Up in smoke?

January 31, 2017

 

Stephen Jackson said today in an interview he and other players occasionally smoked marijuana before playing in NBA games. Next thing someone will say is that the Gatorade on the sideline is wet.

–

Some uproar in SF area about @49ers choosing John Lynch as GM as he has no experience. Maybe no one with any experience would take the job?

–

New 49ers GM John Lynch says SF is going to “aggressively recruit” talent to “make us even stronger.”
Well, it would be hard to make the team much weaker.

 

 

At Super Bowl media event, avowed Trump friend Tom Brady said he wasn’t talking politics, but later was asked his opinion of what was going on in the world “What’s going on in the world? I haven’t paid much attention. I’m just a positive person.”
I think I liked “I knew nothing about deflated footballs” better.

–

I apologize, clearly Trump DOES listen to people who know what they are talking about. .

The Associated Press on Twitter
“.@AP has learned President Donald Trump’s voter fraud expert is registered in 3 states.

–

Sean Spicer today said people shouldn’t be upset that Trump’s Holocaust remembrance statement didn’t mention Jews, and that “nitpicking” the statement is “just ridiculous.”
What is ridiculous is that Spicer could say that with a straight face.

–

Suspect in Quebec City mosque shooting is French-Canadian so can we expect Trump’s travel ban to include Canadians?

–

Gosh, #QuebecCityMosqueShootingoff off headlines at Fox News already. Sure it has nothing to do w/ fact shooter is white.

–

When Donald Trump heads to England to visit Queen will be interesting if British customs officer asks to see his social media account.

–

Well, that didn’t take long. Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for not enforcing one of his executive orders. Remind me again how he’s going to let Jim Mattis overrule him on torture etc?

 

Thinking maybe it’s not too soon to start a pool on when Jim Mattis resigns or is fired?

–

Trump’s purported next executive order might limit the number of foreign workers high-tech companies can hire. And he was upset by how much he lost the popular vote in California by before….

–

Tweeted by a man who never expects to fly a commercial plane for the rest of his life, especially Delta.
“Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,…..”

 

Unnamed White House official on the travel ban ‘It really is a massive success story.” Hmm, wonder what it was designed to distract attention from?

–

Give Trump credit, 1st President to get tens of thousands of Americans to go to airports without their own flights involved.

–

One good thing about this #BoycottStarbucks, as a liberal when I’m in line now I know I can safely have a political discussion.

–

From Roberta.   “For anyone worried that those 10,000 refugees are “taking American jobs”; at the rate Starbucks stores are proliferating in this country, that’s only an average of 1-2 refugees per store.”

Semi-pro football?

January 30, 2017

SF  49ers reportedly sign John Lynch to a 6 year contract as GM.   Not a bad deal if it’s guaranteed as if York stay President of the team Lynch will probably only have to work 3.

 

Give the #ProBowl players credit, they produced a game that was more compelling than 8-11 NFL playoff games.

–

But to be fair, the Pro Bowl uniforms look like they should have footsies on them.

–

Delta Airlines tonight had a “systems outage that has resulted in departure delays for flights on the ground” This a week after United Airlines had a similar problem. Can we blame Trump?

–

As a pro left-hander, have to wonder, soo is this is what America deserves for mistake of electing right-handed President to follow a lefty? #lefthandersareonlypeopleinrightmind

 

(George H.W., Bill Clinton and Obama were all lefties.)

–

Starbucks defiantly said tonight they would hire 10,000 refugees in next five years. Standby for “lousy coffee” tweet from Trump in 3.2.1..

–

A story making the rounds about a Colorado woman trying to frame some Trump inauguration memorabilia last week, and being turned down by a framing store because the clerk didn’t feel comfortable about it.
Where are the defenders of religious freedom on this one?

 

Story many people never expected to see: “A spokesman for Angela Merkel President said yesterday the German chancellor ‘explained’ the Geneva Refugee Convention to the new President.”

–

Priebus on Meet the Press “Everyone’s suffering in the Holocaust, including obviously all of the Jewish people affected.” Yes, he said it.

–

Realize millions of Americans support Trump’s actions. But millions voted for him thinking he’d never do many things he said. #sad

–

OK, as he said, it’s just preliminary, but CNN reports that White House Policy Director Stephen Miller says Trump officials “are discussing the possibility of asking foreign visitors to disclose all websites and social media sites they visit, and to share the contacts in their cell phones. If the foreign visitor declines to share such information, he or she could be denied entry.”
So wonder how Americans would feel about doing the same upon arrivals in other countries when WE travel?

Degrees

January 30, 2017

That moment when you turn on sports talk radio for comparatively calm and reasonable conversation. #trumpweek1

–

 

OKC’s Enes Kanter says he apologized to his teammates after breaking his arm by punching a chair during a game with Dallas last week. But did he apologize to the chair?

–

On a lighter note, because we need some of those these days, Serena Williams is a damn good tennis player.

 

On another lighter note, who did the Clippers think they are tonight, the Lakers?

 

And he’s adorable too. So jealous.

 

Nikki Haley, saying that at the UN, we will “show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well, For those that don’t have our back, we’re taking names…”
Of course, the way things are going, the US could have a lot fewer allies to worry about.

–

Yeah, there are some truly terrifying men in the world today. How long until some country decides to put in an American ban?   Or specifically orange Americans?

–

Dr Gholam A. Peyman, born in Iran, US resident since 1970s, invented LASIK. Can we ban Trump supporters from having the surgery? #Muslimban

–

A Thailand court sentenced man to 11 yrs in prison for posting material online judged “insulting” to monarchy. Scary. Hope Trump didn’t see it.

–

Iran’s Asghar Farhadi is nominated for best foreign film, now may not be able to attend Oscars until he gets some sort of a waiver, fast.  Can Meryl Streep accept for him, with speech time?

–

Trump has given Steve Bannon of Breitbart News a seat on the National Security Council. I’m ready for Bobby to come out of the shower now.

–

Federal Judge Ann Donnelly temporarily blocked President Trump’s Executive Order on refugees with an emergency ruling that applies to detainees already in the United States, or those mid-flight. She said that sending the refugees home now could cause them “irreparable harm.”
Standby for Trump’s tweet calling for removing Donnelly from the bench in 3.2.1….

–

Just wondering, what happens with flight attendants from the 7 banned countries? #malicewithoutaforethought

 

A rare serious thought  for a change. Ok, I understand that there are threats that many US civilians don’t understand and so there may be more reasons we don’t know behind Trump’s executive order about citizens of some Muslim countries.
On the other hand, when we live in difficult and nuanced times, what stands out to me is that this EO was dashed off with all the calm reasoned well-thought-out logic of a 3 am Twitter post.

The first cut is the deepest.

January 28, 2017

Already nostalgic for when “Tiger Woods misses cut” was the most headshaking headline of the day

–

Skip Bayless tweeted out that if Mason Crosby hadn’t “lucked in” a 56 yd field goal, “the Cowboys would have beaten the Falcons and would be playing the Patriots. A shame.”
Uh, yeah, and if the SF Giants had a closer they’d still be saying “Wait until next year” in Chicago. #WTF?

–

How did this happen? Lebron James, 32, will be the oldest player in the NBA All-Star game.

–

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon to ESPN on the team’s move to LA “I don’t think we’re going to lose everyone in San Diego.I really don’t think of it like that. I just think of it as we’re on a break — like a relationship. You know? But she’ll be back and we will be back. We will be back together. That’s how I look at it.”
Shockingly, Gordon is single.

–

Bill Littlejohn, after the Dallas Cowboys said they’d handle the Romo problem “with kid gloves: “Right,and the kid’s name is Dak Prescott.”

–

Trump honoring #HolocaustMemorialDay by saying Christians to be given priority over other refugees seeking to enter United States. #WTF

–

Regarding that wall….Trump does know about tunnels, right? And people who just overstay visas?

 

If the question is #WWJD, pretty sure He would not demand proof of Christianity to save someone’s life.

–

and so what happens if some potential refugee claims they are trying to enter the US to avoid being forced to have an abortion

–

Russia’s parliament just voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence, when it doesn’t cause “substantial bodily harm” and doesn’t repeat within 12 months.
Waiting for the Trump tweet on this one….

–

Trump on Twitter, still obsessed with his popular vote loss: “Look forward to seeing final results of VoteStand. Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better!”

Since California is so much of his vote count problem, maybe he should just ask the state to secede and then build a wall ? And then let’s talk about tariffs.

–

So if Donald Trump really believes that illegals voted, why doesn’t he call for a new election?

 

Remember innocent days when U.S. tourists were viewed as ugly Americans just for being too loud with too much money?

–

How long until Donald Trump replaces words on Statue of Liberty “give me your tired…” with ad for Trump Hotels?

–

“The media is the opposition party.” Small act of resistance. “Welcome to your unlimited digital access to The Washington Post” #Subscribe

 

–

And okay folks, if you’ve stuck with me this long especially since the 2016 Presidential election you either share or put up with my politics –  But for another serious example of why I am very fond of Cory Booker – from a Friday interview.

“I don’t understand why the media is treating Donald Trump with such kid gloves. These are not ‘untruths.’ These are not ‘alternate facts.’ These are lies and propaganda.”

Harsh

January 27, 2017

ESPN reports Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski apparently is disciplining players by temporarily kicking them out of the locker room and forbidding them from wearing team gear.
Shame coach K is at Duke, at many top basketball schools he could issue the ultimate punishment – make them go to class.

–

Seahawks assistant coach Rocky Seto is leaving the team to enter the ministry. Hmm, if he really wants to be around  a lot of people praying every Sunday, maybe Seto should join the 49ers.

–

LeBron James was already unhappy about Cavs roster. Now Cleveland lost to Sacramento Kings. Who’s getting fired this time?

–

Things are getting crazy enough in U.S. that Americans are actually looking forward to the sober sensibility of Super Bowl media week.

–

OT Joe Thomas says the Browns should use their first pick on a pass rusher. Now, before Deshaun Watson gets too happy about potentially dodging that bullet, remember, the #2 pick goes to the 49ers.

–

Steve Bannon “I want you to quote this. The media here is the opposition party.” Time to subscribe to another newspaper. #Resist

–

On a positive note, have to guess that President Trump is really really good for U.S. wine sales.

–

Dow when Obama took office, 7949. Dow when Obama left, 19,887. Now Trump taking credit for Dow 20,000. Talk about Hidden Figures.

–

President wants a 20% tax on all U.S. imports from Mexico to pay for the wall. Uh, $2.8 billion of that is beer. Drink up, Trump voters.

–

Scientists have moved #doomsdayclock closer to midnight. Kellyanne Conway explains that White House clock runs on alternative time.

–

While 20% Mexico tariffs make their fruit expensive, we build a wall to keep immigrants out. Uh, who’s going to pick the fruit we grow?

–

Now Mexican Pres. Nieto isn’t attending a meeting w/ Trump Jan 31.over wall $$$.. But who needs Mexico when Trump Tower has best taco bowls?

–

Reince Priebus ‘If you defy the laws of this country, you shouldn’t receive federal taxpayer dollars’
But if you settle a fraud lawsuit for $25 million you can live in taxpayer-paid housing.

–

Who says I never post anything nice about Republicans?! Vamos Lindsey!

Lindsey Graham on Twitter
“Simply put, any policy proposal which drives up costs of Corona, tequila, or margaritas is a big-time bad idea. Mucho Sad. (2)”

–
The Trump administration is likely to eliminate a proposed DOT rule requiring airlines and travel agents to disclose baggage fees during a fare search.
Well, of course, travelers who don’t like baggage fees should just use a private plane.

–

GOP voters today: “Fantastic, Trump shrinking govt & instituting hiring freeze.” GOP voters next month. “Why can’t i get my call answered?”

Could be greater?

January 25, 2017

Lebron James is not happy with the Cavs. “We’re not better than last year, from a personnel standpoint.” And last year Cleveland was so heartbreaking close….

–

Following on our President’s lead the Chicago Cubs have asked for investigation to prove they also won 2016 World Series games 1, 3 & 4.

 

Tostitos has come up with “alcohol sensor bags.” While the bag won’t be sold to the public at least this year, they will light up green if you breathe on them and the sensor doesn’t detect alcohol. If it detects alcohol the bag will flash red with a “don’t drink and drive” message.
Cool idea, but if you’ve got to go looking for a Tostitos bag to decide if you’ve had too much to drink, you’re probably drunk.

(and if you finish the bag, alcohol might not be why  you’re impaired.)

–

The San Diego bowl group announced they are terminating Poinsettia Bowl to focus on the Holiday Bowl. Hope this doesn’t bring colossal disappointment to some .500 team this year who will just miss the postseason.

–

#BrentMusberger is retiring. Any way we can convince Brent to take Joe Buck with him?

–

Sad.  Mary Tyler Moore, 80, has passed away.   In her honor, all women should embrace their inner spunk.  – “You’ve got spunk. I hate spunk.”

–

In practice for Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Orlando Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hit a 75-yard field goal. Stay tuned for Sean Spicer to say tomorrow how President Trump made an 80-yard one in college intramurals.

 

–

White House plans to take action to address governmental “inappropriate” social media use. Psst. Look in the Oval Office

–

Trump vows no federal aid for sanctuary cities like NY & San Francisco. Does that mean we can stop paying federal taxes too?

–

GOP Rep. Lamar Smith. “Better to get your news directly from the President. In fact,it might be the only way to get the unvarnished truth.”  #whythereisnosatire

–

And here we go….President Donald Trump tweeted early today that he is ordering a “major investigation” into voter fraud. Like his major investigation into Obama’s birth certificate?

–

This makes sense: U.S. intelligence says evidence of Russia hacking our election, so Trump going to investigate voters in blue states. #WTF?

–

So can some journalist who wants to be next Woodward/Bernstein please find some evidence of illegal GOP voters?

 

Trump on his CIA speech: “I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl and they said it was equal.”
Guess the President doesn’t remember in 2016 Denver won the Super Bowl in SPITE of Peyton Manning.

 

–

So now torture is a good thing. I forgot, what position did @realDonaldTrump appoint Jack Bauer to?

 

 

From T.C.  So I went to see the movie “Patriots Day” and discovered that it had nothing to do with football, Brady or Coach Belichick. Next on the agenda is to watch record 14 Oscars nominations film “La La Land”. This movie is about the state of Donald Trump’s brain, right?

–

Now that the Women’s March is over, what’s next? Well, for starters hope everyone involved is registered to vote and plans to exercise that right. Beyond voting, it’s not too soon to start paying attention to candidates for the future. And while congressional and most state elections aren’t until 2018, there are many municipal and local elections in 2017, which matter too, a lot. City councils and school boards not only set local policy, but also they can be stepping stones for higher office.
In addition, contact your state and local elected officials when you feel strongly about something, They do keep track of numbers.
But short version, get involved and stay involved. The country you save may be your own.
And now back to your regularly scheduled snark.

And the nominees are….

January 25, 2017

Oscar nominations are out & least this year #OscarsnotsoWhite. Alas, instead, we have #WhiteHousesoWhite

 

And here we go again with Oscar snubs, but to be fair, the Brooklyn Nets haven’t done a great job of acting like a professional NBA team.

–

So did Meryl Streep really get her 20th Oscar nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins…. or because the Academy really wants to see her take another shot at Donald Trump?

 

These Sean Spicer press conferences making Americans look forward to serious deep analysis of Super Bowl media week.

–

Some controversy over Steve Kerr saying that NBA players made a “mockery” of All-Star voting. And really, who did they think they are – fans?

–

Philip Rivers was added to the Pro Bowl today and says he looks forward to the opportunity to play one more game as a San Diego Charger.
Guessing it will also be an opportunity for Rivers to get used to the size and enthusiasm of the crowds the Chargers will play in front of in Los Angeles

–

SF 49ers have announced they are freezing season-ticket prices for the next two seasons. Wonder how many fans are holding out until the team starts paying THEM?

–

President Trump is hanging a panoramic photo of his Inauguration Day in the press room at the White House; the picture was was taken from an angle showing a good-sized crowd. This was all more fun when he was just concerned about the size of hands.

 

Imagine if after game 7 champion wins Lebron James or Joe Maddon immediately started claiming cheating officials kept Cavs & Cubs from 4-0 sweeps.

–

The anti-narcissist: After Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was “the best in sports,” Pop’s reply “That’s very flattering but obviously untrue. I’ve been around a long time and we’ve won some games, and if you’ve forgotten, I got to coach Tim Duncan. That made me look pretty good.”

–

f Democrats really managed to get 3 million illegals to vote wouldn’t they have bused in some in to WI, MI, FL or PA?

 

3-5 million voted illegally? Well, WI & MI are near Canada, NC & FL are coastal. Time to investigate potential foreign Trump voters?

–

Trump says he’s going to “send in the Feds” if the “carnage” in Chicago doesn’t stop. Yeah, that worked so well at Kent State.

–

Donald Trump is going to block all visas into the U.S. for peoole from Iraq. Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, in theory to stop terrorists. Not that history, even recent history, is Trump’s strong point. But did he forget about France, England, Belgium, Turkey and oh yeah, Saudi Arabia?

Play ball…. asap

January 23, 2017

Considering everything that is going on in USA right now can we declare a state of emergency requiring baseball to start spring training earlier?

 

#Spurs without Leonard, Ginoboli, Gasol and Parker beat #Nets by 26. This might hurt Brooklyn’s chances for a seeding in March Madness.

–

Apparently ticket sales for this year’s Super Bowl are starting out slowly. Although maybe jaded Patriots fans saving their money for a more interesting and warmer location than Houston next year forgot the 2018 game is in Minneapolis?

–

He has since deleted his Twitter account, but Johnny Manziel tweeted today “Yo, POTUS even I know to stay away from the notifications section on twitter. S— will drive you crazy, lead the country and let them hate,”
You really do have to worry about the apocalypse when Johnny Manziel is the voice of reason.

–

#MarcoRubio wanted Americans to trust him to stand up to our country’s enemies. He can’t even stand up to Trump.

–

Trump claimed last Thursday that Tom Brady called to congratulation him just before the inauguration. Hmm…. all Matt Ryan might need to make the Falcons America’s new team might be a pussy hat.

–

Trump is changing America’s relationship status with the rest of the world to “It’s complicated.”

–

Chelsea Clinton this weekend on social media “Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does — to be a kid.”
Quite true, although Barron’s father is about 60 years past using his own chance..

–

Steve Kerr is upset about player voting for the NBA All-Star, after many didn’t vote, and out of 324 who did, 128 ignored Lebron and 154 ignored Durant. “I think if you’re going to give the players [the vote], I think they should take it seriously.”
As seriously as many voters took the 2016 Presidential election?

–

#familyvalues Matthew Wollman, a member of the South Dakota house has resigned after admitting to “consensual sex with two interns who were over 21.” A statement from the SD House Speaker said that Wollmann decided ‘this was best for him, his fiancé, his family and the young ladies involved.’
Well, maybe former fiance?

 

–

President Trump today issued an executive order to declare Jan. 20, 2017 as “National Day of Patriotic Devotion.” Saying the proclamation was “to strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country — and to renew the duties of Government to the people.”
Even Kim Jong-Un is thinking, really Mr. President, less is more.

–

Trump also met with congressional leaders today. Apparently he’s still upset about reported inauguration crowd size. And he claimed again that 3-5 million illegal votes cost him the popular vote.
Anyone out there still doubt the Narcissistic Personality Disorder diagnosis?

–

Trump administration ordered EPA to freeze all grants & contracts. Now can they toast decision with pitchers of Flint, Michigan water?

Are we heading for a stupor bowl?

January 22, 2017

Maybe Falcons ought to pay attention to things at Levi’s Stadium w/ 49ers & reconsider tearing down Georgia Dome. #curseofCandlestick

–

Atlanta goes through stadiums like Donald Trump goes through wives.

–

Sean Spicer & Donald Trump getting ready to welcome Jerry Jones & 2017 Super Bowl Champions Dallas Cowboys to White House #alternativefacts

–

Look forward to seeing #SFGiants raise latest World Series banner after bullpen performed magnificently in 2016 playoffs. #alternativefacts

 

#Colts have fired GM Ryan Grigson after 2 consecutive 8-8 seasons. #49ers fans wonder if Grigson was fired for over-achieving.

–

#SteveKerr learned a lot from Pop: “Sean Spicer will be talking about my Magic career. 14,000 points, greatest player in Magic history.’

–

Lebron posts video comparing Trump to Batman villain. Popovich & Kerr also rip President. Guessing @NBA champions White House visit has been canceled for 2017.

 

Roger Goodell going to try to hire Sean Spicer to explain how these 10 NFL 2017 playoff games so far have been most exciting & competitive ever.

–

A man was arrested for allegedly pulling a fire alarm in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ hotel early this morning. Wonder if he used to be a Patriots ball boy?

–

Wonder what the GOP reaction to #WomensMarch would have been if even 10% of those angry women were armed?

–

Waiting for first student to challenge a failing grade on a test by saying, I wasn’t wrong, I just presented #alternativefacts

–

Wanna get away? At approximately 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, January 21, United Airlines announced a ground stop for all domestic flights due to an IT issue. #IblameTrump

–

So which would be a better name for a band? #Alternativefacts or #PunchingNazis?

–

Kellyanne Conway just said flat out Donald Trump is “not going to release his tax returns.” So congrats to those who had Jan 22 in the pool.

–

from Ben “Mr. Trump said that though he had been “hit by a couple of drops” of rain as he began his address on Inauguration Day, the sky soon cleared. “And the truth is, it stopped immediately, and then became sunny,” he said. “And I walked off, and it poured after I left. It poured.”AND THEN……..he accused the press of missing the most important part – when he walked on water!

 

Beyond the #Alternativefacts  hashtag:   Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,” asked Kellyanne Conway why Spicer called the inaugural crowd “the largest in history”, and asked “why this ridiculous litigation of crowd size?”
She responded “Your job is not to call things ridiculous that are said by our press secretary and our president. That’s not your job.” And then.. “That’s why we feel compelled to go out and clear the air and put alternative facts out there.”

–

WikiLeaks is not happy. “Trump’s breach of promise over the release of his tax returns is even more gratuitous than Clinton concealing her Goldman Sachs transcripts.”
Gosh, if only they knew some hackers.

–

Presidential tweeting Sunday morning. “Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn’t these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly.”
-Then an hour later. “Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don’t always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views.”
Hmm, did someone on the White House staff “borrow” Trump’s phone while he was in the shower.

Pink is the new black?

January 21, 2017

Lee,Chang W. - from camera serial number

 

How can I be a Spurs fan in Northern California?   Here’s one big reason.

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2017/01/21/popovich-has-more-to-say-about-president-trump/

–

But the Spurs did play a pretty good “pre-season” game against the Cavs tonight.

 

–

Lebron James has indicated that Gregg Popovich coaching the 2020 Olympic team might get him to join. So guess Lebron wants to try the actual experience of being coached?

 

 

 

 

Curt Schilling on Twitter  “I want to hear one, just one woman from that march give one legitimate “right” she’s afraid of ‘losing”. So insanely stupid.”

Six words – put a bloody sock in it.

–

Headline “Trump begins Day 2 of Presidency with Prayers.” In this he is probably joined by many millions of Americans. #Godhelpus

–

Trump said yesterday’s inaugural crowd “looked like a million people.” Well, guessing he’s pretty used to overestimating size.

–

Trump  at the CIA “When I was young, we were always winning things in this country. We’d win with trade. We’d win with wars.”

Somehow missed hearing him add “We’d have won Vietnam, if I hadn’t had to get those deferments.”

–

Trump press secretary Sean Spicer said “we’re going to hold the press accountable,” and insisted “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, and the photos were “intentionally framed” to downplay the crowd.
#heseemsnice

–

#SpicerFacts So many people tried to get in to see the inaugural we had to build a wall around Washington DC. And Mexico paid for it.

another Spicer Fact?   People allegedly in #WomensMarch pictures were actually at inauguration instead. Media just photoshopped them in & added pink hats.

–

A Kremlin spokesman said that Vladimir Putin will call Donald Trump “soon” to congratulate him. Well, it will be nice for them to open lines of communication.Lee,Chang W. - from camera serial number

 

Meanwhile in Austin, an estimated 50,000 women marched.  Which reportedly was the largest gathering  ever in the state.  (Well,  not involving football.)

Somewhere Molly Ivins is smiling.

–

As impressive as #WomensMarch is, let’s hope we remember when we stop being focused on fighting Trump not to start fighting each other.

–

In the spirit of the Women’s March and an antidote to Inaugural Week, I highly recommend Hidden Figures. Seriously.

One America?

January 21, 2017

Not that America ever could unite easily on anything. But for a suggestion, could I suggest that after Trump’s inaugural that pitchers and catchers report early?

–

But yes, it won’t be TOO long until the jokes about rich white privilege can at least temporarily be focused on the Yankees.

–

I’m all for protests against our new @POTUS . But will these protesters remember to make as much of an effort for the 2020 election?

–

Obama’s last phone call as President was apparently to thank Angela Merkel,. Yes, Germany is last bastion of liberalism #whythereisnosatire

–

On a brighter note for moderates and liberals, Trump now has his own @realDonaldTrump AND @Potus twitter accounts. Maybe it will keep him busy enough to limit the damage?

 

 

So how many people woke up this morning with the hope of hearing at 12noon. “I was just kidding.”

 

Some complain that Trump’s speech was reminiscent of Batman villain Bane. How silly, it was much more Darth Vader.

–

It was a great Inauguration speech for all those who hate waiting between Olympics for all those USA USA USA!! chants.

–

 

“We are going to be protected by God”. Uh, if God was protecting us Trump probably wouldn’t be making this speech.

–

“For too long a small group of people in Washington have reaped the rewards”. But now I’m going to make sure my rich friends get their share

–

“Righteous people”. Code for “white men”.

–

Hate idea of #PresidentTrump as much as anyone. But anyone idiotic enough to protest by destroying property is playing into his rhetoric.

 

#AmericaFirst would be lot more believable if it not spouted from lips of man whose 2 out of 3 wives have been immigrants. #Inauguration

 

–

Yes, he’s comedy gold, but I’d have preferred to spend day struggling to think of a good inaugural ball pantsuit joke. #Inauguration

 

And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain… #InauguralBall

–

“Identity politics” is tossed around like “snowflakes” as a derogatory term these days. But I would venture that most people who do the tossing are people who don’t feel justifiably threatened and scared by the new administration.

–

From Marc Ragovin :” Wonderful inaugural speech by Trump. I hear the Russian judge gave it an 11.”

Voting and other consequences

January 19, 2017

Russell Westbrook left off as a starter for the NBA All-Star team?!. Ah for the days when inexplicable voting by Americans just impacted meaningless exhibition games.

–

Stanford has 11 players on rosters of the four teams left alive in this weekend’s NFL championship games.  The next closest school, Alabama, has 7.  #nerdnation

–

Trump has appointed Woody Johnson as his ambassador to Great Britain. So Johnson will do for America’s reputation in England what he’s done for the Jets?

–

Trump talking about huge crowds for inaugural concert .  Based on actual numbers even the Montreal Expos are giggling.

–

El Chapo has been extradited over to US. So will Trump name him Drug Czar?

 

Now GOP has set precedent hope Senate Dems feel justified not voting on any potential Supreme Court nominee. Only 1383 days to next election.

–

Trump doesn’t like PC, wonder why he didn’t ask the Stanford band to perform at inaugural – they could have played Yellow River.

–

So when Trump takes oath of office will he be saying “So help me, me.”?

–

Spokesman Sean Spicer says Trump’s incoming cabinet will have diversity. Yes, rich and richer.

–

Rumors are that Trump plans to privatize the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. So will PBS be replaced by “Trump TV?”

–

Rick Perry “After being briefed on so many of the vital functions of the Department of Energy, I regret recommending its elimination.”
Because, hey, don’t we all want to close things down when we have no idea what they do?

–

Donald and Melania Trump arrived at their inaugural concert to the music of the Rolling Stones’ “Heart of Stone.” #Truthinadvertising

–

Treasury secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin admitted in confirmation hearing today while he headed OneWest Bank, he now regrets kicking some people out of their homes. And one of the “”most troubling” of the foreclosures “was actually to the Octomom.”
At the Onion they are going, “that’s it, we quit. Can’t compete.”

–

Trump in a speech tonight, “Next time, four years from now, next time we’re going to win the old fashioned way.” As in without Russian help or by getting the most votes?

–

Nancy Sinatra, when asked how she felt about Trump using “My Way” for the first dance at his inaugural, responded, “Just remember the first line.” Three words “You go girl.”

(And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain…..)

Bash brother.

January 18, 2017

Jose Canseco, voice of reason ““It’s a great day for the hypocrisy of the #HallOfFame voting induct all that used Peds or induct none.”

–

With steroid era revisited Pudge Rodriguez follows Bud Selig into Hall of Fame, Bonds still excluded. WTF?  Can we blame Russian hackers?

–

Patriots fans on social media think the commissioner is ducking the Sunday game in Foxboro, And radio station WEEI says “not attending AFC championship may be Roger Goodell’s most embarrassing moment yet.
With all due respect, not attending the game probablyisn’t even going to be Goodell’s most embarrassing moment this week.

 

Yeah, we’re all special snowflakes out in California but did we have to go straight from a drought into becoming a soggier version of Seattle?

–

Last words from #ObamaPressconference were “Good Luck.” Wonder how tempted he was to add “You’re going to need it.”?

 

If #ChelseaManning said she was only leaking all that classified information on behalf of Russia would GOP be okay with her pardon?

–

Vladimir Putin defended Donald Trump against allegations he used Russian prostitutes, but added that “ours are the best in the world.” Okay, I’m appalled. Where’s the defense of American worker superiority from Trump on this one?

–

Despite rumors of him choosing a Latino, Trump has apparently picked ex-Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, 70, as Secretary of Agriculture. Because the President Elect just doesn’t have enough old white men in his cabinet.

–

#Livefromthe2017Inauguration only REALLY becomes a trending hashtag if we survive through day Trump first gets nuclear codes.

–

Martin Shkreli, downplaying Twitter suspension ““Twitter is actually pretty obsolete.” Ooh, potential Shkreli Trump war. #Passthelargepopcorn

–

TMZ reports Michael Flatley is going to dance at one of Trump’s inaugural balls. All together now – “Who?”

–

Julian Assange had promised to to “agree to US extradition” if “Obama grants Manning clemency.” Now his lawyer says “Mr. Assange welcomes the announcement that Ms. Manning’s sentence will be reduced and she will be released in May, but this is well short of what he sought. Mr. Assange had called for Chelsea Manning to receive clemency and be released immediately.”
As Maya Angelou said “when someone tells you who they are, believe them. The first time.” #snake

–

Remember those innocent days when we thought worst that could happen Friday was putting another Bush in the White House? #Inauguration

–

Some discussion and worry about what kind of redecorating Trump might do inside the White House. But he will probably be more focused on putting up neon “T.R.U.M.P” letters outside.

At last?

January 18, 2017

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports 49ers will offer their coaching job to Kyle Shanahan after the Falcons’ season has ended. So guess Kyle has to decide if he’s already had enough of playoff pressure.

–

Actually, Jed York DOES know it was Kyle’s dad Mike who won those Super Bowls, right?

 

 

Redskins owner owner Dan Snyder attended a gala pre-inaugural dinner in DC, along  with Trump, Pence, and Kellyanne Conway.  And of course he’s happy, with Trump moving into the White House, Snyder is longer most hated man in town.

–

Lebron James said that the Cavs and Warriors aren’t rivals, just “two great teams that have aspirations.” Draymond Green disagrees ”
“Yeah, I think this is a rivalry.” Well, at least it’s nice to have an argument make any sort of headlines these days that isn’t political.

 

In Colorado, a 24-year old Maserati salesman died this weekend in a single-car crash shortly after posting video of himself Facebook Live video of himself driving one of the cars at 111 mph.
Guess he’s the front-runner for 2017’s most expensive Darwin?

–

Headline “McDonald’s just made a major change to the Big Mac.” Ok, who but me thought saw this and thought – “They’re adding meat?

–

A DC hair stylist has gone public after Marla Maples asked her to waive her fees to do her & Tiffany’s hair for the inaugural in exchange for “exposure on social media.” Marla’s contact wrote the stylist that she is “messing with the president of the United States, as Maples’ child-support is ending now that Tiffany is 22, and “She is used to a certain lifestyle and you don’t understand that.”
Tragic, really.

–

Gloria Allred held a press conference this morning with a woman who has accused Trump of sexual assault. And the alleged victim will be filing a lawsuit against the President-Elect.
Yep, you definitely see why Ringling Bros is shutting down. They really can’t compete.

–

#TrumpHistoryLecture Lincoln, overrated. I’d have freed the slaves without a war. And I’d have never wasted time with a silly play.

–

In an interview this weekend, President-elect Trump said that NATO was “obsolete.” And we thought as tourists in Europe we’ve been “ugly Americans before….

–

Sen. Patty Murray today asked Secretary of Education nominee Betsy DeVos if she would commit to keeping funding for public schools intact.
Her response “I look forward, if confirmed, to talking about how we address the needs of all parents and all students.”
Although to be fair, based on 2016 election results, you could argue that U.S. public education isn’t working.

–

#BetsyDeVos‘s confirmation hearing performance didn’t do much to advance myth of superiority of a private school education.

–

Trump tweet today that “people are pouring into DC in record numbers.” Ah okay, so that’s why my travel agency computer shows all these hotel rooms available – some at normal reasonable prices.

The wrong choice?

January 17, 2017

So at this point it’s a tight battle for least-wanted gig in USA: performer at Trump inaugural or coach for 49ers.

–

The Warriors destroyed Cavs tonight in their latest NBA preseason game.

–

Apparently Las Vegas sports books really took a bath on this weekend’s NFL playoff games. And most Americans feel about as sorry for them as they do for the Cowboys.

–

When Cubs showed up at White House, Obama tells them “it took you long enough, I’ve only got 4 days left.” #IamgoingtomissthisPresident

 

ESPN reports that in November, two bettors placed a $300 bet on Green Bay and planned to roll their bet over as long as the team kept winning… through the Super Bowl. Their ticket is now worth over $28,000 and will be worth over $76,000 if the Packers beat the Falcons. They then would bet the money on Green Bay against the AFC champion. Guess they figure the $76k wouldn’t be quite enough for them to afford Super Bowl tickets.

–

Now scalpers are apparently losing money on Inaugural tickets that they can’t sell. So will Trump spin this as making it more affordable?

–

Had Martin Luther King Jr. survived he’d be only 88 years old. Would Trump have attacked him on Twitter as “talk talk talk no action”? #MLKDAY

–

Just deleted lots of emails about #MLKDAY sales Thinking when #MLK said “I have a dream” he maybe wasn’t thinking about shoes half off?

–

With plagiarism charges mounting Monica Crowley steps down from Trump adminstration post Maybe still room on Melania’s speechwriting team?

–

It’s #TheBachelor time again. Ah, those innocent days when watching Americans make bad choices just involved a soon-to-be broken engagement.

–

Now scalpers are apparently losing money on Inaugural tickets that they can’t sell. So will Trump spin this as making it more affordable?

–

Credit where credit is due: Trump on Fox & Friends in 2014 , ‘Russia’s our biggest problem.”

–

For all those who have been complaining that Donald Trump is spending the last few days that he could be preparing to be Commander in Chief doing stupid stuff like attacking SNL, the President-Elect is moving on…. Now he’s found another network to attack:

“@CNN, of all places, is doing a Special Report on my daughter, Ivanka. Considering it is CNN, can’t imagine it will be great!”

–

But seriously,  while Trump is threatening to put tariffs on companies who move jobs out of the country, what about penalties on companies who, to increase profits, insist on hiring most employees at under-full time hours without benefits? If he REALLY wanted to MAGA….

–

And another serious thought:  Yes, MLK and Selma and the “I have a dream” speech were half a century ago. But when an African-American man gets beaten in Evanson, IL for breaking into his OWN car, and when the Voting Rights Act is being gutted across the country, and when 13% of the American population is African-American, but they make up 35-37% of inmates, well it’s kind of a stretch to say we are in a post-racial society.

Lesser evils

January 15, 2017

Chicago Cubs going to White House Monday instead of usual WS champion mid-season visit. So, White Sox Obama fan vs Trump?. No contest.

–

There are no style points in field goal kicks. #Packers #MasonCrosby

–

Joe Buck  at one point today in today’s Green Bay Dallas game “and #Rodgers throws it away…. complete to Cobb.” Good to know Buck is as competent on football as he is on baseball.

 –

The deflater vs the rapist. In #AFCChampionship can we root for an ice storm? #PITvsNE

 

–

All these imperfect AFC playoff teams & games really painful to watch for @Raiders fans who must wonder w/ Derek Carr what might have been.

 

–

Meanwhile #SF49ers interviewing Tom Cable. Those @49ers fans who’ve been saying “Cheer up, it could be worse” might be about to be proved right.

–

–

SF 49ers are considering Tom Cable as head coach. Yep, the same Tom Cable who was fired by Al Davis over domestic violence allegations, after Cable had broken his assistant coach’s jaw with a punch. Five words “Winning with class my ass.”

–

If #DallasCowboys really are America’s team this is not a good omen for #Inauguration week.

–

ESPN reported Ezekiel Elliott has received follow-up questions about his domestic violence case from July, and he is “still in the process of responding.” So there will be no resolution before the Super Bowl. I am shocked, said nobody paying attention to the NFL.

(actually wonder now with the Green Bay win if the process will suddenly miraculously speed up so any possible suspension would be over sooner in 2017.)

 

A Vermont University study of 16,000 people over 23 years found that regularly eating hotl peppers found to reduce the chance of dying by 13%

I’m gonna live forever!

–

The latest celebrity to back out of  Trump Inaugural is Andrea Bocelli. Guess he could finally see that performing was a bad idea?   #bustohell

 

Trump says his Obamacare replacement plan is “all but finished.” He’ll unveil it just as soon as he defeats ISIS & releases his tax returns.

–

Donald Trump  canceled MLK holiday visit to African American History museum. Maybe he just realized the museum honored than just MLK?

–

Trump tweet early Sunday am  “@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!”
So good that the enormity of the oath he is about to take has Trump beginning to focus on the really important things:

–

Reince Priebus today stated of Walter Shaub, who has been criticizing Trump, that “the head of the government ethics ought to be careful, because that person is becoming extremely political.”

But maybe Shaub has ambitions of becoming director of the FBI?

 

 

–

 

From T.C.  “The field at Arrowhead Stadium looked good. Those rented Zambonis did a great job.”

Missed it by THAT much.

January 15, 2017

Six of the first eight NFL playoff games in the books.  .Only Green Bay-Dallas, and Pittsburgh-Kansas City left.

And here’s the real burning question –  will either game be the first this postseason to be decided by less than two touchdowns?

 

So after that performance will Jed York and 49ers try to make a trade for Brock Osweiler? #HOUvsNE

–

Love rooting for old men in professional sports. Don’t love that 34 years old is considered old. #DevinHester #SEAvsATL

–

San Antonio Spurs played in Mexico City tonight. With all the foreign players on the team and what Popovich has said about Trump, good thing we don’t have the wall yet. The President- Elect might not let them back in.

–

#RinglingBros circus to close after 146 years. Because they couldn’t possibly compete with the daily circus in Washington?

–

Thinking right about now USA really really misses Walter Cronkite.

–

American Apparel is closing all its stores. “Sad, but what’s American Apparel?” said everyone over 30.

–

R.I.P. Dick Gautier, 85 ,Hymie the Robot, in “Get Smart.” Right about now we could use someone like him against KAOS. “People hate, robots love.”

–

Trump’s latest Twitter barrage was to attack Rep. John Lewis, who said he wasn’t an legitimate president. He said Lewis was “all talk talk talk, no action.”
Have news for the soon to be Tweeter-in-chief. “Bloody Sunday” doesn’t refer to something involving Megyn Kelly.

–

Jennifer Holliday , who won a Tony for Dreamgirls, has backed out performing at the inaugural, and apologized to the LGBT community, saying she does not support the President-Elect. Standby for Trump tweeting that the Tony’s are overrated.

–

New reports are that Donald Trump allegedly invited Miss Hungary to his hotel room after attending the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Of course maybe this is shameless fake news attempt by Trump to curry favor with Bill Clinton.

–

Sen. James Inhofe defended Donald Trump’s comparison of leaking intelligence agencies to Nazi Germany. “Sure, those are his words. He has a sense of humor. Isn’t that strange?”

I think i liked “Springtime for Hitler.” better.

–

Donald Trump told the WSJ that he may lift Obama’s sanctions against Russia. And that he was open to meeting President Putin after he is inaugurated. Well, finally, some things where folks on both sides of the aisle believe him.

A long time out.

January 14, 2017

NBA commissioner Adam Silver says he wants to reduce length of games. “People, particularly millennials, have increasingly short attention spans. So it’s something, as a business, we need to pay attention to.”
The average NBA game is under 2 1/2 hours. MLB, NFL and college football fans are just giggling.

 

Adam Silver says @NBA wants to shorten length of games to keep fan interest. Wouldn’t it make more sense to shorten length of season?

 

–

 

Anyone but me thinking that Friday the 13th was a lot less scary this January than Friday the 20th?

–

 

–

If someone had come up with a screenplay based on US politics over last year it would be been rejected as scary but too absurd.

–

In December, Paul Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that ““it will clearly take time” to come up with an ACA replacement “It’s not going to be replaced come next football season.”
Next season? Thinking that repealing Obamacare is going to be a lot like the 49ers firing Jim Harbaugh

–

Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter will be back with the team, and on the sidelines in Kansas City for the playoff game this weekend. Charges against him, which include assaulting a police officer outside a Pittsburgh bar last Sunday, have been dropped.
Well, good to see some equality before the law, as in the same rights for coaches as players?

–

Bill Littlejohn, on the Chargers planning to play their first two seasons at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center in Carson: “Won’t they be embarrassed by all those empty seats.”

(of course 27,000 looks like a big crowd at the end of most of the 2016 season’s 49er games.)

 

If our Founding Fathers had only thought to say “a well-regulated militia with good healthcare” in the 2nd amendment….

–

Now the #WSJ is calling for FBI Direct James Comey to resign. Well, yeah, what do you expect from such a liberal newspaper

 

Paul Anka has pulled out of performing at Trump’s inaugural. Did he get a better offer from #DWTS?

–

A company called “Don’s Johns” provides many porta-potties in DC. During the inaugural Trump administration will have company’s name taped over, which is getting more publicity than maybe just leaving things alone. Well, good thing for them there is no guy named Golden with a portable shower company.

–

With Ivanka & Jared Kushner moving to DC so nice to remember that many didn’t vote for Hillary because they didn’t like dynasty politics.

–

As we debate Obamacare, do people really not realize that pre-existing conditions didn’t just keep poor people from getting insurance, they kept millions of people who COULD pay from getting insurance. Young, old and middle-aged. But I guess that doesn’t matter, especially to those in Congress who have benefits for life.

–

In a BBC interview, Nicole Kidman said about Trump ‘So I just say, he’s now elected, and we as a country need to support whoever is the president because that’s what the country’s based on. Whatever, however, that happened, he’s there, and let’s go. For me, I’m very, very committed to women’s issues.”
She has a point, and I hope Trump is better than many of us fear.
But it’s a lot easier to make that statement when you have dual Australian citizenship.

In need of a recharge?

January 13, 2017

The San Diego Chargers now are moving to Los Angeles. As if the city needs another NFL team not to care about.

–

Only person really happy about #Chargers move is Dan Snyder. Because Dean Spanos has just replaced him as most hated owner in NFL.

 

The Spurs tonight beat Lakers by 40. Last time that margin was March 1989, when LA beat San Antonio by 40.  1989.  Almost 30 years ago.  Was Tim Duncan off that night?

–

As more & more coaching and GM candidates sign with other teams is it time to change SF 49ers mascot to chopped liver?

–

Maybe Jed York is waiting to name himself @49ers coach?

–

Knicks have lost 9 of their last 10 games. It’s enough to make New Yorkers actually miss the Jets.

–

Amazon announced they will create 100,000 full-time jobs with benefits in the next year and a half in the US.
Of course, what Amazon didn’t announce is that their expansion will put about 200,000 retail brick-and-mortar employees out of work.

–

Small step of resistance – buy actual newspaper from time to time. This might be time when we need all free press we can get.

–

The SFPD says it will start apprehending “rule-breaking pedestrians and bicyclists as part of a Bike & Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Operation.”
This might be one of the few things done in San Francisco that could get bipartisan agreement. #darwinwannabes.

–

Senate last night made a preliminary vote against #Obamacare for pre-existing conditions, young adults on parents’ plans, & birth control. Let them eat cake while dying?

–

Apparently those folders that Trump pointed at yesterday when he indicated he was putting his sons in control of his business may have been full of blank paper.
Sigh, never thought I’d miss “binders full of women.”

–

We’re going to miss #JoeBiden too.

–

Earlier today Russia Today suddenly replaced the regular C-SPAN programming. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

 

In December, Paul Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that ““it will clearly take time” to come up with an ACA replacement “It’s not going to be replaced come next football season.”
Next season? Thinking that repealing Obamacare is going to be a lot like the 49ers firing Jim Harbaugh.

–

A new report this week shows 42% of California is now drought-free. Not all Californians know this yet, however, as they’ve been unable to read their soggy waterlogged newspapers..

–

Well, I guess targeted advertising has its limits – just got this email “Become a Trump Hotels Travel Specialist Today. ”

–

Here we go again. Full disclosure, I am a Cory Booker fan. But Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and already seeing Democrats washing their hands of Senator Booker because he voted against a prescription drug amendment. He says it’s because he and others were trying to get safety standards included and another amendment covering such standards fell through. We shall see. Early days. And not saying Cory is always right. Or perfect.

But come on folks, seriously. If Democrats refuse to consider supporting anyone who isn’t 100% pure by their standards, we are going to get Trump (or Pence) re-elected. #whenwillweeverlearn

Rolling over

January 11, 2017

Cavaliers put up as much a fight against Trailblazers tonight as media did today against President-Elect in Trump Press Conference.

–

So apparently the Chargers are planning to move to Los Angeles. Sad for San Diego. But LA’s best chance for serious post-season football will still be the USC Trojans.

 

 

#LAChargers haven’t even started playing yet and already on their way to giving #Cowboys run for their money as America’s most hated team.

–

Just before last year’s Fiesta Bowl, Ezekiel Elliott was cited for three misdemeanor traffic charges in Ohio including driving with a suspended license after his car hit another vehicle, resulting in minor injuries to one passenger. This after several speeding tickets. And today no one was injured after he apparently ran into another car near Dallas.
Thinking just maybe the Cowboys might want to invest in a car and driver?

–

Former SF Giants closer Santiago Casilla is apparently nearing a deal with the Oakland As. Good for him. At least he won’t have to deal with any postseason pressure.

–

Taco Bell this month is rolling out their fried chicken taco nationwide – the taco shell is made out of fried chicken, then it’s filled with lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and avocado ranch sauce.
So for all those fearing the end of the world, here’s one more option to decrease your chances of being around to see it.

–

Donald Trump on Twitter  today “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!”

He’s going to break his keyboard hitting the “CapsLock” so hard:

–

–

Hell is freezing over: “Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN’s report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards Neither they, nor any other journalists, should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States.”
Standing up for journalists in general? Or are the folks at Fox just worried that they will be the next as seen to be too liberal for Trump?

–

–

Unreal. From the sooner to be Tweeter-in-Chief : “Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to “leak” into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?
Right, because the worst thing about living Nazi Germany was being accused of cavorting with prostitutes. Not to mention that he is complaining about a story involving showers.
Even the bus to hell breaks down on this one.

–

Would be truly Machiavellian to come up and leak an over-the-top faked story that could be easily disproved, and use that as an excuse to discredit ALL the rest of the bad stories, many of which are actually true. But can’t imagine that a President and his team would stoop so low…… #goldenshowers #sarcasm

–

A BBC correspondent now says there are “multiple intelligence sources” alleging Russia has potentially embarrassing or compromising material on Trump.
Standby for tweets comparing the “over-rated” BBC to Buzzfeed in 3.2.1…..

 

That moment when you realize #MarcoRubio is now the conscience of the GOP?!!

–

He’s comedy gold every day, but I’d rather be struggling to write pantsuits jokes. #TrumpPressConference
