Here's the part you quoted:

Nothing funnier than seeing a dumb jock like Lebron trying to sound poignant. "Trump is using sport to divide us" - right, and refusing to stand for the national anthem wasn't? You dope.

Now please explain to the class where I tried to hold Lebron up to the same standard as a POTUS.

Sentence one: I find humour in dumb jocks trying to sound smart.

Sentence two: I think what he said is stupid as fuck.

Sentence three: I call him a dope.

So yeah, if you could should where I insinuated an athlete should be held to the same standard as a president, that'd be great lol

Melania Trump praises LeBron James in statement after husband insults him
On Saturday afternoon, Melania Trump also issued a surprising, positive statement about James, but did not reference her husband.

“It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today,” a statement provided by her spokeswoman said. “As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron.”

Because Donald Trump mentioned the NBA legend and Charlotte Hornets coach Michael Jordan in the tweet – ending with “I like Mike!” – Jordan also weighed in.

“I support LJ,” Jordan said in a statement. “He’s doing an amazing job for his community.”

I trashed LBJ in the James vs. Jordan thread, but the dude is relatively well spoken and not remotely a dumb jock.

Trump associate socialized with alleged Russian agent Maria Butina in final weeks of 2016 campaign
Maria Butina, the Russian gun-rights activist who was charged last month with working as an unregistered agent of the Kremlin, socialized in the weeks before the 2016 election with a former Trump campaign aide who anticipated joining the presidential transition team, emails show, putting her in closer contact with President Trump’s orbit than was previously known.

Butina sought out interactions with J.D. Gordon, who served for six months as the Trump campaign’s director of national security before leaving in August 2016 and being offered a role in the nascent Trump transition effort, according to documents and testimony provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee and described to The Washington Post.

The two exchanged several emails in September and October 2016, culminating in an invitation from Gordon to attend a concert by the rock band Styx in Washington. Gordon also invited Butina to attend his birthday party in late October of that year.

Prosecutors have said Butina, 29, who became a graduate student at American University in 2016, attempted to infiltrate the U.S. political system at the direction of a senior Russian official. Her activities came at the same time that, according to U.S. intelligence officials, Moscow was seeking to interfere in the presidential election to help Trump.

During the campaign, Butina asked Trump at a public event in 2015 about his views on Russia and briefly met Donald Trump Jr. at a National Rifle Association meeting in May 2016.

U.S. investigators probing alleged coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia have been examining dozens of contacts between Russians and Trump associates, including Trump Jr., former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, as well as foreign policy advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

Gordon, 50, a former naval officer who served as a Pentagon spokesman under President George W. Bush before working on several Republican political campaigns, said his contacts with Butina were innocuous.

“From everything I’ve read since her arrest last month, it seems the Maria Butina saga is basically a sensationalized click bait story meant to smear a steady stream of Republicans and NRA members she reportedly encountered over the past few years,” he said in a statement to The Post, noting that she networked extensively. Gordon provided the same statement and some details of his interactions to the Washington Times, which published his account Friday afternoon after The Post contacted Gordon for comment.

“I wonder which prominent Republican political figures she hasn’t come across?” Gordon asked.

Robert Driscoll, an attorney for Butina, said the email exchanges show that Butina was a student eager to network with Americans who shared her interests and no more. Gordon and Driscoll both said the interactions were not romantic and the two had no additional contact after the birthday party in October 2016.

He said "used to". In the context of someone taking a trip to London if they said "I was in the U.K. It used to be called England." it is technically correct.

No. That's wrong. England is still an entity. The U.K. has never been called England.

The U.K. is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can't go to anywhere in the U.K. and say it used to be called England, because if you actually do go to the part that is called England it is still called England.

But it's also called the U.K. and it used to only be called England. Now it's both. It's also Great Britain and Europe if we really want to get crazy. Does it sound stupid for someone to say what he did? Yes, doesn't make it wrong though.

But the U.K. isn't England. England is a part of the U.K. It's wrong to say the U.K. used to be England. It never was England. It's like going to New York and saying I went to the United States, it used to be called New York, but now it's the United States.

I don't know what happened to the left. I was a liberal all my life because it seemed like it was stuffy Jesus-loving conservatives who were censoring shit, trying to shove their values down everyone's throat, destroying people who disagreed with them, opting for religion over scientific fact, etc.

Over the last few years the tables have turned. Now the left is true regressive side. They try to destroy everyone who doesn't support their liberal ideologies. They opt for people's feelings over science. What the fuck happened?

This is why Trump was very necessary.

I dont know it this is real or a hoax. Seems too far fetched but I dont know Twitter all that much, can one go back and edit old tweets to keep the original time stamp?

Maria Butina is now in the US. He writes to me that D. Trump (a member of the NRA) is really for his cooperation with Russia.

That's different, you aren't making a statement that New York is no longer called New York because it is a part of the United States. You're making a general assertion about where you bought the shoes.
