I laughed so hard at Hardy flopping and Shai just hopping over him, like, “if you don’t want to play defense, get out of the way.”

In fairness, what better way to know something is a scam than being experienced at using it for a scam?
"And for Trump, calling affordability a scam is doubly strange because it's the very issue that helped propel him back to the White House," writes Matt Egan | Analysis https://cnn.it/4pJfEz8

It isn't that these cars don't exist. I've seen them on the road. The issue is there isn't much of a market for them, and relaxing fuel efficiency standards the day before issuing a command to produce more of these cars is counterproductive to increasing demand on these cars.

Just once, it would be nice if they were asked to specify which wars have been ended.

Is that how peace works?

I'm a little concerned by how appealing of a package the Spurs could put together for him.
Just in: Giannis Antetokounmpo and his agent Alex Saratsis have started conversations with the Milwaukee Bucks about the two-time NBA MVP's future – and discussing whether his best fit is staying or elsewhere, sources tell ESPN. A resolution is expected in the coming weeks.

House Republicans have escalated their push for Jack Smith to testify, subpoenaing the former special counsel to answer House Judiciary Committee questions about his federal prosecutions of President Trump behind closed doors.

I think it's time to start referring to capital punishment as what it is. Delegated murder.

Trump is remarkably consistent in pardoning political corruption regardless of party affiliation. He even tries to assist foreign politicians who have been caught in corruption scandals. Corruption is his most ingrained value.

A lot is being made about the Clippers parting with one of their only proven leaders. Well, CP3 and Harden butted heads when they played together in Houston, and I would be surprised if either of them have changed their basketball philosophies in the years since.
In what is the latest low in a season of woe, the Clippers announced early Wednesday morning that they will part ways with Chris Paul.
Last month, Paul announced that this will be his last season before he retires: http://dlvr.it/TPc6S0

If the Rockets can make a deal, I think they will.
The Clippers probably won’t waive Chris Paul until they’ve exhausted trade possibilities. CP’s contract is fully guaranteed and LAC is tight to their first-apron hard cap. CP becomes trade-eligible on December 15.
A buyout is possible, but a buyout of a minimum deal isn’t really a thing.
