There seems to be an actual push for this somewhere.

Shes inexplicably moved up to 4th best odds to win the Dem primary, after Warren, Biden, and Pete




What odds are these? Because all she has is more name recognition than anyone else in the field. But no one is actually asking for her to run aside a clickbait article and russian bots trying to keep her relevant.

The only places I even see her listed on an odds site have her as an extreme longshot so that the betting sites can still rake in money from...surprise surprise, conspiracy theorists.

I forget which Republican it was, but they proposed a bill prohibiting family members of elected officials profiting in Ukraine (a paraphrase, I forget the exact nature of the anti-corruption).

Ok, I will retract my statement a little bit and say that other Presidents definitely would not have done it with this lack of grace and planning.

But ultimately theyre always going to grit their teeth and side with Turkey over the Kurds when push comes to shove

Let Erdoan do it you mean. There are many, many people in Turkey opposed. I have to imagine that this is in part an attempt to counteract his and his party's slumping poll numbers - there is a real chance that they are out on their arse at the next election for the first time in 17 years. I hope this blows up in their face, Erdoan has been courting Turkish Kurds for a while now and I can't imagine this would go down well with them.

As mentioned, the NBA is big in China, but I'd add that the Houston Rockets are particularly sensitive to this because their drafting Yao Ming (who was later inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame) back in 2002 was basically what made the NBA big in China.

Even now, you'll see players who for whatever reason can't make a team in the NBA play in China instead.
