Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The lights are all blinking red.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

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

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

    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.
