D.B.'s of the Week - Trump, Baker and Obama
We have three D.B.'s of the week.
Let's sort it out...you can make your own decision as to who deserved the award.
1). Dusty Baker:
I'm a huge baseball fan. We all know that. Yet baseball is not free of idiotic people. Just because you can throw a ball 104 mph doesn't mean you don't act like an idiot sometimes.
There is an allegation out there against Aroldis Chapman, the great pitcher for the Reds. It seems that Chapman is under investigation for the alleged choking of his wife, or girlfriend. He then allegedly discharged about a dozen bullets in his garage. The fight was not reported to MLB until Chapman was nearly traded to the Dodgers.
When the news of the alleged beat-down hit the wire people got in line to talk about it. Dusty Baker, who has been around baseball for 40-some years chimed in by saying that "not all abusers wear pants" which means that the woman in the Chapman choking situation was somewhat to blame for the event.
That's a D.B. move.
Yet Baker couldn't simply win the award, although he and Chapman both deserved it...
...because.
2). Obama
We had reactions to the shooting in California by radicals.
Obama, who has to try and keep an even keel, got on television and asked Americans to show tolerance to the Muslim population.
That might actually be the right move, but I am tossing a D.B. in the President's direction because...can't we get a little mad after an event like that?
Do all we ever get after such an event - which is akin to a declaration of war - is a speech about tolerance?
People are pissed.
At least condemn the action and talk about how there is some suspicion there.
Geez.
I'm all for tolerance, but preaching a peaceful pose isn't always the move.
Yet.
3). Trump
I can't even begin to acknowledge Trump's response.
Mexicans are rapists.
Muslims are murderers.
It's simply not that simple, simpleton.
We didn't hear a single thing about banning white guys after the other 300 mass shootings conducted by white terror people.
You can't paint an entire race of people...or an entire religion with the same brush.
You just can't.
You can't change the constitution to fit your needs either.
Remember the 2nd amendment?
That one can't be touched, right - well neither can the first amendment.
It smacks of rounding up the Jewish people in Germany or putting the Japanese Americans in camps during World War II.
Perhaps that might be the answer...but Trump is really abrasive to millions of sensible people.
And at the same time he's a trash-talking hero to millions of others.
All of this is so mind-boggling to me...
...that I can't even decide who the biggest D.B. of the Week is.
What do you decide?
