    Allocating funds for pet projects that failed to become law in Congress is just 1 example.

    Can you provide an actual example of money spent that was not allocated by Congress. Do you know anything about the very complex Federal Capital Planning and Investment Process? Are you aware that all Federal spending is linked to detailed investment budget exhibits approved by Congress and subject to yearly financial audits by Big 4 accounting firms?

    No, because a Federal Judge blocked Trump from wiping his ass with the Constitution.

    Get with the program. They are supposed to be called women, not girls.

    You seem to believe there was one time when Trump was prevented from doing something you don't like. What was that one thing?

    Defying the Supreme court and defying Congress is a perfect example.

    Really? No, it is not where the money is. It is where the glory of representing their country is. the money sucks and that is why they are suing the federation.

    No sources are as irrational as the sources claiming the 2 set the flag on the ground and stomped on it.
    From the video, it doesn't even look like it got stepped on, as another player quickly picked it up without any resistance.

    This thread for whiners to have something to whine about because now the USA women's soccer team is one of the best in world history. And that makes these type of people mad.

    If the MSM did their jobs and print the news as they' supposed to, trashy tabloid blogs be forced to print trashy tabloids. As it stands, Main Stream Media print trash and trashy tabloid blogs print news :D

    You're right; the flag was thrown on the ground not set on the ground and was about to be stomped on if another (no doubt red blooded all American girl) quickly retrieved it.

    Makes much difference, does not it? :D

    It wasn't even being looked at by the women celebrating the victory. They didn't even have a clue the flag was picked up, without an resistance as the flag was not being stepped on.
    I bet they weren't even aware of what was handed to them, as they were already starting their celebratory dance when someone was trying to give it to them.

    No throwing on ground on purpose, no standing, stepping, or stomping on took place.
    The thread is a lie. The source of the story is a lie. The only thing they got correct was the flag was on the ground.

    I agree, the title paints a very different picture than what I saw in the video...

    The flag should never touch the ground.
    It's disrespectful no matter how you slice it.

    I finally watched the video. There is no question, she dropped it on the ground intentionally. There is no argument for any accidental dropping it. She dropped it for a moment with the camera. She is a scumbag.

    People should keep that in mind.
    News source spouts something
    Look at the responses the truth is in the middle. In this instance, the truth is closer to the shes a scumbag side than she is a hero side. Her celebration and camera shot was more important to her than treating the flag with even the most basic respect.
    She is a self centered scumbaggy little creep.
