With armored vehicles in D.C.

I choose to honor this man 30 years after his stand.

I've noticed with some starting pitchers they have

eliminated their full windup throwing motions and pitch only from the stretch. I hear this is done to simplify their mechanics and have only one throwing motion. I get it.


But, I miss the pitching ballet of of Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, and Nolan Ryan. Their drop and drive motion was something to behold. Also, Jim Palmer, the most elegant motion ever.

Trumapalooza will shut down Washington National Airport (I refuse to call it that other name)

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/02/politics/dca-july-4-runway-closure/index.html

snip:
Runways at the busy airport serving the nation's capital will be closed Thursday during President Donald Trump's Independence Day event, federal authorities said.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Tuesday that operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport would be suspended between 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. ET to allow a ceremonial flyover of military aircraft.

I remember the outrage by the Reich Wing when Clinton got a haircut in LA's airport, I think it was. I doubt they will say much about the orange Shitstains ego flyby.

Drumpt says his 4th of July Triumph of the Will Imitation parade will

snip:
"You've got to be pretty careful with the tanks because the roads have a tendency not to like to carry heavy tanks so we have to put them in certain areas but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abrams tanks," Trump added.


have brand new Sherman Tanks. WTF.

Sherman tanks helped break the back of the Nazis in the 1940s. Not been around since then. His first demand was probably for Panzers.

Argument by analogy

A 95 year old, rather wealthy, man goes to see his doctor and says "I can't believe it, I got my 25 year old girlfriend pregnant."

The doc says, "let me tell you a story. There was once a man who went bear hunting with his umbrella. He happened upon a giant bear whereupon he shot the bear dead."

The old replies," that's impossible, somebody else shot that bear."

The doc says,"my point exactly."

A soldier goes into a bar

and orders three beers. He takes them to a table, sets them down and drinks them one at a time. This way of drinking goes on for more than a month when the barkeep says "you know the beers would stay fresher if you just ordered and drank them one at a time.

The soldier replies,"no worries, I have a brother in the Navy and one in the Marine Corps and we decided to drink three beers this way would be our way to remembering each other."

Finally, the soldier comes in one day and orders 2 beers. A rather somber mood descends over the bar. The soldier notices and says,"oh, no worries I just joined the Mormon Church and had to quit drinking."

Since 1 September 2017 US Passport Holders have been prevented

from entering North Korea. Does that mean Shitler's step into North Korea today make him an illegal border crosser and in violation of the law?

Should the M$M be asking this question. No wait, so-called journalists traded their ethics for "access."

M$M at its worst
