@JacobAShell Why is being suspended vs brink of being fired am important distinction? If the action should not punished? Seems like you are attempting some sort of kathy yung style bike shedding.
When Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King, Simone Biles, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Naomi Osaka or Coco Gauff speak about politics it’s “heroic” and “Bigger than Sports” but when Sophie Cunningham answers a political question she was asked it’s a “distraction from the game” and “disgusting”??????
When did we let our sports and media get so politically bias. We are being indoctrinated and unfortunately most of you are lapping it up.
Given that JDV is the VP, the ~99% likely successor handpicked by Trump, and has a 85% approval rating among Republicans and 20 points on any other primary challenger, yeah, it’s up to the critics to make the case.
But, sure, in case it wasn’t self-evident:
- 150 IQ
- 6’2"
- Blue eyes
- Incredibly inspiring personal story, which speaks to both his intrinsic virtues and his electability. Ron Howard made a fucking blockbuster MOVIE out of his life, only Republicans could be so dumb as to not make that guy the nominee
- Sincere & faithful Christian
- Can unite the various factions of the coalition: Tech Right, working class populists, social conservatives, etc. which means he’s the best placed to hold together & grow the majority coalition Trump built in 2024, our first majority coalition in DECADES
- - And yes, his moderate realist—NOT "isolationist"—foreign policy views are absolutely a part of that
- - Same with his economic views, which are anti-socialist but not doctrinaire free market libertarian; we already established in 2016 that Cato Institute libertarianism aren’t the majority views of *Republicans*, let alone the country
- Winning VP debate + other interviews, speeches, podcasts etc speak to ability to own the media & win elections
- Comes across as a normal dude in an era where everyone in politics is weird in some way
- Was one of the most right-wing/MAGA Senators (if you’re looking for his "true views")
- Best fundraiser in ***decades*** (nobody talks about this but it’s huge)
- Is what probably 51-53% of Americans want, which is Trump’s views minus Trumpian excesses
And this is just off the top of my head.
"Hi, I'm here for the outspoken conservative columnist job at the New York Times. A little about me: I would never misgender anyone. I believe the J6 insurrectionists were evil and the pardon was an abomination. I believe trans girls are girls. American birthright citizenship is a universal human right. I hate Donald Trump. I love the New York Times. When do I start?"
@NateDuncanNBA The knicks victory Is a win for your team building strategy. get big wings. knicks traded for og and bridges. Shooting center that can play some defense. Towns close enough. Guard who can shoot 3s off the dribble? Brunson not exactly, but he is a great scorer.
President Trump having the balls to go to an NBA game knowing a lot of the people there hate him is literally braver than anything MLK or Jackie Robinson ever did.

Every victim of a violent crime has a moral duty to ensure their attackers are imprisoned. It can seem like a burden to those who have already been victimized -- to have to testify and be subjected to hostile scrutiny by defense attorneys. But it's one of our most important duties as citizens, to protect the next victim from our assailant.
