The Top 10 Reasons Donald Trump Is Refusing to Throw Out the First Pitch of Baseball Season


These are the top 10 reasons Donald Trump is refusing to throw out the first pitch of the Nationals' baseball season.

10. Gesture would implicitly condone actions of Cuban players who helped Ted Cruz's dad shoot President Kennedy in the head

9. Hands too small, can't grab ball

8. Unclear where ball should be grabbed anyway given that it doesn't have a (fill in the blank)

7. Players are too old and too male to make for good locker-room sleazeball creeping

6. Upset that Obama beat out Mike Trout for ISIS MVP award despite worse advanced stats

5. Disappointed when someone told him there are no Trump University alums playing in the game because Trump University didn't have a baseball team and was, in fact, a high-pressure sales scam rather than a real institution of higher learning

4. Presence of actual, complete, non-imaginary wall in outfield makes him jealous

3. Can't sleep because he keeps seeing this on the inside of his eyelids every time he tries to get even a moment's peace. By God, her visage haunts his very dreams

2. Would probably be booed mercilessly given that he has an extremely low approval rating and would be appearing in a city in which he only got four percent of the vote anyway

1. Still upset about 1947 integration of the major leagues

Thanks for reading! Number two is probably the real reason. Also number one.

So just what is this "clean coal"

trump keeps speaking of? I'm all for "clean coal" if it doesn't cover the faces and lungs of the miners of such "clean" substances, if it makes our atmosphere "cleaner", etc...and how many jobs does this "clean coal" bring back and to what cost?

Oh, and another thing, when is trump bringing his "not made in the USA" brands TO the US...not...one...word...ever!

Quote from Mnuchin...

“This guy’s got more stamina than anybody I’ve ever met,” Mnuchin said of Trump. “I mean, I thought I was in good shape, but I travel with him all the time. It’s unbelievable. He’s constantly doing things.”

Ok, first of all, "things"???

Secondly, if any of these "things" have to do with his tiny hands I want no part of it, who knows what deplorable areas they've grabbed....

Why are Americans so resistant to Universal Healthcare?

when it's in their best interest on all counts...so my taxes pay for a little boy to get a heart transplant in Oklahoma or pays for lifesaving heart meds for a woman in Florida? It's called being a fucking human being...

I just don't understand why this is such a difficult concept...pathetic and sad...

Happy Sunday!
