+100 - I don't really follow sports and stumbled upon this story today: https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/1104402/usa-hockey-gold-medal-celebration-kash-patel-donald-trump#comments |
Dude (or dudette), when one (namely the Trump Administration) is using their platform to denigrate half the population in service of actively trying to restrict my civil rights, IT'S POLITICAL. Trump is not required to be a jackass and make everything political, but he has chosen to do so, so here we are. |
YOU are the one making it political. He invited the team to come and they accepted. Good grief. There are lots of presidents you can disagree with, but it is not hypocritical to accept an invitation and be recognized by the people in your country. |
Do you not have access to the internet? Are you unable to watch the actual video? He denigrated the women’s team. He did this. we don’t take the blame for his behavior. |
I mean, when you bring half a knife to a fight you can't really expect to be taken seriously. So now address the rest of the story, as they say. |
Why are you dismissing the misogynistic “joke” Trump made and the way the team laughed with him? Disgusting behavior by the USA men’s hockey team. On the audio, there are a couple of guys who supported the women’s team. The rest of the team is pure trash, and so is Trump. |
Are you talking about that fake video that someone claimed Trump posted? |
That’s sad you’ve lost your patriotism. I feel sorry for you. |
The actual story here seems to have whooshed over your head. |
DP, no not that video, but rather the one where he is on Kash Patels phone on speaker denigrating the women's team. |
Lmao, don’t you love it when they try to gaslight you into thinking their cult leader’s behavior is anything approaching normal or decent? |
He was clearly making a joke. If you think that is denigrating women--it is not. Good grief. |
I don't get the joke. Can you explain what's funny? |
Did you actually watch the video? He invited the team to come and mocked the women’s team. The same team these men just made such a big (apparently fake) show of supporting. That's why people are grossed out. |
Can you explain the joke? |
