Got to love MAGA trolls on Social Media screaming about Folarin Balogun’s red card.
While also demanding end to birthright citizenship.
Balogun, born to British-Nigerian parents, only eligible to play for USMNT because his 7 1/2 months pregnant mom wasn’t allowed to fly home to UK .

Have long since made my peace w/ rooting for athletes who don’t share my political views:
But despite being SF Giants fan since 1986, Landen Roupp making such a public point about his homophobia on Pride Night made it easy not to mind him giving up 3 runs in first inning yesterday to the AZ Dbacks.
Then Ryan Walker, another who chose to write a bible verse, instead of just wearing a regular non-Pride cap, came in tonight when the Giants were up 6-0, gave up 4 runs without an out, although SF hung on to win 6-4.
Almost as if God is telling them “stick to sports?”
(or get a day job)
Illinois Governor JB Pritzer says out loud what many think, that Donald Trump has dementia.
Assume Donald will want to sue. Wonder if any of his advisors will tell him “discovery is a b*tch?”
Happy Canada Day, eh? (now belated)
(Has our US President said a word? Suppose given his usual comments about our neighbor to the north, we should be grateful he hasn’t.)

I’d say the idea of Jeannine Pirro on SCOTUS has to be a bad joke But many if not most of Trump’s appointees to important positions are bad jokes.
Trump steals $1.3M from National Parks budget for Italian granite near Oval Office
When you can’t find a park ranger or a working bathroom at a National Park this summer, console yourself with the fact that POTUS is walking on fancy Italian granite…

So if Mitch McConnell did pass away would Trump demand the news be kept private until after the 4th of July so as not to distract from his Freedom 250 party?

As Washington Post reports Trump has skirted the rules to use a $500M no-bid contract to build his White House ballroom…
where are all the “Deficit Hawk” Republicans on this one?

GOP lost their minds when Lloyd Austin did not divulge he was hospitalized for two weeks after prostate cancer surgery in 2024. Meanwhile Rep. Tom Kean was MIA for four months And has anyone in GOP released ANY update on Mitch McConnell who was hospitalized over two weeks ago?

Troy Nehls, bragging of buying lobster & steak while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
“Maybe they don’t work as hard as I do”.
Nehls is retiring. He’ll have served SIX years in Congress; will receive full pension for life.
What a jacka**.

Trump asked about $1 billion he made last year “The stock market’s up… everybody’s profiting”
Sure this is very comforting to 40% or so of Americans who own no stock even in retirement plans.
And to working class Americans who mostly don’t have stock & who voted for Trump

Good news.
The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship
Bad news:
There were three SCOTUS judges who would have taken it away.

Depression is a real illness & good for GOP Rep. Tom Kean for getting help.
But he got in hospital medical treatment and was able to keep his taxpayer funded job while missing work for FOUR months.
How many Americans could do that, especially as Kean & GOP have taken away healthcare subsidies?
