Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Let’s finish the job.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Republicans don’t trust women.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

Come on, man.

Neither team scored, but were routed in their first games. Can they change their luck?

    Eight debutantes this time. Cameroon and the Netherlands are the only newbies who’ve won so far.

    @Baud: The scheduling with regard to venue lcations has been poor. I don’t recall group games occurring simultaneously during the men’s WC.

    Not to mention no games in Toronto. WTF?

    Good game so far. Fun to watch, if not the best the tourney has to offer.

    There’s a certain charm to two sides with porous defenses going at each other like a bag of indignant hamsters.

    Hey, can someone repost the link(s) to stream the games on line (especially FS2).

    Asking for a friend.

    They’ve generally got decent streams.

    Toronto is still in mourning after losing the effervescent presence of the Buffalo Bills.

    I didn’t think Thailand would be this much better than CIV. In fact, I didn’t know they were supposed to be better at all.

    @Steeplejack:

    I think it’s very nice of the Thai players to roll the pitch down for the groundstaff as well as performing their sporting duties.

    I can’t help feeling that the Thai team might consider tackling at some point as a defensive tactic.

    Leaving aside the relatively limited skill of both teams, the audience seems to be having a blast, which is great to see.

    Yay Thailand! My wife and daughter are cheering wildly!

    @JCJ:

    I am happy for them (and you, by extension) but that was one epically strange bunglefest of a game. Great fun to watch in its hallucinatory way, mind you!

    @ThresherK:

    I also found this potentially useful Reddit page.

    If you go to the parent page, there is a post for every WWC match with a similar level of detail.

    @Morzer:

    That game was definitely lacking in quality, but still entertaining. I was going nuts watching the sponge-like defense.

    @Randinho: Toronto has the Pan Am games in July (I am hearing juicers everywhere saying “what the hell are the Pan Am games”) so they couldn’t schedule any of the world cup games here. Instead we get a massive traffic headache for games no-one cares about. Even the soccer for the Pan Am games is in Hamilton (about a hour from Toronto)
