The camera work in the men's final was awful....they cut to the wives a couple of times and the serve and return happened while the camera was on them...they showed Anderson's shoes and the dirt a couple of times while the serve went off. It's like, OK he has blisters. It's not like you're showing his actual feet, it's just his damn dirty shoes. A couple of points from the side angle....like, LEAVE the camera from the back/end view and STAHHHHP it.

The way Joker and Nadal are hitting - the men's final (I'll call it now) will be a snoozer. The other semi was a yawner. 2 tall guys serving the ball. Whoever wins this other semi will run Anderson around like a Golden Retriever and both are better returners. He might have gotten through Federer, but I think Joker or Nadal will hit him off the court. If the point starts, it will be over. I've said for years if it gets to 10-10 in the last set, you go to tie break. Each player will have served 4 more times, received 4 more times and you had the opportunity to do something. End it.

Before Wimbledon started I said to someone when we were talking about the Serena ranking, what's fair, what will happen with her play, is she ready, etc. etc. I said, yeah I think we're going to look back when the end of the tournament comes and find it funny that we wondered if any of that stuff matters. In her semi today when Goerges broke and kinda did a little fist pump I said, "yep sweetie, good for you but you're about to lose this semi on your serve. Ya better start thinking about your serve." And buh bye.

This Wimbledon has kind of been boring for me...the women's side hasn't really had any good matches to me. I hope the final is decent. The men's side, blah. I keep waiting for the typical "Isner fizzle". Looks like it's going to be Nadal's to lose now although I do think if Anderson plays well he can beat him.

Isner is so pathetic. He might be a tennis player but he's a tennis player that doesn't play tennis. He serves and that's it. I keep saying to friends - if the point starts, it's over for him. He'd be better off treating both serves as a first serves and just go for aces on both because if he gets a return back at him, the point will be over for him.

+1 I said to myself after the semis - well, it was a blood bath for the women, but I guess in the end, ya know what? #1 and #2 came through...

These types of homophobic straight guys always crack me up. Like he was in such danger in a gay bar. Yeah, you stumbled into a gay bar where....no one noticed you because you were undoubtedly the ugliest guy and worst dressed in there. They think because they're straight every gay guy wants them. So silly and ignorant. Look in the mirror hun, you're not hot. You're safe as can be.

He believes in fake news. I'm so tired of these people. Actually I believe in the fake news that he'll actually be a player that lasts or does anything in the future. This will be a one shot deal, and the only way it isn't is if some of the other players stay injured.

Meghan McCain is horrible. A couple of weeks ago when someone brought up the fact that Donald's father basically died of Dementia, she said, "Oh, so you're a doctor now? My Dad has Cancer so that means I'm going to die of Cancer?" No honey, but if you showed the symptoms it wouldn't be a big jump to diagnose your symptoms. (My input as a poster). The other day when a broken family told their story - an "illegal" Dad had been deported but had paid taxes in this country for decades, and the family is now separated with 2 crying children....she wasn't sorry. She gave no words of solace, she made no comment and sat there with her stone cold cracked face. I want to like the McCain's...but I cannot with them. They play that political violin to perfection - she can go.

For figure skating fans
I kind of have a completely different opinion about Ashley Wagner now. There is always going to be a passing of the guard, and she knows she competes in a judged competition. There's alot unfairness sometimes all the way around, and that's just how it goes. Not in any single interview did I see a reporter or host (in regard to her *itch fest about her scoring) - I didn't see a single person bring up the fact....hun, you didn't make the team the last time, and if they went by the scores you were left off. But that committee at that time voted to put you on there instead of Nagasu and that left her on the outside looking in. But I'm sure you loved that they voted you on instead, and alot of people thought that was unfair. I don't remember if she was sick and just didn't compete or if it was an injury, but they were betting you would be ready even though you didn't skate. So stop with the unfairness this time around.

Like Ollie North. Who lied about something much bigger for the sake of the President's direction. Then they backtracked and Reagan's answer under questioning was "I do not recall". He had Alzheimers long before he actually got it. Ollie did the bidding of a President even though it was a lie. Some Doctor is now doing the bidding of a President who is White Fat Albert to lie about his weight.

#Girthermovement #Girther How much do you pay a doctor today to lie? If that man is 239 pounds then I'm the queen of England. I'm 5'8 and 179. There is no way he is that much taller than me and weighs only 60 pounds more than me. No way. But, he owned Miss Universe so of course he would pay someone to lie about his weight - for trhe Swimsuit competition.

Just catching up - I didn't see the first couple of rounds.....what the Hel* happened to the U.S. women? It's like as soon as some of the newbies take a step forward they follow it up with 3 steps backwards...

I've unfriended so many people. Conservatives. When I argue with them - they just say "We're confused why you're so angry that Hillary didn't win? Why are you mad/angry"? I'm like. I don't give a freakin *UCK about Hillary. I really DON'T. I'm angry because you're STUPID. This has become a reality series and it's MY country. I have never seen anything like Donald Trump. There should be NO way Twitter should be a way of a President of communicating.

I'm afraid. Even truth is too late. It's too late. I'm seriously scared and afraid. The toothless white rednecks will come out and vote for Gillespie, and that's coming from a Gay White Redneck. They speak in small sentences and it resonates with them and they don't get a bigger picture other than the hope of a $500 tax refund.

Virginia's Governor's race is at stake...Donna Brazile can go screw herself. Not a fan anymore. She is wrecking us....she could have made a statement at any time and chose to do it right before this election. She could have done it, if she knew it - MONTHS ago. Chose to do it now. To me - she's not a Democrat, she's a opportunist. This race is tightening, Northam will probably lose, and I blame her. Hope she loves her life when Republicans rule the South, North and all over. Go Donna. You did a great job. Now I'll be accused of attacking a woman. As a Gay Male, I'll be accused of attacking a woman. She stinks. Apparently she wanted to be the new Comey and announce it right before an election and then claim stupidity, and harm, and sadness, etc. etc. etc. Whatever honey.

I know people hate the American Men - Sam Querry. but my God - Someone tell Kevin Anderson to get some sunblock. I have never even heard of him, looked him up and he's only 30? I would have thought he was 42 years old. I haven't taken care of myself and I'm 47 and I look better than him. Jesus. SPF, Kevin. Find it.

With Keys I'm always waiting for her to do the Lindsay-kicking-the-tennis-ball around thing, then you know she's done. I'm honestly not sure if Lindsay is the best coach for her but she does seem to be doing better this time around. It would be nice to see a couple of the U.S. players make it through another round...excited but anxious. I'm always so negative, waiting for the big flop to happen. All 4 have been playing pretty well...I've been very surprised by Coco - this next matchup will likely be the end for her but we'll see.

We should start a pool on how long it is before we're at war with North Korea. It's the Right's only choice at this point - they have to get the flags waving and the Bibles thumping

The way things have gone thus far - I think Kelly is tough, but will try to save face as long as he can. Won't want to be a quitter. But, I think if his advice isn't being heeded (it won't, because Dump isn't smart enough to listen to anyone) - I think I give it...2 months. But - It depends on whether there's a war or not - there probably will be. If there's a war, he'll be there for - I say the tenure of the Presidency.
