What’s Important
Oh y’all. He has a desk.
Under the topic of “Will Always Remain the Cleveland Indians To Me …”
“Anybody who changes the name of the ‘storied’ Cleveland Indians (from 1916), an original baseball franchise, to the Cleveland Guardians, is not fit to serve in the United States Senate.”
Trump’s unadorned candidate in the Ohio Republican primary is Matt Dolan. His family owns Cleveland’s baseball team.
I have no idea why storied is in quotation marks.
What an “idiot!” Sorry to repeat myself so often.
If I didn’t have so much emotionally invested in this year’s elections, I would find them intellectually fascinating. As it is, the Rethug primaries will have to do. Will the Orange Moron’s endorsements prevail? Or, will he lose bigly? If the later, will that finally throw a spanner into the works of the Congressional Rethugs? It would almost too much fun.
1Better to change the name and still be in business. Rather than go bankrupt.
2Saying “storied” (w/ punctuation) Cleveland reminds me of the classic movie, Major League. The team’s gotten a bit better since then, but not startlingly so.
3Yes, only the most important things come across TFFG’s desk. Maybe some best wishes/communiques from putin and other dictators, mike lindell and the like, but no subpoenas allowed.
4I read some of the comments from the desk link. Interestingly, one of them has
“Louis Sockalexis, the Deerfoot of the Diamond, played professional baseball in the National League for three seasons (1897-1899), spending his entire career as an outfielder with the Cleveland Spiders. The name change from the Cleveland Naps to the Cleveland Indians in 1915 is attributed to a desire to honor Sockalexis.”
So why isn’t that desk posting that the name will always be the Spiders to him? Although you gotta admit that the “Cleveland Naps” is also a rousing name. And can we now always start referring to T**** as “that desk”? The latter definitely has more brains than the former.
5The Surly Professor @5, to be honest paperwork is my kryptonite. If not for Jane, a great secretarial assistant, and direct deposit I would be homeless and living in a box. So as you might extrapolate time at my desk is not the favorite part of my work life. But. I must defend the desk.
And. I must protest your proposal to refer to TFG as a desk. As much as I hate my time wasted at a desk, the desk does serve a purpose. Donald John tRump? He nevuh has had a purpose, until Morton C. Blackwell and Putin determined that with proper ego massages he could be an unwitting tool for their nefarious purposes.
6The reason storied is in quotation marks is Trump is soooo proud of himself, and wants the world to know, that he had his ‘big boy’ pants on and used a grown up word in a sentence. ‘storied’
7Has anybody been able to trace the inventory number of Trump’s desk to the Oval Office? Perhaps he considered it a gift?
