Why would he walk out of a Colts game because of something the visiting team does?

He's socking it to Lucas Oil.

Seriously, if anyone in the NFL is disgracing the flag - along with everything else - it's the Giants.  They are stinking up the whole state of New Jersey and that's a pretty high bar.

Pain avoidance.

I think we can only assume at this point from the leaks and the rumors, but until it's all over and it all comes out, I don't think anybody truly knows exactly how much of an insane asylum the White House must be when he's got his rage on.

My guess is Pence just wanted an excuse to swing by Georgio's a few blocks north of the stadium.

The Minsky Moment

With all the pressing and huge problems facing the US, the president chooses to focus on fixing the urgent problem of people kneeling during the national anthem?  Aren't there issues of slightly bigger concern, like mass murderers shooting random concert goers?

See even a guy ruled by authoritarian dictators isn't cynical enough to figure it out.

Donald Trump is addressing the most pressing and huge problem he knows about - his lousy popularity numbers and his wavering base. 

Dead people in Vegas don't bother him.  His knee jerk instinct is to think it's good for Atlantic City, until someone reminds him all his casinos went bankrupt.

We can all get behind bashing the coloreds, right?


I wonder if he realizes, in all his anti-Latino hate, that his lack of action with Puerto Rico is going to result in the largest influx of Hispanic peoples of his administration when they flee the island with the delicious irony that he won't be able to deport a single one of them.

As if trivialities like citizenship status and laws meant anything to Mr. Travel Ban.

In other important news, the Trump wives (current and ex) fighting over who is the real first lady. :D :cry:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Ivanka is too stupid to understand what the first in First Lady means.  :lol:

Wrong one.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That's ok. Fucking up the world with an ill-advised conflict worked wonders for Bush, I am sure Trump will manage to replicate that.
