Co-captain of the US women's national soccer team: “I’m not going to the f*cking White House.”

Not only that, but the immediacy of the reply when the question was asked too. Bonus points for “I doubt we’ll be invited”, which is extra proof that she knows how to read the room.

Exactly, textbook scoff.

Good point. She expertly swats down the goalpost moving question she knows people will ask.

I mean, she was responding to a direct question. She didn’t volunteer the information.

ETA: Just realized @hecep already made that point earlier.

I assume you mean that in the terms used by Trump himself when denying the latest rape allegation by E. Jean Carroll. He said, “Number one: She’s not my type…”

I was 180 degrees AWAY from that!

You know, everyone’s acting like the US is going to win, but they may not.

She should be using the platform the media is giving her to just burn Trump left and right:

  • “Of course I’m going, I wouldn’t turn down the offer of free Burger King and KFC for all the rubles in Russia.”

  • “Are you sure Donald wants us there? I thought he didn’t like strong, intelligent women.”

  • “Can I bring Bob Mueller as my date?”

I think she is using the platform. Along with her quotes, she’s been one-kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance for awhile now.

I bet she’s strong enought that she could get him to fall over when he does the jerk handshake.

That’d be spectacular, getting trump to fall on his bigmac ass in front of everyone.

So… like… what if all of us… don’t go to the fucking white house?
Like, y’know, ALL of us?

I realize we’d need really solid participation in this boycott, but maybe there’s something to all this “not going” business…

I feel rather uncomfortable that you’re making me grin at the idea of a senior citizen rolling on the floor, unable to get up.

But not too uncomfortable. Carry on.

Don’t think of him as a senior citizen. He certainly would never admit he’s older than the hills and a decrepit pile of shit.

Being the masochist that I am sometimes, I read the comments on that Twitter post - apparently, a lot of Americans (Trump supporters) accuse her of not being American enough or a patriot while at the same time hoping that France wins against us. France?! The same country these people hated in 2001 and onward and who cheered when freedom fries were established as a phrase?!
At this point I am simply hopeless that anyone sane could get through to them - ever.

Might be the basis of a good Cormac McCarthy novelette.

I am pretty frikin sad if she is the only member of the team that feels this way? How can that be? I recall (its a curse) 2017 and plenty of celebs and performers and artists, and I think a few sports people said “No thank you” to any WH invite. Whats changed?

Well, the interviewer literally asked, “Are you excited about going to the White House?”

Maybe watch the clip before you comment?

I hope he breaks a hip and has to wear an embarrassing pelvic diaper cast during the whole 2020 election run. He deserves any humiliation that could possibly befall.

Then imagine him rolling on the floor, unable to get up because my 93-year-old mother punched him in the face. (She has a short list of two politicians that she’d like to punch in the face: Trump and Doug Ford.)

Exactly, which highlights the fact that my post pointing up your meaning was flagged as "inappropriate, I guess. Trump can’t be described as the r***st that he is, here on this site.
