Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

This fight is for everything.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Bark louder, little dog.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I was promised a recession.

Come on, man.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Euro 2016 Group F Final Game Open Thread

One thread for both games. Hungary has four points, Iceland and Portugal each have two and Austria has one. Lots of possibilities here depending on the results. My heart wants Hungary and Iceland to advance.  Who do you like?

    Group of underdogs. I usually sympathize with underdogs and that remains true for Iceland. But for Hun vs Por I find it deplorable that they can’t both lose, though in the case of Hun that has nothing to do with the guys on the pitch.

    And Hungary takes the lead.

    Wish I’d put money on Hungary and Iceland topping this group. I’m guessing someone could get rich tonight.

    I want Hungary – Portugal to be a draw and Iceland to score two more in order for Iceland to top the group.

    This would be about the right time for Pepe to get booked on a straight red card. He normally likes to help his team this way.

    @SRW1: I would be ok with that. That result would also keep Turkey out of the next round, that would be a huge plus.

    Hopefully they’ll have a new pair of sweat pants for Kiraly. This one looks kinda soiled.

    Hm, if there’s only one more goal in it and that one is scored by Iceland, they and Hungary are the exact same in terms of points and goals and the meeting of the two was a draw. Meaning that the decider would go to the fair play ranking.

    I’m cheering for Iceland. We Americans owe them. Their PMs were all recently annoyed by Trump:

    If that’s your yardstick, you owe everybody.

    How about just because #ICELANDSMITES is a great tag? ;)

    @SRW1: He has his own online shop where if you wish you too can look like a soccer dad practicing with the kids in the backyard by wearing Kiraly-style sweats.

    @bookdragon: The twitter feed is a must-follow when the Iceland national team are playing

    That was a late smiting.

    Hungary, Iceland and Portugal through, Turkey still out. Good enough for me, although the last group later today is probably going to disappoint me on that score.

    @Onkel Fritze:

    Turkey isn’t out yet. It’s the poor guys from Albania that have been sitting in their hotel rooms for three days and are now being told they aren’t needed any more.

    @Onkel Fritze: For Turkey to go out, Ireland needs to beat Italy, or Sweden needs to beat Belgium by not more than 3 goals.

    You know who to root for later today :)
