Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Republicans in disarray!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Can the Swiss hold off Cameron and secure a spot in the knockout round? Will Ecuador add to their -15 goal differential?

    Not World Cup related but wanted to ask: did you see the Colombia Venezuela game on Sunday? I was very surprised how out of sorts the Colombian team looked. And Brazil played well but was close with Peru. Wonder how that Colombia Brazil game tomorrow will work.

    Ecuador has a -15 GD?

    I know it’s the first go-around with the added teams, but: Is that a record? And if so, how long will it stand?

    @ThresherK:

    No idea if it is a record, but if it is, it’s unlikely to survive the end of this round.

    @SRW1: I was out hiking and just tuned in. Holding Japan to 0-1 would be a triumph for ECU.

    Cameroon is on the verge of qualifying. Cool.

    @ThresherK: If they don’t score they’ll leave the record at -16 as I write this.

    @Valdivia: Falcao may be Colombia’s biggest disappointment. He was also Manchester United’s worst transfer in recent memory.

    @Randinho:

    And yet, the way it looks is that the next destination for Falcao is a loan stint at Chelsea.

    Yes, it would be.

    My youngest has a close friend in Japan who stayed with us last summer. They took opposite sides in this Japan/Ecuador game and have been doing some major trash talking via Skype this afternoon. Lots of swearing and gloating over the intertubes just now.

    It’s funny, when you posted the initial rankings, the only one I thought you undersold was Cameroon. Just had a feeling, I know nothing about the teams’ relative strength. Clearly I should’ve placed a bet…

    Yes, I switched matches just in time to watch Cameroon’s equalizer, and stayed to the end. Wow, that Onguene is quick and fast. Other Cameroonian players have nifty spin moves as well. They did a great job capitalizing on their quickness.

    @Jake Nelson: The problem was that Japan was the only one I had seen before. I ranked Switzerland slightly ahead because of their record in qualification.
