Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

Republicans don’t trust women.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

    Very frustrated. Been trying to stream, yeasterday and today, without cable (which I did with almost all of the men’s cup last summer using Telemundo).

    Time says free streaming is possible:

    Telemundo, a free over-the-air station in much of the country, is broadcasting 10 World Cup matches in Spanish—including the June 9 Colombia-Mexico match and the June 10 and France vs. Colombia on June 13. Most other matches can be viewed with Spanish commentary via … NBC Deportes website or app. CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that viewers needed to sign in with a pay TV account to stream via NBCDeportes.com. But it looks like this step is unnecessary. We were able to successfully stream the Sweden-Nigeria match on the site in Spanish on Monday afternoon without signing in or providing proof of a pay TV subscription.

    I’ve been trying both in Safari and with Chrome; I’ve taken off Private browsing, turned off Adblock, and now disabled Symantic w/no luck at all. I guess I should try clearing Flash, so I’ll do that now. It’s driving me bananas.

    Any advice would be met with great gratitude. I’m going mad with frustration.

    @piratedan: Disturbingly short on fanservice.

    And one of the announcers doesn’t know that the Mexican wave isn’t an American baseball thing.

    Japan got the HUGE benefit of a dubious foul called on the Swiss GK on a 50-50 ball which the Japanese attacker did touch first, but which the GK then touched and deflected *before* colliding with the attacker. The Swiss created far more strong attacking and potential goal-scoring chances than the Japanese, especially during the second-half, but couldn’t finish any of them.

    @cmorenc: Agree. Can’t believe that was a call, much less a yellow card! If I were the Swiss goalie I’d be spitting mad. Japan got lucky, and the Swiss the opposite.

    @Aleta: Yes, sucks that it’s so hard to watch a game without a cable subscription.

    @grrljock:Thanks. It was possible last summer, and bloody fantastic, so I thought it would be similar. But apparently the rights were sold differently for this year. What Time mentioned might be possible for people with an android or iOs.
