Just thinking that if the right would have just ignored Kaepernick

on his first protest the whole thing probably would have fizzled.

But no - these assholes have to control every aspect of our lives to THEIR satisfaction.
They can't stand someone having an unapproved opinion. They simply must crush it by any means necessary - by force, by taking away their vote, by crushing their union, by cutting their wages.

So now the head dumb ass has blown simple, quiet and very peaceful gesture into a war with football. Way to go dumbfuck.

He can almost always be relied upon to do exactly the wrong thing and to bad situations worse.

ready to call this another unforced error on Trump's part, but then I realized that as far as his relationship with his base is concerned it probably wasn't an error.

Like cats can't resist a dangling string, the poor widdle snowflakes feel compelled to explode in outrage over minor things that don't affect them.

Of course, they ignore the real outrages like the thousands who die from preventable medical issues and the millions are understandably scared to pieces of being pulled over for driving with a skin tone not to some rogue cop's liking.

Name one person - just one person - in this country whose life was changed in the slightest by their latest target of outrage. Compare that to the number of people adversely affected by the things that I find outrageous.

I want stupid loudmouths out of my life and I don't hesitate to say so.

People don't generally defend their authoritarian ways around me twice.

The absolute worst thing you can do to a republican is not pay attention to them. Then they go fucking apeshit and will attack everyone and everything that's not paying attention to them 100%. It's how Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh got started. They have a real inferiority complex.
