Pink is the new black?

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

–

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.

#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.”
