Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

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

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Republicans in disarray!

So very ready.

No one could have predicted…

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

    They’re certainly holding firm against Poland so far, and the Poles are a pretty good side. Though every time the commentator talks about Piss-Check I snigger a little.

    NI could pinch this, but they’ll need luck.

    I didn’t know N. Ireland had navy, lots of it, on their green jerseys. Is this a new thing for them? Seems non-traditional.

    Drattage. It’s going to be hard for NI to get ack into this one now. Their priority is to keep this at 1-0 for awhile, sap Poland’s momentum and wait or their chance.

    Odd question: Why aren’t the Northern Irish jerseys orange?

    @mawado: I am not sure why they wear green, but the irish started as one federation up through 1920, and the two did not compete in the same tournaments and qualifications until 1950. The green therefore may come from the original Irish federation. Also, isn’t Orange the Unionist/Protestant color. so might create some issues there? eta: although so might the green
