Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

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

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Come on, man.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Fight them, without becoming them!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

    And all the cards fell into place, improbably, for Ukraine to go through.

    Interesting that Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri is among the Euro 2020 stats leaders when he can’t even be sure of a starting place at Liverpool FC. There’s been talk that he might be part of a summer exodus of Liverpool’s less-used squad players. I hope it’s not true, but Shaqiri does deserve a starting place at a big club.

    Some serious BS in Rio to get Brazil’s first goal off a Ref deflection. Then they get the win in the 100th minute of the game. Felt horrible for my Columbian friend.

    @Amir Khalid:

    Send him home. He’d look good in the red and blue of FC Basel, and they can use the help.
