Cuban always seemed like a decent guy. When the revolution comes, we should make his execution as swift and painless as possible.

And we'll use every part of the Mark Cuban, to show our respect.

Make a Mark Cuban sandwich

Whenever I see Mark Cuban, I think he looks like he's going to eat someone.

Interesting. I thought Cuban was a republican for some reason.

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 17 points 1 month ago

I think Mark Cuban was primarily Republican until Trump. If you google, there have been many comments hes made against Trump because he knows Trump is a trash leader

He seems actually very progressive. I dont know any exact details but I've heard his pharma company is very philanthropic and I believe he has historically been a democratic backer

He also started Cost Plus for direct to consumer prescription drugs trying to fight back on insanely high drug prices. I mean I'm sure he's doing it for his own benefit but it still helps millions...
