When President Trump credited God for saving him from being assassinated by the far-left, the “media” just mocked and ridiculed him and God. The leftwingnuts think we’re weird. This is even weirder.

Like every pro-abort Catholic, she’s full of crap.

Who cares about her religion? She does amazing things in gymnastics. My goodness, people just look for things to drive division in this country.

She’s a tool. And her Gold was for being a loyal minion with the bad attitude. She is in a sport with no objective measure beyond the opinion of judges. They love her for her quitter routine.

Why would anyone expect otherwise?

The only nexus most Catholics have with the Church is the Mass, where it appears to be forbidden to mention Christ’s effect on the individual’s values and person behavior.

The judges felt that they had no choice but to give her a gold. Imagine if they gave her a bronze.

Judging in gymnastics is very subjective and skewed by biases and politics - especially at the Olympics.

I’d say yes, she is. I heard she took a swipe at Donald Trump for the black jobs remark.

“She is in a sport with no objective measure beyond the opinion of judges.”

Actually, the judging is very subjective. Her score starts with a summation of the max difficulty values of each item in the routine. Points are then deducted for errors.

Can you imagine anyone on the Dream Team in 1992 saying that?

Or announcing their endorsement for their presidential candidate?

We've gone backwards since 1992. I blame a lot of that on Obama. He had an opportunity to be an unifying figure. Instead he was divisive.

Women’s gymnastics as it is today didn’t exist until 1952.
