WCS 48: Leon Lett was a Dallas Cowboy
w/: Gabby Williams + Newsom's hemp failure + Bo Nix to start in Seattle
After VP Kamala Harris spoke to close out the Democratic National Convention, CNN went to a focus group of undecided voters. Seven out of eight said the speech shifted their vote to the Harris column. The eighth was a shady Black dude with issues, probably of the emotional short.
Maybe a woman like Kamala told him he wasn’t shit, back in the day.
I’ve been entertaining the idea of a Harris blowout for a couple weeks now, but this week provided tangible proof that Trumpism can be taken out, bigly. The fact is that even in the days before the Chicago convention, the Republican Party’s nominee for President was lethargic in front of dwindling crowds.
He knows he’s fucked. It was undeniable.
Which takes us to Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett, back in Super Bowl 27. Click through to YouTube to fully absorb my point. Keep your eye on No. 82 of the Buffalo Bills, White wide receiver Don Beebe!
Hubris has let Donald’s being fucked seem to come out of nowhere. That’s an illusion. Forty-five was, in fact, too busy celebrating to anticipate Kamala Beebe. The GOP convention was a four-day coronation. The selection of JD Redundancy as Vice President was Trump holding out the football before he reached the end zone. Thoughtless hubris.
Beyond imagining a Harris-Walz landslide win, I do picture certain powerful Republicans putting guns in their mouths, once history reveals the character of their shameful choices. Leon Lett was humiliated in a game. These politics are the realest of life.
And here are 10 news items from the American region most starved for DC representation, with a lil somethin’ on the side:

10 Is Bo Nix the new John Elway?
A running joke through last college football season was that Bo Nix was older than a lot of NFL rookies.
No one’s joking at the U of O legend’s expense now, as he’ll be Denver ’s starting quarterback when the Broncos go into Seattle on September 8. Nix will be the team’s first rookie to start on Day One since that famous Stanford signal caller.
