Throwing it out there

May 7, 2024

Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray will be fined $100,000 for throwing a towel & heating pad onto the court in Denver’s loss to Minnesota Timberwolves Monday. But not suspended. Well, not as if Tom Brady ever got suspended for throwing all those tablets.

Ouch, Texas Rangers scored 11 runs on 10 hits in 1.2 innings against Ross Stripling and the A’s today in Oakland.

Only bright spot for the A’s – only 3,965 people showed up to watch.

SF Giants finally got some runs on the board today in Denver, scoring 4 runs in one inning despite only getting two balls out of the infield.

When SF Giants get runners on bases lately their rallies last about as long as the “encounter” Stormy Daniels describes with Donald Trump… Sigh.

The President of Russia is limited to no more than two consecutive six year terms.

Today Vladimir Putin was sworn in for his FIFTH term. Think his US puppet former president doesn’t plan the same thing here?

#VoteBlue


There were actually 40 Senate Republicans voting “no” on President Biden’s nomination of Donna Welton to be U.S. Ambassador to Timor-Leste.

Wonder how many of them could find Timor-Leste on a map? Guessing many don’t even know what continent it’s on.

Does Judge Aileen Cannon think Donald Trump will appoint her to SCOTUS? Or make her wife number #4?

Barron’s graduation is 10:00 am so his father CAN be at ceremony. But after all this “been looking forward for years to having his mother & father there” Trump will show up, leave ceremony early & tell Barron to get a hamburger or something while Donald jets off to a fundraiser.

Trump people are complaining prosecutors are eliciting details about Stormy Daniels’ affair with Donald Trump. But part of his defense is that he didn’t have any relationship with her? Details make it harder to lie and say she’s making it up.

Can’t someone in the media interrupt one of Donald Trump’s vanity press events after a day in court to ask “Sir, did you have sex with that woman?


So tired of pundits, mostly men, saying it hurts Stormy Daniels’ credibility to say she hates Donald Trump. He instigated sex, then has been regularly calling her a liar AND attcking her looks..

Seems like normal and credible response would be for a woman to hate such a man.

Very on brand for NY Times – this headline

“Stormy Daniels Tells a Story of Sex With Trump as He Listens in Disgust.”

Disgust? Or embarrasment? Or fury that he couldn’t silence Stormy while she was telling the truth?

If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere..

As a Spurs fan, I haven’t really cared for a while who wins the NBA finals. But sure increasingly seeming like the NBA wants the trophy presentation at Madison Square Garden.

(And if you don’t think officiating can decide a playoff series, you’re too young or have forgotten 2002 Western Conference Final – Kings/Lakers Game Six.)

Imagine if before the Super Bowl, instead of both teams’ captains shaking hands, one team refused and said “Not accepting the handshake, if we lose it will only be because the game is rigged.” That’s where we are with Trump & his team.

SF Giants just got swept in Philadelphia, and despite a number of high-priced free agents, are hitting if anything worse than in 2023.

Former manager Gabe Kapler might be forgiven for giggling.

September 2020. President Trump “”What we’ve done for Minnesota, if I lose Minnesota, I’m never coming back. I don’t care. I’m never coming back!”

And on the night his son graduates from high school, Trump is now headlining a GOP State Fundraiser in St. Paul. Another promise Velveeta Voldemort took as seriously as his three wedding vows.

Hey media? Why isn’t it a bigger story that both the GOP Presidential candidate and those wanting to be his VP all refuse to accept the results of the election if they lose?

WTF CNN? This headline “Judge’s warning provides dilemma for Trump.” What dilemma?

Judge Merchan simply told Donald not to publicly attack witnesses & jurors.

For most defendants when threatened with jail time, to shut up or not to shut up is not a hard question.

Trying to imagine what would happen to most of us if we told a policeman who pulled us over for a traffic violation that you felt your rights were being violated and “our constitution is much more important than jail.”

As Houston area begins long process of recovery from recent flooding GOP Polk Country judge Sydney Murphy is “tired of dealing with historic weather events”, but “whatever happens, whatever Mother Nature sends our way, we will deal with.” Anything but acknowledge climate change.

Donald Trump reportedly complained about having to take photo at Mar-A-Lago with donors and said if people didn’t get pictures it’s because they didn’t give enough money. Well, if they really wanted pictures with him they should brought a teenage daughter in skimpy clothes.

Increasingly looks like Barack Obama won two Presidential Elections not because of but in SPITE of having David Plouffe and David Axelrod as campaign managers.

Apparently Wisconsin Senate candidate Eric Hovde voted absentee in California in 2023 and 2024. When he loses to Senator Tammy Baldwin in November, bet he’ll be glad to get back to his gorgeous home in Laguna Beach.
