COMMENTARY: Letās say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Column: A college sports industry with no restraint, no shame and no appreciation for its consumers expanded the NCAA Tournament to 76, with an eye on CFP expansion to 24. Almost nobody wants either, but that isn't stopping the alleged leaders. https://t.co/PmE5HIuKjz
Aside from the fact that this is awful, awkward television, itās also just ahistorical.
In his 4 years in Houston, Chuck averaged 16-12-4, including averaging 18 & 12 during a run to the Western Conference Finals.
Draymond continues to recreate history.

I am going on record. The NCAA Tournament was perfect at 64. Anything else is shameful greed exhibited by power conferences. Anyone who loves the sport knows this is the gospel truth,
It's fitting that Seth Greenberg wants the tourney expanded.
Lived on the bubble for most of his tenure at Virginia Tech.
Went to the NCAA tourney once in his final 17 seasons as head coach.
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
Bibi has been fruitlessly begging US admins to bomb Iran and unleash the animal spirits of regime change for decades, like some shitty startup striking out with traditional VCs, over and over again ā and like the savvy CEO of a shitty startup idea, he finally found a dumb-money septuagenarian family office to fork over a huge check. Genuinely embarrassing shit.
"Trump pardoned nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz just 3 months into his sentence for a $39 million fraud scheme. Meanwhile, families who won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against Schwartz havenāt collected a cent," per ProPublica
Undocumented immigrants are ineligible to receive benefits like Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, or ACA all while paying $100 billion into those systems a year. Billionaires are responsible for 99% of that massive fraud, responsible for a $696 billion tax gap with the hundreds of billions in corporate-level improper payments, we're talking $1 trillion in annual lost or stolen revenue. Individual welfare fraud represents less than 1% of that. You're mad at the wrong people.
Health care? "You're on your own."
Housing? "Nothing we can do."
Grocery prices? "You're out of luck."
$200 billion for another war? "No problem!"
AmericansāDemocrats, Republicans, independentsāare SICK AND TIRED of endless wars.
We need to invest here at home.
If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat while others starved, scientists would study it to understand what the fuck was wrong with it. Scientists would then watch as all the other monkeys took turns beating that one monkey to death with sticks.
