Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans donā€™t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

This year has been the longest three days of putinā€™s life.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

ā€œAnd when the Committee says to ā€œreport your income,ā€ that could mean anything!

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

    Someday needs to call the police – there’s a murder in progress in Cleveland.

    Anyone know an audio stream in English?

    (Maybe before I pass on I’ll learn enough Spanish to appreciate a futbol broadcast.)

    When the ball reaches Bobby Wood he is dangerous, he does his best not to waste a push and watch the replay, he made that goal happen by not going down in the box.

    That was a great recovery by Bobby Wood to give Jones and Dempsey a chance to link up!

    A little Hawaiian Punch would seem to be in order tonight.

    Stupid move by Jermaine Jones to poke Valencia in the face after Valencia was likely going to receive a YC for the kickout foul against Jones. So both players wound up getting sent off, Valencia just for second yellow and Jones a straight red. US is going to be at a disadvantage in next round, especially if the opponent is Argentina, without Jones and Wood.

    Ref’s going to have a challenge keeping this under control the rest of the game. Getting not only very physical, but very chippy (emotionally volatile).

    When do the defensive substitutions get made? Wood’s gotta get out before he picks up another card (he’s a hothead at times), and Clint’s going to need some rest soon
    .

    For Aston-Villa to have stunk up the bottom of the EPL as awfully as they did this season with as good a GK as Guzan, their field players (especially defenders) must have been absolutely terrible.

    @eclare:

    Been solid up front without him- but he’d be nice here playing a breakaway threat, or for OT, or for PKs.

    We won! I’m still not sure what I’m watching, but I think I’m learning the sport.

    The last time the US and Argentina met in Copa America, on a rainy night in Paysandu, Uruguay in 1995, Cobi Jones and Earnie Stewart tore them apart, and the USA won, 3-0. If you watched it on tape delay on Univision, you haven’t forgotten.

    Somebody in the US organization needs to send a thant you note to Robbie Keane. The mentoring that he has done with Zardes has really been paying off for the US in this tournament.
