Costa rica?

November 15, 2016

 

Ok, regarding this #MakeAmericaGreat again stuff. Did @realDonaldTrump not realize we have a men’s soccer team?

–

Don’t look now, but the Lakers are respectable again. So is it Luke Walton coaching or Kobe Bryant leaving?

 

ESPN headline  “The CFP race is setting up for an unpredictable and likely controversial finish.”  In other words, water is wet.

–

Lots of Big 10 teams in the top rankings now.   Add another  conference where teams can beat up on each other but still rank higher than Pac 12 teams who do the same thing.

–

Columbia University has at least temporarily stopped its mens’ wrestling team from competing during an investigation of “lewd tweets.”
Once again, bad enough to make the comments, criminal stupidity to put them on the record in tweets. Even Ivy Leagues apparently #cantfixstupid

–

Apparently 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, 29, has NEVER registered to vote. And he thinks Hillary Clinton is an imperfect leader….

–

For election should we really blame #AlGore? If he hadn’t invented internet Hillary’s emails & Trump on Twitter wouldn’t have happened.

 

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that a America who thinks you can find true love on reality show also thinks you can find president on one.

 

Democrats need to remember, it’s as important to keep fighting forward when we’re winning as to fight back when we lose.

–

Wait, I can’t just fire everyone in Congress I don’t like? #PresidentTrumps1stTantrum

–

Has anyone thought that maybe putting #SteveBannon in the White House is to make #Trump look statesmanlike by comparison?

–

So has anyone told Rudy Giuliani that if he becomes Secretary of State he can’t count on FBI friends to bail him out?

 

New sore winner prize to @RealDonaldTrump: if no electoral college “I’d have campaigned in N.Y. FL & CA, & won even bigger & more easily”

–

Twitter says it is cracking down on hate speech. Just in time to keep deranged Tweeters from affecting the US election. Oh wait, never mind.

–

USA doesn’t have “Leader of the Opposition” like UK does, but Democrats need one now to inspire w/ positive message. I nominate @CoryBooker

Be careful what you wish for

If Trump is going to deport immigrants who commit any sort of crimes, does this mean MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA really get chaperones for all their foreign born players. Because assume minor drug crimes, speeding tickets and DUIs count.

–

 

 

Tampa Bay Bucs WR Mike Evans sat during the national anthem to protest Trump’s election “I’m not big on politics or anything like that, but I told myself, ‘If this happens, America is not right right now.’ I said this a long time ago — when he [Donald Trump] ran, I thought it was a joke. The joke continues.”
Good that he feels the right to exercise his free speech, but just maybe Evans might have been more effective had he vocalized his feelings BEFORE people voted?

–

 

 

Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery the latest to be suspended for violating NFL PED policy. He says he took a “recommended supplement” to battle inflammation, and it contained an ingredient on the league’s banned substance list.
Waiting for Goodell to say he’ll cut a game off the suspension of the first guy who owns up and says “Yeah, I was trying to get an edge and got caught.”

 

 

Apparent chaos and endless queues at London Heathrow Terminal 5 this last Sunday when British Airways had an “IT issue early this morning” which “was quickly resolved.” The airline added “We are sorry for the delay to our customers’ journeys.”
Right, but now try to explain to BA if an IT or indeed any issue results in you being delayed and missing a flight.

–

#SteveHarvey ending his talk show. Many Americans were hoping he’d tell us the election was just another Miss Universe results flub.

–

So now Trump says, hey, if Roe vs. Wade is overturned women can just go to another state for an abortion. Sure, I’m sure private jets are standing by. Let them eat cake with pickles and ice cream?

–

 

Way too young. RIP #GwenIfill,,61. She was secretly in hospice. where one can hope she died happily unaware of election results.

–

So it’s bad enough that Steve #Bannon is a white nationalist and an anti-Semite, but he’s also a veteran of Goldman Sachs #swampwhatswamp?

–

And now leaving snark aside, temporarily, for my fellow unhappy moderate and liberal friends:
Voter restriction laws – ID rules, fewer polling places, shortened early voting hours, etc, definitely cost the Democrats in this election. One thing that isn’t getting talked about is how all those things happened – Republican governors and state legislators. (Not coincidental that Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida are governed by Republicans.)
So, if you want to work on change before the next election, start paying attention to local and state races. Now. The voting rights you save may be your own, or at least your party’s.
