Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

We will not go back.

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Of course England is heavily favoured, but Denmark fans insist they won’t give up easily…

Both #EURO2020 semi-finals will be held at Wembley. ?

Let’s take a look back at the best performance at the stadium so far this tournament. ??????? pic.twitter.com/6QZRY2R89P

Playing at Wembley Stadium in London. (England v Denmark in the same stadium, tomorrow — doubt there will be much office work accomplished in the UK Wednesday… )

Italy seems to be the logical favorite, but Spain might be classed as beloved underdogs?

Playing in Rome, with England favored. I guess that this, if any, match will attract some attention from you guys…

All roads lead to Wembley ⏳

First semifinal: Italy ? Spain
Second semifinal: ❓

Will it be Ukraine or England playing in the second #EURO2020 semifinal against the winner of the Czech Republic vs Denmark match? ?

After this, play resumes with semi-finals next Tuesday. Bad timing for American watchers!

Playing in Baku Olympic Stadium, for what I’m sure are reasons. Czechs seem to be the favorites, but of course the Danes have sentiment on their side this year.

Then and now ?

Four and a half years since @tomassoucek28 made his senior national team debut in a friendly match against Denmark in November 2016. It finished 1:1.

Proud dane alert ?? With the unity of Denmark and what they’ve been through as a team, I believe they can go all the way. Give my latest column with @guardian a read to get my take on the #Euro2020 so far. Hope you enjoy it! https://t.co/7A8fsK815J

Elsewhere, Copa America is also in quarter-finals. I haven’t been paying attention, but this crossed political twitter:

Brazil won over Chile, 1-0, despite playing with 10 men.

Playing at the St. Petersburg Stadium, which I assume means there will be mordant humor on Russian expat twitter. Spain seems to be the favorite, but as ever, what do I know?

Even the Swiss keeper was shocked to have won.

— The Hoarse Whisperer (@TheRealHoarse) June 28, 2021

When a match ends 5-3 in extra time, 99% of the world can’t shut up about what a glorious affair it’s been.
The 1% is us, goalkeepers, who silently listen to pieces of our souls fizzle and dissolve in the boundless oceans of bubbling hate.
