Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

    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.

    That was an excellent free kick. Close to perfection.

    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.
