Atleast they will have some company at the camps with all the bronze and silver medalists who are labeled national discraces by the government and made to apologize on tv for their failure.
The IOC really doesn’t care. They got a ton of bribes and lot of free hookers. All that matters to them. Russia was in dead last place up until a week before the selection announcement. God only knows what Putin sent their way and promised down the road, but it obviously worked.

No, that was Bush. He also said that the Chinese were making great strides in human rights.

What rubbish!

Clearly, the focus is on the Chinese-made products and parts. The question remains.

I agree with the focus on Chinese made products. I disagree with calling out Walmart as the only culprit. I do miss Sam Walton and his buy American first attitude that made Wal-mart.

They would love to send us all to the “camps” to get us to “think right”.

But that pesky 2nd amendment...

Perhaps they should try to get rid of it first... oh yeah, they’ve been trying.
