    SERIOUSLY???? I find this absolutely infuriating. So Americans are not allowed to support our president? Totally unacceptable. LINK

    "Cycling team Trek-Segafredo has suspended the 2019 junior road race world champion Quinn Simmons after he made comments in support of President Donald Trump on Twitter.

    Simmons, a 19-year-old American, was replying to Dutch cycling journalist Jose Been. Been initially tweeted statements that were critical of Trump.

    "My dear American friends, I hope this horrible presidency ends for you. And for us as (former?) allies too,” Been wrote, via the Associated Press."If you follow me and support Trump, you can go. There is zero excuse to follow or vote for the vile, horrible man."

    Simmons replied to Been with “Bye,” and a Black-skinned waving hand emoji.

    After another Twitter user replied to Been with "Apparently a Trumper," Simmons replied again with "That's right" and an American flag emoji.

    Welcome to the New World Order.

    Americans can support our President...when an "acceptable" one is in power...just as Americans can congregate to commit arson, but don't go to church.

    So how much of this sh!t are we going to sit back and allow to happen? We can be "outraged," but it keeps happening.

    I was asking this the other day.

    The Destroyers have actions they can take:
    -Attack anyone wearing MAGA
    -Loot
    -Riot
    -Commit arson
    -Vandalize

    We have no actions we can take to stand up for normalcy and to expunge our rage.
