Lavar ball is fighting with Trump now. Instead of thanking the president he attacked him. Now Trump said he should have kept his son in jail.

I am unsure why lavar is doing this???

That idiot was acting like it was no big deal his son got caught stealing in the first place. If anyone acted entitled as if to say "we're stars, we have nothing to worry about" it would be him. When I first saw that after his son was arrested, I thought he was a total jerk.

"As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "I'm happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.' I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.
 
They are both reacting ridiculously. And my days of expecting the President of the United States to be the bigger man are 100% over. The prestige of that office is completely trashed. The White House is just a trashy reality show now and deserves the same level of respect.

As for the basketball player? After you have disgraced your college and team by breaking the law in a foreign country, it is best not to draw attention to yourself by criticizing others. Kind of like Trump chiming in on Franken. It is just a foolish thing to do.

Hearing a nation of patriots soil themselves over a disgraced college and team via a player's breaking a shoplifting law in a foreign country while its war criminals and global military arms dealers walk free and give speeches to adoring crowds is rather surreal.

Ah, the imaginary war criminals and the much maligned people who make guns. Truly, these people excuse the idiocy of Lavar Ball and the stupidity of kids breaking the law in a totalitarian regime.

You sold NK nuclear reactors (and you helped pay for them) a mere two years before you placed them on an "axis of evil list" once trillions in mineral deposits were discovered. Ya gave Saddam the chemical weaponry that you were aghast he used on his own. You supply the internationally illegal cluster bombs, known to have a 90% collateral casualty rate in the field, that the Saudis rain down on Yemen - to Wahabists, the most virulent of Islamists. You are the planet's premier purveyor of military hardware often supplying opposing factions.

If america had any real revulsion to dealing with totalitarian regimes those players would not have been in that country in the first place. That kid did not embarrass anyone, america is embarrassing.

Trump speaks for many more people than Lavar does. If this would have been part of an Obama enterage they would still be there. They had no respect for Obama, but didn’t choose to upset Trump. These young men are “goodwill ambassadors” and are expected to show the better side of the USA.

To defend his son by saying ripping off a vendor is no big deal is going to play well in Chinese propaganda circles. Maybe we should Go Fund Me a plane ticket for his son to face the Chinese criminal justice system and settle it once and for all.

I’d like to hear what junior thinks.

Even assuming you are correct, specifically who are the war criminals?

Ah, the old "America is bullying North Korea if we don't let them get nuclear weapons, and clearly evil if we believe their lies that the reactors were for peaceful purposes" shtick. Yawn. You never do learn any new tricks do ya bud.

I hate to burst your bubble, but unlike people like you, everyone in the US knew North Korea was an evil regime for decades---well before the Axis of Evil. Perhaps if you didn't get all your information from long debunked conspiracy theories and third rate anti American propaganda, you'd know that.

Gee buddy, isn't the official socialist line that Saddam didn't have WMDs? What happened? You can't have it both ways.

Yet more wailing about people you don't care about. What a surprise. And amazingly, your entire list proves absolutely nothing.

Yes, the fact that people like you spew third rate anti American propaganda is embarassing. Head up chum, one day people will "see the light" and go for an oppressive tyranny like the ones you support.

I am not thrilled with Trump here, but he is certainly far more right than the other guy.

And yet, here you are, enjoying your freedom of speech.

All which has nothing to do with the thread. Move along.

It was a no win situation.

Bring them home = Crucify Trump!

Leaving them behind would have been = Crucify Trump!

At least they are not in a Chinese prison for years....That's something.

To be fair these players created this situation on their own egged on by a broken society that fails to educate about so many common sense ideals like honesty, respect, personal responsibility, right and wrong, etc..

TDS must be pretty infections in a bubble of groupthink.

Ball seems to be lashing out over his deep guilt about failed parenting.

Don't steal seems pretty basic.

He has one alleged wonderkid who cant sink a basket with the Lakers, and another who is a petty criminal and kicked off his team....that has got to hurt.

We sold NK reactors with the agreement they not produce weapons. An agreement THEY broke.

And what 'Chemical weapons' did we send Iraq?

And 'internationally illegal cluster weapons'? Are we a signatory to that?

So, when a kid does good things the parents are good parents but when kids do bad things that's bad parenting...

Seriously?
