Megan Rapinoe says ‘not many, if any’ US women's soccer players would attend White House

Master Debator said:
Last I checked California was still part of America. Only weak, insecure conservatives have to subtract an entire state in order to feel confident about the size of their influence. But deep down all you conservatives know I'm right. Your electoral wins are mere vestiges of a by gone era that is looking increasingly more ignorant and backwards as time goes on. Just think about the policies liberals like Bill Clinton had. Supported the war on drugs, did not support gay marriage, would of found Medicare for all a joke. No way he'd get the nomination today. Even Obama. He made the Bush tax cuts permanent, bailed out Wall St., deported more illegals than Bush, kept some in cages, and increased drone strikes in the middle east. Doubt he'd get the Democratic nomination today either. There was more and has been more partisanship since Obama but Clinton held standard liberal views in 1999 that would be considered far right today. We've pushed the entire social consciousness left(with entertainment, news, social media and education) even as fox has pushed conservatives further to the right. But we've already won the next generation. It's why Nike and the rest of the corporations are falling in line. They know who the future belongs to. They know their future profits rely on the 20 and 30 year olds of today and not with the 60 and 70 year old of yester year. But hey, good luck with your party of old white men for however long that lasts. :lamo

Who is debating that, please explain to me why the richest state in the nation leads the country in poverty, homelessness, has the worst quality of life, largest wage gap and is a fiscal disaster? Our Founders got it right, large urban states shouldn't be the ones electing the President as they do have influence by electing their Representatives. You believe you are right but history tells a different story but history is being re-written by the left but it cannot be changed.

Why wouldn't this oath apply to participants, as for posting pictures that has been done and I see no reason to repeat it. If you don't believe Rapinoe disrespected this country then there is no hope for you

Holy ****. You posted a link to the Florida Soccer Referees as a "code of conduct" for the USSF National Team?

Do you not have the slightest clue what you're talking about? These are players - they are not referees. The referee code of conduct also does not require them to put their hands over their hearts while the Pledge is happening, or drape themselves in a flag while the anthem is playing.

How much more do you plan to embarrass yourself?

I remember when the people here who think that Rapinoe is a hero -- for holding the view of 90% of the media establishment (So brave!) -- were in favor of harassing people for their political ideology if they were Trump supporters. Now suggesting that a national team playing for the whole country should avoid partisan politics is an outrage. :roll:

Anyone who criticizes Rapinoe is a Nazi Hate Criminal.

They need de-platformed.

Pretty easy to look up, not your secretary, do you understand tax deductions? Do you understand the military code of conduct which you operated under wearing the uniform of the U.S.? What is different about representing your country on foreign soil and disrespecting the flag, the anthem simply because you hate the occupant in the WH?

He posted the referee code of conduct. From Florida. He doesn't even know what his own thread is about.

'Murica!

Did you know that all donations to non-profits mean the non-profits get taxpayer money!

Yes I did, why is that different than the athletes responsibilities? Why do you condone total disrespect for this country by someone wearing the uniform of the USA? See any other athletes doing what Rapinoe did? Living in this country comes with responsibilities something you don't understand

I'm talking about the people right now who paint a woman who gets to play the sport she loves for a living as "oppressed" for not being able to speak her mind when clearly she can speak her mind since she is a media darling for it. Many of those people calling her brave for speaking out will be the ones wanting to silence women who have a different view than Megan Rapinoe.

If a team member or members choose to attend the White House event they won't be treated the same.

No doubt having a foul mouth and being ill mannered will make Rapinoe a hero on the left.

You do know what the acronym USCMJ stands for, right? Concentrate on the “M”!

Concentrate on the reality that you are wearing the uniform of the country. Did you see any other players from around the world react as Rapinoe did? Why such disregard for the country and are you ever going to answer a direct question, how did you respond to the Military code of conduct? If you have no problem with what Rapinoe did that is your choice, I have a problem with it as do most of the country. Wearing the uniform comes with responsibilities except in the liberal world where responsibility is a four letter word and if it feels good, just do it. The American Flag and Anthem aren't Donald Trump and using him as an excuse cheapens people like you

Rapinoe knows she'll be rewarded for her embarrassing displays of anti-Americanism. AOC invited the team to the House and they'll get a standing ovation for behaving like ignorant fools.

I understand what a deduction is. You, on the other hand, don't understand what "getting taxpayer money" means. Which is why you lied, and you are desperately trying to save face.

Yea those aren't real facts. The states with the highest levels of poverty are in the south. Probably because your social services and public schools are ****.

Fortunately did notice quite a few wrapping themselves in the American Flag indicating better upbringing than Rapinoe and also so an American pick up the flag after it was dropped on the ground near our Primadonna. Love the patriotism of most of the American team and it will be interesting to see how many won't go to the WH if invited.

HAHHA. First you thought they were referees. Now you think they're military personnel. Oh this gets better and better.

I cannot help your lack of experience. One of my suitemates in college was under 5-8 and 150 and he could lift more than I could and I was 6-1 180 that year. And that wasn't the point anyway. The point was, someone made the silly comment that voting should be limited in a most idiotic way and I was countering that. That you want to quibble about something you cannot possibly factually argue about is really silly

Yes they are and democrats live in those states so still no answer to my question and what does this have to do with the thread topic. Arbitrary numbers don't tell the whole story as you ignore the numbers that do matter and are on full display in the bluest state of them all that has the largest wage gap, most in poverty and homeless and is ranked at the bottom in quality of life.

From what I can see from the left here not sure I would talk about the quality of the schools as I wish they would post their school so we can send them copies of their quotes in this forum and let others decide whether or not that school makes any sense for their kids

Trump himself is AMERICA and that is the issue here, you respect the office even if not the holder. Here is a great article about your party, read it if you have the guts. Megan Rapinoe is benefiting from living in this country and wore the uniform with USA on it. Showing class doesn't seem to resonate with her and most of you

Don't be an ass. Trump is not America. He's a lying, cheating buffoon who's besmirching the reputation of the USA all over the world.
And my party is the Liberal Party of Canada but I won't be voting for anyone until they get rid of both Trudeau and Morneau.

The college I resided in at Yale, had all single rooms. So suite mate was the proper term. You missed the entire point of my posts for what reason?

Yes, we can see that in the results being generated and the outrage by radicals like you in those results. Doubt you ever are going to find someone who meets your criteria and from what I can see I am happy that isn't going to happen. For some reason having likability is what you want whereas the American people want results, results that they are getting. Isn't it possible that foreign governments don't like Trump because he is making them pay for their own defense which really advertises to the people in those countries the true cost of socialism and all those social programs people thought were free.
