I identify as a dude (he/him). Thriller, I am well aware you don't like Donald. I (perhaps wrongly) assumed my views were also well enough known - but anywho, as a communist married to a trans man (indicators of a few primary reasons I might not like Don), I'm also not Donald's biggest fan. I...

You're jumping at bogeymen and being a bit prickly. Relax man. We don't always have to nor do we, I did so here and now because I found it helpful to understand where someone else might be coming from (more with a goal of understanding his voters than Donald himself).

I suppose if I were being generous I could interpret Trumps tariff proposals as an attempt to hurt China at a cost to ourselves, so a goal of sorts. Could be reasonable in a wartime situation (eg we ate some higher energy prices to hurt Russia in their war against Ukraine), but I don't see any...

Trumps tariffs in particular are dumb as hell. Broad and unfocused with no real goal. I was speaking to the tweet saying tariffs don't push production towards the home country. There are reasonable application cases for tariffs (I don't know enough to say when tariffs would be more/less...

Neat, another thing I have some common ground with Donald on. Tariffs do push (some) production back towards the home country. Yes that cost is bore by the US consumer, but the reward also is (to a lesser degree). We'd pay more to ourselves. Profit hoarding at the top is a separate issue.

They seemed about as threatening then as they do now to me, not very. Iran the country doesn't like us very much, but have little power to actually threaten the US in a serious way. As stated, the only area I'd be worried about Iran is general worry about most countries having nukes, and their...

I guess that's one view. I fairly rarely think about Iran (have one parent friend from Tehran I'll occasionally discuss politics with) and as best I can tell, they pose no serious threat to the US. The one area I guess I generally worry on is nuclear weapon proliferation, and Trump was notably...

Iranian officials have threatened all of our officials (and the US generally). Seems pretty par for the course. Donald being Donald, of course wanted to make a news story out of it.

Possible it's sponsored by Dems/those that would rather see Dems in control, make the Rs look bad and all. Though I truly don't understand Republicans messaging at this point, and what they think makes them look good. Maybe they think it makes them look good? No real idea. Seems decently...

Probably not. 1 game, no Luka, Klay is cooked, Kyrie barely cares about RS games, let alone pre-season. Think the Mavs are likely worse than last season.

Whew this is an ugly stretch.

I'm still a big Kessler fan.

Didn't the Wolves even win the Rudy minutes vs the Mavs? Actually, I should not be a bum and check myself. Game 1: +10 in 38 minutes (3 pt loss) Game 2: +1 in 38 minutes (1 pt loss) Game 3: -8 in 29 minutes (9 pt loss) Game 4: +4 in 39 minutes (5 pt win) Game 5: -23 in 26 minutes (21 pt...

Is saying the Dems can control hurricanes supposed to make me not want to vote for them? American hegemony is back.

What's up with wanting everything to turn into WWIII? I could kinda see the concern around the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (turns out the Russians were more corrupt than anticipated and their military was falling apart). But why on earth would Iran/Israel, even if they went to...

He was fine in LA as a solid mid rotation guy, I'd probably like that more for the Wolves.

Next seasons FA class is bad, I can see him getting money if he opts out (probably slightly lesser, but more years).

T-Wolves slightly worse short term (Randle is a bum and a poor fit, but Donte is pretty good). Notably worse long term, I think Rudy walks after this next season.

Randle is a bum. Horrible for Minnesota, great for Utah.

Seems fine, but generally Will hasn't wowed me so far. Haven't seen much evidence yet he can motivate guys to play defense at any sort of passable level,, which is the #1 thing I'm looking for in a good head coach.
