Over and out.

April 10, 2025

The Chicago White Sox were about to tie the game on a bases loaded single in the 9th inning today against the Cleveland Guardians. And then runner Mike Tauchman injured himself running around third and couldn’t make it to the plate. This might be one of the most White Sox losses ever.

–

Meanwhile, Mike Yastremski, who hit a three run home run to help SF Giants win 5-4 on Sunday, said at the time, his 3 year old Quinley asked me for a home run,” Yastrzemski said over the weekend.

–

Today Yaz admitted “Well, she asked me specifically for a triple, a home run and a splash hit.”

And he won the game with a 2-run splash hit in the 10th.

Maybe the SF Giants need to buy that girl a pony. Or something.

–

Meanwhile in Colorado, 11 games in the 2-9 Rockies have a -33 run differential. Which means not only are they losing, they are losing by an average of 3 runs per game. Ouch.

–

Wonder if any journalists were included on a SIGNAL chat about fake tariffs in order to manipulate the market.

If so, would be nice if they’d come out with it now instead of waiting to write a book.

–
It’s not just that the rich got richer. But many working class people sold at a loss because they were terrified of losing what was left of their retirement savings.

–

Trump’s wants the IRS’s division to go after rich tax cheats eliminated. But he wants the IRS to turn over confidential information to go after, for now, immigrants. How long until he tries to go after those who donate to liberal causes?

–

Please folks. Forget 4D chess. Could some reporter on camera just ask Trump to name every piece on a chessboard?

–

Trump White House to NBC News -they will not release list of countries that have so far reached out to start negotiating with U.S. over Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs. Translation – the list doesn’t exist.

–

Trump is the arsonist who shows up to help firefighters and wants to be declared a hero.

–

“President Trump is doing a masterful job of negotiating with other countries!?””

New Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno on Senate floor today. Ohio, not only did you vote out a great man in Sherrod Brown but you elected a sycophantic buffoon.

–

Could some of this insanity with tariffs and changing on a daily basis be because Velveeta Voldemort was tired of his co-President Musk getting all the headlines?

As a Democrat I can say I think Nancy Pelosi was wrong not to outlaw Congressional stock trading. But think most Democrats now would vote to do it. Your move, Mike Johnson.

All downhill from here

April 9, 2025

If it were only baseball he’s tanking.

Washington Nationals 8

Los Angeles Dodgers 2

Almost as if everything Trump touches dies. #Ettd

–

In a parliamentary system when things go really badly they can call for a “vote of no confidence” to trigger a snap election. If the USA survives this Trump presidency is it possible we could switch to having a parliament?

–


Do we know that Kamala would have been a great President? No, we don’t. Do we know she would have been MUCH better than Velveeta Voldemort. Yes, we absolutely do.


To keep his job, Mike Johnson agreed to abdicate House’s power on tariffs to Donald Trump. So a man who began as the least consequential Speaker of the House in history may go down in history as the man who let a madman destroy our country to keep his title & fancy office.

Marco Rubio is son of Cubans who moved to the US during the 1950s. He was born when they were not citizens.

His grandfather came with no visa and had worked for Castro. He was allowed to stay. And now he’s trying to deport people like his parents & grandfather

–

Meanwhile heard at a travel industry event last night from a Hawaii hotel Air Canada had a planned event flying many of top Canadian travel agents to Maui. They just canceled it. Inbound tourism brought USA over $250 billion in 2024. 2025 dropoff needs to be bigger story.

–

So is Trump’s new plan to tariff pharmacteuticals tied to his plan to gut social security? Figuring that millions of Americans will just die before they try to collect benefits?

–

As Press Secretary Barbie explains the Musk-Navarro conflict as boys being boys… While their conflict/game affects and is destroying real lives Shakespeare’s line comes to mind. “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport.”

–

Pretty bipartisan group: Klobuchar (D-MN), Cantwell (D-WA) Grassley (R-IA) Moran (R-KS), Murkowski (R-AK), Warner (D-VA) McConnell (R-KY), Bennet (D-CO), Tillis (R-NC) & Welch (D-VT) introduce Trade Review Act of 2025, to restore congressional oversight over Trump’s tariff taxes.

How bad does it have to get for other Republicans to join them?

Meanwhile, while the bond market colllapses, Fox News headline: “Trump says he would be ‘gracious’ if Xi Jinping attempts to negotiate a deal” Yeah, like King Charles I was going to be gracious with Oliver Cromwell.

–

Sometimes you read something and you’re SURE it’s satire.

Nope, JD Vance actually said “We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.” Meanwhile over in Greenland they’re saying “We hated him first!”

Would like to propose we refer to today – April 9 – as Orange Wednesday.

Wrong turn

April 8, 2025


As the biggest payroll in baseball Los Angeles Dodgers appeared at the White House today while our stock market craters, would it be wrong as an SF Giants fan to hope #ETTD?

(And LA then did go out and lost to the the Nationals.)

–

Donold couldn’t resist swipping at California’s Senators when the Los Angeles Dodgers visited today.

Imagine if when the 2016 Super Bowl Champions Denver Broncos came to the White House President Obama had taken the time to insult and refuse to acknowledge by name Colorado GOP Senator Cory Gardner.

But that wouldn’t have happened. because Barack is not a petty little b*tch.

–

We are about 14 months away from the World Cup at this point. Leaving aside tourists wanting to go somewhere else, Why would any young man who isn’t blond hair and blue-eyed risk coming here?


At this point how many other countries would back Greenland or Canada in trying to annex the United States?

–

Anyone remember Trump during the campaign talking about an economic revolution and the pain we’d all have to go through for his vision?

Me neither.

–


Even as a political junkie I somehow missed the 2024 Trump campaign slogan “Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.”

–

In 17th & 18th century England, wreckers took valuables from ships that ran aground in Devon & Cornwall. Some claimed that wreckers actually decoyed ships with lights to crash into the coast.

Those stories may be myths, but what Trump & his buddies are doing to wreck the US economy IS deliberate.

–

A garment worker in Vietnam makes $200-300 a month.

Someone who makes shoes in China makes $400-600 a month

People who put together iPhones in China make about $3.00 a hour.

But yeah, tell me how we’re going to move manufacturing to the US.

–

On Twitter, Maga trolls and bots posting near identical posts accusing Democrats of being pro slave labor in response to anyone pointing out how much less manufacturing salaries are overseas.

Yet in the US, Republicans want not to raise the minimum wage and make child labor legal.

–

Amy Coney Barrett is an anti-choice conservative SCOTUS justice

But she is not apparently a monster.

So MAGA is big mad at her.

Seems sadly on brand.

–

Why isn’t media hammering this point?

Could Trump demand El Salvador return innocent man? Perhaps not.

Could he ask? Yes. And why wouldn’t President of El Salvador do a favor for his good friend?

Donold wants to make all deportations, even of innocent people, irrevocable.

–

GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, who got rich by bringing us car alarms, now has No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA) act which would limit district court judges’ ability to issue orders blocking Trump policies nationwide. Funny, GOP didn’t mind when district judges blocked Biden policies.

–

We’ve had recession and depressions. Can we start calling this a Trumpression?

–

The market has circuit breakers. It is a shame the USA doesn’t have circuit breakers that would trigger an election.

Opening Daze

April 5, 2025

Yes, it ain’t gonna last but

About 10 days into the season who had the only 1 loss teams in MLB being the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants?

Now all of you liars put your hands down.

–

You know it’s been a rough March Madness for Cinderellas when America is shocked by two lesser #1 seeds beating higher #1 seats in the Final Four

–

–

Something we can all do w/ media failing us; talk to other Americans. Was in Safeway, clerk & guy in front of me talking Easter & high-priced eggs. Brought up Cinco de Mayo. “It won’t just be tequila & Mexican beer; did you know 90% of avocados sold in US were grown in Mexico?”

They didn’t. They do now.


This should be a bigger story. It’s not that some liberal reporter found out Donald is golfing after destroying Americans’ savings; it was the official WHITE HOUSE statement. Bragging about his win.

A White House statement, per pool just now: “The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

–


Lindsey Graham was actually on Senate floor Friday now talking about supporting our military. Can someone ask Senator Graham on camera why DonOld prioritized golfing with Saudis over the dignified transfer of fallen US soldiers last night? And VP Vance was too busy doing… something?

–

Seriously. Vance had time to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on a stunt trip to Greenland, but he couldn’t make it to Dover Air Force base in Delaware?

—

Meanwhile….while not sure anyone else in the Senate has the stamina of former Stanford football player Cory Booker, Senate Democrats were standing up all day until 3a talking about the Trump Tariff tax and what damage this billionaire tax cut budget will do to average Americans.

–

Chuck Schumer thanked cloakroom staffers for late night efforts, while GOP passes 2025 billionaire budget plan, a simple fact: Even as a visitor to go to Senate gallery, ALL electronic devices, even fitbits, must be put in Senate cloakroom. And yet DOD plans wars on Signal

–

Laura Loomer is now in charge of personnel decisions at the White House? I’m so old I remember when most Americans were appalled that Nancy Reagan was letting her astrologer influence Presidential polic

–

Well well, even Fox News took notice: “Thousands” however? There were thousands of protests. Total protester number well over a million. Maybe multiple millions. “Dem slams Trump as ‘economy-crashing dictator’ while thousands protest against MAGA agenda.”

–

Now some GOP saying “just wait a few months.” What about people planning to retire now, what about people laid off who need to access their savings NOW, what about people planning to use stock funds to pay for their children’s college? Why does GOP hate everyone who isn’t rich?

Good and bad seeds

April 4, 2025

As the men’s final four starts Friday night, not only has Cinderella left the building, the step sisters have gone with her. Four number one seeds left.

And this is largely because NIL money means top teams can just fill in their rosters by offering money to players from small market teams to join them.

–

Remember those days when one-and-done made the NCAA feel like an NBA minor league?

Now the whole thing feels like major league baseball.

–

And speaking of the Dodgers

Meanwhile over in baseball, the half billion dollar payroll Los Angeles Dodgers put Freddie Freeman on the IL after his ankle injury from falling in the shower. So what high-priced star from a small-market team will the Dodgers trade for to replace him?

–

Remember how Trump ordered all federal employees back to office and said no more remote work? Then he hightails it out of DC Thursday after instituting Trump Tariff Tax, and after his Saudi golf event will be at his resort Friday. Though maybe he isn’t even pretending to work?

–


For all those who cheer at the idea of privatizing social security… How’s your 401K doing today?

–

If your 401k is invested in a stock market index, you lost about 5% of it Thursday. And it’s down about 8% since President Biden left office. Are we great yet?

–

“Lululemon produces around 3.5 percent of its goods in the US.” You never know what might be the tipping point for suburban women who voted for Trump to regret their decision….

–

Agriculture Secretary Rollins -We understand there may be a “A short time of uncertainty.” Well the Great Depression “only” lasted 10 years.

–

So supposedly because a few trans girls play sports in Maine and because Governor Janet Mills won’t apologize to Donold, Trump has decided to freeze social security contracts and child nutrition for the whole state. Pro life my ass.

–

Remember being in college and couldn’t imagine how Jim Jones got 900 people to drink cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. I don’t wonder anymore. Cults are cults.

The best of teams the worst of teams.

April 3, 2025

Dodgers are now 8-0 after a comeback win against the lowly (0-7) Atlanta Braves.

Max Muncy “It feels like this clubhouse is carrying a little bit of the attitude we had last year that we’re never out of a game and we’re resilient, and we’ve been carrying it into this season… the guys don’t give up. Bad things have happened, and no one’s really been down or out.”

“Resilence?””

Because we know that our competitive balance tax payroll will be estimated $393.75 million?? Before trades.

(about as much as the bottom five MLB payroll team put together)

Meanwhile, speaking of the bottom teams.

The former Oakland As , and probably future Las Vegas As just finished their home opening series against the Cubs.

They lost three games 3-18, 4-7 and 2-10.

It’s a minor league ballpark. And they are doing their best to play like a minor league team.

On the other hand, the team refused to put “Sacramento” in their name. Which these days the city of Sacramento has to feel pretty good about. At least their AAA team (the rivercats) is respectable.

–

Amy Klobuchar tonight w/ Lawrence O’Donnell “tourism is down 70% from Canada.” “People are pissed off.” Sen. Klobuchar doesn’t usually use that phrase, but Canadians don’t normally get that pissed off.

–

Wonder why Fox News viewers act brainwashed? Donald Trump wandered off the stage today and had to be reminded to sign his tariff executive orders.

What’s the Fox headline? “Top Biden aide describes ‘out of it’ president before Trump debate.”

–

Well well Yes the House is recalcitrant at best. But four GOP Senators actually stood up to Trump on tariffs on Canada.

– It’s a start.

—

So the President’s top campaign donor may be leaving DOGE and Donold’s inner circle. Would we say Elon’s being thrown not under the bus but under the Cybertruck?

–

People do sometimes vote for higher taxes to get a fairer systems. And I get it, if you’re comfortably off it’s easier. But many Trump voters voted purely for their own self-interest. They’re about to find out “A tariff is a tax.” is not just a Democratic talking point.

–

Meanwhile, coming soon to the GOP House Circus – new representative Randy Fine. Who won a Florida deep red district by about half the margin Trump had.

GOP Ron DeSantis said he nominated Fine for FAU president because “he repelled people in the (GOP led) state legislature. They wanted to get him out of the legislature, so they asked me to put him up for Florida Atlantic president”

Pass the popcorn.

On Wisconsin

April 2, 2025

Cory Booker will be 56 years old this month. So other Generation X, along with Millennials, and Gen Z, don’t EVER want to hear from you that you are too tired to vote.

–

I feel for whoever is on ketchup cleanup duty tonight at the White House.

Is Trump going to try to put tariffs on Wisconsin cheese now?

–


Brad Schimel conceded, urging his supporters to accept the results.

Attacks by Trump and Musk on right wing Republican Schimel as a RINO in 3.2.1..

–

–

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. But today definitely feels like a turning point. Wouldn’t it be perfect if the high-water mark of the Trump Presidency was the morning of April Fool’s Day?

–

Cory Booker closing: “Power of people is greater than the people in power.

John Lewis wouldn’t know how to solve it, but he’d go out & “cause good trouble, necessary trouble.

And “let’s redeem the soul of America.”

This is a moral moment. Let’s get in good trouble. I yield the floor”

–


Senate Democrats – joyfully supporting Cory Booker standing up for average Americans as he broke Strom Thummond’s filibuster record.

House GOP sent home by Mike Johnson after rejecting his refusal to let new parents vote by proxy.

Rich get richer

March 31, 2025

Both March Madness final fours are set.

And U Conn, a #2 seed, is the closest thing to a Cinderella left in the tournament.

All four mens teams and three of the other four women’s teams are #1 seeds.

–

Owner John Fisher could have had the As play in Oakland until if and when the Las Vegas stadium is built. Instead, he insisted the team move to the 14,000 capacity Sutter Heath Field in Sacramento.

Where it will be triple digit temperatures for much of the summer.

In a likely metaphor for the season, the A’s lost their season home opener, 18 to 3.

–

Hey Green Bay Wisconsin. No billionaire could pay you enough to root against the Packers. Why would you let a billionaire buy your Supreme Court vote?

–

Serious thought. Can believe Trump absolutely has no plans to leave the White House after his second term. But if he has dementia, as his father did, it will get worse and impossible to ignore before 2028. Then what?

Media: Democrats really need to do a better job of getting their message out.

Also media: Oooh, Velveeta Voldemort or his top campaign donor said something insane, let’s devote all our airtime/space to covering it.

Chris Murphy and Andy Kim (so far) joining Cory Booker tonight on Senate floor as Senator Booker continues his speech into the night to protest Trump/Doge administration policies. It’s not that we don’t have good Democratic leaders. But they don’t get the coverage that the other side’s crazies get.

–

Cory Booker’s been speaking for over 7 hrs & he’s doing far better job of explaining why Social Security is NOT a Ponzi scheme than Musk does at any time lying about it. Put simply, Booker is explaining how every insurance needs adjustments. & changes needed would be negligible.

Standings

March 30, 2025

Two games into the season, the Chicago White Sox, at 1-1, are tied for the lead in the AL Central. High watermark of 2025?

–

After the NHL worst San Jose Sharks lost 6-1 to the NY Rangers, the Rangers team bus apparently backed into Macklin Celebrini’s car in the parking lot.

Talk about a metaphor for the season.

Alysa Liu, a 19 year old who has already retired and come back, makes me feel old. But her winning the Figure Skating World Championship to the music of Donna Summer (MacArthur Park) makes me feel young!

–

Velveeta Voldemort even wants to attack what he perceives as wokeness at the Smithsonian National Zoo. What’s he going to do at the zoo? Have Jr lead monthly hunting days?

–

Trump won Stefanik’s district by 30 percentage points last November. So if things are going as well as DonOld claims, why is he worried about losing Elise’s seat?

–

RFK Jr. claimed “COVID was disease that attacked the sick, as w/ all infectious diseases.” Per NY Times 2021 study of Covid mortality in 560,000 people found roughly 30% of Covid deaths occurred in patients w/o underlying diseases. And does RFK Jr consider being over 65 “sick?

–

I guess we were warned. Amy Klobuchar in 2020 on Trump. “He blames everyone for everything that happened: Obama, head of Federal Reserve, generals… He blames entire kingdom of Denmark. Who does that? He recently went after prime minister of Canada…

–

J.D. Vance says he went with his wife Usha to “check out what’s goin’ on with the security there of Greenland.” Based on the Signal debacle this week how long until Greenland sends visitors to see whats going on with the security of the USA?

–

One of the troll message about Social Security these day that we should all have been able to do our own investing. Rather ironic as the stock market is falling today and is down about 5% this year since DonOld took office.

–

Learned something from the twitter bot troll farm today. Trump’s biggest campaign donor’s latest big lie is telling Americans that Social Security is about to fall apart. So when DOGE destroys it they can shrug & say, would have happened anyway.

–

Colin Jost mocked the Signal cluster f*ck by referencing “my Aunt Janice’s texting skills.” As a semi-luddite who is several people’s aunt want to say there is no way I – or most of my friends who are aunts -would be anywhere near that stupid while texting.

–

Does anyone else think Trump might drop all his tariffs if someone figures out how to give him a Medal of Honor and Five Stars to wear on his blazer in advance of Liberation Day?

–

Another close call near National Airport, between Air Force plane & Delta plane. Crickets on Fox News.

Also not mentioned on Fox, 4 US soldiers missing & presumed dead in Lithuania.

And they’ve moved on from Signal debacle.

Nor do they hear about Pete Hegseth bringing his wife to meetings involving sensitive information with foreign diplomats.

Fox doesn’t think their viewers can handle the truth

–

As Musk tries to bribe Wisconsin voters with $100 payouts and a million dollar bonus for a few, your reminder that in Georgia GOP outlawed handing water to anyone waiting in line to vote.

–


If I were in Wisconsin and a South Africian billionaire was trying to buy our election, I’d be pretty cheesed off.

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

March 27, 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…

Fall of Troy

March 25, 2025

Small victories.

Stanford football coach Troy Taylor has been fired.

Yes, I predicted before Friday of this week.

–

Does anyone know where Aaron Rodgers will sign?

More to the point, does anybody care?

–


Now the FBI has launched a Tesla vandalism task force

If only Republicans cared as much about protecting children, seniors and veterans as much as they care about protecting Teslas.

–

Number one question for SIRI today from Washington Republicans?

“How do you immediately delete Signal records?”

Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson says no one should be fired over an “errant number” on a text thread. Uh, how about someone being fired for having that conversation on Signal in the first place?

–

Something else not getting enough attention. NOTHING on group chat like “Hey, how does this work? or “Thanks for suggesting this.”

Short version: Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbad, Vance had used Signal often before. Seems although illegal it was their preferred method of communication

–

CNN headline “Top intel officials shift responsibility on to Hegseth for sending potentially classified info to Yemen strike group chat.” Maybe even most of the MAGA Trump cabinet can’t stand him either?

–

Why is J.D. Vance really going to Greenland? My money’s on “avoiding US media after his involvement in the Signal fiasco.”

–

Trump yesterday called George Clooney a ‘second-rate movie star’ Uh, Donold… George has two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, four Golden Globe Awards, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards. Somebody is a widdle bit jealous.

–

Wonder how many new subscriptions the Atlantic is getting due to Velveeta Voldemort’s insults?

Falling stars

March 25, 2025

This sucks. Period. Not a USC fan but Juju Watkins is one of the best basketball players in the country.

And a reason many Americans were planning to tune into the women’s tournament. Especially the expected Juju matchup up against UC Conn’s Paige Bueckers.

She just tore her ACL. Hoping for a quick recovery

–

Yes, it can be fun. But five of the most useless words in sports:


“The Giants won spring training.”

–

Donold’s response about war plan text chain debacle:

“I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time. I am not a big fan of the Atlantic.”

He is laser focused on a five year old portrait he doesn’t like…but doesn’t know about his DOD’s own war plans?

–

Some Democrats have demanded Chuck Schumer resign from Senate leadership since he backtracked & agreed to keep goverment open.

Have ANY GOP demanded Pete Hegseth resign over putting National security at risk with planning a bombing mission on unsecured Signal app? I’ll wait.

–

Senator Mark Warner on the Signal group chat cluster f*ck “This crowd is not ready for prime-time” Understatement of the year.

–

Fox News Jesse Watters’ “We’ve all texted the wrong person before?”

True. Sometimes the mistake is worse than others. Can break up a marriage or lose you a job. (both have happened to people I know.) But most of us don’t have sensitive security clearances and aren’t planning to bomb another country.

–

Senator Mark Kelly points out they were so casual on that group chat about bombing Yemen that it was as if they were ordering a pizza. Next are we gonna find out the pizza delivery guy was included on the text chain too?

Everyone screaming at Democrats “do something” and “speak out…” They are speaking out. (Many Senators on TV and social media.)

–

We don’t have the votes nor the gavels. GOP has to remember the oaths they took – or where they put their spines, and start investigation…

–

Did Velveeta Voldemort make DeJoy resign today as postmaster general because as much as DeJoy has damaged the post office Biden still won the 2020 election and Don can’t forgive him allowing that to happen?

Pretty clear Trump wants to destroy the post office. But he’s making it as popular as it was in Miracle on 34th Street.

–

Under the radar but a late February Executive Order banned all non-essential federal employee travel. “all non-essential travel” – but the President’s top campaign donor can fly around with him for golf and sportings events weekend. Got it.

–

As the Signal story gets wilder and wilder, who knew that 2025 would be the year we saw Dr. Strangelove remade as a documentary?

Trump wants green card applicants legally in US to hand over social media profiles. Does anyone think this will stop at green card applicants?

We’ve all had good friends who end up marrying someone we hate and at least temporarily it turns them into a different person we don’t want to be around anymore. As far as the rest of the free world feels, the United States has become that friend.

Before midnight

March 24, 2025

One #10 seed left.- Arkansas

But sure looks like Cinderella took an Uber home early from this year’s NCAA March Madness.

–

Derik Queen with the biggest buzzer beater shot of the NCAA tournament.

It won the game for his home state school of Maryland to beat Colorado State 72-21.

When Queen was asked postgame “Where does that confidence come from? “I’m from Baltimore, that’s why.”

–

Who says there’s no good news these days. Coach Rick Pitino’s team was upset and is out of the NCAA tournament.

–

ACA’s 15th anniversary today. If you’re 26 or younger & on your parents’ healthcare. Or if your children or grandchildren or friends or friends of friends are 26 or younger and still on parents’ healthcare. Thank Democrats & President Obama!

–

Same MAGA trolls telling us Americans have nothing to worry about with Medicaid /Medicare are the same ones that told us Project 2025 was a myth and immigrants in the US legally could stay here.

Trump buddy Steve Witkoff on Ukraine: “There’s a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories,. I just don’t see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe … I take him as his word.”


Remember when we thought George W Bush’s comment about Putin “I looked into his eyes and got a sense of his soul” was as bad as it could be?

–

Trumpty Dumpty is actually soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll. No grift too small.

–

The Pentagon just announced leak probe that will include polygraphs. While they’re at it how about a polygraph for Secretary Hegseth about his sister-in-law’s and others’ accusations?

–

Fox News seldom covers anything that makes Democrats look good, But if you want to know when Donald & his biggest campaign donor have really gone too far,, look for what they don’t cover. Like tonight, no mention on Fox website about JD attacking Denmark as “not a good ally.”,

Opening daze

March 22, 2025

Blink if you missed it.

MLB opening day was actually two days ago, instead of next week, as the games that the Dodgers and Cubs played in Tokyo actually counted it.

But no one except REALLY rich people could afford to go, and most of the USA had no way to watch.

Maybe metaphor for the country as a whole?

–

RIP George Foreman, only 76. Not a boxing fan but he was one of the greatest. Wonder how many millennials think of him as as the grill man?

–

–

So Trump plan is to stop social security checks and then go after those who complain as fraudsters? This is like in Salem when they would throw a woman into the river and if she survived she was a witch and if she drowned she was innocent.

–


Hey Wisconsin, if Elon Musk is willing to talk time out from his busy schedule of dismantling our federal democracy to spend milliions in a state Supreme Court race, Then you know he wants to dismantle democracy at a state level too.

But seriously, if you to have a foreign billionaire who couldn’t find your state on a map have to pay people $100 to vote for your candidate in a state Supreme Court election then you don’t have a very good candidate.

–

Rachel Maddow brings up possibility Trump may have told truth that he did not set up a meeting at the Pentagon to talk about war plans with China. & that “his biggest campaign donor” may have done that on his own… & that NY Times story ended that little freelance plan Hmm…

–

When Velveeta Voldemort said he was getting rid of DEI

Who knew he meant Democracy

Education

Intelligence?

And the madness begins.

March 21, 2025

Wonder if more people would vote if we could somehow put candidates into brackets before the primaries and have online and office pools.

Thought for the morning: May our troubles last as long as our perfect brackets.

–

So has Donald Trump already announced that he had a perfect March Madness bracket and won the White House pool?

–

Donald Trump’s response to losing ANYTHING, from an election to a court case, is to accuse the other side of cheating or being “crooked” He can’t even accept losing in golf. Imagine rooting for a sports team that declares themselves undefeated & all losses to be illegal.

–

Point of fact… Judge Boasberg, who Velveeta Voldemort, Leon and the right wing call a“Democrat activist,” was originally appointed by President George W. Bush. Yeah, the same as MAGA’s beloved SCOTUS judge Alito.

–

Rachel Maddow covering Trump publishing unredacted papers on JFK Assassination. Redacted parts turned out to be personal details including social security numbers & birthdates for everyone involved. Many were young at time & are still alive. The “King” is a clown Prince.

–

In Georgia, Republicans stopped people from offering WATER to people waiting in line to vote because they considered it buying votes. Elon Musk’s PAC is now offering $100 to Wisconsin voters to sign a petition against “activist judges.”

–

So much insanity nonstop things like this barely make news: “Administration quietly rescinded order blocking major Dominican sugar producer w/ ties to Trump from shipping sugar to USA because of allegations of forced labor at company.” Donold wants a servant class here too.

–

Apparently Minnesota Senate GOP will move to expel Sen. Justin Eichorn after his arrest for allegedly seeking sex from a 16 year old girl. So yes, Virginia, there are still Republicans with SOME scruples.

–


Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn, who wanted to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, has now resigned after being arrested for soliciting a 16 year old girl for sex.

Wonder if Donald will pardon him and offer Eichorn a job?

Working on brackets

March 20, 2025

More political stuff tomorrow.

It takes some work to make sure that you aren’t forgetting any mascots for your cat brackets.

Cold as ice

March 19, 2025

WTF? ESPN reports Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin today discussed NHL-KHL hockey games. (KHL is the Russian hockey league.)

Just Say Nyet.

–

This was the 1972 Summit Series. Anyone in Canada at the time remembers it.

Now much of American knows what it feels like to be aligned with Team Canada against Russia

–

Elon Musk gave an interview tonight from the White House lawn. Ah for the days when the Secret Service stopped dangerous people from entering the grounds.

–

Legacy media is failing us. Democrats ARE speaking out. But none of us have time to amplify them all.

Challenge for my fellow Dems.

Pick few politicians you respect.

Even better if they’re not the most well known.

Amplify what they say and do.

Together we can be the media!

–

Rachel Maddow points out that Trump is talking about Canada the way Putin talks about Ukraine….

Even the 49.8% percent of people who voted for Velveeta Voldemort probably didn’t imagine this.

–

California Rep. Eric Swalwell: “Donald Trump promised to bring prices down on Day 1.

It’s been 58 days, & he’s found time to go to Super Bowl & Daytona 500. How many times do you think he’s actually stepped foot in a grocery store?”

–

Chief Justice John Roberts. “For now than two centuries it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.” Dr. Frankenstein is not happy with his monster.


So how long until Trump says to impeach SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts?

·

Rachel Maddow had a video of the “Piedmont Raging Grannies” – yes, actual little old ladies – mocking Thom Tillis in song and it might be the best thing I’ve seen all week.

Link from a Twitter pal –

And finally, if you hadn’t heard that MAGA GOP Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn was arrested for allegedly trying to solicit a 16 year old girl for sex…. well you have something in coming with Fox News viewers.

Apparently protecting girls and women doesn’t include protecting them from white Republican “family values” men – Eichorn is married and has young children.

By the time you read this

March 18, 2025

The first MLB game of 2025, between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs, will be over.

It’s in Tokyo.

Ticket prices starting about $2500-3000 for the “cheap seats.” Seems fitting for a game featuring the highest payroll in baseball. And maybe fitting for Opening Day for “America’s pastime” now that America is being run by the billionaire boys club…

–

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers is still trying to decide where he will attempt to play in 2025.

And many fans of the Vikings, Steelers, Giants etc are remembering that old game “Hot Potato.” Loser is the one holding it last.

–

Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt talks about DonOld’s “very busy weekend in Florida.” “Very busy?” How many rounds of golf did he play?

–

–

·

Very few things in Washington DC are universally popular. But everyone loveso, or rather did love the Kennedy Center. #ETTD

–

Velveeta Voldemort wants to make sure the next Kennedy Center Honors ALL go to him doesn’t he?

–

Fox News actually has a headline. “Why do anti-Trump judges always seem to get his cases?” Aileen Cannon has entered the chat.

–

Why aren’t more Democrats calling DOGE cuts to Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, along with downplaying and not updating vaccines, what they really are? GOP Death Panels

Retail sales were much lower than expected in February. “Siri, tell me today’s story you will never hear on Fox News.


Also, media’s spending time covering alleged gang members being deported.

Much less time on stories about 10 yr-old US Citizen with brain cancer being deported with her family, or Trump voter whose wife is being detained. Democrats need to change the narrative. Seriously.

Rachel Maddow talks on Trump/DOGE plan to send 75,000-85,000 elderly & disabled Social Security recipients a week into forced appointments at already understaffed field offices. Not just that, these would be elderly/disabled who can’t navigate or don’t have access to the internet. The cruelty is the point.

–

Musk claims DOGE people are working 120 hours a week. Leaves 48 hours a week for commuting, eating, shower/bath sleeping…

Leaving their health aside, one thing we all know. At some point with lack of sleep EVERYONE makes stupid decisions.

Dart board dart board, who’s got a dartboard?

March 16, 2025

So uh, why is UNC in the tournament, other than they are UNC?

This year many picks will be as arbitrary as DOGE firing.

–

I’ll do some guessing. But it’s clearly time for another cat bracket.

–

Remember when Putin in 2019 scored 9 goals in a Russia hockey exhibtion?

Trump’s winning his own golf club championship is like that.

–


MD Governor Wes Moore last night at Gridiron Dinner referencing the infamous Trump, Zelenskky, Vance, Rubio Oval Office meeting “Speaking of couches, “I hear JD Vance was supposed to be here tonight. But I heard he pulled out at the last minute.”

–

Attacking Habitat for Humanity is pure and simple Velveeta Voldemort’s revenge on Jimmy Carter for being beloved. It all makes sense if you view everything through the lens of petty revenge.

–

Many diseases that used to be fatal are curable now. Treatment for cancers have been improving by leaps and bounds. And for much of that we thank NIH & university research. Now Muskrat wants to put brakes on. Does he think cancer and other diseases don’t affect rich people

–

So if you and your family are not powerful, you can be completely innocent and get deported this and never allowed back in the country. Unlike the Tate brothers who are guilty but well connected.

–

Media in general is not reporting on anti-Trump, anti-DOGE protests.

Fox News in particular is not reporting on death toll from storms this weekend, now over 40, all in red states. While DOGE cuts NOAA/National Weather Service. I wonder why?

–

President Biden helped all 50 states, even if they didn’t vote for him, without blame. Where is Donold, who attacked California, on these horrific fires in Oklahoma?

–

Donald Trump won in 2024. But his entire second term focus seems to be revenge against America for not voting for him in 2020.

–

So it takes a special kind of chutzpah to tell a sovereign country – Denmark = you want to take their terrority – Greenland, but, by the way, will you sell us eggs? What’s next? Will Trump ask for eggs from Canada?

–

Nothing official – but some Canadians have a plan to stop Trump’s tariff insanity: Block a certain website in the US – Canadian-owned Pornhub.

Talk about hitting below the belt.

–

Headline:- “Did Southwest make a big mistake?” My feeling on charging for bags, .Yes. Mistake made because Elliott Investment Management, Florida hedge fund now has 11% stake in airline. They will destroy Southwest & sell pieces for parts. As hedge funds do to companies.
