I am becoming of the opinion that Marco Rubio would be harder for the Democrats to beat in 2028 than Jd Vance.
I like both men and I will vote for whoever wins the primary.
But, Rubio's combination of experience and respectability makes him a very hard target for the Democrats.
There's almost no opposition research that would work against Rubio.
Most attacks would bounce right off him.
My gut on this Iran thing:
They cut a deal In time for summer driving season. Gas drops a lot, and trump takes a victory lap and said he won around the time Labor Day hits and folks start paying attention to politics.
Let’s not forget how viciously the Democrats and the mainstream media treated Rudy Giuliani because he had the courage to defend Donald Trump when no one else would.
@Heat_Muse Take out Bam and put Gobert and I bet we're top 5 defensively. People.wont admit that Bam is an average defensive player because like Trump voters, its easier to play naive than admit Bam was the mistake. HEAT should've built around Butler.
This season, the Heat were elite offensively…
but defensively? They were getting cooked:
• 22nd in opponent points allowed
• 26th in rebounds allowed
• 22nd in field goals allowed
• 28th in field goal attempts allowed
So uncharacteristic of Spo 😔
@ChimayBlue@SenRickScott@snorman1776@ScottforFlorida has been showing his true colors recently and it’s very disappointing. Clearly eyeing a 2028 run or is in deep with someone else that can’t have DeSantis winning. The Swamp creatures are a dying breed and need to be called out.
This is concerning. Florida’s jobs numbers continue to get worse.
Unemployment shot up to 4.7% — higher than the national average.
Florida lost almost 38k jobs year over year in March.
Spoelstra got us convinced that Duncan Robinson doesn't get playtime because of defense. Here is Duncan helping holding the magic to 19 straight misses in a must win game in the playoffs. Same Magic that beat the Heat 5 times this season. Maybe coaching has been Heat's issue?
We need to have a serious conversation about Eric Spoelstra. The same Duncan Robinson he doesn't give playing time has helped lead the Pistons to #1 in East. And just helped lead a comeback in a must win game 6 after being down 24
The defensive personnel Spo Bam and a hobbled Jimmy had to work with against Jokic Murray and Aaron Gordon in the NBA Finals
Gabe Vincent
Max strus
Cody zeller
Kevin love
Caleb Martin
Duncan Robinson
Kyle Lowry
Thanks Pat Riley
This is the same Jokic that Bam Adebayo cant get a win against in almost a decade. But Heat fans swear Bam is a franchise player. We have suffered sha.
@HeatvsHaters They're even more delusional now, thinking a team that can't make the playoffs is one player away from a championship - and that's after trading all near future assets and their rising stars.
Barry Jackson was cooking the Heat:
“The thing I blame the most for is faith that was unjustified in this roster. I would go to bed sometimes just in disbelief that smart, accomplished people could have thought this team was capable of anything.
Don’t you think that a team that blows that many leads, has a fundamental flaw and the mix needs to change?”

@HeatCulture13@flasportsbuzz Giannis will sign 2 years, just to go back to Milwaukee when they've used the assets to rebuild while Miami will be stuck mid for another decade
The Miami Heat potential trade package this summer for Giannis, per @flasportsbuzz
- Kel’el Ware
- Tyler Herro
- 3 first round picks
- 2 pick swaps
- Any young player the Bucks want (ideally not both Larsson and Jaquez if possible)

@panafricanpac The Man on the Left Built America. He fought for America in every War. He is the Civil Rights Movement that allows Immigrants to come into America! The Man on the Right ran away from fixing his own country. He came to America for Money & Free Benefits, NOT to Build Anything.
@Domthgreat@panafricanpac Who's that? Black Americans don't believe in none of that King, Royal Blood Bullshit. Black Americans built 107 HBCU's and Hundreds of Black Museums to Chronicle "Our Unique Cultural Development". No other people on Earth have been studied as much as Black Americans have.
@haadka How's it good news for us. Have you thought about how this affects the petrodollar? Trading in Yuan is not exactly good for us crude oil and we wont be able to compete.
Implication of UAE leaving OPAC:
Economically
- Good for us: cheaper prices due to higher supply
- The UAE will no longer be subject to strict production caps, meaning more cash flow for Abu Dhabi.
- Bad news for OPEC producers, especially at a very sensitive time
Politically
- The UAE is cashing in the credit it gained from the war: being let down, despite being the main country attacked by Iran
- The most consequential step the UAE has taken since its rift with Saudi Arabia
- Explains the emergency GCC meeting
- Saudi Arabia may possibly start seeking a middle ground with the UAE across various geopolitical files.
Overall:
a big day for realism.
