"Spoiled Attention Seeker" Colin Kaepernick Pledges $1 Million to Charity as Anthem Protest Spreads

So much for C.K. being afraid of all those negative consequences and sponsorship losses. I'm sure Dr. Dre will distance Beats Audio away from this "spoiled, attention-seeking loser" (the response from several regular DU posters -- be proud and own it) as soon as he gets the news.

"San Francisco 49ers star Colin Kaepernick is putting his money where his mouth is — pledging to donate $1 million to community organizations Thursday.

Kaepernick's anthem protest spread as the quarterback was joined by teammate Eric Reid in taking a knee before their preseason game against the Chargers. Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane also sat during the national anthem before his team's preseason game against the Raiders Thursday."

So Hillarians are now "Gaslighting" Bernie Supporters!

Calling them "insane" and "delusional" for pointing out the lies and deceptions ("chair throwing", anyone?) directed against them.

Let's be clear about this: Team Clinton is full of manipulators and is now using the tactics of emotional abuse.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception and sanity.[1][2] Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

On edit:

Example two: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512027540

There are more -- this is a planned tactic of mental abuse.

BFFs Hillary and Trump are both betting

the public doesn't care about honesty or integrity. The only difference is that Trump says things directly and Hillary uses her mouthpiece David Brock.

They're laughing at you.


...and their 1% offspring are laughing at you too.

Hillary Fanatic W. Pierce Tried to FORCE his way into woman's room

in order to assault her because she is a Bernie Sanders supporter, and then he tried to blame his victim! Stay classy, Hillarians!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/16/woman-told-police-wendell-pierce-tried-to-enter-her-hotel-room.html

"The woman told police that “she and her two friends were sitting in the hallway on the 23rd floor when Mr. Pierce and his girlfriend exited the elevator. Both groups of parties began a conversation about politics which got Mr. Pierce upset.”
(...) The 52-year-old actor then “began to push her and at this point her and her friends began to walk to their room,” the police officer reported, after interviewing the alleged victim. She claimed that Pierce then “followed them to their room and stuck his arm in the door and tried to enter the room,” before she and “her friends tried to push Mr. Pierce out when he began to hit her in the head and grab her hoodie, ripping the hood off.” (...)

According to the police report, Pierce told cops that, while he followed them to their room, he was the one grabbed by the accuser and two friends, and that they “attempted to pull him in[to the room as] he was trying to get away.”

Was she asking for it? Was she asking nice?

Will Philly '16 = Chicago '68?

Remember, the GOP won that election because the Democrats nominated a corporate, pro-war candidate. Hillary has already started using armed police to enforce the status quo, so don't expect things to grow more civil.

Hillarians: Chalk on a wall is a crime, hitting women who support Bernie is completely excusable!

I'll take Cognitive Dissonance and Unbridled Hubris for a thousand, Alex.

Military Times survey: Troops prefer Trump to Clinton by a huge margin

Military Times survey: Troops prefer Trump to Clinton by a huge margin

http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/election/2016/05/09/military-times-survey-donald-trump-beats-hillary-clinton/84132402/

"In a new survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump emerged as active-duty service members' preference to become the next U.S. president, topping Hillary Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin. However, in the latest Military Times election survey, more than one in five troops said they’d rather not vote in November if they have to choose between just those two candidates.

But given only those choices, 21 percent of the service members surveyed said they would abstain from voting.More than 54 percent of the 951 troops Military Times surveyed said they would vote for Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, over Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. Only about 25 percent said they would vote for Clinton in that matchup."

More Clinton Corruption: Quid Pro Quo State Dept. Job for Campaign Fundraiser

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/04/13/hil-hired-ex-fundraiser-at-state-dept.html

"Once she was made Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton named Declan Kelly, one of her former fundraisers, as a special economic envoy to Northern Ireland, giving him to a status “outside normal diplomatic channels,” Politico reports. While working for the State Department, Kelly, who drew no salary, reportedly was prepareding to launch his global consulting business, Teneo Holdings, which went on to employ Huma Abedin, Bill Clinton, and others. “It shows how one enterprising fundraiser was able to insinuate himself into Clinton’s inner circle and then built a 500-person, multinational consulting firm whose value, at least at first, was greatly enhanced by its founders’ closeness to the Clintons,” writes reporter Rachael Bade. Kelly met Doug Band, with whom he co-founded Teneo, while volunteering for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. According to Politico, Band is often referred to as Bill Clinton’s surrogate son. A former employee told Bade: “They used the Clinton connection to launch it. The pitch was: ‘Yes, we’ll be just as good as anybody else at doing the substantive work that you need a consulting firm to do for you—but we’re going to bring all these relationships to the table at the same time.”
