White House screws Team USA Men's Hockey Team

I absolutely love this story and truly wish the worse for him

Brady Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators captain and a Team USA gold medalist, said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.
The video, published Sunday by the White House's official TikTok account, featured doctored footage from a Tkachuk brothers' news conference at the 4 Nations Face-Off last February. While "Free Bird," the goal song for Team USA, played in the background of the video, Brady Tkachuk was made to say, "They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---s a lesson."


I think it's important to restate here that this guy is American but is the team captain for a Canadian hockey team. Not just any Canadian hockey team but the team that plays in the nation's capital.

He is not happy about what they did. At all.
"Well, it's clearly fake, because it's not my voice, not my lips moving," Tkachuk said Thursday in his first media availability in Ottawa since the U.S. defeated Canada


So to summarize:
Insulted the team USA's gold medal winning women's hockey team

Had to sit for two hours+ listening to that moron drone on endlessly

Then got cold McDonald's hamburgers

Then the WH pushed out a fake AI doctored video of you insulting the country you play hockey in

I've got one question, was it worth it?

"On her way to work one morning
Down the path ‘longside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by thе fireside with some honеy and some milk
She hurried home from work that night, and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

“I saved you,” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
“Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
“Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

*****

Donald Trump has repeatedly read this poem in his political rallies
– Trump always fails to credit Oscar Brown Jr as the song’s author, consistently naming Al Wilson instead;
– Oscar Brown was a civil rights activist
– Oscar Brown’s daughters have sent Trump cease-and-desist letters"

“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

Sounds like the story of the current Republican Party - at least those who are FINALLY waking up about who they embraced.

Men's Gold Medal Hockey Team didn't realize how True it is that Everything the PEDO Traitor touches gets fucked or dies.

And what that fucking Damaged WH did to Brady Tkachuk.. just shows what the heartless, soulless Thing thinks of them...

Oh and the cold junk food was an extra insulting bonus. Wonder if there were an Eye Rollings at the table?

Think about it, hockey fans almost universally hate this guy. Hockey fans universally celebrate this fuck getting punched in the face, repeatedly.

White House, Kennedy Center, Super Bowl, even the Boy Scouts.

He has to get his tiny tRump covered hands all over everything.

He thinks the world is as disgusting, demented, and corrupt as him, and thinks he's just the best at being horrible in a horrible world. And he'll reach out and stink up everything in the country, twist and remake it into his horrible image. Stick his shit name on everything and get his shit image attached to everything.

Everything he touches turns to tRump.

and hopes everyone won't get "political". The word clueless was invented for guys like this. And one thing about maga males is they love to be insulted and lied to by their leader.

I hope a Wild fan throws a red swastika arm band at him during a home game. It slays me that no reporter has called him out.
