Im sure Vance has privately been preparing for what may be his seat, sooner rather than 2028. He will not abandon maga though, and a pardon will be immediately done to be on the good side of maga, should that happen. After the pardon they can continue on with the “this is all a witch hunt” angle


Have you considered the possibility that Trump is one of the most vetted people in the world and if he was actually doing this sick **** it would have been exposed a long time ago? Why not bring it up in 2016? 2020? 2024? Why now when he has no election to win is this story being pushed?

I have heard a lot of speculation why all evidence regarding Epstein has not come out yet, but it’s only speculation. Pam Bondi needs to tell the American people what’s going on in a press conference. If Trump’s name is in some evidence, let’s see what the evidence is.

Epstein got arrested and “killed himself” during Trump’s first term. And everyday, we are learning more about their relationship.. and the WSJ have more to release soon.

Even with a 10 billion lawsuit filed last week by Trump, Rupert Murdoch is very confident in this reporting and is giving them the go ahead to gradually release more info.

Rest in peace to Hulk Hogan..

A life filled with controversy… most especially the time he scolded his daughter for having a black boyfriend.. and used the N word to describe the potential children that may come from that relationship.

As a kid, I loved watching the NWO era. I found it very entertaining to see him play a bad guy.

He wasnt a great wrestler for a late 90s performer, he never evolved from his 70s/80s and early 90s style.

His health was declining drastically the last two years. He couldnt walk a lot of times, he could barely sit down because of his back neck and spine issues.. this is a guy that used a leg drop as a finishing move on rings that were as hard as a sidewalk, described one time doing the leg drop and a 2x4 just popped up/broke loose..

The steroid use definitely did a number to his overall health.

I think WWE will do a very thought out tribute and wont be shocked to see Vince McMahon reappear with his own tribute.

I'm with you if you're saying Trump's bought and paid for and a scumbag for all of this. Miss me on the democrats being the knights in shining armor though, they were in power the last 4 years and you heard nothing about any of this (Epstein files I mean), its all cynical political power plays by a bunch of shabbos goy while the population continues to bicker over red team blue team culture wars. My only hope is something more radical spawns out of the ashes of Trump because that coalition is dead.

My opinion, he's definitely in the files but he probably isn't implicated in anything directly like sex with minors, doesn't seem like his MO. But there is probably stuff in there that's bad for him regardless. He's still a scumbag for withholding it, and just part of the same system. I think if he came out with it, whatever reputation hit he took (short of direct evidence of sex with minors) probably could have recovered from, and the support from his base would have long term strengthened. But instead his withholding will have the opposite effect, all because he believed his own BS ("I could shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters"). Nope, turns out you can't get away with anything, you were riding a wave of nativist/nationalist sentiment, and the wave swallowed you.

Now the question is who comes next. But I don't think this movement is going away, its the same all over the world, its not just an American thing. And -ist and -phobe no longer work to suppress the movement, people by and large are rejecting that paradigm.

Read on Twitter


The fed having other priorities other than independent monetary policy would explain why the fed was too late to start raising rates. People were talking about inflation even in 2021, including Elon Musk, but Powell sat on a supercharged interest rate for way too long.

Lol what a weird thing for Lebron to sue .. i had no idea that people were making lebron pregnant ai generated photos and videos.. my algorithm on any of my socials does not reach to that type of content.. was it really getting that viral that he had to address that? And… therrs billions of social media accounts.. how do you even stop it? I feel like he just ignited the fire even more by acknowledging it’s existence

Is Lebron really suing? :lol:

Good luck suing social media platforms. They will just say they are not content creators and will hide behind section 230. Now maybe a sympathetic judge will find a way around section 230, but that would be a hefty legal bill and would need to be decided on by the supreme court. Social media companies will fight like hell to keep section 230. If Lebron wins, it would be against a bunch of broke ass kids and he would get nothing. Pyrrhic victory.

I would post some preggo lebron pics, but I don’t want him suing me and taking my 1994 Honda Civic with refurb paint from 2009.

Yea he got some social media accounts banned with cease and desist and filed lawsuits.. Its like i said, there are too many accounts, especially foreign. Its an impossible thing to stop… i think he breathed life into it by acknowledging it exists… now itll be bigger than ever.. whereas that trend may have died in a couple weeks had he left it alone.

Dont be shocked to see pregnant lebron posters during games while hes shooting free throws. Or someone posibg as lebron with a pillow under their jersey

Will there ever be a paid member version of realgm that keeps you ad free? The ad spam is getting worse .. how annoying to browse this forum

The ad spam is similar to finding a free link to watch sports..

Caitlyn Clark is the third best player on her team. Mitchel and Boston are way more impactful to winning. It's well known.
Sad that if Indiana wins, everyone will ignore those two and credit CC because she appeals to middle America mediocrity.

More damning proof that Donald Trump is a pedophile and has been for a very long time. This time, from Florida's own Uncle Luke:

;t=436s
Starts at 7:16

Keep in mind, Luke is also a pretty disgusting man. So you've got to be REALLY gross to even make him feel uncomfortable.

It is what it is, the rest of the wnba can thank her for their new salaries after the cba negotiations. Without her, they would not have signed that massive media deal.

Even paige bueckers isnt able to sell out her own home games and she had a big following in college, and i like paige. Caitlin makes her opposing teams rent out arenas from the NBA and sells it out.

That's partly true but leaves out a big fact, which is that CC would not be popular if not for Angel Reese.

No one was paying that much attention to CC and I believe I read she had a worse NIL deal than AR until the March Madness game where AR taunted CC and gave middle America a champion to represent them in their dislike of everything Black.

Glad you bring up Paige though. She's also better than CC.

You guys should probably just stick to basketball....a lot of fast and loose talk about s*** you frankly have no clue about. This site is not moderated at a level to support this type of discourse imo.

Remember, any stand up man who is NOT a pedophile would be disgusted by this talk. He would be desperate to clear his name so as to not be associated with such evil.

But what does Trump do?

Says that he never had the privilege of going to Epstein's island. An island well known to be the place where thousands of rapes of underaged girls occurred over the span of decades.

This man is repulsive and so are all his remaining supporters, Idc.

Tim, what are you suggesting is more radical than Trump? Be specific with what policies you are recommending. It’s easy to blame people for stuff, more difficult to learn truth. Bongino recently just tweeted this (link below): But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.

Let’s see what the investigation finds on what really is going on in our government. We don’t want to go more radical on anything, unless it’s a doubling down on exposing any interests working against the American people. Things are way more complex than just one small group/ethnicity of people conspiring to bring down the west. A lot of people want to see Western ideals and society fail. Seeing just one scapegoat for societies failures is a failure to understand the magnitude of where we are at this point in history.

America needs to be united, not divided with foreign/marxist/fascist manipulated divide and conquer distrust.
