Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

We will not go back.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

This fight is for everything.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

    I was pissed off that you need NFL network to watch the game, and then I remembered who was playing. Meh.

    Open thread: Wasn’t feeling well, so stayed home today. Instead of sleeping in all day, I went on a major provision run, came home, and cooked like crazy, filling many tupperwares. I never do that. Weird.

    Nobody should be able to use the name of a team that moves until the city that lost the team gets a new team. They would then be allowed to use the old name or pick a new name if they so chose. St Louis could be the Cardinals. Any Team LA gets could be the Rams. Balmer could be the Colts, but if they preferred to go with the Ravens, the name “Colts” would be available for anybody else.

    In a different sport, Utah could never have been the Jazz.

    Baud, please make it so when you sweep to victory.

    @efgoldman: What’s even sadder is that the assignment says precisely what it is meant to achieve. The crazies in Augusta (it’s the county surrounding Staunton where the I-64 meets the I-81) somehow think writing the profession of faith will turn you into a rabid crazy jihadist. How insecure in your faith do you have to be to believe that?

    The theater I’m thinking of is 5 years old and has upgraded to all digital, surround sound, the whole 9 yards. There is a much closer movie house but their seats, sound, and projection sucks little green yoda dicks.

    Saw the 1977 original at a house in Westwood in LA the day after it opened. Had a chance to go to the premiere at the Mann’s Chinese and blew it off for reasons that seemed good at the time. O well. People who were there told me audience went bananas at the end, stayed to watch and cheer the ending credits.

    @Mike J:

    Under that rule, the rightful owner of the NFL team name “Rams” would be Cleveland, not Los Angeles. The only NFL team in existence that traces its origins to Los Angeles is the San Diego Chargers, who began as the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960 and then moved only one year later to become the San Diego Chargers in 1961. On top of that, the rightful owner to the name “Cardinals” for an NFL city would actually be Chicago, not St. Louis.

    The Los Angeles Rams NFL franchise was transplanted from Cleveland in 1946, and the St. Louis Cardinals NFL franchise was transplanted from Chicago in 1960.
