Can’t understand why people call him an alien

Look, trans athletes competing at a high level is a tough issue. Though such a small number of actual athletes.

But have to love Charlotte Clymer’s tweet today “Wemby is destroying male sports with his unfair biological advantage.

–

Meanwhile, a Canadian team actually still has a chance to win the Stanley Cup. Somehow.

–

Minnesota US Attorney Daniel Rosen said Aimee Bock, convicted last year, should be sentenced to 50 years in prison for “masterminding the biggest pandemic era fraud in the US.

Aimee Bock is a blonde white woman.

But GOP will probably be furious somehow because Aimee Bock isn’t an Somalian immigrant.

(And as a friend said, will Trump pardon her if she blames someone Somali?)

=

How long until GOP claims dead people are eating the dogs and cats?

–

Again, if you want to know how state TV operates.

Wonder how Fox News is reporting the $1.7 billion trust fund that Trump demanded his DOJ set up for his supporters who were “wronged” by Democrats?

On their website, crickets. Not mentioned.

They don’t spin, they just hide.

–

NY Times “Trump had been asked about extent to which economy factored into his plans to end the war and responded that disarmament was his sole concern.”

Have they been listening to Donald?

His ballroom is his sole concern. (that and the Epstein files)

=

For those who don’t follow politics closely Thomas Massie is about as conservative as they come. MAGA all the way.

But he wants the Epstein files released.

And THAT is why Trump wants him out.

A five year old could connect these dots.

–

–

GOP Representative Thomas Massie wants the Epstein files released.

All of them

If the files exonerated Trump and implicated Democrats Donald would give Massie the Presidential medal of honor.

–

Democrats probably have no chance in state wide race in Louisiana

But for all headlines about Trump having GOP control.

There are 2,964,882 registered voters in the state.

401,000 of them voted in GOP primary, 344,000 in Dem primary. 25% turnout

Primaries skew hardcore.

–

Can some election denier conspiracy theorist explain to us how Trump won when Obama and Biden were Presidents, and yet Democrats managed to rig an election when Trump was in charge?

–

Speaker Mike Johnson, explaining why members of Congress need to be able to trade stocks (Yes this is real)

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”=

This should be a Democratic ad shown nonstop in October.

Maybe $174,000 per year (plus a large expense account) isn’t enough to take care of a family in New York City or Los Angeles, but in most of the country….

Well, the High Point Panthers made it a good first day of March Madness for those with cat brackets.

–

Meanwhile the San Antonio Spurs officially clinched their first playoff spot in years. After being down 10 with a few minutes to play. Some fans might have figured it was an off-night (including me)

Fun game, fun read.

–

Now back to not fun stuff

2,403 Americans were killed on December 7, 1941.

And Velveeta Voldemort is joking about it?

He dishonors all their memories.

–

GOP claiming now that the SAVE Act won’t disenfranchise voters, especially women, with often draconian rules to prove citizenship,

This is the same GOP that claimed Trump had no plan to implement Project 2025.

–

Criticized last month on DOJ handling of Epstein files, Pam Bondi: “The Dow is over 50,000 right now…That’s what we should be talking about.”

Dow is now just over 46,000.

Does she want to talk about 10% drop in 6 weeks?

Or can she finally talk about the Epstein files?

–

Trump claims on the war in Iran: “We’re substantially ahead of schedule.”

Wait, last week he said the war was “over in an hour”

This is so confusing.

–

Many who looked up to Cesar Chavez as a hero were shocked, saddened and angered by the sexual abuse allegations now against him, including crimes against girls.

Yet no one questions taking his name off schools, streets, etc.

Because his admirers aren’t a cult.

–

Not a regular Bachelorette watcher and the allegations that apparently got ABC to shelve this season are ugly.

But I miss the days when the worst ‘reality TV” scandals
were from shows produced for entertainment and not from actual news from the White House.

–

Fox News is not reporting Donald Trump’s “joke” about Pearl Harbor.

“We wanted surprise. Who ​knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t ⁠you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”

They don’t even try to spin. They just don’t report the worst things he says.

–

Whatever Donald says about the war ending, look what businesses are doing..

United Airlines just extended waivers to the mid-East (Dubai and Tel Aviv.) until June 15!

MLB Opening day in 27 days.

Midterms in 249 days.

Neither can come soon enough.

–

PERFECT 11-0 February for the San Antonio Spurs. As much as I can appreciate bipartisan joy this team is bringing fans, must confess really miss Gregg Popovich giving his pre-post game opinions on the State of the Union. And oh would he have options. Thinking of you Pop #Porvida

–

To all the MAGA folks who claimed they voted for Donald Trump because he would “protect women’s sports,” I’ve missed your outrage about his comments and lack of appreciate for the USA women’s hockey team.
Or his not even acknowledging Gold Medalist Alysa Liu.

–

While many Americans can’t afford an emergency of a few hundred dollars, Dr. Oz’s new proposal for Trumpcare would allow one kind of health plan to raise the annual deductible to more than $15,000 for an individual and $31,000 for a family; Not just that those are much higher than current Obamacare plans,

But $31,000 won’t even cover the cost of a broken arm, or delivering a baby. these days.

Again, Hillary Clinton is right.

“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.”

–

This isn’t complicated: If GOP really believed Bill Clinton was guilty, they’d depose him in public.

–

And if If Trump were innocent he’d demand to be deposed on live television about Jeffrey Epstein in prime time.

–

Senator Jim Banks of Indiana “That was the best State of the Union” speech I have ever heard.”

If anyone wondered how Jim Jones got hundreds of people voluntarily to drink poisoned Kool-Aid… they’re watching the political equivalent now.

It’s. A. Cult.

–

Trump administration today made emergency appeal Supreme Court to allow it to end legal protections for migrants from Syria. Steve Jobs’ biological father was a Syrian immigrant.

·-

Minnesota has four Democratic members of the House of Representatives & four Republican members.
The GOP members are in traditionally “safe” red districts.
But how much more does Trump have to punish the state to change that?

·

Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy remembering again he WAS editor of Law Review at U of Virginia “This isn’t going away until there’s full disclosure & Americans want & are entitled to know, who did Epstein traffic these women to.. and why they weren’t prosecuted?”

We are less than half way through the NBA season

We are less than a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting.

And there are WAY too many damn channels to try to watch the NFL playoffs.

(If the NFL could they’d split the Super Bowl into one quarter on broadcast, one on cable, and two quarters streaming.)

–

As James Comer threatens to hold Bill Clinton in contempt for not being willing to testify PRIVATELY on Epstein, (Bill says he is willing to testify publicy) perhaps Clinton should say he’ll come in on the same day as Trump.

TJ Sabula was the UAW worker who called Donald Trump a “predator protector.” (Prompting the President to flip him off. Sabula has been suspended.

–

Hey Marco Rubio. This you last week? “Well, I mean, broadly, we’re concerned about any place first and foremost where American free speech could be implicated.”

–

And think I’m ready to make a donation to any politician willing to bring TJ Sabula as their guest at the State of the Union.

–

Amy Klobuchar pointing out, there are more than twice as many ICE agents in Minneapolis than there are police, who are overextended and spending a lot of time trying to protect residents from ICE.

When the POLICE are publicly on the side of the liberals in town….

–

Meanwhile in Minneapolis, Nazis with a dose of McCarthyism “Sigüenza, a U.S. citizen, detained temporarily by ICE, said an immigration officer who questioned him Sunday even offered him money or legal protection if he gave up the names of organizers or neighbors who are in the country illegally.”

–

SIX DOJ Prosecutors have apparently resigned in Minnesota over Trump administration’s push after Renee Good’s shooting, to probe her widow… Yes, the woman who saw her wife shot before her eyes. There is no bottom.

–

Would James Comer like to explain publicly why he HAS to have Bill Clinton come to testify on the Epstein files but hasn’t subpoenaed ANY prominent Republican? Asking for a country. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

–

Trump calls his invasion of Venezuela, “The most brilliant attack we’ve had in 100 years.” Leaving aside Obama’s successfully taking out Osama Bin Laden…thinking Eisenhower with D-Day would like a word.

–

So Donald posting on Truth Social to Iranian protestors “Take over your institutions.” While in the USA he thinks people should be killed for being ‘”disrepectful…” Meanwhile, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The Las Vegas Aces just activated Cheyenne Parker-Tyus. She is eligible for the last two games of the season and the postseason. Cheyenne missed the 1st 42 games of WNBA season because she gave birth to a son on July 1 . Weaker sex my ass.

In a divided country sometimes doesn’t seem like there’s anything Democrat and Republicans agree on. Except that the San Francisco 49ers made the right move by waiving Jake Moody.

–

Not sure what the MLB record is for stumbling into the playoffs.

But seeming like the New York Mets are looking to break it…

—

JD Vance “Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump”?

Mr. “grab them by the p**sy?” Mr. “I moved on her like a b*tch?” Mr. “If she wasn’t my daughter maybe I’d be dating her?” Since you asked, yes, it sounds EXACTLY like him.

–

This actually did age well.

Whatever you think of Rupert Murdoch he is no fool.

Pretty darn sure he has a lot more receipts.

The birthday book certainly puts a new possible spin on Putin’s reputed Trump “pee tapes.”

–

SCOTUS at least temporarily is allowing ICE to question & detain people based on factors like a person’s ethnicity or them speaking Spanish. FIFA, if you’re listening, not too late to move the World Cup and avoid a disaster.

Hey Fox New viewers, especially women They won’t show you this, but this is how your leader Trump feels about women.

·”Things that take place in the home they call crime….If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime.”

As Trump got a West Point group to cancel an award for Tom Hanks, who has done serious work on behalf of veterans, think it’s time for the Oscars to give Tom a lifetime achievement award. Not only would it be the right thing but #RATINGS

–

Donald pretended to be “brave” to meet his cabinet at a DC restaurant Trump doesn’t have the cojones to meet with Epstein victims.

–

The past, present & future of MAGA.

1. There’s no Epstein birthday card

2. Trump didn’t sign the birthday card.

3. The signature is a forgery

4. So what if he signed the card.

5. The girls were asking for it.

6. The girls should be punished for lying about Dear Leader. #Cult

–

So if he lied about signing a birthday card what else has he lied about?

–

Watching Trump use government to attack all his perceived enemies, increasingly wondering, are GOP members of Congress just political cowards

Or have Donald’s minions dug up dirt on most of them?

–

So some GOP politicians are claiming that a fraudster knew in 2003 – back when Trump was a Democrat- that Jeffrey Epstein would be convicted of horrific sex crimes & Donald would become a Republican President. And so they faked Trump’s signature? Two words Yeah. Right.

–

If he’s innocent, why didn’t Trump just say the Epstein birthday card was “locker room banter?”

–

John Thune and John Cornyn are wringing his hands over some of Trump’s nominees “having had to put their lives on hold” because of what he calls a Democratic blockade.

Funny, I missed GOP outrage when Tuberville blocked over 450 (!) military appointments.

–

ICYMI.

GOP/MAGA is fine with Russia bombing Ukraine into rubble; killing civillian women and children on a daily basis.

They are good with deporting Ukrainian refugees who may be killed when they return.

But when a Ukranian woman is murdered here, they profess outrage.

In non-political news, a miracle has occurred.

Justin Verlander has won a game in an SF Giants uniform.

–

Oddly enough, in May 2023 Verlander became the 21st pitcher in MLB history to win games against EVERY major league baseball team. Wonder what the odds were you could get that it would take 16 starts to get his first win for the SF Giants.

–

Probably about the same odds you could get that on July 24 the best records in MLB would belong to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Milwaukee Brewers.

–

Whatever Ghislaine Maxwell is bribed or threatened into saying now, remember, one of many reasons she is in prison is a conviction for perjury.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson on Ghislaine Maxwell. She’s “person who’s been sentenced to many years in prison for terrible, unspeakable, conspiratorial acts against innocent young people. She can’t be trusted to provide accurate testimony.”

Like when she says Trump is innocent to get pardon?

Cory Booker on Senate Floor yesterday reporting WSJ reported Donald Trump was told in May his name is in Epstein files. And that Emil Bove may have been involved in covering it up.

Some of these GOP Senators have daughters & granddaughters.. How do they sleep?

–

Seriously many MAGA were happy to demonize all trans kids to follow Dear Leader in his outrage over a small numberof trans athletes competing in sporting events – because “we have to protect girls.”

But when it comes to young girls being raped and Donald possibly being involved. Move along nothing to see here… not even “thoughts and prayers” for the victims

–

As Russia gains ground on Ukraine, Senate planned July vote on sanctions, w/ 83 Senators on board on a bipartisan basis.

But now GOP stepping back because Velveeta Voldemort says he will impose tariffs if Putin doesn’t agree to a cease fire…in 50 days!

Fools or complicit?

–

Latest Trump fundraising lie to deflect from Epstein files.

That Obama committed “the crime of the century” – Wait, I thought Biden’s autopen was the “crime of the century?” This is so confusing

–

-NY Times headline

“F.C.C. Approves Skydance’s $8 Billion Merger With Paramount

The agency said the deal was approved after assurances that the new company would commit to unbiased journalism.”

Fixed it for them.

“And would fire Stephen Colbert.”

–

So today’s question:

All these Republican Senators voting for things and nominees they KNOW are wrong.

Are they truly believers in a cult, or are they just too scared/craven to do the right thing? Asking for a country?

–

No wonder MAGA politicians are rushing to post tributes to Hulk Hogan. They don’t have many real celebrities on their side and they just lost one

–

Dana Carvey regularly spoofed George H.W. Bush on SNL.

And Bush actually invited him to the White House.

Wasn’t a fan of George H.W’s policies. But..

I miss having a President with a sense of humor.

I miss having a President:
