Warriors skip meeting Trump, meet with Obama instead

WASHINGTON (FOX NEWS) - The NBA champion Golden State Warriors missed out on a White House visit for the second year in a row, meeting instead Thursday with former President Barack Obama rather than President Trump.

Pro sports teams are traditionally invited to the White House after winning championships, but Trump rescinded the offer to the Warriors in September 2017 after stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant made critical remarks. Curry and Durant said their team wasn't planning on visiting Trump anyway ...

VERY much a bunch of champions, and with the guts to back up good government. Strong young men with great morals and a vision of the future.

Add that my own kids still say I make the world's best potato salad and slaw, but why limit? These kids are worth it. They're MORE than worth it. I probably outdo Michelle on fried catfish if I could find any!

Not fucking cold fast food. Actually, I can't remember when I last put fast food beyond the recycler..

These kids (and I can say kids, being as I'm over retirement age) have the dignity and resolve to help the whole wide world once they get out of school. I am SO impressed with them, have listened to interviews and such.

I have no doubt at least a couple of them will go on to be Congresscritters, Senators, and possibly POTUS. Those that don't will serve communities and states.
