He tried to use the U.S. ambassador to the UK to get the British Open to come to one of his money-losing golf clubs: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/world/europe/trump-british-open.html?fbclid=IwAR0cegCAO2ftaQPC4qoC1An9HSFUBLpdZjOXGPTR-UtFqanon1E6L_gjOqU
As with so much of the rest of the White House news these days: appalling and unsurprising.
Please, please, please, please let this be yet another one of his many, many lies.
President Trump says MLB is “setting an example” on how to properly reopen by playing in empty stadiums, adding, “[President of the New York Yankees] Randy Levine … asked me to throw out the first pitch. And I think I’m doing that on August 15th.”
If this happens, I may have to swear off of baseball for the next decade, or even worse, root for the Red Sox.
The only first pitch that really counts is the one by Dr. Fauci.
Any bets on whether the ball makes it to the plate?
Well, Dr. Fauci made a good effort. I heard he has trouble with that arm. But as AP reporter Jonathan Lemire pointed out, he was successful at flattening the curve.
My favorite part of that game was how all the players took a knee before it got underway.
Maybe they should take a knee while he’s throwing.
(Nah, he’ll probably just think they’re bowing to him.)
Hopefully word will spread that the Yanks plan on taking a knee when he’s on the mound. Maybe that will convince the scumbag to fuck off somewhere else.
I’d rather they turn their backs to him.
What I’m really, really hoping is to read a press release today from the Yankees saying that no such conversation took place. It’s not above CFSG to say something like this to plant a seed and finagle his way into it, especially after Fauci’s spotlight.
Uh, “CFSG”?
Usually that’s “Cheeto-Faced Shit Gibbon”, I think.
Ah, thanks. Hard to keep track of all his nicknames. Funny that one hasn’t stuck and gained universal usage, like “Tricky Dick” or “Silent Cal.”
There’s plenty of time for the history books to be written.
And his nibs has so many bad traits it’s hard to focus on just one.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Yes. My understanding is that it originated in Scotland, where he landed shortly after the Brexit vote. He started heaping praise on the UK for passing Brexit, and someone in the crowd shouted, “Scotland voted no, ya ….”
They oughta find that person and give them a Nobel Prize.
They ought to give that person the Noble Prize. Heck, that person should be the very first person on the planet ot receivve the Noble Prize! I suggest the ceremony be held directly across the street from any of the buildings with the twerp-in-chief’s name on it.
