Rep. Yassamin Ansari of the House Oversight Committee just said on CNN that there are "thousands" of mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files, including a suggestion that Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 -- when he was sitting president -- on Epstein Island.
Oh, OK.

I think last night was huge for Duncan Robinson. He had been hesitant to put up shots when he only had a sliver of space (understandable on a new team), but last night, he was firing them up.
I think a good reminder for him of what we brought him in to do.

It isn't like the Bulls are ice cold. They're 40% from 3 right now, and down 16.

Pistons have to at least hand out free Little Caesars to everybody as an apology.
Add Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren to the injury report as out. Pistons without those 2, plus Stewart, Harris, Sasser, Thompson and Ivey.

It's proven that Trump and Epstein were good friends and liked young women. But that's not enough for a lot of these people because the idea of Donald Trump and 19 year olds would actually REINFORCE their existing views of what makes him such a strong and virile figure. And what's the lower bound?

100% agree. If I didn't have a nice PC, if The Steam Machine would have me so excited.
The Steam Machine will live or die on its pricing, I think, but it's hard not to be bullish. SteamOS is fantastic and the Steam Deck has been my most-used gaming machine since it came out nearly four years ago

Don't get why all these Dems can't say what is obvious - Trump raped children. Say it. Say it again. Say it over and over
Let's just use our common sense here: it seems pretty clear why Donald Trump has fought tooth and nail against releasing the Epstein files.
Way past time to release the files.

Look, Donald Trump may have had a lengthy, well documented friendship with America’s most famous pedophile, and he may have spent decades giving quotes like “if there’s one thing I love, its beautiful girls—young ones, too,” but I just need 4-5 more drops of damning evidence to buy these accusations

And somehow that feels like underselling it.
Duren has been downgraded to questionable. Pistons might be without four of their five starters tonight
Two new additions to the injury report: Cade Cunningham (left hip contusion) is questionable tomorrow vs the Bulls. Jalen Duren (right ankle sprain) is probable.
Isaiah Stewart (left ankle sprain) is doubtful. Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson remain out.

I actually believe in them MORE after the last three. Three good teams, and only Milwaukee got out of hand, and that was in the 4th during a Giannis takeover.
But the 40% from 3 isn't going to last. It'll be interesting seeing how they adjust when shots aren't falling.

The Bulls are in free fall after a three-game losing streak.
Is their good fortune running out? Do they simply lack star power? Or is something else knocking the Bulls off track after their 5-0 start?

Chicago Bulls have lost 3 straight. Is their good fortune leveling out? Or do they simply lack star power?
The Chicago Bulls stand by the belief that their game plan offers a strong opportunity to win. But for the last three games, they’ve struggled to carry out that scheme.
