JFK didn’t use his family name and connections to get 5 deferments so none of this should be surprising... 40 % of American approving of DJT should be...

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing. Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔 apnews.com/article/trump-ufc…

It’s just interesting how a growing number of men who said they were Christian Nationalists, but not racists, are more and more comfortable now being the racists and hanging with the racists they said they rejected.

I'll take a stab at this. Are you ready? The higher up. The one who appointed her... Is. Also. A. Russian. Asset. Now does it make sense? In fact, is there any other way it makes sense?

McDavid and MacKinnon fans seem upset about Hart voting. A man once led NHL with 199 points (31 more than anyone else), 85 goals, set a record with 13 SHG and led his team to playoff for first time in 7 years with Bob Errey and Rob Brown as linemates. And didn’t win the Hart.

All true. Nobody would have other than Trump. A normal, professional, ethical and dignified individual from anywhere on the political spectrum was preferable to the unthinkable that is Trump, be it Kamala Harris or almost anyone else of good faith from American society.

She would not have bombed Iran. She would not have illegally attacked Venezuela. She would not have destroyed the economy. She would not have pardoned criminals, drug traffickers, and traitors. She would not have supported Putin's Russia. She would not have slept in the Oval Office. She would not have an affected hand. She would not have cut the SNAP program. She would not have used the DOJ to attack her political enemies. She would not have given money to foreign countries. She would not have abandoned American farmers. She would not have prevented the release of the Epstein files. She would not have destroyed American democracy. She would not have trampled on the Constitution. She would not have abandoned the fundamental rights of citizens. She would not have deployed American soldiers against the American people. She would not have destroyed the White House. She would not have enriched her family through government influence. She would not have lied about her health records. She would not have played golf. She wouldn't have asked people to cheat in future elections. She wouldn't have said "Quiet piggy" to a female journalist. She wouldn't have invited Putin to Alaska. She wouldn't have appointed an administration of incompetents. She wouldn't have done everything Trump did.

I’m going to say the part everybody keeps trying to smother with soft lighting and school-colored spin: This Texas Tech defense of Brendan Sorsby is not noble. It is not brave. It is not some deeply moving stand for second chances. It is a beautifully produced excuse factory with a quarterback depth chart attached. And I’m sorry, but some of us still remember when gambling was the one line sports absolutely, positively did not let you tap dance across. Baseball knew it. Basketball knew it. Football knew it. College athletics knew it. Every athlete who has ever sat through a compliance meeting knows it. You do not bet on games. You certainly do not bet on games connected to your own program. That is not complicated. That is not hidden in fine print. That is not some NCAA mystery written in invisible ink and stored behind a locked filing cabinet in Indianapolis. That is Day One stuff. That is “don’t touch the stove” stuff. That is “the bridge is out” stuff. And now Texas Tech wants everyone to gather around, dab our eyes, admire the production quality, and pretend this is really about compassion? No. Compassion is helping Brendan Sorsby get well. Compassion is making sure he has treatment, accountability, support, and people around him who care more about his soul than his stat line. Compassion is not pretending the rulebook suddenly caught a stomach virus because the quarterback room got uncomfortable. That’s not grace. That’s roster management wearing a halo. And that’s where this whole thing starts smelling like a booster-club candle called “Selective Accountability.” Because let’s be painfully honest. If this were a third-string offensive guard from a school ESPN only mentions during weather delays, there would be no emotional video. No moral campaign. No carefully scripted institutional defense. No dramatic music. No “we stand with our guy” tour. There would be a violation. There would be a consequence. There would be silence. But because it’s a quarterback who can help win games, suddenly the red line needs context, therapy lighting, and a legal team. Nope. Wrong. Try again. Sports cannot survive if gambling violations become public-relations projects. The integrity of the game cannot depend on how many boosters are nervous. Rules cannot only apply to the guys who are not talented enough to become inconvenient. And second chances do not have to include first-team reps. I hope Brendan Sorsby gets help. Truly. I hope he heals. I hope he grows. I hope five years from now this is a painful chapter in a much better story. But he does not need NCAA eligibility to become whole. He does not need a starting job to be supported. He does not need the rest of college football to pretend that a clear line was suddenly blurry just because Texas Tech found a camera crew and a sympathetic script. Sometimes love tells the truth. Sometimes support still says no. Sometimes consequences are not cruelty. And sometimes the most compassionate thing anyone can do is stop treating accountability like it’s a disease we need to cure. You crossed the line. Now the line has to matter. #BrendanSorsby #TexasTech #NCAA #CollegeFootball #SportsBetting #SportsIntegrity #AccountabilityMatters #PersonalResponsibility #CollegeFootballNews #NCAAFootball #CameronDole @espn @TexasTech @TexasTechFB @TechAthletics @Big12Conference

Trump is bad at reaching meaningful agreements with autocrats. He failed in his first term with Kim Jong Un. He played a game of chicken with Xi Jinping last year, and then backed down. He has accomplished nothing with Putin regarding the end of the war in Ukraine. Negotiations with autocrats in Iran are not going well either. He's better at coercing democratic allies.

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right? So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing. The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

Same guy who summoned the Papal Ambassador to the Pentagon for the now infamous get on board or else threatening… how about you guys impeach his cosplaying boss Pete too?

I don't care too much about your politics. I care if you can see reality. Can you separate yourself from your political identity. Can you call a spade a spade. Can you hold true to your values instead of throwing them away to join a group identity.

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

You’re losing 35,000 troops a month. It’s time you admitted you got beat and go home. I served 30 years in AF and I’m glad Putin is getting his ass handed to him.

Thank goodness for Birthright citizenship 4-1

Marco Rubio: “Birthright citizenship is a scam.” Grok: “Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971 before his parents became U.S. citizens.”

Mediocre white man trying to erase the achievements of a Black man because he knows he'll never measure up.

How much taxpayer dollars Donald Trump is spending on his birthday, including military jets fly-over: $10s of millions. How much of our money all the other presidents spent on their birthdays combined: ZERO. We're not a country to Trump, we're an ATM.

BREAKING: Democrats just officially requested the following Trump officials testify before Congress over the Epstein cover-up: JD Vance, Karoline Leavitt, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Steven Cheung, and Susie Wiles. Let’s go.

If Texas Tech hadn’t grossly overpaid for Sorsby they would have tossed him to the streets the minute they found out about the gambling just an unserious and unethical university

Republicans are in charge because we promised: to Make America Healthy Again. to start No New Wars, to put people above corporations, to put America above foreign countries, to release the Epstein files, to not spy on citizens, to eliminate fraud, what the hell happened?!
