Winning? SAD!

So far this week...

Trump has suggested - you know, that lover and defender of the US Constitution - that any NFL player who kneels during the national anthem "shouldn't be in the country."

Has lost a federal appeal and may not block Twitter users from his feed because, as most all of us know, it's a public site. Still holding sacred that 1st Amendment.

Has suggested that the Democrats are "sticking up for" MS-13, apparently the only gang to have ever existed. Because what he cannot and will not understand is that while we all want to eradicate gangs, referring to them as less than human not only precludes looking for a rational long-term solution but also alienates the very community whose help he needs in doing this.


...and has gone from threatening to "decimate" Lil' Rocket Man" to the incredibly vacillatory "We'll see what happens. Right now we're looking at it, we're talking about it. And they're talking to us. We have certain conditions. We'll see what happens. But there's a good chance." All while heading right back into stand-off mode.

No major debate point here. Simply utter astonishment that not only have we elected an unprecedentedly incompetent man for the nation's highest office, there are actually citizens who applaud his idiocy and condone his behavior.

@MarineBob Did I mention the 2nd Amendment? I believe in the 2nd Amendment very strongly, but I believe it can be regulated just like any other law or right.

@MarineBob The Second Amendment has limits. Read Scalia's majority opinion in the Heller v. DC decision to see what the Supreme Court has decided those limits are. You may be surprised.

@windinhishair he has no interest in it. He and his ilk clearly have little use for the first amendment except when it suits them. Hell, the 2nd amendment is the most “preserved” of all of them. The 4th is basically eviscerated.
So Trump has the right to 'disrespect' the 1st amendment of the Constitution that he put his hand on the bible and swore to defend as the POTUS ? The guy that's going to 'Make America Great Again' and you don't have a problem with that ? The players weren't disrespecting the flag they were protesting the false patriot, racist, POTUS, that wraps himself in it and Proved himself to be in front of the entire country. @MarineBob
He is the 'Commander in Chief' and he openly, on the National News, degraded and insulted a wounded VET, all captured wounded VETS for that matter, and you laid Your life on the line, Simpa Fi, to defend someone like HIM ? @MarineBob
