Even if Murkowski is bribable, there is one thing she needs to remember… Trump NEVER keeps a promise or pays his debts.
And Munchkin has the right to shut the fuck up.
From Mhendo’s Trump link:
“Great solidarity for our National Anthem and for our Country. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings”
Holy fucking shit! Just when I think I have my head wrapped around how dumb that mother fucker Trump is!!

He does it just because he knows it upsets you.
It’s not stupidity. It’s narcissism. A narcissist can’t be wrong. Anytime it LOOKS like a majority of people think the narcissist is wrong, it really means that there’s a misunderstanding and the majority of people are actually firmly behind the narcissist.
How about any Trumpists who may actually buy that particular line of bullshit?

That’s my interpretation. “I may not agree with your opinion but I support your right to free speech” kind of deal.
I’ve been thinking that John Kelly could be at risk for CTE, what with all that forehead smacking. It’s an occupational hazard.
It’s a bit like choosing Agnosticism over Atheism.
RE: Respecting the flag:
I’ll never forget a conversation I had with my neighbor who was an Army captain home on leave after leading a company in the early flanking thrust through western Iraq in the first Gulf War.
I asked him if he was bothered by all the anti-war protests and specifically some people burning flags.
He is a fairly conservative guy and said that as an officer he had taken an oath to defend the freedoms of citizens of the USA. He went on to say that one freedom he would fight and die for was the right of his fellow Americans to freely express their opinions in a manner of their choosing.
He summed it up as, “In other words, that flag that I’m fighting for represents, among other things, the right to burn it if one so chooses.”
If only all military and right-wing folks had the same clarity of mind about the bigger picture.
Not dumb, just true to his narcissistic self, finding something to hang his hat on and claim victory.
ETA: Got ninja’d by jayjay - what he said.
I get that. And it’s still really fucking dumb. And the ratings, won’t someone think of the ratings? This is the President, and it’s fucking dumb.
There’s his morality center. Ratings trumps divisive racism issues. Notice how there weren’t very fine people on both sides this time.
Atheism may be the most rational choice, but agnosticism is the most reasonable. YMMV.
What ever happens, the atheists are the only group that are guaranteed to not be able to say: Toldja.
Well, I have to take back my words and apologize for misjudging. Not only did Jones support the players in kneeling, he joined them. Gave Trump the unmistakable finger in prime time, in the heart of deplorable land.
Okay, he was more eloquent than that…
I’m not sure exactly how Trump thinks he’s going to shame or coerce Mr. McCain. The guy has a political career that is massive, has POW creds, and is dying of brain cancer. Trump’s got no leverage on this guy; he has to know that, right?
You’re using the term, “thinks,” with a sense of charming irony, no?
Yet again, Trump supporters can be proud of their man in the White House, flailing to shame an actual war hero who has more guts and courage in his toenails than Trump can ever dream of. I don’t agree with McCain on much of anything, but I’d never disparage his commitment to his country or his bravery. Nothing stops Two Scoops, though. There’s no depth to which he will not stoop.
