Trump now backs down from his invite. What a weasel this guy is. It is amazing how many of his supporters are afraid of strong independent women just like him.

I agree! Just like Trump is a strong independent woman, his supporters should be open to other women just like him!

In all seriousness, with the players already stating clearly that they'd (figuratively) spit in his face should he invite them, why would anyone in their right mind invite them?

Also, found this article interesting:

I would not invite them either but I wouldn't shoot my mouth off then back down. At least here no one will be hurt unlike Iran.

No, USWNT should be paid more than the men's NT. Do you disagree?

Yes.

Same should be said about the American teams. How much money do they bring in compared to the men?

Are you saying Iran shouldn't be hurt?

I am saying his flip flop will be seen as a sign of weakness which could escalate into trouble where many will get hurt to put it lightly.

I must have missed that since so many were draped in the flag. I guess you would rather have a scumbag like Trump represent the US instead of the greatest sports team the US has ever seen?

You mean not responding to Iran shooting down a US drone? Yes, I agree with you 100% on that one. I thought you were referring to pulling out of the Iran Nuclear (-enabling) deal.

I think pulling out was a mistake but was talking about the drone.

Really? It would have been awesome if he didn't then go and meet the murderer in NK and repeat the same mistake Obama made.

You have Iran on a path to get nukes quicker. Is that a good thing?

There is no five second rule

I didn't forget anything. She was wrong, PERIOD!!! I happened to miss it as it was only a half a second. Good thing you didn't blink or you would have missed it. Like you actually watched the game let alone the celebration.

I guarantee you she will not do that again unlike Trump who doubles down on his screw ups.

Yup he keeps screwing up. Get ready for 5 more years of screwups. At the rate we are going i dont see us ever having a Democrat as President again.

I dont bet anymore but are you taking bets on the likelihood of a civil war breaking out next November?

You really think a civil war is a possibility? What will be the catalyst?

Imo the only possible catalyst would be a forced gun confiscation, and probably not even that.
People are too comfortable in their lives for there to be a civil war.
