Plausibly live

July 25, 2024

The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony, which happens tomorrow night, will be during the day in the US.

Making it part of about 10-20% of the games that will happen while many Americans, especially on the West Coast, are awake.

(and NBC will hold the marquis events for the end of primetime anyway.)

What a difference a division makes.

Mariners are getting Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays.

In the AL West, Seattle 53-51, is one game behind the Astros. The Rays, at 52-51 are 4th in the AL East.

–

GOP may be about to find out. The only thing worse than pissing off women is pissing off women who love cats

–

On top of everything else, how furious is Donald Trump that Kamala Harris is getting what he feels are HIS headlines.

The media may be all in for Donald but what they mostly want is entertainment they can package for clicks and ratings. And Velveeta Voldemort has become BORING.

–

Secessionist Daniel Miller, who leads Texas Nationalist Movement, says Kamala Harris victory would ‘fuel’ his group’s goal— withdrawal of Texas from US or ‘Texit.’ If you needed another reason to vote blue. (Don’t worry, US would give amnesty to Austin, Houston & San Antonio.)

–

Maybe Republicans should have repealed the 14th and 19th amendment before they launched a war on people of color and women?

–

Wait, in 2020 he PROMISED.

Now Donald is returning to Minnesota for second time in 2024 Why? I’d say he wants some of that yummy State Fair fried food but the fair doesn’t start until late August.

In 2020 campaign. “I lose Minnesota, I’m never coming back”

–

Usha Vance, before her husband was picked as Turmp’s running mate: “Im not raring to change anything about our lives right now, but I believe in J.D., & I really love him, & so we’ll just sort of see what happens with our life.” Sounds like Usha is smarter than her husband

–

So for any MAGA or media amplifying GOP lies about President Biden violating the Hatch Act with his Oval Office speech…. Where were you at RNC convention in 2020 when Trump used White House lawn for his speech?

Remember this tweet?

Rays of hope

July 25, 2024

Robbie Ray, over a year removed from pitching after Tommy John surgery, made his first start for SF Giants today and gave up a run in the first inning to the Los Angeles Dodgers – walking two and hitting two.

Okay, who had Ray going on to throw five no hit innings and the Giants winning 8-3?

–

Not me.

–

And who had one of the first Paris Olympics cheating scandals being the Canadian women’s soccer team spying on their opponent with a drone?

Also not me.

–

Tne New York Yankees have fallen a game and a half behind the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East, but still hold the top wild card spot in the AL. The LA Dodgers with a 7.5 game lead in the NL West are looking for pitching help.

Both teams are expected to spend big at the trade deadline:

MLB payroll leaders for 2024.

  1. Mets − $305,624,274
  2. Yankees − $303,322,047
  3. Dodgers − $249,823,654

-So shall we have “Take me out to the ball game played on teeny tiny violins?

Not saying Biden Harris administration has been perfect with Gaza, and don’t know the solution. But anyone who is thinking of not voting for Kamala Harris in November out of sympathy for Palestinians should listen to GOP attacking Democrats today for not being pro-Israel enough.

–

Understand that the situation in the Mideast is complicated and Hamas is evil. But when Netanyahu talks about “sanctifying life…” Uh, how does he keep a straight face.

–

Netanyahu went on and on, speaking for over an hour today to Congress. Who does he think he is, Donald Trump?

Trump tonight at lie-filled rally

“They said something happened to me when I got shot, I became nice. But when you’re dealing with these very dangerous people you can’t be too nice.” Am fine with many potential VPs. But I’d so love Gabby Giffords to be our Second Lady.

–

Listening to the GOP being apoplectic about Kamala Harris over … plastic straws?? Does this mean if someone can come up with a biodegradable plastic straw that Harris & Democrats can brand it to win in a landslide?

–

How can GOP talk about DEI hires when every single person they have put on a Presidential ticket, along with their House and Senate leaders, are white men? Clearly Republicans are the ones who hire unqualified people because of quotas.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Joe Biden always feels like he’s the luckiest guy in the world.” We are lucky as Americans to have had him as President.

–

Just thinking, you know who was a childless leader? Jesus.
