X marks the spot?

January 26, 2018

 

Worries about brain injuries & CTE, not to mention lousy play, have resulted in lower NFL ratings. So of course what USA needs is ANOTHER football league #XFL2020

 

 

There is a betting line on the #ProBowl And if you know it and plan to bet, you just might have a problem.

Barry Bonds doesn’t get into #BaseballHOF because of steroids, but Ivan Rodriguez does. And I’m sure it’s just a coincidence Pudge dropped 40 lbs when league started steroid testing.

Rumors are that #VinceMcMahon is bringing back the #TheXFL. Can they give @realDonaldTrump another team to distract him from watching Fox 24-7?

As someone said, imagine how many home runs Bonds would have hit if he weren’t facing pitchers on steroids?

MSU lineman David Beeble on Nassar situation “”As a MALE football player, situations such as this are rare and if it was to arise in football, I feel that action would’ve been taken immediately.”
He’s right, unless maybe it was a football coach

 

A big rig w/ “dozens of cases” of bottled craft beer from Paso Robles’ Firestone Walker Brewing Company crashed in Northern Calif, spilling beer all over highway. Sad. Especially that if a beer truck had to crash it wasn’t carrying Bud Light.

Now Bernie Sanders has called advisers together over a possible 2020 presidential campaign. Leaving politics aside, can USA be done being led by white men past retirement age?

(And for the record, I don’t want any old white women running in 2020. Time for a change.)

US dollar fell again today. So not only do we not have foreign tourists want to visit US, now it’s going to be more expensive for Americans to travel abroad. Where’s the Trump tweet about all those tourism jobs?

RNC chair says Trump’s asking new FBI director McCabe who he voted for was just “getting to know somebody.” Right, because 1st conversation boss has with new employee is about their politics. #WTF

Over-under on when Air Force One touched down in Zurich and then Trump was driven to Davos, how many world leaders said ‘There goes the neighborhood.”?

 

Who’d a thunk an orange man would be working so hard to make America white again?

Don’t tell the NFL…

January 25, 2018

NBA wants to be a partner in legalizing sports gambling, for a 1% cut on every bet made. Well, that ought to do wonders with those who think sport is fixed.

 

Gregg Popovich & Lebron James chatted and shared a postgame embrace after Spurs win over Cavs. No word on what they discussed but if Kawhi REALLY wants out, suppose San Antonio could do worse for a replacement.

Elton John announcing he will retire after three-year farewell tour. “Three YEAR farewell tour, you mean we could have done that” said Yankess & Derek Jeter?

Top three beers in the US are now Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite. Only things getting less light are Americans.

#LarryNassar is trending. Alas, it’s not because he’s dead.

 –

president Simon will resign. At this point even Penn State is thinking it was about time.

John Kerry apparently is thinking of running again for President in 2020.   Right, because one thing the USA lacks is enough old white male candidates.

 

A day after it happened.  someone finally shamed into acknowledging yesterday’s school shooting. If killer were Muslin or immigrant he’d have been on it in 15 minutes.

Trump to unveil immigration plan on Monday. For those who don’t like it, no doubt he will disavow plan by Tuesday.

President Donald Trump says he’s “looking forward” to being interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller.   Can we put it on pay-per-view?  Might go a way towards fixing national debt.

McConnell wants Senate to vote on a bill criminalizing abortion after 20 weeks. Good thing at least these pro-lifers are also so pro-healthcare and welfare for low-income mothers. Oh wait…. never mind.

Will we tell our children & grandkids some day “I’m so old I remember when the USA was actually respected in the world?”

As Trump jets off to Davos, wonder if Melania is googling looking for a weekend service that can change the locks.

Busted?

January 24, 2018

Two Astros Double-A players suspended 80 & 100 games for failed PED tests. So is it mostly players trying to make it to “the Show” who cheat? Or do minor-leaguers just use cheaper more detectable drugs?

 

So-called rumors on Kawhi Leonard wanting out of San Antonio to go to “better” team,. Tonight Cavs would be the latest to say Spurs are just fine.

Despite controversies and bad calls this year, NFL is keeping Senior VP of officiating Al Riveron in 2018. Maybe because in the end, it’s about results — Patriots DID make it to Super Bowl.

Think there’s as much chance that no one at #UsaGymnastics knew about Larry Kassar as there is of @realdonaldtrump weighing 239 pounds.

Melania Trump apparently decided last minute not to go to Davos with her husband. Stormy weather?

Time to reset the mass shooting clock. And since shooter apparently American male… time for more GOP “thoughts and prayers.” #Kentucky

Of course it’s “too soon” to talk about gun control. But if the young man who shot his classmates were Muslim or an immigrant, you can bet Trump would be tweeting about travel bans and walls. #Kentucky

 

Not sure what’s sadder, 2 kids killed & 18 injured in latest school shooting. Or the fact that it’s already not top headline on the late-night news. #Kentucky

Top three beers in the US are now Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite. At While at the same time getting much less light are Americans.

 

Hope @realDonaldTrump has never sent any really sensitive text messages from or to a Samsung phone…. Not that a company would ever be vindictive.

Since @realDonaldTrump is so fond of nicknames, may I suggest #TheBossBaby?

Trump arrives in Davos on the morning of Jan 25. Time to open up a new round of Trump insult bingo.

So how did Donald  Trump get snubbed for an #Oscars nomination for makeup. He makes up facts regularly.

We know nothing?

January 23, 2018

 

USA Gymnastics directors have now resigned over Larry Nassar scandal. Uh, forget resignations, can we talk indictments? #complicit

But maybe all these former USA Gymnastics folks have dreams of getting hired at Penn State?  Or Michigan State?   #weknownothing.

 

Judge has turned down Jared Fogle’s request for early release from prison. Wonder if the former Subway pitchman was hoping to be hired by USA Gymnastics. #bustohell

Jaguars flagged for 6 penalties, 98 yards, including two PI’s that gave New England a TD, Patriots flagged for one 10 yard penalty. Waiting to see @NFL apologize, to Belichick for that one.

 

Austin Jackson has signed with SF Giants. Giants fans hoping that for at least one year you CAN trust anyone and everyone over 30.

Neil Diamond announces his retirement due to Parkinson’s disease. Sad. but have to wonder how many wish he had  just retired as past his sell by date?

 

=

So Monday  morning Megyn Kelly reminded us all that Trump disliking someone isn’t a good enough reason to like them.

.

 

Guessing there’s as good a chance of Mitch McConnell keeping his word as there is of Trump weighing 239 pounds.

So Mr. “Art of the Deal” did absolutely no deal making in DC this weekend. Though to be fair he was in mourning for missing his big anniversary party. @realDonaldTrump

Pence calls Stormy Daniels allegations “baseless.” But Daniels passed a polygraph. What about you, Mr. Vice President?

 

Russian spy ship, Viktor Leonov, spotted 100 miles off coast of North Carolina. Waiting for & to explain how it is Hillary or Obama’s fault.

 

for a nonpolitical nonsports note….. I end you with, Lucas the spider. Created by my nephew Joshua Slice, and voided by my grand-nephew Lucas.  Cute enough to avoid allegations of blog nepotism?

 

Patriot games.

January 22, 2018

Just a reminder, the “tuck rule” game where officials gave Patriots win over Raiders. was 16 yrs ago last Friday. The more things change….

In 49 states millions of Americans have just become new members of #NickFoles fan club. #FlyEaglesFly

 

The Jaguars were penalized six times for 98 yards in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game while the Patriots were penalized just once for 10 yards, which was a holding penalty on a kickoff.

And we wonder why people hate airlines. Virgin, United & British Airways have fares from SF to London for $543 rt. But those fares are technically listed at $14 roundtrip. $300.00 of it is a “carrier-imposed surcharge.”

Gobbedly gook travel agent fare information below –  yes, even the US tax, at 36.60 is higher than the so-called fare:
FARE USD 14.00 TAX 5.60AY TAX 36.60US TAX 3.96XA TAX 4.50XF TAX 7.00XY TAX 5.65YC TAX 103.90GB TAX 62.20UB TAX 300.00YQ TOT USD 543.41

Let’s not forget, #TrumpShutdown wouldn’t have happened if @realDonaldTrump hadn’t overturned #DACA just because it was Obama’s program. #Dreamers

Trump wants to invoke “Nuclear Option” to end shutdown. Tweeted like a man who never thinks there will be elections again. Or someone who just likes the idea of nukes..

“Every time we have a proposal it is only yanked back by staff members. As long as Stephen Miller is in charge of negotiating immigration, we’re going nowhere.”
Another liberal politican? Nope @LindseyGrahamSC

So has #CadetBoneSpurs not thought of a derogatory nickname for Tammy Duckworth yet?

Personally, I love sports AND politics. But at least with politics when you watch injustice or bias in this country you can still VOTE.

We hardly knew ye.

January 21, 2018

Duke now has top 3 @ESPN basketball recruits for 2018. They’ll be heading to Durham for some of the best months of their lives.

Kansas basketball freshman Billy Preston has signed with European team.  Preston hadn’t  actually even played yet for Jayhawks. He’d been suspended last fall after his single-car accident in a Lexus with questionable “financial picture.”

Is Billy the first ‘None and done?”

What time is the Saints game this Sunday. Oh. damn… never mind.

Since @FLOTUS is stuck in DC this weekend, wonder if she thought about sneaking out to join #WomensMarchDC?

 

OMB Director Mick Mulvaney “I found out for 1st time last night that the person who technically shuts the government down is me, which is kind of cool.” Can’t imagine how Trump administration gets reputation for being heartless bastards.

Thinking if your heritage isn’t Native American you have no right to think #TrumpShutdown is justified over immigration.

Trump tweets angrily about Dems not caring about military or veterans – but military and 96% of the VA isn’t furloughed. #governmentshutdown2018#AlternativeFacts

Haiti is an island, Africa is an ocean away. Immigrants from Trump’s so-called “shithole” countries come by plane or boat. Wall wouldn’t help. #TrumpShutdown

Schumer “Negotiating w/ Trump is like negotiating with Jell-O” So for next #TrumpShutdown cocktail may I nominate a Bitter Orange Jell-O shot?

Mueller probe apparently will continue during #TrumpShutdown. But if there are any $$$ problems guessing a Go Fund Me page could be arranged.

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens, accused of physically abusing his mistress, and blackmailing her with nude pictures.

“‘I’m very confident that God has a way of bringing good from difficulty. Yeah, God is pissed & she thinks you should quit.

 

 

Missouri Gov. #Greitens denies blackmail, doesn’t deny taking illicit pictures of his lover. Translation, he sent pictures & is afraid someone has copies.

reitens “‘I’m very confident that God has a way of bringing good from difficulty. Yeah, God is pissed & she thinks you should quit.

Orange you glad?

January 20, 2018

At his first SF Giants press conference Evan Longoria was asked about playing at AT&T Park vs Tropicana Field. A chuckle – “Outdoors, with fans..?”

Can someone buy Longoria a kitten?  A big one. #MissingSkeeter

Thinking chances no one at USA Gymnastics knew about Larry Nassar are about as high as chances no one at Penn State knew about Jerry Sandusky.

Tom Brady might be injured. This could be good news for Super Bowl advertisers. With a Bortles-Foles potential QB matchup, millions of Americans really will watch for the commercials.

 

Minnesota Vikings trying to trademark “Minneapolis Miracle” & ‘Minnesota Miracle.” New Orleans Saints have potential trademarked phrases too, but none could get past government censors.

Sadly remembering days when worst worry about girls and #USAGymnasticswas eating disorders.

NFL said Raiders didn’t violate Rooney Rule in hiring Jon Gruden. Proving once again only rule @NFL really cares about is the Golden one – whoever has gold, makes rules.

Trump today “Right now in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change.”
Can’t imagine why some still question his mental competency.

Waiting for the t-shirt – “My President went to Mar-A-Lago and all I got was this lousy Shutdown.” #TrumpShutdown

A new poll found 70% of Canadians had negative view of Trump’s first year in office, 13% were positive. It’s all a strategy to build a wall and have Canada pay for it?

Okay, what about putting the Turpin parents, Larry Nassar and Jerry Sandusky all in the same cell?  –  And maybe charging on pay-per-view.

Trump touts new “conscience & religious freedom” division within HHS so medical professionals don’t have to violate their moral/religious beliefs.
What if their beliefs tell them not to treat thrice-married serial adulterers?

 

 

So Lindsey Graham & Jeff Flake remembered where they put their spine? #TrumpShutdown

So at @realDonaldTrump’s $100,000 a couple anniversary party tomorrow will the band play “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to?” #TrumpShutdown

 

Pretty sure any #TrumpShutdown cocktail includes Russian vodka and bitter orange. A very bitter orange.

 

#TrumpShutdown cocktail nominations – I’ll start -Donald Wallbanger – includes Russian vodka and artificial orange. Lots of twists. And when you wake up you’ll feel like you were hit with a rolled up magazine.

 

Trump married woman he cheated on his 1st wife with; imagine if he’d repeated pattern – “First Lady Stormy Trump?”

The kids were all right?

January 19, 2018

Class of Jacksonville kids sent folder of cards – “Dear Jags, Want to beat the Patriots? Here’s how …. Advice from your #1 fans in Bolles First Grade.”
Shame no New Orleans kids sent one to Saints – “At end of game, please just tackle players inbounds.”

Former USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar wrote judge complaining that “listening to (victim) impact statements is detrimental to his mental health.” Well, heck, let’s play recordings of them into his prison cell.

 

#USAGymnastics to end relationship with Karolyi Ranch, the training facility where Larry Nassar sexually abused girls, Next assume they will go chase down horses & bolt those barn doors.

Thinking the chances that no one at USA Gymnastics knew about Larry Nassar are about as high as the chances no one at Penn State knew about Jerry Sandusky.

So when #AmazonHQ2 finalists were announced, did all 20 cities get a rose?

 

United Airlines is going to add “more spacious seats” for their Premium Economy on international flights – and dub it “Premium Plus.” Sounds good for those who can pay the difference. And the new seats will take more room, which means those in back of plane get more chance for knees to chest calisthenics

 

Anyone against death penalty might reconsider upon reading details of the #TurpinFamily case. Seriously.

Or  maybe we should just put the Turpin family and Larry Nassar in the same cell, or general population, at the same time?

To be fair to Trump’s doctor, pretty sure when he said 6’3″ it was because he wouldn’t have dared push height rod down on President’s hair.

Trump tweeted he is going to Pennsylvania to campaign for GOP candidate in Congressional special election. Great news, for Democrat Conor Lamb.

 

If Trump had Stormy Daniels spank him with a Forbes magazine, I don’t even want to imagine what she had him do with a copy of Time.

Remember those innocent days when the most embarrassing detail about a President we had to discuss with our children was a blow job?

 

Life in the fast lane, with a left blinker on…

January 17, 2018

The Eagles are playing a show at AT&T Park on Thursday, Sept. 20. At 5pm. So they & fans are so old even concerts need to be Early Bird Specials?

Well, damn, #KawhiLeonard out for an “indefinite period of time.” As a @Spurs fan I’d be even more upset if this wasn’t still months from meaningful NBA games.

Drew Brees, 39, will be a free agent this year, But Brees says he wants to be in New Orleans “as long as they’ll have him,”  isn’t talking to other teams and thinks a deal will be done by March.  No wonder the guy’s underrated, he’s not enough of a diva.

Just guessing even those opposed to capital punishment wouldn’t mind if in prison Larry Nassar somehow got left alone for a few hours in general population #USAGymnastics

 

Nice that Apple will create 20,000 new jobs in US. But many if not most of those jobs will require higher education, which GOP wants to cut… Wonder how long before Apple says they need more H1-B visas?

Jeff Flake compares Trump to Stalin. Except @realDonaldTrump might take that as a compliment.

When #JeffFlake repeatedly attacks Trump personally but votes with him 90% of the time, he just sounds like a grumpy spouse of someone he would marry again.

A British man was sentenced to 6 months in jail after he became jealous of his girlfriend having a night out, and called the pub with a fake bomb threat. And guess what ladies, when he gets out, he’ll be single.

Trump, slamming previous Presidents on North Korea. “I guess they all realized they’re going to have to leave it to a president that scored the highest on tests.” Well, no need for a test on Narcissistic Personality Disorder.’

When a man openly talks about wanting to date his daughter why should ANYONE be surprised when he sleeps with a porn star who looks like her? @realDonaldTrump

 

Many have attacked Hillary Clinton for turning a blind eye to her husband’s infidelities. Somehow I’ve missed the same folks now going after Melania Trump.

Uh, @PressSec says Democrats would be to blame for a Government shutdown. Uh, GOP controls BOTH houses. More of that math having a liberal bias?

Weighty matters?

January 16, 2018

Odds of Trump weighing 239 pounds are about the same as Pablo Sandoval’s never topping 239 pounds when he was with the SF Giants?

Stanford Cardinal hopes for a great  football season just improved immensely.

2018 slogan?  “Love, Actually. ”  #BryceLove

Bengals fans who hate the Steelers have been thanking Jaguars QB Blake Bortles by donating to his charity. Imagine how much Bortles can raise from Americans if Jacksonville can knock off Brady and Belichick.

Reports that police were called in Houston after the Clippers’ win when several players including James Harden and Chris Paul reportedly stormed LA locker room to confront Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers,
Apparently officers prevented anything from actually happening. But wonder if Rockets-Clippers next game has been moved to national television?#basketballbrawl

 

United 1219 from Denver to Kauai had to divert to San Francisco when the toilets became full, resulting in 8 hour delay. Talk about a shitty flight.

Reports that ICE is planning for a “major sweep” in Northern California cities to arrest and deport more than 1,500 undocumented people so that they can “send a message.” Just wondering, how many people is ICE going after from Asia or Europe including Russia?

#ReligiousFreedomDay for Trump just means that everyone should be free to worship him in their own way.

Turkey has issued travel warning for the US because of a “recent increase in terrorist and violent attacks,” as well as “arbitrary arrests” of Turkish citizens. Are we feeling great yet?

 

Patty Schachtner just won a  State Senate seat in Wisconsin in a district that Trump won 55 to 38 in 2016.   And it  was scheduled as a special election to depress turnout.

So a reminder,  we don’t need to convince EVERYONE that voted for Trump they were wrong. Just enough for a majority.

 

I know geography not Trump administration priority. But still, how does someone with the name Kirstjen not know anything about a Scandinavian country?

 

“When ignorance and bigotry is allied with power, it’s a dangerous force in our country. Your silence and your amnesia is complicity,”  Cory Booker to Kirstjen Nielsen #Booker2020

 

 

 

 

 

Not over it.

January 16, 2018

 

A picture is worth a thousand four-letter words?

timespicayune

In retrospect when #Saints were down 17 to 0 maybe I shouldn’t have said “Well, at least they won’t break my heart today.” #WhoDat

 

Really sucked to be Saints or Steelers fan this weekend. But at least New Orleans didn’t discover today they were also losing one of city’s best & favorite players #McCutchen

QB K.J. Carta-Samuels to transfer from Washington to UCLA. Since he is a “graduate transfer” he can play immediately. Of course no one has any idea what he is supposedly transferring to study.

Chicago Tribune trolling a certain locale, and a certain QB.    Racing driver and Bears fan Danica Patrick confirms she’s dating Bachelorette winner’s brother

Does it make you an elitist when you can’t take trolls seriously who can’t tell difference between “your” and “you’re”?

Jeff Flake has become a regular Trump critic. But until Flake actually votes against President he might as well just be mumbling “thoughts and prayers.”

 

Thinking only time Trump would actually use word “shithouse” would be in reference to woman he wanted to grab. And it would have been prefaced with “brick.”

“Dicky” Durbin? So good to see that #Melania‘s anti-bullying campaign is going so well.

Does anyone doubt if #MartinLutherKing were alive today, his 89th birthday, that @realDonaldTrump would be insulting him with a petty nickname?

Unlike most Presidents in recent memory, Trump didn’t volunteer on the MLK holiday today, but played golf. But to be fair, maybe Trump tipped an African American  waiter or attendant an extra few dollars at his resort?

Poo-dat

January 14, 2018

 

There is a great baby t-shirt sold in New Orleans that says “poo-dat.” Seems quite appropriate. Only poo might not be the exact word I would use tonight.

 

When I said to friends near end of game I was nervous because #Saints had found some incredible ways to lose games at end, didn’t mean that to be a challenge to top them all.

“The best of times, the worst of times.”  Was Dickens a Saints fan?   #Ataleoftwohalves

After awful bowl season where every conference team but Utah lost, rookie #MarcusWilliams FROM Utah lets #Vikings pull off miracle win. Not #Pac12‘s year.

Since we are now looking at a possible Minnesota-Jacksonville Super Bowl, neither with a quarterback most Americans have heard of,  I guess this might be a game where people really do watch for the commercials.

 

All this controversy over $130,000 to a porn star. Well, at least one independent contractor who worked under Trump got paid.

 

To be fair, maybe in his mind Trump wasn’t ignoring a state yesterday, because he & many birther buddies don’t think Hawaii is a state.

A serious post on a current myth. I’ve spent all my working life since the age of 15 in either restaurants or the travel industry. And I believe most people try to do a good job at work.
But my observation is that immigrants, legal and illegal, have always been some of the very hardest working people. Lazy and entitled seems to be more of a problem for those born right here in the USA.

Patriotic?

January 14, 2018

Plenty of questionable calls went New England Patriots way last night. And can understand how Tennessee  fans might be upset. Without those calls,  Titans might have only lost by 10.

At this point Drew Brees, 38, has to have extra motivation to reach 2018 Super Bowl only because he might be considered the young upstart QB next to Brady.

RIP #KeithJackson. If they show NFL playoff games in heaven, maybe God turns down the sound so he and Dick Enberg can do commentary this weekend.

49ers LB Reuben Foster arrested in Alabama for marijuana possession. Maybe someone needs to move himself to California for the offseason….
Wikipedia editing is the best revenge? “Stephen Ambrose Sarkisian was a stable genius American football coach and is the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League but will possibly be homeless by the preseason.
NBA fined Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood $35,000 for slapping a phone out of fan’s hand when he left the court. Now, I don’t blame celebrities for getting annoyed with picture taking in private time….but during a televised game?
Of course most Presidents swear  and are insulting in private. But most of them direct their curse words at more appropriate targets like other politicians. Or sports officiating crews.
Worst thing about Friday’s Hawaii false alarm might turn out to be state collectively shrugging if there’s another alarm that turns out not to be fake?
 –
So one thing that amazes me. – with all the creative capitalists in US, why aren’t I getting ads for “Don’t blame me I voted for Hillary” shirts?
As Trump complains that Democrats aren’t helping to fix DACA, remember the Pottery Barn rule – “You broke it, you own it.”
If a Clinton lawyer allegedly paid porn star $130k in 2016 in hush money to keep an affair with Bill quiet, want to bet how many hours it would take for GOP chants of “Lock her up?”
Saturday night of a long weekend & Trump is retweeting conspiracy theorists. No staffer suggested sympathy for stressed-out Hawaiians or “thoughts & prayers” for Californians affected by mudslides?

 

 

Trump tweet storm Saturday night. Has someone told the president that if he’s  that bored on Saturday night,  SNL is back

 

From T.J. in Canada on Trump “I didn’t say that but even if I did – Shithole countries is just “Locker Room Talk.”

Does it matter?

January 12, 2018

 

Have @Cavs just decided to take rest of season until the playoffs off?

But you do have to wonder how NBA expects fans to take regular season seriously when the players don’t.

Spurs are dealing with plenty of injury issues this year. Who’d a thunk one of the healthier guys would be Manu Ginoboli. #ageandtreachery

British study found elderly people who devote 3 hours or more a day to housework are healthier. Thinking maybe health is overrated?

Missing those days when as American you could go to bed at night without worrying in morning “Oh Gawd, what did our President say NOW?”

So which bar will be 1st to offer a “Stormy Daniels?” Ginger beer, Jack Daniels, with orange on top. And it ends up being a lot more expensive than you think.

Apparently Twitter feels like #PresidentShithole is inappropriate for trending. What’s inappropriate is that we HAVE a #PresidentShithole

 –

 

Even if @realDonaldTrump was “saying what many people think,” isn’t President of the United States supposed to be better than the worst of us

Politics is not overrun with saints & many long marriages get complicated. But alleged #StormyDaniels encounter was only a YEAR after Donald & Melania were married.

 

Fox says Trump’s “shithole” comments are “how the forgotten men and women in America talk at the bar.” So they’re saying America is a nation of racist alcoholics?”

 

Serious question, if you still support @realDonaldTrump, is there ANYTHING he could do that would make you change your mind?

The Statue of Liberty

January 11, 2018

Is weeping.

But if only in 1885 we hadn’t let in Fredrich Trump from Bavaria.

It’s not that there are shithole countries, it’s that we have an asshole President. Sincerely, USA.

Pretty damn sure that immigrants from #Shitholecountries work harder every day than Trump’s children have ever worked in their lives.

Has anyone told @realDonaldTrump that since January 2017, many nations around the world now consider USA a “shithole” country?

Waiting for GOP to say after Trump’s verbal assault today that it’s “too soon” to talk about racism. But “thoughts and prayers.”

Oh please oh please can someone ask @realDonaldTrump live and on camera if he is a Mensa member?

Walmart has closed many Sam’s Club stores across the country with no notice. I missed the Trump tweet taking credit.

In Britain, Marks and Spencer has been shamed into stopping Sales of “cauliflower steaks”- a single slice of cauliflower for about usd 4. Hope this doesn’t give Whole Foods ideas.

 

As someone who started with sports jokes, I would love to #sticktosports. If Trump would only stick to being a plausible human being.

#Clippers last night gave #Warriors one of Golden State’s worst losses of the NBA pre-season.

Chargers will play at Wembley in London in 2018. Where they will probably get as many home supporters in stadium as they do in Los Angeles.

NFL investigating if Raiders violated the Rooney Rule of interviewing minorities in hiring Jon Gruden. More like they violated bigger unwritten rule – “Thou shall not ignore it so obviously.”

Rolling?

January 10, 2018

Stephen Curry apparently injured his ankle again in practice.   But given that it’s January he should be recovered before the NBA pre-season ends in April?

ESPN “Are the Thunder or Wolves a bigger threat to the Warriors?” So when did Spurs become chopped liver?

(or for that matter Rockets.)

UCF fans did a digital billboard asking Alabama to play the Golden Knights during the regular season.  And give up worthy foes like Colorado State and Mercer?

50 evacuated and some minor injuries when an apparently overheated iPhone battery started emitting smoke in a Zurich store. Talk about a baked Apple.

So were ICE raids on 7-Eleven just another way of going after states that have legalized marijuana? #Doritos.

Because of course everyone knows that Americans for years have been denied the chance to work at 7-Eleven. #Cruelpettystupid

Diet Coke is changing its look and its marketing due to slumping sales. Maybe bigger problem is that watching Trump is making America think the beverage causes dementia.

 

If ICE “really’ wanted to make a statement about no one being above the law, think they would consider massive unannounced raids at Trump properties?

An innocent man would be happy to talk to the FBI to set the record straight.

So Mexico is paying for wall, but US budget needs $18 billion for it.. Another of those time-share deals with “modest” annual fees?

With earthquake of the shore of Honduras plus tsunami warnings, I guess humming “The Morning After” on a cruise ship would be a bad idea. #Bustohell

Some say @SenFeinstein too old to run again for Senate. But besides fact women live longer than men, some advantages in having no more f*cks to give.#FusionGPS

“Sneaky Dianne Feinstein.” Couldn’t Trump have just called her a “Sneaky Woman?” That would look better on a best-selling t-shirt.

Now Trump is taking on Senator Dianne Feinstein. Pass the popcorn. Sorry Donny, you aren’t in her league.

Dianne Feinstein NEVER said there was no collusion. Lies, Damn Lies and Trumpisms.

On the other hand, “Sneaky Dianne” sounds like a good message for Senator Feinstein’s re-election t-shirts.

 

Horrible mudslides & death toll at 15 in California. Good to see @realDonaldTrump trying to be Presidential at least with “thoughts and prayers.” Wait, never mind.

And then there were two ones?

January 9, 2018

Gov. Rick Scott has just declared UCF college football champions. Hmm. When Florida gets a Democratic governor after 2018 elections can he/she just declare Hillary electoral college winner in state?

 

Agriculture Sec. Sonny Perdue introducing Trump at Farm Bureau “It’s okay to say, once again, Merry Christmas.” But it’s January. So is it also okay to say “Happy MLK Day?”

 

#Oprah would be a much better reality TV star President than #Trump, but doesn’t mean she is anywhere close to best candidate in 2020.

Guess I was wrong, I thought respecting the National Anthem meant learning all the words. @realDonaldTrump

 

With that miracle win last night it’s almost as if God said He/She approves of Alabama electing a Democrat. #RollTide #NationalChampionship

ESPN already has projected top 25 in college football for 2018. Don’t they want to see what players stay academically eligible first?

Trump has a point on chain migration. If we didn’t have dangerous people following their parents we wouldn’t have Jared and Ivanka in White House.’

 

Mitt Romney apparently was treated successfully for prostate cancer this past summer. Thinking at this point would rather have GOP senator with cancer, than one who IS a cancer.

Trump has a point on chain migration. If we didn’t have dangerous people following their parents we wouldn’t have Jared and Ivanka in White House.

 

Now it’s #TrumpTower on fire. Wonder which former Trump employee was popping too much popcorn?

When Mueller gets done restoring voting rights for felons may actually become a GOP priority. Because many Republicans will need that ever to vote again.

As much fun as it is to think about 2020 presidential election, thinking we Democrats first need to win races in 2018 to make sure we HAVE 2020 presidential election.

Steve Bannon fired from Breitbart. Wonder how many rocks they will have to overturn before a possible replacement slithers out?

Age and treachery

January 7, 2018

 

From  @NFLResearch after first half of NFC Wild Card game –  “Drew Brees’ 151.4 passer rating is the highest by any player in the first half of a playoff game (min. 10 attempts) since @kurt13warner in the 2008 NFC Championship (156.0 passer rating against Eagles) @Saints”

Spurs lose by 1 to Portland on the road with Kawhi, Parker etc, out  Manu Ginobili is the first player in his 40s to score 15+ points in back-to-back games since Michael Jordan in 2002-03.  If only San Antonio had a bit more maturity.

#Bills vs #Jaguars today in 1st NFL Wild Card Game. “I’ll take two teams that most Americans haven’t seen on TV this year for $400, Alex.”

If Colin Kaepernick goes ahead with his collusion trial he can put game tape of #Bills #Jaguars today as exhibit one. #NFLPlayoffs

 

Pretty clear we elected the wrong television star as President. #Oprah

But really, to be a #stablegenius don’t you have to win at least one Kentucky Derby?

-my sister suggests “Oh, that’s how he meant it. It makes so much more sense now. As horse’s asses go, he probably can be considered a genius.”

 

GOP governors in Florida & NH came out against offshore oil drilling plan. Waiting to see how Trump revises it only to drill off coasts of blue states.

As part of @realDonaldTrump’s am tweet storm – “Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!” So he’s admitting to having Alzheimer’s?

 

If Trump really wants to prove he’s a self-made billionaire (except for that little $1 million loan from his father) maybe he should release his tax returns?

So if  Fire and Fury  is all lies, why is Trump so furious about what  Steve Bannon  reportedly said?

 

Jake Tapper on CNN called Stephen Miller “obsequious”  and told him to “stop wasting his viewers’ time.  After the interview Tapper then said “Welcome back to planet Earth.” Will those be the first words we hear when Trump leaves the White House? ”

So who got to be the one who explained that “obsequious” meant to the #stablegenius today? #Trump #StephenMiller

 

 

Women aren’t surprised that @realDonaldTrump would get confused using the word “consensual.”

Turning it around?

January 6, 2018

Two questions as Raiders prepare to announce Jon Gruden as new head coach next week. 1. How long a contract. 2. How long before he gets fired?

 

Louisville QB Lamar Jackson is leaving early for NFL draft. Since ESPN rates him 7th best QB prospect guess he feels safe from being drafted by Browns.

As media reports on possible Patriots dissension over trading Garopollo perhaps worth remembering not that long ago SF 49ers thought Kaepernick was their franchise QB.

American Airlines flight from JFK to Cancun this morning had to turn around & land back at airport after reports that someone “mistakenly thought they saw an engine on fire.”
Thereby putting a planeload of people on their way to the beach back in #bombcyclone.
Guessing the culprit has a great future in Southwest commercials
#Wannagetaway

So who needs labor laws and regulations? Another American Airlines flight delayed an hour because low-paid subcontracted caterers who aren’t airline employees accidentally broken an exit sign in back of plane.

NY Times says Mueller has handwritten notes from Mr. Trump’s former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, about pressuring Comey. Can’t wait to see the nickname Trump comes up with for Preibus.

There were 2.06 million jobs created in 2017. There were 2.24 million created in 2016. . No one should spread his around as it will upset Trump.

US has warned people not to eat romaine lettuce after E. coli outbreak. How many kids telling their parents better to be safe and just skip salads.

 

So when can we expect tweet from @realDonaldTrump saying even his storms are biglier and better than Obama’s?

Most media outlets. “Is Trump Sane?” Fox News. “Is it time to impeach Hillary Clinton?”

So which genius in administration thought best way to deal w/ rumors of Trump dementia was having him appear on video tape at White House press conference?

 

Would Trump like to explain why he chose “Sloppy Steve Bannon” for one of most sensitive positions in White House – National Security Council?

 

 

As #FireAndFury breaks sales and library waitlist records, who’d a thunk @realDonaldTrump would be the greatest President for promoting reading ever?

So how long until Trump drops lawsuit on #FireAndFury and files another lawsuit demanding a cut of royalties?

Snowed under.

January 5, 2018

Waiting for @realDonaldTrump to take credit for fact that players on 24 NFL teams will be guaranteed NOT to kneel for anthem this upcoming weekend.  #Playoffs

 

Michigan may not be as thrilled with Jim Harbaugh  as they once were. But at least they didn’t still have Rich Rodriguez.

 

Despite the Blizzard of 2018, Patriots coach Bill Belichick indicated players better not be late to practice or they might be sent home. Wonder if that includes Brady.

Has anyone told #JeffSessions that “States Rights” are not “Confederate States Rights?”

If Congress decides to pass a law overriding Jeff Sessions’ reefer madness, would be perfect if Doug Jones casts deciding vote in Senate.

Normally when California gets any #earthquake people in rest of US say it’s a reason they wouldn’t live here. With #blizzard2018 they’re thinking, so what’s a little shaking?

Would really like to see Jeff Sessions tell @SenJohnMcCain to his face he shouldn’t be able to use medical marijuana.

Can understand Trump being vindictive enough to open up oil drilling off coast of California. But did he forget Florida voted for him?

Gov. Rick Scott on Trump’s offshore oil drilling plan – “crucial need to remove Florida from consideration.” In other words, f*ck up someone else’s state?#noshame #DeepwaterHorizon

Sean Spicer says he didn’t lie but “I did my best every day to do what I could to communicate what the President’s intentions were.” Might be the longest-winded oxymoron ever?

 

Remember those innocent days when we thought worst thing we could have to explain about a President to our children was a blow job?

You know, there have been supposed nasty tell-all books on Obama and Clintons; neither Barack, Bill nor Hillary ever threw hissy-fits and demanded the books not be sold.

Trump’s “cease and desist” demand on #FireAndFury is so guaranteed to increase book sales you have to wonder if Michael Wolff offered him a cut of profits?

Trump “I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book!”
Wolfe was at WH daily for months. So Trump expects us to believe he can keep dangerous people out of USA, but he can’t even keep an unwanted reporter out of the West Wing?

If it’s any consolation to Trump #FireAndFury will probably now sell a lot more copies than #WhatHappened.

 

With weather that may not hit the teens this weekend in Boston and Buffalo, how thankful are NFL fans that the Patriots have a bye, and the Bills have an away game?

 

From TC  “Buffalo Bills fans have donated over $100,000 to Bengals QB Andy Dalton’s charity for knocking The Ravens out of the playoffs and getting Buffalo in. So does anyone know the name of the receiver that caught the pass? ”  Just sayin….  (everyone knows who Malcolm Butler and Dwight Clark are

(Hey, does anyone know the name of any Bengals?  Or Bills?
