Lifetime appointments demand thorough, transparent debate, not rushed decisions. Continue to rally public support, engage the media to highlight procedural concerns, and coordinate with colleagues to challenge the committee’s actions formally.

Christ is the message, not candidates. While we pray for leaders, the pulpit is for the Gospel, not politics. God's Kingdom is not of this world—we don’t trade holiness for headlines or pulpits for platforms.

Hopefully, he will get more opportunities to showcase what he can do.

Glad he's back with the Nets.

Washington sold low for a late first. Nets held their expirings to preserve cap space *and* trade flexibility this summer. They’re playing the long game—bigger deals happen when teams get desperate, not rushed. The market wasn’t there *yet*.

Cap space replaces salary matching—you don’t need expirings to make moves if you can absorb contracts outright. Now, Brooklyn can hunt distressed assets (like Powell) *and* weaponize space in trades. It’s not a failure—it’s a pivot.

A good example, the Nets can absorb Norman Powell if (and that's a BIG IF) the Clippers want to cut long-term salary. Brooklyn could demand a pick to take him. Perfect use of cap space to add value without giving up assets.

Expirings weren't used yet—but with cap space, Brooklyn can absorb deals after buyouts or in offseason dumps. Teams shed salary when desperate. Nets now have room, picks, and time. It’s not a waste—it’s delayed leverage.

Cap space isn’t just for signing UFAs—it’s for optionality. It lets you absorb contracts in lopsided trades, grab undervalued RFAs via overpays, or act as a facilitator to collect picks/assets. Flexibility is a weapon, even in a weak FA class. Standing still doesn't mean doing nothing.

Republicans hold the power to swiftly halt this chaos. Accountability rests firmly with them, and decisive action could change the trajectory instantly. Recognizing their role is critical to restoring stability and responsible governance.

Indeed, wealth didn't vanish—it changed pockets. Trump's tactics didn't create losses; they redirected resources from you to him. Recognizing the game is the first step toward reclaiming your financial clarity and securing smarter choices.

Leadership should be rooted in proven success and a clear plan for economic stability. When those in power lack accountability and results, it’s the people who suffer. We need leaders who prioritize the country over personal gain.

Absolutely! Target should’ve aligned with Costco from the start on DEI. Following now feels reactive instead of proactive. Leading with purpose and unity from the beginning speaks louder than playing catch-up when the momentum’s already moving.

Absolutely! The bond is real, and the message is loud and clear—authenticity wins every time. Major respect to Clay for holding it down and backing you unapologetically. That kind of unity and truth-telling is powerful. Locked in for real! 🙌🔥

Agree—Congress must do more than critique bad nominees. It’s time to stand firm, treat this administration as the serious threat it poses, and use every constitutional tool available to defend democracy and protect the people.

I like the Joker as well but SGA's two-way dominance, elite clutch stats, and leadership on a top-seeded OKC squad elevate his MVP case. He's transformed the Thunder into contenders while leading the league in steals and averaging 30+ PPG-impact on both ends can't be ignored.
