Time to get those Panda hats out of storage. #SFGiants

Speed don’t slump #AlenHanson #SFGiants

–

None of the top 10 seeded women are in Wimbledon quarterfinals. But 25th seeded Serena Williams is. #MomsRule

–

Hundreds of people have been sickened from parasite reportedly in Del Monte packaged vegetable trays sold at convenience stores like Kwik Trip.
And kids are going “See, mom, you should have let me just get Doritos.”

–

As he’s being sued for unpaid overtime,  really, wouldn’t it be bigger news at this point that @realDonaldTrump treated his personal driver fairly?

–

Trump tweeted today “I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will honor the contract we signed &, even more importantly, our handshake.”
And why should man who has pulled USA out of so many international deals not believe that North Korea would honor theirs?

So Trump now defending his deal with North Korea by saying any unraveling is China’s fault. Who knew diplomacy could be so complicated?

–

If Stephen Miller thinks the worst thing kitchen staff have done to him is to flip him off, he clearly has never worked in a restaurant.

–

Same man who rages in a tweet that Pfizer has raised drug prices has also raised prices at his Washington DC hotel to some of the highest in town.

–

Mitch McConnell was complaining today on the Senate floor about Democratic tactics to delay SCOTUS nominee. #WhyThereIsNoSatire

–

If Trump didn’t take ideology into account as he said, how come he only considered names given to him on a list by the Federalist Society? Asking for a country.

–

Trump does know that if Kavanaugh changes his mind on sitting President being indicted he can’t fire him…right?

Brett Kavanaugh says “no President has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from diverse backgrounds.” Right, all the way from one end of the Federalist Society list to the other.

White and whiter…

–

If Brett Kavanaugh really believes all nice things he’s saying about Trump then he should be voted down by the sad condition of having early-onset Alzheimer’s.

–

Actually, Brett Kavanaugh’s views are irrelevant. According to @SenateMajLdr , a #SCOTUS pick cannot be confirmed within 8 months of an election. So let’s take this all up again in January 2019.

–

From Trump fundraising email “Judge Kavanaugh will protect our religious liberties, uphold the rule of law, and interpret the Constitution as it was originally understood by our Founders.”
“Our founders” believed only men should vote and that we should own slav

And another 100,000 or so Panda hats today get dragged out of storage…. #PabloSandoval

–

Shohei Ohtani hit a 443 ft pinch-hit 7th inning home run to beat the Dodgers tonight.  And Madison Bumgarner, who got only a walk and a single and a win today for the Giants is no doubt p*ssed.

–

Now that Lebron has made his third decision to move on, Tyronn Lue will meet with Luke Walton in Vegas Monday for breakfast.  So will Lue warn Walton how much Luke might miss coaching?

–

Now a 7th accuser has come forward to say that Jim Jordan knew about the sexual abuse of wrestlers. So it’s basically now a “He said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said” situation.

–

Seen on a bottle of Korbel “California Champagne.”   – “Never use a corkscrew to open.”  Beam me up Scotty….

–

So silly that a woman called Steve Bannon a “Piece of Trash.” Trash can be very useful when recycled.

–

Justin Bieber is  engaged? I don’t care, do u?

Understand that many people might have a hard time locating Lexington, Virginia precisely on a map.
But some MAGAers attacking Red Hen restaurant over Sarah Sanders are trashing the Red Hen in… Napa, California? #cantfixstupid

–

First time Trump mentions Thai boys in cave is day they are being rescued – so he can take credit for US assisting with “brave and talented people.” #ThaiCaveRescue

–

If those boys in Thailand try to immigrate to US after their rescue Trump would accuse them of being gang members.

Tweeting out many clips of people saying he would never be President. Is this the moment when @realDonaldTrump became a 12-year-old boy acting Presidential?

Hereditary monarchy got England Queen Elizabeth II. Electoral college got USA Donald Trump. Maybe time to rethink that revolutionary war?

Waiting for Putin to declare that Russia won in the World Cup Electoral College.

–

Croatia on to World Cup semis. Probably not a good idea for the team to go out for a congratulatory tea tonight.

–

Not that @realDonaldTrump was watching World Cup.  But the tying goal for Russia late in extra-time was scored by Mario Fernandes  Latin American immigrant.

Watch Croatia goalie play much of a World Cup quarterfinal on one leg and a bad hamstring. Kind of puts more than a few on MLB’s DL to shame.

–

Arizona Diamondbacks scored 11 runs in first 3 innings against SD Padres Saturday night.  SF Giants  have scored 10 runs in last 5 games.

At what point does Giants offense show up on milk cartons?

–

According to GOP & Trump it’s worse locker room behavior for NFL players simply to stay there during anthem than for men to be there sexually assaulting college students or talking about sexually assaulting women.

So yeah, an all NATO World Cup Final Four. In Russia.

–

Amazing how thrice-married man sleeping with both a porn star and Playboy bunny (at least) during his current marriage is so obsessed with “FBI Lovers.”

–

At this point there’s enough evidence against Jim Jordan he’d be forced to resign even if he were a top football coach.

Judging by Republican reaction to #JimJordan, it wouldn’t have taken long for Roy Moore to be accepted by GOP Congress.

–

North Korea called out United States for “gangster-like mindset.”
That moment when a murderous dictatorship speaks more honestly than most of the US media.

–

Offered a lucrative endorsement contract for Ritz Carlton body lotion   #ReasonsScottPruittResigned

So over-under on how long it will take Trump to attack Bill Frist?

Dershowitz claims he is being treated worse for defending Trump than he was for defending O.J. Simpson. Well, O.J. only permanently separated two children from their mother.

Jenrry Mejia has been reinstated by MLB two years after being given a lifetime ban for PEDs. Because playing for the #Mets is punishment enough?

–

Tonight SF Giants scored more runs than any World Cup team scored goals.   Which would be more fun to write if it weren’t the first time all week.

–

And well, the World Cup is now down to the “Northern Hemisphere” Cup.

–

Who’s more nervous at time of writing this post?  Players for England, Sweden, Russian and Croatia?  Or refs who are calculating odds of calling penalty kicks against Russia and getting out of Moscow alive?

–

Who knew that a former assistant wrestling coach at OSU might end up more universally hated than Urban Meyer?

Jim Jordan now on his part in Ohio State wrestling doctor scandal – “conversations in a locker room are a lot different than allegations of abuse or reported abuse.”
In other words, it’s not sexual assault when it’s “locker room banter?’

Let’s put it a different way, if Ohio State allegations of ignoring sexual abuse were against ANY Democrat in Congress, GOP would be calling for immediate imprisonment after resignation.

–

Seriously at this point how racist AND stupid do you have to be to act out in public in a world where everyone is armed with a cellphone?

–

Not condoning hat stealing and drink tossing, but FELONY THEFT charges for guy who took teen’s MAGA hat & threw a soda at him?
In Texas the charges might be less if he shot a gun to scare the kid.

–

Trump says he can’t find US workers at Mar-A-Lago. He is paying $12-13 an hour. Why not try $15 an hour to prove we don’t need immigrants?

And heck, according to a quick search, the local Hilton is paying $16 an hour, with probably benefits.

–

So Trumpbaby has scared Trump out of visiting London. California wants to know, can we borrow or build one?

–

Two questions. 1. Does Donald Trump even know who Curtis Hill is? 2. How long until Trump claims he believes Indiana’s Attorney General?

After judges originally missed 10 hot dogs eaten by Joey Chestnut, Major League Eating said “yesterday’s incident might be the impetus to bring competitive eating into the digital age.”
Great, Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest will be ahead of baseball with balls and strikes.

–

So maybe it wasn’t a good idea to say the SF Giants couldn’t look any worse than they did  in Denver?

–

Grayson Allen in a scuffle today in NBA Summer League. So congrats to all those who had July 5th in the pool.

–

Now it’s a 4th wrestler who said Jim Jordan knew about doctor’s sexual abuse. If anyone thinks The Ohio State University will side with a politician over one of their athletes, they haven’t been to a OSU-Michigan game.

Open note to Ohio State – Penn State leaders went to jail over protecting their beloved Joe Paterno. And Jim Jordan on a good day is not even close to being Joe Paterno.

–

Fox News headline “Teenager in Texas attacked for wearing MAGA hat.” (16 yr old had soft drink thrown in his face at San Antonio Whataburger.) But nothing about Oregon state rep who had cops called on her for canvassing her district while being black….

–

Request for giant @TrumpBabyUK balloon to fly over London during Trump’s visit was just approved by Mayor Sadiq Khan. Can’t wait to see kind things Trump says about Khan now.

If @northropgrumman fires their employee outed as a violent White Supremacist in Charlottesville,  how long until the guy ends up working in Trump administration?

–

Now that he’s got Bill Shine, how long until Trump offers Jim Jordan a job in his administration.

–

Maybe James Woods can go out for a beer with lonely Alan Dershowitz.

Scott Pruitt, James Wood and Alan Dershowitz walk into a bar….

–

So as Scott Pruitt leaves Washington did he ask @RitzCarlton for a truck full of parting gifts?

–

Apparently in Montana Trump is back to attacking the media as “very bad people” (a week after Capital Gazette murders), insulting Elizabeth Warren and John McCain, and making fun of the “Me Too” movement.
Another of those moments he became Presidential?

Trump tonight “Thousand points of light What does that mean? Make America Great Again we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that?’
Part of his “no decent Republican left un-insulted” policy?

University of Georgia QB Jake Fromm fractured his non-throwing hand this week, apparently in a “freak boating accident.”  Was he washing it at the time?

–

Can SF Giants talk to the equipment manager who left their bats in Arizona?

–

MLB teams love to sell game-used Fourth of July equipment.    But SF Giants are going to have a hard time claiming they are “game-used” bats.

–

Learn something every day. Today I learned from Generation Z-ers that “fireworking” is now a verb. As in “who are you fireworking with tonight?”#FourthofJuly

–

Joey Chestnut wins #NathansHotDogEatingContest again. But really, this of all years who expected America would lose our supremacy in gluttony.

–

Somehow  Fox News seems to have missed the story about GOP senators celebrating #FourthofJuly in Russia….. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

–

PSA – If you start a fire with illegal fireworks please be sure to alert the Fire Dept so they can try to save every other home in your neighborhood first.

–

When will #SecondCivilWar be available for binge-watching on Netflix?

–

A woman who slipped and got her leg caught between the platform and a subway train in Boston begged rescuers “Please don’t call the ambulance, it costs too much.”

(She did get taken to the hospital, not by ambulance, where she was treated for a broken leg and cuts.)

Are we great yet?

Wonder if any of the Ohio State abuse actually took place in a pizza parlor?  #Projection

If Larry Nassar had only joined Trump administration we’d be hearing from GOP how all those girls were lying.

–

I’m sure parents separated from their children feel very sympathetic to Alan Dershowitz being ostracized by many of his summer friends on Martha’s Vineyard

–

#Happy4thofJuly Can we start spelling it “Democraucy? Because it needs U

–

So for Trump/Putin Helsinki private meeting assume their invite said “Should you choose to forgo your individual rooms, please use this key to stay as a couple in the Fantasy Suite.”

With Warriors signing Cousins, NBA finals between Western and Eastern Conferences move closer to equivalent of having World Series winners take on the College World Series champions.

In 1993, had Rockies beaten Braves ONCE out of 13 games #SFGiants would have made playoffs. in 2017 Bumgarner hurt himself on dirt bike, now in 2018 Giants look like they may never win again at Coors.
Guessing Colorado isn’t their favorite state.

–

Reuben Foster suspended 2 games by NFL. That’s one game per arrest.

–

World Cup in US is a bit like March Madness. Lots of people rooting for teams on which they cannot name a single player.

–

So Jim Jordan wants to be the next Paul Ryan, when it’s looking like he might be the next Joe Paterno.

–

–

What’s the difference between  Jim Jordan and Joe Paterno? Other than Paterno being dead, not much.

–

Apparently over $1 million will be waged on Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest, with Joey Chestnut the prohibitive favorite.
So who needs the World Cup when we still have American supremacy in eating?

–

New York weather over 90 degrees for an entire week. In Chicago they are having to hose down moveable bridges to keep them moving. But there’s no climate change. #sarcasm

–

Is declaring war on Harley Davidson another one of those moments Trump became Presidential?

–

Trump tweeted ” Big Supreme Court win on internet sales tax – about time! Big victory for fairness and for our country. Great victory for consumers and retailers. But Trump store doesn’t charge sales tax for shipping to most states. IOKIYT – It’s OK If You’re Trump?

–

Who says Trump is incapable of learning? Today he learned the difference between “pour” and “pore.”

–

At this point all Barack Obama has to do is wish Americans a Happy 4th of July and Trump will try to eliminate the holiday.

–

How long until Trump starts the #FakeSenateIntelligenceCommittee tweets?

–

Just for those who don’t know – “There are 15 full-time members of the Senate Intelligence Committee — eight Republicans and seven Democrats.”

–

Vermont has legalized marijuana. Maple-syrup topped Doritos anyone?

As Cousins signs with Warriors at what point does NBA admit their regular season exists just as entertainment to sell tickets until Western Conferences finals?

–

Warriors sign 5th All-Star in DeMarcus Cousins. If Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry weren’t so outspoken, Trump would be trying to take credit for them.

–

So hell, why don’t Warriors just sign Kawhi Leonard and be done with it?

–

Also can we just declare Coors Field the next home of Little League World Series and be done with it?

–

Brazil’s Neymar may or may not become a World Cup Champion. But at the very least he is in contention for best supporting actor.

–

New study found those who drink at least six cups of coffee every day are 16% less likely to die from cancer or any kind of disease. But are they more likely to die from murder by someone who repeatedly told them “Calm the f*ck down.

Harvey Weinstein now may be looking at life in prison with new sexual assault allegations. “I feel so sorry for him” said nobody.

–

Draft leaked of act that would allow President Trump to ignore WTO and raise tariffs by himself, “United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act.”

The FART Act.  Well, finally truth in Trump advertising.

–

Waiting for @realDonaldTrump to say Michael Cohen was just his “covfefe” lawyer.

Well, hope Luke Walton enjoyed his time actually coaching the Lakers.

–

Waiting for Lavar Ball to say Lebron James is now the 2nd best player on the Lakers

–

You know you’re having good week after being called up from AAA when they intentionally walk you in your third start. #AustinSlater #SFGiants

–

And didn’t we all have SF Giants with Cueto, Samardzija and now Strickland out having the best ERA in NL for June at 2.70?

–

Eliminating teams from the World Cup on Penalty Kicks is like ending the World Series with a Home Run Derby.

Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Islanders captain John Tavares for seven years, $77 million. And presumably he’ll get most late Aprils and Mays off.

There are classic World Cup games that turn people into soccer fans for life. Spain vs. Russia and Croatia vs. Denmark were not those games.

–

Tammy Duckworth says Alexandria Ocasio Ortiz politics will not win in Midwest. Uh, duh, and  Lisa  Murkowski wouldn’t win in Kansas and John Bel Edwards wouldn’t win in California. It’s called being right for your district.

–

Susan Collins thinks #SCOTUS won’t overturn Roe v Wade because of respect for “precedent.” Wonder what Justice Merrick Garland thinks.

–

Happy Canada Day. How long until Canada has to build a wall to keep desperate refugees from the US out?

–

“Permit Patty” Alison Ettel claims she just pretended to call 911 on a black child selling water, and then police release the 911 tape.
So MAYBE Ettel isn’t racist, but she sure is stupid.

–

If an immigrant had stabbed one US citizen last night @realDonaldTrump would have unleashed a tweet storm by now. But nine refugees are stabbed by an American in Boise, and crickets.

Tonight @realDonaldTrump congratulated leftist newly elected President of Mexico. Over-under on when Trump will come up with his 1st nasty nickname for Andrés Manuel López Obrador?
