Biased garbage, just like most of our news outlets. Honestly, CNN is objectively the highest quality, but you get what you pay for.

Babić is a hypocrite with a massive complex.

Back when the Advance group first launched, they felt like a heavy-handed Russian influence operation. Honestly, I haven't kept up enough to know what their current agenda is; perhaps things have shifted somewhat. 🤷

Man, if Anderson finds out you guys are hating on him here, he’s gonna have a field day with this

Seriously though, the President’s hair is going absolutely wild lately, it’s like he hasn't seen a barber since the last election 🤣

And by the way, he just went on again about how everything he’s doing is basically the absolute peak of leadership

Quote:“Our whole political objective was to build enough stability to actually get these reforms through, and we’ve delivered that for the nation; the US is in a significantly stronger position regarding our major capital priorities now than it was back in 2016”Yeah, right, because he totally pushed those reforms through 🤦

Honestly, if you look at all the reforms he’s pushed through, the judicial overhaul is easily the most effective one by far, especially since Saucha is going to cruise through his entire four-year term in Congress while getting tied up in court over some absolute nonsense that should have seen him convicted ages ago.
And don't even get me started on Bandić.
The whole judicial reform thing 🙏🙏🙏

I still can't quite wrap my head around the fact that they've shut down all the shops on Sundays, supposedly because of these new health mandates.

And what exactly are you even stressing about, kid? There are literally thousands of bigger problems hitting this country right now.

Oh, you know, like how much influence religious groups have over the government? I mean, given how much money is constantly flowing their way, I guess I can't really agree that it isn't one of the biggest issues facing America today.

Yeah, sure, we fund the priests because they're out there working shifts at the local grocery store.

🤦 🤣

Honestly, this has nothing to do with going to church. Like, at all. How yes no?

The funniest part is definitely those folks who write articles saying they're totally against Sunday shopping, but then you see them out doing their big Sunday shopping spree!🙏

restlesssurfer97 said:The way Google marketing became the lifeblood for news sites has basically birthed this absolute monster of clickbait journalism we've been stuck with for the last decade or so, and honestly, I think that’s a massive reason why everything spiraled into such widespread panic. People's genuine fear regarding the virus got multiplied dozens of times over by these outlets, and well, we all saw how that played out. I'm telling you, there are going to be endless scientific studies on this exact phenomenon, probably enough doctoral theses to fill a library. Mark my words.

I was diving into some documentaries about the Great Depression back in '29 and '31 a few months ago, and it really hit me that if people hadn't gone into that frantic frenzy of rushing to the banks to pull their deposits, the crisis might never have reached the catastrophic levels it actually did. Panic is a wild thing, truly.

There is no virus out there capable of spreading as rapidly as the fear itself.

wiredrider9 isn't exactly looking to turn this forum into a political debating club, unless, of course, the topic happens to align perfectly with his own agenda. In those specific cases, he'll dive right in.

He’s also quite the vocal advocate for the American tax system...

Noted.

Just keep twisting my words and putting things in my mouth, why don't you?

They’re just pandering to retail workers because election season is right around the corner.

I just finished watching those next two episodes about the Bulls last night. We’re four episodes in now and there hasn't been a single mention of Kukoc. It’s like he didn't even play for the team. 🤦

The only time they even bring him up is some quick clip of Jordan yelling at him during practice, or you catch a glimpse of him sitting on a plane or standing in a hallway somewhere.

Yeah, I caught onto that too, but once you really sit down and chew on it, you realize they’ve basically spent four whole episodes just circling around three guys—Jordan, Pippen, and now Rodman—and even when they take those little trips down memory lane, they haven't even moved past that first three-peat era where > wasn't even in the mix yet, so I think it's way too early to say he’s being sidelined, though honestly, if he just spoke up a bit more during interviews, he could have definitely made himself heard.

The voting at the Hall of Fame is basically a free-for-all where whoever shows up decides the outcome. I honestly can’t wrap my head around how Rajдко made the cut while Toni was left out in the cold.

I suppose we’re all just following the lead of voters like ☕
Jessica Gonzalez.

Kukoc was easily our greatest basketball player, period. Probably the most successful, too.

I think Drazen would have been better—actually, I'm pretty sure he would have been—but unfortunately, his passing meant we never got to see that happen.

And honestly, it’s a total disgrace that Kuki isn't in the Hall of Fame.

It’s honestly just gonna be one of those days where Rob comes over with his Uncle Johnny, acting all high and mighty, trying to convince us that Kobe or LeBron actually top Michael Jordan.

If LeBron actually had Jordan's mindset, he’d probably be a better player.

But I guess Jordan was just mentally unhinged.

Maybe Kobe was just a few steps behind that level of obsession.

Wait, who even is Michael Kroner? I haven't really kept up with his stuff lately, and seeing him with those glassy, glazed-over eyes made me want to go down a Google rabbit hole, though I honestly couldn't be bothered to actually do it. And that glass sitting right there on the table... is he just totally open about being a heavy drinker or what? Does anyone here actually know the deal with him well enough to give me the full rundown?
