Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

That pie keeps getting more and more forks, reducing anyone’s chance of even a Perot.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

And so it is for the politically and morally bankrupt Kevin McCarthy.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

This fight is for everything.

There are no moderate Republican – only extremists, and cowards.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

    seriously, i just can’t get into this footbol stuff unless its world cup and USA is still viable. Can’t you do something to make it more palatable somehow, Randinho? I want to appreciate the game, i swear i’m trying, but, its just so painful to me…

    Hate to be a bitch or anything like that, but can one of the other Front Pagers hang up a non-soccer open thread? I don’t want to talk between the soccer folk any more than I’m sure they don’t want to talk around me.

    For a country whose economy is in the shitter, the Irish fans have managed to turn out in force.

    Bloody hell, that gobshite Tommy Smyth is in the studio. Can’t they find some ice floe off the coast of Greenland to put him on?

    … And the Irishmen are 3 – 1 down within five minutes of resuming play. Somehow I don’t fancy their chances today.

    Two early second half goals from Croatia and Ireland have a mountain to climb. Looks like they’re going to go all out trying to get a goal or two back ASAP, what have they got to lose?

    Ireland are poor; hard to make a judgement on whether Croatia are good enough to give Spain or Italy a scare, given that they’ll need to do more than bang it up to two big head-the-balls.

    Between the two matches today, ESPN finally decided to address the violence from some Russia fans, as well as cover the controversial, troubling BBC Panorama profile of Ukraine-Poland as the UEFA choice to host these matches. US viewers can watch the 30-minute documentary “Stadiums of Hate” here.

    In other news, poor Ireland!

    Uh-oh. Irish keeper Shay Given may have picked up an injury, says the BBC; toward the end of the match, he began leaving the goal kicks to a teammate.

    Ireland had to play more direct because they were eaten alive in the midfield. Luca Modric had an OK game and Croatia still owned the center. I think they can do the same to Italy….Spain and Croatia make it out of the group.
