@replybri @UnderdogNBA @NBA 🚮 Season shortening is a terrible idea and exactly the opposite of a real solution. If ANYTHING, lengthen the season into July or August -- there's no excuse for 6 month vacations that the players CLEARLY don't use for proper conditioning anyway.

@BigPopz72 He came nowhere close to going too far. He was actually ridiculously restrained, there's no reason he shouldn't have attacked multiple of them.

Keep your eye on the big white fellow, who's surrounded on all sides by a crowd of wild black people, mostly female.. He's got his wife and child behind him, trying to keep them safe from these idiots.. Adrenaline pumping and daddy bear instincts.. Did he go too far? 🤔

@TheHoopCentral It's a clear as day foul. What's the issue?

De'Aaron Fox was called for a foul on SGA here. 😅

@OrevaZSN No, you're clearly just garden variety stupid -- thus your stream of stupid ideas.

“So you think people should just have free food and housing?” Yes. One of the things every government should do is ensure its citizens have food and shelter. I hate when people call me dumb for wanting a utopia. What’s the point of a species that can build one if we don’t?

@OrevaZSN You don't appear to have a firm definition of the word essential.

Why do essential human jobs that keep society running, like teachers, cleaners, nurses, and childcare workers, barely provide a livable wage, while overinflated corporate roles like AI consultants and marketing strategists get paid hundreds of thousands?

@OrevaZSN Poverty is a symptom, not a cause.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

@heatedWasabi @JustRaging01 @Paro_dee123 Thanks for the input, Nazi.

@JustRaging01 @Paro_dee123 YOU ARE the 'steaming pile of dogshit'

The truth is blacks are basically thuggish school yard bullies. In most cases they’ll only physically attack a White man when they see weakness or a vulnerability they can exploit (ie coming up from behind to sucker punch or attacking in packs) . The second you defend yourself and send them packing they’ll go running to the police to snitch like bitches. That’s when the regime will come in and do the real dirty work that incompetent black thugs cannot. This is what’s happening with the case of Chud the builder.

@heatedWasabi @JustRaging01 🤣 zie German wants to talk racism!!! Shut your ass up, Master Race!

@JustRaging01 Truth is that you are a racist piece of shit, probably a bot also

@stevenpfellows @XusernameLW610 @LibertyCappy @RonPaul A giant amongst legislators.

I didn’t want to spend time on your logical fallacy. So I handed your dumb question to Grok. Ron Paul’s biggest “achievements” aren’t the kind that show up as shiny new federal programs or pork-barrel projects—precisely because he spent decades in Congress deliberately not passing or supporting most legislation. He earned the nickname “Dr. No” for voting against bills that he saw as unconstitutional, fiscally reckless, or war-mongering. That’s not a bug; it’s the feature of his consistent, principled stance. The reply you got (“Name one thing Ron Paul has achieved…”) is a classic gotcha that equates “achievement” only with expanding government. But preventing harm and shifting ideas can be far more consequential. Here are concrete things he did achieve that made (or helped make) the country better, based on his actual record: Legislative Wins (Small but Real) •One bill he authored actually became law: In 2009 he passed H.R. 2121, allowing a federal customhouse in Galveston, Texas, to be transferred to a local historic preservation group. Minor, but it’s on the books.0 •Amendments he successfully attached to larger bills blocked funding for: ◦National ID numbers / tracking systems ◦Federal teacher certification mandates ◦U.S. military being subject to the International Criminal Court ◦Any U.N. global tax scheme ◦Surveillance of peaceful citizens exercising First Amendment rights These are quiet victories that stopped worse government overreach.0 Fed Transparency (Partial but Real Progress) •Ron Paul’s years-long push for auditing the Federal Reserve forced real (if limited) accountability. His bill gained massive co-sponsors, passed the House overwhelmingly multiple times (e.g., 327–98 in 2012), and led to the Dodd-Frank-era GAO audit of the Fed’s emergency lending during the 2008 crisis. It revealed trillions in secret bailouts to big banks and foreign entities. That sunlight never would have happened without him.25 Broader Impact (The Stuff That Actually Moves the Overton Window) •Intellectual godfather of the modern liberty movement and Tea Party. His 2008 and 2012 presidential runs exploded online grassroots fundraising, brought Austrian economics and “End the Fed” into the mainstream, and inspired a generation of young people (and his son Rand) to run for office on limited-government platforms. •Consistent opposition to endless wars, the Patriot Act (one of only three Republicans to vote no), bailouts, and the surveillance state. He was often alone in the “no” column, but those votes preserved constitutional norms and public debate. •Personal service: Before and during Congress he delivered over 4,000 babies as an OB/GYN. That’s direct, tangible good—without a government program. Critics who demand a long list of passed bills miss the point: Ron Paul’s entire philosophy was that most “achievements” in Washington make things worse by growing the state. His real legacy is educational and cultural—shifting millions toward sound money, peace, civil liberties, and skepticism of the Fed and forever wars. That influence is still rippling through politics today (see Rand Paul, the liberty caucus, etc.). If the challenger wants to measure success only by how many new laws or spending items a politician rams through, then yes—Ron Paul looks “ineffective.” But if the metric is fidelity to the Constitution and planting seeds that outlast any single session of Congress, he was extraordinarily successful. Your original point in the thread stands: Trump’s style and record are nowhere near the same universe.

Trump campaigned like Ron Paul but is governing like Barack Obama

Woke up this morning feeling so frustrated with what OKC got away with last night.. from the flopping to them fouling and grabbing the Spurs and it not being called by the refs.. DISGRACEFUL!!!

@SlowBaby420 @HulksSpirit The Liberia effort began much earlier than Lincoln (and failed mostly before him too) -- thus the capital being called Monrovia for President Monroe. Haiti was also tried (and failed) earlier by the Haitian president. Lincoln tried Cow Island, but that was also a failure.

@HulksSpirit He planned to send them to Liberia or Haiti but some retarded honky shot him.

I wish Abraham Lincoln would have put more effort into sending the blacks back after they were freed. Think of all the issues we'd have avoided from then until even present day.

@SleeperRockets Yes

True or false: The Rockets should look to re-sign Josh Okogie next season.

@NataniaMarshall Not exactly. Massie's a constitutionalist with steadfast faith in the balance crafted into the American charter. Trump's a results-driven pugilist specifically drafted to counter runaway Leftist capture of Western civilization, Constitution notwithstanding.

Thomas Massie is the Donald Trump we voted for.

@CASundancer @jebuscrisis @LilahGenX @nickshirleyy @GovTimWalz @IlhanMN "American citizens" with Israeli loyalties?

@jebuscrisis @LilahGenX @nickshirleyy @GovTimWalz @IlhanMN This is really simple. These Hasidic Jews are American citizens. Your Somali friends and other illegal’s are not.

🚨The Minnesota fraud empire is falling: Yesterday 15 fraudsters were charged and $90 million was busted. The MSM tried to cover for the fraudsters. @GovTimWalz called it "white supremacy" to expose it and @IlhanMN is completely SILENT. Independent journalism defeated an entire fraud network upheld by billions of dollars with support from corrupt politicians who allowed this fraud and the MSM who failed to report it. Major win for America and hardworking law-abiding taxpaying citizens. This is just the beginning. Arrest them all.

@EricLDaugh Bukelism isn't EXACTLY fascism (insomuch as it isn't corporatist or expansionist or racially driven) and is probably closer to Dutertist syncretism, but the degenerative effect on liberty pervades.

@EricLDaugh It's much easier to install fascism in a largely homogenous ethnostate where judicial and legislative balance is completely captured by executive fiat -- though, it's devastating to the individual liberty of non-criminal citizens. Everyone is in jail -- most in open air.

🔥 AWESOME! El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said he DESTROYED Soros influence in his country — USA needs to do the same "Who elected Soros to dictate policy and laws? Why does he feel entitled to impose his agenda? Soros and his cronies hit a BRICK WALL in El Salvador. Thank God...Salvadorans are now IMMUNE to his influence. No one believes his lies anymore over there!" @NayibBukele is a pure masterclass for Latin America. 👏🏻 Impeach the judges, rule crime with an iron fist, and BLOCK SOROS' ASSETS AND INFLUENCE! 🇺🇸🇸🇻

@JohnHHolliday17 @LilahGenX @EricLDaugh Activist judges ARE what ushered Bukelism into existence -- but, hyper-centralized executive power and "vigilantism" are hardly common bedfellows.

Leftist rot is too pervasive in America for a Bukele-style solution. But then again, from Grok: Vigilantism—citizens taking the law into their own hands—often emerges when people perceive the formal justice system as ineffective, corrupt, too slow, or biased, leaving communities feeling unprotected.

@nickshirleyy @GovTimWalz @IlhanMN Arrest them? Why? So they can continue to get room, board, and healthcare on American taxpayers' dimes?! Why does this require a humane response?!

@MWill2025 If I see one, I'll pass along your barrel of laughs.

@RocketsFan512 Do better White man, be better. 👍🏽

To the people that say not 1 ship are most likely gay 🔥 Lupita Nyong'o is hella sexy.

@MWill2025 You knuckle-dragging simians have such low awareness you think your every opposition is White. Shortsightedness makes conquest easy.

@RocketsFan512 White men are so down bad that their only high in life is being online trolls. What happened to 'we're superior'? 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Do better White man, be better.
