    I fail to see why any of this matters, but FYI, Trump used to own a football team in the USFL.

    You said that he doesn't watch football.

    In truth, neither of us are truly in position to know that, but considering that he owned a USFL team, it seems sort of foolish to assume that he doesn't watch football. You aren't making your claim based on anything that you know, rather you are simply foaming at the mouth throwing ANYTHING at the wall to see if it sticks.

    they are not protesting police abuse by punching cops in the face, so your comparison makes no sense, no one would approve of that

    actually your comparison woudl be punching the black victims i the face, which makes even less sense

    kinda like calling black players SOB's for protesting police abuse, why bring their mothers into this?

    Based off of the Bull **** that comes out of his own mouth and through his own Tweets ... he don't know Jack-**** about Football. Face it, you're backing a moron ... even his own people call him that.

    Stock boom = anti-American
    Increase in consumer confidence = anti-American
    Job increases = anti-American
    Lower Unemployment rate = anti-American
    Lower illegal immigrant crossings = anti-American
    Reducing job killing regulations = anti-American

    I get the picture.

    I have an idea. How about you cut and paste whatever tweet that you think indicates that he doesn't know anything about the game of football or even watch it, and we can discuss ? This should be easy for you since you seem to have a particular tweet(s) in mind in order to draw your conclusion.

    Trump couldn't field a Team of Badminton Players ... and we know he'd never get any Black Players who could actually start on a Football Team.

    In other words.......you don't REALLY have any tweets that indicate that he doesn't watch football. You were simply baselessly foaming at the mouth....AGAIN.

    My Wife and I went on a (long) weekend cruise to Mexico a few months ago.

    We didn't watch any football whilst we were on that "foreign trip" either, even though there was a T.V. in our stateroom.

    You seem confused. AGAIN.

    I am the one that said that neither of us are in a position to know whether or not he watches football. YOU are the one who said that he does not. You are the one acting as if you know something about his personal life. With that being the backdrop, it is downright SILLY to now act as if the onus is on me to tell you which game he watched yesterday when I made no such claim.

    Do you ever back up any of your claims, or do you always try changing the subject when called on your B.S.?

    You can't say that, because you have absolutely no idea what the military thinks.

    Likewise, but I know what I think and the people I work with. So you can't say 'the military' supports trump. At the very least, many many of us don't.

    You got all wee wee'd up about 2 scoops of ice cream and now it's whether Trump watches football? You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all down.

    That's Funny ... but I don't picture Donald Trump as a Mans Man ... only a pretender and someone who talks out of both sides of his face.

    If NFL players really care about social justice, instead of pissing off fans and veterans, why don't they organize discussion groups within their communities and spend some of their millions to fund them? Why don't they try to educate the black community on the dangers of not cooperating with the police and not shoving the door of a police cruiser back into the face of a police officer, trying to take their gun away from them, or charging at them like the thug in Ferguson, Missouri did? I have a friend who is a minister and went through a police training course and said he fired once when he shouldn't have and din't fire twice when he should have. He said he had no idea how stressful it was to be a police officer and was going to educate his congregation on what he learned and the need to respect and cooperate with the police>

    What kind of a feeling do you get when you are asked to accept these two definitions of what can be shown to be the most prime constitutional intent?

    1) We have the right to alter or abolish government destructive to unalienable rights.

    2) If the framers intended for Americans to alter or abolish then they intended that the ultimate PURPOSE of free speech be to enable Americans to unify under law in order to alter or abolish government destructive to unalienable rights.

    Do you think this is "popular"? Do you want it to be?

    Don't know where you trying to go with this, and maybe it's just way over my head. So I can't answer that question.

    But the bottom line is, no one is going to determine my patriotism, I have that covered for myself. Therefore, if I stand, sit or kneel ... just like Hundreds of Thousands do at every single game around the country ... none of that means anything fto me. Because Patriotism is more personal at heart, than it is of public displays.
