Davkaus Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Good to see the president take a break from his busy golf weekend to lay in to the Mayor of puerto rico, while tens of thousands are still at risk with no food or water. They're lazy layabouts who want everything done for them. If they want Trump's sympathy, they should probably have tried being born white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his reaction to the above plea, what kind of world leader does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's hardly Trump's fault that Puerto Ricans look a bit like Mexicans. Give the guy a break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's actually baffling how it gets worse literally every week. Just when you think he has hit rock bottom as a president and as a human being he manages to find an even lower bottom. And the worst of it is there's a good 20-30% of the country who never bat an eyelid at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It'll be newsworthy when Trump doesn't do something word removedish In the meantime we should just assume that a bad human being will do and say stupid/heartless/borderline racist things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Well isn't this nice? Quote High School Students Kicked Off Football Team After Protesting National Anthem By JACEY FORTINOCT. 2, 2017 Photo Cedric Ingram-Lewis, left, and Larry McCullough were kicked off their football team on Friday after they demonstrated during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality. CreditCedric Ingram-Lewis Two high school students in Texas were kicked off their football team on Friday night after they demonstrated during the national anthem to protest racial inequality. One student, Cedric Ingram-Lewis, 16, raised a fist in the air while the anthem played. The other, Larry McCullough, 18, got down on one knee. In response, their coach told them to hand over their uniforms, The Houston Chronicle reported. “We had to get our message across: End racial injustice and the oppression of black people,” Mr. Ingram-Lewis said in a phone interview on Sunday. The coach, Ronnie Mitchem, is the pastor at Victory and Praise Worship Center in Crosby, Tex., and a Marine Corps veteran. In a phone interview on Sunday, he said the teenagers’ demonstration was offensive to people who served in the military. “I’ve been very patriotic my whole life,” he said. “I believe everybody has a right to protest, and I let those guys do their protests. But the rule was, if you did this protest, you wouldn’t be on the team.” The two teenagers, who are cousins, decided to demonstrate even though Mr. Mitchem had warned players the day before against protesting, Mr. Ingram-Lewis said. After the anthem, Mr. Mitchem told them to return their uniforms, which they did. Last year, the N.F.L. quarterback Colin Kaepernick was playing for the San Francisco 49ers when he began kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality, attracting national attention. He is now a free agent. At a political rally in Alabama on Sept. 22, President Trump denounced professional athletes who did not stand during the playing of the anthem. He added that they should be fired and that any team owner who followed his advice would become “the most popular person in the country” for a week. Follow Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL,or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect.... Follow Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump ...our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do! His comments are part of what prompted widespread demonstrations on Sept. 24, when scores of N.F.L. players knelt, raised a fist or locked arms during the anthem to protest racial inequality, setting off fierce national debates. Last week, several high schools stepped into the fray by warning students not to kneel during the anthem at sports events, with some threatening disciplinary action. View image on Twitter Follow Shaun King ✔@ShaunKing And it has begun. High schools are now following Trump’s order. Will kick off any players who don’t stand during the National Anthem. Still, some students were reported kneeling during the anthem in towns across the country, from Vancouver, Wash., to New Brunswick, N.J., to Austin, Tex. In contrast, one team in Fannin County, Ga., had its players carry American flags while running onto the field. Mr. Mitchem said his football team was a small church-based operation with no high school affiliation. “They know that when I make a rule, I make a rule,” he said of his players. “I’m trying to teach the guys respect, and in our program, we do more than just play football. We teach guys how to shake hands with somebody, look them in the eye, be a man.” He said he cared about Mr. Ingram-Lewis and Mr. McCullough and would consider letting them play again as long as they did not protest during the anthem. Mr. McCullough could not be reached but Mr. Ingram-Lewis said he did not regret leaving the team, adding that his demonstration was not about disrespecting the flag or the military. “That’s not our intent. That wasn’t Kaepernick’s intent when he first kneeled,” he said. “It was about police brutality and racial injustice.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/us/high-school-national-anthem.html?smid=tw-nytsports&smtyp=cur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
