He’s an illegitimate president, a thief, and a cheap hood.

He was democratically elected President by the American people under the same system as Obama was.

Trump cheated.  Jack Kennedy didnt

US women's soccer team wants equal pay?
Sure, when they generate the same amount of revenue as their male counterparts do...it will happen.

Women's soccer...is it popular on American TV?
Is the public clamouring to watch it, attend matches.
Are sponsors willing to spend big money?

Nike’s biggest selling soccer jersey. Best Global TV ratings.

Plus, the women are the best in the world and the men did not qualify for their tournament,

Pay them for their accomplishments or shut up about this being a meritocracy.

They each just made 250K.  All expenses also paid.

And of course were given endorsement opportunities off the exposure (Rapinoe, Erst, Pugh, Morgan, Lloyd, Heath, Horan all seen in recent ads)

Soccer is a sport I can only find interesting if it's played by firm-bodied young women. 

Here is a joke I made up this morning, reading the Epstein news:

Epstein, Prince Andrew, and Trump walk into a bar.

Bartender sets a bottle of expensive Scotch on the bar.  "I know you guys like a good 12 year old."

I dont think it works.

So what? What’s that got to with equal PAY for their efforts on behalf of the USA?

Double entendre.  Maybe you need to be a whiskey aficionado to get it.

You can get whiskey with a twist of lime, now, at this bar.

Meanwhile, checking the Annals of the Non-Shocking:

Well, no

Distinction made between 15-16 year old girl and a twelve year old

Happy to clear this up.

No distinction is made in the law. A rape is a rape is a rape.

Are you his apologist because he doesn’t take out his tic-tacs for you or are you hoping he’ll get around to you eventually?

Republican psychology with its layered pathologies is so hard to figure out.

The aliens truly love soccer, many stadii have moats to protect the players. Riots and violence often follow an errant pass or missed penalty shot.

Swalwell announced his long shot presidential bid in April, pledging to mount a campaign that focused on the need for generational change in the Democratic Party and his commitment to confronting gun violence in the United States.

Right idea - wrong guy
