    It’s the billionaire’s biggest single political donation ever."

    I’m surprised that people are surprised by this. They go with where the money and power is at currently. Rich people political shit.

    Welp - that's the nail in the coffin for me. Not that I spent much money on the Blazers to begin with, but not another penny.

    With all that tax help he is getting from Trump, he can open his wallet and make Portland a fucking Contender.

    It's called reinvesting.

    I no longer consider this rational or hopeful.

    I did a search for Paul Allen before I made my thread - I'm guess the antifa thread title was a Sly joke?

    Somehow I don't think this is what Jimi would've wanted, Paul.

    Not sure what you mean? There was already a thread about this in the OT section. That thread, which I didn't create, had an antifa title. I merged the two threads into the OT section because I want to keep politics out of the main forum. When I merged the two threads I went with your thread title because it was more accurate, IMO.

    If you had my seats and my money you'd be spending plenty.
