    Trump is building his own private army. This sounds like he is spreading them across the globe now.

      They’re only good for spreading terror to civilians in a country where they have legal immunity. They have no such protections anywhere else they go.

    Let me guess—they’re going to prevent the US athletes from returning home unless they’re white and/or win medals.

    Step 1: Designate ICE a terrorist organization. Step 2: Arrest them upon entry. Step 3: I’m sure Europe has a black site the arrested could spend time at during the duration of the Olympics.

    When I first saw this headline I thought it meant he was going to make them compete in the Olympics.

      Only if they change the triathlon to:

      1. Dodging accountability
      2. Sitting in a rental truck and eating 4 Taco Bell chalupas
      3. Pistols at 6 inches while their friends hold the target

    I feel like the AI over at The Daily Beast somehow added this sentence randomly into that articles

    The two 2028 rivals will represent the U.S. at the games’ opening ceremony on Feb. 6 at Milan’s San Siro stadium.

      It’s referring to Vance and Rubio, the natural heirs to the throne, who are considered to be rivals in that role. They will apparently be attending, with a squadron of ICE, the games in Italy.

        Wow!

        That is highly speculative and not supported by any official announcements. Referring to them as rivals without any reference is pretty unfortunate, especially for a media trying to convey news

          It’s a tabloid, so expectations should probably be starting at unfounded hyperbole.

    I hope everyone boycotts Los Angeles in two years. No one competing except the Bored Of Piece fascists. Anyway, here in San Diego, we weren’t looking forward to the traffic.

      I’d rather see a Jessie Owens repeat.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
