Bring her back?

February 24, 2025

San Antonio Spurs blew 17 pt lead & lost to lowly New Orleans Pelicans by 18.

Gregg Popovich’s health comes first & it makes no sense for him to return in 2025.

But if Pop can’t come back next season, maybe time to see how much $$ to hire Becky Hammon back from WNBA to coach.

–

Two amusing sidelights of this week.

1. Some of the MAGA cult on social media views cheering for team Canada in a tournament hockey game as being an actual traitor to the US.

2. A whole lot of men think a woman cannot possibly know anything about sports. Wrong on both counts.

Carry on.

–

Pope Francis is now in critical condition. If he passes away will Trump demand he be named Pope next?

–

Love this line from Senator Chris Murphy “My 16-yr-old son for the 1st time, he said to me, ‘What’s going on? My friends are seeing your stuff. I’m showing up on a 16-yr-old’s TikTok feed.”

(had a nice reminder of when John McCain went on SNL, because he said it impressed his teenage daughter)

–

As crazy FBI director Kash Patel looks to be joined by crazier deputy Dan Bongino, the GOP Senators own this. MANY of them knew better.

And if cowardice made them vote yes on Patel and Bondi, what makes them think eventually they won’t end up under the bus like Bolton, Pence, Sessions etc.

–

Fox News headline: “Former world leader explains why ‘people are envious of what’s happening in the US.”

The former world leader is former British PM Liz Truss, who lasted in the job 45 days.

I’d rather hear what the head of lettuce thinks.

–

Leaving everything else aside, I can’t be the only person who looks at Donald Trump orange circles ending around the eyes and ears, and thinks “his makeup person really hates him.”

The USA used to be a shining example Now we’re an object lesson.

–

It all makes sense if you consider maybe the main purpose of some of Musk and Trump’s outrageous actions is two jealous insecure men trying to steal headlines from each other.

–

Per NBC News, terminated FAA employees were not controllers, but support staff- “maintenance mechanics, aeronautical information specialists, plus, aviation safety, management & program assistants.” What could go wrong? Well, Musk with SpaceEx brags about learning from crashes.

–

DonOld Trump email to President Musk

Subject: What I did last week 5 bullet points 1. I golfed

2.I golfed

3.I golfed

4. I rode around the track at Daytona

5. I followed Putin’s orders.

Do I get a diet coke and a Big Mac?

Love, Donny

Ps. Can I still be King?

Team USA could still win if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing…

–

KC Chiefs

Team USA

As an SF Giants fan can we next ask Donald Trump to declare himself an LA Dodgers fan?

-Though does anyone think Donald really watches hockey? Somebody please ask him about icing. Thinking his response is likely to include “chocolate..

–

Millions of Americans were on team Canada tonight. Wonder how Premier Trump is feeling.

(for the uninitiated, Premier is the Canadian equivalent of Governor.)

–

Why did I feel watching tonight’s 4 Nations hockey game like I’m a kid back in Toronto watching Team Canada vs Russia in 1972?

Except now Team USA has become Russia.

–

If GOP really cared about the border they’d have passed Senator Lankford’s bipartisan bill in 2024

–

Congressman Robert Garcia has now been threatened with potential prosecution by the U.S. Attorney from Washington, D.C., for because he criticized. He called Musk a dick.

Having flashbacks to Miracle on 34th Street….. where Fred proved Kris Kringle was Santa Claus. Not a crime to call a dick a dick. (And thinking Garcia could get many millions of corroborating witnesses.

–

Oh, this is a smart idea. Seriously. Amy Klobuchar introduced a budget amendment to keep Trump & GOP from cutting taxes for billionaires if prices keep going up. Since Donold said he would solve inflation on day one this should be easy for him, right?

–

In her confirmation hearing, Tulsi Gabbard was asked who she blamed for the war between Russia and Ukraine. She responded “Putin started the invasion of Ukraine.” Where’s the pool as to the day Tulsi denies that statement?

–


In 2017, John McCain along with Lindsey Graham and Amy Klobuchar visited Ukraine to show support against Russia and Vladimir Putin. I hope McCain haunts Lindsey Graham’s dreams.

–

With Kash Patel confirmed who should be first in the pool as to which Republican Senator who voted for him will be the first to be thrown under the Trump bus?

–

An important truth about firing probationary employees. Any federal employee PROMOTED is on probation in new role for year. Know 2 people who were offered merit promotions last fall & turned them down because they didn’t want to be “on probation” if Trump won.

–

The two Former FBI directors,both Republicans, are on Kash Patel’s printed enemies list.

No doubt some of the GOP Senate cowards who voted for him will end up on that list soon.

–


Many scientists and researchers were just fired at NIH’s center for treating Alzheimer’s, which could set research back years. The center is named for recently retired GOP Senator Roy Blunt, a good and decent man. He wouldn’t recognize his colleagues today. Not because of memory loss. But because they are now a cult.

–


Media should start covering what Air Force One, besides the costs, does to travel for average Americans.

Yesterday at Miami International AIrport, after Donald decided to FLY from Palm Beach (about 60 miles away_, all flights stopped for arrival & departure. Many travelers missed flights and flight attendants couldn’t get to airport. One crew member told me it took them three HOURS to go 2 miles.

DOGE just fired Yosemite’s only locksmith.

Would it be wrong to hope the first visitor who locks their keys in their car, or who locks themselve in a bathroom, is a Trump supporter?

–

J.D. Vance today warned Ukrainian president against attacking Donald Trump. Have we forgotten that Trump’s first impeachment was over threatening Zelenskyy to go after Biden in the first place? #QuidProQuo

What are the odds?

February 13, 2025

Apparently you can place various bets on the NBA All-Star game this weekend.

And if you are seriously thinking about those bets… you might have a gambling problem.

–

Meanwhile, for a break from political insanity whoever thought they’d see THIS headline?

“Draymond Green Had to Hold Steve Kerr Back As He Flipped Out at Referee.”

(Apparently Kerr didn’t like some calls, and the Warriors did lose to the Mavs.)

–

Rachel Maddow today telling us how at the same time Musk is trying to kill the CFPB bureau, he is trying to turn X/Twitter into a financial services bureau.

Which would be regulated… by the CFPB. You can’t make this stuff up.

–


Have seen many liberals demanding Senators speak out.

Dems held another late night session tonight against RFK Jr.

Media wasn’t covering it. Even MSNBC has “Susan Collins just broke the promise she made to the American people” (as if that is news)

It’s on us, folks.

–

Senator Raphael Warnock took the 10p shift on the Senate floor talking against RFK Jr. If you haven’t heard the Georgia Senator (and Preacher) speak before and you ever get a chance to listen, or see a clip, take it. (C-Span 2 covered it tonight)

–

As part of Senate late-night effort against RFK Jr, Amy Klobuchar quotes Eisenhower, who established HHS. “Department symbolizes the government’s permanent concern with the human problems of our citizens.”

Today’s GOP would call Eisenhower a RINO. Heck they’d call Reagan a RINO.

Adam Schiff tonight asked why RFK Jr for HHS?

Why THIS job? Yes, he endorsed Trump but why HHS?

“Nothing was more corrosive to our democracy than Trump’s assault on truth. Nothing more useful to demagogue than destroying idea of truth. He must convince public not to believe their lying eyes. Out with the Faucis. in with the charlatans.”

Nailed it.

–

Consumers Research, a dark money group that now exists to attack perceived liberal causes, is running ads attacking the Cleveland Clinic, which Musk/Trump is trying to strip funding from.

The Cleveland Clinic is the single largest employer in Ohio. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

–

As inflation is skyrocketing, led by the price of eggs, can we start calling him Trumpty Dumpty???

–

Now that Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed today how many of our allies will just stop sharing intelligence with us..

Billionaire boys club

February 12, 2025

Dodgers ‘hungrier than ever,’ view 2025 as ‘unique challenge’

What challenge? If they can cross the half billion payroll by the trade deadline?

–

QB Dak Prescott says Dallas Cowboys ‘very close’ to winning Super Bowl.

Has anyone recently checked Dak for concussions?

–

Do Google and AP etc think it will really stop with demands to accept Trump’s illegal renaming of the Gulf of Mexico? If they acquiesce now, soon it will be “you are not allowed to criticize dear leader.” (This has apparently already happened to GOP House and Senate.)

–


So can Mexico change their maps to return to referring to the USA as “the United Colonies of North America?”

–

Lindsey Graham, talking about spending more money for ICE and Homeland Security: “We’ll go into mandatory spending accounts and find offsets to pay for this.” “mandatory spending accounts?” Translation, we’re going to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. For starters.

–

As Republicans in the Senate continually debase themselves into spineless clones can we start calling them Stepford Senators?

–

Do Google and AP etc think it will really stop with demands to accept Trump’s illegal renaming of the Gulf of Mexico? If they acquiesce now, soon it will be “you are not allowed to criticize dear leader.” (This has apparently already happened to GOP House and Senate.)

–

So why are President Musk and VP Trump trying to shut down CFPB?

Because Elon doesn’t want oversight as he tries to turn Twitter into a financial app?

Or because Donald hates Elizabeth Warren?

—

Something important I heard Amy Klobuchar say “Email your members of Congress.” (Not that calls don’t matter, but emails go into the record.) And yes, it’s worth emailing GOP members of Congress. they are afraid of Trump but they are really afraid of losing re-election.

–

Asked whether U.S. had given up anything in return for former hostage Marc Fogel, Trump replied “not much” without offering additional details. Translation, “not much after I handed Putin the gift of our democracy.”

–

NY Times headline “Enjoying Pinnacle of Power, Musk Holds Court on Trump’s Stage. President let spotlight in Oval Office go to his billionaire friend.” Fixed it. “President Musk held court in Oval Office & let Donald sit at big boy desk before Elon sent him home to play golf.

Free kick…

February 6, 2025

If you don’t already know about former NFL punter Chris Kluwe. He posted this above where the skies are bluer in response to a Newsmax query!

–

As Republicans make a big deal out of the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” is it too soon to start the pool on when GOP moves to eliminate Title IX money for women and girls’ sports period?

–

Meanwhile as Americans begin to protest against authoritarian & draconian Musk/Trump cuts, Fox News headline. “Trump vows DHS will prevent trans athletes from entering US for 2028 LA Olympics.” Uh, we haven’t had trans athletes try to compete in Olympics. And none expected.

–

If you’re a Warriors fan & want something non political to be outraged about- Miami Heat trading Jimmy Butler to Golden State. Just what team needs, spoiled man-baby who literally quits on his team when he is unhappy.

Meanwhile, the Wemby Spurs bandwagon is taking new riders.

#GoSpursGo

–

Trump actually said this “Tommy Tuberville, a great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes, he was a great college coach. And I said, how good was he? He said, you don’t want to know how good.”

–

Uh,1. Tubby did not coach Mahomes.

2. Auburn paid Tubby $5 MILLION to go away and not coach anymore.

3 University of Cincinnati, with a much smaller budget, paid him $1 million to go away and not coach anymore.

Tuberville turned out to be a loser coach. Facts matter.

–

Elon Musk’s title now is “Special Government Employee.” And we thought Herschel Walker was a bad joke for bragging about his “Honorary Police Badge.”

–

Just a question as Trump talks about taking over Gaza and turning it into the “Riviera of the Mideast?! What WOULD he have to say for his cult members to realize the man is insane?

–

Senator Reverend Warnock, one of best speakers in DC, speaking truth to Trump/Musk cockroaches scurrying around in darkness. “This is radical, this is extreme, this is undemocratic. The people of Georgia who voted for me AND who voted for Trump did not vote for this.”

–

Elizabeth Warren points out again: GOP controls House & Senate. They could change laws to take $$$ from things they don’t like. But cowards know it’s unpopular to destroy programs enjoying bipartisan support. So they’re trying to do it illegally in the middle of the night

–

This should be a bigger story. Outrage can stop outrage.

Lisa Murkowski posted.

“I want to thank Alaskans who have been reaching out to my offices in D.C. and across Alaska. The U.S. Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute we usually receive, which has disrupted our call systems. “

–

“Tulsi Gabbard Gets Closer to Confirmation as Senior Republican Caves.” The Republican in question was Susan Collins. But really, isnt “Susan Collins Caves” redundant?

–

Faced with rapidly rising prices, Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg dish they sell. Can we call it the “Trumpty-Dumpty” surcharge?

–

So did Trump decide to take over the Gaza Strip because he figured out he couldn’t take over Greenland, the Panama Canal or Canada?

–

Despite its questionable legality & no money authorized for Trump/Musk buyout offer to federal employees, a Trump spokeswoman claimed “This is a rare, generous opportunity – one that was thoroughly vetted.”‘ Is there a bigger oxymoron than -“Trump proposal thoroughly vetted?

–

Trump has given the FBI a deadline to turn over all names of agents involved in January 6 cases. How can ANYONE believe Kash Patel’s number one focus will not be revenge for Dear Leader?

–

Very few silver linings about both Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr’s nominations being voted out of committee: But at least every GOP Senator will have to go on record with their votes. Meaning they will own the probable disasters that are coming.

Treading water

February 4, 2025

Commissioner Roger Goodell says NFL is ‘better’ because of diversity efforts. DonOld won’t like that statement

So did Goodell figure this is his guaranteed way of getting Trump to stay in Florida for the weekend and avoid wanting to come to the Super Bowl?

–

And yes, for all the damage he has done, or more to the point, let President Non-Elect Musk do, Trump spends his weekends in Florida. At a cost of millions per weekend to taxpayers.

While GOP complained that Biden went to his Delaware beach house…

–

Senator Bill Cassidy says he’s “struggling” with RFK Jr.s nomination. Cassidy is a doctor. He is a Christian. . He knows the right thing to do. And yes he is up for re-election. But “What good does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”

–

Tump could have negotiated quietly with Canada and Mexico and avoided panic and rage over his proposed tariffs. But he didn’t. And for now all he got was stuff Canada and Mexico were already doing.

Is DonOld upset that President Non-Elect Musk was getting all the attention.

–

Jamie Raskin sums it up: “We don’t have a fourth branch of Government called Elon Musk.

–

Brian Schatz gave very long & impassionated speech on Senate Floor about Trump & Musk trying to be un-elected Kings, he spoke for over an hour..

After losing election “expecting policies, I was absolutely going to hate…that’s way the ball bounces.” But “This is not the ball bouncing a certain way. This is someone deciding they’re in charge of US govt & don’t care what the law is.”

“We are no longer arguing if they are doing Project 2025. They’re doing it.” Jimmy Stewart/Mr. Smith vibes….

Same media who claims Democrats need to speak up.. crickets.

–

Trump administation, already trying to deport foreign students who participated in pro-Palestine protests, now investigating Columbia, Cal, Minnesota, Northwestern & Portland State for allowing protests

Muslims who voted against Kamala -welcome to the face-eating leopards club.

–

Meanwhile, while President NonElect Leon and DonOld claim it’s about cost savings, their performance deportation of immigrants costs several times more per person than if they had booked them all first class flights.

–

Critical fact think many of my fellow liberals miss:

Right now urgent priority is convincing a few GOP Senators to vote “no” on Trump’s worst cabinet nominees. GOP has 53 votes.

If we can’t reach across aisle to convince them DonOld gets ALL his choices confirmed.

Moving forward

January 30, 2025

Yes, hard to find things to laugh about these days, especially with the recent DCA airline-helicopter crash

But snark will help us survive.

So onwards.
–

Aaron Rodgers is supporting RFK Jr for HHS secretary. Crazy recognizes crazy.

Feds are now probing unusual betting patterns surrounding the play of Terry Rozier, with NBA Charlotte Hornets in 2023. It’s enough to make you long for the purity of pro-wrestling

Before my memory but as a figure skating fan as a kid – Peggy Fleming, Karen Magnussen, Janet Lynn etc, I remember learning about the US figure skating team being killed in a plane crash in 1961. Awful story, Posting only because it’s worth remembering them. Many would otherwise still be alive today

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabena_Flight_548

For so many reason we already miss Joe Biden. But today after the National Airport plane crash we REALLY miss him as the Consoler in Chief.

–

Trump spends couple minutes on reading message of sympathy for crash victims in robotic manner- doesn’t mention young US figure skaters, does mention Russians killed on board; rest of rambling briefing blames DEI, Obama, Biden & Buttigieg for tragedy. There is no bottom.

–

Need to say this again for those in the back. In Trump’s rambling, blame filled press conference, he spontaneously mentioned Russians on the plane, but not that there were fourteen members of the US figure skating community.  

In case you wonder where DonOld’s loyalities lie..

–

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy is a doctor. Wouldn’t it be a violation of the Hippocratic oath to vote for RFK Jr?

–

Amy Klobuchar today asked Kash Patel about him saying that FBI headquarters should be shut down & turned into a museum of the deep state. When Patel tried to attack her, Amy pointed out, “they were his own words from Sept 2024. Facts matter. Senator Klobuchar brought receipts.

–

Even if you’re a Republican who actually believes Trump’s constant rants that media & “deep state” government are against him, do you want the director of FBI’s main focus to be retribution for Donald? Or to be focused on keeping all Americans safe?

–

Can anyone remember President Biden acting as consoler-in-chief & spending more time on blaming his enemies than mourning victims?

And we’ve already lost count of how many times since election Trump has done that… New Orleans, Los Angeles fires & now DCA airline crash etc.

–


Why are we surprised that Velveeta Voldemort, a man who has never read the constitution, believes that birthright citizenship isn’t in the constitution?


Shock and Awe is turning increasingly into “Shock and Ah, Sh*t”

Rich get richer

January 25, 2025

–

Government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires..

Makes many of us really look forward to diversion of baseball season. Where at least everyone has chance on opening day… (

(Sees Dodgers offseason shopping spree. & 1/2 billion $$ payroll.)

Never mind.

–

So who are Trump and MAGA going to root for to get to the Super Bowl.

Buffalo is from a blue state, Chiefs biggest fan is Taylor Swift, and both Commanders and Eagles are from very blue cities.

Maybe DonOld will golf and say who cares about the game anyway?

–

Mitch McConnell issued scathing statement against Pete Hegseth, “as he assumes office, consequences of failure are as high as they have ever been.”

If only Mitch had chance to make sure convicted felon who nominated Pete was impeached & couldn’t return to the Oval Office.

–

Is it too soon to start the pool on the first time someone gets a picture of Pete Hegseth drinking in Washington DC?

–

To get Hegseth confirmed as defense secretary it took VP Vance to break the tie.

President Non Elect Musk, Trump & Vance will so own this debacle. Btw repeat DUI offenders have to have ignition lock devices to check if they have been drinking. ..

–

As Senators like Joni Ernst weigh going against their consciences because they think showing loyalty to Trump will protect them…. Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and Jeff Sessions would like a word.

–

Thinking if Trump withholds federal money from California, California should just stop sending our taxpayers’ money to the federal government.

To put in language DonOld understands:

Quid. Pro. Quo

–

Now DonOld is selling t-shirts for $47 that say “Gulf of America” on them.

Is there anything he won’t try to make money on?

–

Discovering that a whole lot of people in red states who convinced themselves they knew more than doctors about COVID…have now convinced themselves they know more about wildfires than firefighters.

–

“Friday night news dump” – phrase exists for a reason. No politician says or does anything they are proud of or want media coverage of on Friday night. Which of course is when Velveeta Voldemort fired all the IGs.

·

Donald Trump just terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci’s taxpayer-funded security detail. Betting Dr. Fauci’s security for a year didn’t cost taxpayers as much as one Presidential golf game. What a sad petty little man we elected as President.

Spurred on…

January 24, 2025

The San Antonio Spurs every February go on an about a three week Rodeo Road Trip while an actual road trip takes over their arena.

Today in Paris the Spurs and Wemby played the red-hot Indiana Pacers. They won 140-110.(and it wasn’t that close.) Maybe next year San Antonio will ask to play the whole three weeks in France…

–

Oscar nominations are out. Has Velveeta Voldemort threatened yet to shut down the ceremony because they didn’t nominate him?

–


Can only imagine how furious MAGA would be if someone at the National Cathedral on Tuesday had preached. “‘For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty & you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger & you took me in….”

“Some female soliders have written letters in support of Pete Hegseth.” Well, Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t eat everyone he met either.

–

Do I like John Ratcliff? No. Do I think he is qualified? Yes.

Elections have consequences.

But, before Velveeta Voldemort those consequences used to have limits in reality.

–

Just curious. Since Pete Hegseth is now saying he doesn’t have a drinking problem but won’t drink if he is confirmed, what happens if he is confirmed and he is seen drunk in public?

Brooke Rollins, nominee for Agriculture Secretary, had civil hearing today, said she would work w/ lawmakers to modernize temporary visa program. She did contest Dem claims 40-50% of agricultural workers are undocumented, arguing “we just don’t know.” We’re about to find out.

–

Forget actually making a Nazi salute, I’m so old I remember when even making a joke about being a Nazi would result in universal condemnation.

–


Major reason Fox News viewers voted for Trump.

LIES.

Today’s Fox headline “Over 200 House Democrats vote against bill protecting infants who survive abortions.” What it doesn’t say, the law ALREADY protects infants who survive abortion.

–


Simple fact: Pete Hegseth’s ex-sister-in-law KNOWS that a false accusation put in an affidavit could put her in jail. And she stands by her statement. Bet she’d take a lie detector test too. Would Pete?

–

For the younger generation who may never have heard this quote: “You don’t need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight.” That noted liberal, Senator and Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater

–

Rachel Maddow talking about Crypto and making the comparison to Beanie Babies and I am so here for it. (What’s next, Trump tulip bulbs?)

–

For the younger generation who may never have heard this quote: “You don’t need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight.”

Leaving the lights on

December 21, 2024

US Senate early this am passed imperfect compomise funding bill to keep govt open, after GOP-led House finally passed bill only with Democratic support. Wouldn’t it be easier just to vote for adults? (ie Democrats.)

–

And the Senate late night did pass a bill -unanimously – that was originally stripped by Musk from the funding bill, to make it easier for the Washington Commanders to return to Washington DC at the RFK stadium site.

The late vote was called a Hail Mary. Now, it’s good for the city of Washington DC, but Roger Goodell and the NFL also really wanted the bill passed. I’m sure the fact that it’s a multi-billion dollar league with many billionaire owners had nothing to do with it…

–

Again, wonder how those who only get news from Fox are brainwashed? After House Democrats compromise, again, to keep govt open when GOP would’ve let shutdown happen… Faux News headline “Congress passes bill to stop partial government shutdown after missing midnight deadline.”

–

Every headline on stopgap government funding bill that passed today in House should include – it ONLY passed for 2 reasons: 1. Johnson refused Musk/Trump demands to eliminate debt ceiling. 2. Democrats voted to save Christmas & keep Government open. GOP didn’t back Musk/Trump.

–

The CR was basically a noncontroversial non-story -three months of negotiation with the usual complaints that it was coming down to the wire but all looked settled. Until President Musk decided to try to steal Christmas.

–

Elon Musk is reversing the Pottery Barn rule. For him it’s “You buy it, then you break it.


Good news. Bill to put a monument to women’s suffrage on the mall in Washington DC passes unanimously in the US Senate Wonder though how long it will take some GOP members of Congress to try to overturn the 19th amendment.

–

Schumer gave tribute to Mitch McConnell, who’s not leaving Senate but stepping down as Leader. Chuck said “all my colleagues on both sides of aisle join me in offering best wishes & respect.”. Uh, to man who singlehandedly destroyed our SCOTUS by stealing 2 seats? Hard pass.

–

Hey Germany.

1. Elon Musk is endorsing AfD far-right neo Nazi party in your elections. Everything else aside, take a look at the US near shutdown chaos right now that resulted from American voters listening to him last November. Learn from our mistake.

2. Fröhliche Weihnachten

Wipeout

December 20, 2024

The Golden State Warriors lost by 51 to the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.

And they still didn’t have as embarassing a day as Donald Trump and President Musk.

–

As much as New Orleans Saints fans sometimes miss Sean Payton, the Broncos loss to the Chargers after Denver had a 24-13 lead midway through the third quarter reminds us why Saints might have let him go.

Lawrence O’Donnell tonight “We are watching live coverage of the total collapse of the Elon Musk Donald Trump partnership in government in the House.”.” Schadenfreude is bad, right? Oh who am I kidding?

–

–

This Musk-Trump fiasco, before they are even inaugurated, is as if an NFL team was leading by 3, with a few seconds to go & the QB, instead of taking a knee, decided to go for long pass to pad his stats…which got intercepted & run back by the opponent for a game winning TD

–

-President Musk and VP Trump’s new budget bill went up in flames faster than some Tesla cybertrucks after a crash.

–

Here’s a thought. DC hotel prices, normally $2000 & up for inaugurals with 4 night minimums are in freefall for Jan 19-20. Now Washington Hilton, for example, is $700 a night. Does Donald want to shut down government to distract from the fact that people aren’t showing up?

–

Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. Twitter/X is now worth under $10 billion This is the stable genius that many Republicans are fine with as the real President of our Country?

–

Hey Trump voters, when you have to cancel a family Christmas vacation to a national park, or miss a plane due to TSA shortages, or don’t get paid until the end of January… Hope it was worth making that statement of not voting for a black woman.

–

And the Musk-Trump bill that failed didn’t just cut millions for pediatric cancer research. They cut the “Take it Down Act” -which criminalizes taking regular pictures & using AI to put a person’s head on a naked body, possibly engaging in sex.

A bill so needed for children that it passed unanimously in the US Senate after Amy Klobuchar & Ted Cruz actually joined forces to lead it.

–

Give me a bleeping break! Senator Mike Lee trying to hold up noncontroversial nominees because President-Elect “has asked we hold off on confirming any Presidential nominees until he takes office.” Same Lee who supported Amy Coney Barrett for SCOTUS while US was voting for Biden in 2020!

–

For my nerd English literature fan readers:

Trump thinks he’s a King. The King he’s closest to being is King Lear. “He that loves to be flattered is worthy of the flatterer.”

Worthy foes

December 11, 2024

Duke beat Incarnate Word 72-46 tonight in men’s basketball.

Most people are reacting – who is Incarnate Word?

And Alabama is going – how do we schedule them in football?

–

15 years and $765 million deal for Juan Soto. Will the Mets start selling beer on the installment plan?

–

–

Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, dealing with knee issues, practiced for first time this season. The Clippers don’t want to rush him however. They want Kawhi to be fully ready to be injured in the postseason.
–

As many responding to Mitch McConnell’s fall are saying at 82 he iss too old and should have retired a long time ago, may I remind everyone….

At 78 years, 5 months and 26 days, Donald Trump, the 45th & president-elect of the United States, is the OLDEST president-elect in the history of the United States.

–

As Kimberly Guilfoyle is nominated for Ambassador to Greece, has media forgotten this? In 2018, Guilfoyle was told to resign or be FIRED from Fox News after investigation of a sexual harassment accusation against her. For DonOld, sexual misbehavior is a feature not a bug.

–

As Republicans now appear to be putting Social Security and Medicare cuts on the table, your reminder, members of Congress Members of Congress may receive pensions up to 80% of their final salary – for House members & US Senators that’s $139,200!

–

Rachel Maddow quoting Tommy Tuberville on Trump’s nomination “He’s not going to pick someone who’s a criminal.” Well, yeah, technically. “someone” is singular. Trumps has plural nominees who are criminals.

–

Watched “Love Actually” for the umpeenth time recently on a flight. Thinking British PM Keir Starmer should watch the scenes again with Hugh Grant’s speech as PM to Billy Bob Thorton as US President. (Not that 45-47 is anywhere close to the level of Billy Bob.)

–

So Trump doesn’t have a pick yet for UK Ambassador. Is he trying to think who would most insult the British people? Someone like Sean Hannity perhaps? Or Meghan Markle? Or Ivanka?

–

Vigilante violence is 100% wrong. And personally I’m not a fan of insurance companies But seeing all these Americans celebrating the murder of a healthcare CEO makes me wonder how they’ll react to Republicans potentially taking their ACA away. (Which would mean, among other things, losing pre-existing condition coverage. And having their 24-25 year old children kicked off their insurance.)

–

Maye Musk, backing Lara Trump to replace Marco Rubio “Senate is an old man’s club & needs a smart outspoken woman.” So why no complaints from Maye on Tom Cotton beating Joni Ernst for #3 in GOP Senate leadership. On other side, Democrats did elect Amy Klobuchar, 64, as THEIR #3.

–

So now it turns out that Maye Musk also sometimes sits in on her unelected son’s “DOGE” meetings with Vivek and executives and politicians. This isn’t just an incoming adminstration, it’s a psychology doctoral dissertation.

–
EPA just banned 2 cancer-causing chemicals used in cleaning products- trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene — which can cause multiple kinds of cancers How long until Trump reinstates them? MCGA – Make Cancer Great Again.

Monopolies are a major cause of high prices

Amy Klobuchar has been leading bipartisan anti-trust effort and Biden appointee Lina Khan’s FTC just blocked the Kroger-Albertson merger which would have have hurt consumers! And yes, increase egg prices

Missing the PAC?

December 7, 2024

Arizona State, picked to finish last in the Big 12, just won the conference titles.

This is written before Oregon plays Penn State for the Big 10 title.

But just maybe some other college teams are regretting breaking up the Pac 12?

Sorry Milwaukee Brewers fans for taking Willy Adames. I know he’s a good one. But we will appreciate him much more than those billiion dollar boys down in Los Angeles.

Love, #SFGiants fans.

–

With all this controversy over raw milk, something to be said for letting Trump / RFK Jr. supporters drink raw milk it and everyone else avoid it… and let the problem work itself out.

–

As Trump threatens to primary every Senator who doesn’t vote to confirm his cabinet picks has it occurred to Donald that after two years of chaos having fought the President might even be helpful to their re-election?

–

There are about 750 billionaires in the whole United States.

At least 14. or 2% of all of them have been chosen for Donald Trump’s cabinet.

Leaving aside the fact that Musk is the real President.

Man of the people my ass.

–

You need to pass a background check and be fingerprinted to work as a bank teller. But if you fail that test, no problem. Donald Trump is hiring.

–

GOP loves to talk about dangerous immigrants. They’re partly right. But it’s not the immigrants trying to come across our borders desperate for work. The truly dangerous one is the billionaire immigrant who wants to cut social security I’ve paid into since I was 15 years old

–

Billionaire from South Africa who never paid into US Social Securty hired to gut it. Millionaire talk show host who never served in military hired to cut Veterans benefits. Millionaire trust fund baby who doesn’t believe in science hired to cut NIH money. See the Trump pattern?

–

Many despicable things about Maryland Cracker Barrel restaurant refusing service to a special needs children’s school group.

Especially as GOP wants to gut Dept. of Education, which funds special needs, & demand women carry even fetuses known to have severe disabilities to term.

Various costs.

December 3, 2024

No one hurt or died but Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison, 22, pleaded not guilty to DUI charges from July, when he was charged aftera West Los Angeles police officer allegedly per ESPN “found him asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls Royce that was blocking a lane of I-105 westbound near the airport.”

Again have to wonder, why do any NFL players with their contracts do anything other than take taxis or uber?

—

Blake Snell is the latest to joing the Dodgers in their salary game… A five-year, $182 million contract with $66 million deferred through 2046 –when Snell will be 54.

And presumably he’ll retire to a no income tax Red State by then.

Somewhere Bobby Bonilla is smiliing. If not the California tax board.

–

Of all the Trump picks who could have withdrawn, did not expect it to be Florida Sheriff, Chad Chronister.

Apparently over MAGA outrage because he ordered arrest of a pastor for holding church services during height of COVID.

Too sane?

–

Glad to see younger leadership with Amy Klobuchar & Cory Booker moving up to #3 & #4 in Senate. A

And Amy already showing again that she gets it. “Schumer, gesturing to photographers after leadership elections, asked fellow Dems if they should flash thumbs up.

Klobuchar “No, we should not.”

–

Does it make any difference to our lives as Americans if Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden goes to prison for victimless crimes when he was an addict?

No But it does perhaps matter to have for example, a Donald Trump’s daughter’s father in law is chosen as French Ambassador -who riles France. Not just because he doesn’t speak French, but because he hired a prostitute to seduce his brother in law. And sent a video of them having sex to his sister

–

A judge again blocked Musk’s multibillion pay package at Tesla. When it was originally approved, board said they needed to pay him that much to keep him fully engaged in running the company. Running the company? How can Leon do that from Mar-A-Lago while #ElonIstheRealPresident?

–

Another reason not to watch CNN. This headline: “Democrats left fuming over Biden’s decision to pardon his son — after he repeatedly said he wouldn’t”

Story says “SOME Democrats fuming.” Not the truth, which is that most Democrats said nothing negative about Joe’s decision.

–

If anyone thinks somehow that President Biden pardoning his son Hunter made any difference at all to Trump’s plans to pardon anyone who commits or committed crimes for him, I want some of what they’re smoking.

Time passages

November 30, 2024

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus has been fired. Perhaps he can use some of his newfound free time to learn how to count and read a clock?

–

Though many families looking to avoid political arguments must be thankful to the Chicago Bears Thanksgiving day for giving them something to agree on. As in how can an NFL team’s clock management be THAT bad?

–

Remember when Tom Brady was playing and if it was close the officials seemed to always find a way to help him win?

Yeah, with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs it’s kind of like that.

(Today it was a Raiders fumble after an illegal procedure call with the play originally blown dead before the snap.- But with the call changed to allow a fumble… As Raiders were in range for a potential game winning field goal.

–

AOC reportedly is thinking about running for President in 2028.

Bad idea for two reasons.

1. AOC is too far left.

2. AOC is not far left enough for the far left.

Why is it such a surprise Canadian PM Justin Trudeau flew to Mar-A-Lago to meet with Donald Trump? As the leader of our Neighbor to the North, Trudeau needed to talk about those tariffs. And as a convicted felon, Trump isn’t allowed to enter Canada.

–

Wonder how we got here? USA Today headline: “Trump talks about ‘effectively closing’ the border with Mexican president.”

Click on story. “Trump touts Mexico’s ‘effectively closing’ the border after call with Sheinbaum. She disagrees.” Headline should say, at least, he CLAIMS (if not “Trump lies”)

–

Vito the Pug won Best in Show at the #WestminsterDogShow

Disappointing all fans of lap dogs who were rooting for Lindsey Graham.

–

In Piedmont a wealthy suburb in the East Bay not far from San Francisco, three 19-year olds died and one was rescued albeit seriously injured with severe burns after Tesla Cybertruck solo crash where the vehicle burst into flames. No reports yet if they were trying to use self-driving mode and/or if alcohol was involved.

Truly sad story, but Fox News hasn’t covered it at all. Now if one college student is killed by an undocumented immigrant speeding in a car, it’s front page news. But apparently three rich white kids dying because a Tesla turned into an incinerator… crickets.

–

Bomb threats and swatting are wrong. Period. Fox News was all over it when it happened this week to some incoming Trump cabinet appointees. Yesterday, many Democratic Connecticut lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Murphy were targeted w/ bomb threats. Fox didn’t even mention it.

What’s in a name?

November 26, 2024

Three-loss Alabama is still given a 37% chance to make the 12 team college football playoffs.

Despite two of those losses being to Georgia and Vanderbilt.

Why? Presumably because they are Alabama.

–

The Washington Commanders were 7-2 on November 3, two days before the election Since then, they are 0-3.

Is this the football version of #ETTD?

–


Golden State Warriors had 17 pt 3rd quarter lead against the now .500 San Antonio Spurs & lost Saturday by 8.

Tonight they had 18 pt 3rd quarter lead against the worse and undermanned Brooklyn Nets, and lost by 10.

What’s Steve Kerr’s strategy Wednesday against the 13-4 OKC Thunder?

–

Just asking…. if Republicans are planning to allow Trump to havehis Cabinet appointments not need background checks nor Senate Confirmation, does this mean when the next Democrat wins the White House, they’re okay with her/him doing the same thing?

–

Amy Klobuchar pointed out today on ABC’s This Week. Eisenhower started FBI background check for Cabinet officials. “We require FBI background checks for DEA agents, for 1st time prosecutors for federal govt. Why wouldn’t we do these checks for most important jobs in US govt?”

–

Sadly whoever Trump finally gets confirmed as AG may in the end wind up doing less damage to our country than Merrick Garland.

–

Dear Chair of Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin – Please subpoena Jack Smith for a hearing on the information he has on now dropped January 6 & documents cases.

If not, give the gavel while Dems still have it to someone with the courage to do so. Sincerely, America

–

–

Trump claims it was “huge” that Tulsi Gabbard has become a Republican. Another sign of dementia. Tulsi has been a Republican for years.

Why do I think this story will NEVER be covered on Fox News. “Ricci Wynne, Fox News darling and SF hater, lands in jail as suspected pimp.” He was detained at SFO with a woman last night and arrested when police found “probable cause.”

Per the SF Chronicle – “Following a search warrant on Wynne’s residence, police located cocaine, a digital scale, a loaded Glock pistol that was determined to be stolen out of Fremont, as well as two female individuals, one of whom was underage.”

—

US farm industry now begging Trump to spare them from his promised mass deportations- per USDA & Labor about 1/2 of 2 million farm workers are undocumented.

What about meat, dairy, hospitality, restaurant, construction, caregiving industries? We’re entering FO phase of FAFO.

–

Some people think JD Vance will invoke the 25th Amendment on DonOld after inaugural day. Not so sure. If he does that how can Leon stay on as the real President?

–

JD Vance says now if Donald had lost election he might have spent the rest of his life in prison. Uh, exactly. Because a JURY would have looked at the evidence in several cases and probably convicted Trump of many more felonies.

–

Trump claims it was “huge” that Tulsi Gabbard has become a Republican. Another sign of dementia. Tulsi has been a Republican for years.

–

Wise friend once said, “traffic is anyone but me driving on my block.” For millions of Americans “unnecessary government spending” is any spending that doesn’t personally benefit them.” Many of them may be about to find out how much government spending DOES benefit them. #FAFO

–

I’m so old that I remember if Russia loved a Cabinet nominee that would be reason enough for Republicans to vote against him or her.

–

ICYMI. The man who has been lying about Democrats weaponizing the Justice Department is making plans to weaponize the Justice Department.

Who’s in charge?

November 21, 2024

Had a trivia game tonight where they asked which team J.J. Reddick was the head coach?

Well, actually the real head coach is Lebron. But Reddick has the title with the Los Angeles Lakers.

–

MLB Commission Rob Manfred on increasing doubts that the A’s will ever play in Vegas. “

“I understand there seems to be some sense of doubt that persists out there, but [owner] John Fisher is completely committed to the process,”

Think I speak for all baseball fans when I say the only process Fisher is committed to is making money.

–

The day the football team got back to Louisville. DB Tayon Holloway, the play whose unsportsmanlike conduct penalty put Stanford in position for a game winning field goal, was arrested for first-degree strangulation and fourth-degree domestic violence assault.

According to a police report obtained by Louisville television station WDRB, Holloway allegedly attacked a woman in an apartment near the Louisville campus after she tried to get him to stop smoking marijuana.

He seems nice.

–


Amy Klobuchar with Lawrence O’Donnell announced she was presiding at midnight in the U.S. Senate to get Biden’s judicial nominees confirmed. Wish Schumer had understood “the fierce urgency of now” sooner but better late than never.

–

Bernie Sanders had a bill to halt some arms sales to Israel. It didnt pass.

President Biden may not have done everything pro-Palestinian protesters and voters want. But DonOld will let Netanyahu pave over Gaza fo Trump condos. Hope the protest votes against Harris were worth it.

–

Three people were stabbed to death in Manhattan this week. Tragic and awful story. But despite Fox News’ fixation on crime in blue cities, you won’t see a word about it. Because the alleged killer is not an immigrant but an American man who moved to NY from Florida.

–

Well, if Republicans do decide they need to have a checker at all U.S. Capitol bathrooms to grope women’s privates and decide if they are “real” women, at least that’s one job Groper-in-Chief Trump will have a number of potential GOP candidates for.

–

Funny, I never noticed conservative folks up in arms about protecting children in bathrooms when it was Catholic priests and altar boys.

–

Heaven help us.

MAGA woman calling into C-Span 2 defending Matt Gaetz over drugs & girls She says, we all do stupid things, we jaywalk, we speed…does that make you a stupid person for the rest of your life…?

And she adds.. Trump has been through so much. It’s. A. Cult.

–

Walmart says Trump tariffs may raise many of their prices. Trump tariffs will raise many prices on Amazon basics items too, not to mention MANY other items sold on Amazon. And their new ‘Haul” site.

Why do I get the feeling that Jeff Bezos will tell the Washington Post not to cover that story?

–

Senator Raphael Warnock today on Senate floor calling for urgently passing disaster relief funding.

And this funding is most needed now in RED STATES. Democrats care about people’s lives. This should get more attention than the GOP Outrage du jour.

–

Not on Tik-Tok but have heard people are “breaking down’ because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act, and many have pre-existing conditions.

Schadenfreude is bad, right? Oh who am I kidding.

–

So while Elon flies around the country apparently surgically attached to Trump’s side, JD Vance resurfaced to walk around the Capitol with Matt Gaetz to meet GOP Senators.

How long until Donald gets tired of everyone knowing that #ElonIsTheRealPresident?

Stumbling into the week

November 18, 2024

So the Cleveland Browns missed three field goals in the first half against the New Orleans Saints, while the Cincinnati Bengals missed two late 4th quarter potential game winning field goals against the LA Chargers.

If you’re in Ohio, and can kick a football, maybe sit by your phone with a bag packed next week.

–

While I greatly respect and admire Taylor Swift, it’s a good day when the Chiefs lose.

–

May your day be going as well as anyone who had New Orleans Saints swiss-army-knife Tayson Hill on their fantasy team.

(About 140 receiving yards, about 60 rushing yards, one kick return, 3 TDs, a completed pass and a tackle)

–

–

For all GOP love to find any excuse to talk about immigrants harming Americans… They say nothing about the immigrant owning this app and the harm he has done to American democracy.

-=

Since GOP attitude now seems to be….who cares if Vladimir marches into Kiev, exactly what countries in Europe would it bother Republicans when Putin invades and bombs them after Ukraine?

–

Meanwhile great comeback win for Stanford vs Louisville with a walk-off field goal yesterday afternoon in front of an intimate crowd. Sean Spicer would have said it was a sell-out

Many of same GOP who demonize immigrants and LGBTQ people just for existing, are twisting themselves into knots to defend Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.

–

Hey MAGA. It’s very simple. If the GOP-LED House Ethics committee report exonerated Matt Gaetz, it would be read in its entirety on Fox News.

–

–


Oh this is gonna be fun… Especially as RFK Jr, is a media darling for his crazy quotes.

–

And we all know how much 45 likes to be upstaged. Besides criticizing his favorite food.

RFK Jr talking on Joe Polish Show, attacking Trump’s food choices. “‘Stuff that he eats is really, like, bad.” Campaign food is always bad, but the food on his airplane is just poison. You don’t have choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”

–

Meanwhile, Tammy Baldwin won re-election to the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. Meanwhile Eric Hovde still won’t concede and is making up lies like “Baldwin won ‘nearly 90% of absentee ballots.

–

Colin Jost on NBC SNL weekend update about 45’s cabinet picks: “Donald Trump continued to announce everyone he’s going to fire in six months.”

–

If Tulsi Gabbard isn’t a Russian asset why is Russian TV so happy about her DNI nomination?

–

As 45 keeps choosing his personal attorneys to serve in his upcoming administration who else thinks he’s giving them the appointments in lieu of paying them?

–

45’s latest grifting fundraiser. “We are going to sell out soon, but I hope that you will pick your FAVORITE STOCKING. Mine is the RED MAGA STOCKING but ELON loves the DARK MAGA STOCKING!”

How sad again for DonOld’s ego #ElonIsTheRealPresident

–

What a petty little man. Makes me ashamed as California voter to admit Eric’s resident of my state.

–

So what happened to J.D. Vance now that Elon Musk is the last person in the room for Donald’s decisions?

–

The Supreme Court says a President has immunity for official acts while in office.

Okay then, while in office, Joe Biden should release House Ethics committee report on Matt Gaetz, and all Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. For starters.

The worst is first.

November 13, 2024

Gregg Popovich’s (hopefully) temporary absence from coaching the Spurs is apparently due to a mild stroke.

Las Vegas has the Spurs over-under to win 34.5 games. At this point thinking they’re going to do a lot better for Pop.

And now back to the circus

–

Melania Trump didn’t join her husband in visiting the White House today, where she would have had tea with Jill Biden. Guess the check didn’t clear

–

Also Melania Trump apparently is not going to move into the White House. Wonder if Donald will appoint another First Lady.

–

–

So if Melania isn’t moving to the White House at least can we keep Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations?

He didn’t win

But kudos to the Telegraph a conservative British newspaper. But unlike much of US media, they’re not afraid to write the truth in a headline.

Rick Scott: Businessman behind one of the biggest medical frauds in history tipped to run Senate

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/11/rick-scott-biggest-medical-fraud-senate/

Another thing US media doesn’t talk about enough. Among his peers, Ted Cruz is universally acknowledged to be the most hated man in the Senate. Rick Scott is not that far behind him.

–

How far have we fallen in eight days? New Senate Majority Leader John Thune is hardly moderate, though he has been known occasionally to do bipartisan things and seems to work well with Amy Klobuchar on occasional legislation.

And Thune is sane. These days, that’s a major relief.

So why did Trump pick Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General? Donald couldn’t reach Hannibal Lecter?

–

Or for what department IS Trump going to nominate Hannibal Lecter?

–

Television host Pete Hegseth nominated for Secretary of Defense. I really miss the days when Vote for the Worst was something Americans just did for reality TV shows.

–

Kristi Noem, Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has killed more pets than Haitian immigrants

–

As Trump talks about eliminating Department of Education, newly elected multi-millionaire GOP Senators Bernie Moreno & Tim Sheehy have embraced the idea. Figures. Many of today’s rich Republicans who send kids to private school figure there’s no need for public education


Who else wonders if Matt Gaetz was just nominated to cause outrage and that Donald Trump’s real plan is to sneak some other evil person like Paxton or Ratcliffe in after Gaetz is rejected on a bipartisan basis.

Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “American people re-elected Trump by resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement promises he made on the campaign trail.” “Resounding margin?” 50.2 to 48.1 % as of now w/ CA votes outstanding.

That’s not enough of a margin to pass amendments in Florida.

Day of reckoning

November 5, 2024

Not my line but

“The Carolinia Panthers being the ones to get Dennis Allen fired might be their most impressive feat this season.”

–

Can we get bipartisan agreement on the fact that NFL regular season overtime rules suck?

–

Your reminder.

The Apprentice got canceled in 2007.

Donald Trump was voted out of the White House in 2020

November 5, 2024, America is going for the trifecta.

–

Thought the stupidest thing that JD Vance did in this campaign was to insult cat ladies. Then he called Kamala Harris “trash.’

–

Mike Pence made Dan Quayle look good by comparison. J.D Vance makes Mike Pence AND Sarah Palin look good by comparison.

–

But on a positive VP note.

Tim Walz “Let me speak to the guys in the crowd tonight. Think about the women if your life that you love. Their lives are at stake in this election. Trump is proud of overturning Roe v. Wade, glad that those women you love have fewer rights than their mothers or grandmothers.” “Kamala and I trust women, it’s that simple. We’re going to send a message to Donald Trump. Whether he likes it or not.”

–

Now Trump is musing about putting Mike Tyson in the ring with Kamala Harris, and whether he should ‘hit back’ at Michelle Obama. Is the dementia getting worse, or is Donald just being more public with his violent misogyny?

–

North Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democrat for President since they voted for Barack Obama in 2008. They voted for Romney in 2012! And Donald Trump is spending some of the last day of his campaign in North Carolina. Someone seems big scared.

–

“Optimism is a choice. Pessimism is a choice too.” Lawrence O’Donnell quoting anonymous Oscar winning friend. And he added “If you suffer a loss you will be in just as much pain as if you saw it coming. There is no reason not to go to sleep without hope.” Sums up being a cynical optimist perfectly.

–

–

In a world where media wants to both-sides everything, it bears repeating, only one side is refusing to say they’ll accept the results of the election if they lose.

–

When this election is over perhaps we need to have a conversation on whether men are too irrational and emotional to vote.
