Lower than low

Just how bad are the Chicago White Sox?

Not just 3-18 bad, but they’ve allowed 129 runs while scoring just 50. No team except the Atlanta Braves (133) has scored more runs than the White Sox have allowed.

–

Don’t look now, but the SF Giants are one game below .500.

–

Why is it so shocking how old Donald Trump looks in court? His public appearances have been carefully scripted, made for TV, short appearances at rallies, on TV, or at his resorts. Ask any woman of a certain age, easy to look younger for short-term photo-op. Not all day.

-ICYMI.

Trump and Putin did not want aid to Ukraine. Congress just passed aid to Ukraine. Is the orange chokehold loosening?

–

Tommy Tuberville today ranting GOP in House has sold out by voting to send aid to Ukraine. And claiming Senate should be voting on border legislation. Which he and Donald helped scuttle. Tubby is so orange & awful, does he really think Trump might pick him as a running mate?

–

Yes, New York City hotels are expensive. But is it time to start talking about sequestering the Trump jury?

–

Meanwhile, tuition at Columbia University over $66,000 Wonder how many student protesters who shut down university have tuition paid by wealthy parents? And how many of those parents are fine with kids’ actions because they think it will help Trump get re-elected & ensure their tax cuts?


Thinking students protesting & attacking President Biden over not helping Palestians & Gaza enough should listen to Republicans like Rick Scott. Scott & other GOP accuse Democrats of being anti-Israel & pro-Hamas. They demand ALL aid to Gaza should stop. Why not protest THEM?

–

So as Donald complains again that the courtroom is freezing. Isn’t another sign of dementia losing the ability to do simple things like put on a sweater?

–

Meanwhile President Biden is in Florida. Talking about things that matter – Now in America today in 2024, women have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had — because of Donald Trump,”

And yes, he’s not the first to say it, in January 2023 Amy Klobuchar’s statement: “We’re not backing down or giving up and we won’t settle for a reallity where our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers.“

But Joe’s the President, a Catholic at that, and if we just vote in November he’ll sign the bill to codify Roe V. Wade into law.

And then there were almost none.

February 17, 2024

What’s left of the Pac-12 and commissioner George Kliavkoff have “mutually agreed to part ways” the league announced Friday.

In less than 3 years with Kliavkoff as commissioner, USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon joined the Big 10, Cal and Stanford joined the ACC; and Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State joined the Big 12.

For all of us who have ever thought we were bad at OUR jobs.

On a lighter note: ESPN reports Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo will be suspended for first 2 games of 2024 NFL regular season for violating league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. If we needed more proof that PEDs often don’t work.

–

Joe Manchin has announced he is not running for President. Am not fan of Senator Manchin, but as I’ve said modestly defending him in past, he’s red state Dem who often votes right way in the Senate & he could be much worse. Lately, as with Dean Phillips, we’ve seen much worse.

–

Not completely a shock but so sad and outrageous to see that Putin finally murdered Navalny. So who on Trump’s staff convinced him not to crow about it on Truth Social.

Meanwhile over on Pravda aka Fox News “Biden blasts House for 2-week ‘vacation’ despite facing criticism for his frequent beach trips.” President Biden travels to his beach home regularly where he is constantly available & works much of time. GOP House cut & ran.

–

Was Navalny’s murder on the morning of Judge Engoron’s expected ruling a reminder to Putin’s puppet that Vladimir owns him.

–

So how long will it take for Trump to grift $354 million from his followers?

Judge’s ruling against Donald Trump said Ivanka Trump had “inconsistent recall” in her testimony. So does that mean Ivanka is a prematurely elderly woman with a poor memory?

–

Stephen Colbert ranting on media covering the Presidential Election like a horse race. “Except in this horse race one of the horses is old. The other horse is old, has hoof and mouth disease and keeps quoting horse Hitler.”

—

On serious note, if you want to honor Alexei Navalny guessing he and his family would prefer a donation to your favorite Democratic member of US Congress running for re-election. (or running in a close swing district against a Republican opponent. Because watching GOP in action lately seems like best hope for democracy is to keep the Senate and retake the House.
