On and off the field games.

November 15, 2025

Congrats to Oklahoma for upsetting Alabama.

Let the “SEC deserves a two or even three-loss teams in the College Football Playoffs” talk begin..

–

Meanwhile, in College Station, Texas, a white trooper who pointed at and scolded black South Carolina players after a Gamecocks touchdown in the tunnel.

Per Texas A&M police “We are aware of the incident in the NE tunnel involving a DPS trooper. He has been relieved of his game day assignment..

Today federal agents in Charlotte broke the truck window of a Honduran-born US Citizen during an “immigration enforcement operation. And they briefly detained him. Being brown is now probable cause.

–

Trump cut Switzerland’s tariffs after Rolex’s CEO gave him a priceless gold clock.

At 79 many if not most people are downsizing, giving things away as they realize they won’t be around forever. Yet with Donald his greed for shiny glittery things just keeps growing exponentially…

–

John Fetterman had a bad fall but recovered and has been sent home. He has a pacemaker and debrillator implanted. After he was hospitalized, Mr. Fetterman was found to have “a ventricular fibrillation flare-up.

Am glad the Senator got good medical care. Now hoping he please remembers. how many millions of Americans are about to lose medical care due to GOP taking away ACA subsidies. And that he is a DEMOCRAT who should be fighting for those Americans.

–

ACA became law in 2010. 15 years ago. So many adults. not just adults 26 & under, who’d otherwise have aged off parents’ insurance, have no memories of time when pre-existing conditions made you uninsurable at any price. Obamacare isn’t perfect. but it’s better than nothing.

–

So is Trump going to invade Greenland to distract from the Epstein files?

–

–

As Velveeta Voldemort seems increasingly to enjoy blowing up people on little boats, how long until he accidentally targets some Caribbean cruise shore excursion?

–

Politics aside, Trump administration is always Americans last. “White House Scraps Cash Payments for Delayed or Canceled Flights A Biden-era rule, now halted, would have forced airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cash for significant flight disruptions.”

So for those of us with MAGA friends/relatives: A question for them… How can the Epstein files both be a “hoax” and something Donald demands the DOJ probe to investigate Democrats?

–

–

Should be a bigger story that Donald Trump talks like JP Morgan, Chase, are human. Worse than that, he separates them into two people. He thinks JP Morgan is still alive, and Chase is a person too…

–

So Trump is eliminating some of the tariffs HE instituted on food products to make them more affordable. Even though he lied and said Americans wouldn’t pay those tariffs. Donald is committing economic Munchausen by proxy on consumers

Or to make it simpler, Trump removing a few of the tariffs he himself imposed is like an arsonist returning to the scene of the fire he set with a bucket of water.

Golden dreams

November 14, 2025

As Aaron Judge barely edged out Cal Raleigh for AL MVP have to wonder… how many of those who didn’t vote for Raleigh almost never saw the Seattle Mariners superstar catcher because their home games started at 10p East Coast time…

–

Meanwhile, after winning the Cy Young, Pittsburgh Pirates winner Paul Skenes is denying media reports he wants to be traded to the NY Yankees.

So he wants to stay with Pirates long enough to sign a billion dollar differed deal with the Dodgers?

–

VP JD Vance “”A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens.”

Yep, attacks on the same people he claimed were so needy they were taking all our social services and eating dogs and cats.

Not a word about private equity buying up home especially in semi-affordable locations… making it both expensive to rent and much harder for Americans to buy their starter homes.

–

Louisiana Senator. John Kennedy on Epstein: “I just don’t think this issue is gonna go away until it’s addressed and answered to the American people’s satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that’s the way I see it.”


Every once in a while John Kennedy drops the FogHorn Leghorn act and you get a glimpse of the Vanderbilt Phi Beta Kappa, and University of Virginia law review conservative Democrat he used to be…

–


The Trump administration now directed visa officers to consider obesity — and other chronic health conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes — as reasons to deny foreigners visas to the U.S.

So they’re saying the President of the United States would not be able to get a visa to enter the country. Got it.

–

Glad Fetterman is doing okay after a fall, and he has great insurance as a member of the Senate.

Yet he was one of the first Democrats to join GOP in being willing to take ACA subsidies and thus healthcare from millions of Americans,

–

For those who never read Sherlock Holmes (or have forgotten) this would be a good time to pick up a copy of “The Adventures of Silver Blaze.” “The dog that didn’t bark…”

–

NY Times headline “By Not Funding Food Stamps, Trump Risks Lasting Damage to Safety Net.” Of course, is there really any doubt that a man who apparently features prominently in the Epstein files doesn’t give a d*mn about children?

–

So Fox News actually has a headline on the Epstein files: “Former prince under fire as Epstein emails expose truth about infamous photo.” All they mention on Donald – ” Trump reveals exclusive makeover plans for ‘ugly’ White House neighbor.” And we wonder why it’s a cult.

–


One thing that’s critically important listening to and watching these Epstein victims speak out It’s too easy to see them as the women they are, not the underage GIRLS they were when they were trafficked and raped.

–

Trump administration has reportedly directed visa officers to consider obesity — and other chronic health conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes — as reasons to deny foreigners visas to the U.S.

So they’re saying the President of the United States would not be able to get a visa to enter the country. Got it.

–

Every single action Donald Trump takes now makes it increasingly obvious: The Epstein files are worse for him than anything we could imagine.

Shutting down

November 11, 2025

RIP Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, 84. Paul kept Saints in New Orleans when owner wanted to move to San Antonio. He also instituted Rooney rule, requiring NFL teams to interview minority & female candidates. How long until Trump refers to Tagliabue as a sucker & loser?

–

LSU Tigers are a disappointing 5-3. The Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry got both LSU’s athletic director Scott Woodward basically fired after HE fired Brian Kelly . The school apparently is now seeking to fire Kelly “for cause” and potentially avoid paying a full buyout of nearly $54 million.

Can they all lose?

–

Trump is now attacking and threatening air traffic controllers who have called in sick or taken time off during the shutdown. And praising those who have worked every saying he wants to give them a $10,000 bonus. Now, they probably won’t get the bonus.

But why isn’t the media asking “Those who stayed and never called in sick could afford to miss a paycheck or two. Why are you punishing the most in need?”

–

And Velveeta Voldemort is now still trying asking Supreme Court to let him not pay all the SNAP money. He is actually fighting not to feed hungry people – including women and children and seniors.

And not just not feed hungry people. Not feed hungry Americans. Just in case anyone justified the USAID cuts as only killing poor people in other parts of the world.

He also now says the east wing of the White House was “despanded”.

How long until the today’s GOP can be “despanded?

–

Whatever you think of the “deal” to open government ,can we stop with the narrative that moderate Democrats caved? Some moderate Democrats voted yes.

But Amy Klobuchar, Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Ruben Gallego and Mark Warner – for starters – are not far-left. And they voted to keep fighting.

–

Everyone in America agrees the cost of healthcare is too high. But the way to fix it is NOT to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance now. There’s an adult solution. Extend the ACA subsidies, THEN work on ways to make them less necessary in future.

And if Trump’s “die in debt” 50 year mortgage idea isn’t bad enough, now he’s considering a 15 year car loan. (The average car only lasts 12 years.) How many debtors’ prisons are Donald’s rich friends building?

–

Trump’s latest strike brings total of people murdered in boats to 75. All “alleged” narco-terrorists. Considering that he sent gay makeup artist to El Salvador over tattoos & his ICE has detained US citizens, anyone want to hazard a guess how many innocents Donald has killed?


How long until we get the “Don’t blame me I voted for her” bumper stickers again?

=

Small mercies Supreme Court rejected Kim Davis’s appeal to overturn legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Of course, maybe a woman married 4 times with 4 children, none biologically fathered by her current husband, might have not been the best plaintiff.

And again –
Millions of Americans not only depend on ACA/Obamacare. Many Americans have no idea they are using ACA/Obamacare.

Kynect, Pennie, Covered California, MNsure, Georgia Access, Nevada Health Link, Healthcare .gov All of these ARE the ACA/Obamacare

–


Remember when Joe Biden was President and we could go a whole 24 hours without thinking “Now what the f*ck did he do today?”

Dangerous games?

November 10, 2025

Headline: “Trump Booed At Yet Another Sporting Event While Attending Commanders Game” No punchline, i just like sharing it.

–

Donald Trump may have done the impossible. Become more unpopular with Washington football fans than Dan Snyder.

–

The good news for the Commanders. Booing Trump gave fans something to do besides booing the team, who at 3-7 are now in the running for a top three, certainly top five draft pick.

–

On top of everything else, increasing number of NFL games on cable & streaming channels mean cash-strapped American worried about SNAP/health insurance/higher prices can’t even watch their favorite teams for free.

While Donald flew on Air Force One to attend an NFL game in a luxury suite.

–

Not the Onion Per ESPN “Sources: Trump wants Commanders’ new D.C. stadium named for him.” Okay, can we start with his name on and picture at the bottom of every urinal?

=

On SNL Weekend Update Colin Jost talks about Donald Trump wishing the royal family well. And wonders if he will send Prince Andrew this birthday card

–

–

Trump tonight pardoned almost everyone, including Rudy Giuliani, who was convicted of trying to overthrow 2020 election.

1. Does this seem like a man who ever wants to leave White House?

2. Does this seem like a man who will honor the few concessions GOP made to reopen goverment?

–

As Trump lies & says US will soon begin paying down National Debt, U.S. government’s gross national debt hit $38 trillion in October: “The fastest accumulation of trillion dollars in debt outside of COVID-19 pandemic. US hit $37 trillion in gross national debt in August..

–

Anyone who agrees to a 50 year mortgage has never read the story of Sisyphus.

–

Kynect, Pennie, Covered California, MNsure, Georgia Access, Nevada Health Link, Healthcare .gov All of these ARE the ACA/Obamacare Wonder how many Americans using Obamacare have no idea they are on it.

–

So what will the eight Senators who voted to reopen the government say when Trump ignores some or all of the the compromise deal struck and their GOP colleagues do nothing?

–

While our national debt soars, today Trump again is waving around the idea about $2000 checks to Americans from tariffs.

It all makes sense if you remember what Amy Klobuchar referred to as “a bombshell a day.” And it’s ALL distraction #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

–

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today attacked ABC’s George Stephanopoulos for calling Republicans “terrorists” during 1995 government shutdown. Has Bessent listened to what his boss Donald calls Democrats?

Youth and treachery

November 8, 2025

As the San Antonio Spurs play an imperfect game and still knock off Kevin Durant and the Rockets, Victor Wembanyama, double-teamed all night and not “on” his game,, still dunked on Durant and ended up with 22 points, 4 assists, 8 rebounds…

Your reminder, Wemby is 21 years old.

–

Mississippi State president Mark Keenum, chair of the College Football Playoff, board of managers told EPSN today SEC would prefer to “not have automatic bids” in future iterations of the playoff

Translation, the SEC doesn’t want pesky small conference winners getting in the way of them having half or more of the playoff field..

–

Meanwhile, since Fox News and right wing media love everything that their leaders, why aren’t they posting their sleeping beauty picture. (yes, this was during a press conference.)

–

Why do things that get you horrible press and cause your party to lose elections? When releasing the Epstein files would be far worse than anyone can imagine.

–

Who else honestly thought this was satire? “Melania Trump will receive the ‘Patriot of the Year’ award from Fox at their annual primetime Patriot Awards show tonight.”

So (New York based) media wants to keep talking about what Mamdani’s win as a democratic socialist in New York City means for the Democratic Party.

But not a word about Minneapolis, where Democratic mayor Jacob Frey DEFEATED democratic socialist Omar Fateh.

–

As much as we might “relish” the story of the Subway sandwich thrower being found innocent…

How many taxpayer dollars did we waste on this small stop on Trump’s retribution tour?

–

Amazing how many people justifying Trump’s efforts to take SNAP benefits away from women and children and seniors call themselves Christian in their social media bios.

–

If GOP members of Congress lost THEIR health insurance until the shutdown was over they’d vote to extend ACA subsidies and open the government tonight.

As Trump asks SCOTUS for an immediate ruling to let him starve poor people by cutting off SNAP, he’s dining tonight at Mar-A-Lago. Where memberships start at $1 million. Before dues and meals

–

While some grownups in Senate try to come to a deal to open government,

NY Times points out Speaker Mike Johnson “has refused to commit to even allowing a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies.” What does Velveeta Voldemort have on Mike?

–

Lindsey Graham today on the Senate Floor defending Donald Trump’s absolute right to declare war without Congressional approval. John McCain was one of Graham’s best friends. I hope John is haunting Lindsey’s dreams.

–

Stephen Colbert on the morning after the 2025 elections: “Democrats are walking around with a spring in their step like a divorced mom in her 40s whose new haircut just got her carded in 2 different bars.”

Booby prizes?

November 6, 2025

At least some chatter that the Los Angeles Dodgers might turn down a White House visit due to Trump’s ICE/National Guard attempted takeover of Los Angeles.

If that happens this SF Giants fan will actually applaud the Dodgers.

(All but MAGA Blake Treinen who would probably go for lunch with Donald himself.)

–

–

Meanwhile, 66 (!) fouls called in a THREE hour Los Angeles Lakers- San Antonio Spurs game.

As much as I complain about baseball umpires the referees in tonight’s games made realize officiating could be much much worse.

Nobody pays their way in or turns on the TV to watch a foul shot competition.


Trump’s buddy Gianni Infantino says he will award first Fifa Peace Prize at World Cup draw in DC- to go to “individuals who help unite people in peace through unwavering commitment and special actions.” The draw which will be at the Kennedy Center in on Dec 5.

Wonder who he’ll give it to?

This award will have all the cachet of that “Michigan Man of the Year” Donald’s always talking about…

–

So after Trump sent election monitors to heavily Latino areas in California, in hopes of intimidating voters to stay home, Prop 50 still won in landslide w/ nearly 2/3 of the vote.

Apparently voters believe pretty strongly in democracy. Maybe GOP should take a hint

–

WTF? Mike Johnson talks about “the tragedy” in California.

Claiming Texas was following the law & California wasn’t.

Uh, CA actually asked voters instead of forcing more gerrymandering through.

If he’s not lying, maybe Mike needs to also take one of those cognitive tests?

–

Trump fundraising emails in last two days: (Nov 5 was the anniversary of the election.)

“Should I wear this on our anniversary? “Our anniversary is tomorrow & you haven’t unlocked your MAGA membership” “

Our anniversary is today & you haven’t unlocked your MAGA membership.” T

Think he remembers his anniversary with Melania?

Congrats to all the Democratic winners last night.

But for those who want to say NYC was proof Americans want democratic socialism.

In Minneapolis, Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey defeated democratic socialist Omar Fateh.

It’s about knowing, and connecting with, your constitutents.

Don’t mess with the bear…

November 5, 2025

California fights back

–

Meanwhile in DC, at a trial of a man accused of throwing a sandwich against an FBI agent, the FBI agent testified “he “could feel it though his ballistic vest”, and the sandwich “exploded all over” him.”

As an SF Giants fan who saw their relief pitching fail late in the season, I would like that sandwich thrower brought in for a tryout. That is some serious gas he was throwing..


–

So if you listen to Donald Trump all elections where he and GOP win are good. And any election he loses is rigged. Sorest loser EVER.

–

Meanwhile in CIncy, Mayor Aftab Pureval, the son of immigrants who is Tibetian and Indian, won re-election tonight, 78% to 22%, against Cory Bowman.

Bowman was endorsed by half-brother and VP JD Vance.

Looks like JD Vance is less popular in Cincinnati than whoever plays the Reds on MLB opening day.

–

All these pundits saying about how XYZ candidate in 2026 is outperforming Trump in 2024 Let’s say the real truth Trump himself would do less well in 2026 than he did in 2024… #BuyersRemorse

–

I feel for whoever is on ketchup bottle duty tonight at the White House.

A White House advisor said Trump would start going after GOP Senators who opposed his will on issues, including calling them at 3:00am..

Has it occurred to Donald that with Americans increasingly turning against him that attacks by him on US Senators may actually boost their chances in 2026? Oh, and many GOP senators may be old but they still know how to turn off their phones at night.

–

So MAGA Mike Johnson on Tuesday attacks Democrats and says “we trust the American people” What’s he going to say after tonight’s election results?

–

A White House spokesperson said by him on US Senators may actually boost their chances in 2026? Oh, and many GOP senators may be old but they still know how to turn off their phones at night.

–

Fox News pretends tonight is some sort of a socialist/communist revolution.

Uh, has Fox actually listened to newly elected Governors Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill?

Or more to the point listened to what far-left progressives say about both moderate liberal women?

–

The same President who says he “hope he goes to heaven,” is trying to starve women and children to score political points.

Got news for him. If there’s a heaven, it is NOT going to be his final destination.

–

As a California voter I was cautiously optimistic that Prop 50 would pass..

But 65-35? This isn’t just a win. It’s a statement. Democracy matters.

–

Finally, RIP Dick Cheney

I’m so old I remember when he was the worst President we could imagine.

And, in referencing a comment my dad in his later age once said -as a compliment to both me and him – “Cheney raised a daughter who could think for herself.”

Changing seasons

November 4, 2025

So how many days until spring training?

And how much more will the Dodgers at to that record setting payroll.

–

Donald Trump to LA Dodgers after the World Series on Truth Social “A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6 for that matter.”

“Lesser” group of men? Since money is his metric, presumably lesser paid he means.


(Dodgers were not only highest payroll in baseball, difference between them & 5th place Blue Jays, even with $69 million of Ohtani’s salary deferred, was over $100 million – more than the entire payroll of several teams.)

–

Meanwhile there are 33 standard college football bowl games… and SI.com has predictions for all of them.

Wonder how many Americans can even name HALF of those bowl games?

–

If you are attacking California Proposition 50 which would redistrict the state temporarily to responsed to Texas but have no problem with the Texas additional gerrymandering itself, may I respectfully suggest that you STFU?

–

Florida GOP rep Andy Olges “The 14th Amendment may allow Congress the authority to BAN Mamdani from office. I am looking into this.

Uh, first evict Trump from the White House because of January 6. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

–

Rachel Maddow on Trump’s approval rating on tearing down the East Wing for a ballroom. 10% approve 54% disapprove. Well, Velveeta Voldemort does claim to be a uniter..

–

One good thing after Tuesday no matter what the results.

Everyone in the US who doesn’t live in New York City won’t have to see nonstop headlines about the mayoral race. (And yes, NYC matters, but perhaps not as much as the media based there thinks it does.)

Anyone know how many Mar-A-Lago members, where memberships now start at $1 million, write the costs off as a business expense?

–

So Trump is talking about sending U.S. Troops into Nigeria to protect Christians. Meanwhile there are Christians right here in the US – many who voted for Donald, who are going to be losing healthcare and SNAP benefits and he doesn’t give a damn.

–

For that matter, about 2/3 of Jamaica is Christian. Anyone even heard Donald say a word about helping the island nation recover from Melissa?

–

Once again, Freud nails projection

“Mamdani is a charismatic swindler, I mean you gotta hand it to him, like, he can light up a stage, but he has just been a swindler his entire life.” The speaker- Elon Musk

–

As Nancy Pelosi, 85, has apparently decided she will not run for re-election in 2026, many Republicans are saying she should have retired years ago.

Funny, I missed them saying the same thing about Senator Chuck Grassley, now 92 years old.

–

Seriously? Trump now says if Democrats reopen the government he will “work on fixing the bad healthcare that we have.” So he’s not even claiming anymore he’ll have a big beautiful plan “in two weeks?

Not your normal numbers game.

October 30, 2025

Fox News announcers talking pre-game about Dodgers Blake Snell adjusting after game 1 and needing to “establish the fastball” in World Series game 5.

Apparently the Blue Jays had other ideas.

–

This World Series is a LONG way from over.


But all this talk earlier this week from sports pundits. about Yamamoto possibly being the next postseason Bumgarner. What if the next Bumgarner turns out to be Yesavage?

(A couple cool facts from tonight – Trey Yesavage’s 2025 salary is $57,204, which is his prorated salary for the part of the season he played in the major leagues. He did get a $4 million signing bonus. And in his first game this season he pitched before a crowd of 327 in single A for the Dunedin Blue Jays against the Jupiter Hammerheads. Tonight’s crowd was over 52,000)

To put that $57.204 in perspective, Game 5, LA Dodgers’ starting pitcher Blake Snell makes $36 million. Works out to about $60,000 for a five pitch at bat.

–

Meanwhile, the anti-DEI crowd has no problem with Kai Trump’s sponsor’s exemption to get a place in an LPGA tour event.

Kai, Donald’s 18 year old granddaughter, is ranked 461th in the American JUNIOR Golf Girls Association and finished last this March in a tournament- shooting 52 over par.

–

Your reminder, GOP got around the 60 vote threshold in the Senate to confirm Herschel Walker as Ambassador to the Bahamas. They could do it to re-open the Government King Donald doesn’t want House to return as they’d have to release the Epstein Files.

–


We are living through the worst Dr. Strangelove sequel ever. Today it’s “President Strangelove: How I learned to distract from The Epstein Files by threatening the bomb.”

–

For those thinking Dems should just trust GOP’s promises to negotiate.

There was 3 day shutdown in Jan 2018, Trump said he’d not negotiate DACA during shutdown. Then GOP pledged to work towards a deal. Dems relented. Nothing happened. By April Trump tweeted “NO MORE DACA DEAL.”

–

Wonder why Republicans, who control White House, House and Senate, aren’t talking nonstop about all the shutdowns when Democrats had control of all three branches of government.

Oh, that’s right, when Democrats had all three, USA didn’t HAVE shutdowns. It is a #TRUMPShutdown

–

LIndsay Graham on Donald and Pete Hegseth regularly killing people in boats just because they are “allegedly” smuggling drugs. “I love this debate. I think most Americans are gonna be with Trump.”

Graham, who knew something about war crimes, used to be John McCain’s best friend. I hope McCain haunts his dreams.

–

Mike Johnson: “Religious freedom does not extend and give you the right to get in the face of an I.C.E. Officer and assault them.”

Where is the followup question “So why does religious freedom give you the right to get in the face of women walking into abortion clinics?”

–


Senator Amy Klobuchar was talking about Senate’s bipartisan bill to assert their rights on tariffs nails it “His new tariff against Canada isn’t about security, or the economy,

It’s just about the President’s personal grievances and Americans are the ones paying the price.”

Actually later Wednesday the Senate just voted to end Trump’s new higher tariffs on Canada. Tariffs based, not on economics but on Donald’s petulant reaction to an ad aired by province of Ontario accurately quoting Ronald Reagan. GOP House cowards remain in recess. They don’t ever want to vote again.

–

Some GOP & right-wing media want us not to care about Canada.

But Canada is 1 of top 2 USA trading partners. (mexico is the other)

Many parts for products made in US come from Canada and most of our imported crude oil. Canadian tourists spent over $20 billion in USA in 2024.

This latest Trump tantrum hurts us all.

What were the odds?

October 24, 2025

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups & Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were among several people reportedly arrested by FBI on Thursday as part of two separate illegal gambling-related cases,

Waiting for ESPN “This report brought to you by Draft Kings.”

–

Ann Killion in the SF Chronicle “Any assumptions that this scandal was limited to those currently implicated or that this was a one-off in the sports world would be incredibly naive.”


Two words that may turn out to be the most damaging ever to the integrity of sports – “prop bets”


And not that the horse isn’t already out of the barn and half way across the pasture, but will any two words turn out to be so damaging to the integrity of sports as “prop bets?”


So if they lose this World Series will the Dodgers just buy the Blue Jays?

–

A $1,000,000,000,000.00 -yes, one trillion increase in our national debt in 2 months.

Where are all the GOP deficit hawks on this one?

–

To all those who want Dems to trust Trump & vote for CR because he says he’ll have GOP negotiate then Remember this on his new WH ballroom? “It’ll be near it but not touching it & pay total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” The East Wing is gone.

–

So many bots and trolls trying to defend Trump demolishing the East Wing – without notice and without permits. Donald could burn the whole White House to the ground and replace it with Trump Tower and they’d shrug and say he was entitled to remodel.

–

To all those who want Dems to trust Trump & vote for CR because he says he’ll have GOP negotiate then

Remember this on his new WH ballroom? “It’ll be near it but not touching it & pay total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” The East Wing is gone.

Let us be crystal clear If Donald were proud of tearing down the East Wing he would have done it on camera with him pretending to do some of the destruction work.

–

Donald Trump says he builds”on budget and on time,”

He said in July his White House ballroom would cost $200 million

In September he said $250 million Now it’s $300 million. Dibs on $1 billion in the pool

–

No way this destruction suddenly happened without a lot of people knowing. What happened to all the treasures in the East Wing, of real or simply sentimental value? Did he destory them or steal them?

–

When asked by a reporter about not being transparent about knocking down entire East Wing, Trump said he’d shown plans to “everybody that would listen.”

Give me a bleeping break.

While he hired at least a dozen of them, he has half the people left at Fox News on speed dial.

Are these name tags in front of Hegseth and Bondi and his other cabinet members during all their joint appearances with Trump for the press, or to remind Donald of their names?

–

Fox News headline JB Pritzker accuses ICE of ‘racial profiling,’ defends comparing agents to Nazis Gov. of Illinois insisted ICE agents’ misconduct happens ‘all the time’ “They’re literally going after Black & Brown people because of the color of their skin,” No lies detected.

–

Amy Klobuchar this week “I don’t know what Trump is going to do…rubber stampers behind closed doors say to us, ‘We really need to do something about these [health care] premiums. We know it, we understand it, but they’re waiting for his orders.”

While Americans peacefully protest for NO Kings. GOP acts like we elected a king.

A true World Series?

October 21, 2025

Toronto Blue Jays have just become America’s team. In 49 states and most of California. #BeatLA

–

Texas A&M is now the first SEC football program to receive a $50,000 fine from the conference Tuesday for violating its policy on players faking injuries in games over a play where a defensive back sat down to stop play on the field, after the ball was spotted. I’ll believe the SEC is serious if they ever fine Alabama or Georgia.

–

Meanwhile on the app formerly known as Twitter, trolls love to attack anyone rooting for the Blue Jays as unAmerican liberals who can’t root for our country.

Has anyone reminded them that the Dodgers’ top player, one of their top starting pitchers and their closer are ALL immigants?

–

And now Trump is demanding people not take and share pictures of his demolition of the East Wing.

If you are proud of something you don’t want to hide it. He knows this is a desecration.

–


Meanwhile, Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia apparently per Politico has said in a GOP group chat that MLK Jr holiday “should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak.”

Waiting to see which GOP Senator comes up with the most ridiculous justification for supporting Ingrassia anyway. My money is on Tim Scott or Lindsey Graham.

–

Now Ingrassia, nominated to oversee whistleblowers, has previously said January 6 should be a national holiday. That was fine with most of the GOP..

–

A new reports says Marco Rubio betrayed drug gang informants to seal El Salvador prison deal,

Is anyone now surprised?

99-0 …His Senate colleagues thought Rubio was a decent man with a soul. Looks like they were wrong.

–

Telling Ukraine to surrender. Randomly bombing civilian boats. Having military go after its own citizens. Arresting political enemies. Thinking the rest of the World now looks at Trump’s USA like they used to look at Putin’s Russia.

Donald is now trying to kill the huge Gateway rail tunnel project between New Jersey and New York

Either he plans to end elections, or wants to guarantee Republicans never get another vote in New Jersey or New York.

(A great billboard, NY Democrats, if you’re listening would be on the freeway approaches to the current tunnels, and at rail stations reminding drivers that Trump wants to keep things as bad or worse.)

Did this truce even last a Scaramucci? “Israel Strikes Gaza and Temporarily Halts Aid, Saying Hamas Broke Truce”

–

Meanwhile over on Fox News “Trump calls Colombian president ‘lunatic’ as drug war tensions explode.” Only at very bottom:; “Colombian president accused U.S. of civilian casualties in maritime drug raids – alleging recent strike killed fisherman w/ no ties to drug trafficking.”

–

If Bernie Sanders believes so strongly that we need younger people in the Senate then instead of pushing so hard for Graham Painter in Maine why doesn’t he step down and find some young person to replace HIM in Vermont.

–

Bernie has a really sh*tty record for endorsements. Leaving aside fact that he might have helped cost Hillary 2016 w/ith his late endorsement, his push for Andrew Gillum kept moderate liberal Gwen Graham from getting the Dem nomination for Florida Governor in 2018. Gwen WOULD have beaten DeSantis.


Mike Johnson was first elected in 2016 and no one had heard of him until he was elected House Speaker. He deserves some sort of award for being one of the worst politicians in American history to live under the radar for so long.

Jays eh?

October 8, 2025

Canadian trash talking at its best. Yesterday Canadian PM Mark Carney told Trump the Toronto Blue Jays were doing well in playoffs & would be “coming down for the World Series”.

–

Note, Donald just showed up 9/11 for a NY Yankees game. #ETTD

–

Meanwhile, down in LA, playoff Kershaw was back..

(Sorry, not sorry, #BeatLA #SFGiants

–

On August 2, 2025, the Las Vegas Aces were 14-14.

They never lost in the regular season again.

Finished 30-14.

They are now up 3-0 in WNBA finals.

Becky Hammon can flat out coach.

–

–

Trump goes on a lying rant against about schools changing the gender of children yesterday in front of Canada’s PM, Mark Carney.

Carney has a nonbinary child.

Mark Carney should get the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Donald.

–

During his press briefing with Canadian PM Carney, Trump first attacked three Democrats, Jasmine Crockett “a low-IQ individual,” then AOC, then Nancy Pelosi. Hmm, wonder what they all have in common…

–

While millions of Americans may lose healthcare, Coach Tuberville is lying on Senate floor on Sharia law.

He claims: “United Kingdom is essentially gone. Mass migration has destroyed their society…US may look like Europe.” Many Americans now would love to be like Europe.


Again for those in back. Enough Democrats voted for CR to reopen govt in March. Gave GOP SIX MONTHS to figure out how to deal with ACA subsidies. GOP punted.

So millions of Americans are about to lose healthcare. Trump & GOP can extend subsidies if they really care about life.

–

GOP loves to lie about Schumer’s vote to keep government open in March: Facts, Chuck voted for a temporary CR to keep things open until Sep. 30 Trump & GOP had six months to fix ACA subsidies. They did nothing. They don’t care if Americans, mostly red voters, lose healthcare

–

Trump claims if shutdown continues he will announce firings “in 4-5 days” and “many of those jobs are not coming back.” So 1 or 2 things are true. 1. He’s going to permanently fire people just to hurt the Democrats. 2. He’s lying and he will have Vought fire people anyway.

–

Steve Scalise lies today & lectures Democrats saying THEY are prolonging Trump shutdown and making Americans suffer Scalise has free healthcare for life. When he was shot his life was saved by that great healthcare. But he acts as if healthcare doesn’t matter to anyone else.

–

Can we stop with the lie that if Democrats wanted these ACA subsidies to be permanent they would have made them permanent?

Democrats tried to do just that. But the legislation was torpedoed by Joe Manchin.

–

Will keep saying this: If the Esptein files showed Trump was innocent and some leading Democrats or even Republicans were guilty, Donald would have the files read aloud in prime time on Fox News.

–

USA Today headline “People are being notified about premium increases if Obamacare tax credits ends.” As Amy Klobuchar says “This is not a January problem. This is not a December problem. This is a NOW problem.”

–

Good news if Israel and Hamas can actually end fighting. But uh, ” the ‘1st phase’ of plan?”

And “This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed upon line?” Very soon? Like “two weeks?

–

–

A simple question. Trump lies and says residents of the cities he is invading want ICE and National Guard on their streets.

If so, why are all the officials who residents of those cities actually ELECTED saying “We don’t want them here.”?

–

Florida allows open carry of guns, so Publix, a top grocery store in the state, apparently now will too


This could make in-store disputes over too many items in the express line really… interesting?

–

Trump is going to Walter Reed this weekend for a ‘routine yearly’ medical check-up. He had his annual physical in April.

–

Speaker Johnson pretended today House Members are actually home meeting constituents in their districts.

  1. Haven’t seen ANY coverage of GOP House members facing their constituents

2. Johnson and his cult members are cowards.

3. #ReleaseTheFiles

–

Gavin Newsom is term-limited.

While I like him in the Senate some part of me thinks it would be really fun if Adam Schiff decided to run for Governor of California.

Other than Gavin, Adam might be the Californian who most triggers Donald.

(Seriously, bookmark this prediction – someone big will jump into the race either late this year or very early 2026.)

–

Easy fix:

If Trump & GOP care about our health, all House has to do is pass bill saying ACA subsidies are extended, even just for months while Congress negotiates permanent details.

Then Dems will vote to re-open government & we can save healthcare for millions of AMERICANS!

Not quite closed

October 2, 2025

Yes, it’s not the #saints year. But at least there are moments of joy. Like watching the Rams choke away a game where not even the refs could save them. Getting over it is for sissies. #WhoDat

–

Tigers hung on and won. But watching this Detroit Tigers Cleveland Guardian Wild Card game and between Detroit stranding runners in scoring positions & game three mental errors got some painful flashbacks to watching SF Giants in 2025.

–

Remember when you graduated high school or college and on top of everything else about adulting you had to figure out your own health insurance? Since 2010 with the ACA young adults can be covered until they are 26. Thanks Democrats and Obama.

–

Let this sink in: Trump & GOP are using tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte to attack Democrats & blue cities. Trump & GOP would also now have denied the Ukrainian refugee life-saving medical care if she had survived the stabbing and been taken to a hospital.

–

Trump name appears in Project 2025 over 300 times. Probably about as often as Donald appears in the Epstein files.

–

Senate Major Leader John Thune says Republicans ‘don’t control’ White House budget chief Russ Voight. Of course not, Trump and Russ Vought absolutely control Republicans.

–

NY Times headline: “Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels.” Donald also describes his assault on blue U.S. cities, as “a war from within.” Yeah, I can see why Velveeta Voldemort thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize…

–

Trump CLAIMS he wants to reduce crime in US cities. At the same time he is cutting millions of dollars of funding to NYPD. Make it make sense.

–

If two Delta Airlines planes had collided on a La Guardia taxiway during Pete Buttigieg’s tenure as Secretary of Transportation, GOP would be demanding his resignation.

–

So the “Free Speech” crowd wants to cancel Netflix over programming they don’t like. Very on brand

–

1. Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federally funded healthcare

2. By US law, hospitals, however, cannot turn away anyone in an emergency. This law was signed by noted radical liberal Ronald Reagan.

–

GOP says, trust us, sign the CR, and we’ll work on ACA subsidies later.

Charlie Brown has a better chance of kicking the football than that “work” happening.

–

Senate Major Leader John Thune says Republicans ‘don’t control’ White House budget chief Russ Voight.

Of course not, Trump and Russ Vought absolutely control Republicans. Including Thune.

–

While our government is shut down, how many millions, billions, of our taxpayer dollars are we spending on thousands of troops in various blue cities for Trump’s war on America?

–

Give me a break. As Trump gleefully talks about layoffs and firings from “Democrat agencies” during the shutdown, isn’t it obvious that these were all jobs he and Vought were planning to eliminate anyway? Not like GOP would give him any pushback if government were open.

Shuffling the wild cards

October 1, 2025

Now that Los Angeles moves on they will play Philadelphia in the NLDS.

Phillies hitters must have been watching this Dodgers bullpen nightly implosion with the rapt attention a cat usually gives a mouse.-

–

SF Giants and NY Mets fans have to be united tonight in thinking.. if only we’d had a chance for 2 out of 3 vs the Dodgers bullpen… And how much fun would it have been to see Tyler Rogers strike out Ohtani with 75 MPH heat?

–

Though Detroit Tigers have left 15 men on base, is 1 for 15 with RISP today. The team is 2 for 23 with RISP in the Wild Card Series. And here I thought I was done watching the SF Giants for 2025…

–

Karoline Leavitt just said today “Jared Kushner is widely respected around the world…. “

How many comedians could work for days and never write a line as funny as that?-

–

Meanwhile VP JD Vance decided to show up at today’s White House Press Briefing. But not his boss.

Because Donald is too tired and frail to stand up at the podium and answer questions?

Hey Jake Tapper. Where’s the book? #OrangeSin

–

Two Delta planes collided on the ground at La Guardia today, shearing the wine off one plane. Fortunately there was only one injury.

Fox News headlined the story. But didn’t mention DOT Secretary Sean Duffy. If it were former DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg still in charge they’d be calling for his impeachment.

–

Your reminder – Every one of these Republicans in Congress who are fighting to take healthcare benefits away from millions of Americans have their own taxpayer paid healthcare. And if they qualify for pensions, those same GOP have subsidized healthcare for life.

–

JD Vance told another racist lie today that ER wait times are long because of “illegal aliens.” But when ACA subsidies go away, many Americans will have to let their insurance lapse. So does JD think poor citizens should die too? Or only the black and brown ones?

–

As Vance tries to tell us ERs shouldn’t try to save “illegals,” imagine what happens if you have a heart attack jogging and when an ambulance takes you to the hospital, doctors have to ask for a passport before they try to save your life.

–

As OMB director Vought stops $18 billion in already approved New York City infrastructure projects, allegedly over DEI issues, at what point do blue cities & states try to stop paying federal taxes?

–

So Republicans, wrap your head around this. The same guy who wants a Nobel Peace Prize, who proudly proclaims himself the best negotiator and deal-maker ever… Can’t even as Commander in Chief with GOP House and Senate make a deal to keep the government open.

Down and not quite out

September 30, 2025

Anyone who doesn’t think women are fit or tough enough to be in combat has never watched a WNBA playoff game

You do not want to be sitting around for next 8 months because you let another team play harder than you.” Former Spurs asst coach & current Aces head coach, Becky Hammon Neither Las Vegas nor Indiana let other team play harder One of best basketball playoff games ev

–

How many NBA teams passed on then Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon because she wasn’t “head coach material.” Gregg Popovich must be smiling tonight.

–

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Yes, SF Giants weren’t top team in the NL by a longshot But in a three-game wild card series with Logan Webb, Robbie Ray & a revitalized Justin Verlander, they COULD have knocked off anyone. And Buster Posey remembers 2014 with ONE star pitcher…

–

So if per Pete Hegseth, every member of the the military must take a fitness test twice a year can we start with the Commander in Chief?

–

Self-described sexual assault survivor Joni Ernst spent her time on Senate floor today attacking Chuck Schumer for allegedly being useless. Meanwhile the DOD Secretary SHE helped confirm announced he is basically eliminating women in military’s ability to report sexual assault.

–

Senator Joni Ernst is a combat veteran and retired lieutenant colonel in the US Army. She voted to confirm Pete Hegseth, wonder if Ernst would able to qualify for the military under the “highest male standards” Hegseth wants to impose?

–

Senator Amy. Klobuchar says she doesn’t understand why GOP colleague behind closed doors says Trump is wrong but still vote with him.. Amy’s taking high road. But I don’t have to.

One word #Cowards

–

Mike Johnson lies & says of ACA subsidies: “They are arguing a December policy debate for a September funding issue.” Wrong, as Amy Klobuchar also keeps pointing out, premium hike notices go out Nov 1. “This is not a January issue, this is not a December issue, this is a NOW issue”

–

Meanwhile the “Free speech” MAGA crowd is trying to cancel another network/show – today apparently Netflix. Can we start calling them MAHA – Make America Hypocrites Again?

–

Fox News headline tonight.

When they’re right, they’re right. “Trump faces 3rd shutdown.” (Shutdowns during President Biden’s term – 0)

Fox News actually thinks this is a positive headline for Donald? “Trump taunts Democrat leaders with ‘Trump 2028’ hats in Oval Office as shutdown approaches”

–

What gets me is that we all know Donald reneges on deals so he could very easily pretend to save healthcare for millions of Americans and then try to go back on it by EO later…

But he WANTS the pain now. #TrumpShutdown

–

GOP has the White House.

GOP has the House

GOP has the Senate

And GOP is pretending that Democrats caused the shutdown

Could be worse part 2 -baseball and beyond

September 30, 2025

June 12, 2025 SF Giants were 40-29 and holding the top NL wild card spot. Could be worse.

NY Mets were 45-24 with the best record in all of baseball.

–


Never been a Mets fan. But sure would have loved to see Tyler Rogers strike out Shohei Ohtani with a 74 MPH curveball in the playoffs.

Hoping Buster Posey signs Tyler back for 2026

–

And well, we won’t have Bob Melvin to kick around anymore.

–

Only in America do you post at night about the last mass shooting and before noon the next day there’s another one. It’s the guns, stupid.

–

For all those saying Democrats should just accept a stopgap to keep the government open and then negotiate… DEMOCRATS DID THIS ALREADY IN MARCH 2025.

Didn’t work then, won’t work now.

–

Stephen Colbert quotes Trump sending troops to Portland over false Fox News report “Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different than what’s happening? Remember Don DeLillo’s White Noise? “For most people there are only 2 places: where they live & their television set.”

–

JD Vance lies and says “Democrats are basically saying to the American people, we want to give hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care.

Same JD Vance who when pressed on claiming “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” admitted “he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.

–

It still stuns me that the same state of Wisconsin who re-elected Tammy Baldwin somehow still managed to re-elect a tool like Ron Johnson.

–

If Congressional healthcare benefits lapsed during a government shutdown, Republicans would have made a deal with Democrats weeks ago.

–

Does anyone think Donald Trump’s saying he will “chair the Board of Peace to oversee the new Gaza” is anything but him planning to built Trump resorts in Gaza?

–

GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, asked on Donald’ Trumps insane racist AI video of Jeffries & Schumer: (The video had a sombrero on Hakeem’s head. )

“Sometimes president plays with the press like a little boy & a flashlight & a dog. He’s shining the flashlight here & he’s shining it there…..” But he’s not a little boy. He’s the POTUS. In theory.

–

Healthcare subsidies do not go to undocumented immigrants. GOP knows this. So why are they trying so hard to take healthcare away from Americans?

–

Whatever lies GOP tells it is not radical to want Americans to be able to have and keep access to healthcare.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson says he’s against ACA subsides but wants Dems to vote for “stopgap” to keep govt open so “we can have those debates.”

Uh Mike sent House home rather than debate Epstein files. And he won’t even swear in newest Dem rep.

He doesn’t want to debate, he wants GOP to rule.

–

Not expecting Republicans to suddenly change their minds on gun control because of two major mass shootings in less than 24 hours… But just maybe GOP could start pushing back a little harder on Trump’s efforts to cut mental health funding for veterans?

–

Serious question. We’ve often heard over the years about the FBI having stopped potential mass shootings before they happened… Is it possible that with Kash Patel’s FBI so focused on going after Trump’s perceived enemies they’ve missed signs in Minnesota, Michigan etc?

Could have been worse….

September 27, 2025

Good news, Stanford rallied from 12 points down for a last minute comeback and won 30-29 against San Jose State.

Bad news, Stanford needed to rally from 12 points down for a last minute comeback to beat San Jose State.

–

It did work out when Spencer Bivens came in to put out the fire.

But SF Giants manager Bob Melvint putting Ryan Walker into today’s game with a 4-2 lead to try to save the last start of the year for Justin Verlander should have been listed under “Insanity” in the dictionary

–

With the government about to shutdown, Trump took Friday off to attend the Ryder Cup.

Now “Europe has set a record for largest Ryder Cup lead going into Sunday singles under format that dates to 1979: Europe 11.5, USA 4.5.” Almost as if #ETTD

–

Noticing the Sunday Shows lineups: ABC, NBC & CBS, CNN all have both Democrats and Republicans.

Fox News Sunday has just J.D. Vance, while Fox Sunday Futures has 3 Republicans & John Fetterman.

And some wonder why Fox News viewers have a warped view of the world?

–

Trump now telling parents to have five separate vaccine appointments. At the same time he and GOP are stripping healthcare from millions of Americans. And many working parents already struggle to find time for every doctor visit.

–

For those worried that Trump’s will use potential shutdown as justification to order agencies to fire federal employees working for programs that are “not consistent with the president’s priorities.” We know he wants to fire those people eventually anyway.

–

Sinclair’s ABC stations stopped preempting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” starting Sept. 26. Sounds like genuflecting before Trump took a back seat to ratings and profits…

Oh please. As Trump says he is now releasing Amelia Earhart files, remember, the aviator was 39 when she disappeared. An age when Donald probably would have said “She wouldn’t have been my choice.”

–


If he didn’t write this card, Fox News would be talking about it, with a handwriting expert, nonstop.

Top 10 payrolls in MLB

All but the Astros, Rangers and Braves will make the playoffs.

(They never did know how to spend money in Texas.)

–

10Cubs$210,695,945-

–

And Republicans shouldn’t be feeling smug and safe. Comey was a Republican. John Bolton is a Republican, Liz Cheney is a Republican, Mike Pence is a Republican….

–

So uh, if this Comey case actually gets to trial, does that mean the former FBI director can bring up Russian collusion as a defense?

–

For all GOP meekly standing by as Donald directs pure retribution indictment against Comey.. James handed Trump Presidency w/ his Oct 2016 statement on Hillary’s emails. John Bolton endorsed Trump in 2016 & almost was his SOS. Sooner or later, everyone ends up under the bus.

–

Today it’s a Comey indictment… Anyone keeping a list, or starting a bingo card, of all the things Trump has done to distract from the Epstein files?

–

Donald is putting a whole new spin on the phrase “Trumped up charges!”

–

Coffee prices are up over 20% in the last year.

Hey MAGA, Donald isn’t just distracting you from the Epstein files. He’s trying to distract you from the fact it’s getting harder to wake up in the morning

–

Trump says today he’s going to take “a little money” and “give it to our farmers..

But I thought tariffs only hurt other countries.

–

“I settled seven wars” is Donald’s new “big strong men with tears in their eyes…”

–

Yes – real Fox News headline about Trump new UN ambassador.

Waltz calls UN mishaps during Trump speech ‘unacceptable,’ vows funding freeze until reforms.

Waltz says escalator, teleprompter & audio problems during president’s address are under Secret Service investigation.” USA is not now a serious country

This is the way the world ends..

September 20, 2025

Not with a bang but a whimper

–

Sort of describes how the SF Giants season is ending.

(Let’s hope the same isn’t true for our democracy.)

–

Although, Clayton Kershaw gets a generous called strike three for his last pitch to SF Giants Rafael Devers, maybe his last start as a Los Angeles Dodger. Well, to be fair, if anyone’s earned it.

Still wish we could have seen Madbum take him deep one more time…

–

Just saying, these WNBA playoff early round games are a lot more interesting than most NBA playoff games.

–

So now the President who keeps demanding a Nobel Peace prize has a draft bill to start a drug trafficking war… which would authorize him to kill anyone he thinks MIGHT be involved with drug smuggling.

Okay then…

A third boat obliterated and alleged drug trafficker killed So is Trump just going to start blowing up random boats now to distract from the Epstein files?

–

Btw, Florida Judge Steven D. Merryday, who threw out Trump’s lawsuit against the NY Times, is a Republican appointed by George H.W. Bush, who supported Ron DeSantis in cases against COVID rules. NOT a liberal.

–

RFK Jr’s new vaccine advisers declined to recommend COVID vaccines “leaving the choice up to those who want a shot.” What’s next – seatbelts becoming optional again?

–

So how can anyone question if “The View” is really a news program, without doing the same for “The Five?” Asking for a country, and a GOP-led Congress, that knows better.

–

Sept 12, this quote talking about Charlie Kirk’s “senseless murder.”

“I’ve seen a lot of extraordinarily vile responses. Some people are cheering this, which is something I won’t ever understand.” The speaker?

Jimmy Kimmel during his monologue.

Seems like media ought to cover that too.

–

Amy Klobuchar has been making this point over and over.

Four Republicans would have kept RFK Jr from dismantling our HHS.

Four Republicans would have kept Kash Patel from dismantling the FBI.

Four Republicans would have kept Pete Hegseth out of DOD, or rather what he calls DOW.

She’s not saying it but I will. Many of the 53 Senators know better. What’s their excuse?

Coming up Aces

September 10, 2025


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.

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.
