They're protesting in Detroit because the police shot a guy...that pulled out a gun and fired it at the cops

Really strong article here on the DeSean Jackson comments and the silence around it.

Guess they don't want to be anti-racist today.

I'm sure everyone will be stunned to see Russia related articles pop back up before the election. But this one seems to indicate that Strozk didn't believe Steele's dossier was legit. Can't lie, I was surprised to see this at the top of Yahoo.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen more coverage/articles about John Lewis passing. Even though over the last few years I've found myself completely rolling my eyes at some of his crazy comments, along the likes of AOC, Pelosi and Dear Leader, I certainly recognize him as one of the most influential leaders that we've had. While I may not agree with some of his policies, there's no questioning that he walks the walk and is a man of action and conviction. Nothing but incredible respect for what he did throughout his life.

Lindsey Graham just released some declassified documents regarding the Russian Collusion and how they knew there was nobody in the Trump administration was colluding. Of course we are not going to hear about that in the news

Yeah, saw the mention of it in the article, but haven't read up on it at all. Still find it really strange to see this as a lead article on Yahoo today. A day later, but still... this is really out of the ordinary.

Well, it's a Saturday and maybe not enough people actually read their news articles on the weekend?

I saw this and was like WTF!

You'd think someone would have gotten ahead of that and already informed him that Biden has clearly said that he's not interested in defunding/abolishing and Biden has already taken some backlash for that.

I don't really know anything about Ted Cruz, but he just went at Mark Cuban hard with one tweet, and I like Cuban.

Basically, some Dallas radio host guy said if any Mavs players kneel for the Anthem, he's done with the Mavs. Cuban tweeted a 1 word response, "bye" and then went on a rant for a couple of tweets about those who don't condone kneeling for the anthem.

I guess Ted Cruz got wind of that and tweeted about it, but he didn't tweet directly at Cuban. So here you can see Cuban telling Cruz to have some balls and tweet to him and Cruz's response.

2 hours later, not a single tweet since from Cuban

[shel311]

Apparently Cruz kept going:

@tedcruz

Still no answer from @mcuban

Let’s try simpler. Mark, tough guy, can you say “Free Hong Kong”?

Can your players put that on their jerseys?

Can you condemn the CCP’s concentration camps w/ 1 million Uyghurs?

Can you say ANYTHING other than “Chairman Mao is beautiful & wise”?

[Weasel]

Thats, uh... thats a pretty strong jab from Cruz

Cuban is check mated. He can't speak on that.

Definitely gotta be careful telling people they don't have balls if you're coming at them while knowing you can't say anything about China, and I'm certain Mark has strong pro HK and anti China thoughts based on his opinions he shares in general.

I think that was more like a classic Mike Tyson right hook

My feelings on Cruz are all over. He was a bit of whiny bitch during his '16 run, but I think it opened him up a bit. He can be pretty entertaining and feisty at times now. But he still has some 'what are you thinking' kind of moments. When you're bar is set by The Donald and being pushed for by the likes of AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, etc... even his 'what are you thinking' moments aren't too bad.

As for Cuban, I feel like his actions and words are frequently disconnected. In one of those meaningless, long, high and mighty moments of being a prick, I said that a big issue I have is that quite a few people on the left are all about talking the talk, until they have to walk the walk. I like what Cuban's accomplished, love his energy, but this has always been a sticking point for me. Feels like at some point, he shifted gears and became very concerned about his image, instead of his convictions.

[shel311]

Cuban responded and stated he never speaks on domestic issues for other countries, so of course it didn't take very long for the Twitter sleuths to dig up old tweets where Cuban speaks on domestic issues for other countries, including supporting China on domestic stuff(not HK related)

[GeorgesGoons]

I'm a Mark Cuban fan. I think he is going to end up running for political office some time in the near future.

Cruz needs to focus his energy on keeping Texas. The republicans went from -300 to -230
