RED DAWN where NFL players fight Republican Spetsnaz would be absolute peak 1980s.

Of course, some of Trump's most ardent, racist, despicable alt-right supporters are eating this shit up.

Perhaps they are staying in the locker room to partake in a little pussy-grabbing talk? I mean - it's all cool -right?

Deport them? Deport them where? That doesn't even make sense. Not that I'm the least bit surprised.

a) Perhaps it's meant as humour? It's funny, if so.
b) Deport does not mean "kick out people we don't like".
c) This guy has never watched an NFL game in his life.

You know I never could have imagined a scenario in which I was on the side of the gdang Philadelphia fn Iggles. ESPECIALLY after they win the only super bowl they're ever going to win... But I am. I'm disgusted with myself, of course, but sometimes a man's gotta do what's right.

But I'm not signing that shit song. There are still some lines that cannot be crossed.

Hopefully the party is a flop and the president is well and truly embarrassed. Or at least made to feel disrespected.
Fly Eagles Fly!

I have lived in Philadelphia for 17 years, but as a polite Southerner I have always had some misgivings about the city's style.

No longer. I've never been more proud to be a Philly guy. Fuck this White House.
Seriously!

And - what a remarkably WRONG position for that WH memo to proclaim.
"They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the...."

W hat
T he
F uck

Clearly this administration stand for NOTHING if not TOTAL ALLEGIANCE. It blatant and should be terrifying to everyone. Could you imagine a White House ever saying the words "They disagree with their Presidenct" as a prelude TO ANY THING.

WHAT THE FUCK!

Holy shit. Totally. Can you even imagine if Obama even jokingly said *anything* like this? The nut jobs would be getting ready for the apocalypse. We are literally seeing a major shift happening and Congress is just yawning in the corner. We are so very fucked.

The day after the party if there is low turnout:

Sanders: We're pleased to announce that yesterday's Freedom Rally and Eagles fan appreciation day was attended by more people than actually exist at this current time on the planet. In addition, mythological characters like Zeus, Hercules, and Tony Robbins were spotted in the crowd wearing MAGA hats. We'd like to now release this untouched photo of Trump hovering 4 feet above the ground while holding a small elephant over his head during the rally. Also, the corrupt media is lying if they try to say that Melania Trump attempted to scale the walls of the White House lawn and was chased by dogs before being captured and dragged back. The photos they say they have are obviously faked, as can be proven by the simple fact that she is smiling in one of them after seeing the pool boy in a getaway car outside the main gate.

The Big Top opens at 10:00am, and the barkers are usually on a break from 2:00 to 4:00, expecting more marks to wander in after they get out of work around 5:00. You should be safe for 3:00.

It'll be after the 40' "Trump House" signage is erected atop the White House.

What's the over/under on his respectful ceremony of honor is chalked full of Trump is our God kitsch both proudly worn and for sale at Trump is our God stands around the area and that he gives a speech about himself?

The NFL should so be ashamed of itself for fining teams that allow players to kneel when they are being bullied by POStus.

Every street corner vendor in DC is chock full of MAGA hats and "Trump is MY President" t-shirts.

What makes this worse is no Eagle players took a knee last year. There was one exception during the preseason, but that guy was cut.

I love it. In the sense that it shows the NFL what happens when you try to appease a bully. Now try and backtrack or become more punitive to players. Either one and they keep digging their grave. Idiots. Hopefully it'll give other leagues pause.

Wrong! FOX has photos.

Reporting on Trump’s cancelation of the Eagles’ visit, Fox News showed images of Eagles players kneeling. The idea you’re supposed to get is that they were kneeling during the anthem. But these were photos of Eagles players praying before games.

Eagles players were kneeling and that's all the information you need to know!

Now go out there and root out illegals, citizen!

That was my instinctual response. I even went to the Trump Twitter archive to for the first time ever to lord it over him via an anonymous message board with not bearing on his life. There was not a tweet for every thing. Trump has never referred to snowflakes on Twitter. I am shames. I will just have to use this a shield against all of his language control surrogates.

The whole "FOX is too incompetent to get the story right" is fun, but I don't think it's accurate. They are intentionally trying to sway opinion and influence policy. The fact that they have been overwhelmingly successful attests to their competence. Have to go with malice.

It's not like the majority of their watchers will start switching channels to CNBC due to this unfortunate "error". I think they know their viewing audience and if there are some "unfortunate" inaccuracies that happen to attract viewers/clicks on their website, it's mea culpa (all the way to the next earnings report)

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Tue Jun 05, 2018 5:27 pm

I no longer give Fox benefit of the doubt. They present and cherry-pick and strategically edit a lot of inaccuracies that somehow always seem to favor their ideological line (and that's only their straight news department, not their vile punditry).

I'm going to assume malice.
