Who died and made you a team owner ?

Racist, lying, thin-skinned dickhead.

Just a typical working-vacation morning for a stable genius who’s totally in touch with reality.

No one, because he was denied team ownership back in the day. He has no standing within the NFL and is all but banned from any part of the league. The whole mess with him and the NFL is because he was told something he’s never been told before: no.

That might be part of it. I think he’s also found a pain free topic where he can beat people up without repercussions.

wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define

Gotta sneak a little dumb-black-guy racism in there, combined with the usual naked projection.

I’d love to see Donald explain what the Federalist Papers were. Not even a deep dive into any of the topics discussed, just what they were and what they were for.

Boy, he’s taking that “you’re fired” business a little too far, no?

Specifically, people who think non-whites are entitled to equal treatment.

The party of no government regulation, the free market cures all, government should not pick winners and losers, Constitutional textualism struts its stuff.

Oh, there’ll be repercussions. Jerry Jones might let Trump fire players, but no one else will.

His base will love this, but no one else will. Folks get involved in sports to get away from the every day. If Trump inserts himself in this, he does so at his peril, especially with midterms approaching. It’s bad enough we’ll all be inundated with campaign ads at every clock stoppage for half the season.

I do confess that I am relishing in the blowback to the NFL’s naked embrace and marketing-weaponization of malignant patriotism over the last decade or so.

And that’s not a “hurr durr sportsball” comment. Sports are great. But the NBA isn’t having this problem. MLB isn’t having this problem. The NHL isn’t having this problem. College sports aren’t having this problem. Why? They didn’t wrap themselves in the flag and then light themselves on fire.

I’m pretty sure this fat clown used his right to free speech to lie that President Obama was not born in the United States. Obama should have sued his fat ass for libel. But Obama was enough of a man, and a Constitutional scholar, to take it and move on. Not so with the turd currently in office.

That’s lovely. But since he’s not a fucking king, it strikes me that that isn’t his fucking job. His job description appears to be: being a fat, classless, tv addicted sack of monkey shit.
