OT National Champs Skipping White House

I’d prefer eliminating these invitations altogether. The Administrations have been using these champions as a political prop, and now these champions are making political statements of their own when they choose to accept or decline.
 
No fan of Joe Biden (and that is an understatement) but as Major Winters says in Band of Brothers "you don't salute the man you salute the rank." I did not like it when Trump was declined and feel the same way here. We are all Americans.
 

Well, the Bayou Barbie (via Maryland) and her supporting LSU cast will be visiting the WH. I'm sure Reese would have no problem bringing her crown and letting the President crown her. 😁

Well guess what? This is not feudal europe where we bow down to the nobles. Bowing down to someone that just managed to fool people enough to vote for them (and that goes for both sides) stinks to me.

And its not like they are in the military so your analogy is flawed anyway.
 
The two Party’s are captive of the extremes in each because they are the folks most active in The primaries. Yet, the vast majority of Americans want a return to civility and common sense solutions Through give and take negotiations. Our electoral system makes it extremely difficult for a third Party to be anything other than a spoiler, but attitudes towards both Party’s are increasingly negative, and declared Independents are increasingly a power unto themselves begging for a standard bearer. The idea that the best we have to offer is a choice between Biden and Trump is disgraceful. Perhaps this is the election that finally gives rise to a viable third alternative.

Bring back Ross Perot and the Drunk Admiral running mate he had!

Incredible intel there.

Thank You.

Extremely thought provoking.

Im not sure anymore. I wonder if you put on a ballot for America to split into two nations what the winning side would be. They just booted homeless Vets out of a NYC hotel to house illegal aliens. These guys are former USA vets and just got the heave ho. I think the country is severely divided with no turning back.
