@redsteeze Kmele is speaking exactly to the David of 2015 and he doesn't realize it.

David has made legal arguments before the Supreme Court before and that's what makes this media online brain rot from him so disappointing. You can tell he's not convinced of the argument he's making. He's not making a legal argument here.

David French explains SCOTUS's 6–3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais. Our new episode with @davidafrench is out now.

@HPbasketball The only relevant question is whether it improves the NBA product for both the fans and the media partners February-April, and it's a definitive yes.

I have mixed thoughts on the latest lottery proposal. Hate including the play-in teams, don't want to see tanking in the play-in games. Don't mind most of it.
But there will be unintended consequences that will be harmful that we will have to have the "WE MUST DO SOMETHING" talk about later. And round and round it goes.

@WorldWideWob New owner syndrome trading everything for Giannis should worry every fan.

WATCH: CNN's Wolf Blitzer witnessed the White House Correspondents Dinner SHOOTING.
Blitzer was headed to the men's room and was near the shooter.
Per Blitzer: "All of a sudden I start hearing gunshots in the hall right near me...the next thing I knew, a police officer threw me to the ground and was on top of me... Of course first thing went through my mind, is he trying to shoot me? ... I was very close to him as the gunshots were fired."

@RBPundit It's a mirror image of how the right felt about Clinton.
English
Actually, I don’t feel like garbage.
Maybe you freaks have a mental illness?
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
"People are tried of feeling like garbage... Our nervous systems can't take it. It's 10 years of Trump. They've done us all damage." @SarahLongwell25 and @JessicaTarlov on the emotional toll of the Trump era and whether it’s still possible to rebuild a shared sense of country.
English
@IMAO_ They can't even define Trumpism besides the scary people that took away their paychecks.
English
It’s had zero effect on Trumpism and has abandoned everything conservatives care about, so I don’t get its point except to grift money from gullible anti-Trump people.
Andrew Egger@EggerDC
The Bulwark sees ending Trumpism as a viable political coalition as the more pressing goal, isn't nearly as concerned with keeping its "conservative media" credentials in good standing, and so is willing to enter a wider set of coalitions.

@503Blazerfans It's on the coach to have a plan to get the players open.

Games like this are exactly why Tiago cannot be the coach next year

Hard disagree. This is kinda nuts.

“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@AnthonyAbides Fusionism is dead, and the libertarian wing killed it.

Walsh's tweet states milquetoast conservative foundational principles and Riedl acts like a vampire being shown the cross.
Anthony Abides@AnthonyAbides
Serious question for any of the conservatives who work with Riedl at @thedispatch: What is Riedl's issue with conserving marriage, the family, and the unborn? These used to be Conservative Principles which conservatives supported not too long ago.

@redsteeze Splc as police and journalists as firefighters. A leftist dream.

The narrative they are now running with is that the SPLC was apparently a law-enforcement organization.
Daniel Goldman@danielsgoldman
The DOJ uses paid informants all the time —why is it OK for them but not the SPLC? @splcenter plays a vital role in fighting hatred, yet has been unfairly targeted by Trump and House Republicans since day one. This politicized intimidation needs to stop, now.
English
The payoff on this joke lands perfectly.

What do you think is the single funniest moment in the history of TV?

@JonahDispatch Bookmark it for when a Republican does this in the future and we get the Dispatchian "no not like that".

So many of our problems could be fixed by eliminating teachers unions.

So many of our problems could be fixed by properly funding public education.

@conservmillen Enforcement of the law is harsh, by nature and non-empathetic.
English
In one of his two NYT articles critiquing my book “Toxic Empathy,” David French claims that I argue against feeling badly for dying children.
I push back against that complete mischaracterization.
In response, French asserts: “I have seen you online, when people talk about the plight of others, you bring up toxic empathy.”
“Can you give me an example of that?”

@IVMiles He made a lot of money off putting nyc in his bio.

I think--because I was never really that involved w "Evangelical" sociology and socio-cultural positioning outside my high school--I didnt really understand why Tim Keller was so important.

Within the last 2 days we learned that:
Fans won’t receive playoff T-shirts for Games 3 & 4 at the Moda Center.
Blazers had gear in hotel lobby early to avoid late fee.
Dundon is a rich but strict budget owner shown by NHL team. Is this something to be concerned about?
English
@PinwheelEmpire They'd offer shirts but only if the city contributed half the cost.
English
How did we go from “Rip City runs deep” to “Rip City runs cheap”?
Guillermo Motta@GMottaTV
Trail Blazers President Dewayne Hankins says fans won’t receive playoff T-shirts for Games 3 & 4 at the Moda Center when they host Spurs #RipCity #NBAPlayoffs

@SamQuinnCBS Rather have swap rights with Bucks at their current trajectory.
English
Good news for both the Blazers and the Bulls: Portland will send its first-round pick to Chicago after reaching the playoffs.
Good for the Bulls because they get a pick. Good for the Blazers because they ensure they won't have to sacrifice their 2028 swap rights with the Bucks.

@rBillSimmonsPod Zach isn't an interesting enough personality for podcast entertainment, which is ultimately what I'm listening for.
English
Wow the Zach Lowe hate is going mainstream
No chance him & Bill haven't seen the feedback
Wonder if Bill switches it up next year. Simple fixes: a) don't need only Lowe every week, and b) don't need weekly NBA pods the final month of the season
scoob@MostCrucified
bill simmons and zach lowe have the most wretched chemistry in the world somethings gotta give man

@Brady12Clark Grant and Shae are an impressive duo first off the bench.
English
If it were up to me, there would be zero minutes given to Kris Murray, Sidy Cissoko, and Vit Krejci for the rest of the postseason. No more time to experiment.
The Blazers should be running a 9-man rotation with: Deni, Clingan, Toumani, Jrue, Scoot, Grant, Shae, Rob, Thybulle
English
I love Jerami Grant but he really isn’t the definition of a winning player. He left a growing Denver team lead by Jokic to go to Detroit for the same money to get more shots and has been making a bag the last 5 years on a tanking Portland team. Love bro but not much of a winner.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Jerami Grant hasn’t played a game in April since 2021 😳 (h/t @YahooSports)
