I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Silly Trump question:

I know he owned/tried to own a league to try and rival the NFL.

But did he ever own a team in said league? Which one?

And I also know that the whole thing kicked off because he wanted to buy a NFL team but they wouldn't let him. Do we know which team he wanted?

Also given the Saudis own Premier League/La Liga/League 1 teams, and Trump is just about as evil as them, has he ever made any noises about buying a top flight football/soccer team?

:smugdon: has tried to buy a couple different football teams now. I believe the USFL was because he tried to buy the Baltimore Colts and was blocked. He was trying to buy the Buffalo Bills as recently as 2014.

He bought the New Jersey Generals in the USFL in 1984. The team was notable for "signing" a still-in-college Herschel Walker through a weird contract (before Trump's purchase of the team). And Donald Trump insisting they draft Doug Flutie to an insanely overvalued contract that he insisted other teams partially pay for when Flutie was a bust.

The USFL went bankrupt as a direct result of Trump strongly encouraging the league to set their season up head-to-head with the NFL when the originally better idea was to run the season during NFL offseason to get viewers. The USFL, after getting frozen out from broadcast and stadium deals after going directly against the NFL, sued the NFL. They won a whopping $1, which was tripled to $3 as the courts rightly saw it was a self inflicted wound.

In short, LOL

Is it because it's an old boys club, or do they think he would do harm to the league as a whole?

I like James Austin Johnson’s version of Trump better than Alec Baldwin’s. Baldwin’s was a stupid, obnoxious bully and chuds think that’s tough and “alpha.” Johnson portrays him more as a sundowning, rambling grandpa, and that’s more true-to-life.

Alec Baldwin’s Trump was too masculine. :colbert:

Biden knows that the GOP is doing the Mitch McConnell play of saying no to literally any of his policy proposals, so he's giving them everything they could conceivably want knowing that they'll vote it down out of spite so he can look like the only adult in the room

Johnson is going to fold and bring it to a vote. The man has no backbone. Biden's going to hammer him on the issue and lay the manufactured border crisis at their feet.

It's not a bipartisan border agreement it is a Republican border agreement.

My cousin loves the Bills almost as much as he loves Trump. Which I find funny because Trump would have absolutely moved them out of the city if he'd managed to buy them.

Eh, I don't think it's Biden playing 5D chess, I think Dems are just falling into the age old trap of letting Republicans set the narrative. Republicans crying that there's a border crisis so Joe goes out of his way to fix the made up crisis.

This is also, and I cannot stress this enough, an absolutely ghoulish move on the part of both political parties. Playing chicken with the lives of migrants (who, to be clear are likely to die regardless of which party's border policies are in place) is unbelievably callous and shows a deep indifference to migrant suffering and / or the death of children.

There is a border "crisis" in the sense that migration is up significantly since covid restrictions wound down and the US economy spun up, and it's creating real policy questions in places that are seeing an influx of people. It's just that one party is basically saying to shoot them at the border in response to a multi-faceted issue (that's mostly a downwind effect of US policy in the first place, which no one wants to acknowledge) that will require a bunch of resources to deal with in a mature way. And while the democrats are caving to the narrative, based on polling americans have broadly bought into the la migra narrative.
