Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

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

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

When we show up, we win.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The willow is too close to the house.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

    I find 3rd place games to be weird. Think this might mean more to Morocco than to Croatia, but you never can really tell.

    @JML: I always think of it as the bronze medal game. Kind of like the Olympics, in a way, complete with corruption.

    @Alison Rose: I bet the Moroccans will be real heros back home. They represented their country well.

    Morrocco is an interesting country. It may be the most modern of all Arab countries. They are working on a high speed rail line as well as developing huge photovoltaic arrays that will export electricity to Europe.

    @phdesmond: Could be worse. When South Korea was still in the tournament, Greek commentators always referred to “Notia Korea”.

    “Notia” («νότια») means “south”, not “north”, in Greek. (“North” is “voreia” in Greek.)

    Back in the ancient times before the Super Bowl, there was a game like this in the NFL called the Playoff Bowl. Vince Lombardi called it a losers’ game; he coached it a couple times.

    @James E Powell: I actually went to one of those games at the Orange Bowl in Miami in the 60s. It was the year Tom Matte had to play QB for the Colts because of all the injuries. It wasn’t memorable except for that trivial fact.
