Midnight in America. And right now most of the world is going, “Go home America, you’re drunk.” #Election2016

Donald Trump may have gotten chance to #draintheswamp. How long until he realizes he is up to his ass in alligators? #Electionnight

–

So now that we’ve elected man behind the curtain, what happens when people of Oz figure out to pay no attention to him? #Election2016

–

Next up for the anti-elites? Only using doctors and lawyers who flunked out of medical and law school? #ElectionNight

–

Hope all those Americans who decided to lodge a protest vote for a candidate with no chance of win are feeling good about the election.

–

So how is America going to build that wall when Canada offers higher wages and starts building it first?

–

Exit polls @CNN: Only 25% said vote was based on dislike of other options. And voters complain CANDIDATES aren’t honest?

—

Playing #RollingStones “You can’t always get what you want” at Trump rally. Song from the movie #BigChill that started with a suicide

–

Fortunately #California just legalized marijuana. We may need it. #ElectionNight.

–

Just might be that our  founding fathers made a big mistake in allowing white men to vote.

–

And really, now #Trump  won #Wisconsin? Waiting for studies to come out to say excessive cheese consumption rots your brain. #Election2016-

–

#GoldGloves  announced tonight. Smart of #MLB to pick a night when nothing else important is going on.

Some Sanders supporters tweeting Bernie would have done better in swing states. This is why #Democrats don’t win every election. #Election

–

61% of Americans told exit pollsters Trump was not qualified, more said he didn’t have temperament to be President. So much for US supremacy.

–

Is it too soon to draft #VanJones for President in 2020? @CNN #ElectionNight @VanJones68

–

Since polls show that college educated voters went for Hillary, time for the #GOP really to cut student financial aid.

–

–

Alex Rodriguez donated $2700 to @HillaryClinton. Who knew – #ARod a #HRC fan. Or maybe he can’t stand idea of Pres. w/ bigger ego than him.

–

Colin Kaepernick, who has talked about a choice between “the lesser of two evils” told reporters he hasn’t voted today and has no plans to do so. Sounds like the same great decision making skill the 49ers QB has been showing in tough situations in the pocket.

–

Apparently on Instagram, a fan asked Gisele Bundchen – “Gisele I heard you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true??” Her answer: “NO!”
So is that a “NO!” for both of them? Or was she really saying “My husband cannot think and throw a football at the same time?”

–

So Kap decided not to vote. Leaving aside Clinton and Trump there are many propositions and local candidates on the ballot. Way to be a role model for those, especially young people, who want change. #WTF?

–

–

Interrupt this election for some bi-partisan good news: @BusterPosey @bcraw35 & @JoePanik all win #GoldGloves. #SFGiants

You better have voted, or be on your way to vote. Or else forfeit all bitching rights 🙂

Canadian readers, you are off the hook. And you done good last time. #JustinTrudeau

–

When I was a child, there were many who had the idea that a girl could grow up to be President. Harder to believe for the younger generation, when I was a child, many had the idea that growing up to be President was a GOOD thing, instead of “You’d have to be insane.”

–

Now that @HillaryClinton won #DixvilleNotch NH 4-2, waiting for @realDonaldTrump to say he’ll be building a wall & town will pay for it.

–

Americans are voting today.   Canadian consulates in U.S. wondering whether they should disconnect phones tomorrow for possible immigration questions

–

If Hillary wins we can move on to the really important stuff: Like what will Bill wear to inaugural & will his outfit go to the Smithsonian?

Hard to believe all polls will be closed & #Election2016 will be over in 24 hours. #ElectionCountdown for 2020 starts Wednesday

–

KellyAnne Conway, being questioned on Trump’s lack of charitable giving, responded that he is “somebody who has made such a tremendous sacrifice to run for president ― basically, a huge sacrifice ― didn’t need the money, didn’t need the fame, didn’t need the power, didn’t need the status. ”
And just think, since he announced, of all the grabbing Trump hasn’t been able to do….

–

Now @realDonaldTrump says #TomBrady & #BillBelichick have endorsed him. For those who needed any more reason to hate the #Patriots.

–

Donald Trump Monday mocked Jay Z and Beyonce’s performance of hip-hop music “The language is so bad and as they were singing — singing right? Was it talking or singing?”
Well, to be fair, there probably were at least a few African-American voters the Donald hadn’t offended yet.

–

So now that @realDonaldTrump’s aides have taken away control of his #Tiwtter account, what does the Donald do at 3am?

–

RIP Janet Reno. Some in the GOP can’t decide, should they attack Hillary now for any and all mistakes Reno made as Bill’s AG, or should they accuse the Clintons of having Janet killed because she knew too much?

–

A five-foot snake who somehow ended up in an overhead compartment on an AeroMexico flight to Mexico City got out and slithered down to some seats. No injuries. But it’s not enough that we have an election that has become a bad movie, now it’s airplane flights too?

–

Dallas Cowboys owner-GM Jerry Jones said “we don’t have any issues” over the latest domestic violence allegations involving star rookie Ezekiel Elliott.  “I’m shocked,” said nobody who remembers Dez Bryant and Greg Hardy.

Heard one of the SF 49ers this morning complaining that teams are now circling games against them on the calendar. Well, the team now has something in common with the Warriors, albeit for a different reason.

–

And if you didn’t already love Gregg Popovich, a little election diversion :http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/11/gregg-popovich-tim-duncan-spurs-love

This post got drafted two weeks ago and not posted.  So it’s out of order.  Blame Obama.

So the #WorldSeries winner in 2016 will be a team that hasn’t won in my lifetime. #Cubs #Indians

Clayton #Kershaw may be the “best pitcher in baseball.” But he’s no #Madbum.

–

This weekend we turn back the clocks 60 minutes. And next Tuesday #Trump #Pence try to turn the clock back 60 years. #ImWithHer

While they may not be a great team @Lakers without #KobeBryant are actually fun to watch again.

On Wednesday night, the Cubs’, David Ross became the oldest man ever to hit a home run in a World Series game 7. His reported words rounding the bases “You punks get off my plate.”

–

No 3:00am tweet from @realDonaldTrump today, in fact nothing between about 7p & 7a PST. Maybe election taking toll on his health. #stamina?

–

A new poll says that 40% of Millennials worry the election is rigged. And this is the generation that sexts and puts all of their personal lives online?

–

#RudyGiuliani laughed about #FBI leaks. “Darn right I heard about it.” Now denies it. Just found out being tipped would have been a crime?

–

#RememberWhenTrump, for most Americans was just a name on some casinos and a gaudy 5th Avenue Tower?

–

Harvard has cancelled the remainder of the 2016 men’s soccer season, over the discovery of “scouting reports,” dating from 2012, which ranked players on the women’s team on their looks and sex appeal with”the lewdest of terms.”
Okay, I get it, men can be pigs. But aren’t they being punished now not so much for their attitude and comments, but for being stupid enough to write this stuff down?

–

Fox News’s Bret Baier apologized today for saying Wednesday five foreign intelligence agencies had hacked Hillary’s email server, and that she faces a “likely” indictment over the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
Beier admitted the email alllegations came from a “single, anonymous source.” And that saying “likely” was a “mistake.”
Well, I’m sure all conservative websites will issue retractions immediately….

–

Chris Christie’s former aides were found guilty on all counts in their Bridgegate trial. Time for the FBI to announce there must be a connection to Hillary Clinton?

My friend Marc Ragovin  “Breaking news, Jim Comey has just announced the FBI is investigating allegations that HRC once drove across the GWB bridge.”

–

Just a thought for Hillary haters, many who don’t really love Trump either. Some insist Clinton’s health isn’t good enough to make it through a term, or that revelations over emails etc will mean she will be indicted and have to step down.
If they are right….then a vote for Hillary is a vote for Tim Kaine, who has the reputation of a reasonable man, especially compared to the Donald.. So what’s the problem?

Santa Clara has accused the 49ers of breaching their contract with the city and is threatening to take over management of Levi’s Stadium. What, did the Niners promise to field a professional team?

Reports are that the FBI reportedly interviewed Angelina Jolie for hours over Brad Pitt allegedly assaulting their teenage son.on their private jet. Can’t wait to see how the GOP spins this against Hillary Clinton. Surely there are emails.

–

Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says of the man who shouted “Jew-S-A!” at a Trump, his “conduct was deplorable. And had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him.”
Of course had he slammed Muslims, or Mexicans, or “nasty women,” have to wonder if he’d be asked on stage.

GOP  Halloween attack ad? “We’ve tried to bury Hillary Clinton so many times, she’s still alive, she must be a zombie.”

There have only been 5 teams in MLB history to have come back from 3-1 World Series deficits. All of them more recent World Series wins than the Chicago Cubs.

–

So how long until they sell t-shirts at #WrigleyField “Wait until next century”? #Cubs #WorldSeries

–

Corey Kluber, the latest member to the “Pitchers Who Rake” club.  Well, kinda sorta. (infield hit)  Somewhere #Madbum is smiling.

–

Maybe  Jose Fernandez toxicology report, showing he was legally drunk, and with cocaine in his system, will be  cautionary tale for young men who think they’re invincible?  For about five minutes. But we can dream.

–

–

NC Governor Pat McCory, in a tough re-election fight against Democrat Roy Cooper, is tired of questions about House Bill 2, the anti-LBGT law he signed. In an ad decrying political correctness McCory asks “Are we really talking about this?”
Maybe the question should be “Did you really sign this?”

–

Donald Trump today over Comey’s email announcement “This is the lowest point in the history of our country.” Uh, Donald, with your campaign it wasn’t even the lowest point this week.

–

SF  Giants bullpen has to be watching last two #NLCS #Dodgers #Cubs games & smiling “Not so easy, is it?”

–

Good thing for #Dodgers fans that #PedroBaez works so slowly most of them left to beat traffic and didn’t see top of 8th. #NLCS

–

#NLCSGame5, at #DodgerStadium in the 5th inning…there are several empty seats behind home plate? #WTF?

–

So by Trump logic,  since the Chicago Cubs are media darlings,  maybe the SF Giants should not accept their close NLDS games 1 and 4 losses, and show up at the World Series anyway?

Adrian Gonzalez before game 5 was still upset about that “out” call at the plate last night in the #NLCS. Tweeting today it was “Us against the world.” And yeah, it was a huge difference maker. Had the call be overturned the Dodgers would only have lost 10-3.

–

Although, as Bill Littlejohn says,  “Many shots of the NLCS show Larry King sitting in the background—as if the Cubs needed something else to remind them how long it’s been.”

NY Giants placekicker Josh Brown got only a one-game suspension, despite increasing evidence, including a journal given to police, that he abused his now ex-wife. Well, it’s not like he did anything really awful, like missing a game-winning kick.

–

The NCAA charged coach Rick Pitino has been charged with “failure to monitor” over the escort scandal at Louisville, but the university itself was not charged with any violations. Why? Presumably because, “well, it’$ Loui$ille ba$ketball.”

–

Apparently the new policy allowing Cuban cigars and rum to be brought back to the U.S. legally includes cigars and rum purchased on other Caribbean islands. Wonder if the rule grandfathers in such items already in the U.S. #askingforafriend.

–

Antonio Cromartie’s wife says that the Colts released her husband because he took a knee during the national anthem. Got news for her, if Cromartie was playing like Josh Norman and Richard Sherman, he could go down on both knees before every game.

Trump’s national political director, Jim Murphy, said today “I have not resigned but for personal reasons have had to take a step back from the campaign.”
Translation, Trump threatened to sue me if I actually quit?

–

In Kansas, GOP House Speaker Pro Tem Peggy Mast was bashing Planned Parenthood, and posted a video on FB today with the comment “Great quote from Hitler in the video. Please listen to it closely. His words are profound! Let’s start using discernment.” #Wearegoingtoneedabiggerbasket

Shocking. Donald Trump’s best punchline of the night at Al Smith dinner still comes at woman’s expense, in this case his wife: “The media is very biased.
Michelle Obama made a speech and everyone loves it, it’s fantastic.
My wife, Melania, gives the exact same speech. And people get on her case. And I don’t get it. I don’t know why. And it wasn’t her fault.’
