Devil’s bargain

November 4, 2024

As a hard core sports fan who cares about politics I have said many times I’d rather have my team lose than lose an election. But okay new Orleans Saints, his is ridiculous. #WhoDat

ESPN headline “Raiders, at league-worst 2-7 fire OC, two others.

Your move, Saints. #FireDennisAllen

Herschel Walker, campaigning todayIt stops on Tuesday when we vote for my friend and your friend Donald Trump Jr… Donald Trump. Jonald J. Trump

I know officially you can’t diagnose CTE while someone is still alive but….


Amy Klobuchar summed it up for those of us Democrats who’ve thought all along we’d win… but “As someone said, I’m nauseously optimistic.”

As Iowa appears to be heating up, could Harris Walz team get Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar to return to the state together for last-minute joint rally? Yes, they’re friends now. But imagine the ratings -if only from those remembering a few debates & expecting a cage match.

Looking at the gender gap in ALL polls, does anyone doubt that if Trump were to be elected on Tuesday, he’d make it a priority to overturn the 19th Amendment?

It’s already begun. Last night on SNL Kamala Harris looked happy and relaxed. Trump can’t remember what state he’s in… and he’s saying he should have never left. He’s not even going to be invited back to the White House for an ex-Presidents event.

So MAGA are clutching their pearls over Kamala Harris on SNL for a few minutes, when Fox News is basically a Trump informercial every night?

All you need to know about how great Kamala Harris’s SNL appearance tonight was is to go to right wing websites- including Fox News – and see how big mad they are about it.

Has Trump claimed yet that SNL begged him to appear on their show last night?

And with all the attention on Kamala many missed this candidate for SNL line of the night


When Donald Trump’ was having microphone issues… “Last time I hated a Mic this much I tried to have him killed.”

“The last temptation is the greatest treason, to do the right thing for the wrong reason.” T. S. Eliot Whatever the reason, whether it’s conscience or $$,

@nytimes finally not both sidesing our choice on November 5. “Time to vote. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy — a case that New York Times editorial board has made repeatedly. Here’s why, in 110 words.

Trump’s fundraising emails lately include a lot of “Two for the price of one” MAGA hats. Translation, he can’t give them away.

Californian running for US Senate from Wisconsin Eric Hoyde doesn’t think kids should be able to stay on parents’ insurance til they’re 26

. Instead they should get jobs from rich parents? In 1987, just after graduating from college, Hovde & his dad, Donald, (who Reagan put on Fed Home Loan Bank Board) launched Hovde Financial..

In 2016 Trump won PA by 46,435 votes He won WI by 22,177 votes He won MI by 10,704 votes About 79,000 votes total. Fewer than fit in some football stadiums. Don’t let ANYONE tell you your vote doesn’t matter.

On November 5, we can elect a President who not only knows that Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character… but who knows that the real hero of that movie is Clarisse!


Whatever happens Tuesday we will tell our children and grandchildren that we voted in the election with the biggest gender gap in history.

Not exactly bowled over.

ICYMI, there were seven bowl games this weekend.

No, I didn’t watch any of them either.

As much as the NFC South justifiably gets criticized for mediocre team, after this week an NFC South team (or two) will be essentially tied for a wild card spot.

And yes, the New Orleans Saints, who are never mediocre, but rather bipolar at 7-7 are one of those teams.

But all you really need to know about how much mediocrity is in the NFC, both the 5-9 Chicago Bears ad NY Giants are still alive in NFC playoffs,

Years ago remember thinking some people, men especially, actually liked Bill Clinton more for his tomcat behavior with women, because they could live vicariously through him. Thinking with Trump’s worse behavior some of his base is living vicariously through his crime spree?

Donald Trump today “Did anybody ever hear of the great Alphonse Capone, Al Capone, great, great head of the mafia, right? “Now, I heard he was indicted once – but I was indicted four times…” Wonder who he’ll compare himself to next?

So leaders of Florida’s GOP Party voted to strip Chairman Christian Ziegler of his authority on board & to reduce his $120,000 salary to $1. Wonder if the rape allegation or the involvement in a bisexual threesome was what pushed Republican over the edge?

Joe Manchin “The House has been resistant, but can assure you they will not get anything accomplished unless they start working together in a bipartisan way on challenging pieces of legislation.” Manchin expects us to believe GOP-led House actually wants to accomplish ANYTHING?

Many in GOP and right-wing media are obsessed with Hunter or anyone in Joe’s family possibly benefiting from the Biden name. Wonder how many of them have themselves benefited from legacy admissions or have jobs they got through family connections?

As Putin talks about Finland, warning of he country being dragged into NATO,

Remembering a favorite poem from the late poet Jon Stallworthy:

“War Song of the Embattled Finns Snow inexhaustibly falling on snow! Those whom we fight are so many, Finland so small, where shall we ever find room to bury them all?’
