The Thin Man

Baseball spring training. A bit of a diversion from all the politics. And with a new season I confirm that I still hate Manny Machado. I’ve hated him since his slide into Pedroia in 2017. Just a dirty player.

I gained a kilo just looking at the photos.
Congratulations Mr. Catzz!

Your tax dollars at work.

Oh goodie! Another war for The Mad King to end. /s

They’d never seen anything like that.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

Nobody thought it was possible.

Nobody thought that was possible.

nobody thought that was possible but we did it.

would never have happened if I were president, would never have happened.

(and that last one! 😝😂😝)

5/5

But I got it done.

You are going to see good things happen over the next number of years.

it was terrible. Hard to believe, actually.

and it’s coming back at levels nobody actually thought possible

4/5

One of the largest anywhere in the world.

we’re making a lot of money

everything was stolen and rigged

Nobody can believe when they see the kind of numbers

They cannot believe it.

3/5

we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.

they couldn’t believe what they were seeing

nobody had ever seen anything like it

hundreds of billions of dollars

paying us hundreds of billions of dollars.

2/5

I read the transcript of the SOTU address and pulled out all of the best parts for you.

like no one has ever seen before

roaring like never before

perhaps, like never before

it was quite honestly a disaster

Nobody can believe what they’re watching.

1/5

I guess “bike lane” has an alternative meaning there.

Only the tired people who don’t get enough sleep fall off the bottom of the earth.

I have to wonder what trans people did to hurt or shame all these republicans. The GOP keeps trying to fix a problem that doesn’t really exist.

My timeline is full of posts calling out all the times The Mad King lied during the SOTU address. Not exactly news. Almost every time his lips move he is lying. He didn’t need a SOTU address to do that.

Someone should take a transcript of the SOTU speech and redact all the lies. It would look just like the Epstein files. 😝

No! No! No! Say it ain’t so!

Read the transcript instead of watching. It’s a little less annoying if you don’t have to listen to The Mad King’s voice.

STEWART: “So just to be clear - Trump is on the brink of war with Iran to either obliterate the nuclear program he previously ‘obliterated’, or to force them into signing a deal like the one HE PULLED OUT OF — it’s all in Chapter 9 of Art of the Deal: Eating Your Own Asshole.”

They piled snow up in a major intersection, turning it into more of a traffic rotary. Over 20’ high. It didn’t fully melt until sometime in June.

From Wikipedia: The D9, with 354 kW (474 hp) of gross power and an operating weight of 49 short tons (44 t), is in the upper end of Caterpillar's track-type tractors, which range in size from the D2 69 kW (92 hp), 9 short tons (8.2 t), to the D11 698 kW (935 hp), 104 short tons (94 t).

The street I lived on was an emergency artery. It had a fire station on the street and was the main route to a large hospital. So we got plowed out early - by a D9 military bulldozer.

Remember that name - Daniel Rosen and never confirm him for any government position that requires such. And in the meantime MSM reporters should keep him in their headlights.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

“More details on that will come this upcoming week. I’m sure you’ll see it if you’re looking out for it. You might want to consider waiting a few days so you can break the news to your dozens of readers. Good luck on your hit piece, son.”

Spoken as only a true diplomat would.

That looks the heavy, wet, back breaking, heart attack inducing New England snow that was the most prevalent where I grew up.

I don’t miss that concrete one bit.

We remember the story (stories). Only the best people.

I was in college that year. Classes got canceled multiple times for weeks at a time. So I escaped the city each time and headed to the White Mountains to ski.
I skied 85 days that season which was a lot for someone not living in the mountains.

I was living in Boston in 1978 and went through the blizzard. What some people might not remember is how many storms and how much snow Boston got that winter BEFORE the final blizzard hit.

Only the best people.

Trump prepares for his State of the Union speech Expect crassness

Let’s all make this the least viewed SOTU address since they started keeping records.
I won’t be watching. I’ll read the transcript later.
