Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Let’s finish the job.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo stay on his feet? Will journalists’ microphones be safe? How long before Pepe falls to the ground clutching his face?

    Portugal are SO dramatic. It is like watching a tragic opera.

    Sometimes both teams are so terrified of risking anything that I wish they could just go straight to the penalty shootout. This looks like one of those times.

    Nice to see Croatia making a contribution to gender equality. I don’t think 10 – 15 years ago the Croatian goalie would have worn that color.

    If I have to watch an extra 30 minutes of this, I have to consider if it would be better to take up knitting or something.

    @Runt: I cut the lawn yesterday. Maybe I should go watch it grow back.

    @SRW1: That’s Nike, not social awareness.

    There is Champions League quality across the field and this plays like Charlton v Sheffield Wednesday during a February match.

    Oh my, what a counter attack.

    That was a pretty good finish.

    Croatia deserved more, at least they mounted an attack over the last 20 minutes.

    They just interviewed Pepe on television here and this Brazilian was speaking with a Portuguese accent. Who the fuck does he think he is? Brad Friedel?

    @Randinho:

    I spent five years in and around Hawaii with a lot of time spent with Locals and by the time I left I had the pidgin down with the rhythm and accent to sound like I was born on the North Shore. It doesn’t take me long to pick up a regional accent, comes with with a good ear.

    @humboldtblue: Yeah, but he was saying specific words like gente, which Brazilians would say like jen-chee as jen-tay. That’s a marked difference.
