Danny Bateman Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't believe he has made mention of the church shooting in Tennessee either. Link to comment

zoogs Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Trump, Pence, etc. -- for that matter, Obama, Bush, Clinton, and a long line of American politicians -- have made the astute observation that football is a deployable instrument of the state. Their efforts at fascism will return again and again to this. And don't look the NFL for salvation. They're in on this just as much, and not up to the task. "Football brings us together" is a common refrain. The subtext is "put aside petty partisan differences like are brown people people and focus on the game." Passage from 1984: ...petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult... If we can all agree to "come together" and focus on those kinds of common threads then we subjugate our wills entirely. Hopefully we'll always have a waking, conscious public that cares about who we are and what we do. You know, the kind that would never suffer a man like Trump in the presidency and is led by politicians who would legally remove him in an instant for the kinds of transgressions he's been committing for the entire time he's been in office. 1 Link to comment

Yes I know - they are citizens who don't have the right to vote and are all the things I mentioned above which (I honestly feel ) makes a difference on what he acknowledges or does. These people can not ever help him so they are low on his list. He isn't looking to build a resort there, so no reason to help. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It's pretty disgusting when someone (especially the President) uses a dead hero to further his political propaganda. 1 Link to comment

NM11046 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Trying to figure out the "Yes vote that is in the hospital" and most think he's referring to Scalise ... who is Congressman, not in the Senate. Link to comment
