Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

T R E 4 5 O N

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

So very ready.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Let me file that under fuck it.

    Colombia is a much better team. But I was expecting that.

    Colombia should have beaten Brazil in the World Cup QF, though had they done so, we wouldn’t have experienced those six astonishing minutes in Belo Horizonte. They’re still an elite side, a class above the US, though I feel as if James Rodriguez made the wrong choice to go to Real.

    A good team playing well always makes a middling team look poor.

    @burnspbesq:

    Agreed – we do have some quality players, but not enough top-class international players to consistently compete well against other strong international sides. One of the bitter ironies is that Brad Guzan is a top-class goalkeeper, who unfortunately is stuck on both a terrible English professional side (Aston-Villa) and a second-rate international side (US). Well yes, Tim Howard was also top-class in his prime, but in the sunset of his professional career at 37, having lost his starting gig with Everton of the EPL mid-season 2015-16, and like quite a few over-the-hill European stars do now, is heading over to the US this summer to finish his career in the MLS as the GK for the Colorado Rapids.
