Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

White supremacy is terrorism.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

No one could have predicted…

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Commenter bystander is in Rome for a couple of weeks and was wondering if there are any readers in the area who’d like to have a meetup?

I’m happy to coordinate so just drop me a line [email protected]

    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.
