  1. Amazing. Torre went through the bankruptcy filing and then checked the ownership of the random LLC that was the largest recipient of Aspire's funds. The story could have died right there but Uncle whatever listed his name as the owner of the LLC instead of figuring out how to do it anonymously.
  2. Scrolled this thread looking for more info about this bombshell
  3. Comparing the public health system of our country to civilized. nations that have universal health care is useless and misleading. That's basically the logic.
  4. I'm sure it just a coincidence that the covid death rate was higher in red states that thumbed their noses at the federal government. Pure coincidence.
  5. eh part of my response got deleted...nm
  6. "The nuclear summit in Vietnam went ahead as planned at the end of February 2019, but the talks quickly ended with no deal. By May, North Korea had resumed missile tests. Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim met once more that June in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. It made for dramatic television, with Mr. Trump even stepping across into North Korea. But the brief meeting yielded little more than a handshake." in the DMZ:
  7. fwiw Snopes has this as unconfirmed. Neither the reporter nor Underwood responded to inquiries. Report came from radar online, which they deem unreliable.
  8. xai (which now includes x) cfo, hired in April, quit in July - part of a larger eXodus.
  9. for the record, that was in response to trump xeeting a distorted photo of Rose O'Donnell. also
  10. fwiw when dubya was president
  11. This article has me feeling so ragey - those firefighters were set up by the so-called leaders of their crew.
  12. I fuckin' love that guy. It sucks that station is getting bought by nexstar fascist media.
  13. important update on enshittification
  14. the brand spankin' new Jeanine Pirro memorial has been established on 14th Street in DC
  15. Elmo is reaching for new ways to show the world what a complete fucking moronic bitch he truly is
  16. Motor Trend with a shot directly across @Guadaloopy's bow https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2023-tesla-model-y-long-range-yearlong-review-update-14-two-year-check-in There’s so much I dislike about the Model Y that I don’t even need to consider the fraught sociopolitical aspects of modern Tesla ownership.
  17. Quote by Adam Silver specifically discussing his earlier investigation into Kawhi's contract, pulled from the episode. Having now watched it, the amount of evidence Torre pulled up is relatively astounding. The source he found to go on the record ties everything together. It's a much bigger story than just salary cap circumvention. It's a pretty massive fraud, too.
  18. Ballmer is a special kind of stupid. Hopefully he'll be sent packing just like the previous owner of the Clips. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/kawhi-leonard-reportedly-paid-28-million-for-no-show-job-with-clippers-as-way-to-get-around-nba-salary-cap-125651365.html At the time of the 2019 investigation into Robertson, sources told Sam Amick of The Athletic that while no evidence of illegal benefits was found, NBA commissioner Adam Silver considers the issue "a cardinal sin of the NBA" and that the league would re-open its investigation into the situation if more evidence came to light. The NBA has not issued a statement on Torre's report at this time. Leonard originally joined the Clippers on a three-year, $104 million deal in 2019. He re-upped with the team on a four-year, $176 million extension in 2021 and then signed a three-year, $149 million extension with the team in 2024. This story will be updated.
  19. I figured the garbage being tossed out of the White House window was ai but apparently the WH acknowledged it. Plausible explanation.
