Should have dropped out

Biles said she had a case of the "twisties," which happens to gymnasts when they lose track of where they are in the air. The twisties could lead to serious injuries.

She's the only one who knows if she is in the headspace to compete. This is a woman who blew the whistle on abuse, has lead us to multiple championships, and most of the people criticizing her can't even reach the floor to pick up the cheeto they just dropped walking back from the kitchen.

Max

All of her responsibilities as a representative of the United States, and her responsibilities to BLM, just overwhelmed her.

Candice Kundert

Because she said she could not trust her mind and body. This is a very dangerous sport and if you are not feeling it, it is definitely best to drop out. I believe it very important to know yourself and care for your safety and make good self care decisions. I fully support her.

Max

Yes, she should go home and never return.

Carolyn McCartney

It's No ones business except hers.

Weakness it the American way. We expect nothing more than weakness. Just like in our schools, government, and our Democratic Party. WEAKNESS FTW!

Some have criticized Biles as a quitter who gave up when the going got tough.

She messed up her routine and all of a sudden had a " mental" problem? Really? More like ego. No gold no play is more like it, or so it looks like. By getting the Twisties all of a sudden the focus was again all about her and not on the one who actually won the gold. Now here she is, back

Real Champions don't have these issues.

Do you believe the POTUS should have broad authority to impose tariffs on other countries?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
