How Stupid Are They?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Well yes, 90% of whats on AOL is Trump bashing by the Washington Post.

Actually, it's Thompson-Reuters and Business Insider - ever since Verizon migrated its e-mail business over to AOL, I get to see all this rubbish. The internet is not a good source of the news.

My mistake Rufus. It was Yahoo news. They linked to the AOL article. Same CIRCUS just different players.

Not my circus; not my monkeys.

Remember Rufus has the world of the dark clown circus, and some of those clowns look like monkeys.

The 3 BAD boys from UCLA are on there way home thanks to Trump. President Trump personally asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping to help resolve the case during his visit to Beijing last week,

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said Tuesday the matter "has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Chinese authorities."Scott thanked Trump, the White House and the State Department for their efforts in resolving what he called "the incident with authorities in Hangzhou, China."

UCLA Men's Basketball players LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley were arrested after being accused of stealing designer sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team’s hotel in Hangzhou. They boarded a plane on Tuesday and are headed back to Los Angeles. The rest of the team flew back last Saturday.

I hope they learned that they can't do whatever they want anytime they want.
If they didn't, maybe they should have stayed there longer.

I wish they'd get tossed off the team and lose their scholarships. Supports my theory, that most professional football and basketball players are nothing more than thugs who got lucky with a god given talent.

How will liberals cry about that?

Not giving them a chance to reach their potential.

Wait for it - the school has yet to weigh in and is probably waiting for these idiots to be on campus before taking action. NCAA has not acted yet either.... Basketball is really under a microscope right now more than ever before with FBI investigating stuff.

I think that thinking is a few decades out of date - some bad apples but there are some in every profession. Seems that a lot of pros do a lot of very quiet charity work that we don't get told about -- sort of like JJ Watt raising $35 million for Huston after the flooding.

I do have to question all the scholarships handed out to kids to attend college that just happen to have talent. I'd like to see those be a contract where if the kid leaves school early to turn pro he has to at least pay everything back preferably with penalties per year.

I find it ironic that UCLA won't let Trump supporters speak. Looks to me like this was more of a campaigning move. If no legal action is taken by the Chinese government. Then how can UCLA take action? Trump did better then i would have. i would have let them be jailed.
Here is a guy upset with his jail time. He has a hand full of probation violations so the judge jailed him. Last few nights people have been protesting in Philly about this. It seems as if the new DA. will let him out after he gets sworn in.

Then how can UCLA take action?

They can do just about anything they want to do. That they were charged with a crime is enough....

[robert.]

Allegedly. No guilt has been proven or admitted yet. Do i think they did it yes. Should they be booted from the school. Not if they can pay their tuition. Their scholarships should be pulled. It's probably easier for the NCAA to pull them then for UCLA to do it. They did a great job of representing Div.1 sports in america.
One problem is China has a steak in making money from the younger ball kid and his father. The youngest ball wont go to college. He'll go play in china until he is 19. He will help china get a spotlight on their basketball program. I'll just follow the money and try to get over it

Colleges and universities don't have to prove guilt to punish students; they've done it for decades. The NCAA can suspend them and pretty much force the school to act.....

All smells of privileged and connected. If they are going to get rich, then the school needs to can them.

[robert.]

It smells of a well done privilege. Those that scream life's not fair need to realize sometimes life is not fair. At some point Major sports needs to throw lots of money into these training grounds called Universities. I also believe had Trump not been in china when he was this would have a different outcome. These 3 are underclassmen none starters. They'll sit for half a year that they would never have played in anyway. I'd make the 3 of them change majors to Asian studies. I'll bet you can get a Phd in it from UCLA.
