We're Accustomed To It

If you're anything like the Schloss-Blog, then you are as accustomed to Trump lying as I am accustomed to, dare I say, learning about people getting COVID during the pandemic, or hearing news of shootings at schools or finding Ticketmaster 's extra add-on charges on your concert ticket order.

It's incredible, but we don't jump out of our chairs anymore when we hear about any of this, unless it's cancer right in our own households or the price of tickets we just bought to a Coldplay show. Well, considering what's been happening at Coldplay shows, maybe Springsteen, huh? Or Taylor. Or maybe Queen B.

But when you think about what Trump is doing - sending the military into major metropolitan areas, and the uniformed soldiers just stay and residents just grow accustomed to them being there, it doesn't matter if the residents like it or not.

I mean, no one's talking about LA anymore, are they? Soon, they won't talk about D.C anymore, even though the action is overt and Trump has been forced to back off there somewhat.

And notice, please, he's talking about doing it more - Oakland, Baltimore, New York, Chicago. All Democratic run cities in Blue states.

That should be no surprise. 

Whatever he's doing, he wants you be accustomed to it, especially when he declares a state of emergency, even though there won't be a need for one, so he can stay in office indefinitely. 

He's going to do it. He can't run again, but he can appoint himself again.

Get used to it.

ESPN is about to put all of its content on its app so you can watch any of it all the time on your phone. Is that where all content is going, to the phone?

All of it? Is that where you watch?

Everything?

Give me my big screen, please.

Donald Trump went to Alaska.

He met a guy from Russia.

They agreed to agree to do ... nothing.

While the war in Ukraine may be settled where all wars are settled, at a negotiating table, this one doesn't appear as though that settlement will involve one of the combatants.

The one that was invaded by Russia.

If Donald Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize so much, how come he keeps facilitating the wars in Gaza and Ukraine?

Just sayin'.

America's Team - the Dallas Cowboys, right?

Then how come when I was in France all I saw was French people wearing New York Yankees hats?

I have pretty long hair - it's down past my shoulders.

So how come for women who have hair that long, it's just ... their hair?

"And Just Like That" is over. Final episode ... Carrie in her apartment in her heels.

The "Sex and the City" sequel, extension, whatever you want to call it, had its final episode.

It showed us that women in their 50s are still sexual, sexy, romantic, free spirited and have minds of their own.

Could that show have been based in Tennessee? Alabama? Wyoming? You get it...

The shooting last week at the CDC that killed one and was fired into six different buildings has left CDC employees feeling like the Trump administration has abandoned them in disdain over vaccinations. The shooting was allegedly performed by a man with deep-seated beliefs that the COVID-19 vaccine caused negative health effects.

For some.

But it saved millions.

Meanwhile, the CDC is at risk and so are its employees.

You go into a Target store in Austin, Tecas to buy detergent, milk, coffee and maybe pick a Starbucks while there.

You walk out dead.

Three people did.

Donald Trump's America is a bullet-riddled, open-carry Disneyland.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
