Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

In my day, never was longer.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

T R E 4 5 O N

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

    Wow, that was random, Cole! Didn’t even know they were playing tonight. Hey, I guess it takes an ex-Bearcats coach to get WV a winning record, so enjoy. Right after you go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

    Guess I better start paying attention so I can fill out my brackets this weekend! At least Auburn got beat today. The SEC ain’t so hot this year, I don’t know that any of them who manage to get into the Dance will make it past the first weekend.

    Well, yeah, but even the vaunted Cats haven’t been the juggernaut they were in the past.

    As much as I’m thankful for WVU’s helluva season this year (the fact that they’re in the discussion for a #1 seed, however distant, is amazing), I just have a bad feeling about their tournament chances. They just can’t keep a lead, or they give the first half away and are forced to blaze back in the 2nd.

    And what’s with the hollering and jeering in the Garden for this game?

    Holy sweet green Jesus.

    Clutch shot by Butler there, and we escape with a win we shouldn’t have, by all rights. I’ll take it, but yeah, this is why I’m scared for the ‘Eers’ tourney chances.

    Oh, do people still play (and watch) college basketball?

    I’m on the West Coast, where the Pac-10 has completely dominated in terms of total and absolute mediocrity.

    Glad to see GaTech put ol’ Roy out of his misery. Talk about doing less with more.

    Meanwhile, the “shockingly unathletic” ( thanks for the line, Gottlieb, ya putz) will be the last ones standing. Get ready to see Jon Scheyer wearing the net around his neck on April 5.

    I’m a huge UConn fan. *cries* This has been the most craptacular year in the history of craptacular. At least in the early 80s they were supposed to suck. Calhoun did sign a four year extension… so that’s an definite “woohoo!”

    … now for something I thought I’d never utter as a UConn fan: “When does football season start!!”

    We open with Michigan at the big house…
