Very close. The phrase used by a Scotsman was _Loofah-faced Shit-gibbon_. Cheeto-faced Shit-gibbon is an Americanization of that. ---

Saved from having to throw out all my Yankee shirts and hats. While I think @ThelmaLou has part of it, I’m fairly certain he was never invited and was trying to get a backhanded invitation that never arrived. ---

The reason Fauci’s pitch was so far off the plate is because he didn’t want anyone to catch it. (credit to an unknown genius on the internet) ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > The reason Fauci’s pitch was so far off the plate is because he didn’t want anyone to catch it. > (credit to an unknown genius on the internet)- Cute, but I give the guy credit for being a good sport and not caring that his pitch wasn’t that of a professional. I’m guessing most MLB pros probably wouldn’t be too good at routine doctor stuff. But trump has to look like the best at everything… or at least be able to delude himself that he looks great (supported by the suck-butts around him). ---

Don’t forget that Trump brags about being a baseball star in High School and being recruited for the majors (which appears to be at least partially true). His ego would be doubly hurt if he screws up something he is supposed to be good at. ---

> [@psychobunny](#): > > Don’t forget that Trump brags about being a baseball star in High School and being recruited for the majors (which appears to be at least partially true… Nah. [It’s bullshit](https://slate.com/culture/2020/05/donald-trump-baseball-high-school-nyma.html), just like everything else the drooling moron says. Here’s a quote from that article by Keith Law: > There’s no chance,” said Law, who once worked in the front office of the Toronto Blue Jays assessing high school players. “You don’t hit .138 for some podunk, cold-weather high school playing the worst competition you could possibly imagine. You wouldn’t even get recruited for Division I baseball programs, let alone by pro teams. That’s totally unthinkable. It’s absolutely laughable. He hit .138—he couldn’t fucking hit, that’s pretty clear. ---

I’d think the most likely reason is the baseball game conflicts with his tee time. ---

**Monty** , a while back you quoted me about my being pissed because Trump was still breathing. You said he’s also doing it, breathing, without a mask. I checked again and yep, he’s breathing. A few days ago he said it was “patriotic” to wear a mask, but he’s reversed himself, and I still haven’t seen him in a mask. Remember back three years ago during the total solar eclipse, when everyone was warned to not look at even a little sliver of the sun with the glasses? There was President Chump, shielding his eyes with his hand, looking at the sun. What an idiot.
