Summary seems to say shouldn’t be a big deal, but because everything is now a big deal, it has to be too. This is a lot of why we can’t have nice things.

and he called Moses Mike. Apparently the Speaker couldn’t move enough people out (there’s already a waiting list) so they will “appear”.

BTW - they are going to be hammered. I guarantee it.

But, it was their choice, so fuck 'em. They're saying it's going to be a 2-hour speech, too.

But, that doesn't mean most of them are not going to be fucking miserable at some point. Wait until they find out that they can't sit there and scroll through their TikToks and Instagrams to distract themselves...

TY for the Gift Link, too...

It's the case for all of The Athletic's articles.

the 1980 U.S. olympic hockey team was primarily composed of amateur, college-aged players. I'll readily admit I'm not a fan of professional hockey. I never followed it and don't enjoy watching the sport. I find it far too violent. Still, I'm happy the U.S. team won gold.

Pro hockey is the only team sport I can think of where it’s acceptable for players to get into bare knuckle boxing matches in the middle of a game. Hockey appears to be an attractive sport for certain types of guys who have pent up frustration to vent, and are looking for an acceptable outlet to let out all their aggressions. I suspect there are more Trump fans in the NHL than in other professional sports.

I absolutely loved our women's team games, to me it was a much better demonstration of speed and skill.

In my most humble opinion the Tkachuks are goons. They're game is based on intimidation, I'm just not a fan of that style of play.

their goals in the streets or alleyways, and play away. That's the hockey I enjoyed. Down home hockey. No politics.

Good. Fuck the lot of them who are attending. I hope it's the most miserable experience of their lives.

once trump starts talking, he can't stop. He finds so many "exits" to take on his way to gripes. And these guys will probably end up either being ushered out after a brief acknowledgement that with trump's help they won the game. They sure as hell won't have the composure to stand there for 2 hours listening to trump bitch and gripe how everybody is against him. I just hope he doesn't publicly demean the Women's hockey win at the front of Congress for his and his "boys" sakes. I can't hate this man enough.

knew nor cared. And the misogynist bs at least some of the team exhibited is but one reason.

Their names:

Kyle Connor / Winnipeg Jets

Jake Oettinger / Dallas Stars

Jake Guentzel / Tampa Bay Lightning

Jackson LaCombe / Anaheim Ducks

Brock Nelson** / Colorado Avalanche

**Brock Nelson, btw, is from the Christian family tree of Warroad, MN
Nephew of Dave Christian, a forward who won the gold medal with the U.S. at the Olympic Winter Games Lake Placid 1980
His grandfather, Billy Christian, and great uncle, Roger Christian, helped the U.S. win gold at the Olympic Winter Games Squaw Valley 1960
His great uncle, Gordon Christian, earned a silver medal at the Olympic Winter Games Cortina d'Ampezzo 1956

Compared to 1980 team, they're a bunch of drunk punks. Naive? Perhaps. Stupid? Certainly. And they can take their medals and shove them straight up their asses.

Not the greatest intellectual thinkers of their generation. Loving the idea that the Director of the FBI is acting like an idiot and joining in with their celebration. Then the President phones in and says, "sorry, I have to invite the women's hockey team, too." Patel orchestrated the reaction. These dudes just followed along. Happy to win and oblivious to the political stage that they were on.
