When you gotta go…

February 24, 2017
All this panic over transgenders and bathrooms is completely lost on any woman who ever looked at the line and said “F*ck it, I’m using the men’s room.”

Muhammad Ali Jr. apparently was profiled & detained at Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Clearly his father should have named him Frederick Douglass.

There is no day that can’t be improved by hearing Jon Miller on the radio. #SpringTraining @SFGiants

So while we’re trying to shorten MLB games by a few minutes, what about eliminating “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch EVERY single Sunday . Even God has to be thinking, “Enough already, play ball.”

 

 

A Chicago sports anchor was suspended for saying that President Trump is a “cartoon lunatic.” Did he offend cartoons or lunatics?

J.C.Penney is closing 110 stores. Shocking. J.C. Penney still has stores?

Orioles Team VP John Angelos says he doesn’t want Trump to throw out the first pitch unless the President apologizes first
“You don’t say those things about women, you don’t say those things about different ethnic groups, different national origins, people who are disabled, all of that — and if you do say them, you’re a big enough person to withdraw them and apologize,”
Standby for “the Orioles are losers” tweets in 3.2.1….

Now Orioles made it clear Trump isn’t really welcome would someone like to ask Nats manager Dusty Baker what he thinks of the President?

Trump is calling @CNN the “Clinton News Network.” I thought it was just losers who weren’t supposed to be able to get over an election.

If Trump banning news outlets from press conferences can #AlecBaldwin do alternative press conferences as replacements?

Trump says the media “are the enemy of the people because they have no sources. They just make them up when there are none.”
Right, then he excludes them from the press briefing so they HAVE no direct source.

Trump – “I love the First Amendment. Nobody loves it better than me.” Is he trying to prove you always hurt the one you love?

Can’t wait to see @SNL skits on Trump press gaggle. What, no new show again this week? Can we start an emergency petition?

Trump whining at #CPAC that “Paris is no longer Paris.” France and rest of Europe – “The USA is no longer the USA.”

 

So much worry over bathrooms.  Becky Hammon has been in Spurs locker room since 2014; it doesn’t appear to have gone too badly.

Good to see GOP legislators focusing on what’s really important: (UPI) — An Arkansas state senator introduced a bill calling for the renaming of Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.

 

Right about now..

February 24, 2017

Right about now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be wishing  Jameis Winston had stuck to shoplifting crab legs.

Jameis Winston was speaking to elementary age children when he talked about boys being “strong.”  “But the ladies, they’re supposed to be silent, polite, gentle..”

 

#JameisWinston says he made “a poor word choice.” No, using F-bomb with 3rd graders is a “poor word choice.”  You’re just a sexist a**hole.

 

So all of these  CPAC homophobes are really more comfortable with Caitlyn Jenner & her friends joining them in the men’s room?

Just got a “pre-sale” offer for #ChrisBrown “The Party Tour.” Shouldn’t tour be titled “And the hits just keep on coming?” #bustohell

Steve Bannon at CPAC said the media is “dead wrong” in their portrayal of Trump. More like he wishes they were both.

Trump says the  US has ‘fallen behind on nuclear weapon capacity.’ Right, like billionaires have fallen behind with the economic recovery.

Sean Spicer talked today about the “opioid addiction crisis” and added “There is still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and drugs of that nature. I do believe you will see greater enforcement of it,”
Opioids are in the same category as marijuana? What has HE been smoking?

 

Ah Caitlyn,  you didn’t notice those orange fingers behind her back?  Jenner’s Tweet on Thursday.

“Well @realDonaldTrump, from one Republican to another, this is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me. ”
John Boehner now says the GOP is “going to fix Obamacare – I shouldn’t call it repeal-and-replace, because it’s not going to happen. Most of the framework of the Affordable Care Act that’s going to be there.”
Never thought I’d even (slightly) miss Boehner.

 

Rioting in Arizona is defined now as “Two or more people using or threatening force or violence in a way that disturbs the peace.”
A new Senate bill would expand the definition to include property damage, and allow the prosecution of protest organizers if someone riots during the protest. Or if prosecutors claim they fear rioting, they could arrest people just for planning an event.
Of course, we’ve never had out of control law enforcement in Arizona.

So at the same time the GOP is trying to gut the ACA and talk about “personal responsibility” they are getting rid of nutrition requirements for school lunches. Yeah, because 7 year olds need to make smart life choices. #SMH

Kellyanne Conway is back, slamming feminists. (“Anti-male, pro-abortion.”) And saying “this whole sisterhood, this whole ‘let’s go march for women’s rights” has a “presumptive negativity about women in power.”
Uh, Kellyanne, most of these feminists you are talking about voted for a woman to have the power of the Presidency…

Just a final US  thought. Apparently Betsy Devos – gasp – wanted to do the right thing for trans kids with school bathroom regulations, but was told to keep quiet and stand down by men in the Trump administration.
So maybe Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris should take Devos for a girl’s night out and a little “I am woman” pep talk… Who knows what other seditious thoughts they might sow?
