Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Books are my comfort food!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

    The Niners already shook Rodgers steely-eyed confidence, just last Sunday. It can be fairly said that if Rodgers wore one, they wiped the smirk off his face, as well as the dream in his heart borne of the notion that the Pack were on their way to another 13-3 season.

    The Niners look- check that, are- pretty solid, but they won’t be sneaking up on anyone this year (which, of course, made last Sunday’s win particularly sweet). I’ll be shocked if they approach winning 13 games this year.

    How can anyone hate the Packers? Community owned. The best fans on planet earth. A brilliant coach that plays a seriously fun scheme to watch.

    Living in Minnesota, I find being a Packer’s fan is not so hard—plenty of them around here. Now the Vikings, there’s a team to hate. This is a team that has thoroughly embarrassed their fans (0-4 in Superbowls, too many men in the huddle, anyone?) Then they extort millions from a state with massive money problems.

    Of course, the reason so many people in Minnesota loathe the Vikings is that they are named for some of the most successful people of history—MY tribe (Viking democracy since 936 a.d., most successful democracies on earth in 2012, etc.) We are not bumbling, incompetent, unimaginative losers. Just recently, three men sailed a 36 y.o. Swedish-built 31′ sloop through the Northwest Passage—the first sailboat in recorded history to have accomplished this feat. Now THIS is Viking behavior!

    I have a LOT of sympathy for the native americans who are pissed off by the very existence of the Washington “Redskins.”

    Aaron Rodgers on Tim Tebow Christianity:

    “I feel like my stance and my desire has always been to follow a quote from St. Francis of Assisi, who said, ‘Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.’”

    I want to apologize to Tramon Williams for f-ing up his name earlier. 2 INTs tonight – nice.

    Personally, and I think I’d say this even without being a Packers fan, I think he is consistently overrated.

    Oh, what’s that the crowd is chanting?

    “Bears still suck”?

    Why, yes, yes they do.

    Looking forward to more of Cutler’s “Peyton Manning Face” you can never get enough of the sour puss.

    Also too, $Ka-Ching$. Bet against a 2 pt+, weekly line move in the NFL seems to pay more often than not.

    Go Bears. Knock that smirk of Rodgers’ face.

    Your QB throws like this and our QB throws like this.

    Not a good night for the Bears offense.

    This is awesome. Not only are the Packers winning, but JC has decided to take his frustration out on the NeoLiberal JornoList Army, all of whom deserve to have their ivy league diplomas rolled up, lit on fire and shoved….

    No worries. McCarthy improves to a 9-5 record vs Lovie Smith. Excellent to get the win, but Rodgers and receivers have got some shit to work on.

    True, just hoping Benson will be as consistent now as he was the last three years. He had great night, tonight, though, and the run game overall was clicking.
