Well, this protest thing IS getting out of hand. I watched a couple games today, and it seemed as though almost every time there was a kickoff, the receiving player would go down on one knee in the end zone. And as if this blatant disrespect wasn’t enough, the officials would let them bring the ball out to the 25-yard line and play from there. Outrageous!!! Something Must be Done.
Of course, given the ongoing and massive problems in Puerto Rico, the President is… off golfing. But not to worry! He still has time to post insulting tweets.
That is outrageous. They should have kept touchbacks at the twenty yard line.
holy shit!
They’ll like it here in America.
Knobs on the doors.
Wall-to-wall floors.
tRump dedicated a golf trophy to the folks in P.R. I’m sure they can find a way to melt it down and use it for generator fuel.
Then again, he thinks they’d be too lazy to make a “community effort” to do the actual melting.

I would very much like to be there to see the reaction when he announces that to a crowd of hungry, thirsty, homeless Puerto Rican citizens.
But that will the biggest, hungriest, thirstiest, homelessiest and Puerto Ricaniest crowd.
( not so much citizeniest, however… )
It’s even worse than that. I hear there are large groups of people who aren’t even confining their protests at sporting events. They’re gathering together every Sunday and they’re all getting down on their knees!
So, tell me the truth. Do you suppose I’m the only one wondering if Trump will go to a golf course when he gets to Puerto Rico?
Absolutely false. That’s penciled in for his Vegas trip.
Does he have a golf property in either place?
Any guesses on the likelihood of him plugging the Trump Hotel during his speech in Las Vegas. I’m thinking around 90%.
What? You didn’t think he was going to say something thoughtful and compassionate, did you?
Consider also that kneeling also occurs near the end of a game when the team with the ball has the lead and just wants to run out the clock. Viewed in that light, one might perceive going down on one knee as a posture of victory: “Look here, we have defeated you well and soundly and our leader is kneeling to mock your helplessness!”
Fuck me, he is the most disgusting man alive. I can’t listen to him talk so had the tee vee sound mostly turned down in my family room when he spoke this morning as I worked in my kitchen. I couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying but got the general gist. He acts like he’s the C list headliner lounge lizard comedy act at a down-at-the-heel casino in Reno, Nevada while “consoling” the residents of Puerto Rico. A total embarrassment.
It’s hard to believe in a just world when Tom Petty is dead at 66, and this idiot fool still walks the earth at 71. He is the antithesis of all that is good and decent.
Trump plumbs new lows with astounding regularity. PR should be proud because their death toll is lower than Katrina. They can hurricane better. Woot!
A shooting in Vegas gets a live statement from the President within hours. PR gets a golf trip and days of silence.
A president is supposed to help the country heal, not make things worse. Right?
WWJD? A facepalm.
If I lived in PR, I’d actually be feeling a little jealous of NOLA right now. The President told me my disaster just didn’t measure up!: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/politics/trump-puerto-rico-katrina-deaths/index.html
