Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

I had looked past that entirely and read it as it was likely intended: the Danish military helped us out with an ill soldier, Trump responded by trashing Denmark’s commitment to the health of Greenland residents and lying about sending a floating hospital to take care of them. I think the tweet was just poorly worded because I never even noticed the issue when sharing it, and reading the entire tweet with the context of the article embedded in it filled in the gaps enough.

Articles and twitter users like this do not post this unintentionally. It was worded as such to get engagement and fuel fake outrage. You are proof they succeeded.

Eh, your point is well taken but I disagree. At no point did I read or share the tweet with the understanding that Denmark rescued an entire submarine, my frustration was with our President outright lying about actions he was taking to solve a non-existent crisis being ignored by the people who helped us.

I’d argue the President being an outrage merchant is also a more pressing issue to begin with.

To watch the USA Hockey team beat Canada for the gold and decide it’s time to remind the world that you don’t like Somalians is some real snowflake shit.
 
Meb and his 10 siblings came here as refugees. Their father had a 7th grade education but prioritized his children's education. They all went to college, several earning advanced degrees in medicine, law, engineering and business. A great American success story.

The coolest thing about sports is its the closest thing we have left to a meritocracy in the country.

Team USA could have prioritized diversity, or winning the gold.

They prioritized being the best possible version of themselves

Hockey is a rich person sport in America. But I notice you aren't talking about first Generation gold medalist Alyssa Liu, or silver medalist Chloe Kim?

I think it's so sad that you feel the desire to inject politics into everything.

Will you be a sad depressing cunt during the world cup and not celebrate if the USMNT wins or performs great because they have dual nats like Sergino Dest, Antonee Robinson, Malik Tillman, Diego Luna, Folarin Balogun, Johnny Cardosa, etc.

Or will you celebrate their victories like a good american?

Lol im thrilled for them.

You and the other leftists missed the point per usual. Low iq.

Sports are the last area in America based on meritocracy.

Im glad the hockey prioritized winning. Im glad our figure skating team did too

Wish the rest of our country behaved the samd
 
In light of their distance running tradition it is not too surprising to see that several Somali American distance runners have represented the United States in recent Olympics. We are lucky to have them.
