    Keep in mind, the women themselves probably felt they had no choice. Refusing would probably get thier scholarships revoked and such.

    Though still I don’t care either. We already know trump only cares about himself.

      At some point you gotta take a stand. People from the US always ready to make excuses why they can’t do something. It’s gotten so bad there, and here in Canada, too, honestly, and it’s like, what the fuck will get people to get off their asses at this point?

        I am fine with taking a stand, but point your hate at the guy front and center, not the women behind him you know nothing about. It’s just a distraction technique.

          No. I mean, yes also, but holy fuck what will it take for you losers to finally start holding each other accountable? All they had to do was not go somewhere, it would have been incredibly easy, and the only reward they got from it is a terrible photo with a terrible person which only serves to further validate him and everything he does.

          For fuck’s sake, I’m not asking them to shoot him in the back.

            You don’t know it would be incredibly easy. You think it would be… but you don’t know. I can give you any number of possible reasons it might not be easy, and in fact might be incredibly hard. I don’t know any single one is true, but there are so many, and all you need is one to be true.

              Bro, the entire country is falling apart at the seams. Is there that little solidarity in the US that “go to the Whitehouse to be disrespected by the president” is seen as a life-or-death command?

              Weak.

                Um, you know how die hard maga folks are. What if these women’s parents are maga. No telling what they would do to their kid who refused to meet the president. This team was from Georgia after all. And maga followers have sent death threats for far less. The women don’t have any security, getting death threats can be very traumatizing. That alone is probably enough of a reason to go if one didn’t really want to.
