Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

      Are you on Camino del Norte? I walked (most) of that route seven years ago. Beautiful. San Sebastian was a highlight. Charming city, great food.

      Mr. Rudbek and I are planning a bicycle pilgrimage on the Camino next August; I’m trying to decide what route to take from Ponferrada (Camino Frances or Camino de Invierno).

      Thank you! What a great picture to start the day with. I could spend a good amount of time just looking at that calm horse and the scene behind him. (My walks do not look like this.)

      Beautiful!  The colors, from the horse to the mountains to the clouds, are exquisite.

      I did the Camino del Norte a few years ago, it was very beautiful, especially the first part from Irun to Bilbao (which also had the best food.) I should send in the photos one of these days.

      Back in 2018 we rented a place in the French Basque country for a month. San Sebastian was only 40 minutes away from where we stayed and we took visiting friends there a coupe of times. We booked a Pintxos tour and I have to say that it was the best food experience of my life.

      The lady who took us around had the shortened name of Marivi. My sister, on the tour with us, went back a couple of years later and asked if Marivi was available, Turned out she was now a local politician but remembered us and agreed to take my sister around again.
