If Trump wants to prove science is #FakeNews he could help convince skeptics by just spending a few minutes looking at the eclipse.

–

With today’s loss, #SFGiants were officially eliminated in the NL West.

–

MLB Umps wore white wristbands as a protest to perceived increased verbal abuse by players. They couldn’t find another color? #Tonedeaf

Anyone else see the #NOvsLAC hashtag and thinking “Wait, preseason Pelicans Clippers already?

All these tweets about #MLBLittleLeagueClassic – wasn’t that the SF Giants Phillies series this weekend?

–

Olympian medalist  Aly Raisman blasts USA Gymnastics for ignoring and not stopping a sex abuser doctor.   Who did they think they were, the Catholic Church?

–

Powerball jackpot will grow to about $650 million. Alas of the millions who expect to win it and retire, many of them can vote.

–

Breitbart political editor Matthew Boyle on Bannon’s return “We’ve been a pirate ship without a captain for a year.”
Americans are going, “Big deal, we’ve had the ship of state without a captain for almost 8 months.”

–

Trump response to #USSJohnSMcCain collision & missing soldiers “That’s too bad.” Wonder how he’d response if Mar-A-Lago caught fire.

–

Jerry Falwell Jr. defended Trump saying “very fine people on both sides, saying the President had “inside information.” So who called him with the information, David Duke?

–

RIP Jerry Lewis. Will they put flags at half-staff in France?

–

One of toughest things about living with Trump in White House is difficulty of telling what posts are real & which are the Onion.

–

Some Oceanaire restaurants in various locations, owned by Landry’s, have been putting a 3% surcharge on bills to cover increases in mandatory minimum wages.   Wonder how much the surcharges would be if they isolated how much it costs to pay executive salaries?

Remember when some of us thought a Trump vacation might mean he’d just spend all his time on the golf course and give the country a break?

–

Everyone worried about Trump’s base not abandoning him: remember as he says, don’t need a popular majority, electoral votes are enough.

SF Giants gave up 7 runs to the Phillies in the 6th, lost 12 to 9, and still weren’t the Bay Area team who had the ugliest night.

(49ers lost 33-14 to Broncos. And it wasn’t that close.   But heck, no player this week ended up on a police blotter..)

–

At least  SF Giants didn’t sell part of their collective soul to sign Aroldis Chapman in the offseason. #smallmercies

–

Dozens of NYPD cops staged a show of support today for Colin Kaepernick in Brooklyn. Of course, if any of them are Jets fans,  signing even a mediocre QB is looking pretty good right now.

–

The National Museum of African American History & Culture will be adding a Colin Kaperinick jersey and other items to their collection. Well, for football fans in Washington, DC it will give them an actual place to go to see an NFL jersey during the post season.

–

Police say an intoxicated woman started cursing at a man fishing in a lake,  bit into his fishing line and swam off with his lure.  You guessed it, Florida.

–

Trump and others seem unclear on the concept: You can be anti-hate, and anti-racism, and still support police. #LoveTrumpsHate

–

So as a new week begins, wonder how many people playing the Trump firing game are one square away from “BINGO?”

–

Why is Gorka still in White House? Well, Trump has to ration firings/resignations one at a time. Only has so many bright shiny distracting objects.

And so now we’re back to tweeting about Crooked Hillary Clinton. Sorest winner ever? @realDonaldTrump
