Can an "UNFAIR!" Trump tweet be far behind?

This will be followed by a threat to build a wall around Alaska to keep those "cheating Russians" out of the country.

watched the Movie ICARUS a while back , might be on Netflix, It is a terribly good movie or documentary ,an expose on a Russian doping master , via a amateur cyclist who wanted to dope it up for a year.

Very good documentary. Not sure why, outside the fact that Russia is now a partisan issue, anyone would think this was anything controversial.

Clean Russian athletes (i.e. those not previously implicated in doping) will compete under the Olympic flag. The sanctions for what was a state sponsored doping program would be something everyone here would have cheered a few years ago.

Now it’s slugline includes a sad face.

That should be the decision of the team, not some Swamp fox.
