Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Bark louder, little dog.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

You cannot shame the shameless.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Let there be snark.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

On The Road

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

 

Pics, after the jump

A short set from otmar to start out the week:

Where it was taken: Prague
When: last Sunday
Other notes or info about the picture: Last year’s Christmas gift to my wife was a weekend trip to Prague. The train from Vienna takes about 4 hours, so we spent almost two full days sightseeing. This set of pictures is from Sunday noon, where we toured the Jewish quarter of the old town.
1: Cemetery
2: Klaus Synagogue
3: Oldnew Synagogue
4: Spanish Synagogue

And I likely messed up the pictures vs descriptions. Except for the first one; I’m somewhat confident that it is, indeed, a cemetery.

 

Thanks otmar, I know many of us look forward to your next set.

Much more tomorrow – have a great Monday, and for those observing Passover on Tuesday, Chag Sameach!

    @Major Major Major Major: Nice pics. We were in Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar in December. If you want to splurge on a fancy meal in Bangkok, I highly recommend Nahm.

    I also highly recommend a visit to Myanmar for anyone who is going to SE Asia. It is a fantastic place — really nice people, great food, amazing sites, not too expensive.

    otmar, great pictures, thank you! Do you live in Vienna, or were you coming from somewhere else?

    @OzarkHillbilly: @Major Major Major Major: I was in Thailand in 2014, though mostly on Koh Samui and only one night in Bangkok. Going to Chang Mai next November. I really liked Thailand too. Enjoy, MMMM!

    @OzarkHillbilly:

    The older ones really are beautiful and awe-inspiring. My family attended a modern synagogue built in the 1950s. Not even the stained windows were very impressive.

    ETA: And yes, lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing.

    @Major Major Major Major: Bangkok. Exciting. Enjoy.

    Good morning, jackals. In Madeira. Gorgeous. Will try to get you some snaps. Loving my trip, but miss my buds here.

    And fuck Mitch McConnell.

    We should let Canadians vote in US elections. They are laughing at Trump even more than we are. And they bring him up.

    @Baud: Hello bud. Arrive BCN on Good Friday. Think we get a stop at Malaga on Weds. I ❤️ the life aquatic, although this cruise ship was designed by a landlubber. Insane. Gonna see if this is the NCL ship that got slagged by the fuck the fucking NYTimes. They have privatized all the good space!

    Although. Lots of Canadians. So it is sane company.

    Ok. Off to roam. Mostly uphill. Will try to check back before we sail off. Have to be back on the floating apartment building in four hours. And this place so gorgeous. Sad!

    Besos.

    @Major Major Major Major: #2.
    Loved your pix and blog post, Baud. Bangkok is such a huge and sprawling city. I found it easier to use a water taxi on the river when I could. If you like museums, the Royal Barge Museum is interesting. Also, the pic of your bag reminded me that sting ray leather goods are unique and durable. Look forward to following the rest of your trip. Have a wonderful time.

    @otmar:

    Thanks for the pictures, and especially for the wiki links for each place, that’s very thoughtful!

    It is so great to have people reporting with pictures from all over the world!!!

    We’re going to Tuscany next month /to seek asylum/, and will report from there. Excited, except for the connection from local air travel to international flight in ATL. Not happy about ATL at all~!!!
