Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Not all heroes wear capes.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

    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.

    So not a fan of the fitted shirts. All these guys look like they got some kind of tumors. Those abs gotta breathe

    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.

    @raven: it actually is. i have scheduled them all ahead of time through Tuesday to start ten minutes before each game. I’ll finish the rest of the group stage soon.
