Well at least our VP is finally taking on something more in line with her mental capacity. I'm relieved that this Administration is finally tackling the hard-hitting issues. The fact that this dolt is one heartbeat away from running this country is just...wow.


Vice President Kamala Harris
@VP

The majority of domestic flights do not have accessible restrooms.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Our Administration will soon announce a solution to help end this inequity.

Lol probably one of those things that Paul referred to as things that matter.

Let’s be honest though, like you alluded to, we don’t want her tackling things that are actually important

Sure. He’s in the running with Tuberville at this point.

Well! That sure sounds like it IS an antitrust issue....

Yeah. And what I said is correct. The PGA Tour held a monopoly for years, crushed a proposed Players Union, then was all upset when competition reared.
LIV dropped the suit because the PGA Tour then wanted a merger-because they read the landscape and saw they would lose in court. There was already an investigation of the PGA Tour in place.

From the last article from Time:
While the PGA Tour for decades held a monopoly position over professional golf, the deal would establish a new dominant association with complete control over an industry that only recently gained a competitor. The Justice Department, which was already conducting an antitrust investigation into the PGA Tour, will review the proposed deal. So, too, will antitrust enforcers in the United Kingdom and Europe. The agencies will probe the agreement’s impacts on players, workers, sponsors, and television broadcasters. They will also be forced to evaluate whether a new league would effectively stifle innovations that rivals typically concoct to make the game more entertaining to fans.

The players win with another well funded entity involved.

Lol that last sentence is classic. You walked right into that one and shows yet again how clueless you and buddy lou are. So is it pga tour antitrust or is it the new entity that the congressional hearings are about? Lol

The investigation is about the combination of the PGA Tour with LIV. It's about all three of the PGA Tour, LIV and the proposed combined entity.

But from an antitrust perspective the creation of LIV only helped matters (it increased competition by 100%)...until the merger, of course.

Maybe he’ll agree to say nothing more to avoid some jail time? Obviously FARA violations could be taken off the table because the other guy did the same.

I think another reason the PGA Tour wanted a merger is they couldn’t afford to go to trial against the essentially unlimited funds of the Saudis who could string them along until they were bankrupt.
