Okay, as someone who doesn't know the intricacies of crafting the budget, how much leverage does the President actually have with regard to "shutting the government down?"

I had thought that was a legislative thing

I'm not sure, but I believe he's required to sign off on legislation raising the debt ceiling.

Yeah police relations aren't.... going to get better anytime soon.

Mostly because we have a president who insists police are blameless for everything and therefore will always back up everything they do.

I mean we had a president who also insisted police were generally good but suggested the wild and crazy idea of reform and therefore was an awful person who hated cops.

Flashbangs and smoke grenades being tossed at protesters outside, apparently because some of them threw water bottles.

Police couldn't do anything about nazis running over people but they'll be damned if there's water bottle throwing!

I mean, if they were willing to give up Porzingas they could have gotten him, but trading a player as good as him on a rookie contract for a guy only two years away from unrestricted free agency would be... well, Phil Jacksonian to be honest.

Potentially fun fact if these numbers are accurate: 28 million watched Trump's Afghan speech.

40 million watched Obama's Afghan speech in 2009.

Ooooooooooooooooooh Trump will not like that.

"I think we will probably end up terminating NAFTA at some point."

GREAT negotiating tactic. Basically tell the people you're negotiating with you're probably not going to go along with anything anyway, see how many concessions you'll actually get.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I can't lie, at this point everyone who listens to Trump (not agrees with his positions, just LISTENS to him) and thinks he's good at this is either intellectually dishonest or just a moron.

You could give him all the political positions I agree with and I would still go "man this guy is a moron, can't we get someone to run with these ideas that isn't completely awful?"

Largely the same garbage as usual.

Eh, I'm not expecting Kyrie to suddenly morph into somebody he hasn't been before just because of Brad Stevens.

Keep in mind we're talking a leap from poor defender and below average running of an offense to below average defender and above average at running an offense.

I mean Isaiah Thomas is living proof of guys having massive jumps. I mean, he was always pretty good and fairly underrated but this past season he become almost MVP level.
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

For the most part, I'd say it's huge for Cleveland (since they really should have had no leverage) and solid for Boston.

Cleveland has the ability to compete in LeBron's final year while having something that could help them rebuild immediately should he leave.

Boston grabs the better, younger player with an extra year on his contract, plus Brad Stevens is a much better coach than anyone Kyrie's had yet so maybe he can help him reach the unrealized potential defensively and running the point.
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Keep in mind, though, Boston still has a shot at a 2-5 pick thanks to the trade they made with Philadelphia for their #1 pick.

So it's an overpay, but not a bad one.
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I think people are over rating Thomas here. Last season was easily his best and there's no guarantee he'll repeat it.

I can't believe Cleveland got as much as they did for Kyrie given his trade demand. yeah IT leaves soon but that Nets #1 could be the #1 pick in the draft.

Boston has a serious core now with Kyrie, Tatum and Hayward.

Don't forget Jaylen Brown.
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Man, a former #1 pick traded for a former #60. Has that ever happened?

Yeah, all those white supremacists with the BLM signs... lmao

Pretty sure those were counter protesters.

The text under them is "Shiva4Senate" and the guy talking is Shiva and they're standing on the gazebo behind him.

Considering what Cokes said about Shiva, they seem to be a rather confused bunch.

Also do you think Vlado knows that those confederate monuments went up during the early 1900's during the height of the Jim Crow black suppression laws? Or that confederates were traitors to America?

Because that was the media spin on the rally.

Remember when JaKyL said that Trump winning was a necessary release valve for these people?

I kinda feel like all they've done is become more pent-up, mostly because Trump isn't being praised at the greatest thing ever and that things aren't changing as much as they'd hope.

The second that she came out during a pre-show with a t-shirt on and started talking like "Oh, well you know I'm just looking forward to watching the matches to see these girls go out there and put on a great show" her character was dead.

That's... quite the leap.

I would be totally unsurprised if Asuka isn't really injured and this is their way of getting an undefeated Asuka onto the main roster and also strip her of the belt.

I mean, why not pull a Paige?

Even more important, why not give Ember the rub?

Oh God, Asuka suffered a broken collarbone.

That really hurts the decision not to give Moon the win in retrospect.

I feel like like WWE is like "look just bear with Jinder as world champ, we really need this India tour to go well. Look, we'll give you AJ Styles US champ in the meantime, ok?"

I think AJ is a little unrelated. Vince is super high on AJ, which is fantastic. But that's a totally different game than Jinder in India. I could see AJ Grand Slamming faster than anyone else in history at this point.

Don't see tag titles for AJ any time soon.

Btw, Kevin Owens PPV streak hit 28, the second highest was Charlotte a.t 24 but that ended. Now it's AJ Styles at 19 which I believe means he's made every PPV since his debut.
