POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

Personally, I was sitting in my easy chair in my family room munching on a cold slice of pizza when they played the anthem before the game today.

Not a lot of civil disobedience in that either, I guess. :)
 
Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

Something just occurred to me....

Since when did kneeling become a sign of disrespect? People kneel before deities, monarchs, graves, significant others to propose, Zod, etc....why is it disrespectful to do it in the presence of a flag?

Anything short of a full on erection for the flag makes you a commie.

Name 'em, Mr "Both sides are equally bad"

You're always saying this, you and drew, and yet, you never go into any details about what those methods might be. .

Well, according to some, I am just another dumb white privilege guy who has no idea. :rolleyes:

Neighborhood watchgroups, ACLU, outreach programs to help bridge the gap between police and the neighborhoods they patrol. Do I have specific names of those groups? No. Why? I don't live in a neighborhood that has one. Heck, Big Brother program to help steer kids away from street life.
 
I never cease to be amazed at just how frelling stupid can this administration be


see above

This doesn't surprise me in one bit.

I seen more political commentators noting that the Republican Party, especially Trump and Co., have been great about getting ahead of things they're doing wrong and loudly blame the opposition for being involved with instead.

Hillary was in cahoots with Russia!
Hillary used personal email!
Hillary is in bed with Wall Street!
Hillary has conflict of interests!
Hillary is putting our servicemen and women in harm's way!
Hillary doesn't have the stamina to be President!


Every.

Fu**ing.

Thing.

Trump and Co. have done Business Marketing 202 level work by getting well ahead of the news and spinning it before anyone else can use it against Trump.

That's not protesting. And why the fark would they work with the cops who are the ones killing them?

What's the way you want them to protest? Because violence is out. kneeling is out. So what would you have them do to show their displeasure in a way that makes a point and garners attention for the issue?

I got a great way for the gab between the people the cops kill needlessly and the cops to be bridged. Quit killing people needlessly. JFC it really is that simple. When people no longer feel like the cops kill them because of the color of the skin, well what do you know, suddenly you'll see an actual partnership between the citizens and the cops who are privileged to serve them.

On the flipside, start snitching. Give the cops the info they need to prosecute the criminals. It's a two way street, and no one is budging. Drives me nuts.

Neighborhood watchgroups have always put me on edge. If the police are doing such a good job, why do we need them? We just purchased a townhouse and the day we were moving in, the chair of our neighborhood watch group came over to see us while we were unloading our truck. He was wearing a stars and bars hat. I'm sure the black family that lives next door to us feels comforted that he's got their best interests at heart.

Well, you can go kindly do bad things to yourself. There have been MORE than a few shootings in Mpls/StPaul and you see the words "no information coming forward," and "witnesses are not cooperating," or "no witnesses are coming forward." Why? Snitches get stitches/snitches are b*es.

So it works both ways. Period.
 
Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

Top Right News? I can't imagine them having any sort of bias. :rolleyes:

I have no idea the source. Does it really matter? The guy speaks the truth. Take responsibility. If a description comes in: "African-American male, 20-30, short hair, etc" and that's all they have to go on? Snitch that guy. Narrow it down. I would bet dollars to donuts harassment would lessen if people would cooperate with the police.

NOTE: this does NOT excuse the crooked cops, not one bit. Don't even start that with me. Crooked cops, who are still in the MINORITY, deserve all that they get.

Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

I could literally post these all night. The amount of vets who are behind the NFL on this just proves that the only ones truly upset about it are the war hawks who were too chicken{bleep} to ever actually serve. The Vets seem to get it across all generations and demographics...

Also it shows that the meme of "it does nothing and is rather pointless is completely false. This thing is spreading and the more players (and sports) that do it the more it is going to shine a big ole light on what is really going on in this country.

(it is funny that at least half of those upset on twitter are women with selfie pictures that are so very obviously spam)

I implore you all to go to twitter and check out the #takeaknee or #vetskaepernick or the various other hashtags. It honestly restores my faith in the average citizen. (well say 7 out of 10 of them)

Excellent stuff Handy. Thanks for posting all that.

What Slap said. Thanks.

I particularly like the comment by the soldier who said he fights FOR the right to take a knee, not against it.
