@o_a_khan It also takes away from the team concept. NBA wants stars. They hated the old Spurs team because it was a team, not a "Face of the League." Its about money. Stars make people watch. So they push "Faces" not teams.
The MAGA Republican Platform:
Protect the fetus; starve the child.
Honor the soldier; abandon the veteran.
Enrich the corporation; fleece the worker.
Quote the Bible; ignore the verses.
Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd.
The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trumpโs tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020.
405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked.
Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison.
On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid.
He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it.
The taxpayer foots the bill either way.
