"In court."
"Yeah."
"You want to buy a Tower Records, Eduardo?"

@AZSportsHistory You gotta be an old head to remember when Al was behind the mic for the WHL Roadrunners. They outdrew the Suns in the early 70s, especially on weekends. 10,000+ at the Madhouse on a Saturday night, cheering on the Go-Go Line...Larry Lund, Andre Hinse and Frankie Hughes!

6/21/72 - KTAR radio hired Al McCoy to call Phoenix #Suns games beginning in '72-73, replacing Joe McConnell who had called the Suns for 2yrs. McCoy was well-known in the Valley since 1957, & had previously been the voice of the Phoenix #Roadrunners hockey and #Giants baseball.

@Notwokenow Hey all you shit for brains MAGA idiots. There are no reflecting pool vandals. No one pulled up the surface coating. It's just poor workmanship by one of your grifting MAGA elite.

[Chuckers1 @Chuckers1]

@GuntherEagleman Trump’s ego is so fragile and he is such a weak man that he is propagating a “save the steal” type deception to avoid having to take the “L” on the reflecting pool.

[The Real techno tupac @techno__tupac]

@AwakenedOutlaw Lol you believe the reflecting pool was " vandalized" lolololol

[Jasper Disco @I_am_Superbro]

@SethAbramson 🚨 BREAKING 🚨

The police have just released a photo of the criminal responsible for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool!

Still tuned in for more breaking news coverage!

#smokefleet has to ignore the schlepp that has become the WH. But! When #smokerise joins in, we laugh really hard at Donald and his favorite obese pool guy. The reflecting pool and the arrests are DumB.

[Donson @Donson525025399]

Never has Trump's inability to admit his mistakes or weaknesses been more obvious than now, watching him have ppl arrested for touching pieces of paint, accusing "the left" of sabotaging the reflecting pool. He's lying right in everyone's faces, and threatening to send people to jail for "a long time" for something that they aren't guilty of. It's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but the point is every bit of this is happening in front of our eyes! What does it take for people to see that this guy is dangerous- not because he's Republican, because he has a personality disorder that is not commensurate with being the potus! He continually denigrates an entire half of this country, day after day. He badmouths and lies about other world leaders. It's insane-quite literally.

So to think that he would go to even greater lengths to keep any evidence that he either committed a crime or was aware of crimes being committed is not a stretch!
The files need to be released in full, unredacted except for victims, and every Republican, Democrat, movie star, royal, athlete,millionaire, billionaire, man, and woman who took part in Epstein's child trafficking should be prosecuted. Period.

Facts

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

In 1884, Ulysses S. Grant was dying of throat cancer and was dead broke.

His money was wiped out by a swindler who stole his fortune.

Desperate to leave something for his wife, he agreed to write his Civil War memoirs and was close to signing a contract for a meager 10% royalty.

Mark Twain stepped in, called the deal robbery and offered Grant 70% of the profits through his own publishing company.

Grant raced death to finish the book, completing it just days before he died in July 1885.

It became one of the greatest memoirs ever written.

The royalties left his widow nearly half a million dollars, about $16 million today, and the book has never gone out of print.

I remember the first time I rode that elevator up to the newsroom. April 1973. Haven't worked anywhere else since that day.
