Schumer, and Nancy &#8220;Facelift&#8221; Pelosi, even with Algernon Octagon Comanchero.\u00a0 So, her politics are now quite clear.\u00a0 How thoughtful of her to cloak her sport both in her homosexuality <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">and<\/span> <\/em>leftist ideology.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The news cycle is ever churning.\u00a0 Within days, LA Dodgers coach Dave Roberts echoes Rapinoe saying he&#8217;d turn down an invitation to the White House if the Dodgers win the World Series.\u00a0 Mind you that he said this the week BEFORE the All-Star Game, the halfway point in the season.\u00a0 Newsflash, Dickhead.\u00a0 A lot can happen in the next 81 games.\u00a0 Your victory is far from certain.\u00a0 But we need to be told NOW that you&#8217;d be an ungracious champion?\u00a0 Classic leftist dick move.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I wonder just when it became an automatic that major sport champions were invited to the White House.\u00a0 Used to be they&#8217;d sometimes get a call in the locker room.\u00a0 Now they&#8217;re all expecting some state dinner treatment.\u00a0 That they then decline to attend so as to show up the President they don&#8217;t like.\u00a0 Also, why are stories like this even news?\u00a0 In both of these cases, the &#8220;star&#8221;

(read: preach) about in Congress.\u00a0 Another newsflash.\u00a0 Just because you played a part in a movie about and environmental disaster or terrorist event doesn&#8217;t make you an expert on said topic.\u00a0 It all points to the fact that at a deep personal level, these cretins cannot separate their radical politics from their profession.\u00a0 That makes your politics sound more like a religion.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It also shows that the media will do anything to show Trump in a bad light.\u00a0 If people are invited but refuse to go, it makes national news showing how principled they are.\u00a0 If they aren&#8217;t invited, it makes national news showing how trite Trump is.\u00a0 If they are invited and do go, they get bashed in the news (Tiger Woods).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">What all the political ideologues miss is this once-in-a-lifetime chance that 99.9% of us will never get, is some quality one-on-one time with the most powerful man walking upright on the planet.\u00a0 It may only be for 3 or 4 minutes.\u00a0 But I can think of a lot of ways to pare down my message and bend his ear if I had that much time.\u00a0 The live press may be there, they may not, but all events are at least photographed.\u00a0 Someone with a camera will be there.\u00a0 POTUS is going to be at least polite.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But rather than develop your argument to present it in hopes of making change, go ahead and boycott the meeting.\u00a0 Make sure you blame Trump for your foolishness.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Women&#8217;s soccer star Megan Rapinoe recently stated (even before the women&#8217;s team dominated the tournament and won) that she would decline an invitation to the White House.\u00a0 Because, well, Trump.\u00a0 My first reaction was, &#8220;Bitch, you haven&#8217;t been invited yet.&#8221;
