I always think of the part in Bill Burr’s legendary Philly Rant where he told the crowd that the city built a statue of a fictional Rocky because they couldn’t tolerate Joe Frazier because he was Black.
Burr is one of my favorite comedians and always tells it like it is. 😂

He went to Cal Berkeley
He works for NASA
He is a college professor
He is an active contributor in his communities
And this is in addition to being a multi-time All Star, Finals MVP and NBA Champion
He IS the smartest person in the room.

@pablofindsout will have a victory lap of all victory laps and I use that begrudgingly because I’m not positive it’s enjoyment but the fact that honest reporting changed the league for good
No one loves welfare more than billionaires destroying communities so they don’t have to use a penny of their own funds while raking in record profits.

Totally, a billionaire should be the one getting a $600 million welfare tax handout when there are literal children who don’t have functional schools. What the hell is wrong with this man?

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
