Now why do you think he did that?

Trump’s name has been removed from the Kennedy Center… we think
As MAGAts roam about Washington, DC today amidst all the hoopla for Donald Trump’s huge, giant UFC birthday party tomorrow, which he is using to desecrate the White House South lawn, his name has been removed from the Kennedy Center, thus making the city look a little less like Pyongyang.
Trump has been on a warpath to put his face and name all over Washington, DC. Banners hang in front of federal agencies, bearing his face as though he were Chairman Mao. One of the landmarks he was insistent upon desecrating is the Kennedy Center. (snip-MORE)

Courtside Celebrities
Did you suffer from courtside celebrity overload while watching the New York Knicks during the NBA finals?
There have always been celebrities courtside during basketball games for the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks. For other teams, like the Oklahoma City Thunder, not so much. New York and Los Angeles are homes to thousands of celebrities. No matter the sport, you’re going to see some celebrities. And the bigger the game, the more celebrities we will see. And when the New York Knicks hosted their first NBA finals since 1999 this week, there were dozens of celebrities in attendance.
Just off the top of my head, we saw Larry David, Jerry, Seinfeld, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, Taylor Swift, and of course, Spike Lee, who I believe is at every Knicks game, whether it’s important or not. Of course, some celebrities care more about being seen than they actually care about the game, and they end up falling asleep, like Donald Trump did last Tuesday night. Apparently, we traded Trump for Taylor Swift for Thursday’s game, which most would say is an upgrade. (snip-MORE)

This is a disgrace and people like Stephen Miller need to pay. Trump is destroying yet another moment of joy as World Cup is abused.

Trump nominates Todd Blanche as Attorney General of the United States
Retaliation and revenge will be Blanche’s main job
Pratts All, Folks
After reality TV star and “Crystal Daddy” Spencer Pratt’s home burned down in the Pacific Palisades fire last year, he sued the city of Los Angeles and the state of California. He traveled to Washington DC to meet with then-attorney general Pam Bondi to investigate LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom. One year to the date of the fire, he declared his candidacy to become mayor of Los Angeles.
For some reason, a guy who went broke twice from buying crystals believes he can manage a city with a $15 billion budget. But then again, Donald Trump is president, and he bankrupted casinos…and then added $17 trillion to our national debt.
Pratt is a Republican, and he was endorsed by Donald Trump, though the race was non-partisan. In addition to Pratt and Mayor Bass, there were 12 other candidates, including Nithya Raman. (snip-MORE)
MAGA Jinx
Everything Trump touches dies
Donald Trump went to Madison Square Garden to attend game three of the NBA finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, and just as my Saturday cartoon predicted, Trump fell asleep.
Trump falling asleep during the game proves that he didn’t really care about it. Trump did not go to the game because he loves the Knicks or New York City. Trump just wanted to steal the spotlight, even if it inconvenienced an entire city, shut down Midtown Manhattan, canceled watch parties outside MSG, and put vendors out of business for a night. Those in attendance had to get to the game at least two hours beforehand because of the security issues. The most important thing to Donald Trump is that Donald Trump got a headline. He also got a lot of boos. (snip-MORE)

—————————————————————————————————————————————
For me it is self harm. The constant pain my body is in and painful memories want me to cause the pain I can control, which releases endorphins, causing temporary easing of the mental torture I feel all the time now. But I don’t, and I won’t. Not now, not this minute, not this hour, not this day, not … as long as I can say not. I promised Randy back in 2014 I wouldn’t start doing it without telling him first. I have held to that promise. Hugs. Scottie

Isis, a Mudlark student-athlete, was taken by ICE earlier this year, and she’s now being released after much protest by fellow students, and this big local news story with national implications is being covered by … local podcaster Marty Moon, using the same iPhone camera streaming setup he uses to comment on high school golf? Honestly, I’ve never been more concerned about the health of the Milford media ecosystem.

Lies and Hissy Fits
A black female journalist stands up to a bully
Donald Trump had an interview with a national news network, and he got fact-checked. Obviously, this network was not Fox News, because it would typically allow him to lie unabated.
It was a wide-ranging interview with NBC News’s Kristen Welker that aired Sunday on Meet the Press, and ended abruptly in a hissy fit on his part. Trump claimed that the California gubernatorial primary is “rigged” in favor of Democrats. Instead of letting his lie slide by, Welker pushed back and pointed out that there is no evidence to his claim. Welker was professional and tried to move the interview forward after calling out his lie, but Trump would not let it go.
Trump has a tradition of castigating black female journalists, and he continued it with Welker, saying, “You’re either crooked or you’re stupid,” before ending the interview in a tantrum. (snip-MORE)
Got A Basketball Trump
I think I can speak for all NBA fans, especially those in New York City, when I say to Donald Trump, stay away.
It seems that Donald Trump wants to take something else away from the people and make it all about himself. This time, it’s the NBA finals.
The New York Knicks lead in the finals, 2-0, after defeating the Spurs in the first two games in San Antonio. Now, the series is headed to New York City, where it will resume on Monday night. Not only will there be thousands upon thousands of rabid New York fans waiting for them, but also Donald Trump.
The Knicks haven’t won an NBA Finals series since 1973, and fans are worried that Donald Trump’s presence will jinx their current run, where they have not lost in the last 12 games. The Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons on their way to meet the Spurs in the finals. The Spurs are supposed to be the better team, but no one has told the Knicks that yet.
Knicks owner James Dolan has invited Trump to attend Monday’s game at Madison Square Garden. Why would he do that? Is he stupid? (snip-MORE)
AI Versus Nepo Grifter Babies
Something needs to replace them
I considered taking the day off, but I have a hard time not working. I kind of sort of don’t know what to do with myself. So I drew something, but decided not to spend too much time on it.
I was thinking about artificial intelligence and how much I hate it. I really hate these people on social media who use AI to create cartoons. They suck. It annoys me that these people think that they are cartoonists. We all use AI, but I really hate that people are using it for their creative process. Lately, the word “slop” has been used with AI. I don’t know who was the first to use it that way, but it’s most appropriate. When it comes to art, there isn’t a lot of variety in styles with AI, which means that when you use it, it looks generic. I can usually tell when something has been created with AI. (snip-MORE)
