The kid on the Gopher basketball team I pull for hardest—twisting in my chair, trying to alter the arc of his 3-point attempts—is Gabe Kalscheur. His shooting woes get all the attention. Watch him when the Gophers don't have the ball. He will guard you. Also, he's a good rebounder for his size, plays a nice floor game, more assists than turnovers, makes his foul shots: really a solid player. If he started shooting it a little straighter, so that the price for surrounding Marcus Carr wasn't bargain basement—I feel we might already be among the better teams in the country's best league, and that would make us better.
Listening to Trump's last tape as I type this. It's around the 80th time he's "shot someone on Fifth Avenue." I need 12,000 votes, Brad. What are you gonna do about it, Brad? Why Brad doesn't tell him to stfu and stop criming is beyond me. Obviously it could be worse. The people on both ends of the call could be corrupt. But then there would be no reason for the call. Might be our future.
Who's the second most despicable person in the country? Josh Hawley coming up on the outside, but Ted Cruz, who won't stand up for his dad or his wife (or America), is holding him off for now. Then there's Marco Rubio, tweeting Bible verses while Trump sprays lighter fluid on everything. Mark Meadows is a flunky. Mike Pence is alternately a national joke and a national emetic. Ron Johnson, the senator from Wisconsin—an up-and-comer, for sure. The president's offspring are repugnant.
It'll be easier to judge in three years when they're together in one place, campaigning for president.
