If lying during a campaign or while in office was grounds for prison time…

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

I’m sure it will help some people, but 4:00 is going to put it right in the middle of commute time for a lot of people. That feels like the worst possible slot to me.

Seriously though, how disastrously awful is it that MLB can’t guarantee a start time for this game until like midnight tonight? Bad for players, bad for fans.

The oppo taco ads are maddening, although I will note most of the ads I hear are for Geico or Mountain Dew.

I wrote about this a few months ago. You have to scroll down a bit to get to the part about the MLB app. I think it is a righteous rant.
