@epnohelty Must be a Bucks fan, because there is no way Giannis is worth that much. And Mobley for Chet is an even swap, no need to give up all the other Thunder players.
This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Normal person: Genocide is bad.
Israel supporter: Just say you hate Jews.
Normal person: I oppose Zionism.
Israel supporter: Jews. You mean Jews. Say Jews.
Normal person: The Israel lobby is causing problems.
Israel supporter: Jews Jews Jews Jews Jewy Jew Jews.
Normal person: But I don't mean Jews. I'm expressing specific grievances against a specific state, its backers, and the political ideology it is premised upon. I judge people based on their individual actions, not on their religion.
Israel supporter: JEWWWWWWS.
Normal person: You realize you're doing the exact same thing neo-Nazis do, right? You're conflating all Jews with everything bad about Israel and the forces which give rise to its abuses.
Israel supporter: It is antisemitic to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
Normal person: Then why do you keep conflating all Jews with the actions of Israel?
Israel supporter: Because it is antisemitic not to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
It has nothing to do with Thomas Massie losing, It has everything to do with a foreign government and it's supporters lobbying 30 million to protect its interest of a foreign government.
This isnt America first. Im more committed to never vote for an aipac candidate again.
NEW: Multiple ICE warehouses were sold by people in Trump's circle who were sitting on the properties and losing money.
We dug into it, and found that some properties were bought by the feds for 10x their list price.
It's a new level of corruption — and you're paying for it.
Trump has a 99% approval rating in Israel and a 35% approval rating in America. It's clear which country he serves. Welcome to the United States of Israel. 🇮🇱
I can't think of a more glaring and revealing political irony than a politician who called his ideology "America First" proudly *boasting* that he's far more popular in Israel than in his own country: in fact, so popular there that he could be elected Prime Minister of Israel.
@ElizaGlass1972@JamesTate121@123workerbee Why should those folks not pay taxes while the rest of us do? You realize if they don’t pay taxes, then we have to make up the shortfall?
@thunderpokefan@TheSteinLine@TheNBPA The female refs are atrocious. Watch any game they officiate. BOTH teams are typically befuddled by their calls, non-calls & general demeanor with players/coaches. It’s a big problem.
