Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Fight them, without becoming them!

In my day, never was longer.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

Steelers Ravens Open Thread

This should be a good one, although since JSF apparently retired from commenting, less so than normal.

*** Update ***

That was a catch by Ward, and regardless, an illegal hit by Lewis and the ball should have been on the 1. Total bullshit.

    Go STEELERS! I think I’m going to switch allegiances before the playoffs this year. The Redskins are out of it already.

    NBC needs to cram more insufferable douchebags into their pregame show. Peter King, Mike Florio and Tony Dungy just aren’t enough!

    A bit nervous about this one for many of the obvious reasons. I also wish Woodley were in. He’s been a beast this season and will be missed on defense.

    I’m 11-1 ATS this week, and I have the Steelers.

    That’s good news and bad news for you, JC.

    I have a proposition for you, Mr. Cole.

    I will refrain from rooting for the Ravens if you agree to refrain from rooting for Real Salt Lake.

    Sorry, that’s as far as I can go. Actually rooting for the Steelers is out of the question.

    Also too, J-E-T-S!

    Well the Steelers aren’t trying to help JC’s stress level, it seems.

    Thank goodness for holding.

    I have a hard time watching the Steelers get punked out, but they’re just not able to hang with Baltimore physically anymore. Need to figure out a new way to get after this team.

    1) Refs are on an anti-steeler rampage.

    2) Steeler O needs to reward the D by getting more long drives.

    3) Steeler O needs to figure out how to put the fucking ball in the fucking end zone.

    Skol Vikings! Oh crap, that’s next Monday. In Green Bay I can only hope Ponder and the defense can keep it respectable. The fucking Packers are currently the best team in football but they are not invincible. San Diego proved you can score on them and Ponder kept it close in his first start, the question is can he do it in Lambeau?

    For all the people who claim the refs help the Steelers all the time, I point to tonight’s game and invite you to kiss my ass.

    @horatius: How long has Israel had nukes? Probably during the Six-Day war, certainly by the Yom Kippur war. How often have they used them? None.

    Will Iran possess the same discipline? Maybe so. Will the United States and/or Israel let them finish the nukes without a few strikes on known facilities?

    No. The best that we can hope for, I fear, is that the Saudis wait for the Israelis who will wait for the U.S.
