@jlarkytweets got one thing wrong, DOGE was not a failure, it succeeded (somewhat) in its actual purpose, the stated purpose was always a fabrication

I see this sentiment a lot toward Kamala Harris She got smoked in the Democrat primary in 2020 so clearly she’s not charismatic But how would she have been way worse than Trump 2.0 ? We’re a year in and: - Gas prices way up - War in Iran Trump promised not to start - Concerning links between Trump and Epstein, with Trump and Bondi actively blocking (illegally I might add) the Epstein files release - Govt spending is actually way way up overall despite “DOGE” which ended up being a catastrophic failure. Our national debt has risen multiple trillion already - Long TSA lines, more airplane crashes, too many air traffic controllers fired or quit due to DOGE - Chaotic ICE deportations took one of Trump’s best issues (immigration) and sent him way underwater in polling - Trump has pressured states not to have any AI regulations, this is already hurting rural communities where massive data centers are installed with minimal oversight - Constant insider trading based on Trump’s actions - Tariffs on every country in the world which raised prices and hurt our relationships with allies (possibly some of the reason they all refuse to help us in Iran) - Journalist at a liberal news network was somehow *invited* into a war group chat and privy to info that, if he leaked, could have killed mass amounts of servicemen - Countries actively bribe Trump (Qatar jet, his son’s crypto venture, Kushner’s UAE business ventures) and he seems to relish it - Mass pardon spree where many white collar felons get off within weeks while the lower/middle class people they scammed are still suffering from the damage - US Stock market performing worse than the global average for developed nations - Value of the US dollar down significantly, too - Installing unqualified people in nearly every cabinet position (based on looks and name value rather than qualifications) - Trump is also 20 years older than Kamala and many are starting to worry we have a Biden problem again where the President’s cognitive ability is declining (watch a 2016 Trump speech, it’s way different) I’m sure that I’m missing some crucial mistakes the Trump admin has made, these were all top-of-the-head as someone who is fairly plugged in politically Not saying Kamala would have been a great President, but the people still insisting she would have been much worse… that I want to understand better I laid out my side, would genuinely appreciate hearing some push back in the comments

@chinamaniac finally a good take, well done

Have listened to "The Wall" 3 X this week. Perfect album IMO David Gilmour's Black Strat guitar sold for like 15 Million last week and I think that was cheap for it

@unusual_whales @ggreenwald I love that the community note on this is “actually it was fourteen minutes not five minutes”

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@JoeyKnish22 that’s a pretty tough pace but not impossible. hiking the AT, 20-30 miles a day is pretty doable

Group chat discussion. Could you walk from Detroit to Chicago (or vice versa) and make it within a week? Roughly 270 miles. At 3mph decent walking pace you’d have to walk 13 hours a day. Consider breaks, fueling, bathroom gets you to 16, then 8 for sleep.

hey guys get a bunch of short term calls on friday afternoon i’m gonna make up some stuff about a resolution before monday open

@KirkEvans0 @BensHoops but did you watch the highlight

@BensHoops If a redraft was done today 0% chance ace bailey goes earlier than 5?

It’s crazy Ace Bailey fell to 5 in the draft. Also crazy that the 2025 draft has proven to be that loaded. And the 2026 draft is going to inject even more talent into the league.

@robpizzola because good brackets are just “I picked favorites yay” which just isn’t exciting to talk about?

First weekend of March Madness used to be nonstop bracket updates. Who's still alive, which upset killed them, etc. Absolute torture. Four days in this year and I have not seen a single person post theirs since Thursday. Did we all finally stop giving a shit?

@TheSeigeDFS @HoosCards @JonAguiar haha i’m not even agreeing with it, just pointing something out that I observed

@SharpClarkeNFL @HoosCards @JonAguiar Its replies like that remind me why she got trounced… everything for radical dems is based on race and it’s we are right and if you don’t agree you are wrong… exactly why they got bitch slapped

"I voted for this" We know. You make $42,800 a year before taxes so you weren't voting for the tax cuts

@HoosCards @TheSeigeDFS @JonAguiar not sure twitter is a fair representation of the population but seeing a MAGA get ratioed for simply criticizing the dems is a pretty stark contrast to where we were a year ago

@TheSeigeDFS @JonAguiar Think about how retarded you have to be to think the pedophile grifter was better than the brown woman because she was brown and a woman. There’s literally no comparison that her policies and history are infinitely better. Y’all not recognizing that isn’t her fault, you moron.

@IainMacBets but when are you going to randomly get $5k on one game, I hear once you start gambling that kind of thing is inevitable

Betting $100 Every Day for a Year: Day 76 $20: Saint Louis +12.5 (-105) $20: Houston -10.5 (-110) $20: Gonzaga -6.5 (+100) $20: Illinois -10.5 (-110) $20: Nebraska +1.5 (-105) Yesterday: 3-2 (+$31.66) YTD: 136-156-1 (-$287.78)

@iamrahstradamus @FezzikSports there are worse things haha

@SharpClarkeNFL Makes sense. Also @FezzikSports never responds to me on here. I really have so many questions for him but I’m completely invisible to him I here.

The question I have for you is, do you do this in the regular season too? Do you do this in other sports or just college basketball? There’s hundreds of college basketball and football games on every week or is this specifically reserved for march madness?

lol now the guy who wrote an article called “my year as a degenerate gambler” says he never claimed to be addicted, almost like he was cosplaying the whole time? x.com/mckaycoppins/s…

in other words, once his free roll from the atlantic ran out he never risked his own money and won’t ever gamble, so he wasn’t addicted at all cool anti-betting cautionary tale!

@GerryAttric2 @PlusEVAnalytics @FezzikSports he’s not precluding himself from doing both?

@SharpClarkeNFL @PlusEVAnalytics @FezzikSports even if he has a theo +ev bet, his ev is less than a percent. he could log on to any book and pick some random bet and find triple his ev.

I would be massively embarrassed NOT to bet AZ -8000 That's ridiculous.

@GerryAttric2 @PlusEVAnalytics @FezzikSports I don’t do it, but that’s not really my point here

@SharpClarkeNFL @PlusEVAnalytics @FezzikSports it's not a small win. A ok to bet huge money lines, but not in higher variance atmospheres. Neutral locations, unfamiliar site lines, weird crown dynamics, completely unfamiliar opponents, etc.

@PlusEVAnalytics @FezzikSports I love a good fezzik pile-on but this is kinda silly, nothing wrong with small wins

@FezzikSports You're 16x closer to not betting it than to betting it

@mckaycoppins @IainMacBets your article’s title is literally “my year as a degenerate gambler”

@IainMacBets I never said I was addicted to gambling, and don’t believe I was. I signed a self-exclusion form to cut myself off, because I didn’t like what it was doing to me. I’m sorry if that doesn’t fit your preferred view of gambling, Lain.

It's been one week since @TheAtlantic published my April cover story on America's sports betting boom. The reactions have been really interesting. A few observations below:

@jlarkytweets part of why it’s frustrating

@SharpClarkeNFL This story actually had so much potential (if they chose almost anyone else on staff haha)

@IainMacBets Looks like they have basically beaten every lower seed and lost to every higher seed?

We need to start having a conversation about how much of a fraudulent NCAA Tournament team Saint Mary's is. One Sweet 16 in 14 tournament appearances since 1989.
