‘Go’ without me

I guess I'm just too old to understand or get wrapped up in this new Pokemon Go game craze.

Some contrast

Seth Brown posts a joke about a “redneck bomb” and activists want him fired. Isaiah Crowell posts an image of a cop having his throat slashed. If that doesn't deserve being fired, then what does?

Blame The Hill

The president doesn’t cut Social Security. That honor belongs to our hateful Republican House and Senate, who don’t care that old people die without adequate food and medicine.

Greatness preview

Donald Trump sues a former campaign worker for $10 million. Is this another example of how Trump will "make America great again" or of Trump's inflated ego?

Rope-A-Dope

Loretta Lynch's game plan clearly was to misuse the "five minute rule" and to talk a lot but say nothing as the clock ticked on. Sorry, time's up. No time for further questions.

Case in point

Seen in Mohina Woods: Two recycling containers and one trash can at the curb of one home. Recycling works.

Aftermath

Hillary brags in an ad that she "took on Putin." Ask Ukraine how well that "reset" button worked.

Get serious

Obama, you are in your own little dream world. The American citizens are as divided as we think. Welcome to reality.
