@Pete_Finnegan @CGasparino And when that goes nowhere? Like every assertion over the past 6 years?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@Pete_Finnegan @CGasparino Because?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@CGasparino @AdamKinzinger Do you want to take this opportunity to provide some evidence?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@atrupar Do any Trumpers want to take this opportunity to provide the evidence?

Or are y’all gonna walk out, too?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@Max____Stone @Angry_Staffer Zzzz.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@Max____Stone @Angry_Staffer Oh. I’m persuaded!!!

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@Max____Stone @Angry_Staffer I think evidence would help him more, but that isn’t an option, so tantrum it is.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

Never any evidence. GOP repeats it anyway.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

That was quite the tantrum by Trump on Meet the Press.

Welker gave him a chance to provide some evidence for his stolen election claims, and instead he threw a massive fit and called the interview.

@DeItaone Got that, Wall Street?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

Gas under $5. Hadn’t seen that in a long time.

The contrast between Reagan’s speech at Point-Du-Hoc and Pete Hegseth today are like two different galaxies. Listen to how much reverence he gives to the same allies that Hegseth attacks.

@ironmikeluke 56 at Westport, Wa.

And not even smelly.

@BadFoxGraphics @tom_mallory @washingtonpost Plus, this current “treatment” does nothing to solve algae.

@SirWinston85 @krassenstein Trump, Aug. 2024: “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again.”

But, yeah, Democrats invented the word.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke That’s fine. Just don’t see UCLA gets relegated to No. 5 when the four teams ahead of them surely got boosts from boosters.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke Also, don’t love Wooden.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke You don’t have an issue with Wooden’s cheating?

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke He wasn’t landing and retaining players the whole time.

Odd that you praised Bonds but excoriated Wooden.

We’ve both sinned.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke We’ve both done the “excusing of cheating.”

I’m now arguing against Wooden not knowing what he was doing before Gilbert returned.

Are there other coaches who did this while being clueless?

He won back-to-back titles before returned.

[Gary Crooks @GaryCrooks]

@ironmikeluke UCLA won the natty in 64 and 65. Gilbert association started in 66-67.

So perhaps Wooden was slightly better than your assessment, no?
