Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

No Justins, No Peace

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Come on, man.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Cole is on a roll !

Good Morning All,

It’s Friday and it’s otmar. Enough said!

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter otmar.

I’ve been negligent with regards to posting updates from life on the road in Europe. So here are some recent pictures.

This set is from our yearly week of skiing in Carinthia.

We were really lucky with the snow and weather this year. 4 days of perfect conditions is more than you can expect.

This is the view from the Gerlitzen towards south-east. The river is the Drau, the long, narrow lake is the Wörthersee.

Looking south-west, you can see Villach.

The mountain ranges you can see are first the Karawanken and behind that is Slovenia with the Triglav massif.

Klagenfurt is the state capital of Carinthia. This here is the of the old town square.

This is the official seat of the Carinthia’s government. (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landhaus_Klagenfurt)

I think I shared a picture of Schloss Rosegg before. They seem to have cut down a number of trees recently, leading to a clear view to the building.

 

Thank you so much otmar, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

    Beautiful! Between today’s and yesterday’s photos, I’ve decided photos are the best way to experience winter.
