“Who knew firing people could be so complicated?”

–

What if Trump REALLY misses his previous life & just plans on being more & more audacious until he is sent back to it?

–

Overstatement to say “f*cking miracle has occurred?” The SFGiants score 4, in the 9th, hang on and win the game 6-5.  First time they have won a game they trailed in the 9th since 2015.   Of course it was the Mets.  #dontgettooexcited?

–

Yeah, #ChristianArroyo really wasn’t ready to come up to MLB. Thank you @arroyo_c How soon can SFGiants get bobblehead ready?

–

Buster Posey has hit more home runs in 3 games at CitiField than he had hit all season. Is he trying to get traded to the #Mets? #SFGiants

–

Spicer hiding in White House hedges to avoid reporters on #ComeyFiring.  Is Trump trying to have Melissa McCarthy die of exhaustion? #WTF #SNL

–

So can we start a pool on who will be the next person @realDonaldTrump fires?

–

If Congress decides to appoint special prosecutor for Trump-Russia situation will the President next fire Congress? #comey #PreetBharara

–

If you doubt supporters think he can do no wrong, saw serious tweet praising Trump’s Comey firing, saying he should replace him as FBI director with Michael Flynn.  #WTF

–

Credit where credit is due. With way women reacting to @realDonaldTrump have to figure he’s great for wine sales. Huge!

–

If I were conspiracy theorist I might think possibily announcing an airline laptop ban in midst of  Comey uproar a good way to distract Americans with outrage.

–

What’s commotion about Russian media planting listening devices in Oval Office? Trump hasn’t already done it for BFF Vlad?

–

In Australian, a woman senator made history by being the first to breast-feed her baby during Parliament.  In the US, almost worth getting a young woman to run for Congress, just to see some GOP heads explode.

–

Personally I believe in free speech. But whoever thought #BetsyDeVos giving commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman was good idea? Flori-duh?

So how did #BetsyDeVos get asked to speak at Bethune Cookman? David Duke wasn’t available?

–

Jason Chaffetz wants the DOJ to look into Comey’s firing. Abundance of caution, or seeing drops of blood in the water? #Sharknado

There were young children still in the stands at Wrigley at 1a for the 18th inning of the Yankees Cubs game. Who says American parents have become soft?

–

Headlines on new French Pres.#Marcon being 39 & his wife 64. Funny, don’t remember election headlines on US Pres being 70 & his wife, 46.

–

So has Trump called Macron yet?

—

Who’s going to break bad news to @realDonaldTrump that Le Pen won’t be able to be bailed out by Electoral College? #frenchelection

–

Waiting for #SeanSpicer to talk about the great Le Pen victory in France today.

–

If the US can no longer be the most admired country in the world at least we can be a cautionary example?

–

Fans in #Nashville are shocked #Predators have made it to @NHL #WesternConferenceFinal The most common reaction “We have a hockey team?

–

So this is the year the @Cavs were supposed to be vulnerable in the Eastern Conference playoffs? @NBA

–

#Mets & #SFGiants play three games this week. Series should get really good ratings for fans of trainwrecks.

–

Right about now #SFGiants would let whole team each have a dozen sex toys in their lockers if they would just start playing better.

–

The latest from NY, Matt Harvey has been suspended for three days without pay for violating club rules. Who do the Mets think they are, the Knicks? #circusinsearchofatent

–

Headline “North Korea has detained a US citizen.” The real question, what is a US Citizen not named Dennis Rodman DOING in North Korea?

–

The lives of women in US killed either accidentally or deliberately by an illegal immigrant are now deemed so much more valuable by the GOP than those killed by lack of healthcare, random shootings, or domestic violence.

Sad. Really.  No joke.

–

Today Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a “sanctuary city” bill that will prevent cities from passing laws to stop police from questioning detainees’ immigration status. He cited the 2015 death of Kate Steinle, saying if the immigrant who shot her had been deported she would be alive today.
Fair enough, but where is Abbott’s sympathy for all those Americans fatally shot by people who were born right here in the U.S. of A.

Willie Mays’ birthday on the day day as the Kentucky Derby. Say hey, say neigh.

Congrats to Always Dreaming on winning the Kentucky Derby.  So here we go on the curve of “Almost zero interest in horse racing,” to “minor interest in horse racing until the Preakness” to  “zero interest until next year if he loses”  to major interest in horse racing if he wins until the Belmont.”

At this point #Warriors and #Cavs could coordinate plans for a brief tropical vacation before the @NBA finals.

–

Warriors fan celebration parties after tonight’s win against #Jazz show us what it might have been like for Lions fans against Christians.

–

KentuckyDerby -, fastest 2 minutes in sports. Entire race takes about as long as it takes #Dodgers Pedro Baez to throw a pitch.

–

Friday night, Ducks scored 3 goals on Oilers in last 4 min of NHL playoff game, then won in OT. Did Edmonton at least get sympathy call from Falcons?

–

Wonder what the record is for different left-fielders on the same team in a single season? Asking for a #SFGiants friend.

–

SF Giants hope to win last game of 3 game series in Cincinnati Sunday.  Or at least hold Reds to under two touchdowns.

If a horse looked as bad in #KentuckyDerby as #SFGiants look in Cincinnati there would be whispers of the glue factory

–

So think #StephenColbert really needs to get a Russian Orloff rooster and name him Holster.

–

A bill in the Texas legislature, would allow both private and STATE-FUNDED adoption agencies to reject Jewish, Muslim, gay, single, or interfaith couples for religious reasons.
Once again, four words “Pro life my ass.”

–

Ellen Degeneres won’t have Trump on show because “he’s against everything that I stand for.” Someone actually puts principles over ratings?

–

For all those who defend Trump & everything his family does, one question – would you be ok if it same thing with Obamas or Clintons?

–

Written on the eve of France’s elections, after a major Wikileaks exposure of purported Macron emails. Wouldn’t it be fun if the French decided to give Wikileaks a big middle finger and give Macron a bigger majority than predicted?

Now social media changes this, but France has a  44-hr legal media news blackout before elections.  So is some  Russian hacker getting fired or worse for not knowing.

San Antonio Spurs just won game 3 of best of 7 series on the road in Houston,  with a starting point guard,  Dejounte Murray, who isn’t old enough to order a   margarita on Cinco de Mayo. Somewhere in his hospital room Tony Parker is smiling.

–

Popovich tonight replaced injured 34 yr-old injured starting point guard w/ a 20 yr-old point guard. How can anyone say @Spurs are boring?

–

Re GOP members of Congress drinking margaritas to celebrate #CincoDeMayo For real Mexican experience can we handcuff them and demand to see proof of citizenship.

–

The GOP Congress is planning to introduce legislation to shrink presidential pensions, dollar for dollar, for any former President who collects more than $400,000 in income. Leaving aside the fact that they didn’t care what W. or Cheney made, sure hope they do the same for their OWN pensions.

–

LaVar Ball, asked about his $495 shoe price. “I figure that’s what the shoe is worth. When you are your own owner you can come up with any price you want.”
Right the same logic that means all those empty seats behind the Dodgers’ and Yankees’ dugouts.

–

Despite that long list of pre-existing conditions in new #Trumpcare bill, I notice GOP didn’t include hair loss nor erectile dysfunction.  I am sure it’s just a coincidence.

In airline staff training manuals, first page should now say in all caps “REMEMBER, EVERYONE HAS CELL PHONE VIDEOS NOW.”

North Korea is claiming there is a US ‘biochemical’ plot to kill Kim Jong Un. How silly, in American the best and the brightest scientists up to nefarious goals are busy working on undetectable PEDs. #Followthemoney

–

-.

FCC investigating #StephenColbert over using “cock” in a joke. Clearly next time Colbert should use genteel terms like “pussy grabber.”

And how long until Colbert borrows a London tube sign for Cockfosters.

–

Alaska State Rep. David Eastman, of Wasilla. on Medicaid covering abortions. “We have folks who try to get pregnant in this state so that they can get a free trip to the city, and we have folks who want to carry their baby past the point of being able to have an abortion in this state so that they can have a free trip to Seattle.”
#WTF is in the water in Wasilla? Seriously.
