“This women's team won the World Cup twice. Donald Trump couldn't win the presidency twice... This team, particularly Rapinoe, can handle loss with dignity and grace—something Donald Trump continues to remain incapable of doing.”My @MSNBC commentary: http://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1688717368438960128 IP: Logged |

She choked. Missed an easy kick to win the match. Leftist chockers and losers. IP: Logged |

So? What is your problem with free speech? President Trump won twice, and it will soon be an undeniable third time. IP: Logged |

For me, it has nothing to do with patriotism... shrug~ I do feel that he is being characteristically petty with the comment he made about her. I am sure the Trump die hards will disagree with me, but I don't care. It's just not a good look nor is it presidential to engage in petty arguments with celebrities. It makes him look immature, quarrelsome, and like he has too much free time on his hands. Sometimes, DT needs to just stfu, and just enjoy his enemies' misfortunes in silence if he cannot do it with grace. IP: Logged |

How unpatriotic of Rapinoe and most of her teammates to take a knee when our national anthem is played at their matches. These grubby little leftist twits have no business representing the United States in any competitions. I've never heard a good word about the United States coming out of any of their little leftist mouths. The same goes for other athletes representing the United States. If they don't like the US, let them cross the border, present themselves at the nearest US Consulate and renounce their US citizenship. Oh, and good riddance. IP: Logged |

President Trump is just saying what the rest of us are thinking. And that is why we love him. That nut job laughed later in an interview about missing the kick. She didn’t belong on Team America. Good riddance. Maybe she can get a job at Waffle House. IP: Logged |

First of all, not all of us here on the right indulge in playground petty thoughts of nah nah nah, nah nah nah. Not everything that comes to the mind should be expressed out to the world. Mature people know this. This petty vindictive energy DT keeps putting out unsurprisingly keeps coming back to him tenfold. And this is not going to benefit him, the cause, or America for that matter. IP: Logged |

That is your opinion. Many of us (tens of millions that comprise his true and loyal base) do love President Trump’s responses. He hits back and hits hard, and we love it. Just because you call it petty doesn’t make it so. But you are entitled to that opinion. You are also free not to vote for him. But we want to see more of this side of President Trump, not less. His tweets were hilarious.

In order to win the WH, you are going to have to do more than depend solely on the fanatical, Trump-can-do-or-say-no-wrong base because that base is not big enough, and if you think that base is big enough, you are delusional. You are going to have to win independents, and people who are a little less fanatical in their allegiance. And they are watching this circus while shaking their heads. IP: Logged |

Funny how the polls show Independents are moving toward President Trump. But any Independents who would vote for Biden are truly delusional. We see what Biden's policies are reaping. And likewise, we already know what President Trump's policies will do for this country. We know exactly what we are getting with President Trump--good, bad, and ugly. And it's not globalism, like DeSantis will bring. IP: Logged |
