1. It says a lot about President McCheese, probably all you would really need to know about him, that someone called his daughter a c**t on television and he spent the next several days demanding that a different network apologize to him. For saying "nasty" things about him. What more would you need to know about this guy?
2. Has the whole Roseanne - Samantha Bee thing blown over yet? Because I really can't take the sorry spectacle of Republicans pretending to be offended by the C-word. You don't get to embrace Ted Fucking Nugent and then act like you're morally outraged by vulgarity.
You can't be these people:
And then head for the fainting couch when someone you don't like uses a four-letter word.
ohhh. . . That that word!
3. Is Melanoma Trump in witness protection? Seems like the most plausible explanation for her recent absence from the public eye.
4. Some asshole called the police and falsely reported a hostage situation at the home addresss of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor David Hogg and got the SWAT team sent to his home. This has widely been described in various news source as a "prank."

Okay, a prank is calling Domino's and having them deliver a bunch of pizzas to someone's house. Ringing someone's doorbell and running away is a prank. "Swatting" is not a prank. This is an attempt to get a young man killed, wounded, or at least terrified and traumatized because someone doesn't like his point of view on guns. The media continues to coddle the extreme right to the detriment of us all.
5. Rest in peace, Dwight Clark

An icon of my youth passed away Monday at the age of 61 from ALS.
Not only was Dwight Clark the receiver who made the legendary "Catch" in the 1982 NFC championship game to send the 49ers to their first Superbowl, but he was a hell of a nice guy too. I used to work at a KFC and Clark used to come in to get a bucket of chicken to eat on the plane when the team was traveling. One time, he came to pick up his bucket and we didn't have it ready. "My wife called it in," he said. "Oh," says I, "if I'd have known it was for you, we'd have had it ready." And then Mr. Dwight Clark, the Superbowl winner and guy I wanted to be when I grew up, apologized. To me. He apologized to little pimply-faced 16-year-old me. He didn't have to do that. He was just a class act. Rest in peace, Dwight.
Melania is in "witless"protection.
ReplyDeleteWhoever did that to David Hogg needs to be jailed. Whoever does that to anyone needs to be jailed.
All excellent points, Professor.
ReplyDeleteIn reverse order:
ReplyDelete• When I was younger, I hated the 49ers, because they kept beating two teams that I liked, the Cowboys and the Bears, in the playoffs. That said, I was saddened to hear of Dwight Clark's condition, then of his passing.
• Some asshole in SoCal recently went on trial because his swatting attack got an innocent man killed in Kansas. So no, Politico and Examiner, you can't call Hogg's swatting a "prank." I'm pretty sure that the right-wing Examiner used that word on purpose. Politico? Well, there's a reason some people call that web site "Tiger Beat on the Potomac."
• Who knows why Mrs. Dolt .45 disappeared? Apparently, she looked okay when she made an appearance today, so down to the bottom of the Trump stack this goes (for now).
• It's always about domination with the trumpenproletriat, isn't it? F*cking snowflakes can dish out the insults but can't handle the replies.
• For Dolt .45, it's always about him, but we all knew that.
I've heard a lot of stories about various 'Niners wide receivers being stand up guys. Dwight Clark, damn.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the Samantha Bee affair is concerned, I have one question:
ReplyDeleteIs there a world of difference between calling a gal a "cunt" and calling a guy a "prick"?
The only time one would resort to indulging disparagingly descriptive terms about another is if they don't particularly like that other person anyway.
No-one would ever express such a view of one for whom they have admiration and respect, right?
The random ephemeral views of a grade-B actress and a grade-B comedian is nothing to "Bee" getting so excited over.
Nice post. I learn something tougher on different blogs everyday. It is going to always be stimulating to read content from different writers and practice slightly one thing from their store. I’d choose to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a link in your net blog. Thanks for sharing. online casino games
