@lecternleader You’re a criminal, loser.

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security. USF denied my reentry into college. I had to fight to get my guns rights back. My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk. My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me. We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.

@frankytank007 @SteveThunderfan @HPbasketball Were you drunk when you typed this out Frank?😂

@Payne98C @SteveThunderfan @HPbasketball Only loser don’t like OKC style. Keep on losing in the rel world

Feel like anyone complaining about OKC’s physicality in this series without saying the same for the Spurs is really betraying some bias lol. Both teams are playing physical as hell. This is Mortal Combat, man, enjoy it.

@JLBNT3 @HPbasketball

To be clear, Wemby is standing outside of his boundary and crossing over into Chet’s area. Chet pointed it out, Wemby stayed, and Chet stepped where he’s entitled to be. Wasn’t malicious, and the blame is on Wemby.

@Cam_Jourdan @HPbasketball Thunder fans are funny. SGA is boring as shit. Everyone is rooting for The Spurs. Facts.

NBC broadcast hasn’t mentioned Thunder’s second best player leaving with an injury but sure is pointing out every little thing with Wemby Imagine if they showed every time SGA was grabbed

@KeganReneau @HPbasketball Your boy is a flopper. The reputation follows. Nobody enjoys watching him play.

Haven’t heard or read a single talking head talk about SGA being mauled for the second straight series

@On3 @JoeTipton @GoodmanHoops

BREAKING: Pro forward Saliou Niang has committed to LSU, @GoodmanHoops reports🐯 Niang was selected No. 58 by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025 NBA Draft. on3.com/news/italian-f…

@realDonaldTrump Fuck off old man.

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@MelatKirosCO @daveweigel Not worth an impeachment. Get a grip.🙄

I’m calling for an investigation and articles of impeachment for Governor Jared Polis and his commutation of Tina Peters. Tina Peters was convicted on seven counts, including four felonies, for allowing unauthorized access to Mesa County’s voting system, lying to investigators, and obstructing the Colorado Secretary of State. She was sentenced to nine years by a jury of her peers. The Republican prosecutor who put her there called it the most aggravated attempt to influence a public servant he had ever seen. While Governor Polis has the authority to commute that sentence, he expressed no interest in doing so until Donald Trump pressured him to. Like so many of our elected leaders in this moment, the Governor chose appeasement and capitulation over democracy. A governor who uses a constitutional power to assist an unlawful federal coercion scheme has violated his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution and Colorado’s independence. This is grounds for impeachment. I am calling for an immediate investigation into any collusion between Jared Polis and the Trump administration. I am also calling on the Colorado State Legislature to convene a special session to consider articles of impeachment against Governor Polis. The election officials of Colorado fought honorably to protect your vote. Jared Polis undid that work by buckling to Trump’s threat to withhold public funds from hungry Colorado children, clean water, and disaster relief. My generation has seen the consequences of Democrats not standing up for justice, and we refuse to continue down this path. We are sick of corporate politicians putting their donors, ambition, and privilege ahead of real people. The answer to authoritarianism is not accommodation. Donald Trump‘s corrupt acts compound one after the other, and if we allow this corruption to go unanswered, it will erode what little is left of our democracy.

@RealMatSmith He’s doing just fine coaching the Jaguars. Deion needs to focus on coaching his sorry ass team. Nobody is more arrogant than 3-win Deion.😂

We learned last year that Liam Coen’s arrogance is staggering in many ways. That’s a phonecall that should have been made immediately but will never come.

@HPbasketball Connelly’s sole mission was to build a team to defeat Denver. That included Rudy. He succeeded in that. The problem is there is OKC and SA you have to beat too.

They have had one of the best defenses in the NBA with Rudy. The Rudy trade worked. It just did. Process, results, underlying metrics.

@HPbasketball Who is watching the NBA on Amazon.? The NHL playoffs are happening on tv.

Pistons changed some coverage in this one, played a lot higher in drop and more at level, but they're really not used to the coverage and the Cavs knew the mechanisms and how to get to what they wanted pretty easy.

@JonRothstein These tournaments splitting brackets is exhibit D of how college basketball is dying.

Sources: Memphis, Wake Forest, and Penn State will be part of a second four-team bracket at the Battle 4 Atlantis. The fourth team is currently TBD.

@YahooSports @Balldontlie

Can the Lakers become the first team EVER to come back from 0-3 in the playoffs? 😬

@denverpost Is this what AI will be? @denverpost we have the best team in the league. Hire a beat writer.

While the Avs were the NHL’s best regular-season team at 5-on-5 and on the penalty kill, they struggled at times in other game states — on the power play, during 3-on-3 overtimes and the shootout among them. denverpost.com/2026/05/09/ava…

@awfulannouncing Adam Silver and the owners decided to put 1/2 the playoffs on streaming services. So no, I’m not watching either.

Bill Simmons had to fire back against accusations that he's not watching the NBA Playoffs after a viral mistake. awfulannouncing.com/nba/bill-simmo…

It is unfortunate that @berniemoreno continues to fund and enable his daughter’s malicious campaign to ruin my life despite his knowledge of her mental health issues. Bernie, this must be distracting from your job. These antics harm your own grandchild. Anytime you want to put a stop to this, you can.

@BenMullin @brianstelter We would be a healthier country without the 24 hr news channels….and social media.

Rupert Murdoch statement on Ted Turner's passing: "Ted Turner’s vision for 24-hour cable news transformed the media industry and gave viewers everywhere a front seat to witness history unfold. His impact as a trailblazer has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. He was a great American and friend.”

@AltitudeSR @RadioMoser @VicLombardi @BrettKaneRadio @AltitudeTV Adelman has to go. Need to bring in an experienced head coach. Would love Donovan but the Kroenkes are too cheap for him. Gordon has to go. Wouldn’t be heartbroken if Jamal went too. Christian Braun is hot garbage.

“You saw it with your own eyes. There’s something off in that room…I don’t know if it’s a player, players, but there’s something in that room that just doesn’t click right now.” Nuggets have a loooong offseason ahead of them. What changes do you want to see? #MileHighPlayoffs

@lisakashinsky @politico @andrewjfhoward @RepJeffries @hakeemjeffries George Washington’s quote about the danger of political parties to the future of this country is so appropriate these days. Both Parties are killing our democracy with the stupid gerrymandering. Not good.

NEWS: House Minority Leader HAKEEM JEFFRIES tells me he’s eyeing at least 4 states for Dems to redraw maps ahead of 2028, post-Callais. “We will be prepared to respond in states like New York, Illinois and Maryland, as well as in Colorado.” w/@andrewjfhoward @politico
