Gregg Popovich’s (hopefully) temporary absence from coaching the Spurs is apparently due to a mild stroke.
Las Vegas has the Spurs over-under to win 34.5 games. At this point thinking they’re going to do a lot better for Pop.
And now back to the circus
–
Melania Trump didn’t join her husband in visiting the White House today, where she would have had tea with Jill Biden. Guess the check didn’t clear
–
Also Melania Trump apparently is not going to move into the White House. Wonder if Donald will appoint another First Lady.
–
–
So if Melania isn’t moving to the White House at least can we keep Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations?
He didn’t win
But kudos to the Telegraph a conservative British newspaper. But unlike much of US media, they’re not afraid to write the truth in a headline.
Rick Scott: Businessman behind one of the biggest medical frauds in history tipped to run Senate

Another thing US media doesn’t talk about enough. Among his peers, Ted Cruz is universally acknowledged to be the most hated man in the Senate. Rick Scott is not that far behind him.

How far have we fallen in eight days? New Senate Majority Leader John Thune is hardly moderate, though he has been known occasionally to do bipartisan things and seems to work well with Amy Klobuchar on occasional legislation.
And Thune is sane. These days, that’s a major relief.
So why did Trump pick Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General? Donald couldn’t reach Hannibal Lecter?
–
Or for what department IS Trump going to nominate Hannibal Lecter?
–
Television host Pete Hegseth nominated for Secretary of Defense. I really miss the days when Vote for the Worst was something Americans just did for reality TV shows.

Kristi Noem, Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has killed more pets than Haitian immigrants

As Trump talks about eliminating Department of Education, newly elected multi-millionaire GOP Senators Bernie Moreno & Tim Sheehy have embraced the idea. Figures. Many of today’s rich Republicans who send kids to private school figure there’s no need for public education
Who else wonders if Matt Gaetz was just nominated to cause outrage and that Donald Trump’s real plan is to sneak some other evil person like Paxton or Ratcliffe in after Gaetz is rejected on a bipartisan basis.
Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “American people re-elected Trump by resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement promises he made on the campaign trail.” “Resounding margin?” 50.2 to 48.1 % as of now w/ CA votes outstanding.
That’s not enough of a margin to pass amendments in Florida.
