    I’m more disappointed by the US hockey team deciding have a celebrity locker room party with Kash Patel.

    If I were that guy that actually scored the goal, I would be super pissed. Putting in all that work, then losing teeth earlier in the game but still playing, then gutting out that last play, only to have the President pretend to be him without putting in all that work.

    Now that I think about it, though, it is a direct allegory for Donald Trump’s life. Always taking credit for the achievements of others, and putting his name on buildings he did not build himself.

      The player that scored the goal laughed along with everyone else. To top if off, his own mother is a former US women’s hockey player.

    It always amazes me how the people who couldn’t stop crying about Kaepernick taking a knee for the anthem (wahhhh don’t mix politics with sports waahhhh), suddenly don’t have shit to say when the director of the fucking FBI is partying with the US hockey team.

      It’s not amazing at all. They’re hypocrites. The only principle the adhere to is no accountability for themselves and totalitarian repression for everyone else.

      who couldn’t stop crying about Kaepernick taking a knee for the anthem

      Them: “Don’t protest in a violent, destructive, or even mildly inconvenient manner”

      Kaepernick “Ok…”

      Them: “No, not like that!” (Quiet part): “Just stfu and don’t protest at all.”

      Kaepernick’s method was absolutely genius because it doesn’t even cause any sort of obstruction or mild inconvience. People crying about it were really telling on themselves.

      I don’t mind the director of the fucking FBI partying with the US hockey team.

      What I do mind is the director of the fucking FBI partying with the US hockey team on the taxpayers’ dime.

      Kinda working the opposite way these days. Every wild headline is a glaring reminder that he’s certainly a child rapist and he has no skill at anything except being awkward and gross

      I was joking with my friends wondering when he’d steal one of the gold medals. Either like when he stole the FIFA medal or like Putin stole the Superbowl ring.

        You mean when he stole/coerced the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize into giving it to him? The FIFA peace prize was designed specifically for him, so the fuckheads FIFA could ingratiate themselves to him. Same with that bullshit ‘clean coal hero’ award.

        But I get it, there are so many fake and stolen award shenanigans going on with him it’s difficult for anyone to keep track.

          She’s fasc-adjacent at best, a long-time Trump toady, and so she almost certainly did it without coercion.

          Or the time he visited a wounded soldier, and hinted around until the guy actually offered his Purple Heart to him, and Trump actually took it, saying “I always wanted one of these!”

          Here’s the thing: Near the end of WW2, when America was preparing for an invasion of Japan, and anticipating horrifying casualties, they ordered millions of Purple Heart Medals. But the invasion never happened, and every Purple Heart handed out since, has come from that inventory, and they aren’t even close to denying it. They’ve never had to make another one.

          So if Trump wanted a Purple Heart so badly, all he’d have to do is make a call to Hegseth, and a Marine in dress blues would be hand delivering it within 30 minutes. But No, he had to take one from some young soldier, after haranguing him into submission.

          What a Putz.

          I think they were talking about the 2025 FIFA World Cup. not sure how much you can trust The White House or Trump, but dude claims they kept the ‘original’ FIFA 2025 World Cup Trophy lol and you’re right it’s very difficult to keep track at this point.

      Yeah he played on a team, and the opposing team let him score 4 goals, and putin was old too, like he should’ve been embarrassed to have people let him win like that.

        I know it’s never gonna happen because Donald knows deep inside how pathetic he is but… Man wouldn’t it be amazing if he tried to do this in real life and fight a Canadian hockey player? He’d probably fall and break a hip long before he has a chance to though.

    He’s barely clever enough to be a puck: he’s the center of attention alright, but he’s dumb as, well, a lump of rubber, and he’s being pushed around by clever players.

    “Unhinged” is not really a word with any value anymore as it relates to him. It implies that he’s crazy, but he is not. He’s got a rotten brain and a rotten soul and he works in the service of America’s/Humanity’s enemies. That’s not “unhinged”, that’s just plain hostility and malevolence.

    I instinctively downvoted this out of pure disgust. Then undid it because unfortunately this is relevant news, not his post. Yuck.
