This is my second tribute to the greatest quarterback of all-time. It’s lengthy and has some good music with it to kind of fill the sports void and lighten the times a little.
Overall it should be a good day as the markets have already climbed 1,800 points on the Dow even without the stimulus bill officially passing as of noon CST. If it passes today it could conceivably steady the markets and give some much needed relief to the people in our country who really need some serious assistance right now in their lives.
I’m in a better mood and I’ll start putting some sports on here as we as a nation start the process of slowly putting our country back together.
I totally agree this last $500 billion in limbo cannot be under the oversight discretion of the Deutsche Boy poster child. That would be acute fiduciary malpractice. No way that can happen.
The correct pronunciation is DOY-SCHE. I learned that from reading Dark Towers by David Enrich. Donald Trump is clearly their boy. That being, the oldest banking institution in Germany dating back to the Nazis. Be sure and read the book and enjoy the Tom Brady video.
I don’t think the NBA will be having any more regular season games this season with fans in their arenas, but I do think there’s a chance you can put together a playoff tournament maybe after Memorial Day.
The regular season is done from my perspective. What I would also do is make the first two rounds the best three of five instead of best four of seven. The last thing I’d do is go too far into deep summer. I’d make sure the health of my athletes is paramount to looking ahead for the 2020-21 season.
But even with no fans in the stands, like Cuban, I think Americans will be craving to see any televised sports by late May or early June and that it would be good for the country’s morale to at the least have a televised abbreviated NBA Playoffs.
With the NHL and the Stanley Cup Playoffs….I’d suggest the same format and hope both NBC and the NBSC sports on cable could do the same on television with no fans in the stands as well.
Maybe by the time both sports got to the championship round they could re-examine the data and possibly allow fans inside the arenas.
I in no way agree agree with what Trump is thinking right now that American life will be normal by next Monday. I think some very steep challenges face the nation the next two months economically and functionally.
But having some sports on television will help get the nation back on its feet. I know this…no one in our family will be flying in the next six weeks at the minimum. We’ll all continue to observe social spacing and I may even eliminate take home restaurant food because in Oklahoma we have no clue whatsoever who does or doesn’t have the virus because there is no testing.
I in no way am blaming Donald Trump for the virus, just the inept manner in which he pissed away three critical weeks by ignoring the data in China, South Korea, and Italy. We’re literally flying blind in Oklahoma. Which is nothing new since this was the state which volunteered itself to sonic boom experiments with Operation Bongo back in the day.
I can’t take my eyes off Donald Trump’s tiny little hands. He’s this huge orange whale with these tiny little hands. I know those tiny little hands are the reason he became a bully and is so mean to so many people at so many different levels. But still…I can’t take my eyes off his hands. I’m thinking at some point maybe Dr. Birx can help him out with the hands with a vaccine or some cream or something.
When Richard Pryor was living he had this story in his stand-up routine about this black character named Mudbone.
This character originally had a friend with really huge feet, but he went to this voodoo lady who had a three-legged monkey to see if she could help him out with his feet.
I always think of Richard Pryor when I’m looking at Donald Trump’s hands. I can’t take my eyes off his hands, and now I can’t take my mind off Richard Pryor telling this story about these huge feet which because of a voodoo lady became really tiny little feet.
But this is my ultimate theory on Donald Trump’s hands. Somewhere in his childhood he got on the wrong side of a voodoo lady in Brooklyn who put a mojo curse on his hands… and ever since they’ve been tiny.
A star is born and it’s not Donald Trump. Even with his face and hair not overtly orange of late, Dr. Deborah Birx is becoming to the coronavirus what General Schwartzkopf was to Desert Storm. That being, a comforting voice to the American public sitting at home watching these updates.
She isn’t unhinged. She’s calm and like-able. And it’s actually nice to see a woman standing next to Donald Trump who isn’t a paid escort. It almost makes those at home feel like there is a competent adult at the podium who knows what she’s talking about.
This video was three days ago. Today she was even better and without Dr. Fauci on the stage at all.
Maybe, just maybe, she can be the Donald Whisperer who will help our country get thru this pandemic which today took the lives of one-hundred Americans.
I would much rather see Dr. Birx than any PSAs from Melania.
Please…more time for Dr. Birx at the podium and much less for Donald Trump.
Our country seems lost. Too much selfishness from our politicians on both sides of the aisle. There is no concept of team or all. We re doomed with this mindset.
Sure…we can blame the Republicans for being a group of brain-dead inbreds who voted this idiot into the highest office in the world. But do any of us honestly think the culture in this country wasn’t already in the sewer before Trump?
Trump is clearly a grifter, a douchebag, and human junk bond, but he didn’t do all this by himself.
Then there’s Elizabeth Warren who I’d like to hit with a two by four across her head given I wouldn’t be arrested.
We have someone who might beat Trump and she spends thirty seconds destroying that in the blink of an eye about some things many years ago said by Michael Bloomberg.
We all as men say under the age of forty-five or do some things and say some other things we’d like to have back. It’s a growing process for us as men. It’s takes us longer to grow up.
Take me for instance. At the prescient age of sixty-two…. I recently got banned from the Daily Thunder message board by saying some non-politically correct things on their boards to their version of Elizabeth Warren which I thought were relatively mild. I understand Michael Bloomberg’s frustration.
We can’t say anything to anybody these days without consequences. No one listens to the other point of view.
So as I watch our United States Senate of late…I feel they need an inspirational pep talk or else we are doomed.
Who else could make this shit up on a 24/7 basis? The obsession with being a billionaire when most in the know financial writers have his wealth estimated at somewhere between $875 million and $1.25 billion based on the known assets on his real world assets net worth sheet.
Now..I will admit there is the possibility this con artist, Wilbur Ross, and Deutsche Bank could very well have parked some billions in the Cypriot bank or off shore in Cayman accounts or god knows where with some Russian oligarchs.
But as far as his real world worth he’s not anything beyond a singular billionaire depending on the market prices of his golf courses and hotels.
The thought has cross my mind that when the markets did reach 29,500 in mid February if this POTUS grifter did indeed play the American economy short. He’s done everything wrong in handling this to date. Said all the wrong things. Kind of like when George Costanza did the polar opposite of what should have been the right thing.
In George’s case it worked. With no baseball experience whatsoever he became the traveling secretary for the New York Yankees. With Trump, he said all the wrong things and went from a washed up reality television star to the 45th POTUS.
I’ve wondered if he and Steve Bannon figured this is how it ends in Trump’s presidency with them, the Mercers, and Trump playing the American economy short.
I have to be careful on my modest little blog with my language during these tense pivotal times in American history. I have to pinch myself to not to be too hard on the white peckerhead faction who primarily live in Richard Nixon and Donald Trump’s wheelhouse states. I want to make absolutely certain I don’t offend any Mary Fallin or Kevin Stitt supporters on my blog.
My daddy…who was a courtroom trial lawyer like Atticus Finch would be torching these humans right now, but if still alive he would want me to be fair to all involved.
My father back in the 1950’s as a college student learned of racism when he and his close friend Joe Carter Sr. were denied service in a downtown Oklahoma City cafe because Joe was black.
Now, of course…the story goes my father then worked his way through night law school at Oklahoma City University and graduated No. 1 in his class. But more importantly that day back in the 50’s forged a lifetime friendship between my dad and Joe. Joe became one of my fishing mentors when I was a kid and became in a sense an uncle to me. Joe was the greatest fisherman I ever witnessed. Period. At his funeral his fishing gear was placed inside his casket with him I kid you not.
Everyone loved Joe Carter. He had permission from it seems like every land owner in Oklahoma and Cleveland counties to fish and hunt on their private lands. It was always special going fishing with him. He was so passionate about fishing it was contagious.
We were in fact in Joe’s house that night Joe Jr. went yard against Mitch ‘Wild Thing’ Williams to propel the Toronto Blue Jays to the World Series championship. I think me, my father, and my mother were the only white people at that that party. Damn….I feel like Forrest Gump telling this story.
So I proceed with great caution keeping the white peckerhead faction of these United States in mind. Hopefully, most of these people are so riveted on the Jeff Sessions vs. Tommy Tuberville GOP senatorial runoff in Alabama and what Rush Limbaugh is thinking of the coronavirus they would never log in on my blog anyway.
BTW…who was the first U.S. Senator in 2015 to come on board with Donald Trump’s birtherism presidential candidacy?
Yes, you are correct it was the pathetic little racist peckerhead Jeff Sessions in Alabama who somehow despite being not much of lawyer himself became Trump’s first attorney general. Of course, like everything else with Trump… he eventually set Jeff Sessions on fire as he did with Michael Cohen to save his own worthless bulbous white ass.
I wonder at times what Atticus Finch’s language would be like with Donald Trump in the courtroom while being the plaintiff’s lawyer in the United States of America vs. Donald Trump.
My daddy up in heaven and I talk about this at times. We do.
So what was Donald Trump doing in 2008-09 when at the end of Bush 43’s presidency the U.S. and world markets collapsed simultaneously as eight million Americans lost their jobs as the Dow dropped to the 6,000 range?
What was Donald Trump doing to help Americans?
Your Honor, at this time the plaintiff would like to admit into evidence the video above as Exhibit A.
Trump gave a special Sunday night address to the nation which will have the markets at the minimum opening 1,000 points lower on the opening bell. He doesn’t know how to do this. He doesn’t know how to put his ego’s needs secondary to those of ordinary working people.This isn’t about his re-election…it’s about everyday normal people.
It isn’t in his wheelhouse. This doesn’t involve pussy grabbing or trying to screw someone else’s wife. It isn’t about defaulting on a bank loan or dead-beating honest contractors. It isn’t about degrading a genuine war hero like John McCain while he avoided serving his country due to bunions on his tiny little feet.
Donald Trump isn’t a leader. It’s not in his DNA. He’s an internet troll, a coward, a grifter, and a con artist. I could go further, but I’ll stop there.
The video above is what a real American president looks like when his country is mired in a historical financial calamity.
This is what it looks like.
Then of course…there’s the leader of the American Christian evangelical movement as we know him. As we drive around Oklahoma with all its churches closed due to the coronavirus it might not be a bad time for some of these people to give a serious rethink on what it is they’re actually doing by attending church.
Billy Bush got fired.
The American Christian evangelicals elected Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States.
As I watched my favorite political show on Saturday which is Smerconish—I wondered to myself what would happen if Melania were found shot and dead in her far off area of the White House away from Trump, Creepy Jared, and Amazon-Woman Ivanka?
Let’s say she’s found dead from a gunshot wound at close range. Then–let’s say a week passes and it is then revealed there’s a security video tape which shows Trump entering her room and killing the FLOTUS.
So my Smerconish Question of the Week is…in which states would Trump killing Melania cause his poll approval numbers to actually go higher?
I’m not being tongue and cheek on this. I actually thought about this all day after doing Chapter 2 of Melania’s FLOTUS Diary. In which states with this act being caught on videotape would Donald Trump’s approval poll numbers go higher?
I gave this a great deal of thought because in Oklahoma I’m pretty certain his poll numbers would increase with the claim the tape was a George Soros deep state plot of sorts somehow intangled with climate change, hydro-carbons, and Bill Gates.
This is my list of states which I think his approval numbers would actually go up…Oklahoma, West Virginia, both Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, Arkansas, probably Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, of course Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
So by my count that’s eighteen states which are not in any manner in play in the coming election regardless of how far down Donald Trump drags the United States down toward third world status between now and November.
I think I’m actually going to email Michael Smerconish and get his take on my question of the week and if he thinks my take is empirically sound.
If you get a chance with the lack of normal life going on currently you might want to read Dark Towers by David Enrich. It’s a history of Deutsche Bank and its relationship with Donald Trump heading into the Election of 2016.
Enrich is the lead finance writer for the NY Times and previously held the same position with the Wall Street Journal. I would think or hope this book should transcend party lines as far as readership goes.
It’s a great read. You might want to pick up a copy since the world changed two weeks ago.
