a) CNN going apeshit

Trump violates the Constitution. Kid shrugs and complains that CNN is upset.

b) Tax payer dollars spent on that teargas.

Chemical warfare against US citizens. "It's not banned in this country!" says Kid.

c) If you are told to move and choose not to - all bets are off tonight

Or any other night. Or if you weren't told to move, but you stood in the wrong place. Or you were in your own home.

You're ignoring everything about why this protests are happening and how too many "good" cops have responded.

Trump calls out the Army so he can clear out peaceful protestors so he can secure a church as a background for a Team Trump photo.


CNN going apeshit

Nigger forgot to duck

Isn’t that contrary to the 1st Amendment right to assemble, Ja?

No

You can assemble over there.

Strong, steady governing is singularly missing from the White House.


Trump has been consistent - and quite strong in his conviction.

No, he really hasn't.

And what he's doing now is a lot of things, but it is not governing - I said nothing about his convictions, past or future, for all that I look forward to his future convictions.

The dreamers, China tariffs, a Group of Seven communique, budgets, stopgap funding measures, plans for Afghanistan, deporting immigrants, health plans, the Iran deal, NATO, and so many more things it boggles the mind.

But this is the same guy who swears he never settles lawsuits out of court.

Kid: led by the nose.

The voice ..... seems so familiar... can't quite place it

Your conscience?   No,  it wouldn't seem familiar...

Check yourself ,Bud.

I didn’t edit two words out of a quick cut and paste and you’ve spent the whole day twisting yourself into a pretzel because you can’t admit you called me on a mistake and I copped to it.

Everything else is bullshit and you know it.

I made a mistake by posting a cut and paste pull quote from an article illustrated by the subject of said quote.

Everyone with an inkling of the subject knows Kaepernick has been out of the league for three years but yeah, I tried to ‘pull a fast one’ by captioning the post in past tense just to be misleading.


BTW


Michael Sam should have taken the Oprah money.

“I don’t think there is systemic racism. I think 99.9 percent of our law enforcement officers are great Americans,” said (National Security Advisor) Robert O’Brien.   “But … there’s a few bad apples.”

Chief Darryl Gates in November 1982, “We may be finding that in some blacks when it [the hold] is applied, the veins and arteries do not open as fast as they do in normal people.”

Worried for Omaha....

Quote
A Nebraska bar owner won’t be charged for the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man during protests in Omaha, officials have announced.

The shooting occurred around 11pm on Saturday, and police arrested a bar owner, Jake Gardner, soon after he killed a protester, James Scurlock, the AP reported. But Douglas county attorney Don Kleine said today that Gardner fired the fatal shot during a scuffle with protesters outside one of his bars, claiming he “feared for his life” and it was self defense.

The killing and the decision not to charge has sparked further outrage. The victim was black, and the bar owner is white.

I fear gas just got poured on the fire there.

We’re not a state so we have no governor to tell him to go screw. So we now have 82 Airborne.

This shit is getting thick. He’s turned the US Capital into an occupation zone.

Michael Sam should have taken the Oprah money.

I never said you edited anything.

What you did, when I challenged your post as potentially misleading, was admit your data posted as "current" was actually from 2016.

It portrayed a misleading narrative.

And all I did was call you out on it.

And you got defensive and then accused me of challenging you because of racism.

Which as we both know is bullshit.

Seems you choked on the pretzel of pride rather than simply admit your mistake.

Get over it.

I am.

Speaking of getting over it

If Sam wanted to achieve his dream of being a pro football player and having a pro career he should have thanked Oprah for her interest but turn her down and try out for the team like everyone else. No special camera crews and reporters interfering with the team or others players as they tried to make the Rams as they prepared for the season. He took some very bad advice, which he finally understood upon some reflection.

Its unfortunate that you remain short-sighted as to what's really important.

pleasure as always trying to set you straight my black brother.

Trump used Bible without permission.

Everything trump does tends to be non-consensual. That’s why he never wins any lawsuits.

It has proven both a terrible way to govern and to raise children.

No amount of surgery or whore house trade marks will ever cover up Ivanka’s scars.
