Didn't Barry typically start his White House days around noon with an official lunch?

I like how Obama both constantly manipulates and controls Biden and Harris and also only put in a few lazy hours a day as President.
And was an unqualified community organizer who wasn't ready to be President.

But none of that is the case. And you and Miles are small minded limp dick jackasses.

I am aware that she doesn't have male chromosomes and take medication to lower her testosterone to get below the limit. Your name calling is out of control. Check yourself, please.

Like most right wing agitators, once Cheong thinks he's found a wedge, he uses it EVERYWHERE without regard as to whether or not it makes any sense.

Back to the Olympics...

Simone Biles and Katy Ledecky: Great athletes, great Olympians, great stories. And probably great people! Bravo! Now, that's enough. Maybe even too much. I really don't care how many medals they have. Can we please move on to other athletes and other sports?

Agreed, he's a demagogue.

What is the average red state male who tests for low testerone?

Did you mean to say, "The average red state male, who tests for low testosterone? If so, I would argue they'd likely punch you in the face before shooting you. Of course, folks are all different, so you will get different reactions from "average red state males."

Ummm... there are over 50 Gold Medals being won this weekend in a 48-hour period.
Biles and Ledecky aren't involved in over 90% of those events.

There are PLENTY of other athletes and other sports.
Maybe you just haven't been paying attention.













PS. Cal's Ryan Murphy lead off with the backstroke leg of this team.

US rider Kristen Faulkner from Alaska is going to win gold in cycling, following a great tactical move 3km from the finish.

You are absolutely correct. Thing is, I'm lazy and old school and I like to flop in front of the TV in the evening and watch the prime time two hours. Yes, I could be more proactive and "get into the peacock" and see other sports and other athletes, so it's sort of my fault. Way too much gymnastics and swimming (and especially, Biles and Ledecky) in the prime time. Also, too much about the American athletes: I get it, this is America, but a little too slanted. (Of course, it's always like that in the Olympics telecasts.)

How am I talking out of both sides of my ass? My position here is clear. Thanks.

Exciting finish in the 4x100 M medley relay, with tight 3-way finish.





US women crushing it in the same race, setting a new WR and settling the gold medal race with the Aussies

Missing in that photo is TORRI HUSKE.

She anchored again.
No one can catch her.

Yes, and other countries do the same with their best events. At least now you have the option to watch the other stuff too, on other cable channels or streaming. NBC has certainly improved in this regard, though the prime time block remains as it ever was (hyper-focus on a few popular events and a lot of soft-focus personal interest stories).

You must not have watched the Tokyo Olympics. It's anybodys race.

Just ask Marcel Jacobs of Italy.

Looking forward to it, apparently there was some trash talk between Lyles and Seville...

In other Olympics news, the women's boxing controversy isn't going away, with both boxers suspended by the IBA for failing the chromozone test ending up in the final, with a visual protest from the Bulgarian semifinalist who got beaten by Yu Ting Lin, the IBA-disqualified Korean boxer - XX marks the spot :

Here is what 5/1000th's of a second looks like.

For non-track and field afficionados . . . it's not the foot or head that needs to cross first.
It's the chest.

Sure, "right wingers" don't think about male genitalia ALL DAY. Do you have any other questions about this group you appear to know nothing about?
