STFU Remember how Donald Trump, yappy racist-in-chief, thinks he's winning the fight he picked with NFL football players exercising their First Amendment right to take a knee during the national anthem to draw attention to police brutality and racism in America? We're not inside the president's addled brain, but we're guessing his "thinking" is predicated on the misguided belief that, unlike other sports enthusiasts, fans of NFL FOOOOOBAAWWWWWWWWW are much more likely to be flag-wavin', gun-totin', Bible-believin' heartland Americans, therefore they will ALL agree with Trump that their football heroes who happen to be black should really pipe the fuck down and stop reminding everybody that they're black, and if they insist on doing so, those sumbitches' "owners" should tell them YOU'RE FIRED!
i understand the point you're making. i'm a construction worker, and when i bring it up at work, what i hear from the rank and file is a kind of whine:
"can't they just play the game? i don't want to think about this shit. i just want to watch football."
they're largely incurious, and the topic makes them uncomfortable on a gut level. it takes them out of their insular little lives of waking up, laying bricks, going home, eating, and drinking themselves to sleep.
when do they give a shit about socioeconomic issues?
I have suspected for years that many of the same people who claim to love Jesus and His teachings, if they had been present for that first "Good" Friday, would have crowded Pilate's courtyard, shouting "Crucify Him!".
It is still important to remember that, dumb as this NFL distraction is, it is still a distraction, a Hail-Melania pass, if you will.
Manafort is being squeezed so hard that he has to flip.
Flynn wants to flip but they don't even need him. He and his son will both have to flip and if sonny boy dodges it, Pop could spend the rest of his life in a stockade.
Trump is panicking and this is what panic looks like.
They are the ones who did not walk away from Omelas. Someone must be suffering excruciating pain and misery in order for them to think highly for themselves.
How many deplorables can we put in a hand basket?

pretty much never.
how do you leave *after* slamming the door?
btw, go bearsss.
Oooohhhh, hey, man. . . .

Why?
Not why about your brother-in-law but why burn jerseys?
Ignorant, hateful fucksticks are nothing new to this country. Trump just made them think it's ok to come out and play.

No secondary. No secondary. You're the secondary.
Joke?
No. If they're valuable then I'd sell them and get the money for them. I'm not destroying my own shit just because I don't like somebody.
I know, that's why I was teasing ya. I have to come up and visit your glorious cheese store.

I agree! Sell them and donate some of the money to the ACLU! It's like burning money otherwise.
