Per Michael Cohen, why should you vote against Trump?

Because, you’re a nation

You aren’t even his favorite people.
He likes Europeans.

Trump Is The Main Reason We Won't Have College Football


Let me apologize for this website. It’s a jumpy mess but the article is pretty good as well as others.

As usual, the idiot in the Oval is clueless to what’s going on, as Lawrence’s original tweet was a unified statement from players like Ohio State’s Justin Fields, Oklahoma State RB Chuba Hubbard, and others informing the world that they indeed want to play this season, but with caveats.


Because Trump and his cronies are the ill-equipped culprits in the mismanagement of a virus that has killed over 164,000 Americans. To no one’s surprise, the same man that fed the sport’s national champions fast food, wants them to play during a pandemic, without a plan, as the virus is causing some in the sport to have myocarditis, a lethal heart disease.

On Sunday, Slate released a report that “documents Trump’s interference or negligence in every stage of the government’s failure: preparation, mobilization, public communication, testing, mitigation, and reopening,” when it comes to how this administration has failed America, and consequently college football, when it comes to the coronavirus.


Saturdays in the fall are an American religion, but we’re stuck with a cultural atheist in the White House. It’s why I’m proposing that we treat this upcoming Election Day as if it was the College Football National Championship Game.

DeSantis (Florida-🚹 ) compares opening schools to getting Bin Laden

FACT CHECK: DeSantis Incorrectly Babbles About Navy SEALS, Osama Bin Laden

https://bocanewsnow.com/2020/08/13/fact-check-desantis-incorrectly-babbles-about-navy-seals-osama-bin-laden/



BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ Wednesday night address is largely being panned nationwide. At issue: his comparison of Martin County opening schools to an operation by Navy Seals. Navy Seals are highly trained warriors who operate using plans and intelligence. DeSantis’ idea of an intelligent plan is forcing Florida schools to open in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic or incur a massive reduction in state education funds.

Here’s the text of DeSantis’ speech getting attention:

“Martin County Superintendent Laurie Gaylord told me she viewed re-opening her schools as a mission akin to a Navy SEAL operation. Just as the SEALs surmounted obstacles to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, so too would the Martin County School system find a way to provide parents with a meaningful choice of in-person instruction or continued distance learning.”

“I would caution decision makers to understand the value – but also the limitations – of some of the data that gets published.”

DeSantis’ televised address ran simultaneously to a Palm Beach County School Board meeting in which members stated they felt forced to open for in-person learning promptly — fearing DeSantis would withhold hundreds of thousands of dollars in education funds.

Hold it! Kamala Harris is AKA?!?!!

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority

I learned early on in my working experience that you want to be friends with AKA. Any new job I’ve started, as I’ve been introduced around the office I always look for the salmon pink and apple green. If they are AKA, it will be on display in some way.

I guess I’d missed this earlier on. This is a big ____ deal as Joe once said himself.

I’ve worked with several AKA members and had good relationships with them. I don’t tend to have bad workplace relationships anyway. It’s really nice to have them on your side. The wind at your back. I saw some unfortunate souls get into it with an AKA member and their experience was not only bad but didn’t last long.

AKA????
if you don’t think this had something to do with the pick you are crazy. Marshaling AKA’s power is a GIANT plus.

Loyal customer. 'MURKA!

No masks.
No distancing.
Bare feet.
