Tin Foil Dan Rather's Theory: LeBron Went to Lakers to ‘Resist’ Trump

Eighty-six-year-old liberal journalist Dan Rather seems to be getting more conspiratorial as he ages. The disgraced ex-CBS Evening News anchor on Monday speculated that the reason NBA star LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers is to... fight Donald Trump.

It’s true that James is liberal, but one respondent on Twitter perhaps summed up how odd Rather’s conspiracy theory is: “I dunno. I think he went there to play basketball for the Lakers.”

Rather wasn’t done offering deep thoughts on Monday. Later in the day, he linked the summer heat to global warming.

Wouldn’t it make more sense then for him to stay in Ohio, where Trump won?

Hell, for 35 or 40 million a year, I’d run around in shorts in LA to resist Trump. At least for my day (or evening) job.

LeBron has been a total jerk. He made a well-publicized statement about how Trump supporters need to be educated. He refused to stay in Trump hotels with the team. He has been consistently outspoken about the issue.

He might be more comfortable in a place which shares his political sickness.

To show his commitment to resisting Trump he moved to California so he could pay 13% more in taxes.....

We’ll assume that margin was factored into the next best pay package offered.

$154M - 13% =~$134M

James went to the Lakers for $152 million and a chance for a championship. No other reasons.

It seems whenever there's a deep freeze in winter, the climate change deniers jump on Twitter. It’s 100 degrees outside... the silence is deafening.


Wow, 100 degrees.

Try the Heat wave of 1980...

You know, before global warming proglib garbage.

Apparently there ain't five bucks worth of sanity between all of them put together.

Thanks again Buckhead.

One of the first responses to “Memogate”, the controversy surrounding CBS News’ use of documents of questionable origin during the 2004 presidential campaign, came on Free Republic the night of the broadcast.

[29] When the “Killian memos” (which were allegedly created during the 1970s) were shown during a CBS News broadcast, a Republican lawyer going by the pseudonym of “Buckhead”[30] mentioned the memos’ proportional spacing and made the claim that such printing was “not widespread until the mid to late 90’s”.

[31] Buckhead’s post and some responses spread across the blogosphere rapidly, and were picked up by the Drudge Report the following afternoon.

[32] Within minutes of Buckhead’s post, there was some dispute as to whether the Executive line of IBM typewriters had proportionally spaced fonts at the time, arising from a comment on the Power Line blog. The dispute made headlines when an investigative panel set up to examine authenticity issues with the documents “was not able to reach a definitive conclusion”.

[33] Canadian journalist Ivor Tossell later opined that Free Republic was “central to the network of websites that uncovered the forged memos about Bush’s Vietnam service that appeared on CBS News and ultimately cost Dan Rather his job.”

"Eighty-six-year-old liberal known communist journalist Dan Rather"

Isn't it amazing that Batista's army could not find Castro in the Sierra Maestra mountains but Communist Rather found him easily and interviewed him in the same Sierra Maestra mountains?

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that LeBron James has a net of about $440 million.
