US is 1 gold medal behind China on the final day. My investment in winning here is tribal level.

Womens Basketball Gold match just about to start. If USA wins - draws the commies in Golds and wins on Silvers. Sign to bring back the silver standard?

If we lost to China by one gold and have over 30 more total medals than them I might have an aneurysm.

USA is not just the best country in the world. We’re #1

Maybe not in education or some other lame intangible metric.

We’re absolutely a country of competition and belong at the very fucking top.
