It's Like Getting Stuck In a Perpetual Tailgate Party in Louisiana


And there's a bum with an orange pompadour  in a lawn chair haranguing everyone who approaches to chow down on a bone with some greasy gristle and barbecue sauce. An endless nightmare.

Yesterday, Donny Bob had a gnaw on quarterback Colin Kaepernik who chooses to kneel rather than stand for the playing of America's national anthem. Trump even called him a "son of a bitch." Very presidential, Donny Bob. Then he attacked the entire league, the N Effing L, for being a bunch of sissies over the concussive brain injury issue. Real, red-blooded Americans, said Donny Bob, pay good money to see brains scrambled on the playing field.

Today's targets are that place where all those other rich black folks hang out, the NBA. And, of course, that lily-livered pinko, Arizona senator John McCain. Trump began with a tweet slamming Stephen Curry of the champion Golden State Warriors. Curry said he didn't think he would accept the invitation to visit the White House. Trump lashed back by purportedly cancelling the invitation Curry had already declined.

Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!

LeBron James wasted no time coming after Trump with his own tweet. James called Trump a "bum."

U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!— LeBron James (@KingJames) September 23, 2017

Meanwhile NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, pushed back against Trump's angry rhetoric.

In a sharply worded response that didn't mention Trump by name, Goodell said the remarks "demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities."

Goodell added that the league and its players "are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture."

Hmmm, did Roger use the word "culture." Maybe he doesn't realize that in TrumpLand that's code for white supremacy. 

Well, that's quite a day's work. Now Trump has a good chunk of the NFL roster and probably most if not all of the NBA roster gunning for him.

Donny Bob seems to be increasingly retreating to his safe ground, the Slave States of the Deep South. With his dog whistle rhetoric precisely tuned to the racist ear it raises the question if he's trying to spark a major race incident to congeal his greasy base as Mueller and his all star team of sleuths steadily close in.
