Random Monday Morning Thoughts




Ten years ago, Tony Romo threw three interceptions in an opening day loss.


  • This was the driver who crashed into a home in White Settlement killing a high school girl.  His blood alcohol concentration was barely over the legal limit (0.085) so his criminal case, while challenging, was certainly not a lost cause.


  • Story.


  • We had an escape and capture with barely any news coverage of it. 


  • When you are too big of a fascist for Dick Cheney, then you have gone full fascist.

     

  • Neo-Nazis were on the Granbury town square this weekend

  • The party of "small government" continues to confuse me.

  • Random weird story.


  • Trump craziness over the weekend:
    • On Friday, he decided to oddly rant about, and call attention to,  the E. Jean Carroll verdict where he was found liable for sexually assaulting her. I don't know which was my favorite part: (1) being flanked by his lawyers while he said he was “disappointed in my legal talent to he honest with you” (video), or (2) him telling a story of unnamed woman who said he had sexually assaulted her on a plane -- saying he didn't do it because "she was not the chosen one." (video.)

    • On preparing for concentration camps and rounding up illegal immigrants: "Getting them out will be a bloody story." Video.
    • Weird post.

    • Weird NFL post (and proof he hasn't watched an NFL game in years.) 

    • He spent multiple posts claiming the upcoming election will be stolen and threatening to jail "donors" to Kamala Harris.


    • He made reference to Hannibal Lector again. Video.
  • Ted Cruz showed up to watch the final of the U.S. Open and the American lost. The Ted Cruz Curse continues. 

  • Let her out.  It was a 10 year sentence and she is "eligible" for parole after serving 1/2 of that sentence.

  • Barely makes headlines: A guy open fires from "three different perches" alongside a Kentucky highway on Saturday night and seriously injured five. He's on the run.
