Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We still have time to mess this up!

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

    The BBC lists Germany vs. Norway as kicking off at 21:00 on June 11: you’ve jumped the gun by about a day.

    No matter. We have an open thread.

    In a football-related news story, Brazilian legend Arthur Antunes Coimbra “Zico” has tossed his hat in the ring for the upcoming FIFA special presidential election, joining (if I’m not mistaken) fellow legends Michel Platini (the current UEFA president) and Luis Figo.

    For those who have seen “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a bit of whimsy:

    In just a few weeks at the box office, Mad Max: Fury Road has already inspired a ton of fervent fan devotion. Now it seems the war boys have made it all the way into Amazon reviews…. The film features a chrome spray the war boys use when they think they’re going to meet their end, and that product is fairly similar to Wilton Silver Cool Mist over on Amazon. Uh-oh.

    The war boys have found the cool mist and are hijacking the reviews with hilarious notes like “What a spray! What a lovely spray!” and references back to their fearless leader Joe.

    And the USA has just won 2-1. The German team hasn’t played a single good game since winning the World Cup.

    @Amir Khalid: Dóooohh!!!!!!

    I thought that there were games today, but there aren´t, obviously in honor of my 21st wedding anniversary.

    @Randinho: It’s OK, you gave us a day’s notice so we could record it. For those of us who can’t watch live.

    Amazing friendly today between the US and Germany.

    The US played so well and so aggressively. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a US side play like that.

    I remember when, for teams like Germany and Brazil, it was a national tragedy to lose to the USA.

    What is a good site for sports news? Deadspin and Grantland don’t have enough scores and such; Yahoo Sports looks like an old GeoCities site. Are my best options ESPN and SI, assuming I avoid Peter King?

    I think ESPN is probably going to be your best choice. I am not terribly impressed with SI.com.

    It’s also odd that I have something in common with Bo Jackson. Namely, two artificial hips. I’m waiting for the Borg nanoprobes to start developing.

    Thanks to all for the kind words.

    @Steve in the ATL: I like Bleacher Report and SB Nation.
