---The ‘Russian asset’ and the ‘warmonger’: The roots of the Clinton-Gabbard dispute
The hard feelings between the two Democrats date back to the 2016 presidential primary.---

Seems like there were two main spheres of influence. The Saudi Isis rebels and and the anti-Isis allies. HRC was an asset of Saudi oil money in Libya and in Syria.

More than two months before the phone call that launched the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Ukraine’s newly elected leader was already worried about pressure from the U.S. president to investigate his Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy gathered a small group of advisers on May 7 in Kyiv for a meeting that was supposed to be about his nation’s energy needs. Instead, the group spent most of the three-hour discussion talking about how to navigate the insistence from Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, for a probe and how to avoid becoming entangled in the American elections, according to three people familiar with the details of the meeting.

Republican congressmen had a very weird way today of finally admitting that Gore beat Bush in 2000.

It’s sad when ordinary crackers finally succumb and fall into the status of habitual offenders.

Kudos to Shaq O’Neal


as American people we do a lot of business in China and they know and understand our values and we understand their values. And one of our best values here in America is free speech. We’re allowed to say what we want to say and we are allowed to speak up about injustices and that’s just how it goes. And if people don’t understand that, that’s something that they have to deal with.

... Daryl Morey was right. Whenever you see something wrong going on anywhere in the world, you should have the right to say, ‘That’s not right.’ And that’s what he did... When it comes to business, sometimes you have to tiptoe around things, but again, they understand our values. … We have the right to speak, especially with social media. We’re going to say whatever we want to say, when we want to say it.


As several others have observed

We understand China’s values and look the other way at them, why can’t they do the same for us? If LeBron and Adam Silver can shrug off mass internment of religious minorities in concentration camps and collect the $ billions in TV revenue China NBA viewers provide then the Chinese ethnostate bullies might reasonably be expected to shrug off one tweet by a team executive in support of Hong Kong.
No one can literally fill Shaq’s Nikes. And LeBron is woefully inadequate even in a figurative state.
