Saint Albert King famously 'splained "If it wasn't for bad luck...I wouldn't have no luck at all."

With our RWNJs it is "If it wasn't for bad faith...I wouldn't have no faith at all."

This lady's team busted the bigot's team on Sunday. MAGATS were sad.

It was awesome. They sold out the Target Center and it was LOUD all game long. If Sophie Cunningham so much as moved, she got drowned in boos.

Cheryl Reeve isn't just the best women's pro basketball coach in history, she's also a solid citizen, as her t-shirt makes clear. She knew that game would be a sellout, and nationally televised on ABC.

Oh, and the Lynxs won. It wasn't as close as the final score indicated.

What a fucking POS

----------------

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sparked outrage Tuesday after being captured on video agreeing to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein – only to snub them moments later.

“I want to meet not with the attorneys, but with the survivors and have a discussion,” Tillis could be heard saying.

“We would love that!” an Epstein survivor off camera could be heard saying.

As he made his way to an elevator, Tillis then instructed the Epstein survivors to go to his office, which he pointed to and described as being “just around the corner.” As relayed by Hunt, however, those Epstein survivors later claimed Tillis was a no-show.

Gee, it's almost like Tillis is a two-faced hypocritical lying sack of shit.

BREAKING:

The nomination of Trump's former personal lawyer to be Attorney General just advanced to the full Senate.

Judiciary Republicans caved: All 12 Republicans voted in favor of Todd Blanche. All 10 Democrats voted against.

From a legal perspective the circumstances for we Americans of the Democratic persuasion just fell from bad to one helluva lot worse.

It's going to be an ugly couple of years forthcoming.

We had bad smoke a few weeks back, now just a smell in the air. I find it actually helps to take a regular box fan and duck tape a good HEPA furnace filter on the intake side, and just put the fan in the middle of the room and let 'er rip.

Parakeetist's avatar

Yes. There were a lot of fires.

Parakeetist's avatar

The talk show host Morton Downey Jr., who I hated for much of what he said, said one good thing - he had a poster of Roy Cohn on an episode of his.

He waved his arms at the poster and had the crew raise it up into the ceiling. He said, "Burn in Hell, you bastard!"

MRK's avatar

There was no reason to expect Republicans to stand against Trump. That Democrats don't co-sign his bullshit is all I'm looking for in this Congress.

VaselineHabits's avatar

Sadly I dont have the highest hope some Dems won't sign up with Nazis.

There is a long haul from no more field hockey to can't leave the house without an accompanying household male.

These idiots think the preverbal frog will never ever jump out of the rising temperature water . . .

TerseNurse's avatar

I'm not convinced it's that far of a haul, myself. The last few years have shown us just how steep and slippery the slope is.

(I don't think they're going to win, either. But they gonna try.)

The Department of Homeland Security has begun summoning Haitian immigrants in Ohio to check-in appointments with federal officers who are outfitting them with ankle monitors, in what appears to be a new enforcement effort after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end their humanitarian protections.

Guerline Jozef, executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said about 50 Haitians with temporary protected status in Springfield, Ohio, were called into Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices on Friday. Local attorneys said the immigrants were arrested and then conditionally released with electronic monitoring devices. They were instructed not to travel anywhere outside a 75-mile radius from their homes. (Washington Post)

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

cruel and unusual punishment, you say?

Mysterysurf's avatar

I'm guessing that the Haitians are being charged the fees to the ankle monitor suppliers too.

lmurr's avatar

Isn't that something a court has to order?

Ambiance Chaser's avatar

Upside, they could have been outfitted in neck shock collars . . .

My mother played high school basketball in the 1940s.

The girls' game was different in those days--six girls to a team, three in the front court and three in the back court. No crossing the center line. They didn't want girls to run in those days, evidently. For their own good, of course--what if they hurt their ovaries or their uteruses fall out or something?

Men have always pretended that protecting women was the reason to limit their opportunities.

swmnguy's avatar

Depends on where you were. I remember Iowa played "girl's rules" into the '70s.

Yet my wife's grandmother played high school girl's basketball in the late 1920s, and they played the same game as the boys did.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Because when women run, their boobs bounce. You can’t tempt the fellas that way.

DaveB's avatar

In my grandmother’s day they played three court basketball. Two forwards, two in the midcourt and two guards.

Shit, I’ve spent all of this decade going to nude beaches every nice summer day and have probably seen more bare breasts than the most degenerate strip club patron.

It should take a normal person five minutes to accept the fact that when you remove the mystery, breasts are just there and none of your business.

DaveB's avatar

In small towns, it doubles your chance of winning on game nights.

Ta, Denny. If it weren't for bad faith, they wouldn't have no faith at all.

Trans rights are HUMAN rights, full stop. Nothing less, nothing else will ever do. This is all a fig leaf they believe is large enough to cover their attacks on women's rights.

Parakeetist's avatar

Yep.

They want trans people to not exist.

It's that simple.

helenasgarden's avatar

I'm not sure they want women to exist except as penned up herds.

Parakeetist's avatar

This is true!

I support every person's right to do what they wish with their own body and to live the way that they wish.

Meccalopolis's avatar

I think trans people are a very convenient and insidious scapegoat. They love that trans people can be used as a punching bag. Trans=Jew.

The media will not call out Trump's attempts to destroy the Eisenhower Building.

You think they are going to bother "calling out" something like stripping women of their rights ? . . .

Birb-General of the US's avatar

Their idea of women in sports is the cheerleaders at men's basketball and football games.

PixieThis68's avatar

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if professional cheerleading opened up to men, et al.

But that would freak some magas out...wait, now I want it more!

Parakeetist's avatar

There are a couple of gay men who do cheerleading. I forget the team they cheer for.

They're on Instagram. :)

VaselineHabits's avatar

Just like life, we're not here for anything important - just to pop out babies and tell the men folk how big, strong, and important they are.

freakishlystrong's avatar

And they watch professional women's volleyball for the competition.

This always makes me furious.

OT/The New York Democrat added, “Trump imposes new tariffs? Subscribers can short their stocks before anyone else. Trump announces a new contract? Subscribers know where to invest. Trump shakes up the Fed? Subscribers get to reposition before the rest of the market blinks. Meanwhile, Trump rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars in subscription fees. Truth API is the exact definition of insider trading. It’s textbook pay to play.”

He's charging 100,000 A MONTH for this scam. This is another thing that is far too under the radar, that no one else would even dare try for the obvious corruption. Stop this in it's tracks, but also legislate that a sitting president, or any legislator, has to use public accounts for ANY policy, government business and for fuck's sake war mongering. TOO FAR.

Donald Laporte's avatar

Yeah, but Obama wore a tan suit once.

InMyRoom's avatar

Massive corruption right out in the open. Everyone sees it. No one will stop it.

What this country has become during the Trump reign was unimaginable to me just 10 yrs ago.

VaselineHabits's avatar

Feels like we kept saying 10 years ago, "If there was ever a President to do X (bad shit), it would be Donald J Trump"

But then, for about a decade, Republicans said, "nah uh, Dems just love being terrorists" and here we are.

<Mr. Trump earlier in the day had accused Pirro of folding "like an umbrella," after her office on Friday filed a motion dismissing the felony case against Hearn.>

What do you know about closing umbrellas, fuckface?

For decades other countries have never had problems with men playing women's sports. Look at every East German Olympic team.

At my work, if you are a no call/no show for 3 days you’re fired.

Baconzgood's avatar

What if you are sent home for being stinking drunk? Does that count?

goCatgo's avatar

Good question. In my day, we always tried to do twice as much work, cause when your drunk, you're really only doing half as much as you think you are. So it actually end up about right.

Pretty sure Mitch McConnell isn’t just drunk.

Baconzgood's avatar

I had a friend that actually did that to get fired. He was bounded by some sort of contract. He called a cab. Stopped at a liquor store and crushed a pint of JD and smoked a bowl (but he didnt inhale. He just blew the smoke into his shirt). He walked in, immediately the booze hit him and he fell over and threw up.

Don was pretty cool.

PixieThis68's avatar

They're idiots. About *gestures everywhere* all of this. Here's a little proof that we want more women's professional sports, among other things.

https://www.womensprobaseballleague.com/

Look at the products for each team or all. Many are already sold out. Suck it men who can't handle girls and women being good at sports.

Oh yeah! And f*ck your trans phobia b.s.

these are the most insecure men I've ever seen.
