Some of you said ‘excellent!’
A lot of you made him President.
He mocked a person with a disability,
Some of you said ‘it’s not what you see’
A lot of you said ‘let him be’.
He degraded women,
Some of you said ‘just talk’ ‘locker room fun’
A lot of you said ‘He’s just a human’.
So he insulted men of valor,
Some of you turned deaf ear,
To a lot of you, it didn’t matter.
So now, Kaepernick’s knee is keeping you awake,
Offending you, making your moral ground shake?
Now tell me again, who’s the snowflake?

Remember the silence when trump suggested John McCain and POWs were losers for getting captured. Where were the patriots?
ReplyDeletethe sad part is that trump inflicted all those sins by himself.
ReplyDeletein one way he was honest.
he showed his true character.
God Bless President Trump for shining alight on a light on all that is wrong in this country. He has given hope to millions. The republican party has been go9ven back to the people. The democrats are lost.
ReplyDeletePeople know they can trust him in the country's culture wars. Make America Great Again is not just a slogan.
Watch out Donnie, Mueller is coming for your butt and you WILL show us your tax returns, just like YOU promised so many times.
DeleteTrump has not divided this nation; he has only exploited the schism that has been here forever. The divide in this nation documented by the recent PBS "Vietnam" TV series is so telling. My guess is that history will show the Trump years to be the same disaster and setback as the Vietnam years (with the same buyer's remorse the "love it or leave it" "my country right or wrong" segment experienced). And just like the Vietnam years, the Trump opposition will gain steam and grow more mainstream in the months ahead. If the pushback we're witnessing is the effect of only 10 months of a Trump administration, where will we be in 18 or 24 months?
ReplyDeleteI thought you got off your Trump burning Bernie to actually concentrate on local issues.
ReplyDeleteI suppose that's like asking a leopard to change its spots
Some inconvenient truths: (Thank you VP Gore for that phrase)
ReplyDeleteObamacare was / is a disaster.
Illegal immigration is killing America.
Taxes are too high.
Government spending is way out of control.
Both parties are responsible and neither one is helping Joe Citizen.
Meanwhile politicians get rich in DC while we suffer.
The fact you were so fundamentally wrong about so many things Bernie should tell you how out of touch you are with what's going on with the Great Silent Majority (Thank you President Nixon for that phrase).
6:05: None of the woes you noted are being addressed by Trump. And the "silent majority" were the ones (like the MAGA dupes) with buyer's remorse; crook Nixon has been outdone by your current fabricator-in-chief.
ReplyDeleteNFL = No Fans League
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another Hate Trump Festival here!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Slackernick The Crappy Quarterback cries "America Is Racist" enough, the billionaire owners will be forced to put him on an NFL roster and pay him truckloads of money because hostage-taking can be profitable if it is done politically correctly.

The man is only human, of course, the left wants us to remember this. Yes, he says things that are not popular, but he is entitled to do this by our Constitution. The real truth of the matter is that he addresses real problems that have been swept under the rug for years. To make America great again, the truth has to be shown. For too long this country has been spending money it can't afford, letting immigration get out of control, unbalanced trade, an eroding of the military, paying for everybody's security, political correctness instead of the truth and useless legislators who have done nothing. And now you got an NFL turning out to be a political arena, unfettered by the league and their owners; with a bunch of thugs in uniforms disrespecting America and the veterans who gave them the opportunity to become someone. What a country!
ReplyDeleteTime for consetvative patriots to show respect for the Flag and remove their confederate flag and skull flag bumper stickers and plates.
ReplyDeletewell said

ReplyDelete"he says things that are not popular, but he is entitled to do this by our Constitution."
when "thugs" usually a right wing dog whistle meaning black,protest they are not covered by the Constitution?
I thought profiling was bad, 7:21?
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with the "usually" stuff?
Enforce double standards much?
I can understand that you are having a hard time coping with the fact that Donald Trump is President. And that's just too bad. America just did not want any part of Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's wife.
The National Football League is losing yardage big time on this "America Sucks" play. Check out the empty seats, check out the TV ratings. The crybaby millionaires do have the right to express themselves however they see fit. And We The People have the right to take our ticket money and patronage of NFL advertisers elsewhere.

ReplyDeletei have no problem with donnie "two scoops" winning the electoral college.
i do not care for trump's constant lying.
"crybaby millionaires" sounds like a profile you came up with. is that all players or just ones who protest?
feel free to take your ticket money elsewhere.
no one forces you to watch.
Back when Trump wanted to get into the NFL by buying a team/franchise, the owner's rejected him becoming an owner (http://www.newsweek.com/trumps-nfl-fight-dates-back-failed-usfl-experiment-80s-jeff-pearlman-670843)
ReplyDeleteWhile being an USFL owner, he tried to move their league from spring to the fall to compete with the NFL. TV Networks didn't give/sign contracts. He and the USFL sued the NFL for being a monopoly. They won. The jury awarded the USFL a whopping $3.xx, literally less than $5.00. Not millions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Football_League)
So, this is another attempt by Trump to incite "peaceful" protest - by the fans against the NFL to hurt the NFL where it matters most - their pocketbooks.
This is nothing more than deflection, and attaching to an issue which should not be as mainstream.
The National Anthem had only begun to be played at NFL games in 2009.
It was the DOD's paying the NFL to play the anthem to encourage enlistment into the armed services. The NFL was paid to play the National Anthem.
So, it wasn't done out of patriotism or respect for the flag or veterans or service members. It was a profit line item for the NFL.
Take that into consideration. Draw your own conclusions.
Trump has little to do with the public reaction, people were negatively responding to the protests before Trump said anything. The NFL and its players picked the wrong way to protest and make a statement. The sooner they realize that the sooner their audience will stop walking away in disgust at the goat rope they have become.
ReplyDeleteThis NFL brouhaha is great. Haven't heard anything about Russia, Russia, Russia in over a week.
ReplyDeleteWe have credible news that a hostile foreign government spent money on social media to influence our election, and some appear to believe the problem is with the media reporting it, rather than with the hostile foreign government.
ReplyDeleteLuckily there are some adult Republicans in Washington who feel differently and who are investigating this serious matter.
"Yes, he says things that are not popular, "
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of hearing people trying to defend the indefensible. The guy is a racist authoritarian who is going to plunge us into war!
10:41, I suppose that Kim Jong-un has little or nothing to do with causing that to happen. It's all Trump's fault, yes ?
ReplyDeleteNorth Korea has also been blustery, but Trump has needlessly and recklessly been aggravating the situation and is risking world war. Unlike TR, who believes in speaking softly and carrying a big stick, the Donald breys nonstop and has little hands.
ReplyDeleteLove it or leave it, baby!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be that North Korea would make ridiculous blustery statements that exceeded their actual abilities. The US responded in a measured, firm, and diplomatic manner.
ReplyDeleteSo perhaps Trump's accomplishment is lowering the mighty US to the same embarrassing behavior of North Korea. Oh, and appointing Judge Gorsuch.
Anyone tired of all the winning yet?
2:36 And what hath all that diplomacy with North Korea gotten the United States? A nuclear-bomb armed North Korea equipped with at least Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles, able to attack targets from Japan to Australia.
ReplyDeleteThank you Democrats for your diplomacy .....
President Trump has stated that NFL teams were “afraid” of their players. He's exactly correct.
ReplyDeleteThe NFL performers are what draws the fans to the stadium and the TV ratings. People watch the game to see them perform. Without the players performing their end zone dances, shimmy-shimmy shake-shake after every sack and God knows what they do when a tackle is made, the money would stop flowing into the Owner's coffers..
They remember the last NFL player's strike and the debacle of "The Replacements". So if the players decide that being scolded by the NFL is worthy of a walkout, they're fucked financially.
Trump is 100% correct as usual.
@3:33
ReplyDeleteLet's thank Republicans too, since pursued exactly the same strategy. Plus taking us into Iraq on false pretenses, with the support of lots of Dems, and discovering no WMD, while North Korea worked to develop its current capability.
Your view seems to be that unprecedented childish, embarrassing behavior is now a good negotiating tactic. OK let's see how that works out.
Are you tired of all the winning yet?
Who pays the performers' lucrative salaries? That's right, the fans and the NFL's sponsors. Always bear in mind that the fans have the right to buy or not buy NFL tickets and buy/use or not buy/use products & services marketed by the NFL's sponsors.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember "liberty fries" another alt-right fantasy creation. How did that work out? Ha!!
ReplyDeleteBS BS BS! Good God! Left wing rhetoric taken right out of George Soros' playbook! Good Grief!
ReplyDeleteHey, I 11:16, could you please mail Bernie a copy of that playbook you mention? Or, post a few screenshots here...pages 26-27 should be ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Got it. It's right next to Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and Hillary Clinton's "What Happened?"
ReplyDeleteThe fans' right to buy or not buy NFL game tickets and buy/use products and services of the NFL's sponsors is no fantasy by any stretch of the imagination.
ReplyDeleteThe NFL's TV ratings are reportedly down 12% from where the NFL's TV ratings were at this exact same point in the season last year. It is important to note that the NFL's TV ratings last year simply were not all that good, just for the record. Reportedly, the owners of ten NFL teams and eight NFL players all met with league commissioner Roger Goodell in New York City on Tuesday night to discuss this anthem "protest" situation.
"We are in a trying time right now ... with the fans pulling away from the greatest professional sports (league) in the country," said New York Giants defensive captain Jonathan Casillas, who was present at the meeting. "And that is being considered. That is being felt by the owners and players."
Now, if only somebody could tell New York Giants diva wide receiver Odell Beckham that acting like a dog taking a leak is NOT high quality athletic entertainment. And certainly not anything that makes normal people want to spend the considerable amount of money that it costs to buy NFL tickets. People spend money to watch Beckham make amazing pass receptions (something which he just so happens to be very good at) and not make statements / put on demonstrations which reflect his political beliefs.
Does Beckham have First Amendment rights? He sure does. But the fans have rights, too, and without the fans, there is no money from things like ticket sales, advertising and merchandising to pay the very lucrative salaries of the players.
It's well past time for this ill-advised "America Is Racist & Unjust" propaganda campaign that Slackernick The Ultimate Snowflake started to cease immediately.
And now I won't watch the NFL. Clean the swamp !
ReplyDeleteFinally Korea is listening because of the pressure only our president knows how to impose. Obama or Clinton couldn't figure that out..
ReplyDeleteI think the Russians are behind this NFL issue
ReplyDeleteIf a person kneels during the National Anthem, why is that less respectful than standing?
ReplyDeleteWhen a person in church kneels, is that showing disrespect?
What gives anyone here, or the president, the right to dictate whether a person stands or kneels during the anthem?
I have played the anthem probably hundreds of times as a musician in a band that was entirely seated. Were we being disrespectful by playing it while seated?
