Jealous.   Name any other rich guy that has done what Trump has done on the national stage in politic s that was not in politics his whole life.   It aint just luck that gets you there.

Not just luck. It was extortion.

The GOP weren't going to select him as their candidate in 2016 because he wasn't really a serious primary contender. But, thanks to the trailer parks, KKK parades across the country and the like, he became a surprise primary winner.

When he found out he wasn't going to be chosen as the GOP's Presidential Candidate, he threatened to run as an independent. Likely stealing many of the conservative votes from the Republicans and extremely likely to result in a win by the Democrats.

The GOP caved in to a guy they didn't like or want, but was their best chance to win.

...and that, boys and girls, is how we got an extortionist, 34 time felon and convicted sexual abuser in the White House.

Fin.

This has been said 1090 times.  But for your mental health jeez man you can only hate someone so much before it truly impacts your life.  Your sanity.  Probably your family.  The relationships in your life.  Please seek professional health.  It’s only 4 years boss.  It will end one day.

I just posted along those lines...

Biden is no longer the president, and will never run for president again. He's not a Trump foe in any way at all.

People like you (and Trump) really need to stop misdirecting Trump discussion to a past president or foe.

Don't bring up Hilary, don't bring up Bush, don't bring up Obama, focus on what is in front of us and forward.

Living in the past doesn't help anyone.

You can only hate Biden so much before it turns you into a nut job and it impacts your life.

Seriously, when you think it's a good idea to turn to more hate toward Biden or Hillary... be smarter. Their days are over.

Be strong, chin up, and always forward.

If you can't put the past behind you, seek professional help.

Why would having a banner for the president at a tourney be inappropriate?

It’s a campaign flag.  You wouldn’t have any issue with a teacher displaying a “Biden/Harris 2020” sign from 2021-2024?

So I take it you don’t think this is inappropriate (I do)?  Otherwise you’re proving your hypocrisy.

So to confirm, you don’t have an issue with pride flags in schools? 

I wouldn’t have said anything about it if you didn’t post it here, I really only started posting on this part of the forum recently because I was bored

That wasn't high school level. That looks to me like middle/elementary level championship, which isnt sanctioned by the state.  High-school championships are at Kohl Center and that looks like Alliant Energy Center to me. 

No way a political banner would be allowed on the floor of state championships for high school, and never should. 

A rainbow flag represents accepting diversity. It isn't political. The wingers interpret it that way.

Agree on a rainbow flag.  The one with the triangles and whatnot is probably debatable

What about a MAGA hat?  Wouldn't the high school state championship have more difficulty regulating messages on banners/clothing/etc?  Being run by the government it would be subject to the protections of the 1st amendment.  That said one year at districts I wore a t-shirt from my offseason club under my warm-ups.  An official saw me with my warm up jacket off and the t-shirt exposed.  He told me that wasn't allowed and shirts either had to be blank or school issue.  Said it was a rule and threated to take a team point.  I don't know if that was true, but he did not take a team point and I did not change the shirt.

IANAL, but I would say an individual choosing to wear a MAGA hat is different than seemingly an entire team parading with a flag

An entire team wearing MAGA hats?  One reason I ask is that at least one athlete wore a MAGA hat on the floor at NCAAs.  It didn't seem that controversial.
