Rumors are swirling after Dodgers owner Mark Walter, under federal investigation for potential fraud, reportedly agreed to sell the Lakers to President Donald Trump's son-in-law's brother after a recent White House visit.

Walter reportedly sold his controlling stake to Jared Kushner's brother Josh and former Disney CEO Bob Iger for more than $12 billion just weeks after he visited the White House and only a year after the Buss family sold the storied franchise to Walter, multiple reports show.

Our country is tanking because morons like you voted to hand our democracy over to oligarchs, who know just how to manipulate your tiny brain with scary stories about trans people and brown people and imaginary communists.

LOL
Trump added $8 trillion to the debt in his first term.
Trump is close to adding $4 trillion in his second term.
Trump is tanking the country.

The most important lesson here is that you're getting what you voted for, but you're still not happy.
You'll never be happy.
You tanked years ago.
