Today the president, Donald Trump, got back on his plane, Air Force One

Let’s not forget that the GOP’s candidates lost the popular vote in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2016. 

I have to think the Orioles are somehow involved. For about 30 years they were DC’s team.

Lukewarm take: A Sense of Where You Are and Levels of the Game (both by John McPhee, both first published in The New Yorker) are the two finest sports profiles written by a non-sportswriter and appearing in a non-sports publication.

My best guess: Local government issues the permits and would coordinate road closures. Local police would be involved in directing traffic and being on hand in case of emergencies during the event. If there was any violence state police would likely be involved.

The O’s are historically shitty? Fuck, man. Three world series isn’t shitty. Remember that in the decades between the Senators departure to Texas and the arrival of the Nationals the Orioles had Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray & Earl Weaver.

this is like something a freshman in a Creative Writing class would put together.

How’s this? In college Heavyweight wrestlers must weigh between 183 pounds and 285 pounds. Trump would dominate at Heavyweight despite being on the small side. 

He just has to weigh in

He’s a middle school kid in an adult body.

Freedom tubes. So hot.

Come on, everybody knows kids need three servings of vegetables a day. As Reagan knew potato chips and a hot dog with ketchup and relish does the job just fine.

It’s a bit old but the PBS documentary “In the White Man’s Image” is a very good introduction to Native American Boarding Schools.
