    Sympathies to anyone who lives in LA. If you didn’t want the Olympics before, you sure don’t now.

    We need to cancel the LA olympics. We cant have federal law enforcment in charge of anything more inside california. Currently the olympics security is currently in the hands of the secret service. Having them operating in California with their own mandates is a bad, bad, bad idea.

    Interesting that the President himself is “leading” this task force. You think he would be to busy to concern himself with security for an event like this …

    … Oh. I see. Congress allocated $1 Billion for Olympics security. So it’s all about the grift, isn’t it?

        And choreograph the opening ceremony that will be 2 hours dedicated to praising emperor Trump.

          I imagine there will be lots of children who look like Ivanka jiggling their bodies in the show.

          ( man, in the US of even 20 years ago, my comment would be removed for even saying such a thing-- now its just … normal politics )

    Funny how the party of limited federal government likes to do things at a national level that normally are done locally.

      Certainly I expect it to join the category of these memorable Olympic games:

      Hitler salute at 1936 Berlin Olympics

      Misha the Bear dancers at 1980 Moscow Olympics
