I wasn't thinking. In fact, just after I saw your comment, my daughter posted on her IG that Biles was the most winningest (or most gold medals) Olympian ever and showed the women's US gymnast team with their gold medals. So...I would've found out anyway.

What? That doesn't even make sense. Ruiner!!

I don't think Trump can beat Harris if she remains sane and picks a decent VP. Trump and his VP are too backwards when it comes to women's reproductive rights. White women may not vote for Hillary, but they'll vote for Kamala.

Spolier!!!!!!! I was going to watch it tonight!!!!!!!!!

First, the 17th century artist who painted the Feast of the Gods was likely greatly influenced or simply imitated Da Vinci's Last Supper. Finally, I think the person who created this scene for the Olympics purposely made this depiction knowing full well it was salacious and sacrilegious.

So sad.

it was the Feast of the Gods by Jan someone or the other. Explanation, sorta: “There is Dionysus who arrives on this table. He is there because he is the God of celebration in Greek mythology,” Jolly said. “The idea was to have a pagan celebration connected to the gods of Olympus. You will never find in me a desire to mock and denigrate anyone.”

I don’t think that is what they were imitating. I read that it was something else. Maybe they’re backpedalling?

Is anyone watching the running of the torch? I'm at work and can't see anything. Please let me know what's going on and post links and pics if you can, thanks!

Sonya Massey - black woman shot by white police officer in her home

Toll booth operators don't carry guns and they interact with car drivers, and they even have money. Somehow, they manage to do their jobs without weapons. Meter maids aren't walking around with guns and they give out tickets all the time without much incident. What about people who tow cars! If they aren't being shot dead, then our special unarmed police will be just fine without them. I'm not saying regular police, I'm saying, make a special task force that only gives out tickets for things like speeding, going through stop signs, have a broken window or taillight out. Those people don't need to be armed. -

We will just have to disagree on this topic. If China and the United Kingdom manage, I think we can too. -

The same thing police officers do in other countries where they don't allow them to even carry guns. -

I think this was a video about compassion and standing up for people in need. Remember, a woman was murdered in front of her neighbors because no one called the police because they thought someone else would do it (bystander effect). I had a similar class and it taught me to take action when I witnessed abuse. I am forever grateful. -

I watched the video again too and I tried my best to put myself in his shoes and not see him as the villain. I did note that she didn't just turn off the boiling pot of water, she picked it up. Was it boiling spaghetti and she was planning to drain off the water into a colander that was in the sink? Why did she move with the pot of boiling water and did that movement make him think she was going to throw it at him? When she rebuked him, did he think she was calling him a demon and thought she was going to throw the water on him? This still doesn't absolve him from murder, I'm just trying to get into his mind. He was way too aggressive towards her. Even if she was mentally ill, she didn't deserve a bullet. What if she was drunk? I mean, people don't always act perfectly normal. I'll say it again as I've stated over the years, we need a first responder that doesn't involve guns. We don't need police with guns to pull over a car that ran a stop sign, has a taillight out or is driving over the speed limit. We don't need police with guns to help a family with an adult that is having an episode or mental breakdown, we don't need police with guns to respond to a noise complaint or an intruder that isn't currently intruding. -

Calling her a supermodel is delusional. https://time.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/melania-trump-model-first-lady-031.jpg?w=760&w=760 -

You just said a whole lot of nothing. What does my whole life have to do with my comment? See how you can't stay on topic? I've read multiple comments about Kamala and her sexual exploits, that by the way, no one really knows the truth. Attack her voting record and policies and try not to kick dust around by straying off of the subject. -

I guess none of you have seen the video. She was asked to remove the boiling water from the stove. She actually bends down in fear when they approach her with their guns. How can she throw the water at them when she bends down in fear? I suggest you watch the video instead of believing lies. -

It's funny, you conservatives...and let me say, I'm not a fan of Kamala Harris, but you guys seem to always say something negative about politicians you don't like that have absolutely nothing to do with their education, careers or policies. You'll seem less racist if you discuss all those things you don't like that refer to things they've done while in office instead of what they've done in their private lives, what they look like or where they came from... -

Biden has COVID, he said "should his doctors tell him he had a "medical condition," he would consider dropping out".

How much handout do you think welfare was paying? It was $3000/year. Read it again, $3000 a year. People have 10x that amount a year in loans. That handout was to provide 2 humans a way to stay alive for a year, not for optional adult education. Today, 1 child to 1 single mother gets $5100/yr. in the state of NJ. I really wish people would stop complaining about welfare/TANF benefits. It's only enough to prevent people from starving and living on the streets. Of course, it never paid enough to cover rent, which is how people get stuck in the cycle of poverty. You have to get rental assistance or live in the housing projects to be able to afford rent at very low prices. Once in an area where there are no jobs, no good education, safety or decent healthcare, you're stuck. It was only a miracle of an ex-boyfriend that saved me. -
Well, if it is Kamala, I sure hope she has something in her to show that I haven’t seen in the past 4 years. She’s been a bump on a log if you ask me.

No one likes Kamala. Who will run instead?
