Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

I really should read my own blog.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

    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.

    That's Master of Accountancy to You, Pal (JMN)

    @Turgid Jacobian: And it’s okay if he suddenly accelerates without warning.
