Senator Tommy Tuberville: “If we don’t straighten out this country’s voting and immigration system, we’re not gonna make it. It’s gonna be over. I’m gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state.”

30 foot wall? Really Coach Tubby, the Berlin Wall was only about 12 feet tall. But I can understand why you might want to keep Alabama residents from escaping.

FIFA Statement after Infantinos’s planned selloff to a group of investors including Jared Kushner fell apart. “There are always lessons to be learned, and FIFA will continue to improve its processes in light of this experience.”
But also
“FIFA will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process and will take all necessary measures to protect and safeguard its name and reputation.”

What “name and reputation?”

The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost six games in a row. No punchline, i just like writing it.

Wow:

NYTimes: “One person w/ knowledge of the discussions said Mr. Trump had been considering decommissioning 1 of 2 older Air Force One jets to display at his Presidential library, but that he also planned to take the Qatari jet as well.”

And the grift just keeps on coming.

JD Vance: “We don’t want the next administration, whoever — god forbid you’re gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ..

Uh, JD, most Americans would be thrilled to have a third term from Barack Hussein Obama… PS Your white hood is showing….even if you tried to hide it under your couch.

Had Donald’s “tax cut” speech on as background noise while working.today.

On top of everything else he’s getting less coherent and more boring.

Worse than Biden on his worst day

Why doesn’t media comment on that?

Anyone else think that the domestic abuse allegations against Max Miller make Trump like him BETTER?

On Friday night Sept 12, the SF Giants beat the LA Dodges with a walkoff grand slam by Patrick Bailey.

They haven’t won since.

Meanwhile, in the NFL, there is controversy over Fox News broadcaster and Oakland Raiders part owner Tom Brady sitting in the coaching booth for games, and getting potential inside information before pre-games that could benefit his team..

The man who got the benefit of most NFL calls on the field might now be getting preferential treatment and inside information as an owner? I am shocked, shocked…

As we remember Robert Redford in “All the President’s Men,” remember that Richard Nixon was openly hostile to the Washington Post, but publisher Katharine Graham refused to bow to him. Jeff Bezos, you’re no Katharine Graham.

As Trump visits Great Britain… A YouGov poll in July found 16% of Britons surveyed say they have a positive view of him…. That high?

RIP Robert Redford. This exchange from “The Way We Were” always stuck with me. Hubbell, “I don’t see how you can do it.” Katie “And I don’t see how you can’t” Worth watching if you haven’t seen it, or if you have forgotten. Set partly during the McCarthy era…

NY Times, once again with a headline that is, to say the least, understated. “In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission President Trump does not subscribe to the traditional notion of being president for all Americans.”

MSNBC reporting that ICE came into Hyundai plant with warrants for four Hispanic men. And left with almost 500 handcuffed & shackled South Korean men. Men now complaining about really bad treatment… Why would ANY foreign government consider building a plant now in USA?

So are any of the big law firms who genuflected before Velveeta Voldemort now being asked to donate legal services to his efforts to sue the NY Times? Asking for a country who would really like to see the release of the Epstein files.

Molly Ivins was one of my heroes. While liberal she believed in free speech. Left half her estate to the ACLU.

Can still remember meeting her in 1993 at Printer’s Ink in Palo Alto and hearing her say “Ya’ll think free speech is easy. It’s not. If you believe in it you have to believe in free speech for Skokie neoNazis.”

Trump fundraising email today:

“The Radical Left wants one thing & one thing only: TO IMPEACH ME AND REMOVE ME FROM OFFICE LIKE A DOG!”

1. Liberals want many things, healthcare, education, vaccines, food security, clean air/water etc…

2. But on a simpler note, he uses “dog” like it’s a slur.

Meanwhile, over in England, Queen Camilla just said she is sick and is avoiding meeting Donald, leaving the duty to her husband.

We are all Camilla.
