“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.” www.vox.com/politics/461...

That this not a big a deal to most of the fan base. Hart was acquitted. He will get a second chance somewhere and if he succeeds the fans won't care.

And sales taxes and the sky high cost of home owners insurance. Players are staying with the Panthers because they like winning, not because of a slightly lower tax burden.

You can't make them stop from floating garbage rumors. You can stop paying attention to them. If the info doesn't come from someone like Friedman, Dredger or Servalli just ignore it.
Miles Standoffish (@wolfpack89.bsky.social) reply parent
Everyone should remember that these articles are pure speculation. They have no real info. There was a credible report that Hart wants to avoid Canadian teams. He probably wants to stay out of major media markets as well.

Smoke is smoke. It doesn't matter what is burning. The facility runs the incinerator. If a mistake was made it's on them. These facilities also typically charge for this service. They had likely disposed of drugs many times prior to this.

I've followed the F-35 story for almost two decades. This is a humiliating setback that would have been impossible to imagine—back before an ignorant prez and a vengeful MAGA began humiliating what had been the closest and most reliable (previous) US allies.
Miles Standoffish (@wolfpack89.bsky.social) reply parent
If you read the article the cause of the incident was a mechanical malfunction. If animal carcasses were being burned the shelter would still have filled with smoke. Law enforcement routinely uses facilities like these to destroy drugs that can't be just thrown in the trash.

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed. Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign. If merit still matters, he should be fired.

They may not want to hear it, and it may incense them, but the parallels between what the Nazis did then, and what Trump and MAGA are doing today, are striking, chilling—and as any expert on authoritarianism will tell you, straight out of the same toxic, but dog-eared, playbook.

Now Trump will come out for the 150th time & say “the killing has to stop” but it’s “Biden’s war” & “both sides” are to blame for it, and he’s “going to talk to Putin” and he’s “pretty sure we will get a deal done very soon” or there will be “serious consequences” in “2 weeks.”
