As each week passes and Donald Trump reveals more and more of his complete lack of integrity on every level possible…this is what I always think back to as we witness Lindsey Graham embarrass himself on a daily basis.
This scene where John McCain to the dismay of his Republican party members would not take the low road with Barack Obama during the Election of 2008 is what always comes to my mind.
Does anyone out there see a GOP senator even remotely like John McCain on the horizon ?
I don’t. The party to which I was once a member of has become a joke of dubious historical proportions.
Incredibly sad watching the coverage from both El Paso and Dayton this morning. It must be an incredibly proud day for the Deplorables. They should wear their Make America Great ballcaps to church today and pray hard for another tax cut to get them thru these dual tragedies.
I’m very familiar with Allen, Texas. My son lived with a family there when he was playing on a hockey team out of Dallas. They lived in pretty much the same type of neighborhood as this killer did with his family.
It just shows that racism isn’t limited to just the poor and ignorant. It’s everywhere and when you have a buffoon like Donald Trump dousing the fire with gasoline this is what happens.
I’m sure the Lindsey Grahams of the world will spin this for their voters with a different slant.
Wear your ball caps today. What a proud day to be a white nationalist American and a Donald Trump supporter.
The Western Conference race this upcoming season will or at least should be one of the most interesting in recent times. The conference is reconfigured and for those in California it should be a great season to watch NBA hoops. Even the Sacramento Kings could be in the hunt for a playoff spot if they can continue their overall improved level of play.
Golden State will still have the Splash Brothers and Draymond. The Clippers now have Kawhi and Paul George. The Lakers have LeBron and Anthony Davis. The Houston Rockets have paired James Harden and Russell Westbrook alongside a nice supporting cast. Even the Utah Jazz cannot be ignored as serious contenders in the West.
In Oklahoma City the window is officially closed. An era of basketball ended this summer with the dismantling of the Thunder roster for SGA, Chris Paul, Danilo Gallanari and a slew of future draft picks.
No one will no longer care if Thunder players don’t answer Berry Tramel’s questions as the Thunder will be in the bottom third of the West. The college market will once again be more focused on Big 12 football and perhaps even Big 12 hoops than the Thunder for at least this season of play.
Baker’s Mayfield’s Cleveland Browns will garner more interest than the Thunder if they can meet the hype which has been thrown their way heading into this NFL season.
What Little Nick Gallo does will not draw my ire any longer. If he kisses Thunder players on the lips during pressers I could care less. Life moves along.
And for this basketball season following the Thunder will be more of a civic sense of duty than of following a team with a puncher’s chance of winning a title on the horizon.
Durant is in the East so I feel I can follow Klay and the Warriors and not feel whorish about it.
The NBA world has shifted and it no longer has Oklahoma City as a relevant championship contending storyline heading into this NBA season.
In what looms as a historically important election the progressive wing of the Democratic party seems intent on re-electing Donald Trump.
Someone might want to remind these people that Independents count for more registered voters than either of the two major parties and that 57% of Independents are currently saying they would never vote for Donald Trump.
Winning the White House is more important than having a revolution amongst yourselves at this juncture in our history. Some of these candidates make Barrack Obama look like George Will. BTW…I voted for Obama twice while living in a place like Oklahoma.
Just a suggestion…before you give free health care and free college tuition to people illegally entering the country you might want to somewhat court that 57% like me who have been paying into every New Deal program for the last forty years or more.
I’m almost certain I never read where FDR or LBJ suggested we give away everything for free to people entering the country illegally. I thought there was a process we all had to abide by to certain degrees. Does Bernie have a program where my wife and I can sign over our house to people illegally entering the country?
I’m all for abolishing Citizens United or ousting Mitch McConnell or exposing the Koch Brothers, but a suggestion for the progressive wing might be to somewhat court those in the middle in this country who still somewhat believe everything shouldn’t be given away and should be earned in going through a process in what used to be called living the American Dream.
As far as these Dems..if it were my call I’d take Michael Bennett and Tulsi Gabbard. But of course that won’t happen because she served her country and he ‘s too qualified.
If Kamala Harris is going to prosecute the case against Donald Trump she might ask for some pointers from Gabbard since the young woman from Hawaii cleaned her clock in the second debate.
These progressive Dems might also want to note that the last two Dems to win the White House as in Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama both moved towards the center in winning the White House and then being re-elected.
