I'm not a big fan of Mark Cuban, but his assessment of things after the debate is pretty dead on.

I want to know why Piers "Punchable Face" Morgan is even trying to weigh in.

I guess he's getting ready for the inevitable GB + US merger, thinking that countries should function like corporations.

He lost me when he called Biden the "ethical candidate". He is the less disgusting choice, but he is in no way an "ethical choice".

I think he means ethical in the way he explained it after he said that- ethical in that he respects the oath of office and doesn't use it to enrich himself.

I am sure that Cuban is politically savvy enough that there is no such thing as a truly ethical president (except maybe Jimmy Carter).

I have never heard of that outlet and I don't have any reason to give it my trust.

Until there is literally a smoking gun, I have no serious reason to believe that Carter is anything less than a man who has done his best to be good. He was also a human being, and I’m sure people can dig up a bad interaction if they look hard enough. Still, it doesn’t invalidate his lifetime of attempts at making a positive impact on the world.

Carter ain’t no Cosby.
