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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

Eric Smith

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Belinda Kitchen

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

Max DeYoung

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Toasty

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Fat Guy Outdoors

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

Lisha Lammers

No, the Marines should NOT be deployed to States against their own people.

Toasty

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.
