Can't say I have any reason to root for Lindsay Vonn, particularly after she dated Tiger Woods, which I totally did not understand or approve of. (That guy totally plummeted in my respect rankings.)

However, I really like what she wrote there, and so saved the image.



She also dated NFL coach Kenan Smith and was engaged to NHL defenseman P.K. Subban.
Are you a racist like Trump?



Dude, Tiger Woods had a major scandalous affair and is also a furdie. Why are you jumping to racism?


Because her last 3 boyfriends including a fiance are BLACK.
Apparently you are unaware.
Shocker.









Looks like she likes short guys, too
Maybe she's a Dominatrix!


She's 5-10 but probably wearing heels in some of those pics.

Tiger is 6-00
Kenan Smith is 5-11
PK Subban is 6-00

Is he the one with the beard on that picture?

Jack Palance and Sigourney Weaver also get a pass.

Quote:

Born Volodymir Ivanovic Palahniuk into a coal miner's family in Pennsylvania, Palance attended the University of North Carolina on a football scholarship but dropped out to pursue a career as a professional boxer. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, he won 15 fightsexperience that helped prepare him for an Emmy-winning performance years later in Rod Serling's "Requiem for a Heavyweight."

He served as a bomber pilot in World War II, and was awarded a Purple Heart for head injuries and burns he sustained in a 1943 crash.

After the war, Palance enrolled at Stanford to study journalism, but switched to drama. "He knew he had gifts, although I'm sure he would have made a superb journalist," says his former Encina Hall roommate Charles E. Miller, '47. "I have a strong image in my mind of Jack pacing back and forth past the fourth-floor windows, as he rehearsed his lines for a play."

Palance left Stanford one credit short of graduating and went to work on Broadway, where he succeeded Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. His film debut came in 1950 with Panic in the Streets. Two years later he earned an Academy Award nomination for the thriller Sudden Fear, with Joan Crawford, in which he played a husband intent on murdering his wife. His swaggering, malevolent gunslinger Jack Wilson in the 1953 classic Western Shane cemented his reputation as a movie villain, and brought another Oscar nomination.

I was a huge Tiger fan - until it was revealed that he cheated on his wife a thousand different ways and took drugs to mask his true character and probably even performance enhancing ones.

I have no respect for either type of cheater.

Why Vonn would not see that same as me is her choice, but I never would date Tiger after his life. He's dirty.


But Tom, there are a handful of people here that are HUGE TRUMP FANS.

These are people that have high morals, standards, and integrity.

Trump had sex with a Porn Star while his wife was pregnant with their son.

What's the problem?



Yeah, that's a good point.
Cause as I'm often reminded, "that's what a majority of America voted for".

So, I confess, I'm an old fuddie duddie stick in the mud.

Let's get on with Biffs!

Frenzied Trump, 79, Launches Bizarre 2AM Posting Binge



There is a whole lot that lives rent free in your head. Wrongly accusing someone of being racist, getting called out for it, and then attacking someone for occasionally defending against bad criticisms of Trump or his policies is ridiculous. Hang in there buddy. Btw, I wouldn't want my sisters or daughters to date Trump. He is disgusting.

I edited my post to reflect that his post, which was a poor and crazy attempt to justify his unfounded accusation of racism, was mental. I do not know whether or not he is actually mental.

Don't they usually throw away the top and bottom score for each contestant in order to weed out the outliers?

In any case, the score she gave to the French couple is similar to that of the Spanish and Canadian judges, and if you did take out the top and bottom scores from each scoreline, it looks like the French couple comes out ahead as well.




Personally I thought the American couple's act was kind of weirdly dark, they had an Addams family vibe that certainly was original but could rub some people the wrong way:



I thought the Canadian couple was the best, with the starry night Van Gogh-themed costume and their contagious very bright disposition.

"Despite Cizeron committing a visible stumble during the synchronized twizzlesa technical error that typically results in a significant deductionthe French judge awarded his compatriots a free dance score nearly eight points higher than he gave to Chock and Bates. This massive discrepancy was the deciding factor in the final standings, especially considering that five of the nine judges on the panel actually favored the Americans for the gold."

This is a good read on the history of judging scandals in the Olympics buy Jake Mozarsky.

It also describes the Technical Element Score (TES) as well as the Program Component Score (PCS) which is also known as the "artistry" score.

We all remember the Nancy Kerrigan / Tonya Harding scandal in 1994.

Eight years later in Salt Lake City, a French judge admitted to being pressured to favor a Russian pair over a flawless Canadian duo as part of a vote-swapping deal. This scandal was so significant that it led to the awarding of a second set of gold medals and forced the sport to scrap the old "6.0" system entirely in favor of the current point-based system.

Just sayin' ...

If Trump was really an American President who supported Team USA at the Olympics, he'd be advocating for an inquiry into the highly questionable figure skating judging last night, instead of ****ting all over American athletes like Hunter Hess.

This clown has an OPINION ON EVERYTHING but can't do anything but **** all over American athletes who have worked their ass off and make use of the First Amendment.

I cant wait for he and all of his pedophile friends to come down with cancer and die a long, drawn out, painful death with zero dignity and numerous tubes stuck into there shriveling corpse. Same for the lying POS like Patel, Noem. Gabbard, Lutnick, Bovino, Vance, Leavitt, and Miller.

They've all lied and will continue to gaslight the American public for the next 3 years.

So tired of his big mouth.
He's got zero class.
Zero empathy.

Has no clue how to UNITE the UNITED STATES.

He couldn't bring together two Pop Warner teams with pizza and soda.
He just yaps about Superbowl half-time shows trying to stay relevant.

He's a pathetic individual.
Doesn't care about anyone but himself.
If you cant see that you're in a cult.

Now back to the Olympics on NBC.

If Eileen Gu is a US citizen, it means she is violating Chinese law if she has been issued a Chinese passport since dual citizenship is illegal in China.

And if she doesn't have a Chinese passport, then she's violating Olympic rules and should be stripped of all her medals.

This is what TDS does to people.

You don't need to like your own country to root for athletes. Athletes are not politicians. Root for them to succeed. And if you decide you don't like the athlete representing our country for whatever reason (I'm not a particularly big Brady Thachuk fan for example), you can root for someone from a different country.

Stop conflating politics and the Olympics. All it's ever done is ruin the Olympics when the two get mixed.
