Trump has policies?

Is loot and plunder a policy?

Honestly? Might as well!

I'd be proud to go out that way.

Defending all that is right and good defending others and defending the US Constitution and being a hero to real Americans and being an example of how to stand against tyranny.

No. I will not comply.

You surely can love your country - and want to win gold for it - but also not be happy with certain things.

I laugh at people who say just shut up and play your sport. These people have a platform and when done the right way (which this peson did), it can be effective.

Otherwise, just shutting up and hoping really hard things change is not going to cut it.

The flip side is Trump who represents the USA when he goes overseas and embarrasses himself and the country with his cacophony.

FTA- "Some things are bigger than politics. You just don't get it."

Like what for example?

Turns out nearly every aspect of human life is, directly or indirectly, impacted by political decisions, power structures, and policy.

Aristotle famously asserted that "man is by nature a political animal" (politikon zoon), meaning that human beings are fundamentally social creatures designed to live within a polis (city-state). For Aristotle, all human association, from families to villages, exists to achieve the "good life," which requires participation in communal, political life.

The question I think is what are they representing?

The fact that they are unsure about representing certain aspects of what's happening in America right now is whose fault again?

Republicans believe Olympic Athletes lose their First Amendment rights.

That's how much Republicans love America.

Do MAGA Republicans think Free Speech only applies to speech that they agree with?

Are MAGA Republicans really attacking Free Speech?

Say it isn't so!
