    I didn't play the video but my first thought is when you're a guest in someone's house you don't bad mouth it. That's not much more than just common courtesy. At least that is for most of us!!

    People aren't watching the Olympics to hear political statements.

    Righties were saying the same thing about BLM and kneeling.

    And did that stop them from kneeling? Nope. And we were called racists, nazis, and nine kind of other things for telling them to just stick to the game...

    talking about China is talking about the government. Supporting suppression should never be something any US official does.

    Well in all reality BLM is a scam and anybody publicly supporting it should be implicated.

    If you think BLM is a scam what do you think sending money to trump is?

    Dunno, what do you think of the Chinese government giving American athletes free tours of the Uygur death camps? It really is great opportunity for our athletes to see the last living members of a human subspecies. How many people will have that kind of experience in their lifetime?

    I am so happy our athletes can compete with a clear conscious in the midst of a historic genocide. That will be a proud first in American history. Isn't it great to see America giving its seal of approval on human genocide? Hopefully some of the athletes take a knee for BLM, it will remind the world who the real victims are.

    I wonder what the world will be like 50 years from now when China is the world's greatest super power. I am sure things will be just peachy keen. Too bad I will be dead by then and will miss out on all the fun.

    Not sure. Can you show me where Trump since becomes president bought several mansions and has 60 million dollars that just disappeared? Absentee leaders?

    Maybe it is a scam show me that it is. I welcome it.

    Pelosi tells the truth.

    I mean conditions there aren't as bad as they are in North Korea.

    But we're still dealing with a China level of problems there in China.

    After listening to what she said, it sounded more like a plea.

    I think it would have been better if she stated something to the effect when you go to other countries you are still a citizen of the US but you are a guest in their country.

    And the adage applies when in Rome...

    But the last thing we as a nation should be worried about is their wrath if they bring their ass to our athletes we will bring our wrath to their capital and if you took that approach to it they wouldn't dare touch our athletes. And we make the same claim about all of our allies too.

    It's only a matter of time before it comes to that anyway. If China doesn't collapse from within.

    Well he was asking a question based on an accusation I'm not sure is accurate. Trump can absolutely be scamming people I doubt it's to the degree that BLM was but if that's the case I welcome any evidence that shows that he is.

    Presidential candidates both passed and present can certainly scam people look at the Clinton foundation.

    It's not going to lead to war. The biggest consequence would be if China was rejected to be selected again to be the host for the Olympic games in the future.

    China has been gearing up their war fitting for the last couple of years.

    They should have been rejected over their ongoing ethic cleansing that isn't a secret at all. If that isn't enough to deny then hosting privilege nothing is.

    They should be rejected for occupying Republic of China (Taiwan). They should be rejected for occupying hong Cong or oppressing Tibet.

    It is an empire of evil.

    I thought the tradition of the Olympic games was to bring the otherwise warring states of Ancient Greece together regardless of whatever else they were doing to each other.

    They hosted it in 2008. Why not in Taipei, Tokyo, Sheol or Bombay. If it's about bringing warring states together why not the states China is warring with?
