Video surfaced today of Trump disrespecting the National Anthem at his Super Bowl party.

I fully expect his supporters to admit it doesn’t matter.

I hate nationalism, I will be quiet out of respect for others but I hate the whole concept of the national anthem being played at sporting events. It seems like something North Korea would subject their citizens to. I also have no problem with people who burn the American flag.

Yeah, but it is the President of the USA. At least his foreign born wife knew how to act. And his son Barron.

Heck, I'm still not totally convinced the guy acts autonomously. Off camera, he may have republican minders to keep him from going completely off the rails.

UNFIT!
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If she can't tell time at age 23, she's an idiot.

No, she was never taught it in
school and has always got
the time from all the digital
devices we have. It is puzzling
because you see dial face clocks
everywhere. There's one in the PO,
in my store, in my doctors office.
In Walmart they have a hundred
watches to choose from and 98%
are clock face. It's not like they've
disappeared.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

When I was a kid they taught how to read an analog clock in the Catholic school but not in the public. Kids up the road didn't know how to tell time even in like 4th or 5th grade. But that is not at age 23. As to not taking the phone off the base I do not buy that as many phones require that in an office, etc.

Try to imagine how much we care.

Did he kneel or something?

Was he at the game where it was being played or was it just on TV in the background?

Get a life.

Trump isn’t black, so his more racist supporters don’t care if he disrespects the flag. That was always just an excuse for them to be able to attack Kaepernick.

Oh I know you don't care. Which is why you belong in the biggest group of hypocrites ever assembled, the GOP of 2020.

See, THIS, is not disrespecting the flag or national anthem.



THIS...this is disrespecting the flag and anthem.



At least NFL players were peacefully protesting a cause they believe in. The POTUS was just acting like a child.
