Thought For The Day

 
The Soundness of Silence

June 28, 2019
If you are not a fan of women’s soccer, you might want to reconsider.  Megan Rapinoe co-captains the U.S. Women’s soccer team.  Rapinoe – a long-time outspoken advocate for equal pay, LGBTQ rights and social justice in general – has been standing in silence during the playing of the National Anthem before this year’s World Cup games.  She had been kneeling in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and others since 2016 when she became the first white athlete to take a knee.  Now, U.S. Soccer now requires players to stand.  
The man pretending (very badly) to be president naturally had to weigh in from his toilet.  At this point, the question on most Americans’ minds is, “Does he wipe himself after he finishes tweeting, or does he have someone do it for him?  Is is always Ivanka, or does every acting cabinet member have to take turns?” 
Despite Der Furor’s faux outrage, Rapinoe refused to back down when asked if she would go to the White House if the team won the Cup and was invited…
Well played as usual Ms. Rapinoe
Sorry Megan, I guess you are not Chrump’s type.  No rape for you!
