Well, well, well! trump did it again didn't he?

He has everyone talking about football players and not what is important.

What about the Mueller investigation?
What about Kushner's emails?
What about Manafort?
What about NK?
What about Puerto Rico?
What about Houston?
I'm sure there are more what abouts I've missed, but this is why he attacked the football players.

[unblock]

1. even with the football players, we're talking about kneeling or disrespect or the first amendment

and no black people getting killed by the police, which was what the kneeling was trying to get us to talk about.

2. all reasons why he should resign today.

3. From the last day. Some within the last hour or two.

Kushner's Emails:

Much much more as well.

Then there is the talk about the NFL. Talk about oppression and protests. Talk about inequality and police brutality. This is a worthwhile conversation and you shouldn't dismiss it as a "distraction". That is what you just did.

4. #1 The football players issue is important and constructive.

#2 The issues you list are not going away.
#3 Trump's attack does not have a strategy behind it, he just attacks.

[shraby]

5. I agree, but what the football players represent is not what

trump is advocating. He attacks to divert attention, not to solve any problem.

I'm glad the other issues are being discussed too. It means his method is being ignored and the real problems are being put to the fore, including the football.
