As hard as it must be to lose NBA playoff game seven, have to think that this year the disappointment and frustration must at least be tempered a bit by being able to get out of Orlando in what is still summer – 90 + degrees, 90+ % humidity.

Damn. RIP Tom Seaver. Was I a Mets fan, no. But it was hard to root against him. And the 1969 Miracle Mets were one of the first just pure fun sports stories I remember. (Apologies to Orioles and Cubs fans.)

With the sad death of Tom Seaver, a good time to remember that Casey Stengel always said the Mets would win when they put a man on the Moon. They did. 1969.

In hopes of appealing to swing state sports fans, Trump is whining over the cancellation of Big Ten football, but crickets on Pac 12 football. Well, we all know Donald hates California but has he given up on Colorado and Arizona too?

CDC reportedly telling some health officials to be ready to start distributing a vaccine before November. And then presumably on November 4 to be ready to tell the public they don’t have enough vaccine and/or it doesn’t work.

Trump won’t condemn the poisoning of Alexey Navalny. Trump won’t condemn Russian bounties on US troops. Trump won’t condemn Russian election interference. The only loyalty Trump has is to his boss, Putin.

Don’t forget, foreign countries don’t need to push a candidate to influence an election. All they need to do is discredit the most viable opposition. Or get people disillusioned enough not to vote at all.

Tonight Rachel Maddow talks about Trump’s new pet COVID-19 doctor, Scott Atlas being a radiologist with no infectious disease experience. Add to that, can tell you as someone living near Stanford University, Atlas hasn’t even been at the Med School since 2012!

Martha McSally is down about 17 points to Mark Kelly in Arizona. So wonder if CNN will invite Rick Santorum on to talk about her chances? (Santorum lost his re-election to the Senate by 18 points in 2006.)

As Iowa and South Dakota have become two of USA’s worst COVID-19 hot spots, have to wonder, how many attendees of Trump’s Hatch Act violation RNC last week will get tested if they get sick, since it would mean admitting they were wrong.

As much of an upgrade as Joe Biden is going to be on Donald Trump, imagine how much of an upgrade President Biden’s AG, whoever she or he may be, is going to be on Bill Barr.

Motto of the Sturgis Motorcyle Rally was “Stay, Play, Ride.” In 2020 maybe it should have been “Stay, Play, Ride, Die.”

Asked how he’d deal with civil unrest, Joe Biden responds. “First of all I wouldn’t incite violence.”

As Trump tried to pretend he gave acceptance speech on the White House lawn to save $$$$ compared to him going to Charlotte, this is your reminder that not only did Donald make a 1 day trip to Charlotte last week, but also he’s in North Carolina again, today. On taxpayer dime.

Fox News now headlining Nancy Pelosi’s blowdry. For some reason I missed their outrage over Melania Antoinette’s redoing the Rose Garden in the middle of a pandemic.
