    Nobody has a clue what they're protesting.

    We can't talk about that you see because it suggests the problem is not solely the responsibility of cracker ass crackers.

    Well nobody can say you are prejudiced, can they? I mean- anybody who knows so much about everything just couldn't be wrong about anything. There's probably a medical name for that condition, but I doubt there is a treatment. I'd liked to see your track record in life- surely, you have accomplished so much more than Trump but just got overlooked by the world, and that is so unfair. Since fame hasn't given you your due, maybe you could try comedy. I know I'm laughing.

    Lol, I'm not prejudiced, and I can be wrong about many many things. But, when I stay on the side of overwhelming evidence, I usually am not. It is possible I'm wrong about trump, and about the world being round... but I'm not.

    I think he took his dad's $20 million, and his dad's name. He scammed a little bit and whored his dad's name a lot, ponzied and borrowed (for example from the russians) enough to keep up appearances, and that's the real reason he is so scared of releasing his taxes. Now, all of that is pure speculation, but it makes sense. He doesn't really act like a guy with billions.

    What is not conjecture is that he's stupid and incompetent. There's mountains of evidence for that. We also know that he drove at least some of his companies deep into the ground through the same incompetence and stupidity. The way that incompetence and stupidity is described fits exactly with the way he runs his administration. Infighting, sewing chaos, personal attacks, no leadership, and a complete unwillingness to learn how the business works. That stuff works when running scams, but not real business. So, maybe he legitimately made some money at some point, but it seems impossible to imagine how.

    As for me, there's no need to worry lol, I'm doing fine. But even the hobo down the street hasn't lost billions, and isn't billions in debt. So, it seems likely that he's doing better.

    People who think Trump owes everything to his father don't know that inherited wealth is frequently squandered. He has made mistakes, sure, but he bounced back. He's now much richer than his father ever was (how do you think he fuels his big jet and pays for that NYC apartment?), and now he's the POTUS.

    And you're not.

    Cry harder; it may help.

    You don't appear to be fine. You appear to be very bitter, your "LOL's" notwithstanding.

    Which foundations? The vote, freedom of speech and of the press? Separation of powers? He hasn't murdered, imprisoned, or even taken a single step towards censoring or disenfranchising anyone. The Left tells the most preposterous lies about him, with their phony Russian dossier, complete with urinating prostitutes.

    He just laughs and bites back, and the Left is appalled.

    "It's all so ... so ... TWO-SIDED!"

    You are blatantly stating you hate US soldiers and Veterans by saying that people who support Trump do not support the flag.

    Do you also wait at the airport and spit on veterans when they return home from a tour?

    Good luck with that. You think a head coach is going to can their best player because of how he's positioned in a song? How many dog fighters and rapists play for the NFL? You are naive if you think the NFL will get that political. They want great players and if that means the kneel then they'll kneel.

    Then why is a fraction of a percent of judges African American? Why do women make up more than 50% of the population yet less than 20% of congress? Why are black men jailed longer than white men for the same crime? Why are voter ID laws targeted to specific geographic and socioeconomic areas? Why is a case being heard by the Supreme Court because a baker wouldn't sell a gay couple a cake? Why is the Supreme Court finally going to hear a gerrymandering case? Just because people have equal rights under the law does not mean systems or individuals are following those laws.

    The head coach got nuthin to do with it. The TV networks want ratings and the advertisers want exposure to viewers. They all go hand in hand. Advertisers put their money where it gets the most exposure, the pharmaceutical companies already took their $50 million in advertising and are spending it elsewhere. If the NFL's ratings continue to drop other advertisers will follow suit.

    Of the 1034 people killed during encounters with the Police in 2016, 215 were black and 330 were white.

    I never said or implied any of that blatantly or otherwise. I want to say something very dickish, but I won't. I will say this: The military doesn't all support trump, lots and lots of us quietly don't. But, using pure logic, there is one inescapable conclusion. Supporting trump is not a pro American position. And it is for sure worse than taking a knee.

    Look, there are many otehr options, heck, impeachment would at least leave an adult in charge who can speak english, and probably actually does have some American interests at heart. The very sad truth however is that at this point, the republicans have been shown to not be the party of America. They have disrespected the country far far more than the dems. It may be that if the left got a candidate as bad as trump they might be just as bad, but right now it's purely theoretical. The right on the other hand was faced with the challenge and lost. They really actively tried to screw the country. So, you can make your own decisions politically, but when it comes to trump, its not opinion or politics, pro trump is anti America.

    so when Trump calls black football players SOB's should people think it's about their mothers or his views on black players, why would Trump call their mothers the B word?

    isn't that the logic you are using?

    it is funny how Trump wants football players to be politically correct after all his nonsense about American being too politically correct

    Meh, TDS. The progressives have screwed the country for over 100 years. Now the dems fight openly against rights.

    Screw Trump ... and doesn't Own a NFL Team and he never will.

    The doofus doesn't even watch Football, yet he get's his willful idiots to think he's patriotic while he goes overseas and trashes America on China soil; and his sheep follow along while foreign countries are laughing their ass off and giggling behind Trumps back when they throw him a Clown Parade ... and he tinks they love him.

    o_O What a bunch of gullible morons

    I think its kind of cute how you responded without actually responding. I guess that you are hoping that I go off on your non sequitur? Lets try again....

    If, in an effort to highlight the injustices done to Native Americans I decided to publically punch you in the nose, would you consider my action to be about Native American injustice, or would you consider it to be about your nose?

    Why is the principle any different when kneeling during the National Anthem?

    lol, I know it's painful to face, but all evidence points to me being right, and more comes out every day. The 100 years thing is just an emotional statement, and so are accusations of 'tds.' In reality, I like this country even after the past 100 years, in fact especially after the last 100 years.
