Time to switch off the NBA until it and all its players see the light.
See the light of what the anthem and flag mean...and how they came about. See the sacrifices made by so many to create them.
...and stop disrespecting them.

The NBA will not miss your extensive patronage and isn’t dependent on you labor. Sorry. Please fuck off.

News round up:
Quote
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) says it would be a “double standard” to fill a Supreme Court vacancy before 2021 & “would not support it.”

That's two senators. Two more are needed. Maybe Sasse and Romney? I am sure that Susan Collins would be concerned, but sure that whomever Trump nominated should a vacancy occur would be fine.

Quote
The Dept. of Justice says they’ve completed their review of 29 FISA warrants that were flagged by the IG for being out of compliance and have found only 2 material errors and found that all of the applications contained sufficient basis for probable cause, a statement says.

I am sure that all the up-in-arms GOP folks will be reassured and stop claiming that the process was illegal and inappropriate. Aren't you?

Quote
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. could be investigating President Donald Trump and his company for possible insurance and bank fraud, the prosecutor’s office revealed in a new court filing.

That revelation came in a filing by Vance’s office that urged a federal judge to toss out Trump’s new legal effort to prevent prosecutors from getting his tax returns and other records from his accountants through a grand jury subpoena.

I am sure our LAW AND ORDER folks, Kid, Ward, and Bambi, will all come out in support of DA Vance's efforts and urge the president to turn them over. Right?

The president, ever willing to consider questions, responded:
Quote
“This is just a continuation of the witch hunt. It’s Democrat stuff,” Trump told reporters. “They failed with Mueller. They failed with everything. They failed with Congress. They failed at every stage of the game. This has been going on for three and a half, four years.”

“This is a continuation of the worst witch hunt in American history,” he said before adding that he knew nothing about the investigation.

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Trump Administration.

Roy Cohn would be so proud!

Kiid’s people all seem to be motherfuckers.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-fires-officers-ak-47-day-after-refusing-wear-mask-n1235652

So... he shot at people on consecutive days, including police on the second day with an AK-47... and he's alive. Must be a coincidence that this (WHITE) man isn't dead or even close to it.

And now we know where Kid is getting his bogus "chickenhawK" shit.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/04/media/right-wing-media-biden-trump-debate/index.html

Right-wing media focuses on 'imaginary controversy' suggesting Biden won't debate Trump

Why? Because They have NOTHING else to talk about, wrt Biden! So, they are inventing shit to get themselves excited.

The political equivalent of a wet dream.

Wow.

Trump about as genuine as a 3 dollar bill.

With of course a picture of President Trump front and center.

Where were you when Jonathan Isaac stood as all other knelt?   Why do you ignore black and praise white for the same act?

He probably just missed it.  And his racist news sources touted the white guy standing tall.  I thought the interesting thing is Isaac, age 22, just became an ordained minister, and he's looking at it from a compassionate Christian help-everybody viewpoint. 

Personally I find Christian mythology interesting but completely silly.  And think the likelihood of you just happening to be born into the one true religion rather unlikely (born 3000 years ago, you couldn't be Christian; born in India you'd likely be Hindu or Jain or Muslim if you had a religious impulse).

Good for Isaac if that works for him and makes him a better person.  Though maybe God wanted him to kneel, as he tore his ACL soon after standing for the anthem.

He did not directly answer, instead touting his administration's handling of the pandemic.

"Well, I think we’re doing very well, and I think that we have done as well as any nation," Trump said.

The U.S. has by far the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 at 4.6 million and the most reported deaths at more than 155,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Very well.
Maybe even an A-

As far as debates, the desperate Trump people are trying to add more.
Three are scheduled from Sept 29 to October 22.  But now Trump folks are worried that's even too late as No. Carolina opens its early voting Sept 4.

Quote
Many around the president are focused on the debates as perhaps the best chance, pushing for more showdowns with Biden to increase the chance of the former vice president faltering on stage.

“A lot of people are going to start voting before Sept. 29. The idea that they would not have seen one presidential debate by then, to me, seems ridiculous,” said former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump ally. “I think we should either move the dates up or add additional debates.”

Of course folks are quite free to wait for debates and vote in October or on Election Day.  Pretty simple.

Biden probably needs to do one debate, and could skip the other 2 if he wants.
We'll see, but I'd be leaning towards one debate if I were Biden's advisors.

30 minutes from me.   Rapid City already getting more traffic.   Urgggg.   If you want a crowd most likely to sneer at masks,  distancing,  and sanitizer,  then have a biker rally.
