Stephen Curry apparently injured his ankle again in practice.   But given that it’s January he should be recovered before the NBA pre-season ends in April?

–

ESPN “Are the Thunder or Wolves a bigger threat to the Warriors?” So when did Spurs become chopped liver?

(or for that matter Rockets.)

–

UCF fans did a digital billboard asking Alabama to play the Golden Knights during the regular season.  And give up worthy foes like Colorado State and Mercer?

–

50 evacuated and some minor injuries when an apparently overheated iPhone battery started emitting smoke in a Zurich store. Talk about a baked Apple.

–

So were ICE raids on 7-Eleven just another way of going after states that have legalized marijuana? #Doritos.

–

Because of course everyone knows that Americans for years have been denied the chance to work at 7-Eleven. #Cruelpettystupid

–

Diet Coke is changing its look and its marketing due to slumping sales. Maybe bigger problem is that watching Trump is making America think the beverage causes dementia.

–

If ICE “really’ wanted to make a statement about no one being above the law, think they would consider massive unannounced raids at Trump properties?

–

An innocent man would be happy to talk to the FBI to set the record straight.

–

So Mexico is paying for wall, but US budget needs $18 billion for it.. Another of those time-share deals with “modest” annual fees?

–

With earthquake of the shore of Honduras plus tsunami warnings, I guess humming “The Morning After” on a cruise ship would be a bad idea. #Bustohell

–

Some say @SenFeinstein too old to run again for Senate. But besides fact women live longer than men, some advantages in having no more f*cks to give.#FusionGPS

–

“Sneaky Dianne Feinstein.” Couldn’t Trump have just called her a “Sneaky Woman?” That would look better on a best-selling t-shirt.

–

Now Trump is taking on Senator Dianne Feinstein. Pass the popcorn. Sorry Donny, you aren’t in her league.

–

Dianne Feinstein NEVER said there was no collusion. Lies, Damn Lies and Trumpisms.

On the other hand, “Sneaky Dianne” sounds like a good message for Senator Feinstein’s re-election t-shirts.

–

Horrible mudslides & death toll at 15 in California. Good to see @realDonaldTrump trying to be Presidential at least with “thoughts and prayers.” Wait, never mind.

Gov. Rick Scott has just declared UCF college football champions. Hmm. When Florida gets a Democratic governor after 2018 elections can he/she just declare Hillary electoral college winner in state?

Agriculture Sec. Sonny Perdue introducing Trump at Farm Bureau “It’s okay to say, once again, Merry Christmas.” But it’s January. So is it also okay to say “Happy MLK Day?”

#Oprah would be a much better reality TV star President than #Trump, but doesn’t mean she is anywhere close to best candidate in 2020.

–

Guess I was wrong, I thought respecting the National Anthem meant learning all the words. @realDonaldTrump

With that miracle win last night it’s almost as if God said He/She approves of Alabama electing a Democrat. #RollTide #NationalChampionship

–

ESPN already has projected top 25 in college football for 2018. Don’t they want to see what players stay academically eligible first?

–

Trump has a point on chain migration. If we didn’t have dangerous people following their parents we wouldn’t have Jared and Ivanka in White House.’

Mitt Romney apparently was treated successfully for prostate cancer this past summer. Thinking at this point would rather have GOP senator with cancer, than one who IS a cancer.

–

Trump has a point on chain migration. If we didn’t have dangerous people following their parents we wouldn’t have Jared and Ivanka in White House.

Now it’s #TrumpTower on fire. Wonder which former Trump employee was popping too much popcorn?

–

When Mueller gets done restoring voting rights for felons may actually become a GOP priority. Because many Republicans will need that ever to vote again.

–

As much fun as it is to think about 2020 presidential election, thinking we Democrats first need to win races in 2018 to make sure we HAVE 2020 presidential election.

–

Steve Bannon fired from Breitbart. Wonder how many rocks they will have to overturn before a possible replacement slithers out?

From  @NFLResearch after first half of NFC Wild Card game –  “Drew Brees’ 151.4 passer rating is the highest by any player in the first half of a playoff game (min. 10 attempts) since @kurt13warner in the 2008 NFC Championship (156.0 passer rating against Eagles) @Saints”

–

Spurs lose by 1 to Portland on the road with Kawhi, Parker etc, out  Manu Ginobili is the first player in his 40s to score 15+ points in back-to-back games since Michael Jordan in 2002-03.  If only San Antonio had a bit more maturity.

–

#Bills vs #Jaguars today in 1st NFL Wild Card Game. “I’ll take two teams that most Americans haven’t seen on TV this year for $400, Alex.”

–

If Colin Kaepernick goes ahead with his collusion trial he can put game tape of #Bills #Jaguars today as exhibit one. #NFLPlayoffs

Pretty clear we elected the wrong television star as President. #Oprah

–

But really, to be a #stablegenius don’t you have to win at least one Kentucky Derby?

-my sister suggests “Oh, that’s how he meant it. It makes so much more sense now. As horse’s asses go, he probably can be considered a genius.”

–

GOP governors in Florida & NH came out against offshore oil drilling plan. Waiting to see how Trump revises it only to drill off coasts of blue states.

–

As part of @realDonaldTrump’s am tweet storm – “Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!” So he’s admitting to having Alzheimer’s?

If Trump really wants to prove he’s a self-made billionaire (except for that little $1 million loan from his father) maybe he should release his tax returns?

–

So if  Fire and Fury  is all lies, why is Trump so furious about what  Steve Bannon  reportedly said?

Jake Tapper on CNN called Stephen Miller “obsequious”  and told him to “stop wasting his viewers’ time.  After the interview Tapper then said “Welcome back to planet Earth.” Will those be the first words we hear when Trump leaves the White House? ”

–

So who got to be the one who explained that “obsequious” meant to the #stablegenius today? #Trump #StephenMiller

Women aren’t surprised that @realDonaldTrump would get confused using the word “consensual.”

Two questions as Raiders prepare to announce Jon Gruden as new head coach next week. 1. How long a contract. 2. How long before he gets fired?

Louisville QB Lamar Jackson is leaving early for NFL draft. Since ESPN rates him 7th best QB prospect guess he feels safe from being drafted by Browns.

–

As media reports on possible Patriots dissension over trading Garopollo perhaps worth remembering not that long ago SF 49ers thought Kaepernick was their franchise QB.

–

American Airlines flight from JFK to Cancun this morning had to turn around & land back at airport after reports that someone “mistakenly thought they saw an engine on fire.”
Thereby putting a planeload of people on their way to the beach back in #bombcyclone.
Guessing the culprit has a great future in Southwest commercials
#Wannagetaway

–

So who needs labor laws and regulations? Another American Airlines flight delayed an hour because low-paid subcontracted caterers who aren’t airline employees accidentally broken an exit sign in back of plane.

–

NY Times says Mueller has handwritten notes from Mr. Trump’s former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, about pressuring Comey. Can’t wait to see the nickname Trump comes up with for Preibus.

–

There were 2.06 million jobs created in 2017. There were 2.24 million created in 2016. . No one should spread his around as it will upset Trump.

–

US has warned people not to eat romaine lettuce after E. coli outbreak. How many kids telling their parents better to be safe and just skip salads.

So when can we expect tweet from @realDonaldTrump saying even his storms are biglier and better than Obama’s?

–

Most media outlets. “Is Trump Sane?” Fox News. “Is it time to impeach Hillary Clinton?”

–

So which genius in administration thought best way to deal w/ rumors of Trump dementia was having him appear on video tape at White House press conference?

Would Trump like to explain why he chose “Sloppy Steve Bannon” for one of most sensitive positions in White House – National Security Council?

As #FireAndFury breaks sales and library waitlist records, who’d a thunk @realDonaldTrump would be the greatest President for promoting reading ever?

–

So how long until Trump drops lawsuit on #FireAndFury and files another lawsuit demanding a cut of royalties?

–

Ah, who are we kidding…?

UCLA and USC QBs Josh Rosen & Sam Darnold both declare they are leaving college early for NFL draft. Meaning other Pac 12 teams have improved chances next year of being beaten in better bowls.

–

Of course the real question is which QB will be picked #1. And then maybe wish he had stayed with at least a semi-pro college team instead of the Browns.

–

–

New Marlins owner Derek Jeter expects team to be profitable this season. Will revenue include that playoff share Jeter will be voted by the Yankees?

–

Quote the Bengals to Ravens’ playoff hopes -. “Nevermore”

–

NFL teams that started 0-2 in 2017: Jets, Bengals, Browns, Colts, Chargers, Bears, Saints, Giants & 49ers. ONE of them is in playoffs.

–

And Drew Brees, 38, just set record for highest completion percentage by an NFL QB in a single season.  Imagine how good he’ll be with a little more maturity.

–

Who says Wikipedia is always right? “The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio.”
“Professional?”

–

As we all wake up tomorrow  can we hope that on New Year’s Eve  Trump staffers and friends all got  as drunk and chatty as Papadopoulos at that London bar?

–

And for those of us who are slow to adapt to change, maybe easier to change 2016 to 2018 rather than 2017 on our checks.

–

But open note to anyone who said that after 2016, 2017 couldn’t be worse. Don’t make the same dare about 2018.

–

On other hand, we’re finally done with 2017 emails pleading for last-minute donations. To be followed shortly by “Start 2018 off right by donating” emails.

Is it wrong to hope anti-vaccine advocate Jenny McCarthy, who co-hosted  #NewYearsRockinEve, ends up a  w/ bad case of flu after not getting a shot? Asking for a science-believing country.

Kind of comforting to know @BarackObama was in Hawaii tonight watching to see if rest of USA somehow made it safely to 2018.

–

2nd coldest New Year’s Eve in New York ever….. Damn, now I wish that was somehow part of punchline for a joke on President Hillary Clinton.

–

Although, it was so cold….did anyone check the ball  when it dropped for shrinkage?

–

If @realDonaldTrump REALLY cared about Iranians, who are protesting at no small risk to themselves, he could, you know, maybe take them off his travel ban? #IranProtests
