Busted

March 27, 2025

SF Giants are undefeated in the Buster Posey ownership era.

Arkansas blew a 16 point lead midway through the 2nd half and a 6 point leaded with 1 minute and 15 seconds left and the ball, to lose to Texas Tech in OT 85-83

This is the most embarrassing thing to happen to Arkansas since they elected Sarah Huckabee Sanders governor.

No team lower than a 3 seed into the first half of the Elite Eight. No double digit seed left with 12 teams to go. Cinderella left early to beat the rush.

For all the focus on Elise Stefanik, Trump plucked Mike Waltz out of a GOP Congressional Seat in Florida. While it’s a red district special election polls are now closer than expected & Waltz appears to be idiot who put reporter into war planning Signal chat.

Maybe GOP should have gotten Elise confirmed & left Waltz in Florida.

Can’t be said enough. If Trump thought his and DOGE policies were popular he wouldn’t be worried about a special election in New York. Heck, he’d have a handpicked crony already endorsed for Stefanik’s seat.

Elise Stefanik gave up her House leadership position for nothing. Thoughts and prayers.

Velveeta Voldemort today says he ‘always thought’ Waltz was responsible for Signal chat scandal.

1. He didn’t know what Signal was.

2. He can’t admit he made a major error in picking Hegseth.

3. So we know the next person to be thrown under the Trump bus.

Next time if you or anyone you know overdraws their checking account by a few dollars and gets charged a $35 fee, thank Republicans. They just voted to overturn a Biden CFPB rule to cap such fees at $5

JD and Usha Vance have now scrapped all pretense of their upcoming visit to Greenland being about culture and tourism as they will be kept away from residents. Give Trump credit. He’s the first US President to get America hated by Canada, Denmark and Greenland.

Four soldiers are still missing and presumed dead in Lithuania. At his press conference yesterday Trump had no clue anything had happened. And if you get news from Fox News you won’t see a word about it.

I’m 65, started paying into social security when I was 15. How about everyone else? PS – It’s not a ponzi scheme, it’s OUR money

Seeing some of these social security stories from many of us who’ve been paying in since we were teens reminds me of guy I dated ONCE Freshman year.

He was going to go skiing at Christmas, asked what I was doing. Said I was going home, would see friends but would do a lot of waitressing. His response “Why? Just ask mom & dad for money.” Wonder how many of these DOGE types who want to slash social security ever had a job in high school?

Opening Daze 2025

It’s opening day in MLB

And thanks to MLB starting the season with a high-priced two game series in Tokyo, The Dodgers, with their half billion $$ payroll are already 2-0

Kind of a metaphor for the season.

Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox icago’s current over/under on victories during the regular season is 53.5 at ESPN BET and other sportsbooks. It’s the lowest season win total set by sportsbooks in over 35 seasons, according to ESPN Research.

The 2024 White Sox won 41 games out of 162.

Meanwhile the 2024 Cincinnati Reds won 77 games.

Just to get Standing room only tickets for their game tomorrow against the SF Giants is $170 a ticket as of tonight.

“Siri, what is a baseball town?-


GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski: “I’m worried about everybody and how they have handled this Signal controversy. … Does it concern me? Hell yes.”

Well considering that Pete Buttigieg, Adam Schiff, Tammy Duckworth and no doubt others I have missed have already dropped the f bomb talking about this fiasco, “hell yes” seems pretty Alaska nice by comparison.

GOP made US deaths in Benghazi major issue for years.

Certainly used against Hillary Clinton & possibly kept Susan Rice from being chosen as Biden’s VP.

4 Army special operations soldiers killed in Niger in 2017. Almost nothing

Today 4 US soldiers killed in Lithuania. Crickets

Rachel Maddow “Trump DOGE cutting off all GAVI funding- vaccine funding for poor children around the world – with NO warning USA abdicating our global role.

“Polio, tuberculosis, Mpox, measles will blossom Obviously we’ll be fine here in America because none of these things ever cross border.”

Now Elon Musk is paying $100 to people signing his petition and giving away $1 million raffle prizes in his efforts to sway the Wisconsin Supreme Court election April 1.

Hey Wisconsin, I’d be pretty cheesed off with this guy trying to buy an election. You already told one out of state billionaire (Eric Hovde) “no”…

Remember this game? Many GOP in Washington are playing a heckuva version of it trying to explain the Signal group chat debacle.


Donold said “maybe it was a bad signal?” He still doesn’t know what Signal is does he?

Sen. Mark Warner on Signalgate “Has anyone collected & checked all of these phones for malware??? If they have your number bad guys don’t need your phone to do it”

He adds “didn’t think this crowd could still make my head explode but my head’s been exploding the past few days.”

Marge Three Names had a performative rant today about her kids potentially seeing a drag queen on PBS. But she has no problem with her kids hearing about other children so blown apart by an AK-47 in a school shooting that they could only be identified by their shoes…
