What did she say to him?
"You're going to draw a double team on the wing, leaving KD and LeBron open. You're *not* going to pass the ball. I repeat, you're not going to pass the ball. Instead, here's what I want you to do: you're going rainbow that shit for the golden dagger. Got it? Now repeat it back."

Okay Nauts.... I've been thinking about the debate last night. And only commenting after watching Biden's NC rally.
I have worked on four campaigns, helped prep 2 candidates for debates. Biden's team over-prepared him. Instead of letting him be Uncle Joe, they tried to turn him into a databank. With that idiot next to him, without moderators helping with fact checks, he didn't need those statistics.
We needed Uncle Joe. Even with the cold and acid reflux.
Just Joe.
I'm with Biden.
It's Memorial Day. Hug a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine today. And get to know them if you can.
This weekend I was moved to write down my thoughts about being a Veteran transitioning to civilian life.

I've loved this tune since I first heard it a few years ago. I think it's the song of our decade; perfectly capturing the time in which we live.

Does it strike anyone else that our nation is gripped in fear?
Where are the challengers to Biden nostalgia?
Where are the brash, young leaders beckoning to a new path?
The so-called leaders of both political parties are, apparently, afraid to speak; afraid to step out; fearful of losing.
Poll after poll screams at us that there should be a better choice.
Well, I"m deeply disappointed and dismayed that Biden has backed off this initial step forward.
It seems to me the world is falling into step in opposing the immoral, destructive actions of the Israeli govt.
While 81 yo Biden is stuck in the past and moving toward blowing up his own reelection.
Of course it's the rest of us that will suffer the most.
Opposing the Netanyahu govt. is not anti-semitism.

Well, Nikki, there’s some good news despite your bad news day: Stockholm Syndrome is now covered by Obamacare.
Finally, we get a really hopeful sign from the President. Until now, I've been sickened by his talk that seems to me to equate anti semitism with outrage over the slaughter of Palestinians.
If this latest pronouncement forces Netanyahu to stand down, it's a very good thing.
Yes, it's way late, but still a good thing.

Why is the Judge coddling Trump? If he acts like a 6 yo, he should be treated like a 6 yo.
"I don’t want to embarrass him,” Merchan said. 😲
I'm so sick of our criminal justice system giving this clown unfair privilege.

I'm feeling philosophical today. 🤔
Behold, a little light is shining in the darkness. I trust there are others hidden from view, who may also find the courage to shine.
And as the light grows a path leading up and out of the cave becomes visible.
We are witnessing our criminal justice system abandoning its credo that "no one is above the law". Instead they have yielded to political influence and personal fame.
It's shameful how Trump is allowed to manipulate everyone and everything.

The media are bending backward and turning into pretzels to avoid the elephant in the room.
But when the history of this time is written, it will say Trump was held above the law. He was allowed to corrupt his NY State trial by lying and pressuring witnesses, jurors and court officials in flagrant violation of normal procedures and the judge's written orders.

Good morning CoSo!
I hope that everyone has a most beautiful day! 💛 🙏 ✨
I just finished "Unfrosted" on Netflix. It has a fabulous cast. Started off clever, imaginative, and very funny.
But the jokes got progressively worse, in poor taste, and just plain stupid.
The deal breaker for me was trying to do a parody of the Jan. 6th attack on the Capital as an assault of Kellogg HQ by breakfast cereal mascots. 👎
