If Trotz doesn't make the ENTIRE team go to the White House GRACIOUSLY, without any political bullshit I then I'll lose ALL respect for the team and the NHL, and someone else can take over this forum.
I can't stand all this imagined incoherent bullshit, divisive nonsense. It's pure idiocy, and when you ask someone like DSP to give an example of why he makes these accusations you will NEVER get an articulate cogent reply.
This puts a damper on the experience of the Caps winning the cup. I refuse to watch the NFL for a second because of their bullshit disrespect for the flag and what it stands for. I really thought the NHL players had more class.
I'm pissed! Why are there so many people desperately trying to keep the "N" word alive?

I don't know... Thomas refused to visit the White House under Obama when the Bruins won the Cup.

They use EVERY opportunity to play the race, gender or whatever card they can. If you don't agree with them then it's only a matter of time before you're given a name ending in "ist" or you're accused of an "ism" of some sort. Sadly, too many conservatives ando middle of the road folks fear those names.

I have not read your post but as a matter of prinicpal (spelling??) I have to disagree. You are full of it, KitFisto.

What's wrong with you? Of course they do. Part of hockey is about fighting... Like players like fans.

See, here's where I have an issue with this President. He is precisely trying to make his position all about himself. Conducting diplomacy by namecalling, as if other countries' perspectives are a personal insult to the country because they are a personal insult to him. Taking advantage of his position in unprecedented ways to blatantly enrich himself and supporting his family in their efforts to do the same. Announcing official policy by tweet storm because that's his preferred way of communicating, after which he may radically change what he said a few days later, undermining his own staff. Making statements about policy and the state of the country that in many cases can be shown to be untrue, but continuing to double down on it because, well, to admit that he is being incorrect about something would be a personal blow to his ego. All of this is his approach to commingling the office of the Presidency and his own personna -- it's all about Donald Trump, all the time.

It's not the way I would do things either but oddly it does seem to have had a positive effect on at least one difficult situation. But we will have to see how that goes. I fully expect one of the two to walk out again in the summit.
It's refreshingly different to see the unfiltered thoughts of the President instead of a carefully crafted memo that says nothing and is weasel worded so that any result has been "predicted". A weather report from any other White House would read "Sunny, possibly rainy with a chance of snow and ice." Trump has an opinion and let's you know it before he runs it by a focus group to see how "acceptable" it is to the general public and the party. Again, we have a system of government in place that is going to protect us from this trial. If it doesn't, then we need to scrap it because that was the purpose of the three bodies of government.
Regarding the other claims here, anything Trump does to improve the economy would enrich his family. So logically, Trump needs to tank the economy in order to invalidate your statement. Yes, I know that Ivanka is likely getting special treatment from the Chinese government. This isn't the first time this has ever happened in the history of politics. I can name numerous other incidents of special treatment for politically connected relatives, even in recent times. Yes, it's crappy. We even had a word for it, nepotism. All administrations suffer from this curse.
