    I guess I have to admit that I have a little bit of a changed perspective on all of this after learning that she was a victim of Larry Nasser. I’m sure that she’s dealt with anxiety and depression around her sport for a long time. I guess I don’t really understand why she chose now as the time to quit/withdraw but that’s her decision, and her life. Does it let down her teammates? Yeah, but whatever…

    End result for me is that she isnt a traitor to her country and I’d also stop well short of calling her a hero…

    And again, it’s only girls gymnastics.

    Dig a little deeper. You know Exactly why she chose This moment in time to launch her new NIL campaign. So do All of her handlers. It’s why the Hillary/ Michelle. Love fest was launched.

    Henry Ford was a Nazi, Neil Armsweak never landed on the Moon, Buzz Light Year Aldridge said the moon landings were fake, Seal Team Six was a pysop, OBL was an actor and didn't die in Pakistan.

    Meriwether Lewis was a spy and was assassinated. A bloody Masonic Apron was found on his person.

    Ronald Reagan was a regular at Bohemian Grove, where Satanists conduct human sacrifice rituals.



    Reagan and Gorbachev were freemasons, and played for the same 'team.'



    The man was an actor after all, just playing his part.

    The yips in her sport could be pretty scary. Too much stress I guess.

    It’s just what I heard. They are officially call the “twisties” in gymnastics. Just what I heard, don’t twist, dont be a twistie.

    Quitting is brave now, guys.

    We should teach our children that quitting is not only ok, but it’s admirable!

    But really…who really cares about this shit

    It’s OK not to be OK.

    Can’t wait for Kay to tell us restaurants are closed and hospitals can’t perform electives because of “an abundance of caution”….

    Hell yeah. Best Olympics ever. Marathon was won by guy who stopped in an orchard to have an apple and a nap. And no joke they took the rando Africans and Filipinos contracted for the world fair “human zoo” and assigned them to countries. Many of the Italians came from here in town.

    Was in conjunction with 1904 worlds fair. Iced tea, hot dogs, cotton candy, ice cream cones and peanut butter were first introduced during the fair.

    Sadly that was the high point of Saint Louis. All downhill from there. Now it’s either swamp ass or frozen balls and it vaguely smells of garlic baloney most days.

    You lost your thrill on Blueberry Hill?
