#BREAKING: John Heilemann: “I think [President Herbert] Hoover’s got to be on @realDonaldTrump’s mind though, because he knows that as soon as his presidency ends, the discussion of who is the WORST president in American history will begin, and as of now I would say there’s kind of a consensus Hoover is right at the bottom of everybody’s list, and there will be a long going debate…for the rest of Donald Trump’s years on planet earth and long beyond, there will be a question about who was worse for America, Herbert Hoover or Donald Trump, and so he’s clearly already playing out that competition out in his mind…”😳😂
no one like Duran: quicksilver, miraculous.
also, moved up in weight & acquired four championships.
it was too bad, the fight with Leonard....
Leonard made a fool out of Marvin Hagler, too.
ultimately, though it is tempting to dislike Sugar Ray Leonard, eventually you come to very much admire him.
Duran, Leonard, Hagler-- all excellent boxers in different weights, styles.
They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
Here is what I've learned today. MAGA is nuts. I've never really interacted too much. I just stuck to writing. And I can attest that so far, I love all you guys so much! For the most part, people on here are good people. But the "BUT OBAMA DID THIS!" people have fucking lost their minds for a bloated orange Caligula who fucks children.
I've been writing about the Reflecting Pool and the danger of algae to wildlife, pets, and humans. Obama used $34 million to fix the Reflecting Pool 16 years ago. He did a LOT to it. And it helped a LOT. He put a state of the art filtration and circulation system in it and pulled better water from the Potomac River, then shallowed the pool to conserve water. The pool still leaked a little but that's because it was built on mud 100 years ago. It was determined many years later that the pipes installed could be larger though. Still, no algae problems. No wildlife hurt. It was a great project and it was successful.
Then here comes MAGA screaming, "OBAMA PUT THE WRONG PIPES IN AND DESTROYED THE WHOLE POOL!!!!" Fucking, really? Really!!? No, he fucking didn't. No one was upset at all after Obama's restoration because we could afford eggs, milk, gas, rent, and have a more joyful existence. If all you have is "Obama destroyed the pool", then you don't want to comment on my tweets...because I'll let you know the soiled slob who destroyed the Oval Office, Rose Garden, and East Wing is an abomination to humankind. Jack the Ripper had more dignity than Donald Jennifer Trump, the thin-skinned false prophet with an infant's hands at age 80 who has never cracked a Bible open because the idiot can't read above preschool level.
If the black man must be PERFECT, while the white orange-tinted man wearing a full face of makeup can be the most vile person on the planet, you're a fucking racist. Full stop.
Elon Musk was given tens of billions in government contracts and tax breaks and was able to take a company that’s lost $41 billion and somehow become a “trillionaire.”
You will pay social security your whole life and they’ll tell you it’s an “entitlement” when you try to collect
I really think rural America needs to learn how to say "thank you." Seriously. Y'all complain about city people every single day, but those city people pay all your fucking bills.
Without the cities, rural America wouldn't even exist.
So it's about time you rural folk stop yapping and crying... and get down on your fucking hands and knees and thank all the city people for paying your goddamn way. And stop trying to fuck everyone up when they try to give you healthcare and access to education. Quit being fucking thankless and start working with the people who pay for the country you claim is "yours."
This ain't your country. It's ours.
Elon is not a good person.
He begged to go to Epstein island for the wildest parties. He abandoned his own daughter because she was trans and then bought a social media network to harm trans people. His first project, Zip2, was a terribly coded disaster that caused Compaq to go broke after they convinced them to shell out hundreds of millions.
He's a con. He's a terrible person who to this day sits around doing drugs and bullying people and governments with his power and money. And most of his wealth was generated through taxpayer subsidies.
He's a horrible human with a dozen kids who he never spends time with. Doesn't coach their teams. Doesn't tuck them in. He's a hideous example of a man.
And these are the freaks that get rewarded with endless wealth. The Epstein island, child abandoning crooks. If you celebrate this, you have to ask yourself what you actually value... because it's not goodness.
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
Left Handed Centers
Bob Lanier was an 8x NBA All-Star, first selction of the 1970 NBA draft. Also still holds the Piston franchise record for points in a game - 48.
Willis Reed is not available. Can you name another NBA left handed center?
DL Hughley: “There’s more evidence to suggest that Trump is a pedophile than the election in Los Angeles was rigged. The one thing MAGA hates more than Black people is proof”
.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
