I just checked into facebook and saw a video from one of the "ladies" from the US Soccer Team. She's on the parade float showing her "true" colors. This comes after one of them tossed the American Flag on the ground to join in on a goofball dance (another of better upbringing swept it up right away) to celebrate on the field post match, This is a new level of classlessness.

Here's her classless ramble....

"Hide your kids, hide your wives, and lock your F'n doors 'cause we got the keys to the MF'n city and I'm coming for all ya'll bitches".

Hide your children is right. What is our society becoming?

If a member of the Men's team had said to hide your women, he's coming for them, he'd be in big trouble, but.....

In one thought my heart pumps pride and honor from my fellow Americans and a short video later.... Gone.

You got it backwards. Hide your wives and hide your kids - Those are lyrics from a song called "Bed Intruder" about going after rapists - the "I'm comin for y'all bitches" is not directed at wives and kids, it is a challenge to the sexist power structure.

Alright, Thanx for clarifying, not exactly classy or lady-like, but I love all my fellow Americans again.

Definitely not classy or ladylike, but coming from a really good and empowered place. Women are pissed now. Your video clip scared me. It is frightening and disturbing to see the grim face of real revolution. Men are going to get their asses kicked hard as women take over society. We men have thousands of years of really rotten behavior to pay for, and it is going to hurt, unless we roll with the change and catch up before the axe falls.

It's happening for real, women are taking power - quick look at college statistics shows women outnumber men approaching double and climbing.

The complaints here about perversion incest and animae (wtf is that?) coming from LGBTQ was exactly wrong, that is male stuff - as society becomes run by females it will become unrecognizable, there will be less and less tolerance of male aggression and things like incest and exploitation. Unfortunately I bet a lot of positive aspects of liberty are going to vanish as well. They are going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. That's what guys get for being dicks.

I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect. Your Daughter is a hero and she deserves the utmost respect and that should start the government. I pray the Veterans Administration has been getting cleaned up and their priorities realigned to accommodate the truly deserving heroes in our society. They've prepaid for that care. The stories of what our family, friends, and neighbors had/have to endure to receive basic care and Prompt appointments were disheartening and never should have been allowed to occur and then be covered up.

The Military Code is based on Honor, Loyalty, and Service and they were getting the exact opposite from our National complacency machine on their return. Too many auto pilot programs that worsened the suffering and prolonged the agonies.

It's often pointed out by everyday Americans on who we should be focusing on and in what order, but it's a forgotten pledge by most politicians. They blurt out how their constituents put them there for this agenda or that agenda, but it's really not? I hope the Pride Of The Family gets the respect and care she deserves. Much Love, Prayers and Respect for your Family.

We are lucky, the Syracuse VA is one of the best in the country.

No long waits for appointments, no red tape about what care can be given, they get sh!t done.

One of Amy's biggest problems was that system-wide her various doctors didn't interact.

One would prescribe a medication not bothering to see what other meds she was taking.

Her worst suicide episode occurred when some "friends" stole her meds.

When she was taken into the VA by LE, the doctors couldn't believe the combination of meds she was withdrawing from, said it would have killed most people.

That's all in the past now, thankfully.

It is maddening though that the VA is forbidden to even mention cannabis as an alternative to the pharma garbage they approve.

Her therapist said from day one that when it was possible, she'd be the first one to be recommended for medical cannabis.

Doesn't matter, we know what works best even when the government doesn't endorse it.

I didn't take it as disrespect, I just wanted to point out you assumed my veteran child was male.

She's not and I'm damn proud of what she's accomplished.

The Army was the best, then worse thing that ever happened to her.

Her mother wasn't loving or even caring for her.

I was the one who lost sleep not knowing what country she was in for months when she went down field.

Like one of her brothers, she doesn't speak to her mother.

I can fully sympathize, I've said here before I had an abusive wife and the sad thing is all the kids have suffered for it.

In one thought my heart pumps pride and honor from my fellow Americans and a short video later.... Gone.

If you are a trump supporter, are we really supposed to think you are offended by low class behavior? sorry bro but you just blew your cover. just say you don’t like gays. have courage of your convictions. own it.

I can accept a QB on my team that has a tendency to be a pompous ass, one who is brash, loud, and clownish at times if he IS the QB of my team. This QB is the temporary leader of my team. There's the draft and free agency coming. If there's a better QB available, I'll have a new QB within 2-6 years. That's guaranteed. The Defense is just as brash, loud, and clownish. They're on the same team but does nothing to help the team. They are inept, angry, and old, but the media loves them and praises them? My team is competing with the other teams in the division and whole league. This hasn't happened for a while. While not basement dwellers in the standings we were a losing team. The team is winning against all odds, even though some deranged fans and the press bash him and his linemen. I'm just a spectator shaking my head from the top row of the bleachers. I root for my team, we're winning now, I doubt my next QB is going to lead us to as many wins, but I'll support them too. Even if they are brash, cocky, and asinine at times. Are they effective and competent? What does the scoreboard say, Go Team!

That video was sad. Does that represent the USA? When I think of the US Women's Soccer Team I proudly grin reflecting on Mia Hamm. That team honored our nation with class and dignity. Her/their sexual preference was/is irrelevant. It was a moment in time where you'd gather the kids around the TV and watch a special National sports moment in time. There was no kneeling or vulgar profanity laced tirades. A word seldom used of late is "Couth" some folks live it and some have no idea what it means. Perhaps someone should put it on a meme with a cuddling cat?

Charles Barkley once said "Some athletes aren't meant to be role models", He of course was referring to himself, but when you are wearing the National jersey and representing the United States of America you damn sure should.

When the classless stool sample occupying the oval office is an admitted sexual assaulter, and does not respect woman, he deserves what he gets. Rapinoe, and the girls are the best!, and great role models for young girls in this great country, and the world.

Ever notice how Trump doesn't stand up for the victims but consistently says that those he surrounds himself with & supports are treated unfairly. There is a pattern here.

There's a blatant pattern in play here, and in some of the cases it's either regarding child predators or wife / girlfriend beaters. On his list we see the following:

Roy Moore (senate candidate) - likes little girls. Once banned from shopping malls in Alabama to stay away from underage girls.

Rob Porter (a top aide to Trump) - likes to beat up women

Alex Acosta - (an attorney and head of Dept Of Labor) who gave a sweetheart deal to a child predator, Epstein

Paul Manafort

Michael Flynn

etc

And of course Trump who bragged about grabbing women by the pu$$y, bragged about walking in on naked beauty pageant contestants, groped women, etc. No wonder the evangelicals support an individual of high character and good morals & ethics.

The willingness to place the President in a place where he is not to be criticized, is above reproach and should be worshipped as if he was a king is truly terrifying.

Thought it was bad when W was in office, but this is truly next level.

Let's not forget Epstein himself, a friend of Trump's in both NY and FL, who was charged last week w/sex trafficking of at least 40 underage girls.

This is a great sports story (for me a Mets fan especially), that should be praised. While the NFL, NBA & USWS have gone political, Baseball with all it's ethnic diversity remains the shining light in sports.

Peter Alonso a league minimum earning rookie won the All Star Weekend Home Run Derby which comes with a $1,000,000 monetary prize has pledged to donate it to the Wounded Warriors Fund for disabled veterans and their families. He stated how much of his family have served our country.

Like Apple Pie and Chevrolet. An All "American" gesture. I love the Jim Abbott and Pat Tillman types of American Sports Stars. I hope this kid has a long and storied career.

It's damn sad we even have a "Wounded Warriors" foundation.

If our government can send these people off to war they should sure as sh!t be the ones to take care of the veterans when they return.

No private funding should be needed to cover the failings of the government.

FYI, I'm the father of a disabled veteran of Iraq & Afghanistan.

…….

May God bless you and your family Sir. I pray your son's wounds are on a full recovery path. Scars run deep, I have a line of Military in my family also. I Thank Him for his service and sacrifice.

Those are 2 great causes that need as much attention as they can get.

Wounded Warriors Project
https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

Tunnels To Towers Foundation (They give Congrats to Pete)
https://tunnel2towers.org/

My DAUGHTER and I thank you for your kind words.

Amy did seven years in the Army, had a roadside bomb go off next to her Humvee in Bagdhad.

At some point the VA will replace both her knees and fix a shoulder.

She already had a shredded patella tendon repaired while serving, that delayed a deployment for a year.

I wish it had been career ending but at least she'll now get lifetime care due to time served.

The mental scars are the more serious ones but she's 100 times better now than when she first returned.

I haven't had a 1 a.m. suicide call in several years so things are getting better for us.

I still think the folks who sent her there should bear the cost of the wounds and not depend on outside charities.

To let you know what's getting ready to be posted, I'm the child of a WWII 100% disabled Vet, the brother of
an Air Force Vet wounded in the Tan Son Nhut rocket attacks, went to college under a contract to the Army (Ranger School, Airborne, Recondo, pre-flight, and Artillary) got RIFed after the Armistice and therefore not considered a Veteran.

Your daughter signed a contract to "take the bullet" for civilians who didn't want to protect their liberties.
She fulfilled her part, now it's time for the US to fulfill their part. If she has left the military, the VA should take and pay for all expenses and support she needs, including the 2am suicide calls. Don't be ashamed of those, I have Vietnam vet buddies who still make those calls.
She did her part. Now it's time for the government that put her in harm's way to HEAL AND SUPPORT her in any way needed without her or her family having to worry about expenses and suffering.
If you ever see any politician claim that we need to cut funding for the support our wounded vets need, vote their asses out of office and put someone in that remembers why there are wounded vets in the first place.

PS: I was hoping for Acuna to win, but I love the results. Way to go Alonso.

Who has disrespected the Office of the Presidency more... a soccer player with opinions or Trump and his enablers and supporters?

For me the answer is easy. To relist all of the shameful and disrespectful actions and words from Trump would be redundant at this point. Even if his supporters like his policies, there has to be an admission that they could be pursued through a more civilized manner. To imply that crap shouldn't be slung at someone who never stops slinging crap because his office should not be treated like that is a little out of whack. If the office deserves human respect, the occupant should be able to practice human respect.

Rapinoe can speak for herself, that is her right. She should remember that she more than likely doesn't speak for the entire team.
If someone on the team wants to go there, she shouldn't stand in their way, or decry them for their decision.

So you show support for a fat, slimy, draft dodging, shit bag in the White House? An admitted sexual abuser of woman?, doesn't pay his debts, lies every other word?. He deserves Zero respect. Those fools who praise this Jack ass and defend him, should be ashamed of themselves.

Show ONE post where I have expressed support for the President. One.

Not sure how long you have been hanging around WP, but for quite a while now it has been a gentleman's club compared to what it was. I haven't been called the Whipping Posts Leading Racist, Unamerican, Genocidal, Bloodthirsty Anarchist Nihilist Commie Gaping Rectal Crevasse in a long time, so for me it has all felt pretty cush. I will never forget being called a Gaping Rectal Crevasse. Ever. I tend to think visually, so that one left a scar.

Actually there is no right or wrong here. So you can disagree with Bro Rabbit, but what it amounts to is perspective.

He is giving an open interpretation, and you are offering up a much darker & angry interpretation.

I would disagree with your point on blaming posts on this site for your personal feelings. There are way too many more important sources in life to impact feelings than by posts from people you don't really know.

For sure man, if the WP starts to get to your personal feelings, don't stick around, that's just bad medicine. I had to bail out when I would slip up and actually take posters seriously, like Mulemind. Now I kinda miss the guy, at least he could dish it out and take it.

I'm still waiting for his yes or no answer on whether the Holocaust was fake news or not. It was true sport to watch him dodge that question. Morbid yes, but I really enjoy seeing Nazis squirm. Postwar generation, got a lot of WW2 influence from my military parents and grandparents.
