Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Euro 2016 Iceland v Portugal Open Thread

YIt’s almost like a home game for the Portuguese as they have a huge Portuguese immigrant popularion in France.

Kind of sad to see the longtime Icelandic player Einar Gudjonsson missing out on this.

Feel free to trash Pepe in this thread.

    Given that Iceland has only about 300,000 inhabitants, what percentage of the Icelandic population is today in St Etienne?

    @SRW1: Good question..

    First dive by CRonaldo in the 12th minute. Iceland doing some good pressing early.

    @JCJ: Good question. As a commentator said in the 2010 WC: “Anything makes him fall. A puff of wind.”

    @Randinho: nowhere near as bad as Pepe, though. If you offered your hand to pull him up after he has slipped on wet turf, he would clutch his throat and projectile vomit blood

    I’m loving the work rate of the Icelanders (Icelandicians?). Hope they can hang on or even notch another.

    @SRW1:

    Apparently the Icelandic population of males between 18 and 40 is just over 50km, so realistically the pool of players Iceland can potentially draw their team from must be around half that. Kind of puts their 2nd place finish in their qualification group ( ahead of Turkey and Holland) in perspective.

    Come on you Bjorks!

    The Icelanders are really solid and comfortable in defense and the Portugese don’t really look like they’re going to carve them open easily. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that if the Portugese throw everything at them in the last few minutes they’ll overextend and get hit on the break.

    Well deserved point for Iceland.
