Weighty matters?

January 16, 2018

Odds of Trump weighing 239 pounds are about the same as Pablo Sandoval’s never topping 239 pounds when he was with the SF Giants?

Stanford Cardinal hopes for a great  football season just improved immensely.

2018 slogan?  “Love, Actually. ”  #BryceLove

Bengals fans who hate the Steelers have been thanking Jaguars QB Blake Bortles by donating to his charity. Imagine how much Bortles can raise from Americans if Jacksonville can knock off Brady and Belichick.

Reports that police were called in Houston after the Clippers’ win when several players including James Harden and Chris Paul reportedly stormed LA locker room to confront Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers,
Apparently officers prevented anything from actually happening. But wonder if Rockets-Clippers next game has been moved to national television?#basketballbrawl

 

United 1219 from Denver to Kauai had to divert to San Francisco when the toilets became full, resulting in 8 hour delay. Talk about a shitty flight.

Reports that ICE is planning for a “major sweep” in Northern California cities to arrest and deport more than 1,500 undocumented people so that they can “send a message.” Just wondering, how many people is ICE going after from Asia or Europe including Russia?

#ReligiousFreedomDay for Trump just means that everyone should be free to worship him in their own way.

Turkey has issued travel warning for the US because of a “recent increase in terrorist and violent attacks,” as well as “arbitrary arrests” of Turkish citizens. Are we feeling great yet?

 

Patty Schachtner just won a  State Senate seat in Wisconsin in a district that Trump won 55 to 38 in 2016.   And it  was scheduled as a special election to depress turnout.

So a reminder,  we don’t need to convince EVERYONE that voted for Trump they were wrong. Just enough for a majority.

 

I know geography not Trump administration priority. But still, how does someone with the name Kirstjen not know anything about a Scandinavian country?

 

“When ignorance and bigotry is allied with power, it’s a dangerous force in our country. Your silence and your amnesia is complicity,”  Cory Booker to Kirstjen Nielsen #Booker2020

 

 

 

 

 

Not over it.

A picture is worth a thousand four-letter words?

In retrospect when #Saints were down 17 to 0 maybe I shouldn’t have said “Well, at least they won’t break my heart today.” #WhoDat

 

Really sucked to be Saints or Steelers fan this weekend. But at least New Orleans didn’t discover today they were also losing one of city’s best & favorite players #McCutchen

QB K.J. Carta-Samuels to transfer from Washington to UCLA. Since he is a “graduate transfer” he can play immediately. Of course no one has any idea what he is supposedly transferring to study.

Chicago Tribune trolling a certain locale, and a certain QB.    Racing driver and Bears fan Danica Patrick confirms she’s dating Bachelorette winner’s brother

Does it make you an elitist when you can’t take trolls seriously who can’t tell difference between “your” and “you’re”?

Jeff Flake has become a regular Trump critic. But until Flake actually votes against President he might as well just be mumbling “thoughts and prayers.”

 

Thinking only time Trump would actually use word “shithouse” would be in reference to woman he wanted to grab. And it would have been prefaced with “brick.”

“Dicky” Durbin? So good to see that #Melania‘s anti-bullying campaign is going so well.

Does anyone doubt if #MartinLutherKing were alive today, his 89th birthday, that @realDonaldTrump would be insulting him with a petty nickname?

Unlike most Presidents in recent memory, Trump didn’t volunteer on the MLK holiday today, but played golf. But to be fair, maybe Trump tipped an African American  waiter or attendant an extra few dollars at his resort?
