I do feel bad for the kid. She likely had no choice.

@Reignmond The worst treatment came from her own coach.

@BufftonBeotch I quite imagine that is true.

@Reignmond I mean on that very night where the child collapsed and the coach was screaming.

The child was still the 4th best in the entire world.

She is only 15. She'll be back in Milano Cortina.

They have been drinking the CNN/MSNBC cool aid for so long it's impossible to reason with them.

@BD66 Drunk, stoned, or stupid is all I can figure.

Trump is a traitor to this country who goaded his brainless mob of cult-like followers to attempt a coup by attacking our nation's capital. He and his scumbag followers should all be in prison for treason.

@Charles1971
A Coup? There’s video of them being let in by security and none of them were armed. Pretty stupid, yes; but a coup…. Please……

@CourtJester There's also video of Trump supporters pushing their way into the Capitol, climbing in through broken windows, on the floor of the Senate. Those police were out-numbered a hundred to one. They destroyed equipment of reporters. They attacked police with pepper spray and batons.

This was the U.S. Capitol on the day that the Supreme Court was verifying the electoral votes for Biden. The mob of Trump supporters intentionally and violently interrupted our election process in an attempt to change the outcome. They wanted the votes of the people of this country to count for NOTHING and instead illegally keep their piece of garbage leader in power for another four years.

I can't understand how this doesn't make anyone sick to their stomach. What happened last year on Jan 6th was unprecedented in U.S. history... an attack on our Capitol. Every single Trump supporter involved in that riot is a traitor and should be in prison.

@Charles1971 why weren’t they killed? Only one. If it was a coup there should have been far more bodies.

@CourtJester I said it was an attempted coup. It failed miserably because it was orchestrated by an idiot and carried out by morons. And a total of five people died as a result of the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6th plus four police officers who later committed suicide.

@Charles1971 And they all went in for a coup unarmed.

Put down the crack pipe.

@CourtJester People carrying batons, pepper spray, and baseball bats are considered armed. But if you'd rather just call it a failed insurrection then that's fine with me.

@Charles1971 The democrats just need something to cry about. It was far from a coup and every democrat knows it.

@CourtJester Unlike conservatives who cry about what bathroom someone is using, someone kneeling at a sports game, any discussion of race in public schools, face masks, what consenting adults are doing in the privacy of their own bedrooms, the gender and color of who a person marries, Starbucks coffee cups, the teaching of science, immigrants, political correctness... and that's only in recent history.

@Charles1971 you never said “unlike what”.

Do better

So they are all flip flopping because nobody understood they were being sarcastic and now they are clarifying what they really mean? Or the new positions they are now taking are actually sarcastic because they don't really mean them? Not sure I get your point.

@zeuser

1. Trump used sarcasm describing the Russia Ukraine situation.
2. Anyone with half a brain should have been able to sense the sarcasm.
3. The anti-Trump media took the statements made (using sarcasm) and tried to portray Trump as a supporter of Putin.
4. Trump has now made his position clear:

“The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. It’s an outrage, and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur,” he said Saturday night at CPAC. “We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine.”

It's really that simple.

There is nothing that u can say to defend your president . Let it go . Not the first or the last time that he opens his mouth and frogs and rocks are coming out . U trying to defend him , is comical . He does not give a flying fuck about u or any of u . Never did , and never will . Let it go .

@BD66 The # 1 defense and excuse of any egocentric asshole is “ I was kidding “. Or “ I was just sarcastic “.
Pls . Let me assure u , that takes brains . He got 0 next to nothing . Apparently the stupid led the blind , bcz his followers until this day , still , blind ?

@Pralina1 A lot of what you say is true: Trump is indeed an egocentric asshole.

Trump is not a professional politician, so he says stupid things to give ammunition to his enemies.

Calling Putin "Smart" is technically correct. Putin is a smart man, but he's also a murderous evil dictator.

However if you listen to Trump's speeches in their entirety (if you have the stomach for that), it's clear that Trump supports the Ukrainians and not Putin.

The other Republicans choose their words more carefully, and it's also clear they support the Ukrainians and not Putin.

@creative51 Right on!

@BD66 I'd answer you, but according to you, I have less than half a brain. Enjoy the weather on your planet. (Was that sarcasm?)

@BD66
Again, he's tried that "I was joking" line a bunch of times. Only idiots bought it before. Only idiots are buying it now. Don't you remember? He doesn't 'kid'.

[abcnews.go.com]

When Trump thought we joined Russia in attacking Ukraine with an amphibious assault, his response wasn't, "We should be on Ukraine's side" it was "The US should be doing that secretly".
How are you so fuckin' slow that you're still being duped by that absolute fucking moron?

Sanctions may work...in a year or so. Putin knew they would be coming and he has prepared. Sanctions are a very lame response.

@Reignmond Agreed. Lame as fuck.

@Reignmond I originally thought that the US should join NATO Allie’s and go to war with him. It may still come to that. What makes me hesitate, are Russia’s 6000 nuke warheads. Remember MAD? You know darn full well he’ll attack not only the US, but Western Europe too. So it can’t be a US decision to go in and beat his a$$. pukin doesn’t give a damn about how many innocent ppl he kills.

@CS60 Yeah, it is a scary idea. But I have long felt that it may not be one we can avoid ... unless we want to sing the Soviet National Anthem.

And yes, I am of the Baby Boomer generation and very well remember Air Raid Drills in school, and going down to my schools bomb shelter

@Reignmond I'm with you. We'll have to take a stand sooner or later. Why let him get more powerful before we do? And if we don't ever stand up to evil, the world is over anyway, so who gives a fuck. Let's see if he's ready to end the world or stay in his lane.

You can't stand with Trump and Ukraine.

@BD66 Suuuuuure. Trump never lies. He repeatedly praised Putin for the attack. Think maybe he was walking it back a little in the hopes Colbert didn't call his mouth Putin's cock holster again? Sounds more likely to me.

@JeffMurray Trump was using sarcasm. Trump made his position clear today.
