There’s no wound this hideously ugly man won’t pick at to fulfill his narcissism and to fill the gaping hole where his compassion and dignity should reside.

Thing that didn’t make football fans stop watching football:

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy was found in 99% of deceased NFL players’ donated for scientific research. (Along with about 77% of the brains of ex-players who didn’t make it to the NFL).

Thing that did make football fans stop watching football:

Some black players decided they had a moral obligation to bring attention to racial inequality and police brutality by taking a position of reverent protest rather than standing during the playing of the national anthem.

Fuck football.

But our President stands for AMERICA,

except when he dodges the draft because of bone spurs,

the FLAG,

I wonder if the flag will be carried horizontally in breach of the Flag Code at some time during the Super Bowl.

and our HEROIC veterans.

except when he proposes budget cuts to VA benefits.

Dear Mr. President:

I want to thank you. These kinds of messages have inspired many voters to understand what their patriotic duty is.

Thanks for the reminder, Bone Spurs. I’ll be taking a knee since the players can’t.

ETA: Done. No disrespect to the flag, the anthem, the USA, soldiers, Pink or anyone else not named Trump.

I am an American Indian and all the American symbols do not represent to me what they represent to the non-Indians of this country. I don’t celebrate July 4th because it does not represent independence to my people, my ancestors. I also wouldn’t mind an opportunity to tell trump to get his fat, ugly ass off my land.

“He’s that guy at work that you used to ignore, you know?” he says of the president. “It’s like, ‘Oh, God, he’s at it again. Just leave him alone. Ignore him.’ And then he’s all upset he wasn’t invited to the party. ‘No, you’re an ass. You don’t get invited to the party. I’m sorry.’”
