@cwebbonline He’s a complete embarrassment.

@GBX_Press Unprecedented level of corruption. Fleece us for as much as possible and then head to Saudi Arabia after term is up and live off their corrupt money.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@SMHighlights1 Doesn’t matter. Game over.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@AndyPattonCBB They do need great three point shooting. And there are tons of good three point shooters everywhere. Problem is so many of them are too small, poor defenders, not great handlers, etc. Few needs these guys to have to have multiple skills. Those guys are few and far between.

@legendofchoke If you’re talking about unethical basketball, maybe it should include thuggery type defense to cancel out skill and talent. It should have a place in this discussion. That’s not great basketball either.

@BindawaOfficial @TheNBACentel Isn’t that the truth. Figured I read about something with a little less tension, like politics.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@Jacobtheclipper @NBAOfficial @HaterReport You people are really ruining a great nba series with all this bs. Just let it go.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@mitchellvii Thus the reason why Republicans LOVE closed primaries, so only the radicals can vote in those primaries.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@jason_howerton A literal heretic who wears your faith like a skin…like Donald Trump does?

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@BasedMikeLee This conversation is absolute proof of why the framers of the constitution and the first amendment saw the need to keep government and religion separate. It’s a nightmare when religion gets involved. No country that claims free religion can allow religion’s direct influence.

@RumorsandRants Defender grabs him to impede his movement, which the Spurs have done the whole series. Offensive player has three choices. Just stand there & be held, disrupting offensive flow, push back and likely get a foul called on him, or embellish to try and get a call. Choice seems clear.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@nytimes Want him to endorse a potato and see if these people would vote for it.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@LordDuckVader @Supreme23_____ @OfficialNBARefs And some LeBron lover recently said he was better than Jordan because MJ had to go to college. Maybe James should’ve played in college and learned some fundamentals.

@OfVoice35353 @jdstone33 @SaltyGoat17 Democrats sticking together? Good god read a history book man!

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@NMoonitz @rentfree_lol Explain why?

[Grant Stern  @grantstern]

Watch what happens when I set the record straight on Virginia with Newsmax.

Democrats won a statewide VOTER referendum in Virginia last night to change the voting maps to counter a partisan Republican redistricting by LEGISLATURES in Texas and North Carolina, which the Supreme Court approved.

See the difference? Just like California voters, the people of Virginia approved a new map.

Now that Democrats fought back in Virginia and across the redistricting map, you're going to hear Republicans cry a river, when it is their party who surgically perfected political mapmaking to gain advantages for the last 25 years.

So when you see the crocodile tears, recognize them for what they are: performative victimhood by a group of people who accumulate power in dark rooms.

This is how Republicans have seized national power using partisan political maps with no direct votes.

Do you realize that a Republican gerrymander in Florida, which only survived because of a highly partisan state Supreme Court, is the difference in who is the Speaker of the House today, RIGHT NOW?

Here in Florida, where I live, voters passed a Constitutional Amendment to end partisan gerrymandering called the Fair Maps Amendment. A friend of mine worked on that fight for two years to get it on the ballot and ratified, then five more years in court to finally get a compliant map after Florida's Republican legislature drew partisan maps in DEFIANCE of the voters' will.

In 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supplied Republicans with a newly gerrymandered map that yielded four extra seats, representing the ENTIRE difference between Republicans controlling the House of Representatives last year and this year, or Democrats having the gavel.

And Florida's Governor just called in the GOP-run state legislature in just six days from today, demanding yet another partisan gerrymander.

Even Republican Congressmen like Mario Diaz-Balart (Fidel Castro's nephew) and former Mayor Carlos Gimenez have said publicly *they don't want a partisan gerrymandered map* this year.

Yet, Governor Ron DeSantis declared open season to do new maps next week. Why?

He is a lame duck. He needs a job. He's unpopular in his own state's party. Florida is expensive as HELL. Florida is losing residents for the first time. He met with Donald Trump recently. He wants a top job in Trump's Cabinet, like Pete Hegseth's job.

This is how the sausage is made for these Republican maps.

Back-room deals.

Except when Donald Trump personally demands a gerrymander like in Texas.

In Texas, the Republican Party pushed through a gerrymandered map that sorted voters by race, but a partisan Supreme Court allowed it anyway, further eroding the Voting Rights Act.

In North Carolina, a two-seat change on its Supreme Court led to a rapid reversal of earlier decisions striking down partisan gerrymandering and a 7-7 map becoming an 11-3 map favoring Republicans because of that state's gerrymandered state legislative maps, despite North Carolina voters electing Democrats statewide for the last three terms as its Governors.

Are you starting to see the pattern here?

Wherever Republicans can rig the map and control something, they will do it. Time after time.

I won't even go into the Koch Brothers-inspired 2010 redistricting bonanza driven by the Tea Party movement. Or North Carolina's old Republican mapmaker passing away and his kids giving his hard drives to voting rights groups who PROVED that Republicans were engaged in racial gerrymandering just a handful of years ago. That North Carolina Republican consultant was a national player in the GOP mapmaking scene.

So when you see them bleating about gerrymandering to favor Democrats suddenly being bad, just ask yourself what it's really about.

When America elected Democrats to run the House of Representatives in 2018's Blue Wave election, the FIRST thing they tried to do was pass a comprehensive government reform bill, HR 1, the "For the People Act."
The For the People Act would have BANNED PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING FOREVER.

Democrats passed it in the House.

It never got a vote in the Senate, controlled by Republican Mitch McConnell.

Democrats then proposed the Freedom to Vote Act in September 2021.

It would have introduced national voter ID standards and allowed states to choose how to handle voter ID for elections.

It would have ALSO BANNED PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING FOREVER.

They could not break the Republican filibuster to get a vote.

NOW, do you see what Republicans have been doing to choose their voters in American elections?

These are just the most relevant examples.

Democrats are fighting back out of political necessity, but only because Republicans started the war.

And as we've all witnessed with Donald Trump's war of choice with Iran, when you start a fight with someone else, you don't get to unilaterally choose when it's over.

@Konstoyouralas1 @RpsAgainstTrump Are all conservative responders just bots? Only explanation for these idiotic responses.

[Douglas J. Good @bbcidboy]

@Logically_JC Not surprising. This is what Trump has been telling them to think for a while now. It’s going to be hard to fix this and become one nation again after this guy finally leaves office.
