Can we have a bipartisan moment of glee – for Spurs fans and for those who believe in joy in sports

The San Antonio Spurts just signed Wemby to a five year, less than the maximum, multi-year contract extension

As Trump continues with his efforts to destroy the White House.

Who expected that Congress would act like they have less power than a random small town HOA.

-JD Vance actually said this out loud on a podcast:

“My life is– dude, totally transformed. People go to the grocery store for me. I don’t have to cook anymore because I have an army of people willing to cook my food. No more TSA lines for me.”

If you’re struggling to put food on the table, just think, you could maybe now get a side hustle shopping or cooking for JD Vance..

The reflecting pool..

His Qatar plane..

Americans should all shudder to think if the columns at the White House will hold up.

–

Meanwhile, while almost NO one has shown up at the Great American State Fair

If you were thinking of going to Chicago and the Obama Presidential Center

“Museum tickets are currently sold out.

Demand for Museum tickets is high. We update availability on the second Wednesday of every month at 10 a.m. CT.”

–

Number one Fox News website headline:

“Trump warns ‘they want to take out the US leader’ as assassination plot surfaces.

Because when things are going so badly nothing else will do, an “assassination attempt” is Donald’s perceived gold card of distraction.

–

So was Rep. Tom Kean’s 117 day unexplained absence a dress rehearsal for hiding Mitch McConnell’s status?

And maybe someday for doing the same with POTUS?

–

JD Vance continues to brag gleefully about vacations, and not having to shop or cook for himself, etc,

Every time JD says this sort of thing… it should come with the reminder to him and to all of us in the USA

That it’s at taxpayer expense. Our expense.

–

–

So where’s the new bumpersticker?

“Honk if you haven’t talked to Mitch McConnell”

=

Another reason to vote blue and work for US Democratic Senate campaigns this fall.

Seems pretty likely that Fetterman will switch parties. IF GOP keeps a majority or his vote would give them the majority.

Need to flip enough seats that this snake doesn’t matter.

–

And just to follow up.

Trump left Turkey on OLDER Air Force One Jet, but then switched to new Qatar plane in Britain for flight to DC.

Assassination fears?
Trying to pretend there was credible threat?
Stunt?

He couldn’t have stayed with ONE plane?

And how much did this cost taxpayers?

MLB on July 16

“There are no games scheduled today”

Montreal Expos twitter account “How you feel today is how we’ve felt for the last 7,591 days”

From a social media friend from London today:

It’s less what he said, it’s more that Donald cared enough about ANYONE to send a 50th birthday card.

Remember, he said he didn’t even have time to do anything for Melania other than dinner on Air Force One.

Wall Street Journal I owe you an apology, I was not familiar with your game….

(Seriously, might be a good time to support a newspaper with actual cojones by subscribing..)

–

Inflation rate jumped in June.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is pretending it’s good news and that prices are falling. Who you gonna believe, me or your lying bank account?

–

Random question. Donald he drinks Diet Coke, how would he know that Mexican Coca-Cola (which uses real sugar) is better?

–

Something else about the Rescissions act. If this is now precedent, means that if Democrats take the House and Senate next year, they can take back any money Trump makes GOP authorize spending for this year!

–

The Rescissions Act takes back money that Democrats and Republicans agreed to on a bipartisan basis. Republicans need 60 votes to pass their next budget. So why should GOP expect ANY cooperation in 2025 from Dems now that they are destroying the deal they agreed to last year?

–

One of the saddest things about 2025. We knew how evil Donald Trump was. We didn’t know how gutless Congressional Republicans are.

–

JD Vance badmouthed Disney as “woke” and “declaring war on America’s children.” But he took his kids to Disneyland. As JD cast the deciding vote to allow Trump’s efforts to defund PBS to proceed, will Vance now get his kids bootleg feeds of Sesame Street?

–

In 1543, Henry VIII made it a crime for most English people to read the Bible in English. The point was to avoid questioning of the King’s interpretation of Scripture, or indeed questioning of him period. Sound familiar with Donald cutting education & public broadcasting?

–

Asked a wise reporter decades ago why a politician – would be engaged in a coverup that no one believed and that was hurting him politically: He said, simple, if the truth is actually worse than he thinks people imagine it is.

If Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a “terrible Fed chair” can we fire the idiot who appointed him?”

This isn’t hard: Donald NEVER releases anything negative about his own health. He won’t even release the truth about his height and weight. Admitting an illness to distract from Epstein files must mean the files are very bad indeed.
