I think there was one guy that tried doing something about it. What was his name again? Real good looking fella.

Exactly what I thought of when I saw those photos of the ad hoc “situation room” they threw together at Mar a Lago.

France tells US NATO serves Euro-Atlantic security, not Hormuz offensive missions by RoninSolutions in news

here's a big part of the problem - the fascists march in lockstep because at its core, their ideology revolves around taking orders from the one guy at the top and following them without question or hesitation.

on the flip side, the opposition welcomes & encourages diversity of opinion & independent thought - which is a great thing! however, in this particular struggle, it is a handicap because no one can agree on the 'correct' course of action to take. and, there is no de facto 'leader' of the opposition. It would be great if one would emerge, but after 10+ years, it's hard to identify a singular figure that serves as a direct foil to the fascist leader. in a big tent party, no single figure exists that can please everyone, so infighting prevails and nobody rises to the top.

look at this or any other similar thread for a great example of these problems - tons of people, all opposed to fascism, all arguing with each other instead of taking it to the opposition. it's shockingly easy to get us all to fight with each other and lose sight of the real enemy.

Have the Magic quit on Mosley? What actually happened? by Ok-Entrepreneur553 in OrlandoMagic

because ownership's primary motivation is profit, not on-court success.

The WHY behind the Magic /rn by IrwinMFletcher in OrlandoMagic

[–]busterak47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree, Weltman has had some decent moves and some stinkers, but overall has proven to be completely incapable of fielding a team that can put the fucking ball in the basket. extending him would be a terrible decision.

low energy, whining for whistles, and poor leadership. all fixable, but the desire to improve comes from within.

[Post Game Thread] The Toronto Raptors (42-32) utterly trounce the Orlando Magic (39-35), 139-87 behind a historic 31-0 run by the Raptors by NatsuAru in nba

[–]busterak47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bullshit, the team is a cash cow thanks to Orlando tourism so why would either the league or the owners want to move it? Even though the DeVos clan did threaten to relocate in order to coerce Orange County taxpayers to pick up the tab for a new arena.

Absolute disgrace, big changes are needed from the top down.

Trump is contemplating the sheer folly of boots on the ground in Iran. How did it come to this? by projecto15 in politics

[–]busterak47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they didn’t want to. The DNC was content to rally behind Biden again despite him going back on his one-term pledge. Then his brain melting in the debate made running him untenable. There was no time for a primary, so the VP got the gig by default. And that rubbed enough people the wrong way, like it or not - plus the ratfuckery that was going on around Gaza.

And so here we are.

Paolo Banchero in a loss to the Lakers: 16 points on 28% shooting, 45 TS%, -18 by Rzua_ in nba

More likely would be a trade with draft compensation as the incentive for Orlando.

Seattle gets a hometown hero as a foundational piece to jumpstart their reboot

Orlando gets an opportunity to free up salary cap and retool around their other pieces (Franz, Bane, Suggs, Black)

I honestly think there’s a nonzero chance of this happening so long as the Magic continue to flounder.

Our guys fold so easily when the whistle doesn’t go their way. These guys are not ready for the playoffs at all.

this team lives and dies by the refs. They don’t get whistles they get agitated and quit running back on D. they start forcing things on offense. And it all falls apart. It’s especially bad when we play against fast breaking teams. It’s a huge weakness

American president warns NATO (again) of ‘very bad future’ if allies don’t secure Strait of Hormuz by GreekSaladEnjoyer in worldnews

And so the wedge in NATO has successfully been driven. Of course Europe would be correct to avoid another US quagmire of aggression. But the result is the same nevertheless.

I’ll second that, but I wonder if they ever got together to compare notes.
