Taking off?

May 23, 2017

 

Presume someone has warned @Cavs assuming they play @Warriors again they will have to show up more than 1 or 2 of 4 quarters? #NBAplayoffs

–

NFL says they’re relaxing their player celebration rules. #SF49ers are asking “what are celebrations?”

–

Nike just re-signed Odell Beckham Jr. to a shoe contract reportedly worth about $5 million a year. Waiting for the Laval Ball OBJ diss in 3.2.1…

–

Top Gun 2, the sequel,  has been confirmed.  Now Maverick will be riding into the danger zone with his left blinker on.

–

And this time Maverick’s biggest need will be speedy trips to the bathroom.

–

More details on the man who was subdued on an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii after trying to break into the cockpit,.  He apparently bought a one-way ticket late at night with no luggage, smelled of alcohol, had his boarding pass confiscated by police after he opened a restricted door, etc….. and still got on the plane. In related news, TSA at LAX confiscated no doubt at least a hundred bottles of water.

–

And in related news your “Do we feel safe yet?” moment for today. Client has a nice clear plastic reusable sports water bottle. Forgets to pour all the water out and TSA finds it at Newark. He apologizes and offers to dump it out. Nope. The choice is have the bottle confiscated, OR go back out to end of long line, empty the bottle outside of security and go back through again. #securitytheater

–

 

Five  passengers sustained minor injuries while evacuating SF-bound United flight on the tarmac Newark Airport tonight due to engine fire. But the flight, presumably with a new plane,  eventually did take off,   And at least, United didn’t charge a entertainment/slide fee.

–

RIP #RogerMoore. Saddest thing for many Americans is realizing someone they remember as James Bond was 89 years old.

 

Melania Trump displaying great hand-eye coordination swatting away her husband’s hand, again. If she hadn’t modeled maybe a WNBA career?

–

Doesn’t this sound like a teenager’s note home to his parents? “Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Middle East were great. Trying hard for PEACE. Doing well. Heading to Vatican & Pope, then #G7 and #NATO.”

 

An unnamed “senior administrative official” said “Donald Trump united the entire Muslim world in a way that it really hasn’t been in many years.” #WTF?   Was it Jared or Ivanka?

–

Former CIA Director John Brennan – Russia “brazenly” interfered in the US election, “actively” contacted some on the Trump campaign, and “I saw interaction that in my mind raised questions of whether it was collusion…” So think President’s staff is trying to get him to delay #FakeCIA tweets until after his foreign trip?

 

Suspect in #ManchesterBombing was British-born. Not sure what the answer is, but it’s not walls.

First, reality.

Killing children sucks. That is all. #manchester

–

But back to jokes etc, not because they are more important. But because if we stop laughing, the bad guys win.

–

Kevin Durant after Warriors ‘ game 3 win against Spurs. “If you don’t like it don’t watch it.” Well that should have done wonders for tonight’s ratings.

–

A small test for anyone who claims they are a Predators fan: name one player on the team.

Of course, many might read this and go “Who are the Predators?”

–

Enes Kanter, whose passport was canceled for criticizing Turkish Pres. Erdogan, wants to become an US citizen. Paging Gregg Popovich #Spurs

–

Story broke yesterday that Khloe Kardashian is trying to convince Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson to marry her. And the Cavs lost their first game of the playoffs. Coincidence?

–

#SCOTUS ruled 5-3 NC districts were illegally gerrymandered for race. Clarence Thomas voted w/ majority. Forecast for hell tonight- snow.

–

WH says Trump only used phrase “Islamic extremism” because he was “exhausted.” So can someone put nuclear codes away when he needs a nap?

–

 

Late night on West Coast – time to start a pool on just what Donald Trump will say tomorrow where he tweeted exact opposite last year?

–

USA Today reports Homeland Security said “More than 600,000 foreign travelers who legally entered the United States in 2016 overstayed their visas and remained in the country at the end of the year.
“Visa overstays” make up an estimated FORTY PERCENT of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US.
So we’re going to build a wall on runways too?

–

MSNBC has now leapfrogged both CNN & Fox in the ratings. So there’s one American company Trump has made great again.

–

Infowars (Alex Jones) touting new WH Press Credentials with statement – “Alternative media has establishment running scared.” Alternative media? Didn’t they mean alternative facts?

–

Media carefully didn’t say country in Russian intelligence story. Trump “I never mentioned #Israel.” Pres would be really bad at Password.

–

Press release on Trump’s goals in Mideast -“Promote the possibility of lasting peach.” Make America Grape Again?

–

Trump to Israel’s President after his flight from Riyadh “We just got back from Middle East.” Not sure Trump’s college major, but guessing not geography.

–

A Fox News columnist is outraged that California Democratic Party chair John Burton led delegates in a brief chant of “F*ck Trump.” Now, we can argue about whether Burton’s language was appropriate or not. But where was the Fox outrage over chants of “Lock her Up” or memes/signs suggesting physical violence to Hillary Clinton?

 

Large sinkhole has formed in front of Mar-a-Lago. Well, that’s one potential way to get rid of the Michael Flynn problem.
