Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

How stupid are these people?

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Books are my comfort food!

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Republicans in disarray!

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

    Lauren James suspended for 2 games – well-deserved.

    I’m looking forward to tonight’s games. My prediction is Spain v Japan semi.

    @Trollhattan: None of the games are being played in an Aussie Rules venue, especially the two games today in NZ. Wellington Regional Stadium is a rugby union/cricket/football stadium.

    Sweden def. Japan 2-1. Japan were 2-0 down before they decided to throw everything at the Swedes, who tired badly. Japan missed a penalty after 76 minutes but scored from regular play 10 minutes later. Japan attacked ferociously in the 10 minutes of extra time but couldn’t get past the Swedish defence. A great game to watch, now I have to cook some dinner.

    Nil at the half.  French are lucky, their GK is totally out of sorts.

    @eclare: their backline is a little shaky too… jittery play in front of a partisan crowd, makes one marvel at the US triumph in Paris back in ’19 under similar circumstances.
