Smallest of mercies

February 6, 2026

Well the world hasn’t completely gone insane.

Drew Brees was selected as an NFL first ballot Hall of Famer.

–

Just saying, if you are looking for television to have on in the background that is a mental cleanse from the news these days, can highly recommend Olympics curling!

🥌

–

There was literally his headline on Fox News today “Trump cuts aid to three Mexican countries.”

We have not just become a sh*thole country, we have become a stupid country.

–

So has Speaker Mike Johnson said yet that he hasn’t heard mob boss Donald Trump tie infrastructive funding to his demand that Dulles Airport and Penn Station be renamed for him?

–

So how do I couch this?

Sometimes I really do believe Trump chose Vance as his VP because JD is so loathsome Donald figured he was impeachment insurance.

–

Trump told NBC News he will accept GOP losses in the 2026 midterm elections only if they are honest.

This is a man who has never accepted losing in ANYTHING.

He cheats at golf, calls the Nobel prize rigged, and I’ll bet even his grandchildren won’t play board games with him.

Lighting the flame…

February 5, 2026

The Olympics in Europe is always especially difficult to follow in the US with time zone issues.

In fact, just discovered I’ve missed some early curling. The horror.

–

San Antonio Spurs won but were 12-20 – 60% – from the free throw line tonight against the Thunder If Pop were still coaching thinking free throw practice might start tomorrow at 8a. #PorVida

–

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s take on Donald Trump’s telling Kaitlan Collins to “smile.”

“So we thought we’d give women something to smile about. One day he’ll be gone…”

Not just that Donald is bragging about cognitive tests where he identifies animals like a zebra.

  1. Those tests are given to probable dementia patients.
  2. Since he lies about everything think we have to assume that more than once he’s gotten the animal wrong

Let’s be VERY clear.

If the Epstein files exonerated Trump and had proof of guilt of Democratic politicians, Donald would NOT be saying the country wants to move on.

In fact he’d have gotten Bondi and Blanche to issue indictments by now.

–

Tom Homan actually said today “we have nothing to hide.”

Yes, the same Tom Homan who was recorded in 2024 by FBI agents taking a $50,000 bribe.

This would be funny if it weren’t our democracy we’re talking about.

–

As JD Vance refuses to apologize for the lies he reposted about Alex Pretti, we all need to remember something.

Alex Pretti was protesting on behalf of Minneapolis residents who are being detained & arrested for no other reason than they look like Vance’s wife & children!

–

–

DHS withdrawing 700 ICE troops from Minnesota and leaving over 2,000 still means there are about triple the number of ICE agents in MSP area than local law enforcement officers.

And Tom Homan wants applause for it? Or maybe given his past another $50,000 in a paper bag?

–

Wrap your head around this.

There is not a single state that Trump lost that he thinks runs elections fairly.

Well, maybe Hawaii. But Donald may not realize it’s a state.

–

Doesn’t get enough media coverage but not just people like Renee Good or Alex Pretti who get no sympathy from GOP politicians.
Every month, average of more than 70 women in the USA are shot & killed by an intimate partner.
But if that partner isn’t an immigrant, GOP doesn’t care

Amateur hours?

February 4, 2026

Anyone know who won tonight’s NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football Game?

Anyone know there WAS an NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football Game?

–

Amazed the NFL didn’t invite Donald Trump to the Pro Bowl Flag Football game.

Or at least offered him a copy of the prestigious Pro Bowl Championship trophy.

–

Can ANY Trump supporter name a time when he lost, on anything, and accepted it?

I’ll wait.

–

Lindsey Vonn is ‘confident’ she can race at Olympics despite ruptured ACL in left knee

Weaker sex my ass.

–

–

When Kaitlan Collins asked Trump “What do you say to (Epstein) survivors who are unhappy with retractions in the files? “You are the worst reporter, CNN has no ratings because of people like you, I’ve never seen you smile…” “

“Misogynistic pig” is being kind.

Rare light Senate moment.


In Netflix -Warner Brothers hearing merger, Ted Cruz praises Amy Klobuchar for referencing movie “Grumpy Old Men.”
Klobuchar ” It is relevant to our workplace. But I chose not to say it”
Cruz “Amy, you had the hanging punchline, I needed you to finish it.”

–

–

Susan Collins showed up with a MAGA hat in hands for Trump’s signing of the bill to extend government spending for two weeks.

You know the Senate has no power these days when Collins apparently couldn’t even schedule a manicure as an excuse not to attend.

–

To anyone shocked that some MAGA don’t seem to know Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is American…

Talk to any travel agent you know. Surprising number of people don’t even know Hawaii is a state.

“Do they take US dollars in Hawaii?”

“Do you need a passport for Hawaii?”

No joke

–

I’m so old I remember when Trump started throwing the full weight of his government against Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in a random personal vendetta.

Now he’s going to appeal the release of Liam, the boy with a bunny ears hat, all the way to SCOTUS?

Worst loser EVER.

Total eclipse of the mind..

February 3, 2026

Daily Mail with the comedy line of the day

“Turning Point USA announces star-studded lineup for its rival Super Bowl halftime show after Bad Bunny backlash.”

“Star-studded?””

TPUSA show will include Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.

–

Washingtonian magazine today on the Kennedy Center closing “The center is among the many local landmarks Trump plans to put his characteristic stamp on. One hopes Dulles won’t have to close as well.”

This would be funnier if it didn’t seem so possible.

–

Seizing ballots in Georgia, getting a whistleblower complaint against her so bad it can’t even be unsealed…?

So who knew Tulsi Gabbard might end up doing something awful?

Except everybody.

–

They’re figuring it out?

White woman who owns a restaurant in West VIrginia interviewed on MSNow saying “Yes, ICE should be going after criminals, but not chasing line cooks down the street.”

–

Donald Trump keeps insisting he won Minnesota 3 times.

He LOST Minnesota 3 times. Solidly.

Minnesota also has 3 Congressional Republicans who won their seats. It wasn’t a Democratic juggernaut. (Although Amy Klobuchar won 12 districts Donald won.)

Is he deluded or lying?

–

Thinking Trump hires “the worst of the worst” on purpose.

He knows that most of them couldn’t get jobs in any other administration, and at this point, maybe anywhere in the US in future..

So job security (and increasingly, staying out of prison) keeps them loyal.

–


Trump this morning “Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” How many times has Speaker Johnson said he didn’t hear that yet?

–

And tonight he’s ranting about a Harvard story in the NY Times and claiming he has the best poll numbers in history

He’s not just sundowning. It’s a total eclipse of his mind…

Not up in the air

February 2, 2026

Hard to feel sorry for pro athletes making big money.


But San Antonio Spurs had yesterday’s 2p game in Charlotte moved up 11a in hopes of beating the bomb cyclone. Didn’t work. Team still sat on plane for 2 hrs before it was cancelled.

So they rescheduled for this morning, had the flight to San Antonio diverted to Atlanta for a mechanical issue. Finally made it back about 4p, (And had their game start time vs Orlando delayed twice, from 3p to 6p to 8pm.)

Even chartered planes are no match for Mother Nature

–

So is there ANYTHING Donald won’t destroy or tear down to feed his monstrous ego? We’ve elected a Trumpzilla. #KennedyCenter

–

So since Bad Bunny won the top award tonight, how long until Donald Trump tries to shut the Grammys down?

–

So MAGA, admittedly I didn’t hear all his speeches but I missed Trump’s promise “vote for me and I’ll shut down the Kennedy Center for two years…”

–

“Melania” received an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite scoring 99% with the site’s “verified audience.”

They’re saying the people who actually saw the documentary liked it?

Both of them?

–


So how long do theaters who have agreed to show the Melania movie have to keep it on screen before they pull it?

–

Would love to see the number of Americans who streamed or watched Catherine O’Hara movies and shows this weekend compared to those seeing the Melania movie.

–

Getting all kinds of ads and offers to resubscribe to the Washington Post. At the same time the paper is reportedly gutting its staff. Hard pass.

Haven’t given up on the NY Times yet, but even in California, besides our local SF Chronicle, my newspaper money is much better spent on the Minnesota Star Tribune.

–

On SNL Cold Open last night on ICE Tom Homan asks “What have you learned? An ICE agent responds Maybe I’ve got this wrong but ..you hired a bunch of angry aggressive guys, gave us guns and didn’t train us so maybe this is what you wanted to happen?”

–

Florida Surgeon General on ending vaccine requirements for kids in school

“Who am I to tell you what to put in your body?”

So Joseph Ladapo is endorsing women’s right to take the abortion pill. Got it. #Smallmercies
