If MLB comes back this year, not only will tobacco and spitting be banned (good), but also chewing sunflower seeds will be prohibited.
Speaking as a former baseball mom, was there any reason other than baseball to chew sunflower seeds?

NASCAR starting up tomorrow without fans. Well, at least the cars are loud enough there won’t be drivers complaining about not being able to hear the cheers.

Mitt Romney tonight tweeted “The firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose. It is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power.”

It’s a start.  Then Susan Collins tweeted. “In 2008, I coauthored with former Sens. McCaskill and Lieberman The Inspector General Reform Act (P.L. 110-40), which among other provisions requires the President to notify Congress 30 days prior to the removal of an Inspector General along with the reasons for the removal. The President has not provided the kind of justification for the removal of IG Linick required by this law.”

Beginning to have new appreciation for Charlie Brown & his dreams of kicking that football: Susan Collins has a bipartisan past. Some part of me keeps hoping THIS will be time w/Trump Susan will be more than “very troubled.”
