@Patti1120 That was my feeling too. It’s a money-loser, but still, what is pride worth?
Steve Kornacki did a good job yesterday showing the value of a country’s hosting the Olympics regarding the increase of their usual medal tally. But one thing I’d like to know: Has any country actually made a profit from hosting them? Is the cost worth the prestige? Gotta admit, though, the venue in Paris this year, using world-famous landmarks as backdrops, was spectacular.
@danielbsmith If he doesn’t like “weird,” that’s the point, right? I don’t see why he takes such umbrage at the term, but whatever works!
@Lucky188 It IS interesting that the name-calling Trumpists are upset by the term. Who knew? Their lame response is what Trump likes to do - turn it back on them in his typical schoolyard fashion: “No, Harris is the weird one. With that weird laugh.” And, “I’m not a puppet, Hillary. You’re the puppet.”
@ReneeVoiceBrand Hmm. Prefer freakish over freaky. The latter sounds too much like fun-loving. I just thought of one: cringe-worthy.
@ExPatExp88 Maybe too clinical? How about, cringe-worthy?
@allin Me too.
@AskTheDevil Yeah, they seem to be upset by it. But I think Kamala should grimace instead of smile when she calls them that, so it doesn’t come off like a jokey put-down.
@TwiHusband Well, they may claim to be just conservatives, and hide under that label, but they’re really right-wing extremists. Nothing wrong with being a Conservative, though they lack vision for future progress. Keep what you have, don’t venture forward is their philosophy. But today’s faux “conservatives” want to take the country back to when minorities and women had no say in governing.
@PussyFootingAround Yes. But did he have a cat? 😉
@JerseyTomato Wow! The Villages? Trump country. Love it!
@sfleetucker Speaking of masculinity, what is masculine about Trump? A man who disparages women, never accepts responsibility for errors and blames others, who compares the risk of contracting an STD with being in combat, who ridicules disabled veterans, complains constantly about being a victim because people are out to get him, and has never been a “family” man.
@MarceloPaezPereda Yes, polls show a majority of Americans willing to vote for a woman, but that number is declining compared to a few years ago. And Hillary’s popular vote win was boosted by the populous blue states. She lost the swing states.
#politics So, polls tell us that Americans aren’t sure they’re yet ready for a woman as president. Unlike the rest of the world’s democracies. Hmm. But they’re more than ready to elect a man who is a convicted felon? WTF is wrong with us?
@ToolPackinMama It is an issue. The debate was to be between the candidates for president. That doesn’t matter anymore because one of the candidates has changed? Why not? To use your logic, the debate should still be between Trump and Biden because that was the original deal.
