about "the troops"! The Sports protests around the nation has absolutely nothing to do with the troops or 1st responders it is about the way that blacks are being treated by our criminal justice system. Cops, Courts, our society in general.
Trump and the GOP has divided this country more than anyone I can remember. The GOP started it after Obama was elected and it makes me ashamed to be Anglo in this country. It appears that we have flushed the toilet and are circling around the drain. Wake Up!
