It’s a regrettably low bar that they’re clearing, although clearing it they are.

At 4:25 this morning Ubum Dotard tweeted “So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won’t put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag - they said it loud and clear!”

Less than 30 minutes later, at 4:54, Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted “All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests. ‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’ — JFK”

Anybody want to bet the Sissy-in-Chief won’t attack Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

The NBA kicked Donald Sterling out and the country made his twin president – of course they’re pissed.

Pretty good. But to be fair, most of these guys are in pretty good shape. Its isometrics or something.

I thought it was their religious use of various Suzanne Somers-endorsed devices, specifically the ThighMaster LBX (ButtMaster).

I think the president should insist that the NBA be fired…

You’re right, but I think my acronym is more a reflection on the NASCAR fan-base than the NASCAR driver’s.

Wait till Donnie finds out all the best basketball players have very long fingers that let them play well both on and off the court. He’ll be green-orange with envy.

If you want to talk about actual disrespect to the American flag and to American veterans, how about those NASCAR fans who insist on flying the traitors’ flag? NASCAR itself, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. personally, have taken a more enlightened position, but the fans will be fans and continue to display the flag of racism and treason at their get-togethers.

Channeling Donald Trump: “they’re good people.”

Psst Donald. Remember when you had that revelation last week that people F-in hate you? After your speeches at the UN, your rally and twitter rampages last week… You have outdone yourself. People now exponentially f-ing hate you.
