The Olympics are not what they were decades ago. Half the competitions are not even competitions. They bit the hand that feeds them just like Bud Lite.
Words don’t do it justice.
How are they gonna’ solve the Seine swim sequence of the triathlon? ...maybe delay a week or so and hope it clears.
I have been watching the Olympics as my daughter loves to watch them. I am ok with it but wonder about a lot of things.
Mountain biking...what do they carve a path out of a mountain, complete with trees and leaves and rocks? And male and female exercise of high bars, turning around....
anyway...Paris has failed to impress me pretty much but American athletes doing very well.
The polluted river isn’t the only issue. They’ve tried to go green and athletes aren’t having it.
No air conditioning, cardboard beds, bad plant-based food short on protein, 10 girls sharing 2 bathrooms.
Many are moving out to private accommodations.
Is anyone watching any of the shows so far?
RodGuy911 is out fishing... Hope he gets a mermaid!
I;m watching “Face the Nation”...got Chuck Schumer and my former guy from Merryland.
As far as ethics, pointing a finger toward the USSC, has 3 pointing back at. Clean up your house!
that’s a masterpiece !
most are identifiable, except for a few in the back rows
Swimmers may need to wear oxygen tanks and take a super shower after soaking up that Seine goo.
Or do we just need to look at how we vote in the Primaries
Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Joe Biden deserved better treatment than public calls for him to leave the presidential race.
Guest host Martha Raddatz said, “You had been a very strong supporter of Joe Biden staying in the race just a few days after that disastrous debate saying, he is not going to take himself out of the race nor should he. Did your concerns grow as the weeks went on?”
Moore said, “I had private conversations with the president. And I’m a big believer that when you care about somebody, you tell them the truth. And I had private conversations where I was telling the president the truth.”
He continued, “I also know that the president deserved better than people who were running around him and going into public and demanding that the President of the United States step down, particularly when you look at the track record of the Biden-Harris administration. I’ve had a phenomenal partner in the Biden-Harris administration to be able to deliver the kind of results that we needed in Maryland. And so I knew that if he said that he was going to continue pushing forward, that I was going to stand with him.”
Raddatz said, “But you said you told him the truth. What was the truth?”
Moore said, “Well, I think the truth was that there were real concerns. There were real concerns that I know that people had felt, but also that people were telling me that they had felt. I also know that, you know, I’m a loyalty person, and I believe that you can have private conversations and tell people the truth. You know be able to tell them what you’re hearing without turning around and trying to publicly embarrass them.”
So he told Biden to step down, just like all the others he now criticizes!
AbbieNormal?
Lobster season.
That’s where the executioner’s ax slipped when he sneezed. ☺
VP auditions ongoing. Wes Moore on ABC....Pete on FOX.
RodGuy911 would be apoplectic watching Mayor Pete smooth talk Shannon on FOX.
She’s allowing lots of distortions slip by...he can be smooth which is how he was in the mix in ‘20, but just as slimy as Newsome.
Mayor Pete:
crime is down, immigration numbers are down...worse under Trump.
sheesh, this guy is something
