Johnny Buss is the eldest Buss sibling and hasn’t really been involved with the lakers outside of symbolic positions.

His presidential run was composed a tour bus labeled the “Buss tour,” 4 instagram posts, and vapid hubris.

I always misremember one of Jerry’s failsons being co-owner of WOW (women’s wrestling promotion that is successor to GLOW) but it’s actually Jeannie. Johnny owned an arena soccer team not a women’s pro wrestling promotion.

Depressingly though, WOW might be the Buss kids’ most successful venture!

Was he hoping that Bush voters would live up to their reputation as illiterate and cast their vote for him not noticing the difference? Not a bad strategy.

This is straight up House of the Dragon

The way dad set up his inheritance set all of his children on a collision course. And some of them are a lot younger and have a different mother.

Believe it or not, there’s a lot of media about families fighting over inheritance. Some not even in the last 10 years crazy enough.

take a look at the inheritance of the Agnelli family (owners of Italy’s biggest car manufacturing industry, FIAT, which merged with Chrysler some years ago, and notably historical owners of the most popular italian football club, Juventus. oh, and of course, Ferrari). there’s some cold blooded shit over there

HBO needs to bring back Winning Time and John C Reilly as Jerry Buss. Except change the focus from the basketball to the Buss family.

I would’ve voted for him if I heard he was running.

He couldn’t have been any worse than the main two options that were front and center!

She was fine, and that’s it. She didn’t get nominated, instead she was thrown at the voters when it was clear Biden was too old to run again. She did horribly in the 2020 primaries for a reason. I still voted for her because it was by far the better option. I just wish we could’ve had a primary where we got to choose

rawspeghetti | Celtics

Well there was the fact that she had no real position on issues and instead said whatever she thought would get her elected. Also there was no primary in 2024 and she did terrible in 2020 so it’s not like she’s ever had a huge base to turn to. Her time as VP was plagued with a disfunctional office with her at the center.

Still better than the other option but let’s not pretend that she was anyone’s first choice outside of maybe the DNC

I don’t disagree with a majority of what you’re saying - but she very much did have ‘real positions on issues’

The claim that she did not is misinformation that was constantly repeated

Being a largely ineffective vice president for multiple years and receiving the nomination with nobody actually voting for her was a big problem.

Still voted for her though, begrudgingly

War Criminal and Liar. Who also had no business being VP or the Democratic nominee.

As the Buss family turns the Lakers into a version of Succession. It is worth remembering that Johnny Buss ran for president in 2024.
