The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Donald Trump – Sigh, here we go again…Still a man of zero moral or intellectual substance…Still a liar…Still an admitted sexual predator…Still an idiot who believes, among other things, that the moon is part of Mars, that Colorado deserve a border fence, and that the American Revolution was won when the Continental Army secured British airports…Now a convicted felon…We can do better than this, but we don’t want to.
2. Kamala Harris – Not the worst candidate we’ve ever had, but good gravy, unless you’re a hard-core Democrat, her biggest selling point is that she is not Donald Trump…Which is enough this year, frankly.
3. USA! USA! – With Trump nominated for the third time, GOP plainly at peace with ignorance, lies, and hatred…On Tuesday, we’ll see if America is OK with those things, too.
4. Penn State Nittany Lions – SB5 pollsters absolutely giddy over latest, clutch loss to Ohio State, as Penn State has no business making money off of major division collegiate sports after child molesting scandal.
5. Donald Trump Fact Check: – Click here for assorted lies, misinformation, and inaccuracies from Donald Trump…A shocker, we know.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1936 – President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt is reelected, defeating Kansas Governor Alf Langdon, receiving 523 of 531 electoral votes and 60.8% of the popular vote. It was the second of four times FDR would be elected president, the only person elected more than twice. It was the biggest landslide in a presidential election since Franklin Pierce ran unopposed in 1820 and Roosevelt would remain president until dying early in his fourth term in 1945.
In 1982 – Randy Smith of the San Diego Clippers establishes a new NBA record for most consecutive games played in a 130-111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. It was the 845th consecutive game for Smith, which broke the record established by Johnny Kerr, and Smith would eventually play in 906 consecutive games, a streak that ended in March when he missed a game while waiting to clear waivers after requesting a trade. The record is now held by A.C. Green with 1,192.
In 2018 – Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B is at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the sixth of seven consecutive weeks with Girls Like You. The song went to #1 in twelve other countries including Chile, Croatia, and Israel, peaked at #7 in Great Britain, was Billboard’s 10th-biggest song of the year, their 22nd-biggest of 2019, and their 5th-biggest of the decade. It was the fourth and most recent #1 for Maroon 5 and the third of five #1s for Cardi B.
