Lulz, yeah, they are the ones calling for government to control healthcare. They are the ones trying to control education at the federal level. They are the ones telling schools what to serve for lunch. They are the ones telling carmakers what to manufacture...
Oh wait, that was liberals. The same people STILL calling for a government takeover of healthcare. Trump is the authoritarian, though, because he wants to reduce your taxes so you keep more of what you earn. Damn him! That dictator wannabe!

Shame on the president for loving his country and believing those made wealthy on the backs of the efforts of others should show some respect. I know it is quite jarring to see someone demand accountability after 8 years of spineless rhetoric.
everyone who becomes wealthy does so on the backs of the efforts of others, including trump, if we're being honest. so what?
i thought you were into less government control? calling for people to be fired is a pretty big reach for the government.
Does Trump respect the anthem? Does he show respect for those in the military who sacrificed so he could prosper?
Commenting is now equal to control?
you meant specifically and solely the military? i thought we were talking bigger than that, but fair enough.
it wasn't a comment. it was calling for their firing on a public platform by the boss of america. he didn't out right fire them himself. i guess that is what it would take for you to object at all.
Yes, I would object to the president firing people on the private sector. No, I do not think the commander in chief of our armed forces respecting those that serve is a problem.
the president should respect our armed forces and should not try to influence who gets fired in the private sector. looks like we may be in agreement.
I guess the players showing some respect is impossible. Hire thugs, get thug behavior.
I did. Do I seem like the type who wouldn't say what I felt?
Those "thugs" have all done more for this country in whatever period they've been in the league than you have in your entire life. They're more patriotic in action than you could ever hope to be regardless of whether they take a knee during the national anthem, or stand out of internalized peer pressure like 90% of people who pretend to give a shit about something with no actual importance (our national anthem).

Interesting how people hated the same protests under Obama, yet now doing so is wanting Trump as dictator. Kinda weird.
"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
Maybe time to get a new national anthem altogether tbh. America's history is so deeply rooted in racism, they had a stanza dedicated to shitting on the slaves who fought for their own freedom.

Must have wanted an Obama dictatorship also.
When did Obama call half the NFL players' moms "bitches" and threaten their employment?
Neo-Nazis: "very fine people"
Peaceful NFL protesters: "sons of bitches"
Racist scum who caters to a base full of racist scum.
Your inability to grasp what a uniquely abhorrent monster Trump is has left you and others in the sad position of rejecting our greatest cultural export, professional sport leagues. Some day you guys will wake the fuck up. Until then, you'll continue to reject the things that actually make America great one by one until you only share Trump's sad, spiteful ideas.

That line might work on someone else. I have done more than a lot of those people, tbh. Well, if you are talking about arrests they are fucking laying the hammer down on me though...
Foo - been arrested zero times
NFL Thugs - arrested 24 times this offseason alone.
God damn I am a loser!
RIP Aaron Hernandez, you were the GOAT, but OJ can still catch you!

What "line"? It's not a line. It's a fact. I wouldn't make the point if I didn't know you're charitable yourself. You've not given as much or done as much as these guys. It's not even close. Not a shot at you, just reality.

So, Francis Scott Key, writing about the war of 1812, in 1814, was referencing the Civil War in 1861? Time traveler!
Amazing. This is the new thing I have been reading on the internet. Who started this nonsense?
Foo, can you explain the delusional conservative obsession with symbolism to the point where actions don't matter, only what you present on camera does?

But yeah, I am the unhinged one here.
Huh? The mobility of slaves was a huge issue during both the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. I know you were taught some distorted bumfuck "Lost Cause" southern history wherever you grew up, but I had no idea your grasp on antebellum American history was just as corrupted by bullshit.

What makes you so sure? Keep in mind, I have had longer to do it. I sold over 100 homes in a single year, while in my 20's. I am on my second successful business. You think all those guys sitting have done much more than be great college players and toil in the league for a couple seasons, because that is the NFL norm, not stardom. Half those guys will be broke before they are my age.
Why are you trying so hard to push the "you mad?" card. So predictable. Whenever you can't defend your precious president, talk about how I'm really the problem. Unhinged? Really? Find some new tricks.

What makes me sure is that they are doing events in the community pretty much every week they are employed by the team. Again, has nothing to do with you. You're simply not comprehending the access they have.
