Tom Brady wonât save the shit gibbon in Patriot NationâŚ
So essentially the GOP is hoping that there are enough white fans who hate black football players for not just being gladiatorbots?
NFL aligned voters in tDrumf country will never support democrats, so donât worry about it and just keep on hitting on taxes and health careâŚ
Off-topic, but are we sure this guy wasnât part of the Administration?
Hint: He set out to ram the ABC affliliate officesâŚ
So much winning, I canât contain myselfâŚ
I just have to wonder what reason there would be for any soldiersâ sacrifices other than to protect the rights we have in this country. And among those rights, I think that protesting the continual shooting of unarmed black people qualifies.
By siding with the president and the team owners against the players?
Yeah that is going to work.
yâall have ruined just about everything else youâve touched, so have at is - destroy football too. Please.
I donât think this plays as well as theyâd like it to. I imagine the average American, even those uncomfortable with the protest, scratches their head and wonders what any of this has to do with Congress. Otherwise, it seems to me that theyâre simply handing the Democrats yet another issue to run on. Depending on the district, itâs a pretty easy argument to make. âIâm uncomfortable with the kneeling during the anthem, but they have a first amendment right to do so. Unlike my opponent, I believe in freedom of speech and the right to express it even when I disagree.â All Democrats need to do is to keep coming back to the free speech and Constitutional issue which just leaves the Republican on the side of arguing against one of our most basic rights.
Distraction! Dog Whistle! Squirrel!
Go ahead and try that tactic. The only people youâll convince are the already convinced-- theyâll probably be shoeless after burning the only pair of sneakers they got. The rest of us will rely on facts.
Releasing a video of a veteran who lost both legs in Vietnam, the Cruz campaign attacked OâRourke as unpatriotic, asking âin November, where will you stand?â
Yep, sounds like Cruz. Odious, base, and canât help victimizing those he purports to help.
I can also feel the NFL owners clenching a little tighter at the thought they might lose half of their viewership. Go GOP!!
It always comes back to racism, plain and simple, no matter how much lipstick Republicans put on that pig.
Itâs the central organizing principle of the GOP base.
When all else fails, itâs all theyâve gotâŚ
They could run trumpâs tweet about not thinking people should be allowed to protest over clips of what police in various places used to do to protestors.
Iâm with you, but I know some people that are livid at the football players for disrespecting the flags and our soldiers. It makes zero sense to me, but these people will never be Democratic voters anyway.
The NFL isnât Willie Horton, but it will do in a pinch.
Itâs a good thing for the Dems that the Black athletes in the Destruction Derby and Tractor Pull circuit arenât taking a knee.
Nope they wonât so they are irrelevant. I do not believe that a majority of Americans are barbecuing their Nikes any more than a majority of Americans destroyed their Keurigs because Hannity. Just the stupid racist ones.
The people who are livid about the protests are the children of those who were livid about integration, livid about the end of Jim Crow, and livid when blacks began demanding equality. Ultimately, black folks seeking equal treatment under the law has always been a source of white hot rage, but instead of lunch counters and five year old girls named Ruby, theyâre directing their ire at football players.
If people got out and lived they wouldnât even watch football.
This is one Hail Mary that is NOT going to work.
Their idea of a harmonious world is one in which their sensibilities are never challenged by different ideas, people who look different from them and facts that donât conform to their web of belief. This is why there is such overlap between science denial, especially climate change contrarianism, and things like white nationalism. A live and let live, no skin off of my nose viewpoint, is practically impossible for conservative authoritarians because itâs my opinion that the mere existence of competing attitudes, beliefs and theories of the world destroys their âwaâ, their harmony.
