After a stormy night with mostly blue waves.

But along with all the Blue to Red (and some Red to Blue) flips, let’s not forget, the SF Giants just hired the LA Dodgers’ GM.

You better have voted.

Just how twisted and sick do you have to be when economy looks good, and you STILL have to base all your campaigning on fear and hatred? Asking for a country that is better than this.

But seriously for those with any doubts on their vote, if Trump campaigns on this much fear and hatred when the economy is going well, imagine what he will be like when his tariffs, healthcare cuts and tax savings for the rich REALLY tank the US economy?

One thing we have learned empirically over the past couple weeks – angry white racist men are much more dangerous than a caravan of poor people hundreds of miles away. #Tallahassee #Pittsburgh

–

NBC “After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible.” Uh it took “after further review..” And we thought NFL refs sometimes were bad.

If networks really wanted to repudiate Trump’s racist ad, how about running a follow-up saying the killer shown was released by Joe Arpaio?

–

Let’s make it simple on determining the real party of the people. Democrats want to make it easier for as many people as possible to vote. Republicans want to make it harder.

What’s Trump going to do Wednesday when he has to stop doing daily campaign rallies and has to pretend again to govern?

–

On a bipartisan bright note, suppose it’s naive at least to hope after tomorrow our email inboxes will go down by a few hundred a day?

Though for some sports…

–

New Raiders broadcaster Brent Musburger tweeted out a picture of people in Native-American headdresses at a Trump rally and captioned it ‘Elizabeth Warren’s “relatives” backing Trump in Montana.”
I liked Brent better when he was just a dirty old man.

–

Who knows about tomorrow, but for tonight, most of America can at least unite over cheering another Cowboys loss

ESPN doing their usual raves tonight about Tom Brady and the Patriots tonight for beating Aaron Rodgers and now 3-4-1 Packers.
Meanwhile Drew Brees and Saints beat a pretty good Jared Goff and a now 8-1 Rams team…

Wonder if 1972 Miami Dolphins were buying drinks on Bourbon Street tonight for Saints.

–

Another week, another loss for the Cleveland Browns. But they’re still one win ahead of the Cavaliers.

Meanwhile NBC during Sunday Night Football decided to run a racist anti-caravan ad during Sunday Night Football that CNN turned down

And here most of us outside New England thought we could have just spent tonight just booing Tom Brady.

ESPN apologized to SEC commissioner for James Carville talking about conference conspiracy to favor pro-Alabama football.   Because oops, Carville forgot  “First rule of SEC conspiracy club, don’t talk about SEC conspiracy. club.

–

On Saturday FSU, Florida and Miami all lost. I miss the days when that would be the worst news for Floridians.  #Tallahasseeshooting

–

Your reminder that  Trump STILL hasn’t mentioned names of , Maura Binkley and Nancy Van Vessem, murdered Friday in Florida by a misogynist right-wing white American man.

–

Not enough to disenfranchise almost half million votes, now Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, with no proof, is accusing Democrats to try to hack voter registration system. So if he loses Kemp is hoping to get a job in Trump White House?

–

Kimberly Guilfoyle indicated if Republicans don’t vote “you’re going to get the Star Wars bar scene.” As opposed to if Democrats don’t vote we get a world led by Darth Vadar and Jabba the Hut.

–

However the election comes out, when you look at the polling differences between college-educated and non-college educated voters, you start seeing why Trump chose Betsy Devos for his cabinet. Education causes Democrats.

–

For his rallies, Trump loves to use songs that artists don’t want him playing. But wouldn’t the most appropriate be “Money can’t buy me love?”

From Melania Trump fundraising email today. “Democrats and the opposition media are doing everything they possibly can to discredit Donald with false accusations by spreading their fake news…” This is her idea of #BeBest?

Colin Kaepernick still hasn’t either changed his mind about not voting, or apologized for saying voting doesn’t matter.
Heck, even Caitlyn Jenner said “I’m sorry, I made a mistake.”
#VOTE

Cleveland Cavaliers  play  Washington Wizards on November 14.  I’ll take “Games that looked more interesting when they drew up the schedule” for $400, Alex.

Guessing Trump won’t be taking credit for the Washington Wizards.

–

Is it too soon to speculate how many years Jon Gruden will actually coach of his 10 year Raiders contract.

Clayton Kershaw has re-signed for 3 years with Los Angeles. Good news! For anyone who might play Dodgers in the post-season.

Maybe we’re doing this all wrong with younger generation. Maybe we should tell them we old farts don’t want them to vote, so we can saddle them with expensive problems long after we’re gone.

–

So what yoga pose IS most appropriate to hold a gun for self-defense? Asking for what will surely be the NRA’s narrative.

–

Two Kentucky students were suspended after wearing Columbine shooter costumes to school on Halloween.  Can they be arrested and charged with criminal stupidity?

–

And what happens when the militia or far-right crazies coming to aid Trump’s troops see brown American citizens walking in border towns?

–

Now Trump walking back comments about migrants with rocks -“I didn’t say shoot. But if they do that with us they’re gonna be arrested for a long time.”
But of course if they “resist” arrest, they will also be shot.

So shouldn’t Alec Baldwin punching a man he was angry at make Donald Trump actually start liking him?

–

While Andrew  Gillum is suspending campaigning for two days after Tallahassee mass shooting, crickets from Donald Trump. So guessing it’s pretty safe to say the killer was not an immigrant.

Michael Cohen says Trump said privately “Black people are too stupid to vote for me.”

This is a potential quandary for Donald Trump. Upset minorities by admitting the statement, or upset his base by denying it?

When your plan to win an election is to disenfranchise as many people as possible, it is a pretty safe bet your plan is not to govern on behalf of most people.

So who had Nick Mullens in Fantasy Football this week?

Mullens did have a great night. 49ers fans can’t wait to see what he looks like against an NFL defense.

I guess the C. J. Beathard era with 49ers may be over?

–

Coach Jon Gruden says he gets a lot of phone calls from players who say they are “dying to play for the Raiders.” Is he sure they didn’t mean “we’d rather be dead than play for the Raiders?”

–

There had been some talk that Oakland Raiders might play at Cal’s Memorial Stadium next year. After tonight, Berkeley may decide even for $$$ they won’t stoop that low. De La Salle High School field anyone?

–

How long until Vegas looks at their purchase of the Raiders under California’s “Lemon Law?”

–

Fox News headline about “Rogue star” & “massive threat to Earth.” “Another rogue star has been spotted heading our way. And our descendants may get to see it up close — in about 1.29 million years.” 1.29 million years?!! . Well, that sure justifies Trump’s “Space Force.”

–

You know how weird this world has become when you get an ad promoting a video of John Boehner speaking at the Cannabis Summit for investors in legalized marijuana…

Meanwhile, with all the Trump craziness today, including that anyone throwing a rock will be subject to being shot, here’s the Fox News headline angle “President pushes tough limits for asylum seekers, issues warning to violent migrants in caravan.”

–

Seriously, with all these troops and wannabe militia that are going to be down near the border, how long until some American citizen of Latino heritage gets shot just for walking around?

Trump today on the migrant caravan “if they throw rocks, consider it a rifle.” Bill Schroeder, Jeffrey Miller, Sandy Scheuer and Allison Krause might disagree. If they were alive. And they weren’t even throwing rocks on May 4, 1970. #KentState
