Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

He really is that stupid.

People are weird.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Absolutely Awful

The Steelers opponent, the Broncos, start Pope John Paul Steve Beuerlein, age 97, and the Steelers still manage to lose, with judicious help from the officials in the last minute of the game. Regardless, you can not pin this on the Zebras, despite the bullshit calls, because Alexander should have intercepted that pass to end the Broncos drive. And let’s not even talk about the offensive line for the Black-n-Gold, which is just plain offensive.

I am beginning to understand where the terrible comes from in the “Terrible Towel.” The Steelers are 2-4. Blech.

    I didn’t think the steelers would even come back and tie it, so I think that’s good.

    But, this team will go nowhere with the OL they have.

    Elam is automatic with in 50 yards. So, as I saw them cross the 35 I knew it was over.

    If ever there was a gimmie, Alexander had one…..and droped it on the ground.

    If it’s any consolation, the Raiders are also 2-4, and coincidentally the average age of their team is 97.

    At least your team didn’t cough up a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter.

    With my Raiders at 2-4, after two consecutive weeks of coughing up 2nd half leads, I know full well how you feel.

    At least your favorite team didn’t have an onsides kick run back for a touchdown against them ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME like my Eagles did.
