@RaheemKassam I feel completely rugpulled and disillusioned. However considering the alternative, I would still have voted for him knowing what I know now. But what a LETDOWN.

This guy donated $60K to Trump 2024 but now says he feels rugpulled. Thoughts?

@eugyppius1 He didn't campaign on ANY of this. I have also always ignored his nonsensical ramblings. His actions are all I've ever cared about. But recently his actions and non-actions have SUCKED.

My problem with MAGA and plantrusters on the Iran thing, isn't even over the war so much. I'm not a moralfag ok, I've even written that there's a certain logic to the war happening now. It's that you guys in a mad drive to make Trump into some kind of geopolitical genius deity have just churned out a reprehensible tidal wave of total shit arguments and piss-poor analysis, because apparently you find that preferable to admitting that Trump is wont to say nonsensical things while rambling to the press and nobody in his administration has developed any reasonably coherent, consistent talking points about this war.

@JoeTipton @TransferPortal @On3 Maybe, he will finally find his level.

Saint Louis forward Brady Dunlap plans to enter the @TransferPortal, he tells @On3. The 6-7 small forward averaged 7.0 points per game this season, shooting 45.1% from three. on3.com/transfer-porta…

@chicagobulls Yep, no speaking your mind. Shut up and dribble, please.

@DraftExpress These 3+ schools guys, do they even get a degree? Don't you need at least half your credits from the school that hands you the actual diploma? 🤔

NEWS: Boise State's Drew Fielder will enter the transfer portal, agent Derek Malloy tells DraftExpress. The 6'11 junior was named Second Team All-Mountain West after averaging 14.7 points in 24 minutes, shooting 41% from 3.

@ShamsCharania Shut up and dribble?

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.

@DraftExpress How many years of eligibility did this guy get? What is he like 25?

NEWS: Louisville's Sananda Fru will enter the transfer portal, agent Milan Nikolic tells DraftExpress. The 6'11 German center was the ACC's most efficient scorer, ranking among the conference's top offensive rebounders and shot-blockers. No. 2 player in the portal, per DXV.

@JoeTipton @TransferPortal @On3 @GeorgeSLangberg @GSLSportsGroup @hardwiredsports @ButlerGuru @ButlerBBHQ Every junior who has only played for one school, now feels like they MUST enter the transfer portal for their senior years.

NEWS: Butler guard Finley Bizjack plans to enter the @TransferPortal, source told @On3.

@JoeTipton @TransferPortal @On3 Gonna be a 4 schools in 4 years kinda guy. Wouldn't want him in my program. Doesn't exactly play on successful teams either.

@megynkelly Trump was sent to DC to fix the border, send back all those who illegally streamed across it during Biden era, secure elections, lower prices, drain the executive of any swampy elements, and have the DOJ hold previous wrongdoers accountable. Not start a war with Iran!

Five alarm fire - for the love of all that is holy we need to get out of Iran and work full time on ppl’s $$ worries

@_whitneywebb I have rigorous skepticism about everyone, including you. It's an exhausting stance, but certainly the correct one.

I got a lot of shit for saying why I don't trust the Joe Kent trajectory and, why I was obviously put on the spot about it and could have been more articulate, I think the points I brought up are very reasonable. If the top counter-terror spook resigns to amplify rhetoric (even if it's mostly accurate) that the current administration defines as indicative of "domestic terrorism" AND that spook was previously also funded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder and chairman of the intelligence contractor working to establish domestic terror pre-crime in the US, I think it's fair to be skeptical of him. Trump previously considered making a pre-crime program using AI to flag the social media accounts of Americans who displayed "warning signs" of violence or "mental illness". It's main advocate was Jared Kushner. There have been many recent media efforts to equate criticism of Israel to "anti-semitism" and "anti-semitism" to mental illness. Most social media giants are owned or funded by people who lied about their ties to Epstein and also contract for (or are otherwise linked to) the US national security apparatus. That same apparatus has expanded infrastructure for the supposed "War on Domestic Terror" with the blessing of every administration since George W. Bush, it is bipartisan, and they didn't just build it for no reason - they intend to use it at some point. Also, the idea that there is a "civil war" in the White House, as proposed by people like Nick Fuentes, over the Iran War only helps JD Vance, who is also tied at the hip to Palantir's Peter Thiel. I took a lot of shit in the past for my stances on Covid, on Trump being a neocon, and on Epstein's intel ties, etc. etc. way before it was "popular" to do so but which turned out to be correct. I am not here to be popular or to tell you what you want to hear. I have been early on a lot of stories that other people now take credit for after the fact. I don't care if you like me and I don't care about getting credit, I care that some of you wake the fuck up and stop swallowing every single psyop they throw at you without thinking twice about it.

@dekker He was being affectionate.

I have no bias here. This is a tech 10/10 times. For multiple reasons… it would have lost the game for his team and he would have tried to fight the officials like he did nothing wrong. I just don’t understand it at all. Also, referees need to grow a spine in instances like this.

@BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA Zach didn't watch the UConn/Duke game? Not a worthy guest in this instance.

@tsnmike That squad and Kentucky 2012 are anomalies in the history of the NCAAs. Duke also needed Coach K's legendary ability to lean on the refs to change things up in the 2nd half. Both teams also had 4-year program guys, Quinn Cook and Darius Miller, to settle the youngsters down.

@MintMaker22 In 2015, Duke started 3 freshmen. Wisconsin had none in the rotation. Duke’s hero was a freshman who came off the bench.

Duke recruited the best freshman 4 times in past 7 years. But Cooper Flagg and Paolo Banchero lost in Final Four; Zion Williamson and now Cameron Boozer didn't even get that far. Why? Because Duke's not covering itself at the most important position. sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basket…

It Spreads.

@Matt_Fortuna Bad take, but probably more likely a troll take.

My hot take that’s not really a hot take: Jon Scheyer has underachieved more at Duke than Hubert Davis did at North Carolina.

@bigeastrewind That could've killed Raff.

Here’s another view. Unapologetically. Cannot get enough.

@BillSimmons Better talk some college hoops!
