Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

No one could have predicted…

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans do not trust women.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

    There are street level webcams all over Rome, just search on Rome webcams. You can go to one and then signal your friends and they can watch you live. There are webcams in many cities of course, but so many of them are very high and just give views of the street from far above.

    Speaking of streets in Rome, the systematic vandalism of street (traffic) signs around the historic center of Rome is pretty hilarious. You have to look closely or you’ll miss the subtle little changes somebody has added to a bunch of them.

    Even with the 5 back open, I’m afraid that Rome’s just too long a commute.

    If anybody is interested in an emergency root canal by a pro Trump Roman dentist, let me know. I can hook you up.

    @bystander:

    WHAT? REALLY? Crap. I’m so sorry. No part of that sentence should ever happen, let alone on vacation.

    At least you’re not this guy? Surely no BJer could be such a yoogely ugly American.

    @Comrade Colette Collaboratrice: Unfortunately as we arrived at the airport, the first people we saw were holding up “Wolverines” signs. At first I thought, that’s cute. Then we went into passport control to find ourselves in line behind roughly a half-stadium number of these guys and their fans who have nothing better to do with their lives than travel around convincing the Italians their sports choices are infinitely better than those of the Americans.

    oh how I wish I was in Rome… or anywhere in Italy.

    I found a great Airbnb on our last stay there, that is literally a < 5 min walk from St. Peter's Square. You go outside and there's the dome looming in front of you. A short walk to a train station or a 24 hour supermarket.
