Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans in disarray!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

After roe, women are no longer free.

I really should read my own blog.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

    France gives up early.

    England goes against Germany.

    Italy loses after the United States gets in.

    Why does this all sound so familiar?

    Got a Danish friend (insert bearclaw joke here) who is almost literally worried sick about this. For the love of pastries, please let the Danes win this thing convincingly.

    And Japan just ended it…..1-0 already. Danes in serious trouble.

    @MikeJ: If Germany loses to England, will some of their players suit up for Argentina in their next game?

    Do they even play soccer in Denmark?

    @bh: This is why Brazil will win. They’re lovers, not fighters. :-)

    @ColeDBiers: In 1992, Denmark was added to the Euro 1992 competition in place of Yugoslavia afetr they were booted out because of the war in Bosnia.

    They won the competition.

    I keep forgetting that Holland have a virtual home-field advantage with all the Afrikaners rooting for them.

    My friend who is going to Brazil next week found out that the Brazilians get let out of work an hour before any match in the World Cup in which Brazil is playing. It’s policy. So they will definitely all be off when (if?) Brazil plays next week.

    @ColeDBiers: Don’t know if you’re just trolling or not, but given its size, Denmark has an impressive record in international competition.

    Honda is a brilliant player.

    No if. If Portugal beat them tomorrow, they’ll finish second at worst.

    @Leeds man: I think she meant that the people will be off from work if Brazil plays next week

    @Leeds man:
    Thanks, I couldn’t remember if Brazil was definitely through or not.

    @Randy Paul:
    Brazil definitely plays Monday or Tuesday, assuming they get through their group. I just couldn’t remember the standings and if Brazil was definitely through, no matter how they play tomorrow.

    Where in Brazil is your friend going to be? São Paulo? Rio? Tomorrow is going to be rocking and next week even more…

    @Leeds man: Honda really is quite something. He was a steal at $6M for CSKA Moscow.
