Lebron who?

September 14, 2017

Would say, who knew a Cleveland team could be lovable. But guessing most Americans couldn’t name more than one or two Indian players.

So wait… tonight Houston-Cincinnati final 13-9, Chicago-NY final 14-6. Now which game was MLB & which Thursday Night NFL  football?

 

Initial NFL week 2 report: Colin Kaepernick is still not an NFL QB. But  Andy Dalton doesn’t appear to be one either.

Kids today probably would have a hard time believing the movie Major League  was supposed to be about the woeful Cleveland Indians.

So how’s that Mark Zuckerberg 2020 Presidential exploratory campaign doing?

Equifax knew about security flaw for 2 months & did nothing. Like discovering your front door lock doesn’t work, but what could go wrong?

Motel 6  announced employees will no longer work w/ ICE. Wonder how many other chains are quietly telling employees the same thing.

Ted Cruz “Consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want in their bedrooms.” If they’re heterosexual & don’t use birth control.

Ted Cruz promised his Twitter account would never “like” porn again. So that means a staffer showed him how to set up an alias account?

Both Dems & GOP at times talking about relations w/ Trump seem like women in abusive relationships – “he really loves me, he’s changing.”

Reportedly #DACADeal struck with no wall. Now “no deal” & “wall will continue to be built.” Congrats to those who had “less than 12 hrs” in pool.

Quote of the day – “You look at really what’s happened since Charlottesville, a lot of people are saying and people have actually written, ‘Gee, Trump might have a point.”
Because @realDonaldTrump is NEVER, EVER wrong.

Think I’ve got it: Steven Mnuchin & wife Louise Linton brought into Trump Adminstration to make Ivanka & Jared look grounded by comparison.

Wasn’t an Al Gore fan, but don’t recall demands after the 2000 election that he say “Completely my fault I lost.”   Nader & chads and Florida had nothing to do with it. #WhatHappened

Trump says he couldn’t reach Pres. of Mexico by phone for condolences. Should Mexico respond by saying “check for the wall is in the mail?

 

But really, President Trump,  if you couldn’t reach Mexico by phone w/ earthquake condolences,  have you heard of something called Twitter?

My friend Mark Silverman points out that Bob Nightingale, in USA Today, calls attention to the fact that the Indians during their winning streak have won as many games as the Browns since Nov  2011!

Since the Cleveland Indians are never going to lose again, guess baseball fans can make plans without worrying about watching games 5-6-7 in 2017 World Series?

Oakland As have  announced that 4/17/18 home game will have free admission for all fans.  Of course, pay toilet entrance fees will start at $10.

#SFGiants secret motto for 2017 – “Hold my beer.”

(but hey, , I always wanted to know what watching the 1962 Mets was like. #SFGiants)

Danica Patrick is looking for “competitive ride with a team that believes in her.” Given her record, isn’t that kind of an oxymoron? #NASCAR

Texans LB Brian Cushing suspended for PEDRs, this time 10 games because it’s his 2nd offense.
Okay, maybe once you don’t know, or think you can get away with a certain substance. Twice? This isn’t just a PED suspension, it’s a stupidity suspension.

Who says there’s no good news these days? Martin Shkreli’s bail has been revoked and he’s going to jail.

Reports are that Motel 6’s in Arizona are calling ICE on guests they suspect to be undocumented. Who knew that light they were leaving on was to help illuminate white hoods?

 

How long until #JoeArpaio signs a contract to replace Tom Bodett as spokesman for #Motel6?

Los Angeles getting 2028 Olympics. Angelinos hearing this news while stuck in traffic can only hope by 2028 we all have self-driving cars.

Jimmy Carter’s advice to Trump – ‘Keep the peace, promote human rights and tell the truth.” Carnac Trump response “Name 3 signs of hell freezing over?

White House says ESPN anchor Jemele Hill, who called Trump a white supremacist on Twitter, should be fired. Now I REALLY want some NFL to sign Kaepernick. #passthepopcorn

 –
Would the White House please clarify why #FoxAndFriends can attack presidents,  ex-presidents, senators, etc , but an ESPN anchor can’t attack Trump on her personal Twitter account?
So if being on TV and making disparaging comments about a President on Twitter is a “fireable offense” I sure wish someone had told the producers of  “the Apprentice.”

After midnight on the east coast. Wonder how many GOP politicians are being very careful about not liking what they search for on Twitter?

 

Trump is pushing a tax plan that hasn’t even been written yet. Well, following the Obamacare mess at least he’s consistent.

 –
Would be ironic if Trump’s single-minded obsession to erase all of Obama’s legacy including Obamacare is what finally leads to single-payer.
Trump supposedly made bipartisan DACA/border security deal tonight.   So we all know what he’s Tweeting about….another attack on Hillary. #WTF?
Since we’re not supposed to talk climate change after a hurricane, guess we can’t talk gun control after another school shooting? #Spokane
