Sure, let's recruit the dumbest people we can find!

It's honestly absurd that the league and it's network partners can make so much money off gambling but individuals are getting arrested for participating.

This is definitely not going to help the perception a lot of people have that the NBA is a crooked league. Gambling is tainting the entire thing.

Any prospective Democratic presidential candidate should make it clear they would step up antitrust enforcement and look to break this company up if that merger goes through. It would be that damaging to the country.

It's essentially a money laundering operation. They'll rent out the space to corporations or foreign governments for insane amounts of money and they'll skim off the top. It's a vehicle the bribery.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Thanasis got too open, he's not used to it, he didn't know what to do. 😂

The Bucks really need to make the whole Middleton on a buyout thing happen.

Seems like they're going to keep going into different cities until they find one that will give them the violent reaction they've desperately been looking for.

Very one sided officiating so far.

Kyle Birling @kylebirling.bsky.social · 19h

Wouldn't be surprised if the league starts calling those 10 second violations on Giannis for..... reasons.

Well the Bucks were healthy for 9 and a half minutes...

Really love the early effort from this Bucks team. It's weird, I'm almost nervous when they're playing fast. I'm not used to it.

I know it's the Wizards but that's a good start. Turner everywhere to start. Love the physical defense.

Imagine having all this baggage in your past and still deciding that it's definitely a good idea to run for Senate.

You'd have to be the biggest idiot on the planet to run for Senate with not one, but two Nazi tattoos. Also can't be much of a genius if you reveal your second Nazi tattoo by proving you covered up your first one.

So not only is he going to steal a quarter billion dollars from the taxpayers, we're never going to actually know about it until way later.

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.
