A video on social media shows the dancing robot knocking over tableware, smashing plates, and sending chopsticks flying. An orange apron the robot is wearing reads "I'm good" in big letters across the front, perfectly adding to the chaotic scene. Staffers at the restaurant were forced to intervene. One employee can be seen holding the robot by the scruff of its neck while navigating her phone, presumably searching the bot's app for controls. In the end, it took three workers to restrain the robot, who were all forced to duck periodically to avoid being smacked by its waving and sauce-covered hands. read more

The trip he took to visit heads of state for three nations on the continent? Visiting with heads of state is considered the equivalent as going golfing, now?
Obama took 52 international trips in 8 years.en.wikipedia.org
Trump took 8 trips just last year alone. en.wikipedia.org So those numbers are pretty close. But in your mind every trip Obama took was for personal purposes, while Trump is all-business while golfing at his own resorts and charging the American taxpayer top-dollar for Secret Service space there.
#IYou mean the official announcement by the IOC? Maybe you're unfamiliar with the facts the IOC excluded from their press release.
This has nothing to do with the GOP. Maybe you didn't read the attachment.

Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with US President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Trump's executive order
In the US, President Donald Trump signed the executive order "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" in February last year, and pledged to deny visas to some athletes attempting to compete at the LA Olympics. The order also threatened to "rescind all funds" from organizations that allowed transgender athletes to take part in women's sports.
Within months the US Olympic body updated its guidance to national sports bodies citing an obligation to comply with the White House.

Horror? Seemed like it raised many important questions.
- Self-determination
- Paternalism by the government/religious institutions/her actual father
- Treatment and rights of the mentally ill (OCD and borderline personality disorder)
- Euthanasia and the processes required (she was permitted to off herself under the law including reasons such as her pain, but her pain was at least partially from previously trying to off herself)
- Right to medical care
- Protection of victims (she reported being raped on three different occasions)
- Crime (a 22 year old raped on multiple occasions by different perpetrators suggests some underlying problems)
- Vilification of immigrants (Righties claimed, without basis, that one of those gang-rapes was perpetrated by immigrant child migrants (en.wikipedia.org)
Does that make you a Republican?

No.
But that also doesn't make the GOP less ecstatic at the policy change, claiming it's to protect women. Or change the fact that they make that claim at the same time they "ban women from medical intervention after rape and elect an adjudicated rapist who Epsteined kids, intruded into teen girl's dressing rooms while they were in various stages of dress/unress, and bragged on video about sexually assaulting women."
