Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Fight them, without becoming them!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

People are weird.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

    I’m missing it. Aargh. Curse you middle school teachers and the elaborate projects you assign that require supplies, multiple trips to the hardware store, office supply store, and lumberyard, and tools. FFS

    Mexico has dominated this match.

    That red card doesn’t help Uruguay either.

    Game of two halves, then. Still one goal in this match, I think.

    I really don’t get why the Urus are so angry with the ref. Haven’t seen anything to justify that.

    @Onkel Fritze: A friend who had sound (the bar I watched at did not) said the commentators thought Uruguay was upset that the second Mexico goal was offside. I haven’t seen a replay yet, but that was, apparently, why Chile – I mean, Uruguay – was so pissed off.
