@SStricklandMMA How can anyone confidently say socialism “doesn’t work” when, throughout history, capitalist powers have intervened, destabilized, sanctioned, overthrown, or outright crushed socialist movements before they could fully develop?
@druski The ‘surprise’ is a gambling addiction. Pushing betting on young fans whose brains aren’t even fully developed till 25 is the same as pushing tobacco. Money over morals every time.

@PpollingNumbers@zerohedge@AOC has zero self-reflection. More ambition than IQ. Either ignores her limitations or genuinely doesnt understand them. No real beliefs, no integrity, no morals. Just a political shapeshifter willing to say or do anything to advance career. The political equivalent of a coward.
This statement was submitted by the Howard University Student Organizers of the protest of Mayor Muriel Bowser as the speaker at their graduation. These are not “misguided young people who don’t understand the issues” these are brilliant Black college students. Much Respect 👊🏾
Charlamagne: How do you justify being worth billions of dollars, but some fighters need second jobs?
Dana White: Listen, I'm sure some basketball players and baseball players still need second jobs too until they make it.
@matthewstoller It’s called Financial terrorism Matt. HF and PE place moles on company boards strap them w/ debt take warrants/bonds out and short co out of business and sell off assets piece by piece. Rinse and repeat. In this case Ken Griffin. All alleged.
@neeratanden@BobbyThomas1965 Allegedly. How about HFs and PEs placing moles on company boards, strapping w/ debt, & shorting them into bankruptcy while owning warrants etc. Sell off assets. Rinse & repeat. Thats what’s really destroying American companies. But for some reason regulators look the other way.
@maustermuhle Josh Harris will NEVER let this happen—but it should be a core campaign promise for every candidate: DC First. This is about the people, not an owner or private equity using the team to cash in on surrounding development. The city and its residents deserve a MUCH bigger stake.
Johnson said he would want D.C. to have a 26% stake in the Commanders. Some reporting I've seen valued Magic Johnson's 4% stake at $240 million, so with that as a baseline, Johnson would want D.C. to put more than $1.5 billion into the team.
