Of course, if you could back up your opinion that asserts that "Folks like Black athletes only as long as they do nothing but entertain", with some objective facts, then maybe you have an issue worth discussing.

You have not shown that to be a reflection of most modern fans POV..

It's just a list, mostly reflecting attitudes from decades ago.

So, no, not cooperating. And his daughter in law is ignorant.

But this raid is small potatoes on a national scale.
Tsk, tsk.
Guess you missed the MSNBC memo.
Do not call it a raid.
And even if it is small it grows when reasons are buried, just like potatoes.

Gee, are you suggesting this is a big deal and Trump is not cooperating?
Until we know what was in the warrant it could be a very big deal.
Trump can release it any time he wants.

The big deal is the republican party operates entirely as a criminal enterprise with elements comprised of foreign agents and entities.

Some proof was at Mar a Lago. Now it is being picked over by a filter team as per a court order.

Trump won't release it because if he did then Repubs can't push conspiracy theories all through the election cycle.  And also the warrant is probably sound, so he can't reveal anything that's based on something flimsy or is "an abuse."

Why would Trump do that, given his ego?
To show it was an inappropriate use of police power, or the show that there was no basis for the warrant and he was being targeted for political reasons. Except it was not, there was, and he is not. As every pearl clutching liar posting or broadcasting in the right wing bubble to gin up their bovine followers knows full well.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Nixon would survived Watergate impeachment(but not the taint of scandal) had he voluntarily turned over the tapes.
With Trump already pledging cooperation the democrats better come up with something or run the risk of negating the whole Jan6 hearings.

Trump has the warrant... He should produce it... like the Obama birth certificate.

Produce the warrant or shut the fuck up.

The DOJ attorney who executed the search warrant? APPOINTED BY TRUMP.

The FBI Director who signed off on the search warrant? APPOINTED BY TRUMP.

The judge who looked at the evidence and approved the search warrant? APPOINTED BY TRUMP.

Griner was protesting for justice in the case of Breonna Taylor who in 2020 was killed in her bed during a police raid for a guy who was a FORMER boyfriend.


Last week the DOJ brought charges against the cops after Louisville and State AG just said fuck it.

Her stand for justice was just as legit as Kaps and LeBron.

Protesting injustice is a patriotic act.
