Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

This really is a full service blog.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

In my day, never was longer.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

    England should be nicknamed Spurs given how many of their starters play for Tottenham (Rose, Kane, Walker, Ali, Dier)

    Welsh supporters singing “You’re going home” to the tune of the classic England 1996 song is high class trolling.

    If Joe Hart is your number one keeper, your youth development system needs a serious overhaul.

    Gryffindor? In other news, can we please have a thread which points out that even with Trump’s historic unfavorable numbers, he’s still almost three times more popular than the Republican Congress? Better still, can we have someone ask Paul Ryan about that?

    @Runt: My favourite chant of the tournament so far was the Irish fans singing “Go home to your sexy wives” to the Swedes.

    Couldn’t watch it at work, but on the radio that sounded whoop-de-do. Vardy and Sturridge, off the bench and in the back of the net.

    It can all still go horribly wrong in the last game depending on other results, but it looks a lot like we’re going through to the next round, and if Wales do the job against Russia they’re coming with us.

    That said, this is England, we’ll probably lose to Slovakia and miss out on qualification on goal-difference.

    Bale opens the scoring

    Vardy has a party

    Studge makes the Kop end howl

    Final score in the Game of Thrones themed tilt: Lions vs. Dragons it was Lannisters 2 – Targaryens 1

    Hopefully GRRM writes a happier ending

    English citizen here, but have to root for the Dragons, as a win over us would be a wonderful thing for them.
