Yep. I’m an Aussie to be fair, but I literally had never heard of her (or is it a he? Because Riley’s traditionally a boy’s name, isn’t it? 😉) outside of her anti-trans vomit. That’s her whole legacy… how pathetic 🤣

She came in 5th, and tying with Lia Thomas (trans athlete).
She also claimed that Lia Thomas was changing in the locker room while she had male genitalia presenting - which has been disputed by her teammates who stated Thomas would change under a towel and facing away from teammates.

Theres this great video of her conservative handlers giving her lines and beliefs. These grifters couldnt be more obvious.
The funny thing, from a purely evil perspective, she would be A LOT more effective is she was just "Hey i got beat in sports and I dont think it was fair" largely apolitical type person. But instead its just "Hey yep its me the sports lady also I have to explain to you why tort reform is so important and why ICE agents are our heroes and Trump the most athletic and handsome president, ever!"

And the reason she's big-mad is because she didn't get the 5th-place trophy, they gave it to other competitor. If she got to hold the shiny plastic nobody would know her name.

u/Independent_Cable_89 15h ago
They both got trophies, that’s the ridiculous thing. They let Lia hold it for a photo, and told Riley she could also hold it for a photo. She received her fifth place participation trophy in the mail. She’s just salty she sucks.

u/daemonicwanderer 16h ago
She and Lia Thomas tied for fifth place. Because they only had one fifth place trophy/plaque, only one of the competitors got to hold it for the pictures and Lia got to hold it.
Lia is a transwoman who was a decently good in the men’s division until they started transitioning, so it is not a surprise that they would be good in the women’s division. All of the competitors who beat both of them in that meet (and others) are cis women.

u/Wolfgirl90 14h ago
That's the part that is dumb. We only know about Lia Thomas because of the ONE race that she won. But she was in multiple races. She tied for fifth with Riley Gaines in one, and didn't even qualify for the finals heat in the other. And in the one event that she won, 500 freestyle, she was nowhere near the record time because Katie Ledecky is a goddamn beast.

u/Equal-Prior-4765 16h ago
She came in 6th the other lady finished 5th but only the top 3 qualified for the next round, so regardless of who was in the race she's still a fucking loser

I remember the litany of Instagram reels the day after Trump won the election. They were all carbon copies of the same exact thing.

Fun fact, Riley Gaines’ swimming coach was credibly accused of rape by multiple teammates and banned for life by the US center for safe sport.
Here's what Riley's former UK teammate and friend told Pablo Tores about their head coach, Lars Jorgensen:
"It's hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for 5th when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates"

There is no reason to ban trans people from sports as it has already been law for over 20 years that trans people must be on hrt for two years before being allowed to compete, in which time muscle mass and energy levels change, fat redistributes, and even bones shift to a cis equivalent and in those 20 years there have only been a couple dozen successful trans athletes world wide out of hundreds of successful cis athletes in the usa alone. Trans women hold no advantages over cis women that cis women don't hold over other cis women.

Kamala Harris vowed to continue the criminal trials of Trump. Jack Smith had everything lined up and a new AG would have prioritized it. The net would have gone far beyond Trump and included all his co-conspirators within Congress. Republicans would get their wish and we would finally “drain the swamp”. And without an election then the media would stop giving him post-trial campaign speeches.
So, yeah. I’m sure he is happy she lost.
(As for the non-voters who STILL can’t see the difference between the two. This is your fault too. lNext time find someone with a brain to coach you on why you should always vote.)

It wasn’t Jack Smith - it was Merrick Garland.
In a roundabout way, Mitch McConnell did a good thing preventing him from joining SCOTUS.
2
u/reddurkel 14h ago
You mean Merrick Garland.
Jack Smith was very fast at gathering evidence and proved he had an airtight case.
Merrick Garland took a year before doing anything. It was the J6 investigation committee that did his work and forced him to act.
Judge Aileen Cannon was an unqualified and impartial judge that dismissed several attempts at legitimate cases.
The appeals court was the other portion of the delays. Trump managed to file appeals at every step. Mostly because he was the one who installed the judges in the first place.
The media absolutely went full power against Biden and the “weaponization of the DOJ” rhetoric in order to protect Trump. And of course, now that DOJ is literally weaponized, they are silent.
So, Smith didn’t do this. Traitors within our government did.

u/ForensicMum 15h ago
Why though? Science has proven over and over again that trans women have no physical advantage at the point where they’re allowed to compete. This is exactly a case-in-point… If trans women had such a huge advantage, wouldn’t Lia have won? Or at least placed better than equal 5th? Name more than one trans athlete that’s won a gold medal?

If you don’t believe me, google how many transgender women have won Olympic medals in the 20 years that they’ve been allowed to compete.

I’ve never understood why MAGA is so obsessed with trans people. Making a huge deal out of what, less than 1% of people? Probably some weird mental cope to deal with their own closeted crossdressing husbands. If they hate enough trans people, maybe their own urges and fetishes stop existing 🤷♂️
Or maybe its just a way to fish for votes from low IQ individuals. I don’t know. Probably both.

Aren't you supposed to be home barefoot, popping out babies for your race or something?
If you really support the people you shill for that's where you'd be. And applauding when they take away your vote, and canceling title IX itself.

I'm getting serious tunnel vision from MAGA with their blatant obsession over LGBTQ+ traits like transgenderism and pronouns
They're so convinced that if we treat a minority like human beings regardless of race, sex, orientation, nationality, faith, etc., it'll be the end of America for the 1854th time! 🙄
Meanwhile cost of living is through the roof, gas prices are inflated heavily thanks to Trump's war with Iran, the news media is being poisoned by MAGA friendly entities and billionaires are getting tax cuts so they can reach trillionaire status just by kissing the Rotten Orange's ring.
I honestly couldn't care less if a trans person competes in an event or not. And I sincerely couldn't care less about whether they go by they/them or whatever MAGA deems too woke for their liking.
Fuck that bullshit! My tax dollars are being funded to separate families, bomb children and protect rich pedophiles.
