First Half Discussion: Blazers vs. Heat
Stay on the topic of the game during official Game Day threads. We ask that the focus be a little tighter because everyone is gathering for the same reason, the game that unites us all. Be smart and charitable—or at least honest and relatable—in the discussion. (Also avoid the classic internet trolling techniques: overt snark, comment repetition, etc.) Obviously no language that diminishes people based on race, gender, orientation, and the like is allowed.

Donald Trump Has Yet Another Hand Bruise — And A Sketchy Excuse
Trump didn’t mention the bruise during his address, unlike his recent near-miss with a binder clip. MS Now reviewed footage of the event, but was unable to find a moment where Trump bashed his hand. However, photos and videos from the beginning of the event don’t show the bruising on the left hand. In addition, White House officials noted that the bruise did not appear on Trump’s hand during photos taken on Wednesday.

House Republicans Move To Block Jan. 6 Payout For Republican Senators
WASHINGTON — Congress is set to repeal a controversial new law allowing certain U.S. senators to claim millions of dollars in damages from the Justice Department. It’s revenge for House Republicans, who were furious when their Senate counterparts slipped what’s essentially a personal payday into a government funding bill that ended the longest government shutdown in U.S. history last fall. We wanted to get more evidence of that, to corroborate it for trial.”Most senators disavowed the payout provision, which was added to the government funding bill by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) Scott and other House Republicans were disgusted when they learned about the provision, saying it looked like an obvious self-enrichment scheme. Even though they mostly subscribe to Trump’s lies about Jan. 6, they unanimously added the repeal to a must-pass funding bill on Thursday.
