Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

This really is a full service blog.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

I’m having major connectivity issues as I’m out of town, so this will probably be the only post for tonight.

A game that the USA must not lose if they hope to move on.

    If I didn’t know Costa Rica were in white and gold numbers with red bits I might think it were the USA. Hoping for a win, not sure what the odds are.

    Three goals and one minute of stoppage? Didn’t Mayhew post a study about stoppage length always favoring the home team?

    @Baud: You “just checked the score”? Hey, this bandwagoning sincerity for any team wearing the Red White & Blue is just what America wants in a President.

    If the US still leads by three at 65 minutes, I’d be in favor of giving Nagbe and Pulisic some run.
