WASHINGTON—Warning that interior defenses were spread too thin, experts confirmed this week that Team USA’s arrival in France for the Olympics had left America’s own basketball rims largely unguarded. “In a strategic blunder of historic proportions, the U.S. men’s national basketball team landing in Paris has left an uncontested path to the basket,” said national security expert Emmett Stein, explaining that Americans lacked the necessary shot blockers and bigs to protect the paint on courts at home. “At the current moment, our nation is woefully vulnerable to foreign threats against basketball rims on its own shores. A foreign player with a basketball at the top of the key could drive for an easy layup with little resistance.” At press time, America was devastated after foreign basketball adversaries attacked a domestic rim with a tomahawk dunk.

    Hillary was right. The entire MAGA movement is just a basket of deplorables.

    Lol the police declared martial law for 10 days after the shooting

    Police cannot declare martial law. A Governor can, but not police. So, wrong again lmao. Listen, I don't have the time or inclination to keep correcting you on basic history and civics, so I'm just going to go ahead and block you now.

    Reread the sentence you quoted carefully. The Kent State Massacre was not a response to a mass shooting. So no, it doesn't take that title.
