The World Cup is over. So most Americans can get back to ignoring soccer again.

–

Brazil is already the favorite for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. What are the odds the 2022 World Cup HAPPENS in Qatar.

–

Congratulation to France on their World Cup win. But 4-2? Was the ball juiced?

–

Washingon Nationals, who fired Dusty Baker last fall, lose 2-3 of to Mets and limp into the All-Star break at.  500. Once again people don’t appreciate how good a black leader was until he’s gone.

–

Cardinals Manager Mike Matheny fired for being 1 game over .500. Mets fans wonder if he was fired for overachieving.

–

New slogan? “Call Papa John’s, don’t slave over a hot stove.”   #Bustohell

–

So latest video of someone calling cops on a street vendor has gone viral & resulted in #PermitBetty losing her job.
Amazing, not that people can be a**holes, but that some haven’t figured out everyone else has a cellphone camera.

It’s costing over $6,000,000 for security for Trump’s visit to Scotland. So he can play golf and promote his failing Turnberry resort. Well, this ought to make the place even MORE attractive to locals….

–

Scottish police are looking for paraglider who flew over Turnberry with a “Trump Well Below Par #Resist” sign. No doubt Scottish people will then be looking for him too, to pay for legal expenses.

–

William and Charles refused to meet with Trump at Windsor Castle. So IF Trump outlives Queen Elizabeth, will he refer to one of them as #FakeKing?

–

As Trump praises Kim Jong Un & publicly says of Putin “maybe he’ll be a friend,” this headline from Fox News this am. “Trump slams ‘difficult’ European Union on trade, calls 28-nation bloc ‘a foe’ of US.”
State TV at it’s finest.

–

The Capital Gazette murders were less than three weeks ago, and @realDonaldTrump is tweeting “our news media is indeed the enemy of the people….”

–

Trump tweet “Received many calls from leaders of NATO countries thanking me for helping to bring them together and to get them focused on financial obligations, both present & future. ”

Calls from NATO leaders, or the voices in his head?

–

So where are the commemorative coins for the #TreasonSummit

–

TC can’t wait for Trump to tell Putin “that he was a big fan of John Lenin and The Beatles.”

Marc Ragovin  – “New Country Motto: “Thailand. Where We Reunite Children With Their Parents”

Serena Williams almost died after giving birth, 10 months later she’s the Wimbledon runner-up. Weaker sex my ass.

Giants ended up scoring 7 runs against As.  But early in the game had to ask, so does a run balked in count as an #SFGiants 2018 offensive explosion?

–

Chase Utley, 39, is retiring.  “So young?”  responded Jamie Moyer.

This is shaping up to be the most successful witch hunt since Dorothy dropped a house on one and melted another.

–

Regarding “coincidence” that Russia started hacking DNC emails on same day Trump supposedly joked “Russia, if you’re listening…”
We all should know by now, Trump doesn’t have a sense of humor.

–

So Jim Jordan, the man accused by at least 11 college wrestlers of looking away while they were abused, is reportedly going after Rosenstein, a fellow Republican, for NOT looking away while our democracy was abused.

–

Anderson beats Isner in six hour & 36 minute Wimbledon semifinals
Curiously enough, “over six hours,” is probably how long Queen Elizabeth will say her tea with Trump felt like.

–

The Queen looked happier announcing Charles and Diana’s divorce #TrumpVisitUK

–

Give @realDonaldTrump credit, even on a week where he goes to a NATO Summit & meets Queen Elizabeth, he still manages to arrange a taxpayer funded weekend of golf.

Trump tweeted “have arrived in Scotland and will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf – my primary form of exercise!
“Hopefully” some golf? Talk about #FakeNews And he uses a cart….

–

Who says Trump can’t draw a crowd?

In the minor leagues, teams have started using a new rule where starting in the 10th, a runner would be stationed on second base to begin each inning.  And apparently it’s getting popular as a way to shorten games.  Hmm, how long until fans beg this to happen with the Mets.

–

The Hall of Fame says they won’t acknowledge Terrell Owens at all during the induction ceremony he plans to boycott.  I don’t care, do u?

–

I miss the days when being an ugly American abroad just meant carrying an over-sized camera and wearing sandals with socks.

Trump today talked about “people in the UK – Scotland, Ireland…. ”
Time to score the Irish space in Trump insult bingo.

–

Trump in @TheSun interview “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.”
And hundreds of cities around world going “How do we order a #TrumpBabyblimp?

Trump said he’d run into school to face an armed killer. He won’t even take a limo through streets of London to face a 20-ft tall balloon. @TrumpBabyUK

–

Trump tweeted out “Great success today at NATO!” Right, like Custer had great success at the Battle of Little Big Horn.

–

Damn, anyone else now wish Sasha Baron Cohen had reached Trump to ask him for advice on how to hit on women?

–

Wonder what Brett Kavanaugh might have texted about Hillary Clinton?

–

–

So tomorrow under oath will all members of the House Judiciary Committee say if they have lied to THEIR spouses?

–

So he had an affair. But how many women besides me after today still believe #PeterStrzok lies far less than most GOP members of Congress?

–

Right about now you KNOW there is a former mistress of someone on House Judiciary Committee who was sickened by today’s hypocrisy…. If she’s thinking of going public – well You Go Girl!

After their loss to Croatia, England was fined $70K after players wore ‘unauthorized socks.’ This is FIFA’s way of showing they are real football?

–

Giants scored four runs in the first today, then none until the 13th.  The team had a slumber party for fans on the field after today’s game.. This was not meant as an invitation for Giants offense to get a head-start.

–

Buster Posey had the game winning RBI in the 13th,  maybe he decided no way he was spending ANY more time in catcher’s crouch.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh apparently had “tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt” over past decade from buying Nationals season & playoff tickets. Well, good for him Nats never made the World Series.

–

Wait a minute, who knew they were ALLOWED to score in the 1st five minutes of a World Cup game?

–

Damn, England loses World Cup semi. Could the week get any worse. Oh, Trump is arriving tomorrow. Never mind.

–

Asked about World Cup & Wimbledon finals overlapping, Roger Federer replied “I’m more concerned the World Cup final will have issues because the Wimbledon final is going on.”
Well, now Roger has time to watch both.

–

Papa John CEO John Schnatter  resigned today. For being racist enough to use the N-word? Or for being stupid enough to use it on a conference call?

–

From @TheAtlantic – ICE spends more than $2 billion a year on jails, & about 70% percent of that goes to private contractors. Follow the money.

–

Senate has overwhelming passed two resolutions condemning Trump on trade and NATO. So are non-binding resolutions the new #ThoughtsAndPrayers?

Forget military parade. Does Queen Elizabeth II have a picture at Windsor Castle she could show Trump of Charles I?

-Europeans watching NATO summit “USA is DEFINITELY not sending us their best.”

–

“Germany is a captive of Russia.”
I guess we should give @realDonaldTrump credit for saying this stuff with a straight face.

–

Trump’s opening remarks at NATO. This is not SNL cold open.
“Good morning, everybody. Good morning to the media — the legitimate media and the fake-news media. Good morning to them. A lot of good people here. Surprising.”

–

From Marc Ragovin  “New Country Motto: “Thailand. Where We Reunite Children With Their Parents”

Pommes frites are originally Belgian anyway.  But in Brussels will they start boycotting  the name French Fries?

–

1-0 World Cup games are incredibly exciting for fans of the teams involved. But just guessing they don’t create many new American soccer fans.

SF Giants  been playing much of the last two weeks like they are trying to hang on and win with penalty kicks.

On a brighter note for Giants, Ray Black took his ERA down from 81 today to 20.

–

Apparently new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper is “contractually obligated” to keep 13-foot-high statue of Jerry Richardson outside stadium. Is he allowed to cover it in pigeon feed?

–

Serena Williams is bad ass. That is all.

–

Orioles had comeback walkoff win against Yankees today, moving them to only 37.5 games out of first. Before the All-Star break.

–

–

From USA Today – Former OSU Wrestling coach Russ Hellickson said he told Dr. some athletes were “uncomfortable” with him showering with them, Strauss responded that Hellickson also showered with the athletes. “I said, ‘Not for an hour, Doc,’”
Hellickson also said he told him “‘When you’re doing weigh-ins, you’re too hands on, Doc.” But added there “didn’t appear to be a ‘red flag'” indicating that Strauss’ behavior amounted to abuse.”
Uh what WOULD have been a red flag? Seriously. #WTF?

–

Waiting for Trump saying if he’d been in Thailand he’d have swum into the cave to rescue those kids himself last week. #ThailandCaveRescue

–

So much twitter outrage over man telling woman with Puerto Rico t-shirt to go home. But travel agents have all been asked about passports and/or if they take US money in Hawaii. No joke.

–

We laugh at Sarah Palin for being tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen. But how often has Senator Susan Collins been tricked by GOP leadership

Trump venting on Europe being delinquent with NATO and needing to reimburse US. Like he himself needs to reimburse his private driver?

Time to get those Panda hats out of storage. #SFGiants

Speed don’t slump #AlenHanson #SFGiants

–

None of the top 10 seeded women are in Wimbledon quarterfinals. But 25th seeded Serena Williams is. #MomsRule

–

Hundreds of people have been sickened from parasite reportedly in Del Monte packaged vegetable trays sold at convenience stores like Kwik Trip.
And kids are going “See, mom, you should have let me just get Doritos.”

–

As he’s being sued for unpaid overtime,  really, wouldn’t it be bigger news at this point that @realDonaldTrump treated his personal driver fairly?

–

Trump tweeted today “I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will honor the contract we signed &, even more importantly, our handshake.”
And why should man who has pulled USA out of so many international deals not believe that North Korea would honor theirs?

So Trump now defending his deal with North Korea by saying any unraveling is China’s fault. Who knew diplomacy could be so complicated?

–

If Stephen Miller thinks the worst thing kitchen staff have done to him is to flip him off, he clearly has never worked in a restaurant.

–

Same man who rages in a tweet that Pfizer has raised drug prices has also raised prices at his Washington DC hotel to some of the highest in town.

–

Mitch McConnell was complaining today on the Senate floor about Democratic tactics to delay SCOTUS nominee. #WhyThereIsNoSatire

–

If Trump didn’t take ideology into account as he said, how come he only considered names given to him on a list by the Federalist Society? Asking for a country.

–

Trump does know that if Kavanaugh changes his mind on sitting President being indicted he can’t fire him…right?

Brett Kavanaugh says “no President has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from diverse backgrounds.” Right, all the way from one end of the Federalist Society list to the other.

White and whiter…

–

If Brett Kavanaugh really believes all nice things he’s saying about Trump then he should be voted down by the sad condition of having early-onset Alzheimer’s.

–

Actually, Brett Kavanaugh’s views are irrelevant. According to @SenateMajLdr , a #SCOTUS pick cannot be confirmed within 8 months of an election. So let’s take this all up again in January 2019.

–

From Trump fundraising email “Judge Kavanaugh will protect our religious liberties, uphold the rule of law, and interpret the Constitution as it was originally understood by our Founders.”
“Our founders” believed only men should vote and that we should own slav

And another 100,000 or so Panda hats today get dragged out of storage…. #PabloSandoval

–

Shohei Ohtani hit a 443 ft pinch-hit 7th inning home run to beat the Dodgers tonight.  And Madison Bumgarner, who got only a walk and a single and a win today for the Giants is no doubt p*ssed.

–

Now that Lebron has made his third decision to move on, Tyronn Lue will meet with Luke Walton in Vegas Monday for breakfast.  So will Lue warn Walton how much Luke might miss coaching?

–

Now a 7th accuser has come forward to say that Jim Jordan knew about the sexual abuse of wrestlers. So it’s basically now a “He said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said” situation.

–

Seen on a bottle of Korbel “California Champagne.”   – “Never use a corkscrew to open.”  Beam me up Scotty….

–

So silly that a woman called Steve Bannon a “Piece of Trash.” Trash can be very useful when recycled.

–

Justin Bieber is  engaged? I don’t care, do u?

Understand that many people might have a hard time locating Lexington, Virginia precisely on a map.
But some MAGAers attacking Red Hen restaurant over Sarah Sanders are trashing the Red Hen in… Napa, California? #cantfixstupid

–

First time Trump mentions Thai boys in cave is day they are being rescued – so he can take credit for US assisting with “brave and talented people.” #ThaiCaveRescue

–

If those boys in Thailand try to immigrate to US after their rescue Trump would accuse them of being gang members.

Tweeting out many clips of people saying he would never be President. Is this the moment when @realDonaldTrump became a 12-year-old boy acting Presidential?

Hereditary monarchy got England Queen Elizabeth II. Electoral college got USA Donald Trump. Maybe time to rethink that revolutionary war?

Waiting for Putin to declare that Russia won in the World Cup Electoral College.

–

Croatia on to World Cup semis. Probably not a good idea for the team to go out for a congratulatory tea tonight.

–

Not that @realDonaldTrump was watching World Cup.  But the tying goal for Russia late in extra-time was scored by Mario Fernandes  Latin American immigrant.

Watch Croatia goalie play much of a World Cup quarterfinal on one leg and a bad hamstring. Kind of puts more than a few on MLB’s DL to shame.

–

Arizona Diamondbacks scored 11 runs in first 3 innings against SD Padres Saturday night.  SF Giants  have scored 10 runs in last 5 games.

At what point does Giants offense show up on milk cartons?

–

According to GOP & Trump it’s worse locker room behavior for NFL players simply to stay there during anthem than for men to be there sexually assaulting college students or talking about sexually assaulting women.

So yeah, an all NATO World Cup Final Four. In Russia.

–

Amazing how thrice-married man sleeping with both a porn star and Playboy bunny (at least) during his current marriage is so obsessed with “FBI Lovers.”

–

At this point there’s enough evidence against Jim Jordan he’d be forced to resign even if he were a top football coach.

Judging by Republican reaction to #JimJordan, it wouldn’t have taken long for Roy Moore to be accepted by GOP Congress.

–

North Korea called out United States for “gangster-like mindset.”
That moment when a murderous dictatorship speaks more honestly than most of the US media.

–

Offered a lucrative endorsement contract for Ritz Carlton body lotion   #ReasonsScottPruittResigned

So over-under on how long it will take Trump to attack Bill Frist?

Dershowitz claims he is being treated worse for defending Trump than he was for defending O.J. Simpson. Well, O.J. only permanently separated two children from their mother.

Jenrry Mejia has been reinstated by MLB two years after being given a lifetime ban for PEDs. Because playing for the #Mets is punishment enough?

–

Tonight SF Giants scored more runs than any World Cup team scored goals.   Which would be more fun to write if it weren’t the first time all week.

–

And well, the World Cup is now down to the “Northern Hemisphere” Cup.

–

Who’s more nervous at time of writing this post?  Players for England, Sweden, Russian and Croatia?  Or refs who are calculating odds of calling penalty kicks against Russia and getting out of Moscow alive?

–

Who knew that a former assistant wrestling coach at OSU might end up more universally hated than Urban Meyer?

Jim Jordan now on his part in Ohio State wrestling doctor scandal – “conversations in a locker room are a lot different than allegations of abuse or reported abuse.”
In other words, it’s not sexual assault when it’s “locker room banter?’

Let’s put it a different way, if Ohio State allegations of ignoring sexual abuse were against ANY Democrat in Congress, GOP would be calling for immediate imprisonment after resignation.

–

Seriously at this point how racist AND stupid do you have to be to act out in public in a world where everyone is armed with a cellphone?

–

Not condoning hat stealing and drink tossing, but FELONY THEFT charges for guy who took teen’s MAGA hat & threw a soda at him?
In Texas the charges might be less if he shot a gun to scare the kid.

–

Trump says he can’t find US workers at Mar-A-Lago. He is paying $12-13 an hour. Why not try $15 an hour to prove we don’t need immigrants?

And heck, according to a quick search, the local Hilton is paying $16 an hour, with probably benefits.

–

So Trumpbaby has scared Trump out of visiting London. California wants to know, can we borrow or build one?

–

Two questions. 1. Does Donald Trump even know who Curtis Hill is? 2. How long until Trump claims he believes Indiana’s Attorney General?

After judges originally missed 10 hot dogs eaten by Joey Chestnut, Major League Eating said “yesterday’s incident might be the impetus to bring competitive eating into the digital age.”
Great, Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest will be ahead of baseball with balls and strikes.

–

So maybe it wasn’t a good idea to say the SF Giants couldn’t look any worse than they did  in Denver?

–

Grayson Allen in a scuffle today in NBA Summer League. So congrats to all those who had July 5th in the pool.

–

Now it’s a 4th wrestler who said Jim Jordan knew about doctor’s sexual abuse. If anyone thinks The Ohio State University will side with a politician over one of their athletes, they haven’t been to a OSU-Michigan game.

Open note to Ohio State – Penn State leaders went to jail over protecting their beloved Joe Paterno. And Jim Jordan on a good day is not even close to being Joe Paterno.

–

Fox News headline “Teenager in Texas attacked for wearing MAGA hat.” (16 yr old had soft drink thrown in his face at San Antonio Whataburger.) But nothing about Oregon state rep who had cops called on her for canvassing her district while being black….

–

Request for giant @TrumpBabyUK balloon to fly over London during Trump’s visit was just approved by Mayor Sadiq Khan. Can’t wait to see kind things Trump says about Khan now.

If @northropgrumman fires their employee outed as a violent White Supremacist in Charlottesville,  how long until the guy ends up working in Trump administration?

–

Now that he’s got Bill Shine, how long until Trump offers Jim Jordan a job in his administration.

–

Maybe James Woods can go out for a beer with lonely Alan Dershowitz.

Scott Pruitt, James Wood and Alan Dershowitz walk into a bar….

–

So as Scott Pruitt leaves Washington did he ask @RitzCarlton for a truck full of parting gifts?

–

Apparently in Montana Trump is back to attacking the media as “very bad people” (a week after Capital Gazette murders), insulting Elizabeth Warren and John McCain, and making fun of the “Me Too” movement.
Another of those moments he became Presidential?

Trump tonight “Thousand points of light What does that mean? Make America Great Again we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that?’
Part of his “no decent Republican left un-insulted” policy?

University of Georgia QB Jake Fromm fractured his non-throwing hand this week, apparently in a “freak boating accident.”  Was he washing it at the time?

–

Can SF Giants talk to the equipment manager who left their bats in Arizona?

–

MLB teams love to sell game-used Fourth of July equipment.    But SF Giants are going to have a hard time claiming they are “game-used” bats.

–

Learn something every day. Today I learned from Generation Z-ers that “fireworking” is now a verb. As in “who are you fireworking with tonight?”#FourthofJuly

–

Joey Chestnut wins #NathansHotDogEatingContest again. But really, this of all years who expected America would lose our supremacy in gluttony.

–

Somehow  Fox News seems to have missed the story about GOP senators celebrating #FourthofJuly in Russia….. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

–

PSA – If you start a fire with illegal fireworks please be sure to alert the Fire Dept so they can try to save every other home in your neighborhood first.

–

When will #SecondCivilWar be available for binge-watching on Netflix?

–

A woman who slipped and got her leg caught between the platform and a subway train in Boston begged rescuers “Please don’t call the ambulance, it costs too much.”

(She did get taken to the hospital, not by ambulance, where she was treated for a broken leg and cuts.)

Are we great yet?

Wonder if any of the Ohio State abuse actually took place in a pizza parlor?  #Projection

If Larry Nassar had only joined Trump administration we’d be hearing from GOP how all those girls were lying.

–

I’m sure parents separated from their children feel very sympathetic to Alan Dershowitz being ostracized by many of his summer friends on Martha’s Vineyard

–

#Happy4thofJuly Can we start spelling it “Democraucy? Because it needs U

–

So for Trump/Putin Helsinki private meeting assume their invite said “Should you choose to forgo your individual rooms, please use this key to stay as a couple in the Fantasy Suite.”

With Warriors signing Cousins, NBA finals between Western and Eastern Conferences move closer to equivalent of having World Series winners take on the College World Series champions.

In 1993, had Rockies beaten Braves ONCE out of 13 games #SFGiants would have made playoffs. in 2017 Bumgarner hurt himself on dirt bike, now in 2018 Giants look like they may never win again at Coors.
Guessing Colorado isn’t their favorite state.

–

Reuben Foster suspended 2 games by NFL. That’s one game per arrest.

–

World Cup in US is a bit like March Madness. Lots of people rooting for teams on which they cannot name a single player.

–

So Jim Jordan wants to be the next Paul Ryan, when it’s looking like he might be the next Joe Paterno.

–

–

What’s the difference between  Jim Jordan and Joe Paterno? Other than Paterno being dead, not much.

–

Apparently over $1 million will be waged on Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest, with Joey Chestnut the prohibitive favorite.
So who needs the World Cup when we still have American supremacy in eating?

–

New York weather over 90 degrees for an entire week. In Chicago they are having to hose down moveable bridges to keep them moving. But there’s no climate change. #sarcasm

–

Is declaring war on Harley Davidson another one of those moments Trump became Presidential?

–

Trump tweeted ” Big Supreme Court win on internet sales tax – about time! Big victory for fairness and for our country. Great victory for consumers and retailers. But Trump store doesn’t charge sales tax for shipping to most states. IOKIYT – It’s OK If You’re Trump?

–

Who says Trump is incapable of learning? Today he learned the difference between “pour” and “pore.”

–

At this point all Barack Obama has to do is wish Americans a Happy 4th of July and Trump will try to eliminate the holiday.

–

How long until Trump starts the #FakeSenateIntelligenceCommittee tweets?

–

Just for those who don’t know – “There are 15 full-time members of the Senate Intelligence Committee — eight Republicans and seven Democrats.”

–

Vermont has legalized marijuana. Maple-syrup topped Doritos anyone?

As Cousins signs with Warriors at what point does NBA admit their regular season exists just as entertainment to sell tickets until Western Conferences finals?

–

Warriors sign 5th All-Star in DeMarcus Cousins. If Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry weren’t so outspoken, Trump would be trying to take credit for them.

–

So hell, why don’t Warriors just sign Kawhi Leonard and be done with it?

–

Also can we just declare Coors Field the next home of Little League World Series and be done with it?

–

Brazil’s Neymar may or may not become a World Cup Champion. But at the very least he is in contention for best supporting actor.

–

New study found those who drink at least six cups of coffee every day are 16% less likely to die from cancer or any kind of disease. But are they more likely to die from murder by someone who repeatedly told them “Calm the f*ck down.

Harvey Weinstein now may be looking at life in prison with new sexual assault allegations. “I feel so sorry for him” said nobody.

–

Draft leaked of act that would allow President Trump to ignore WTO and raise tariffs by himself, “United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act.”

The FART Act.  Well, finally truth in Trump advertising.

–

Waiting for @realDonaldTrump to say Michael Cohen was just his “covfefe” lawyer.

Well, hope Luke Walton enjoyed his time actually coaching the Lakers.

–

Waiting for Lavar Ball to say Lebron James is now the 2nd best player on the Lakers

–

You know you’re having good week after being called up from AAA when they intentionally walk you in your third start. #AustinSlater #SFGiants

–

And didn’t we all have SF Giants with Cueto, Samardzija and now Strickland out having the best ERA in NL for June at 2.70?

–

Eliminating teams from the World Cup on Penalty Kicks is like ending the World Series with a Home Run Derby.

Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Islanders captain John Tavares for seven years, $77 million. And presumably he’ll get most late Aprils and Mays off.

There are classic World Cup games that turn people into soccer fans for life. Spain vs. Russia and Croatia vs. Denmark were not those games.

–

Tammy Duckworth says Alexandria Ocasio Ortiz politics will not win in Midwest. Uh, duh, and  Lisa  Murkowski wouldn’t win in Kansas and John Bel Edwards wouldn’t win in California. It’s called being right for your district.

–

Susan Collins thinks #SCOTUS won’t overturn Roe v Wade because of respect for “precedent.” Wonder what Justice Merrick Garland thinks.

–

Happy Canada Day. How long until Canada has to build a wall to keep desperate refugees from the US out?

–

“Permit Patty” Alison Ettel claims she just pretended to call 911 on a black child selling water, and then police release the 911 tape.
So MAYBE Ettel isn’t racist, but she sure is stupid.

–

If an immigrant had stabbed one US citizen last night @realDonaldTrump would have unleashed a tweet storm by now. But nine refugees are stabbed by an American in Boise, and crickets.

Tonight @realDonaldTrump congratulated leftist newly elected President of Mexico. Over-under on when Trump will come up with his 1st nasty nickname for Andrés Manuel López Obrador?

Reds scored 12 runs today, Braves and Red Sox scored 11, Cubs scored 14. Was there some MLB pitchers’ strike and nobody told us?

–

So if chosen will Hope Hicks be first Chief of Staff ever to steam a President’s pants?

–

4-3 score in World Club with France vs. Argentina.   WTF? Is the ball juiced?

–

So in the end, what was the difference between Argentina and Nigeria and Iceland?  About 4 days.

–

Hall of Famer John Smoltz missed the cut at the US Senior Open. Who does he think he is, Tiger Woods?

–

As the World Cup enters knock-out rounds, many Americans have the familiar feeling they have every March Madness – rooting for teams on which they can’t name a single player.

So who had Estonia on Trump’s relations wrecking list?

–

Ah, June 30, when we can all be glad that we won’t get any more last minute “2nd quarter of 2018” fundraising emails. And switch over to “start the second half of 2018 with a bang” fundraising emails.

–

Mike Huckabee, if Trump put Moses up for the possibility of being Supreme Court Justice the Democrats would still be against it.

–

Apparently Mike Huckabee doesn’t remember that Moses led more than half a million immigrants in search of the Promised Land…

Love how Trumpsters simultaneously say that Trump is tougher on immigrants than any President ever but blame Obama for family separation.

–

To all my new Russian bot Twitter responders – “blagoslovlyay svoye serdtse”
(translation “Bless your heart.”

–

How can you be “pro-life” and say human beings want to “infest” us? Asking for a country.

–

Maxine Waters “If you shoot me, you better shoot straight. There’s nothing like a wounded animal.”
Whatever you think of #MaxineWaters, she has more cojones than 90% of Congress.

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something sometime in your life”. Winston Churchill

Tim Tebow has made the AA All-Star team. If so, he should be ready to fit right in on this year’s Mets!

–

So Lebron James is opting out of his contract with the Cavaliers. Miss the days when that was the biggest story we could all get worked up about.

–

#LarryNassar trending. Anyone else disappointed that it wasn’t because he died?

–

Apparently now South Korea is out of World Cup, players may lose their exemption from 2 years of compulsory national service. On a brighter note, imagine what North Korean players would face for being eliminated

–

John Melendez pranked Donald Trump into accepting his call on Air Force One. Did he use a cellphone with a Russian prefix?

–

Despite the Capital Gazette killer’s long history of threatening behavior, he bought his gun legally. So much for “Thoughts and Prayers.”

So when will NRA and GOP declare that for safety we should arm all journalists?

–

We may never know exact trigger for #CapitalGazette killer. Clearly he had issues with the paper. But Trump’s normalizing hatred towards journalists couldn’t have helped.

–

Somehow got on Trump email list. And here’s fund raising message of day after Capital Gazette shooting – “Too many on the Left push a message of anger, resistance, and violent rhetoric….”

–

Susan Collins said she won’t apply “ideological litmus tests” to Supreme Court nominees. The problem is that @realDonaldTrump will.

–

Trump today said of Capital Gazette killings – “This attack shocked the conscience of our Nation, and filled our hearts with grief…
Those of us with hearts, anyway.

Just for the heck of it…. guacamole and tortillas really is the original avocado toast.

–

CIA and other U.S. agencies conclude North Korea has ramped up production of fuel for nuclear weapons. So who’s Trump going to believe? US intelligence or his new BFF Kim Jong-Un?

–

Marco Rubio was more upset by the use of the f-word than by the death of five journalists. Respectfully speaking, what a fuckwit.

And the gun.

–

-Trump likes to tout his own bravery and slam the press.
Meanwhile #CapitalGazette will publish a newspaper tomorrow. #truecourage

–

Jameis Winston suspended just 3 games by NFL. Good thing for #Buccaneers that their QB just sexually assaulted an Uber driver instead smoking some pot

–

Really miss living in world where as #Spurs & #SFGiants fan most upsetting news today would involve trading Kawhi Leonard & a blown save. #CapitalGazette

–

Japan advances over Senegal on “fair play points?” And people complain that the balk rule is weird.

(And once Japan knew the “fair play” rule would get them in, they basically played a four-corners offense for the last 10 minutes of the game to run out the clock without more scoring….)

–

Congratulations to Kevin Abel, 129 pitch 2-hit shutout after 23 pitches yesterday to win CWS for Oregon State
But six innings in MLB is a quality start……

Rod Rosenstein is a Trump-appointed Republican. Period.

Re Mueller investigation – “Finish it the hell up” says the man who dragged out Benghazi for over 2 years… #TreyGowdy #Whythereisnosatire

–

At least all these people who want to overturn Roe V. Wade also want to expand welfare benefits to poor women and children. Oh, wait… never mind. #ProLifeMyAss

–

Who says Trump isn’t doing anything to respond to Capital Gazette shootings? He got BFF Vlad to unleash Russian bots to blame it on Democrats.

–

Trump refused to speak to reporters about murdered Annapolis journalists when he returned to White House today.
But had shooter been an immigrant or Muslim he’d have been screaming loudly about his wall or travel ban.

–

How can you call the press “fake news” and the “enemy of the people” without EXPECTING someone to try to kill journalists? Asking for a sad country.

–

Even if today’s killer wasn’t directly motivated by Trump, calling free press “the enemy of the people” dehumanizes journalists, and provides justification to angry men looking for excuses to kill. Period.

Just guessing it’s not a great day for business if you run a Korean BBQ restaurant in Germany.

–

A little good news for the day, since James Borrego left for the Hornets job, San Antonio Spurs have promoted assistant coach Becky Hammon to the front of the bench,

Final game of #CollegeWorldSeries tomorrow between #OregonState and #Arkansas. And if anyone doesn’t have a team yet, Sarah Huckabee Sanders did start off Monday’s press briefing “Go Hogs.”

–

Germany is out of the World Cup. How long until Trump tweets taking credit?

–

Open note to @JeffFlake – Your book is “Conscience of a Conservative.” Show it now please, and announce you will not vote to confirm Trump SCOTUS nominee before the election.

–

Important potential bright spot w/ Kennedy retiring. He’s only doing it now to get a conservative replacement. Which means he too expects a November Blue Wave.

–

McConnell – “Senate stands ready to fulfill its constitutional role by offering advice and consent on President Trump’s nominee to fill this vacancy.”
Uh, but clearly this close to a midterm election we should let people decide.

–

US and Russia have agreed on a Trump-Putin summit. In addition to their nightly bedtime chats?

–

Since “My Pillow” is a big advertiser on KNBR, figured SF Giants fans should know that Trump at today’s rally is praising his strong supporter Mike Lindell, CEO & founder of “My Pillow.”

–

Trump taunt tonight – “slovenly man named Joe Crowley, got his ass kicked by a young woman who had a lot of energy.”
Guessing he won’t find it as entertaining when young women with a lot of energy kick GOP ass this November.

Somehow I’ve missed all the comments from so-called liberals  after Kennedy’s retirement saying “there’s no difference between the parties.”

It is a lot easier to convince someone who doesn’t think elections matter to vote than it is to change the mind of someone who has voted, even if they made the wrong choice. #confirmationbias

Mets actually won tonight, hope this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse.

–

A body was discovered at home of NY Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins. Wait, I thought all the stiffs in NY were playing for the Mets. #BustoHell

–

Forget “Rolaids Reliever of the Year,” think Archie Bradley wins the “Pepto-Bismol Reliever of the Year.”

–

“Leave my husband alone” – Elaine Chao. Also countless immigrant women and gay men

–

If Sarah Sanders thinks she can’t have a nice simple dinner out now, wait until she finds out how many restaurants don’t want to deal with hassle of Secret Service escorts too.

Too soon to start a pool as to when @realDonaldTrump will come up with a nasty nickname for Alexandra  Ocasio Cortez?

Got to love Trump chortling over a white establishment male Democrat losing his Primary…. to a MORE liberal Latina woman. Mean bitch Karma popping another cold one.

–

Trump says he’d run into a school to face an armed killer? Wonder how long it will be before he’s afraid to face a group of Harley Davidson bikers?

–

Democrats looking for something productive to do in Wisconsin might consider voter registration in Milwaukee right now. It’s the headquarters of #HarleyDavidson

–

So has anyone reminded @realDonaldTrump that his new BFF Kim Jong Un is now on the travel ban list?

–

Suppose Trump travel ban makes SOME sense because most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Oh, Saudis aren’t on list….. Never mind.

–

Targeted advertising fail of the day.
“Janice, you’ve been such a loyal and committed supporter. I want you to know that I’m fighting alongside you every step of the way.Our hard work is paying off. We are winning the fight.
Please make a contribution of $50, and I would be honored to sign a copy of my book (“Trump’s America”) for you.

Your Friend, Newt Gingrich

–

As we argue over whether Civility will matter with Trump voters, can we remember, Trump wasn’t elected so much because conservatives voted for him as because liberals voted third party or stayed home!  VOTE!

ESPN reports that Lebron James doesn’t want a “recruiting circus” with his free agency.
Uh, with “The Decision” Lebron is the one who first put up the circus tent.

–

On a Monday when Giants had an off day, Cubs against Dodgers had runners on 1st and 2nd with no one out, and bunted into a double play. Then had runners at 1st and 3rd with one out and hit into another double play.   For SF fans looked WAY too familiar.

–

So somehow ESPN’s “The Body” issue neglected Bartolo Colon?

–

Uruguay beat Russia today at the World Cup.   Fortunately Russia is still advancing so the Uruguay team won’t suddenly find their visas revoked.

–

In Ohio, a bank teller convinced a robber she needed to swipe his driver’s license to get more cash from the ATM. Police then showed up at the guy’s house later with a warrant for his arrest. #Crooksarestupid

–

Flight delays today at SFO due to a pothole closing one runway. Wonder which airline will be first to institute a “runway maintenance fee”?

As my friend Rick said ” That’s not a pothole, it’s a ground-based turbulence simulator.”

–

Maybe the Tallahassee Trail is where Trump told Melania HE was going.

–

Sarah Sanders says she complained (illegally) about Red Hen restaurant using her “official account” because she was responding to “news of the day.”
Uh, Sarah, it wasn’t news until you made it news.

–

Just guessing the Red Hen doesn’t serve the well-done steak with ketchup that Trump likes anyway…

–

Just checking, do MAGAers feel that a restaurant owner should also have to serve someone who comes in being polite but wearing a “F*ck Trump” shirt?

–

Lots of Trumpers criticizing a tweet I wrote about Trump wanting to be King. Most of them saying a US President is like a king. Funny, I missed GOP saying that when Obama was President.

So at Trump rallies will supporters alternate cries for #Civility with #LockHerUp?

–

If insults, rudeness and a lack of civility were enough to deter Americans from voting for a candidate then @HillaryClinton would be President.

–

Pelosi and Schumer rebuked Maxine Waters over civility. Somehow I missed GOP leaders doing the same with Trump.
