TBH, I don't think there is a way to unite the MAGA nutters with the Democrat crowd. Well, nothing short of a major war but even then I'm not sure it would work. Major natural disaster, maybe.

I heard that "stutter" on the radio. Whoops.

They guy really seems to be declining. No chance he should run for a second term.

Feel it’s more likely than not that he will, though. I just don’t think they have any plan B other than a shitfight.

It's a very reasonable assumption. A significant number of mouth-breathers voted for Trump a couple of times (and, indeed, may do so a third time) and quite a few people in the US actually watch basketball willingly. Why would anyone think they might not be idiots?

Watching the Golden State Warriors win a play off match from a bar in the Tenderloin area of Frisco was a true experience.

If the EPL was playing in the park next door, I'd close the blinds.

It’s only woke if you have a superficial understanding of history or read too much right wing press.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the poorest areas of New Orleans which combined with the natural incompetence of the Bush Administration seriously f*cked things up for mostly African Americans. This is not special news; it’s out there.

https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-r ... l-disaster

There was a brilliant TV series based on the corrupt politics of the time (historically and in the immediate aftermath of Katrina) by the makers of “The Wire” called “Treme” which in part dealt with that.

Kemala Harris has got it in one : get the $ to the neediest as they missed out big time last time and in floods they’ll be the most affected.

^ As Elon Musk said "Should be according to greatest need, not race or anything else"

Comments about race and equity pander to the gullible woke brigade.

And comments using "woke" or "sjw" simply pander to the gullible Qanon/alt-right clowns.
