I still can't believe Republicans passed up essentially this same aid bill PLUS a huge increase in border security, only to later pass the foreign aid with nothing else. Duhhhh. Great negotiating guys!

Bright Side weighs in on Game 1 and on the series:

In seasons where the Suns aren't in the playoffs or have already been eliminated, I'm able to just watch the games impassively and enjoy them without stressing about any outcomes. I kind of already feel that way this year. We might beat Minny, we might not. It doesn't really matter. There is no way ...

I don't think girl problems are to blame for Booker's performance on the court. I think the problem is we have shitty roster construction, even about fundamental things like who should run the offense, who should guard whom, or who should take the last shots in crunch time.

Do you realize that not one road team won game 1 of the playoffs?

This gives me some hope. We lost badly, but every road team lost, and several good teams had bad losses. It was just one game.

Looks like RFK is going to get himself on the ballot in some states. Harry Enten (formerly of FiveThirtyEight) believes RFK's presence hurts Trump more than he hurts Biden. I'm not so sure.

One of Trump's top VP candidates, Kristi Noem, says she doesn't support abortion, not even in cases of rape or incest. But I was told this was not the mainstream GOP position???

Nodding.

I think we would agree that it's pretty freaking hard to find a jury of people who don't have strong opinions already about Trump. And, for what it's worth, I'm not sure how much you can really trust people who have no opinion about the guy. It's like, where have you been the past 7 years? Would you...

Republicans busted for illegally trying to trick black people and suppress their votes.

Joel Embiid with some ball handling:

Hooray! The US House finally passes its Ukraine aid bill. The margin wasn't even close, showing how much MAGA extremists have been blocking a clear majority from making law.

I picked Suns in 6 in the playoff prediction thread. And they could still win this series. But I don't know what I was thinking predicting anything good for this team. One of the most frustrating "good" Suns teams ever.

Let's goooo

I’m regretting my Magic pick in this one…Cavs are better

Yeah, same ... I kind of forgot that the Magic don't really have anybody who can score, and the Cavs have Mitchell who is happy to take big shots. Oops.

I just want a fair jury.

Seconded. Judge the case on the evidence and merits and the law.

If you are rooting for Trump to get off with a hung jury, here's the best chance of it that I've seen so far. One of the jurors admits that they get their news from *Truth Social*. I can't believe they let a person like that on the jury. Oh well. https://twitter.com/jackhealyNYT/status/1781482506472...

From my brief reading about Mr. On Fire, it seems like he wasn't 100% in command of his mental faculties. I feel bad for the guy.

Free speech!

If you write a post that has the word "cisgender" in it, they flag your post with a message underneath that says it uses "hate speech."
