Almost like the 2024 election was so important that it would be insane for one old man to put his ego above what was good for the country.

Idk if Joe realizes no one wants to hear from him. Joe, Jill and their delusional advisors are responsible for everything that happens through 2028.

“It’s a perfect symbol of his presidency,” Biden said. “Trump has taken a wrecking ball not only to the people’s house but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, to our very democracy.”

Whatever this 2K CBB game becomes, it will suck without the full experience of all D1 programs and a dynasty mode. It feels like it'll be VC, expansion pack junk inside NBA 2K, not a real game. 👎
This is actually exactly what happened. EA rushed an announcement to spite me before they were prepared to go to market in time. 2K changed their proposal, and since EA wants licensing exclusivity, the project falls apart.
Seems like what happened here is that @mattbrown.bsky.social's report a few weeks ago caused EA to jump to make a teaser announcement so they wouldn't get scooped, but they didn't have the cards and now have to backtrack

The guy would've had to resign in disgrace if this were even the first Trump admin. Instead, in Trump 2, he's now a federal judge.

Despite the frenzy of activity, this whole operation is still full of buffoons overplaying their hand. Worth a read.

As the competition has improved, it's become more obvious that Pitt's defense and rebounding are the limiting factors this year. If they can improve defensively and not get killed on the boards, the offense can be decent enough to get by, win games and get to March. Also, they really need Dunn back.

IMO, this could be a slam dunk for Dems to move on from the Biden admin.
- Swing district Dems especially should be pro impeachment to help rehab the crumbling brand of the party in critical districts.
- Public statements against pardoning Hunter may not be enough to create separation from Biden.

Joe Biden doing this is bad. Not much else to say about it. Just because Trump pardoned his friends, his son in-law's Dad, and others doesn't justify more uses of pardons to personally benefit you or your family.
NEW: Clemency scholars & lawyers are troubled by Hunter Biden's sweeping pardon.

Some question whether the broadness of the "blanket" pardon would hold up in court if the Trump DOJ decided to bring charges.
Broad Pardon for Hunter Biden Troubles Experts
President Biden granted blanket clemency to stop his son from being prosecuted by the Trump administration for his foreign business. Experts reached for historical parallels.
