Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Everybody saw this coming.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans in disarray!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

    The only two teams I have not seen play. Ecuador can’t win away from home and the Swiss are good.

    Yesterday, at a different venue, I managed to predict the exact score of a game for the first time during this tournament (2-1 Ivory Coast vs. Japan). It was also the first time I didn’t watch the actual game at all… Sometimes I think that it’s extremely easy to overthink soccer and that makes the predictions worse… anyway, without any deeper thoughts… 1-0 Switzerland.

    I’m surprised both teams aren’t filled with surnames like Montero or Montagne

    Is anyone watching the match in English? It seems to only be available on Verizon on a Spanish station.

    So far, it seems like betting on European teams is maybe not the best idea. Today will be interesting because Ecuador and Honduras are pretty bad but I bet at least one of them gets a point.

    @Stan Gable: Italia paid off for me yesterday and I wouldn’t count out Les Bleus. That said, Losing Ribery was a quest que cest moment for France. I’m agnostic on the result, just want to see good futbal

    I suspects this match will be decided by whose defense was careless more times than the other.

    We may be in for the first draw of the 2014 World Cup. (I hope that jinxes it.)

    Lovely save at a desperate time. It is funny how you go into a match without a rooting interest and then pick a side and guess what – I am an honorary Swiss citizen right now

    @beltane: Hahaha. I got into futbol in 1982 since my teenage hormonal ass caught a bad case of lust for Paolo Rossi.
