For two weeks in Pyeongchang, the Winter Olympics have mostly served as a respite from the daily grind of politics back in the United States. For at least one Team USA athlete, that changed leading up to and during the closing ceremony.

Gus Kenworthy, a freestyle skier from Colorado who finished 12th in the ski slopestyle event, fired off two pointed tweets Sunday night in South Korea.

After the Olympic Athletes from Russia beat Germany in the men's hockey gold medal game, Kenworthy retweeted a Los Angeles Times story with the comment, "Russia's biggest win since the 2016 US Presidential election!"

Liberalism comes from a mental deficiency. Liberalism is from the LEFT side of the Bell Curve. They have just enough brains to be dangerous.

He is hoping Tossing the Salad will be certified as an Olympic Event. He’ll get the Gold for sure.

he’s a gay drama queen wanting attention.

The only attention he deserves is from the cops, asking him if he's a child-molester.

“YOU sure about that? I thought I SAW him in that gala...”

Well then he whined and got in. It was all over the news that he wasn’t invited.

I hope NBC is losing billions.

Drudge had a headline up saying $12 billion dollar mistake.

I imagine viewership is WAY down.

There were maybe half a dozen new episodes of regular shows during the whole period. I record all new network shows with my Tivo and precious few were recorded. I have been rewatching some series that I don't recall watching. 😀 You get old enough and there are no reruns.

I wish USA athletes would concentrate on winning medals. Judging from the results this time, they probably should have focused on that instead of their BS politics.

Ivanka is there to help spread peace and cooperation with our neighbors.

‘Watching those guys last night made me feel fat and lazy.’

the only thing I’ve watched more grueling than the cross country skiing is a mountain stage in the Tour de France...I feel like a total dweeb watching stuff like that...
