*cuts to shot of Trump eating 100 cold Big Macs alone*

lulz at the state university of Northam and Fairfax standing up to mean ol' Donald Trump.

How could any reasonable person/team/institution of higher learning not want to be associated with a bigot who has no regard for arcane concepts like the truth, facts, science, or the law, lies with every breath, and disrespects Gold Star Families and veterans?

They didn't decline for political reasons. Pretty much entire team is prepping for draft.

Is that the reason they gave?

Cuz while I can only imagine prepping for the draft is intensive, I can also only imagine that a team could still accommodate an opportunity as distinctive as being invited to the White House to meet the potus.


Unless they just didn’t want to.

heard they got a lot of pressure on campus to decline the invite

i’m guessing it was diet-related, actually

I mean, that's what Bennett said: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket ... use-invite

"Bennett said logistics, not politics, would preclude Virginia from accepting an invitation."

Could just be him trying to be PC tho... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah.

They figured why deal with Washington traffic when you can get all the racism and rape you want by going to Richmond.

Trump holds rally in Wisconsin instead of attending stuffy old correspondents dinner.
“I called the king of Saudi Arabia, I like the king, I said king, we’re losing our ass subsidizing your country and you have a lot of money.” The crowd loved it.

That really hurts coming from a person who spends hours every day attempting to normalize Donald Trump's behavior. Because
















"conservative" republican.

The truth takes more hits.

A surprising novel is selling out at some retailers, Money reported on Wednesday: Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here. The reason for the rush is that some critics of President-elect Donald Trump say that the circumstances of the real-estate mogul’s election are eerily similar to those portrayed in the 1935 novel by Lewis—who, at the time, was the only U.S. writer to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Written as two very different populists rose to power — Louisiana Senator Huey Long in the U.S. and Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany — the semi-satirical novel imagines a Democratic U.S. Senator, Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, appealing to nativists in order to successfully secure the party nomination over Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Windrip then wins the 1936 presidential election by railing against immigrants, the poor and the liberal media. A theatrical adaptation came out in 1936.

“Readers of It Can’t Happen Here who feel that almost anything can happen in the U.S. are likely to be convinced that it cannot happen in quite the way Author Lewis describes,” declared TIME’s 1935 review of the book, which went on to summarize the plot:

Skinny, smiling, bearded Doremus Jessup was editor of the Fort Beulah (Vt.) Daily Informer, an old-fashioned liberal whose paper expressed his independent views. He lived contentedly with his motherly wife, his belligerently outspoken daughter, enjoyed a quiet love affair with the Fort Beulah feminine rebel despite his 60 years. As an alert editor, Doremus was interested in the rise of a Western Senator, Berzelius Windrip, commonly called “Buzz,” a bubbling and buoyant individual whose personality and career closely resembled those of the late Huey Long. Windrip ruled unchallenged in his own State, built roads, enlarged the militia until it became his private army. When he got the support of Bishop Prang of Indiana, whose radio addresses reached millions. Windrip won the Democratic nomination for President in 1936. Thereupon Editor Doremus Jessup knew that history of an obnoxious sort was soon to be made.

Franklin Roosevelt countered by organizing the Jeffersonian Party. Republicans nominated Honest Walt Trowbridge who spoke well but promised little. But “Buzz” Windrip raved like a madman, assisted in his ravings by his creepy publicity agent and fixer, Lee Sarason. His followers got publicity by making speeches in strange places, such as copper mines, fishing fleets, sporting houses. His supporters were organized as the Forgotten Men, sang a goofy campaign song (“Buzz and buzz”), beat up Reds, Jeffersonians, innocent bystanders, lumping them together as the Antibuzz. His program, based on sharing the wealth, was as emphatic as it was meaningless. He claimed to be just a plain, simple, common man. He told bad jokes. He was elected.

At a certain point, you'll probably need to be hospitalized again.

Normally I would do this privately. That comment is uncalled for, beneath the person I know, and misrepresents through an incomplete innuendo a person’s dangerous physical ailment that required acute care for which thousands lack legitimate access because of the heartless, unCatholic policies (and a President) you support.

And he received that, in part, because he fought for his country unlike the fabricating, flaccid, fraidycat fatass currently residing in the White House.

Keep defending Small Hands Bone Spurs.
