Trump's Policies XI


"We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal-winning U.S. Women's Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement," the U.S. women's team said in a statement released Monday. "Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate. They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment."

Declining to appear at the SOTU appears to be for practical reasons, not political ones. Half these kids are college students who have missed weeks of this semester, so it totally tracks that they don't really have time for this.
 
Here in the farm belt(Iowa), the glycophosphate debate has gotten so big that we are getting pro-glycophospate ads on the local radio stations. Farmers have a lot of pull.
Farmers have a lot of pull in practically every country. In terms of Round Up it goes all the way back to Monsanto -Bayer AG production of GMO (Round Up ready) seeds that they sell literally by the seed. American farmers including small ones are wrapped around this industry involving high capital, high input cost, falling prices due to increasing global production of practically every grain crop and cotton.

There is a lot to unwrap but it is difficult for me to see a way out of of this for American farmers. Even for beef farmers who are locked into a high cost process where the processors and distributors take all the profit.

It’s not official, but Yahoo Sports says: Looks like Flavor Flav's invite was accepted by the U.S. women’s hockey team.

Sounds like fun. I'm proud of the team for saying no and refusing to be a political pawn in this deranged speech the Epstein Administration is about to give.

Had to be an easy decision to make after the misogynistic phone call made by the Pedophile in Chief to the Men’s Hockey team who also appear to be a special type of piece of crap Boys Club.

While the comments by Trump and the resulting laughter by the team smacked of misogyny, Jack Hughes (for one) seems to be an upstanding and respectful guy. He’s an excellent example of an American Olympic champion.

Oh - I think it's political all the way.

Not every player on the women's team has conflicts with upcoming games.

Patriotism is on display here!

And BTW.........

These remarks have often been delivered in a humorous or hyperbolic manner, frequently as part of his commentary on political, social, or personal events.
  • March 2025 Context: The comment was made in response to a question from a reporter about defining a woman, prompting laughter in the room.
  • "Unfairly Treated": During the same, he added that women are "smarter than men" and have been "treated very badly" in many cases.
  • Previous Similar Remarks: In September 2024, after a witness helped identify a suspect in an assassination attempt at his Florida golf course, Trump described her actions as "amazing" and stated, "Women are smarter than men".

I’m not going to single him out one way or another and certainly do not give him a pass.

The way they yuk’ed it up was disrespectful to their contemporaries.

Easy for them to feign support for the Women in public but then in the locker they devolved into knuckle dragging Neanderthals and then double down on it.

The whole thing is disappointing but simultaneously not surprising.

He made a joke.

It’s really sad that these women can’t put aside their pettiness and TDS long enough to be honored at the state of the Union address. When they finally grow up and learn a little about the world and country they live in, they will regret this decision. We all cheered you on and celebrated your win. Now it’s too bad you’re now losing.

Knuckle dragging misogynistic men have cowardly hid behind a ‘just joking’ shield for ages.

It’s never been funny to treat women as less than or imply or infer their accomplishments are less than.

The US Women’s Hockey team is not displaying pettiness or TDS.

They are displaying that they have a Spine and Self Respect to not accept an invitation from a Buffoon who just disrespected them.
