Yes it is hypocritical for someone that is also connected to so many shady people, to call out shady connections of others.

And now people with "Free Hong Kong" signs are getting kicked out of basketball games...in America. Thrown Out! Lol this is atrocious. They should get a few hundred people to block the interstate leaving the arena and it will all be fine.

Stunning how not woke people get when they may actually suffer a consequence for spouting opinions.

Hypocritical: yes.

Does it mean we should dismiss what she said because she said it: No

Like TL said, the guy is so **** corrupt and it’s ignored by half of the country

Two foreign-born donors to a pro- Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules and are expected to appear in court on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. The men’s nationalities was unclear, though both were believed to have been born in former Soviet republics.

Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s private lawyer, identified the two men in May as his clients. Both men have donated to Republican campaigns including Mr. Trump’s, and in May 2018 gave $325,000 to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, America First Action, through an LLC called Global Energy Producers, according to Federal Election Commission records.

And both had been summoned to testify in the impeachment inquiry. Hmm.

Two soviets, hmmm. That can't be.

Oh my. The woke NBA is in a crux here. Let everyone have a fair voice, like they want and risk losing millions from China, or keep their money and go against everything they preach.

It’s very surprising to me that a board devoted to an NHL franchise has a bunch of posters who really seem to despise the NBA

Being woke is just slang for being a pez dispenser for whatever the left is saying. If you have millions, and compromise your wokeness for money, then f*ck you twice.

Precisely... and it's not like anyone on the right legitimately gives a sh*t about Hong Kong or the Uyghurs in China either. They just enjoy people on the left getting their comeuppance. That's all.

Sounds like Sessions should get indicted as well.

Sadly this is the state of the country. We could replace right with left and left with right and Hong Kong or Uyghurs with anything and it would be a true statement for vocal people.

In a perfect world, the nba would just cut off ties with China. It kind of screws over the people of China who enjoy the product, but probably the right move. However, billions of dollars are involved. A lot more people watch the nba in China than in the US. It’s easy to give up that money when it’s not yours.

Epic Games stated they would not punish anyone for speaking out against Hong Kong or the Chinese government.

They have enough money to say **** you to the Chinese. Good on them.

Yup. Now let’s get back to talking about Davidson taking Curry’s degree back.

Michael Pillsbury, an informal White House adviser on China, said he received information about the business activities of Hunter Biden during a visit to Beijing in the same week Donald Trump urged China to probe the son of Joe Biden.

“I got a quite a bit of background on Hunter Biden from the Chinese,” Mr Pillsbury told the Financial Times.

Mr Trump came under heavy criticism last week after publicly urging China to investigate the Bidens in a move that mirrored his request to the Ukraine’s president in a July phone call that has sparked an impeachment inquiry.

I read that if the NBA and China broke ties, the salary cap would decrease by 15% next year. That's how much of an impact China has.
