My disapproval of a spoiled millionaire, disrespecting all the men & women who sacrificed so he has the right to concoct a so called protest, isn't even comparable to the everybody gets a trophy let me run to my safe space crowd crying you mentioned. That's funny
That’s fair, and I personally detest him since he made light of Fidel Castro (I’m Cuban and my family fled from his regime), but I still buy Nike and watch the NFL because literally who cares

People who boycott Nike or the NFL over that man have... some personal problems to sort out

I still watch the NFL as well but he boycotted standing for the national anthem, if someone wants to boycott Nike or the NFL because of it, it's their right. It doesn't mean they have personal problems.

I remember when the Dixie Chicks bashed GWB at a concert, they were booed and record sales plummeted. The Dixie Chicks complained about how they were treated and disappointed people stopped buying their albums. A reporter asked Bush about it and he stated they had a right to say what they did about him but "the Dixie Chicks have to realize, freedom of speech is a two way street." He wasn't wrong

If they boycott the NFL over THAT. Over everything else the NFL has been guilty of doing. Yeah, they have some personal stuff to work out.

Colin was well within his right to kneel. It’s his first amendment right to do so. You may misinterpret it as disrespect, but his statement was against police brutality and the system that protects it. Men and women sacrificed themselves for his right to kneel, not to force him to stand. True heroism doesn’t demand praise, it doesn’t demand anything at all. Would I kneel? No, and I have my personal reasons not to. But I fully support those that do, because I get it. To love your country is to know it’s flaws, not just be blind to them.

So to those that think Colin was protesting “the wrong way” and would be willing to sit out a sport just because of a dude trying to make a statement, yeah... there’s something wrong lol

I still buy them but no personal problems here. I think Colin is pure garbage. I can think of many other ways to protest. Of course all the police brutality was during Obama era. Seems to sure have been a lot less since he left office.
 
Just look at the way the "deep-state" and the blue-media have treated him..... can you blame him for being skeptical of Dems?.... No.
Do forget to mention those other boogeymen the far right is so afraid of... George Soros, Freemasons, the Bilderberg Group, and the New World Order. Did I miss anyone?
 
Trump has been LOCK STEP with Dr. Fauci from Day 1 yet Dr. Fauci is a rock star and Trump didnt act quick enough. Its amazing that people just cant admit that the entire team including Trump has done a great job. Im not comparing fruit here. Im simply pointing out great leadership. I dont know a thing about weather and not much about viruses but I know a hell of a lot about LEADERSHIP having served under and learned from some of the best. We all have our strengths here. This is one of mine
 

Dr Fauci downplayed the virus in late January along with the CDC saying it was if minimal risk to Americans. Sseeing as how he is the top advisor on this, was the man who has been in this position for a very long time an idiot? It doesnt really need a caption or a link just a simple yay or nay?

Its well within his right to kneel. As a man, a soldier who would die for that flag I chose to turn the TV off. I watch the superbowl and that's it. Of course that's all I got to watch while I was overseas too so don't really miss the NFL. As far as heroism goes? You are correct it doesn't demand praise but taking a knee during a game in the United States of America to make a statement about oppression? I think he got the wrong country and the wrong flag.

Apparently you're not going to get an answer to this....

Sometimes there are actually consequences to actions; he's not willingly without a team..

Dr Fauci said we needed to take it seriously and prepare for it even though at the time it was low risk...something Trump chose to not do, instead Trump downplayed it A LOT.....wasted a entire month and a half.....


"It's a very, very low risk to the United States, but it's something that we as public health officials need to take very seriously," Fauci added to host John Catsimatidis, per The Hill.

A NIAID vaccine for the coronavirus would be about three months away from being ready to test on humans, according to Fauci.

"We've just got to make sure that we are totally prepared," Fauci said, per the report. "Infectious diseases will continue to emerge on the human species. And we've got to be essentially perpetually prepared."

Of course not because the TDS crew knows the truth. Its no disrespect to Dr. Fauci at all, it just goes to show that this was a difficult thing to nail down and that Trump was as prepared as the people advising us on such things. I mean this isn't Dr. Fauci's first rodeo. He has praised Trump's response the entire time which isn't that difficult to do unless they have an ego bigger than the man they accuse of having an ego......

You guys can polish this turd all you want, Trump will own that month and a half of downplaying statements and delays in doing what needed to be done, it wont be Dr Fauci who is the scapegoat.....this will fall on the exact person it should and that is Trump.....

Except we actually did prepare for it which is why Dr. Fauci has praised the presidents response the entire time

“The president has listened to what I have said and to what the other people on the task force have said, when I have made recommendations he has taken them, he’s never countered or overridden me, the idea of just pitting one against the other is just not helpful,” Fauci stated. “I wish that would stop and we’d look ahead at the challenge we have to pull together to get over this thing.”

The only thing that is going to fall on trump is praise for doing a hell of a job! And you know it you just cant admit it
