They say there’s a first time for everything. Well, today is a first for me.

I’m one of those social freaks who isn’t into big sports; don’t watch the games, don’t follow any players, don’t put team logos on my car, and don’t buy their gear (although I did once buy a team shirt from Goodwill for a white elephant gift exchange). That record was cracked today.

For the first time in my life, I bought a brand new sports team shirt. It’s red, it has a big number 7, and the name on the back is Kaepernik. I’ll wear it proudly. I’d kneel with him if my old knees would let me, so I’ll stand with him instead.

It’s also been said that change is the only permanence. But don’t be looking for me to make a habit of the sports thing, ain’t gonna happen.

For example:

Do we have to let Trump stupid us into a war with North Korea?


(I couldn't find a tonge-in-cheek smilie, or I would have put it here)

We don't dare stop calling or emailing our senators until the thing is dead and buried. McCain could change his mind, McConnell could armtwist Paul or Collins. This is NOT the time for us to stand down. Not yet.

Maddow just used that word to describe the Trump family and administration.

Poifict.
