@JKENNEDYJR11 Genuinely think they should be held responsible in cases like this.
English

@VigilantFox The incompetence and evil on display should not go unpunished. They would rather be painted well in the media and do evil, than do good and be misunderstood...

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.
"It's a huge, huge tragedy."
"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."
"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."
"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."
"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."
"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

@24Dparks Kessler being the top 3 rebounder + rim protector, while Ayton and Hayes were at the bottom, the difference will be noticed.
Imagine they turn Knecht, Vando, and maybe Bronny/Hardy into Kuminga, Thybulle, and Kaluma.
Smart will be missed, but the defense will be fine.
English

@Rightanglenews Seems like a pretty obvious effort to limit parents from their children both with healthcare and schools. Can't be passive about this stuff.
English

@Dyjon54 They are going to miss Smarts leadership, and def ply, but he certainly had moments where his offense was atrocious. Maybe they pick up Thybulle and Kuminga, and we will be happy the team has some high-efficiency offense.
English

@Hyperbaly @showtimeluka That's 1 season with a surgery that fixed the shoulder issue, which he had for years. Since it was fixed it won't be an issue for him any more, and yes, they tanked heavily. Look at the time and type of "injuries" he had in the other seasons.
Pure nonsense.
English

@PThavenius @showtimeluka tanking has been debunked. Kessler had surgery for a torn labrum and healing takes 5months to a year To recover So stop repeating what you hear everybody say. He’s only played more than 60 games in 2 of his 4 years. like Luca and AR he’s feebly injury prone.
English

@GreyRaj_ People blast Jake far too harshly, he played almost every game, he improved on defense, and it was clearly noticed statistically. Yes, his shot got awful towards the end, but he can get that back. He shot well before, and we even had the "who is nr 12?" moment. It's 6 mil not 26
English

Say what you want about LaRavia in the playoffs
But regular season Jake is a solid innings eater who defends decent and rebounds well
At $6M, I don’t mind keeping him around barring major upgrade
Good depth, only 24 too and last year’s playoffs were his first
He’ll get better
BBall Index@The_BBall_Index
The top 5 forwards in Offensive Rebounding Talent 1. Justin Champagnie 3.2 2. Tari Eason 2.7 3. Jordan Walsh 2.0 4. Kobe Brown 1.7 5. Jake LaRavia 1.7
English

@Yinoma2001 The offensive and defensive rebounds, and blocks, or just making shots tougher will be massive!
English

@LakerrsLane Thybulle on a vet min with Kuminga would be crazy.
English

@triffic_stuff_ People like that should never hold power, it's a terrible shame, and the political party in charge are allowing incompetence and quite evil people to hold power just because they ideologically agree on some things.
It blows my mind.

Jess Phillips has been utterly exposed as a fraud in this brutal Channel 4 interview.
The supposed champion for safeguarding women and girls just admitted she “absolutely understood” and “absolutely knew” that some r*p!sts, sex abusers and domestic abusers would walk free early under Labour’s scheme.
When pressed on why she and her party voted against the Conservative amendment to exclude these exact offenders from early release, her only defence? “There’s a prison crisis.”
Yes, Jess, there is but that’s no excuse for letting predators out sooner. The “safeguarding minister” shouldn’t be shrugging it off.
The interviewer confronted her with devastated victim statements. Phillips called the handling “appalling” and whined that some victims shouldn’t even be getting those letters. The interviewer fired back: “But that’s exactly what you voted for!”
Typical Jess Phillips: never taking responsibility. Just like when she blamed others in her party for “turning a blind eye” to grooming gangs (but never herself), or when she resigned from the Starmer government claiming she couldn’t get anything done only to throw him and the rest under the bus the moment it was politically convenient. It’s a clear pattern with her.
The same woman who was warned by the shadow justice minister that this would come back to haunt every single one of them. When the interviewer asked “does it haunt you now?”, Phillips coldly replied: “It doesn’t haunt me.”
Absolutely shameful, but entirely predictable from Jess Phillips.
Women and girls deserve so much better.

@pelinkaburner Sure, we are going to miss Smart and LeBron, but 44 wins? Really?
English

Smashing the Lakers over holy shit LMAO
Charles@BlockedByBamba
Vegas over/under totals as of July 16th

@CSmoove_Sports Absolutely, it's a clear-cut victory from everyone involved!

@Kareem_is_it The chihuahua was barking, prolly easy to get under his skin.

Kaluma been ballin so idk what Caleb is saying
Hoop Central@TheHoopCentral
“WHO ARE YOU?” — Caleb Wilson had words for Arthur Kaluma. 💀🍿 (h/t @chisportsross)
English

@24Dparks He isn't ready for that, and him losing games for the team will just make his development process worse. It's better to get him used to the rythm, build his body, get used to the tactics and tricks.
English

@Hyperbaly @showtimeluka If you call a tanking team having Kessler magically getting a sore toe, headache, flu etc injury prone suuuure. AR and Luka's defense is also narrative nonsense, based on missing 95% of the game.
It's a new team, and it usually takes a season to figure out style/chemistry.
English

@showtimeluka There has not been one oddsmaker who has the Lakers in the top 14 to win a championship. Luka and AR still can’t play defense and Luca AR and Kessler are injury prone. that’s why nobody believes in the Lakers, but the cheerleaders waving their pom-poms.

English

@PlayoffDude I'd absolutely keep Jake, but Hardy and Bronny could be added to the list.
English

@LakeShowLukaaa Best defensive cast to be sure. I'm excited to see how they would create their style and rotations, having both Kuminga and Thybulle would solve a lot of issues.
We have seen several seasons with players you can't use, talent level went down, but the depth vastly increased.
English

@RandPaul Billions are being wasted every year at the same time as the country is having enormous debt that gets pushed down the line until later generations will see it explode in their hands. Get to work.
English

Why did it take one young man with a camera to uncover what government inspectors failed to discover for decades? It’s simple.
Washington pays 90% of Medicaid expansion costs. To the states, it's basically free money, so they have zero incentive to check who's actually eligible for these benefits. Make it a 50-50 split between the federal government and the states, and you'll see states taking an interest in fraud real fast.
