Trying to trade for #AlexSmith during State of the Union speech but then f*cking it up so that #Chiefs trade Smith to the #Redskins is so #Browns.

–

MLB is going to try putting runners on 2nd base at start of 11th inning during the All-Star Game. So are they trying to make the game as watchable as the Pro Bowl?

–

Hawaii fired the employee who triggered false ballistic missile alert, after he said he didn’t know it was a drill. He reportedly “had a history of confusing drill & real-world events.” So how long until he gets offered job at Fox or White House?

–

Blockbuster just closed its last Texas store. Shocking, Blockbuster still had ANY stores.

–

Former Mississippi Haley Barbour was caught w/ loaded handgun at airport security checkpoint today. When is TSA going to start profiling dangerous white men?

–

Getting bad when you see #NewportBeach trending & when you see awful story thinking “Oh, it’s “only” 3 dead in helicopter crash and not mass shooting.”

–

Wonder how many Americans will be hungover Wed. morning after playing drinking games during SOTU.

—

Trump talking about sparing parents pain. Can’t imagine losing a child. But guess what – parents hurt as much when children are killed by an American with a gun. #SOTU

(and as a friend pointed out, or when they are deported and separated from children.)

–

Has no one told @realDonaldTrump that “In God We Trust” doesn’t mean we all have to worship the same God. Or believe in one at all?

–

“Beautiful, clean, coal.” Nice triple oxymoron.

#WeChooseBoth has a nice ring to it for a 2018 and 2020 slogan.

–

So parents of murder victims killed by illegal immigrants get acknowledged at #SOTU. But if your child was killed by white man w/ a gun, well, “thoughts & prayers.”

–

Who had the more frozen poker-face tonight during State of the Union   #NancyPelosi or #Melania?

–

So wonder how much Trump is promising in an NDA to Melania?

–

Trump acknowledges heroism of Capitol Police without mentioning that Mike Pence would try gay conversion therapy on one of officers who saved Scalise’s life, and many in GOP don’t recognize her marriage. #SOTU

–

When did applauding yourself become Presidential? #SOTU

–

Americans before tonight. Not another member of a political dynasty.
Americans after tonight – humming Camelot
#JoeKennedy #SOTUResponse

Too soon to start a pool on what @realDonaldTrump’s insulting nickname for Joe Kennedy will be tomorrow?

USC has sold naming rights for Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to United Airlines for $69 million. So expect Trojan tickets to have a base price, a cushion fee, a stadium entrance fee, a concession fee….

–

And how much will the Trojans now charge for extra legroom aisle seats and being able to enter early?

–

Indians getting rid of #ChiefWahoo as “offensive.” So now most offensive thing on the field in baseball will probably be the decimated Marlins.

–

Damn Alex Reimer,  how dare he actually make me have to take Tom Brady’s side in anything?

(For unintiated, Reimer is the radio guy who made a snide comment today, “annoying little pissant” about Brady’s 5 year old daughter.)

–

Clippers have traded #BlakeGriffin to the Pistons. Well, at least Blake won’t have to worry for a while about playoff pressure.

–

Nikki Haley complaining on twitter ” I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.”

Apparently someone never listened to Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and more recently, Green Day and, Eminem….for starters.

Personally I’ve mostly respected Nikki Haley and don’t think she’s having an affair with @realDonaldTrump. But her little Grammy’s tantrum was worthy of him.

Trump to Piers Morgan “‘I think I’m very popular in your country.” Thereby causing millions of Brits to think ‘Well, NHS may not be great with mental healthcare, but it’s clearly better than the US

Now NY Times reports Melania was furious about supposed payoff to Stormy Daniels. Furious over the affair, or over $130,000 coming out of potential community property?

–

Now Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump had nothing to do with Andrew McCabe’s firing. I like “biggest inaugural crowd in history” better.

–

Does anyone doubt that if McCabe had responded “Absolutely I voted for you, Mr. President” that he’d be staying in office until his official retirement date?

–

So let me get this straight – Trump trusts Putin, but not our own FBI and Justice Department.

–

In July, 2017 Senate voted 98-2 to impose new sanction on Russia. Today, the last day possible, Trump administration again declined to impose them. Waiting for the GOP outrage on this one… #complicit
