Balless Corporate Tool Refuses to Upset His Communist Chinese Paymasters

You may have forgotten why Cruz brought that up - back when the NBA was still playing games, a Houston Rockets manager tweeted some support for Free Hong Kong, and some fans started trying to show Free Hong Kong signs at an exhibition game. The NBA cracked down instantly, and said anyone who persisted in this was going to be kicked off the teams or out of any management position, and they also used security guards to instantly throw out any fans who tried to display any "Free Hong Kong" signs.

In case you wondered just how much financial influence the Chinese government has with the NBA.

It's almost like there's a group of left-wing veterans who are eager to scout the internet to make sure only their narrative of "veterans support the kneelers" is the only view heard

how do you end a pandemic? Is there a cure? no.

oh wait, there is...it's called hydroxychlorquine and the left fucking politicized it. They made fun of trump because that's all they know.

so, between:

1. politicizing the cure to own trump
2. putting covids in nursing homes
3. using covid relief bills as personal political wish lists

who has made things worse.

the answer, as always, is the democrats.

Trump has blocked US visas to any member of the Chinese Communist Party.

Which could be an opening move to offering Hong Kongers visas, as long as they ain't commie cocksuckers.

Does it mean all lives matter? no because you get fired for saying that.

Does it mean marxism and anti-Christian bigotry? Well, yes. But also no because no one talks about corporate BLM goals. because they're yucky.

Does it mean donating a billion or so to Creepy Joe's campaign? Yes, because what do you think BLM does with their corporate bullshit donations? Act Blue, that's what.

Ah, but Mark Cuban is directly enriching the Chinese government and, in turn, making money off of the slave labor of the Chinese government. It's not just a China problem.

Mark Cuban is an American embassy of slave labor in America, using the money he makes from slave labor in China to try and influence policy in America that aligns with the interests of his paymasters.

I think getting Mark Cuban to out himself as a Chinese stooge is useful, at least.

Posted by: zombie at July 21, 2020 04:57 PM (HEEq1)

Mark Cuban was a Pittsburg average kid from a working family. His first fortune was selling a company he co-founded, Broadcast.com. It was kinda a competitor to Youtube, but failed. Wiki puts it best:

n 1998, AudioNet was renamed to Broadcast.com and in July 1998, the company became a public company via an initial public offering. The stock price soared 250% on its first day of trading, a record for a newly issued public stock. After the IPO, the company was worth $1 billion, Mark Cuban was worth $300 million, and Todd Wagner was worth $170 million.

On April 1, 1999, less than 9 months after the IPO, Yahoo! announced the acquisition of broadcast.com for $5.7 billion in stock. At the time, broadcast.com had 570,000 users, and the purchase price was $10,000 per user. Cuban sold most of his Yahoo stock that same year, netting over $1 billion. Founder Chris Jaeb, whose stake was diluted to less than 1% of the company, received approximately $50 million from the sale.

The service became a part of Yahoo! Broadcast Services.

Yahoo shut down much of its broadcast services in 2002 and broadcast.com has since been discontinued. Yahoo's high-profile purchase of broadcast.com has since been called one of the worst internet acquisitions.


With those profits, Cuban went on to buy the Dallas Mavericks NBA team. And Mark has also been investing in start up companies as an investor on Shark Tank.

He is worth many billions.

I'm trying to understand why we are trying to Own Mark Cuban by mocking him for not mouthing the slogan "Free Hong Kong." I'm not going to proclaim the slogan either unless I'm serious about it.

F*ck Mark Cuban, but why is he "balless" because he refuses to say something that many reasonable people would also refuse to say?

181 119 I stopped going to church when I sensed that God was not necessarily there.

Jesus mentions that the church is not necessary to worship God.


I've long thought that Paul had no epiphany on the road to Damascus unless it was the possibility of how much more damage he could do Christianity by claiming he had become one. And the entire movement took a turn from that point on.

And it hasn't gotten any better.

Because it was the Church that was wrong on homosexuality, divorce, abortion, cousin marriages and so on? Maybe it was the gnostics or the pagans who were right all along. Theologically it is not held by non-Protestant sects that God especially resides in churches, it is the Eucharist that is held to have His real presence.

182 Cuban has been on various Fox talking head shows in the past few months. He gets respect, because of his successes and reputation.

And ego.

He portrays himself as some sort of counteraction to Trump.

Yet he does not explain details very well.

IMO he sees what Trump did and says "why not me? Crap, I've known Trump for years, and I am better than him".

But for the networks that show these sports? You can skip all 11 versions of NBC's The More You Know drivel, and CBS marches on with their sports whores and their 30-seconds-of-virtue-garbage PSAs. They can go to hell.

200 China isn't interested in establishing an Empire.

What they're trying for is client states that cannot rise to be a threat while providing the Chinese with all that they need to survive/thrive to the detriment of those states.

We the USA are the ONLY threat to them achieving that goal.

Why would anyone doubt that they would be willing to go to extreme lengths to reduce that threat?

And China doesn't care if the rest of the world would be aghast at the revelation that China unleashed a virus on the world preemptively.

China does not care about history they can change that. China doesn't care if every country attempted to stop doing business with it because they know they never would even try and their businesses would never let them.

China has no concern about being thought immoral.

Their attitude is "what you gonna do about it gwei-lo?"

242 As a Spurs fan, I already hated Mr. Cuban. But Mr. Cuban has a very intense, deep-seated hatred for this country.

Mr. Cuban whines about "systemic racism", yet if such exists, what about his team? If we had "systemic racism", exactly none of his players should be hitting the court, for millions of dollars in some cases, and fans would not be cheering the team on.

Mr. Cuban whines about a "pandemic", yet I see no such signs of such a thing except in the fevered imaginations of the media and Statists. (Talk to me when a REAL pandemic breaks out.)

Mr. Cuban, ALL lives matter. Unless you are one of those Americans (admittedly in the majority) who are sickened by individuality and believe not in individual rights, but rather, group rights.

Finally, Mr. Cuban, you can't say anything nice about Hong Kong because at heart you are anti-freedom.

Asked and answered, then. BLM is a revolutionary communist organization. They're also racial supremacists, of course, but they're ideological commies. I am sure Cuban would never cross his CCP sponsors. Both the money and the ideology are too compelling. This will be familiar to the CCP - Mao and Stalin were tight at the beginning, too.

Things may change down the road, but every one of the Baskin-Robins 31 flavors of American commies will back and support the CCP and her agenda for now.

So of course Cuban won't say "free Hong Kong" or comment on the Uyghers. He's a communist, and the Chinese are calling the shots on almost all of the global communist movements and missions.

Others that have remained silent have simply stopped coming.

Posted by: Joe Mama at July 21, 2020 05:15 PM (uJfLv)

I noticed that happening in the Presby Church, which I've now left, really starting about 10 years ago (but accelerating now) Way back in the old days, like 20 years ago, membership was split between social conservatives and social liberals, and people respected each other's opinions and tried to keep politics out of church. But, the left took over the seminaries and gradually, the leadership, and started making the place more and more uncomfortable for people who didn't agree with them.

And watching this, it hit me - they *knew* what they were doing, they *wanted* the church to shrink. They have decided that it is far far easier for them to run a church that is a fraction of it's former size because they will never get any criticism, and they can do what they want. That's the plan - and in your case, I guarantee, your priest doesn't want you to "repent" - he WANTS you to leave and never come back. Much much easier for him if you do.

PC-USA, the main Presby body, still had 2.6 million members in 2000. As of last year, they are down to just over 1.3 million - half of the entire church has quit or died over the last couple of decades

And with every church they have shutting down for most of this year, I expect the membership drop to really accelerate. Honestly, I do not expect that body to exist by 2040.

275 You missed my point, garrett.

The billionaires are comfortable demanding INCOME tax increases, because most of them don't have traditional incomes. Small business owners who might grow and challenge a billionaires empire do. So they call for huge income tax increases, knowing most people don't understand this, meanwhile they hide behind their low capital gains tax rate and corporate funded lifestyle. As soon as that is targeted for taxes, the assholes would change their tune in a hurry. If Amazon was taxed $50 million for Jeffs $100 million mansion, he would have a different opinion about things.

Masks cannot and will not stop the spread of any virus in a general population of 7 billion people.


The reason the CDC said early on that people shouldn't go out and buy masks was because that has been the longstanding general consensus and scientific understanding based upon decades of research.


The CDC and WHO had this information on there sites before it was removed.


Masks have been weaponized for fear, control and propaganda.


While the op is ongoing, masks will be required.

LOL, I don't think Christopher Farms (Gilroy) uses Chinese labor, or even Mexican labor to peel garlic. I guess it depends on the type, but a good hard stem peels really easy.

You can put a few cloves in 2 bowls inverted on each other, shake like crazy, and the paper falls right off. I'd think they'd have something like they use to pluck chickens (rotating rubber fingers).

I'd think eating anything coming from China is a huge mistake. Remember when they found dried baby in vitamins a few years back? Lead? They don't seem to like using inert substances for fillings for some reason. It needs to be radioactive or strange animal parts.

Do you really not understand? It's not about "having a plan" to do it, it's about having the freedom to even say it.

China officially demands that NO ONE in the world says this. They will use every power they have, military and financial, to make sure that NO ONE says this, even in the US.

359 The billionaires are comfortable demanding INCOME tax increases, because most of them don't have traditional incomes. Small business owners who might grow and challenge a billionaires empire do. So they call for huge income tax increases, knowing most people don't understand this, meanwhile they hide behind their low capital gains tax rate and corporate funded lifestyle.

Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel


Yeah, Pop may have been a great coach, but politically, he comes across as a real asshole. But in part, they do that because they are "in tune" with what their players think, and any sort of digression from that might get them unpopular with the team and then fired.

Non-medical masks, according to the FDA, DO NOT stop droplets (really... go to their website and read up on standards for masks sold to the public). Also, people are constantly fiddling with their mask so it is hard to believe that they stop face touching either.

The WNBA is insolvent on its own. It is heavily subsidized by the NBA. If finances get tight for the NBA, the WNBA is the canary in the Dyke-filled locker room.
They keel over first.

Pro-sports largely thrives on TV money, and advertising money. They can't pay their player the hundreds of millions in "profit sharing" if the profits go into the dumpster, and the TV money dries up.

Part of that is cable. Even if you don't watch it on cable.
Cut the cable, get Roku.

If you have cable, you are subsidizing pro sports.

No, of course not. China didn't plant me in the AoSHQ comment section sixteen years ago in hopes that I could propagandize for them in 2020. Tom, you usually make more sense than that.

You say China is stopping people globally from saying Free Hong Kong. I did not know that; I'll take your word for it.

I'm not trying to stop people from saying it. I'm not gonna say it myself because I would not risk my life or US soldiers' lives to "save" HK.

So far the best explanation I read above for warring with China over HK is: we're inevitably going to fight a shooting war with China someday, so let's use any pretext to fight it at a time of our choosing, preferably sooner. That makes sense to me, but only insofar as I believe the inevitability.

I work with a guy who is involved in manufacturing some herbal supplements in China. They need to be manufactured there because that's where the stuff is. Many years ago when they were standing up production, they had massive quality control problems as well as counterfeiting in their plant (basically, what was in it was not what was on the label).

They couldn't move it out of China, so they sent their own QC team over to take over all quality control and testing. And they don't do single-run testing due to the problems with that, too. They test every batch at every point in production and burn up a lot of product doing additional spot-checks at a way higher rate than industry average.

They got their quality, but they have to pay through the nose for it and have their own men doing it "over there."

Watch your waiter/tress. Touching mask that they've been breathing through for hours with hands then they handle your dishes. Worse f they have gloves because you know they are not washing their hands.

468 redridinghood, hmmm.

I kind of agree. No, I don't like wearing a mask. I don't wear one when I'm outdoors either. Even here in SoCal, I've never been hassled by a karen about no mask outdoors.

But, just about every private business is requiring masks if you want to enter their shops and places of business. If I were wealthy and could have everything shipped straight to me, so I never had to wear a mask, I would do that. But I'm not wealthy and I can't do that, so I'm stuck.

I can't help but wonder if we as a people are being 'broken in.' Eventually I expect the powers-that-be to say "okay, all business are back open, go to church, you can dine out, whatever, but keep wearing those masks and social distancing." Among other things.

With respect, it is a hill to die on. It shows that with the right buttons pressed, people will willingly give up their most basic freedoms in order to achieve an illusory safety.

"Feeling safer" is what will lead to permanent, mandatory mask-wearing, if not every damned day, then every day during an ever-more-nebulous and expanding "flu season."

Your analogy about wearing mask is inapt, you wear a mask while you are painting for a very short duration of time and in the specific area you are painting.

China will NEVER achieve air/sea parity with the US, despite their desires to do so. They are simply incapable of building modern aircraft and ships without stealing the designs from someone more competent, like the Russians. *snort*

Read some stuff about the Chinese knock offs of the SU27 and SU33 fighters. It's pretty enlightening.

The thing that's scary about Chi-Nah is the racial animosity and their desire to subjugate everyone else in the world. Basically if you ain't Han Chinese, you're not a human being, little more than beasts of burden to serve superior Chinese People.

535 irright, thanks for asking. That's one of the few bright spots. People here are frankly so sick of everything that they're exploiting every loophole they can find and now restaurants, stores and even many salons are doing 'curbside' service.

As just one major example, on Second Street in tony Belmont Shore (a wealthy enclave of Long Beach), a whole lane of traffic on both sides of the already-narrow street has been closed off so that the tons of high-end restaurants there can offer outdoor patio dining.

He and others build Broadcast.com, a useless pre-search vehicle bought out by Yahoo and Softbank for an overpriced valuation shareholders never got back. The key to the deal was is known in the industry as a collared protective put installed by real business/finance folks over the objections of the owner idiots including Cuban who thought it would spike the deal. In truth, it made Cuban a fortune, on company as worthless as dust and Yahoo collapse shortly after the deal, losing a fortune for everyone but (ta da!) the one idiot that didn't want the protective put, that would be your number one business imbecile, Mark Cuban!

Wearing of The Veil is a sign of submission. That is known.

Also, Trump has proven to be the worst president when it comes to law and order. All bluster ZERO action. This nation's enemies run unchecked, unfearfull and more resolute.

The Budget is destroyed beyond repair. It really doesn't matter anymore if the Fe'ral government hands out what is effectively UBI checks from here to the final collapse.

He has talked big about the border, but effectively has nothing to show for it. We still have Obamacare.

Next prediction: Fraud By Mail will pass and be the mechanism to finally bring in the Thousand Years of Darkness.

When that happens will you admit that this isn't "a whole lot of drama?"

Posted by: Serious Cat at July 21, 2020 05:58 PM (zqs/f)
+++++++++++++
It isn't about the mask, not really. It is manifesting that way.

It's about being lied to by every authority. No one trusts anyone else. The mask item, in particular, has been one of the biggest policy whipsaws and footballs in recent memory. There isn't great evidence as to efficacy. They are expensive and hard to come by. They are being mandated, yet other restrictions aren't being lifted. They're incredibly dehumanizing. They're used as a cudgel by the state on general principle.

If there was good evidence of efficacy, I'd have a different attitude. Even if without evidence, if they were being used as a shibboleth to justify reopening things and keeping the Karens at bay, I'd have a different attitude.

But it is just another indifferent or lie-based control put out by yet more controlling liars. Yes, continuing shutdowns are far worse than wearing a mask, but this isn't an either-or question. It's both masks and shutdowns (both of which appear to be pointless or of minor efficacy, paid for at eye-watering expense) and more and more control by ever darker and more pernicious liars.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at July 21, 2020 06:15 PM (hYcqw)

Posted by: vmom 2020 's tale of teigen twitterazism at July 21, 2020 06:12 PM (TOyHQ)

With .380 defensive ammo, either the hollow point doesn't expand (because velocities are lower on .380), so you end up with ball ammo performance; or the hollow point DOES expand but you get reduced penetration, which can be a problem if you shoot from the side (like the lady cop in the video last week).

.380 ball ammo (and Makarov ammo too) gets good penetration. Just put the rounds on target.

Underwood/Lehigh Extreme Penetrator .380 rounds (they look like a phillips screwdriver nipped off) DO perform very very well. But they're expensive. So are most Buffalo Bore offerings.

when I trained nurses on the use of oximeters my company sold, many would come in wearing masks they had worn for awhile. When it measured their oxygen saturation many were way below normal levels. soem were so low they would have qualified to Supplemental Oxygen through medicare. of course it depended on other factors like weight, how much you exercises etc. Add that to other contraindications like collecting dust, pollen, bacteria and they are not good for prolonged use.

595 My daughter is in school with no mask mandate.

We have already discussed that if it becomes an issue, she'll just study at home via online schooling.

Our opponent has done a fine job of instilling in the children that if they disagree with the world, they are free to rob, burn, loot, vandalize, scream in outrage and protest.

Our side has done a fine job of instilling in our children that we must just acquiesce and forfeit.

So yeah, if children learning groupthink and herd mentality is what constitutes "socialization", then I will just raise an anti-social child.

I'm good with that. Because here's the thing, I've already had to teach her that the world embraces trannies, homos, throuples, white genuflecting, abortion, drug addiction, and countless other immoral, reprobate lifestyles. Nickelodeon airs commercials for sodomy HIV drugs.

We are just going to stick to our principles, of which non-compliance with forced mask wearing is one.

I understand that I'm mostly alone in this thinking, but I don't really care. I have been tasked by the Lord to teach her to stand firmly in His principles and some day they will amass against those too.

Whenever I'm on a telecon or long boring meeting, I whip out the SIRT and practice draw from concealment, trigger press, mag changes, etc. Get a deck of those Dry Fire Training or Dry Fire Fit cards and deal yourself some random training bits. It really helps and you notice a difference when you do get to the range.

598 Mary, yup

599 >>The Dems must be laughing their asses off at how easy it was to fuck over America and Trump and how much simpler this is than "Russian collusion!"

Do you think their goal is to have us wear masks or keep the economy, the schools, pretty much everything locked down?

I'm pretty sure the economy is a lot more important to them than masks.

600 For kids much more than us adults.

Oh yeah. And that's why SO many parents are now going the home-schooling route, if possible. It's pretty amazing, and a happy outcome for those kids and families, in the midst of this mess.

It's hell on those parents who have to choose between going to work and homeschooling their kids. It's hell on the kids, having their social lives ripped away from them.

It's great that there are parents who can home school, and it's nice to see more of that, but it's a luxury some cannot afford.

602 What did Trump say about "no further shut downs" today? Missed that.

603 The mask requirement is a "bend the knee" equivalent if it really isn't helpful to anything other than to show obedience. That's why conservatives object - if it can be shown, empirically and through experience to save your life, you wouldn't need to point your finger and demand obedience like some Governors are doing now - no one would even care, they'd do it without question.

604 OT watching Biden reading the teleprompter. He is going on and on about how he is just like all of us. Not making any mistakes. Sounds normal but typical Democrat. I think there were half a dozen people there and he ran off stage without taking questions.

605 The press conference was pretty disappointing. Trump does better when he takes the time to treat the leftist press like the trash it is.

********************

I don't agree, I thought this was the kind of press conference he needs to have more regularly, just the facts, get in get out, no more spats with the press who are completely and utterly fucking useless.

I thought he did an excellent job today. Came across as a leader.

606 I agree redridinghood. Less fun maybe than trashing Jim Acosta but it forces the media to report at least the basics.

607 "Ball" is just another term for "fully jacketed." I.e. not hollow point, soft point, etc.

610 Think about how quickly a Karen would sure WM if she
'felt' she caught the 'rona there. They HAVE to do this to protect
themselves. All businesses do, really. Just a lawsuit away from
ruination. That realization made it possible for me to cover my mug with
less acrimony.

That is rationalization.

Thanks. Probably come out even on the cost of using the simulator at my range.
