Absolutely disgusting tweet by the owner of the Florida Panthers. Here is more context.

My only regret in this ordeal, is that one of these two organizations has to win.

... and I unironically picked FLA last year to win it all after the first round.

Ive heard that trump is really pissed at Israel for breaking peace now. Real falling out with Netaniahu.

To the point he now signed peace with houthis just for US and left them to attack Israeli ships.

And that Hamas is now working direct with US and Trump will recognize Palestine as independent state. All because Israel violated peace agreement Trump brokered and now wants to take over the rest of the Palestine

Additional context: "He's said to be at the heart of a stolen $400m pension fund."

This shit is why y'all need to stop caring what fascists tweet and pay more attention to what they do.

Imagine being that rich and still tweeting like a 14 year old CoD player

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

My imagination hurts now

That was work

It's nice that FloridaMan had time to reveal his inner racist. Maybe he can understand why Canada wouldn't touch his state with a 10 metre pole.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The metre pole detail is just mmm! chef’s kiss

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That’s a damn long pole. Giggity

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For the Americans 10 meters is roughly 37 Subway "footlongs".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I'm thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Well, with America's current lack of regulation? I'd expect to see that soon! Or companies charging more for the actual spec.

Yeah, the Palestinians are Semites. If anyone is antisemitic, it's the Zionist colonists who came from Europe. People don't have beef with Judaism or Israel in this case. They have a beef with genocidal Zionists.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Palestinians

Read this as panthers. Was confused how puma concolor was semitic for a few beats.

Annnnnd just like that I care about the Leafs in the playoffs, now. I really hope we can make that man sadder.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Totally predicable for the past 60 years, news?

Do they add meth to the water supply in Florida? Yikes.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

In my 20s I was very skeptical of fluoride in the water supply(even then conspiracy theories were prevelant), 30 yrs later, I think it has MORE than proven its efficacy

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 2 points 22 hours ago

Yep, it's on the CDC's top ten public health success list. I moved to a different town in my 20s that only started adding fluoride ten years prior. A dental hygienist recently told me she could tell I wasn't originally from the area because my teeth were too good for someone my age that grew up here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe too much fluoride, that's why they're so developmentally challenged over there.

When this whole fucking thing backfires and we end up with a communist revolution, there's going to be a lot of people in a real big hurry to delete their xitter accounts.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah that's not gonna happen. It's gonna be a few decades of fascism and then back to neoliberals.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean, a guy can cope, okay?

We're not going to get that far, though. We've got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We're just gonna plug our ears and yell "la la la can't hear you" while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Don't be ludicrous, the climate will collapse before the neoliberals rebuild their power structures.

Archive it all.

Real question. Even though I'm certain it's just projection. Where did the anti semite thing come from?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

OP added a link above. Here's a screenshot of the start of it on X.

We need to somehow get it into Donald's head that Israel should be the 51st state.

Maybe it’s Viking blood in me or something, but I really want this man afraid to show his face in my country…

Someone tell him to stop swimming in the water when Redtide is happening

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

What an ass.

That's not the owner of the Panthers according to Wikipedia, but absolutely disgusting nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

This is the Florida Panthers Vice Chairman, Partner and Alternate Governor, Doug Cifu, talking shit to a Maple Leafs fan last night.

He's part of the board of the company that owns it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the NHL is coming down on him, and his account is now deleted lol

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is there more context for this?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rich people are often cunts.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The only recent news I'm aware of where the words Israel and Toronto are relevant is university of Toronto faculty voting to divest from Israel, but something tells me this guy isn't one to keep up with news from academia.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.
