There are two schools of thought, two religions and two sides to any argument taking place in Alabama. One of them involves the Tide, a semi-professional football team masquerading as an entity involved with a major university. In fact, every issue above involves the Tide, be it faith, argument or thought.
So, when many fans of the Red Tide were worried about Trump disrupting their Bowl game, things actually got far worse.
Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump was on hand for the highly-anticipated battle between the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. . . . Fans have now even begun saying that the president cursed their favorite team.
With Heisman Trophy contender Tua Tagovailoa struggling to move the offense early, there were initial concerns about the team dealing with karmic repercussions after cheering for a divisive figure in Trump. These cries only increased as the game progressed.
With this loss at home, the Crimson Tide saw the end of a 31-game streak come to an end after four years. For many fans, this was only the latest sign of the "Trump Curse."
Hmm. Ok. I understand that college-semi-pro football is an essential activity, intended to aid and assist the general public during this international emergency.
It is sad to report that our first Commercial, independent, and wonderful effort to reach the skies, in human, not silica, titanium, copper, or steel form, was cancelled this afternoon.
1:23 PM PT -- Elon is going to have to wait a little longer for his company to make history ... SpaceX says Wednesday's launch is OFF due to "unfavorable weather in the flight path."
SpaceX pulled the plug minutes before the rocket carrying astronauts to the ISS was about to blast off from Florida ... and the next launch is tentatively scheduled for Saturday at 3:22 PM ET.
The tweets ever since have been great. “Trump Jinxed it”
”He did it again, signed, Tide fan” and more.
Considering how every single thing he touched before, has not just failed, but imploded like a suicidal Black Hole, this is no surprise. Nor is the insistence by nasty North Carolina Governor who insists they have to follow protocol. The RNC is chafing at the demand that they follow stringent no contact rules, or no national conference. Actually, I suspect the RNC and others aren’t exactly dying to go during COVID. This is all Trump.
Given the Tide, given the SpaceX today, can you imagine what carnage will follow a North Carolina Republican Convention attended by Trump?
I just hope we don’t reach critical mass, defined as either:
a. The number of church attendees needed gather closely so as to eventually cull the herd of southern, Trumpian, racist, fascist, demented, bible-beating hippo-critters;
b. The minimum amount of radioactive material necessary to cause the energetic, even exponential decay of particles, causing a chain reaction that can lead to an atomic or nuclear detonation;
c. The amount I must lose, post-COVID, to fit into my favorite jeans;
d. An excess amount of horny GOP conventioneers, searching in vain for any hooker in the storm, unaware that the United Affiliation of Prostitutes, Whores, and Hookers decided to boycott the convention in protest of Trumpian cuts to ObamaCare; or,
e. A mega-church leader, who instead of seeking a new, bigger, personal jet plane, sees the light and admits he was nothing but a scam artist.
That critical mass would be the one I want to attend.
Remember Carolyn. :)
