(1,067 posts)However the bright side of this story is that not a single Trump Administration official was shown during the game or during the victory and subsequent gold medal award ceremony. I was worried that Trump would somehow work his way down to the ice so he could steal a gold medal. Mike Terrico kept his comments to strictly sports and how they can bring us together.

(34,811 posts)He was joined at the hip with Trumpster Wayne Gretzky during Ovechkin's goal record chase. He's a hanger-on, and it would surprise me if most of those guys even know who he is.

(12,852 posts)Mens Hockey is the only event I could imagine trumpets being in. No women allowed , they have to be Poser women. ALL the other events are way too gay for them.
They have a version of Biathlon up here is WNC. WHEN we get snow they tie bread bags over their
Red bedroom slippers, then slid down their driveway and shoot Dem targets with their ARs, targetsthey have Duck Dynasty taped to trees. In whitie tighties and white wife beaters. Blaring Kid Rock from their black smoke spewing diesel pick em up trucks and drinking MurKKKan beers.brewed from urinal runoff at NASCAR events. Recycling and dont realize it.
USA USA USA.
ICE skating pair played YMCA yesterday during free style. Taking the ICE thing too far. Should have been DQued For that.
