Welcome to OKCThunderGround!

Lest we forget Michael Cohen’s testimony pertaining to our sport fuckster POTUS. Cohen testified he used $150,000 from a non-profit account to silence escort Stormy Daniels from telling the world of her sexual relations with Donald Trump.

For her part, Stormy Daniels said the sex was awful and the small hands weren’t the only thing lacking in substance.

So now Cohen will be released early from federal prison in New York pending a 14-day quarantine. He has to be home confined, but given the times we all live in currently because Trump has less governing nuance than Joe Exotic or Mike Gundy….I would think Cohen should feel blessed.

Hopefully, when Trump is defeated in November and then convicted of multiple federal crimes in New York’s Southern District… he’ll be assigned the very cell which Cohen occupied.

Surely that is how all this will end as the United States becomes the macro version of Atlantic City.

I was driving home this evening just before dusk and this song came on the radio. I hadn’t heard this song since I watched the Oscar winning best picture whenever it was released.

I forgot what a great song this truly was and is. Hope you enjoy it.

With each passing week we honor a champion from last spring which will not get a chance to defend their title from 2019.

The St. Louis Blues won their first ever Stanley Cup Championship with a Game 7 road win over the Boston Bruins last spring in what was a tremendous Stanley Cup Finals.

Both teams were at the top of their respective conferences this season and it appeared there might be a solid chance for a rematch.

In honor of the still defending Stanley Cup Champions…. St. Louis Blues.

This is fairly simple. The rubes who attend his rallies would believe him if he told them the earth was flat and that Mike Gundy preceded Obama in the White House. Gravity as we know is fake news.

So if you’re really the George Constanza of Lying…how hard is it to deny the month of February actually exists?

Not all that hard.

Just talk about CNN’s third place ratings, pretend like you’re at GOP debate and tell the world Ted Cruz’s father killed JFK or that Hillary is the father of Birtherism.

You have to give this guy style points. He’s well beyond Costanza at this point. His ability to troll his own base is like nothing we’ve seen before on this earth.

There is no February.

I could write a whole page of content to support the headline, but is there really any point to me doing that?

Obama is everything Trump isn’t, unfortunately the president in charge of this country during the coronavirus pandemic is Donald Trump.

On an unexpected positive note today though… Oklahoma’s junior U.S. Senator James Lankford finally stood up to Donald Trump arguing the point you shouldn’t be running the financial part of the stimulus with temporary Inspector Generals every other week.

That’s clearly an insane mode.

I’ve called Lankford’s D. C. office seven times since Trump occupied the White House.

Finally, for the first time I’m on the same side with Lankford on a Trump related decision.

I know…I know…this Obama video won’t play big here in Oklahoma, but since my search for a video of Tiger King and Jeff Sessions in an embrace came up empty—this will have to do for this post.

This is the state of our Union as a reporter asks Donald Trump if he would consider a pardon of Crazy Joe Exotic from his twenty-two year sentence in federal prison.

Only in using Oklahoma as his home base could this person have run for president as a Libertarian in 2016 and then for governor of Oklahoma as a Republican in 2018.

Just stunning. Absolutely stunning how the state of Oklahoma seems determined to proclaim itself as the stand alone winner of the Dumbest State in the Union winner.

Upon reflection it is truly amazing David Stern and the NBA Board of Governors granted an NBA franchise to be placed inside the boundaries of the state of Oklahoma. Charles Barkley was spot on.

It’s just so sad because the people in Oklahoma City worked extremely hard thru the MAPS improvements to change the image of the city and state—and yet here is the dimwit Joe Exotic drawing all this Netflix world attention to the cultural abyss which is Oklahoma.

And here’s what’s even sadder… Mary Fallin–the governor of Oklahoma from 2010 thru 2018 really wasn’t even that much of a cut above Crazy Joe Exotic. I mean, I sit here and I’m not totally convinced he wouldn’t have been a better governor than her in hindsight.

She left office with a 19% approval rating which I believe in the history of the U.S. is the lowest rating ever for an exiting governor from any state. Even better—she had her daughter living in a mobile home which was placed near the governor’s mansion if I remember correctly.

To this day I cannot figure out how Love Judge Roy in Alabama did not end up in Oklahoma as the Luv Gov.

I have come to this conclusion…it’s Oklahoma vs. Alabama in the national finals for the distinction of being the Dumbest State in America.

Go ahead and pardon him, Trump. What could it hurt…really?

I hope when someone stumbles upon my blog they get to choose between a variety of topics Oklahoma related…not just on the Thunder. I do my blog in this manner because Oklahoma is such an unusual market for a major league sports franchise…and of course there’s no viable city newspaper in play any longer. I love Tramel, but one writer does not make a paper whole. It takes a group of writers with a joint passion and somewhat of a chip on their shoulders.

This oil production cut occurred last Thursday, but I didn’t want to post it because it was Easter week on my blog and unlike the Christian evangelicals… I was actually trying to cleanse myself somewhat and not be overly secular.

This cut is okay, but the basic play is still there’s way too much oil at the storage hubs to facilitate the prices staying up long as there’s no real increased consumption in play moving forward. Oil is still a net negative commodity.

This is just a first step in restoring the stabilization of oil.

Sigh.

This story only could have taken place in Oklahoma.

I wasn’t even going to watch this Netflix film, but then Smerconish featured it on his show and I thought why not.

Incredible is how I would describe this yarn about these three exotic animal parks in the southern U.S. Incredible this film could garner such fame, but I guess it reflects on what we’ve become and who we are.

I watched this film and then watched the new ending addition which featured some interviews with the principals after this became a national smash hit. Some of these people who worked for Crazy Joe Exotic actually seemed like somewhat decent guys who cared about the animals. But some of these other dudes…whoa. I mean, whoa.

An irony for me was that this Carole Baskin character reminded me somewhat of the heavy-handed female moderator on the Daily Thunder message board who banned me for life for making some honest comments as to the blog’s level of writing. Good thing I got away from that board before I ended up like Joe Exotic.

I can’t or don’t remember Sam Anderson writing about Joe Exotic in his book Boom Town, but in reality this story pretty much nails it on the unparalleled stupidity which Oklahoma wears on its collective sleeve like a badge of honor at times. Bolt that Little Carole Baskin.

I have to admit this was a helluva yarn though, almost beyond belief as the story unravels on film. I might put up a video tomorrow of Crazy Joe Exotic doing a television interview in Oklahoma City after running for president and governor.

Only in bat-fuck crazy Oklahoma could this have happened.

But here’s the thing..if I had to choose between Crazy Joe Exotic and Mary Fallin—I’d probably take Crazy Joe if for no other reason than entertainment value.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Some very crazy weather these past twenty-four hours in Deer Creek. Be safe and get thru this intact.

This is the final scene from my very positive Easter week of blogging. I love this scene. I pretend it’s Pauli ‘my’ diva lab spying me from the back of our land after slaying the mountain lion we’ve been stalking for five years.

Our eyes meet. We run towards one another and she tells my of how she killed the mountain lion to protect me. We will rule the forest forever.

The end.

Have a nice week.

What a magnificent day it was last April 14th. Of course, there won’t be a Masters this April given Trump’s abysmal handling of the coronavirus. But for today this will have to make do as Tiger won’t be able to defend his championship until November.

And for good measure we’ll never have to listen to Traber’s non-stop chirping of things Tiger related any longer.

Augusta National isn’t a gaudy whoreish course like most of those which Trump owns minus the one in Scotland. There is an innate beauty to the natural lay of the course with nature which makes just walking the course an adventure in and of itself.

Maybe sometime in the next few weeks… I’ll feature a video showing the courses which Trump owns in America. Which of course I’m sure many of the lower economic whites who attend his rallies are members of in droves throughout the U.S. That was a bit of Easter snark. Couldn’t help it. I shouldn’t do that on Easter. But the big, fat, stupid, orange slob along with the Daily Thunder message board brings out the worst in me.

Be safe.

I’ll do better the rest of the day.
