I can’t disagree. How about throwing a few billion to Democratic GOTV, Mark? The Lincoln Project?

Mark Cuban is an Ayn Rand worshiping douchebag and even he doesn’t pretend Trump is anything but pathetic.
Edit: I admit I was wrong about Cuban. He apparently has had a change of heart/view with regards to Ayn Rand and how to run his business. My mistake. He spent decades promoting that sick woman’s writing, but apparently has changed a lot in recent years.

I suppose I’m glad TPM watched Hannity interview* Cuban so I didn’t have to but wouldn’t want to give the impression I’m overjoyed.
*Hannity doesn’t interview of course, he uses guests as props while he indulges in reich-wing polemics, but I’m trying to be polite today for some reason.

All Trump really wants to run is his mouth.

Mark Cuban is a moron who got very, very lucky selling Broadcast.com at the right time, basically a year or so before it cratered for Yahoo. In the 21 years since that sale, he has accomplished nothing and his net worth has not appreciably increased. He does reality television because it makes him feel loved. He’s Dallas Drumpf.

Trump and Cuban were one-time close acquaintances. Cuban decided after the 2016 primaries to disavow his support for Trump.
Mark Cuban and Ayn Rand? Is that why he continued to pay ALL of his hourly employees for the Dallas Mavs? I gotta’ call bullshit gramps.

Well it’s still early, and maybe you just need to pace yourself.

Very pithy indeed.
Maybe even good enough for a bumper sticker.

Hannity got owned by Cuban. What was he thinking considering Cuban stated he would vote for Biden a few weeks ago. Hannity does his usual talking over people and cutting off an interview if it isn’t going his way.

Hannity asked Cuban to back up the Democratic presidential nominee’s record on policing issues and racial justice, touting the iron fist-type criminal justice reform that Trump has made a selling point in his campaign for reelection.
1 ) though impressive and important, that reform was bipartisan. The accomplishment is however getting hobbled by two years of Trump tweets.
2 ) Trump supported tougher measures

Trump only wants to run a campaign because it is a necessary part of his effort to replicate a Putin-like bankruptcy/reorganization of the remaining distressed assets - securing a huge huge share for his extended organization & allocating favors ( huge assets at grotesquely low prices) to those who pledge to support him.
TRUMP FUNDAMENTALLY HATES THE ESSENCE OF THE AMERICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND WILL DELIGHT IN DESTROYING IT & REPLACING WITH TOTALITARIAN OLIGARCHS

Cuban says he didn’t read into the political message of Rand’s work but found motivation in her characters.
“I didn’t buy into her political philosophy, like ‘all government is bad,’ and pure libertarianism,” Cuban explains
Reading is fundamental.

Exactly, what has Donald proposed in a granular way on policy? Trump’s whole shtick is bombastic dog whistling and grievance diatribes. Trump’s so-so call Trumptastic economy didn’t lift people out of poverty and off of the public assistance roles, bring back manufacturing to America, and didn’t see the middle class gain that much ground.
And just on a side note anyone notice how many school shootings didn’t happen since February?

Rich man worship is what got us into this mess in the first place, I think.

I suppose in this case, failure has many fathers. And mothers.

Do we know if Cuban’s daddy gave him a “small” loan to start Broadcast.com? If not, Drumpf and Cuban may be similar but Drumpf remains in a class of his own.
