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?

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.
