Didn’t we just finish the NBA season last month?

CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock told ESPN they’d postpone most of New Year’s Six bowl games, including semifinal games & national championship, if one or both teams can’t participate due to COVID-19 issues. Translation, for the TV money we’ll play in March if we have to.

Anyone playing this BS game about who won more counties or greater land area of the US in Presidential election… ?

If size matters then Justin Trudeau is leader of a more powerful country than the United States.

(land size, of course.)

Maybe helicopter pad at Alcatraz would be appropriate?

But seriously, naming an airport for Trump? And I thought renaming National Airport after the guy who fired all air traffic controllers & screwed up aviation for a decade was as bad as it got…. (I will NOT use that name, even as a travel agent.)

Tonight Rachel Maddow talks about Trump officials are getting anxious that Donald is “spending too much time with people they consider crackpots or conspiracy theorists.” Well, sadly at this point those folks are the only ones who won’t tell him he’s wrong….

Yes, California’s COVID cases are going up and it’s a scary headline. But look, even today at total cases this week per 100,000 California -4,834 Florida -5,887 With almost double per capita testing. While Florida Gov RonDeSantis keeps trying to take fake victory laps.

President-elect Joe Biden “I think the administration deserves some credit in getting this off the ground with Operation Warp Speed.” So he hasn’t even been inaugurated yet & Joe has said more nice things (one sentence) than Donald has said about him or any rival in four years.

Apparently Fox News hosts are complaining about Pete Buttigieg not being qualified as nominee to head Department of Transportation. Because he’s no… Elaine Chao? WTAF?

Checked out menu at Trump Hotel DC- steaks start at $55 & go up, salads $20 & up, even french fries $13…. And Donald insisted on business deductibility of meals. Four people having one dinner w/out wine or drinks could easily hit $600 Americans will receive in COVID relief..

Three martinis alone for two people at Trump’s DC hotel are $100 & that’s before the $55 & up steaks. But hey, if you think allowing that deduction is more important than a bigger stimulus check & aid to states, keep right on voting Republican. Otherwise, need to #FlipTheSenate

Can’t win for losing.

NY Jets’ inexplicable win today against Rams did make a few non-Jets fans happy – for starters New Orleans Saints fans who are competing with Rams for playoff seeds, Jacksonsville Jaguars fans, and Trevor Lawrence who probably preferred Florida to NY anyway.

Nothing is certain but death, taxes, and the Falcons blowing big leads against Tom Brady.

Big Ten just changed rules so players who have tested positive for COVID-19 no only have to miss 17 days, down from 21. Which means OSU can have some players back for Jan 1 game against Clemson. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Momma may have been partially right in Waterboy – NCAA “foosball IS da devil.”

So Notre Dame loses by 24 points to Clemson and is immediately rewarded with a CFP spot? Even some non-religious football fans are on their feet screaming Jesus!

Army, 9-2, now “bowl-less” after Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl has been canceled. Uh, think this problem might actually be suited for Donald’s capabilities. Demanding bowl bid for Army also much less dangerous than declaring martial law to overturn an election.

Washington Post reports “draft language of the emergency coronavirus relief package includes a tax break for corporate meal expenses.” One meal for two at French Laundry costs more than the $600 Mitch McConnell will give most Americans.

Wonder what percentage of meals at Mar-A-Lago are considered “business meals? We KNOW it’s about 100% of the meals at Trump’s DC hotel.

Perhaps with everything else that we need to revisit starting in 2021 could be the transition time between election and Presidential inauguration. As the Toddler-in-Chief tries to wreck everything on the way out, California also is basically missing a Senator.

100% support vaccines for all healthcare and essential frontline workers. And yes, admit we need to vaccinate US leaders. But someone tell me with a straight face that people like Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham couldn’t be replaced by cardboard cut outs.

Is it petty to think that Velveeta Voldemort’s weekend long tantrum has at least precluded him from spending this weekend golfing on the US taxpayer’s dime?

Folks, Mitch McConnell has ALL the power in Senate right now: If you’re outraged working-class Americans are getting same $600 wealthy corporate types can spend on one lunch they write off… until 2022 ONLY way to change this is to Flip the Senate on January 6.

A Rose Bowl by any other name?

Categories: Uncategorized

CFP semifinal scheduled for Rose Bowl moving to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. So can we call it the “Yellow Rose of Texas Bowl?”

Again, not actually watching NCAA football, but when Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly said his team would boycott the playoffs if players’ families couldn’t come…..? Well, looking at the Fighting Irish’s 34-10 loss to Clemson maybe Karma took care of that problem?

Coach Brian Kelly said #2 Notre Dame is “without question” one of top 4 teams in college football, despite 34-10 loss to #3 Clemson.

Uh, 4-5 Virginia, (0-4 in ACC) came closer to beating Clemson in October with 41-23 loss.

After USC lost yesterday to Oregon and fell out of CFP contention, Trojans announced they would not play in bowl game. Personally I think college football shouldn’t have been played at all in 2020, but seems a bit like NY Jets saying they wouldn’t participate in NFL playoffs.

I’m so old that remember when the worst nationwide joke on Saturday night was a lousy skit on SNL, not the occupant of the White House

Donald Trump TOLD us in 2016 he might not accept election results as ‘fair” if he lost. He TOLD us in 2020, with power of Presidency behind him, he wouldn’t lose a “fair” election. And some people are surprised he’s trying to pull out all the stops to stay in office?

Getting these BOGO offers for buying shoes. And after 2020 thinking what are “shoes?”

Unclear on the concept: Lyft sending me regular notices that they are giving me a discount on my next three rides. At the same time I live in a county with a “Stay-At-Home” order.

Kelly Loeffler has her own personal Bombardier CL30 private jet for campaigning & to commute to/from her various homes. Cost to fly such a plane – about $4,000 per HOUR. But Kelly doesn’t think Americans need even hundreds of dollars in stimulus checks.

Headline on Washington Post article “Why Congress went 8 months without new coronavirus relief as the pandemic worsened.” Uh, do we need a whole article? Two words: Mitch McConnell.

As horror stories pile up like unsorted mail, have to wonder, if Donald taking over the USPS after he leaves office? Remember Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn rule? “You break it you own it.”

Bad enough that GOP Senators who deny the need for COVID-19 relief are mostly multi-millionaires. Now the same GOP Senators who denied the need for mask and other mandates are jumping to the front of the line for COVID-19 vaccines.

These people are socially distanced from reality.

This Presidency is becoming a sad Trump version of Hotel California. “You can un-elect him any time you want, but he will never leave.”

So if Donald LITERALLY poured gasoline, lit a bunch of matches and set the White House on fire would GOP sycophants just stand around and comment on how it was helping him work through his disappointment?

No fighting for these Irish?

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly threatens not to play in College Football Playoff if players’ families can’t attend games. Fine by me.

Not watching college football in 2020 but understand Pac-12 was won by Oregon, which didn’t even win North division. But Ducks got into championship game against USC after Washington had to cancel due to COVID & Colorado was ruled ineligible due to being in South. Is NCAA great yet?

If ex football coach Tommy Tuberville is not going to accept the results of the election, then on January 6, Doug Jones should just refuse to vacate his seat in the Senate. Problem solved.

I’m sorry for all the vitriol and apparently even threats that Justice Roberts is getting right now. But wonder if John Roberts ever realizes that had he not voted for Citizens United, none of this might have happened?

Again, for those in back, there is ONE party who absolutely wants to #DefundThePolice. It’s the party trying to remove COVID-19 relief dollars going to state & local governments, $$ which are really needed to help pay for law enforcement during revenue shortfalls.

GOP IS defunding the police.

Even if we assume that Velveeta Voldemort is not actively working to hurt Americans who disagree with him, would anyone hire a man to run anything whose idea of top security password was “maga2020!”?

As MAGAs still attack the accomplished & hardworking Dr Biden have to ask – Jill is a beautiful woman now and was gorgeous as a young woman. Would GOP respect her more as a future first lady if she had done soft-core porn?

Anyone remember the Peter principle? VP Pence, chair of task force who said even on April 24 COVID-19 would be behind us by Memorial Day, was among first with his wife to be vaccinated while death toll approaches 9-11 EVERY DAY. Can we call this the Peter Principle Presidency?

I’m sure it’s very comforting to those with relatives in ICUs or who have already died in 2020 to know that today VP Pence got a COVID-19 vaccine and hosted a White House celebration for the one-year anniversary of Space Force.

Let this sink in again. Senator Ron Johnson, who’s been estimated to have a net worth between $10.4 million and $39 million, is blocking $1,200 stimulus checks for Americans making less than $75,000 a year.

California getting 40% fewer doses of vaccine next week than promised. Washington, Michigan and other states also complaining. Governor Whitmer actually blamed Trump. Funny, I don’t hear that many complaints from governors of red states? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Why do I have a feeling that places like Texas, Florida and South Dakota with science denying governors will be getting all the vaccine they need so Donald can claim their herd immunity strategies have worked?

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is talking about falling numbers of new cases and hospitalizations and deaths. Well, yeah, because many of the at-risk people in the state are already dead. –

(South Dakota’s death rate at 154 per 100,000 (with a case rate of 10,850(!) per 100,000 – yes, 10% of the state) is still three times higher than California’s death rate of 57 per 100,000.)

Residents near Mar-A-Lago trying to block Trump from retiring to his resort there pointing out a 1993 agreement where he said no one could stay longer than 21 days. And they may be getting traction. Sadly hilarious that West Palm Beach residents are managing to show more spine about evicting Donald than most GOP members of Congress.

More numbers games….

It’s only Thursday night and six NCAAF football teams ranked in the top 20 have already had games canceled over COVID-19 for Saturday. Over-under on the final total?

The Sun Belt Conference football championship game has been canceled. The game was to feature #19 Louisiana and undefeated #12 Coastal Carolina. Apparently it was a single COVID-19 test in the Coastal Carolina and then contact tracting making playing the game too dangerous.

Anyone else think if the same situation happened with an SEC team of the CFP bubble they might have figured out some way around this?


Newly elected Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama indicated that he supports a potential challenge to the electoral vote count when Congress convenes next month to formally affirm Biden’s win.

Who knew electing a washed-up football coach with absolutely no governmental experience might have consequences?

Although, Tommy Tuberville was at a Georgia rally for Loeffler and Perdue that he might challenge the election results on January 6. Uh, if the election was fraudulent, that means we keep Doug Jones in Alabama. Who wants to tell him?

I do really miss days when we political people who also love sports could find this one of the more outrageous stories of the week – “Florida is coming off a home loss to unranked LSU last weekend, but the Gators dropped only one spot to No. 7 in the CFP rankings.

So as Pfizer says they have “millions’ of unclaimed COVID-19 doses not being claimed, of course it could be incompetence. But considering Donald’s continued lies & rage at states that didn’t support him, isn’t it as likely to be another game for him of “quid pro quo?”

Jimmy Carter’s foundation says he will take the COVID-19 vaccine ‘when it is available to him.” Jimmy may not have been the best President I have ever voted for, but he is one of the best men who has ever held that office.

Pfizer “We have millions more (COVID-19 vaccine) doses sitting in our warehouse but, as of now, we have not received any shipment instructions for additional doses.” So how much is Donald going to use lack of distribution as a way to punish blue states?

Tucker Carlson said Dr. Jill Biden was “illiterate?” Would someone like to ask Melania, or for that matter Donald, on air, how to SPELL illiterate?

As Donald calls John McCain “overrated” have to think this would have never happened without an angry GOP rebuttal if McCain’s good friend Lindsey Graham were still alive.

Love the story about the Dutch hacker who guessed Donald Trump’s Twitter password being “maga2020!” But seriously folks, aren’t we a little surprised Donald’s password wasn’t in all caps?

Now, watching Mike Pence get vaccinated on TV may help sway some anti-vaxxers, which is a good thing. But as far as jumping the queue by being an “at risk” American or essential worker, Pence is only 61, doesn’t have co-morbidities, and he’s completely unnecessary in a month….

Open note to GOP: Millions of Americans who won’t be able to see their loved ones this holiday season, and in over 300,000 cases ever again, don’t give a damn about Hunter Biden.

And finally, your reminder that the man estimated to have about 50,000,000 fake followers on Twitter is still ranting about perceived fake votes.

Consistency.

In college football, undefeated Cincinnati, 8-0, is ranked #9, undefeated USC, 5-0, is ranked #13, while three two two-loss teams, Iowa State , Florida and Georgia are ranked #6 and #7 and #8

Not surprisingly, many are upset by what seem to be arbitrary and illogical CFB rankings. At least there’s some normalcy in 2020.

Although Drew Brees is practicing this week, Coach Sean Payton says the Saints QB has “a ways to go.” 49ers fans thinking “a ways to go” sounds better than what we got.

#NotTheOnion

Trump’s Twitter account was hacked, and the Dutch ministry confirms the hacker guessed the password – maga2020!

You can’t make this stuff up.

Marco Rubio clutching his pearls because Biden’s campaign manager & future deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon called GOP in Congress a bunch of f*ckers.

Missed Rubio’s outrage when Donald’s lawyer suggested Chris Krebs be “drawn and quartered.”

Jen was right.

After Pete Buttigieg said he proposed at United Gate B5, @fly2ohare now calling themselves on Twitter -“O’Hare Intl. Airport – Place of romance & official O’Hare Intl. Airport (ORD) twitter feed.”

Wonder how many relationships HAVE started in O’Hare lines or during flight delays?

(Or less romantically, how many couples have split in such situations?)

Paraphrasing what Joe Biden once said about Rudy Giuliani – All of Donald’s Trump’s sentences are now lies with a noun, a verb, and “voter fraud.”

On a day when NY Times writes “Russian espionage attack on U.S. government & private companies, underway since spring & detected only a few weeks ago, is among greatest intelligence failures of modern times,” Fox News headlines are about the threat from… China??!

As Palm Beach residents try to keep Donald Trump from breaking a 1990s agreement where he promised not to live at Mar-A-Lago more than 21 days straight can you blame them?

Given Donald’s love for attention, imagine security & media circus in neighborhood on a regular basis.

Mitch McConnell controls Senate but any GOP Senator could have said publicly Mitch needed to call vote on COVID relief bills.

Even opportunists like Loeffler & Perdue could have done so after Nov. election. They said nothing. They didn’t care. Georgia deserves better.

Loeffler & Perdue also issued statement saying they’d protect Atlanta Braves name. “Problem with the statement is Braves have never said they plan to change name.

They’ve said the opposite actually.” No dog whistle left unblown.

Today Cory Booker spoke about a bill to improve privacy of judges & add other safeguards against violence & threats about judges after judge’s son was killed in assassination attempt. Scary that we need this bill. Scarier we now really need such a bill for election workers.

Since Trump signed a deal in 1993 that no one can stay at Mar-A-Lago for more than 21 days that means it’s not really his home. Also means that DONALD committed Voter Fraud. Lock him up.

CNN Chyron says that “WH creates spreadsheet to track “crazy” influx of pardon requests.” Assume the spreadsheet includes space to keep track of current $$$ bids.

More almost 2:00am rambling and angry tweets from Velveeta Voldemort, 43 days after the election.

“Dear White House staff, could you switch to Caffeine-Free Diet Coke?” Asking for a really tired country.

Gentlemen, start your baskets?

NBA preseason is officially underway.


But seriously, with the regular season so much a nonissue for so many teams, shouldn’t we call this the pre-preseason?

Bad news for Bucks’ rivals, either in the East or in free agency – Giannis Antetokounmpo has signed a five year $228 million contract to stay in Milwaukee. So will any other team in the NBA try to hire Rudy Giuliani to try to overturn this Wisconsin result?

Michigan-Iowa has been canceled this weekend, along with Indiana-Purdue. Does NCAA really expect us to believe that this college football season exists now for any other reason than big televised playoff games?

Woke up on Tuesday to see that Donald Trump, who supported Republican Brian Kemp’s election as Governor of Georgia, now RTed a post saying Kemp and Georgia’s GOP Secretary of State should be in prison….

We really need an advent calendar for January 20, 2021. And it might need to have miniature liquor bottles in it.

Besides Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell is the Republican who’s done most to subvert democracy; blocking Merrick Garland, installing right wing judges, not allowing votes on bills to help Americans survive. MAGAs still turned on him for saying President-Elect Biden.

Dr. Frankenstein’s monster is loose.

Betsy Devos apparently urged her staff at Dept of Education to ‘be the resistance’ as Biden takes over. So petty, Betsy couldn’t even ask them to help provide protection for Joe against grizzly bears?

As we begin to see light at the end of Trump tunnel – your reminder how all Democratic candidates came together to support Joe Biden. I’m a proud moderate Democrat myself. But while we hope GOP will give Biden a chance hoping various factions of our party will do the same thing.

Pretty sure all of us Democrats have at least one person who we would have urged Joe Biden not to choose for his team. Not the point. The worst choice Joe has made, whoever you think that is, is better than the best of Donald’s administration.

Safety net.

Saddest people who weren’t Browns fans at end of MNF? Gamblers who had bet on Cleveland, as Ravens were favored by 3 points, and the Browns crazy series of laterals at the end the game with 2 seconds less, resulted in a safety and a 47-42 loss, instead of 45-42, which would have been a push.

Roger Goodell said COVID-19 vaccine priority obviously should for “health care workers, first responders & those in riskiest state. We don’t fall into those categories; we don’t anticipate that & we’re not planning for that.” Some thought it couldn’t be done but Donald gave NFL moral high road

So who do we think actually wrote Attorney General Bill Barr’s “resignation” letter?

Today Senate Majority whip John Thune, “I think once the electoral college settles the issue, it’s time for everybody to move on.” Still nothing from McConnell. We’ll only know he’s accepted President-Elect Joe Biden when Mitch vows to make Joe a one-term president.

Today Senate Majority whip John Thune, “I think once the electoral college settles the issue, it’s time for everybody to move on.” Still nothing from McConnell. We’ll only know he’s accepted President-Elect Joe Biden when Mitch vows to make Joe a one-term president.

Random quote I stumbled upon from Nora Ephron. Seems particularly appropriate these days though – ““Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.”

Kelly Loeffler actually appeared with Gym Jordan at rallies today in Georgia. If only Jordan had spent half the energy trying to protect those college wrestlers from sexual assault as he is trying to protect those who now assault our democracy.

Kelly Loeffer pretends she didn’t know who former KKK leader Chester Doles was when she posed w/him for picture. Uh, in Sept 2020, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported “Marjorie Taylor Greene had Doles escorted out of September rally Loeffler briefly attended.” When you’re known & too crazy for Q-Anon.

Today, while many Georgians struggle during this pandemic, Jon Ossoff and Reverend Warnock are talking about Health, Jobs and Justice.

While Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue put out a statement assuring Georgians they will resist all efforts to rename the Atlanta Braves. No joke.

#Priorities

Wait, Press Secretary Barbie is complaining on Twitter that Joe Biden gave a “DIVISIVE” speech and “should never utter the words unprecedented assault on democracy.” Is she auditioning to play herself on SNL?

In Michigan, State House, Capitol & Senate office buildings are closed during Electoral College meeting – “not made because of anticipated protests, but based on credible threats of violence.” Are we great yet?

Remember when Wisconsin voters were forced to line up, some in garbage bags, to vote in April? In that election they chose liberal Jill Karofsky for the Supreme Court. Monday that court ruled 4-3 to confirm Biden’s win. State and local elections matter.

As the Electoral College certifies Biden’s win today Stephen Miller tells Fox News that Donald will have votes from “alternate slate of electors.” Have to assume the only college this alternate slate could be from is Trump University.

As Joe Biden wins again, this time with the electoral college voting, this is beginning to feel like we’re on an endless loop of watching Dorothy melt the witch in Oz.

Well, to be fair, not like Donald Trump accepts as factual the number 306 when it’s on his scale either.

For want of a shoe.

Florida lost against LSU in part because of a late game 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when a Gator defender threw a shoe from a Tigers’ player that came off in his hand when he tackled him.

Tough lesson for Marco Wilson but at least if the kid goes pro he will be ready for major NFL fines over stuff like shoes and socks.

Well at least losing 40-3 against the Seahawks meant no last second heartbreak this week for Jets fans.

Minnesota Vikings placekicker Dan Bailey missed all three field goals and an extra point against the Buccaneers.

Uh, if Vanderbilt classes are over for the year, is Sarah Fuller available?

Cleveland’s baseball team plans to drop name Indians after 105 years. So who’s next…. the Braves? Or the “White” Sox? Actually for that matter waiting for Southern states to tell NY to drop Yankees.

Georgia Supreme Court deals Trump team yet another loss today. Someone needs to tell Donald this isn’t like the Super Bowl in dealing with Georgia. He’s not going to come back from anything like a 28-3 deficit.

Understand it’s a lot to expect Americans to volunteer for military & potentially risk their lives to protect their fellow citizens. But whoever thought that a bridge too far for millions of us would have turned out to be a cloth face covering?

If you feel safe in public without a mask, but don’t feel safe in public without a gun – you might want to rethink your risk assessment skills.

Should we be shocked that many Americans ignore CDC in favor of people like Trump & Florida Gov. DeSantis who say mask-wearing is unnecessary?

Same country where we regularly have fad diets that say you can have as much “fill-in-the-blank” as you want or drink some magic potion & still lose weight.

So would Donald like to tell American people why he and his mob family need to go to front of the line for a vaccine for a virus that is 99.9% harmless?

So we didn’t vote for the lady with the private email server in order to elect a guy who just let Commerce and Treasury departments get hacked AND fired our top cybersecurity expert.

Are we great yet?

Once again, if Democrats really did have both ability & immorality to steal the 2020 election, don’t you think we’d have gotten rid of Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham too?

At yesterday’s pro-Trump rally, protesters shouted “Destroy the GOP” and booed Georgia Senators David Perdue & Kelly Loeffler. So wonder what Republican plan is to close the Pandora’s box after Donald is gone?

Great opening line from Washington Post – “Thousands of maskless rallygoers who refuse to accept the results of the election turned downtown Washington into a falsehood-filled spectacle Saturday, two days before the electoral college will make the president’s loss official.”

Sarah Fuller today kicked TWO PATS (point after touchdown) for Vanderbilt in a 17-42 loss to Tennessee. Coach Todd Fitch later said plan was to give her kicks inside 10-yd line;… that in practice, Sarah was better than other kickers on the roster at short range: “It was truly off statistics of week’s preparation…(she) made most of those kicks.” #PlayLikeAGirl

(of course the bigger story for 0-9 Vanderbilt, that the Commodores actually SCORED two touchdown.)

Arizona fired coach Kevin Sumlin today, after the Wildcats’ 12th straight loss yesterday night 70-7 (!) loss to ASU. With a record like that in Arizona wonder if Sumlin will be asked to join Trump’s legal team?

Joe Biden has won so many times now in Wisconsin his team should be bowl-eligible.

Wikipedia took down the edit someone made to the description of Joseph Epstein on his page after he attacked Jill Biden in the Wall Street Journal for using the “Dr.” title despite her PhD . Phooey. So I guess we just need to share amongst ourselves. “Misogynistic condescending jackass, Essayist, short-story writer, editor, teacher.”

How much would I like to see, to one of their faces, Joseph Epstein refer to Dr. Condoleezza Rice or Dr. Angela Merkel as “kiddo?”

Speaking of Doctors, a good Clinical Psychologist with a PhD or PsyD might be able to help Joseph Epstein with his feelings of inadequacy.

So where is the WSJ article saying how wrong it was for Scott Atlas, a non-practicing neuroradiologist to be acting like an infectious disease doctor?

So what’s Donald’s next step? An election appeal to the Supreme Food Court – With Justices Burger and Sotomayor McCheese?

Once again. “Parler” – French for talk. MAGAs can’t even come up with a Twitter alternative without help from a foreign country.

If Velveeta Voldemort had only fought COVID-19 half as hard as he is fighting to overturn the election, he might have actually won the election.

Molly Ivins quote of the night – “What you need is sustained outrage…there’s far too much unthinking respect given to authority.”

Final upbeat note:

It is now fewer days (38) until Joe Biden is inaugurated, until it has been days (40) since Biden won the election.

Bad wording/timing award to Kyrie Irying, fined $25,000 for not speaking with media ” I do not talk to pawns. My attention is worth more.”

Did someone tell Kyrie the most loved show in America this year might be “The Queen’s Gambit?”

As a Saints fan, I understand not getting over it when you get cheated out of a win by a bad call.

But Donald Trump’s refusing to accept election loss is as if every replay in the 2019 NFC Championship game showed LA’s Robey-Coleman hadn’t been within 10 yards of New Orleans WR Tommylee Lewis.

Well, if the 126 GOP members of House really feel strongly that November election was invalid they can always resign their seats in protest!

One of many WTF moments for the day – Diamond and Silk tweeting – “If the Supreme Court can’t save our Republic, then where is the Military?”

Uh, you mean the military that Donald called “Suckers and losers?

“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.”

Joe Biden has won, again.

Donald Trump thought he’d bought & paid for three Supreme Court Justices. Again I give you Molly Ivins, with Molly’s paraphrase of an old quote “As they say around Texas Legislature, if you can’t drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money & vote against ’em anyway, you don’t belong in office.”

In the Orlando Sentinel apology for endorsing Congressman Michael Waltz “During endorsement interview didn’t think to ask ‘Would you support effort to throw out votes of tens of millions of Americans in four states to overturn election in order to hand it to person who lost, Donald Trump?’

Our bad.

RBG died on Sept 18, 2020, just after as Americans had begun voting, as Amy Klobuchar said, “in droves.” GOP ignored early voting & in 38 days rammed through her replacement.

Now it’s 38 days after Nov 3 after voters spoke “in droves’ & pretty clear Trump’s GOP never planned to accept those votes either.

Risk reward…

Coach K has decided that Duke won’t play any more non-conference basketball games this season due to COVID. (And the Blue Devils HAVE lost two nonconference games.)

Meanwhile Alabama’s men’s basketball coach Nate Coats – “Humans, they’re not made to sit alone in isolation for weeks on end. We have to be careful on how we do life, but we still have to do life.”

Or do death as the case may be?

The “SF” 49ers are playing a “home” game in Glendale, AZ on Sunday. against “The Washington Football Team.”

So, Phoenix is only an hour flight from SF. Will NFL and Fox still show pictures of San Francisco Sunday during 49ers game in Arizona? It usually takes longer than an hour to drive to SF from Santa Clara.

Drew Brees probably won’t play Sunday. But three weeks after eleven broken ribs and a collapsed lung Brees, 41, was at a New Orleans Saints practice. In case you’re feeling like it’s hard to get up and get moving these days.

It’s not just that Giuliani, Carson and Christie get lifesaving antibody cocktails most of us can’t. It’s that the three of them getting the drugs means three other people with severe COVID-19 may have died because they couldn’t get those doses.

Remember when we thought “Election” involving Tracy Flick at Carver High was as twisted a plot line as we could imagine?

CNN now reports “106 House Republicans support Trump’s lawsuit to invalidate millions of votes.” So would they all like to resign their seats since they were themselves re-elected in November?

I understand that certain professions, like police or firefighter, carry with them an assumed risk of personal danger. Election official should not not be one of those professions.

So if Newsmax is the Fox substitute and Parler is the Twitter substitute, who is Donald going to say gave him the REAL Person of the Year award?

Many are calling Loeffler and Perdue the “Bonnie and Clyde” of corruption. But that doesn’t seem fair “Bonnie and Clyde” just robbed banks. Not our country.

Now that the Hunter Biden investigation is back what’s next? Trump and GOP somehow trying to convince us Santa and his reindeer are an immigrant caravan?

So when are we going to find out priority on the COVID-19 vaccine list for the first month will be linked to whether or not a state joined Trump’s fraudulent suit. Asking for a country that is really tired of this crap.

So will someone explain to me how letting millions of Americans go hungry and worry about being evicted in December isn’t a REAL war on Christmas?

“Texas is the national laboratory for bad government.” I might have to post one of her quotes every day for the rest of the year – . Damn I miss Molly Ivins.

LSU says they will self-impose an NFL bowl ban this season over improper booster payments.

LSU is 3-5.

This is like any team 2 or more games under .500 (and not in the NFC East) saying they will self-impose a playoff ban.

After a dismal year, Stephen Curry says he looks forward to the Warriors’ opportunity to start “at ground zero again.”

And Sacramento Kings fans are just weeping.

What’s next in Georgia? Donald offers if they declare him the winner he’ll invite Falcons to the White House as 2017 Super Bowl champions?

All 50 states have now certified election results. Next step – Donald Trump attacks the deep state “Electoral College?

So maybe as USA faces close to over 300,000 empty chairs this Christmas due to COVID-19 we might acknowledge it was a bad idea to elect a President who loves and would miss NO one except himself.

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy still won’t accept the results of November election and declare Joe Biden President-elect.

So does that mean the handful of races in California where GOP beat Democratic incumbents don’t count either?

Kelly Loeffer is worth $1 billion David Perdue is worth $16 million. Both made millions w/ Senate insider trading

Wasn’t point of electing rich people that they were already wealthy so wouldn’t be tempted to enrich themselves in office?

So remember when Heather Heyer was killed & we had that brief moment of mostly national unity in understanding that there WEREN’T many fine people on both sides. Thinking now if someone gets killed over these election lies GOP will now unite to blame the victim.

Tonight, Katie Porter pointed out on “The Last Word” how Mitch McConnell won’t allow any relief if corporations aren’t protected from lawsuits or liability.

“It is not an epidemic of lawsuits, or liability… “Not only are corporations people to Mitch, they are the most important people.

Quote from Dec 9…. “continuing the count” would threaten “irreparable harm” to the President-elect “by casting a cloud upon legitimacy of his election.”

Not today. Not about Biden. Dec 9, 2000.

And the writer was Antonin Scala at the Supreme Court. Joe Biden won. Can we be done now?

Daily Mail headline “Trump claims he will ‘intervene’ in Texas AG’s Hail Mary Supreme Court bid to overturn election despite justices smacking down Republicans’ only other case – and ex-stripper Mellissa Carone is a star witness.” Even SNL is going “no, we’re good.”

Meanwhile, in Fox News world, after the obligatory Hunter Biden story, this headline “Not a Lone Star – These states move to suppress Texas’ bid to delay elector appointment.”

Uh, brings to mind my mother telling me, if a friend did something I wanted to do “If they were going to play jump off a cliff would you do it too?

Thinking if you REALLY wanted a War on Christmas, one blueprint would be to kill about 3,000 Americans a day, have almost 2 million a week get sick & keep many of the rest of us sequestered at home through the holidays. While crippling USPS as far as mailing gifts and cards.

Passing the buckeyes.

Well Michigan fans, in 2020 at least Jim Harbaugh won’t lose to Ohio State again. #smallmercies

And besides OSU-Michigan being cancelled, now the Indiana-Purdue game is iffy due to COVID-19 cases.

Somehow I missed recent White House tweets taking credit for Big Ten football.

So when this pandemic is over will NFL find a way to continue Tuesday Night Football?

Apparently Jenna Ellis has COVID-19 & per Axios attended “senior White House staff party last Friday where “People brought their families.” Considering super spreader events that have already happened isn’t bringing families to WH now grounds for charges of child endangerment?

So maybe Joe Biden could consider appointing Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson as Ambassador to Russia. Would put Ron closer to his boss Vlad, and Governor Evers could appoint a replacement who actually cares about Wisconsin.

Wait, Andrew Giuliani says “My dad has improved significantly over the last 48 hours and continues to get better.” I thought Rudy had very mild symptoms? Is there nothing they won’t lie about?

Roche CEO said today even with vaccines, “Demand for coronavirus tests will probably outstrip supply for a long time.” Wait, what happened to “Everyone who wants a test can get a test?”

Since “War on Christmas” is still a thing, your reminder that when packages and cards get delayed and/or go missing, Election “vote-by-mail” saboteur Louis DeJoy is the man who “fixed” the USPS this summer.

Nevada Supreme Court the latest to turn down Trump’s request to overturn the election. At this point why is Donald bothering with courts when his most servile sycophants are in Congress. Maybe Moscow Mitch would stop confirming judges long enough to call for a vote on election results?

Mitch McConnell when asked if he accepted Biden’s victory. “This has become a weekly ritual. Electoral college is going to meet on 14th & cast a vote & we’re going to have a swearing-in of the next president on the 20th of January.”

What’s Mitch’s excuse on the 14th going to be?

(And btw, Mitch, want to STOP the weekly ritual? Let’s make it simple. Three little words ” Joe Biden Won.”)

Joe Biden mispronounces his HHS choice Xavier Becerra’s name. Donald Trump still insists he won the election. Yeah, seems worthy of equivalent media coverage.

(And I live in California, I voted for Xavier Becerra, I’ve seen him speak live. I still don’t think I know how to pronounce his name.)

Donald’s Executive Order insists America must have 1st priority on all COVID vaccines.

Dude, when you wouldn’t commit to buy doses from Pfizer they sold to other countries.

It’s like refusing to put ring on your girlfriend’s finger & objecting at her wedding to someone else.

Final score

Another back to back since I forgot to hit “publish” Sunday night.

So wait, the Washington NFL football team showed it was possible to have an upset win in Pennsylvania without threatening someone to change the score after the game was over?

WTF. As someone who has rooted against the Pittsburgh Steelers since I read the Ben Roethlisberger police report on his “alleged” rape years ago, I stopped paying attention to the game when they went up 14-0 on Washington.

Apparently so did the Steelers. (Washington came back and won 23-17)

Used to look on Monday for College Football Rankings. Now we look to see which games were postponed due to COVID-19. This week so far it’s Ole Miss-Texas A&M

ESPN reports, new NBA policies for 2020-21 regular season will have “significant flexibility to teams resting players in non-nationally televised games.” So does this mean non-televised games won’t count as much in the standings?

RIP Chuck Yeager, 97. But if ANYONE could be in heaven before the Devil knew he was dead…

Now former Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended for a year indefinitely for orchestrating Saints “Bountygate” and accused with other teams of pushing players to injure opponents, yet Williams has had no problem getting employed regularly with four different teams since 2012.

But single-coverage in Hail Mary situation, THAT gets you fired in NFL

Velveeta Voldemort has a “Vaccine Summit” tomorrow and actual vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna have declined invitations. Because they couldn’t keep a straight face while listening to him take credit for all of it?

Why would representatives from Pfizer and Moderna want to attend Donald’s Vaccine Summit anyway? A summit that is likely to be another super spreader White House event. Would be like cancer researchers attending a meeting in a cigarette factory.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will Joe Biden’s new “chief medical officer” said he doesn’t expect to play a dramatically different role than he is supposed to play under President Trump.

“Supposed to play.” Who knew Dr. Fauci had master troll potential?

Why is ANY Governor taking Donald Trump’s calls any more?

Donald was quoting Ken Starr about the mail-in rejection rate being “minuscule compared to what it used to be.” and that it meant “massive numbers of bad votes.”

Uh, Ken Starr was fired from Baylor for covering up sexual abuse while he wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars investigating Clinton over a consensual affair…. but you do you, Grandpa.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent armed goons in to raid the home of Rebekah Jones, a data scientist who challenged him on COVID-19 data. So is he angling early to be Velveeta Voldemort’s 2024 running mate?

Ooh, Rachel Maddow tonight just referred to Donald Trump as “Spiro Agnew’s spiritual doppelganger.” And I am SO here for it.

Don’t watch The View but Ana nails it “That empty podium projected more warmth & humanity than Kelly Loeffler. She sounded like programmed robot…like my alarm system when it tells me my door is ajar. She just repeated ‘left, radical, socialist.’”

I’m watching replays of Kelly Loeffler answering (or rather not answering) every single question in Sunday night Georgia Senate debate without her hair extensions so much as moving a millimeter & I never want to hear a joke about Amy Klobuchar’s bangs in the Democratic debates again.

We all knew that Donald would lie.

A loss makes him sulk, whine and cry

But GOP all being loath

To remember their Oaths.

Well that IS how democracies die.

Hail no… coverage?

NY Jets show that you need real talent to have a perfectly imperfect season. 46 yard winning TD pass for Raiders with 5 seconds left and it was a Hail Mary into single coverage.

On the other hand, how crazy was it? Unlike the NBA, NFL doesn’t have penalties for flopping, or tanking.

With his first two TD passes of his NFL career, New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill is now only 563 behind Drew Brees.

Ohio State is a 30 point favorite over Michigan next Saturday. At this point the Wolverines might be the only team in football secretly hoping for cancellations due to COVID 19 tests.

So basically GOP COVID-19 plan is – 99.9% of our rich leaders get the expensive antibody treatment so we can claim the virus is harmless.

The rest of you are dying to re-elect them.

Meanwhile, as CDC discusses travel risks…. So how many people did Rudy infect on his subverting democracy tour?

And wait, Rudy Giuliani’s COVID-19 diagnosis was reported by Velveeta Voldemort himself on Twitter. So add to the rest of his misdeeds can we add a HIPAA violation?

COVID death toll over 280,000. But I’m sure all those who have lost loved ones, or know someone in hospital, despite their best efforts, will be comforted to know Rudy Giuliani, who publicly ignored CDC guidelines, will get very best care money can buy at taxpayer expense

Jon Ossoff faced an empty podium today in a one-person “debate” after David Perdue refused to participate. GOP couldn’t even replace the coward with Clint Eastwood’s empty chair?

Wonder what it would have taken to get Perdue to show up… if someone promised him a couple good stock tips?

Gym Jordan tweets “Durham confirms what we already knew. James Comey’s FBI was out to get President Trump.”

Right, Comey torpedoes Hillary just before 2016 election so he can install Donald and then take him down? Makes perfect sense.

Kelly Loeffler in Georgia Senate Debate talked about growing up on a farm, and said she lived the American dream….

Loeffler financed her MBA by mortgaging land from her grandparents. Why didn’t all Americans who are now buried under student loan debt think of that?

Or did she mean the American Dream was growing up as a young girl to marry a billionaire?

I seriously am having Disney World flashbacks watching Kelly Loeffler “It’s a small minded world after all?”

Okay, Botox tonight is trending on Twitter and didn’t even have to click on it to know people are talking about Georgia Senate debate. But hey, we shouldn’t don’t care what Loeffler puts inside her face. We should care about her insider trading.

Keeping on…

Not watching college football because I don’t think they should be playing during this pandemic. But if we’re going to talk College Football Playoff contenders my money’s still on COVID-19.

(And besides, if anyone really wants to see top amateur talent, the Jaguars and Jets are playing Sunday early games.)

From ESPN after Alabama beat LSU 55-57 today – “The electricity went out at Alabama’s team hotel a half-hour before the pregame meal and coaches and players were forced to eat in the dark. “Stuff happens,” Saban said, “and everybody keeps on keeping on.”

Gosh, “forced to eat in the dark.” Does this qualify the Crimson Tide for a nomination for 2021′ ESPY “Arthur Ashe Courage Award?

So Hillary conspired with Russia to lose an election in 2016, and GOP Gov. Brian Kemp conspired with Stacey Abrams to have Trump lose Georgia in 2020. Are Republicans stupid, or do they think we are?

More Democrats condemned Bill Clinton for lying to cover up a consensual affair than Republicans are condemning Donald Trump for lying to subvert democracy.

Snarky but serious question: Wonder how many of Trump’s MAGA supporters at his vanity rallies would be able to get past the gates if they tried to visit Mar-A-Lago?

Not that he would ever do it, but if Hunter Biden became a partner in an expensive Washington, D.C. hotel and Democrats started having events at taxpayer expense there, GOP would be cool with that, right?

“Have a great Saturday evening — even if you’re not jetting off somewhere at taxpayer expense.” Republican National Committee May 2009 – when @BarackObama had audacity to take Michelle on a date night to NY.

But jetting off to Georgia, to subvert democracy, that’s ok. Got it.

If Georgia GOP Senate candidates were just toeing Republican line, they could campaign just on keeping Mitch McConnell as majority leader.

Instead, they campaign as supporters of a would be dictator.11337

So if GOP wants to cut cost of COVID relief bill, why don’t they suggest a compromise that eliminates funding for red states whose governors still don’t believe the virus is serious?

USA now reporting a third of the world’s new COVID-19 infections! Are we tired of winning yet?

Almost wish I had one of the My Pillow guy’s pillows so I could burn it.

South Dakota has officially now 1,091 Covid-related deaths. .123 of the state’s population, and over 85,000 cases, almost 10% of the state’s population

Just for comparison, those percentage numbers in California would be over almost 50,000 deaths and 3.8 million cases.

Lindsey Graham: “When I go to meet God at the pearly gates, I don’t think he’s going to ask me, ‘Why didn’t you convict Trump?'”

Think Lindsey isn’t reading his boarding pass correctly.

He’s not exactly a quick study. Took Gov. Brian Kemp until APRIL to say he learned COVID-19 could be transmitted by people who were asymptomatic. And even Kemp knows Biden won Georgia.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton had called Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and demanded he overturn his state’s results in the 2016 election.

The first time Mitch McConnell will publicly accept the election results will be when he vows to make Joe Biden a one term President.

Comedy writers need to mark January 23 on their calendars: It will be the first Saturday night in recent memory that if we’re looking for easy material we won’t just be able to look at the President’s tweets.

Running up the score.

As Donald keeps whining like a petulant child about Georgia recounts at least the Atlanta Falcons must be happy. Their blown 28-3 Super Bowl lead is no longer the state’s most embarrassing loss ever.

Over 50% of small businesses who applied didn’t get a PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady’s merchandise and supplements company – TB12- received over $960,000 from the Federal Government.

That must make business who were turned down feel as deflated as the Patriots’ balls.

From Marc Ragovin “The Cubs have cut ties with Kyle Schwarber. I should have known his stock was falling when David Purdue placed a massive sell order the other day”

Unclear on the concept – latest Safeway ad has a $5 discount coupon for party trays.

California certification Friday puts Joe Biden officially over the top on electoral votes.

Of course, Trump team could challenge I suppose, Donald only lost the state by over FIVE million votes.)

Meanwhile an anti-lockdown protestor in California said I’d rather ‘put a bullet in my head’ than take COVID vaccine – Well, at least that way he wouldn’t spread the virus:

Florida Governor Ron De Santis yesterday attacked the “crazy rulings” of Chief Justice John Roberts…. Yes, GOP has gone that far off the rails.

Since neither Senator David Perdue nor Senator Kelly Loeffler will neither publicly confirm Biden won Georgia, nor agree with GOP election officials who are ALSO officiating the runoff, why are they bothering to tell Republicans to vote? Asking for a country that is tired of this crap.

So is there an inventory on thing like White House silver and other valuables?

Asking for a country that might want to hire security to check a certain family on the way out like they check your receipt and carts at Costco?

Open note to GOP Senators and Governors. Donald is calling his longtime sycophant Georgia Governor Brian Kemp a “moron” & a “nut job.” It’s only a matter of time until he turns on you too. So why not abandon ship now with the shreds of your dignity you have remaining?

In many ways, reports of GOP leaders quietly telling Joe Biden they know he’s won is worse than them believing Donald. Because they’re letting millions of Americans be permanently gaslighted so they don’t get mean tweets from Velveeta Voldemort.

So so much winning.

Biden’s doing more winning in Wisconsin than the Badgers last time they made it to the Rose Bowl.

MSNBC Election analyst Steve Kornacki, wearing khakis of course, will appear before kickoff on Sunday Night Football to discuss the NFL playoff picture with all possible scenarios.

Who’s playing Sunday night? Who cares? For the first time, millions of Americans will turn in just for the pre-game show.

Between 1983 and 1988, Columbia Lions Football team set what was then a NCAA record by losing 44 in a row. Trump’s legal team is well on their way to surpassing that streak!

Remember how many in GOP called Al Gore a sore loser for not conceding for a month when it actually was a legitimately contested election?

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, who has refused a mask mandate, declared Thursday a “day of prayer and fasting” for those affected by the pandemic. Talk about sending your constituents up Stitt’s Creek….

Often I want to say the cure to our problems is just to put more women in charge. And then I read something from Marsha Blackburn….

Lou Holtz, 83, received the Presidential Medal of Honor today, saying he was proud “to receive it from President Donald Trump & adding Trump was the “greatest president in my lifetime.” Sad, didn’t realize Holtz was suffering from dementia.

Media having fun justifiably calling out Democratic politicians who call for COVID-19 restrictions & then break their own rules as hypocrites. But how about doing same for Republicans who act like COVID-19 is no big deal, then when sick all get expensive experimental treatment?

So when Joe Biden said he will call for the nation to wear masks for 100 days were David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler upset they didn’t get advance notice to buy stock in mask companies?

Imagine if USA had a leader “New Zealand has lifted all social & economic restrictions except border controls after declaring this week it was free of COVID-19. “While the job is not done, there is no denying this is a milestone…Thank you, New Zealand,” PM Jacinda Ardern

Remember when a really bad day for USA was 1,000 COVID deaths in 24 hours. Like, last month?

How long until we look back at “only 2,000” dead as “the good old days?” I still think Scott Atlas resigned so Donald can preemptively pardon him of manslaughter charges?

NY Times reports Georgia Senator David Perdue has made *2,596 stock trades* in his one term as Senator, which “brings about serious ethics questions.”

2,596 stock trades in ONE term. How many Americans have made 2,596 stock trades in their lives????

GOP AZ Gov. Doug Ducey confirmed that he heard the “Hail to the Chief” ringtone & knew it was White House calling, but ignored phone call during a press conference to certify state’s vote for Joe Biden. Face it Donny, he’s just not that into you.

Early leads.

So Donald’s case for election fraud basically comes down to “I was ahead and I ended up losing.”In related news, the Atlanta Falcons are claiming they won the Super Bowl since they did have a 28-3 lead over the New England Patriots!

The Ravens-Steelers game on Wednesday afternoon was seriously listed at Sunday Night Football on TV listings… because 2020?

Meanwhile, the NFL always lists the names of players fined or suspended for serious infractions like wearing their socks too low, but is much quieter about those who break rules about mask wearing and other COVID-19 regulation. (You had to search hard to find the name Steve Saunders, the strength and conditioning coach who may have infected a large percentage of the Ravens team.) #Priorities

Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said of his team’s narrow win over Baltimore today “It was really junior varsity, to be quite honest with you.”Well, lucky for the Steelers they were playing the JV version of the COVID-19 decimated Ravens.

Meanwhile, if you’ve been wondering how the Canadian Football League was doing, since their Championship Grey Cup is usually in late November… they took the year off. All of it.

Pathetic, sad and above all, small, whining speech posted to Facebook from Donald Trump today.Can we title the 46 minute video “Honey, I shrunk the Presidency?”

Now Velveeta Voldemort is about defending legal votes.

Because he claims his all his 74,000,000 votes were legal.

But 81,000,000 votes for Joe Biden were illegal?

Do he and his cult ever listen to themselves?

Barack Obama said candidates lose support using “snappy” slogans like “defund the police.” “You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely you’re actually going to get changes you want done,”

Well what does Obama know about winning elections?

Lots of tributes to retiring Senators today on the Senate Floor. Now, I know most of the Senate hates Ted Cruz – but guessing they could suck it up and tell some nice lies if he would retire too.

Used to tell people I preferred British History to American History because monarchs were so fascinating, ranging from good to downright awful, compared to more boring but usually competent elected leaders.

USA is kind of killing that premise right now.

You cannot make this “stuff” up. In July, GOP runs ad “Tinseltown: home of ultra-liberals & everything fake so it’s not surprising Hollywood’s bankrolling Jon Ossoff’s campaigns.” Same WEEK. Kelly Loeffer buys $5.3 million home in Studio City/Hollywood.

So some in the GOP feel so strongly about having the freedom not to wear a mask they are supporting “limited martial law” in order to hold a new election. Got it.

Social media is so educational Today in a discussion of social media I learned there are actually people who haven’t seen “Love, Actually.”

Yet.

Suggest you see it if you haven’t.
