NFL players kneeling during National Anthem

but Trump is not doing anything to elevate the Office of the President. He's lowering it.

I don't always agree with PB but when I do it's because i'm right. Yes, I'd still take Trump over a Clinton but at this point, considering Trump's piss poor behavior, I'm finding myself actually missing Obama. I may not have agreed with everything he did but at least he acted like a respected leader.

No.

Democrats were proud when Obama was bashing the police, Christians, our country, and campaigning and supporting a presidential candidate more than any US president in history, because those are all things Democrats love and cherish.

I'm going to be proud when Trump calls out the bullshit happening in this country that I agree with him on as well and I'm not going to hold him to a higher standard than Democrats held Obama to.

Please, by all means, point out where Obama "bashed the police."

Obama, in reality, criticized Black Lives Matter (for which they resented him), repeatedly / defended / police and urged calm and restraint on both sides.

Similarly, please point out where Obama ever "bashed Christians" -- considering he's a Christian -- and "our country."

You literally voted -- and continunously serve up half-baked apologetics -- for someone whose campaign and family knowingly conspired with the Russian government. You don't get to call someone else's patriotism into question without being appropriately called out as a totally deluded imbecile.

I'm sorry you're so retarded.

I'm sorry that, month after month, you still can't scrounge your dumpster fire of a brain for an actual independent thought. Let me know when you become able to articulate your own opinions rather than recycling Breitbart's, though.

It's now at over 20 tweets since Saturday about this. Calling for boycots of the NFL. Calling for people to be fired. That you would try to act like Obama in any way acted anything even remotely like this just shows how detached from reality your adoration of Trump is.

So an NFL player can kneel and gain media attention for an opinion but the President can't gain media attention for an opinion...

I love the double standard.

I'm amused you think a) that I'm angry about this at all, b) that your insults will rile me up, c) that I'd like to invent a reason to be additionally mad at Trump, and d) that you think I don't know how "son of a bitch" is actually used by most people.

Anyway, you can continue living in denial about how those NFL players interpreted Trump's words. Sorry for intruding on your bubble.

Do you think those NFL players are really so stupid that they genuinely took "son of a bitch" literally? Or is it just more faux outrage, which is all the rage these days?

It can't be both, and it can't be neither.

The point you make is legitimate and that is the main problem. Our politics have become a "he said, she said" and that is a dangerous landscape to be in. The president regardless of whoever they are serves the greater good and has to transcend party lines once in power because his or her constituency becomes everyone and when both sides are self serving it creates the ripples in our communities we have. I get that out POTUS will have to lean one way or the other but overall the system has been skewing too much to each parties hard lines and has created a divisive nation, albeit because we allowed it to

I blame social media.

I see what you did there heheheh

Lol @your rep

[Methais]

By this logic I think it's safe to say that the NFL players weren't kneeling in protest, they were kneeling in honor of the flag.

There's only one thing we should be kneeling before anyway...

Lol @your rep

Thanks for, once again, proving my point. Couldn't do it without your eager, willing and predictable stupidity.
