Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo dies of brain cancer at age 58
  • Dikembe was a great person. He routinely helped his people in Africa and built hospitals. Always loved watching him play. He may not get the statues like Kobe or Jordan but he deserves them. Rest in Peace.

  • Trump is killing free speech.
  • Walz needs to make outlandish, unbelievable, rumors. Couch fucking should sound normal.

    Vance is technology he's own great-,grandfather/ brother. You know, he's Grafa bro! His pet ladybug is very proud of their accomplish.

  • Trump calls for prosecution of Google over search results he says favor Harris
  • Damn it Google, how hard is it to spin Trump being liable for raping a woman, supporting a black nazi, supporting klan stories about eating pets, saying he will be a dictator,... (Got tired of typing). You know all the shit he does.

    Fucking heart breaking that we are still watching this shit unfold. Playing musical chairs with bombing locations need to stop. Those directing the bombings need to be charged. Peace isn't enough anymore, the Palestinians need protection.

    Harris puts housing at center of economic pitch to US voters

    > U.S. home prices have risen 50% in the last five years and rents have risen 35%, according to real estate firm Zillow.

    > "I keep hearing about the suburban woman doesn't like Trump," he said at a campaign event in Howell, Michigan last week. "I keep the suburbs safe. I stopped low-income towers from rising right alongside of their house, and I'm keeping the illegal aliens away from the suburbs."

    > At an Aug. 16 campaign stop in North Carolina, Harris called for building 3 million more housing units in four years, on top of the 1 million or so built annually by the private sector, through a new tax credit for developers who build homes aimed at first-time homebuyers and a $25,000 tax credit for those buyers.

    1. Trump's remarks are reminiscent of how red lining was pushed. Same language. John Oliver did a great piece on it.

    1. Harris's plan is estimated to cost tax payers a lot long term. However, that is what investments in our future will look like.

    > The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group, estimates those policies would cost at least $200 billion over 10 years.

    All political views should end with the word boy in a southern voice.

    This would be a quick way to see of it's racist, close minded, or just straight bs.

    Ex1- You want women to kill babies, boy!

    Ex2- You want to feed the homeless, boy!

    Trump gag order partially lifted in hush money case
    abcnews.go.com Trump gag order partially lifted in hush money case

    The judge who oversaw Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan agreed to partially lift a gag order on the former president Tuesday.

    Trump gag order partially lifted in hush money case

    > "Until sentence is imposed, all individuals covered by Paragraph (b)" -- referring to members of the court staff, the district attorney's staff and their families -- "must continue to perform their lawful duties free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm," Merchan wrote in the ruling.

    > And although he struck the portion of the gag order pertaining to jurors, Merchan wrote that it would be his "strong preference" to extend those protections because there remains "ample evidence to justify continued concern for the jurors."

    Someone help make sense of this. Why would you lift the gag order off jurors but not yourself?
