I will bet you money that someone, somewhere has just launched the LeBron for President in 2020 website.Here is a video of LeBron James totally owning Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/NbzzfTvwGU— Mother Jones (@MotherJones) September 25, 2017
And his points in this tweet are right on.
People can put their politics aside when they are rooting for their favorite team, and Trump just tried to sabotage that.
Personally I think that when all of this finally blows over that LeBron James will have earned a few thousand more fans, while Donald Trump will see a dramatic drop among his number of supporters.
Update: By the way Trump still thinks he is killing it on this thing.
Man that is some deep, deep, deep cognitive dissonance.At WH dinner, Trump said the NFL issue has “really taken off,” per source. “He was happy—he feels like he’s clearly winning that exchange."— Rebecca Ballhaus (@rebeccaballhaus) September 26, 2017
Mr. Trump trolls America by purposely causing division and making us fight each other over the most dumb issues. Notice how every time very bad news for him comes out loud-mouth baby-tantrum throwing Trump picks a stupid issue he knows Americans will fall for and and fight over instead of talking about Russia, the emails, all his failings and the crimes he & his family are committing.
ReplyDeleteColin Kaepernick is his "Hey look over there! A squirrel!!!"
Seems to work every time and is purposely designed so you don't notice the Trumps do everything he has ever accused anyone else of doing.
Keep up the pressure. RESIST
Trump graduated with top honors from the Russian troll school Putin University. They know twitter and facebook sheeple will believe them.
DeleteWinning, winning, winning. That is all he cares about and he doesn't give a crap how he "plays the game." What a joke of a man.
ReplyDeleteLeBron lives in my town and he is respected not just for being King James at BBall, but for being a man that is worthy of respect in every way that matters much more than winning.
Go LeBron!

With absolutely no disrespect of LeBron James intended, it is not difficult to be more presidential than Trump. Trump has been a POS his entire life. When I heard folks talk about how Trump might 'pivot' and become presidential, my thought was he could pivot all he wants; all sides are the same. There is no redeeming compassionate human side. He has gotten away with being an incorrigible prick his entire life. I could only take a few seconds of him when I channel surfed and spotted him on that program of his. His arrogance jumped out of the screen.

This 97-Year-Old World War II Vet Joined NFL Players By Bending A Knee
ReplyDeleteohn Middlemas, a 97-year-old World War II veteran who lives in Missouri, could not stand for the president’s contempt of the first amendment.
So, on Sunday he bent a knee to show his solidarity with the athletes, who kneel as a way to protest racial injustice. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick spearheaded the movement last season.
And a photo of Middlemas kneeling has gone viral.

ReplyDeleteSteelers Player Who Stood For National Anthem Defends Athletes Who Took A Knee
“They’re just trying to protest the fact that there are some injustices in America.”
When Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Alejandro Villanueva held his hand to his heart while the rest of his team sat out the national anthem on Sunday, he was hailed a “hero” by conservative media outlets and others who’d deemed the #TakeTheKnee protests sweeping the NFL as disrespectful to the flag and the military.
But Villanueva, who served three tours in Afghanistan as a U.S. Army Ranger, pushed back on this narrative on Monday, saying that he was “embarrassed” that he “unintentionally left his teammates behind.” He also defended the players who sat out the pregame ritual.

Democrat Rips Trump As ‘Racial Arsonist’ Who ‘Pulled The Sheets Off’ After Charlottesville
Echoing the sentiments of Americans all across the country, especially after this weekend, a Democratic congressman obliterated Donald Trump on Monday, calling him a “racial arsonist.”
Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Trump doesn’t even pretend he isn’t catering to the most hateful and bigoted elements of society. Instead, Jeffries said the president has chosen to “pull the sheets off.”
Video:
...“Let me simply just say that time and time again, he has refused to distance himself from individuals like David Duke, an avowed white supremacist, as well as others, for reasons that many of us can’t figure out,” Jeffries said. “Why in the world would anyone equivocate, particularly the leader of the free world, as it relates to individuals like the KKK and neo-Nazis?”
He added, “His behavior is deeply troubling to Americans of all races and religious background who believe in the values of tolerance, decency and diversity.”
Jeffries also weighed in on the disturbing rally in Alabama, where Trump made the infamous “son of a b*****” comment directed at NFL players who kneel during the national anthem.
“[Trump] went down to the Heart of Dixie in Alabama before an all white or mostly white crowd — the good old boys so to speak — and engaged in what many of us I think can fairly call race baiting,” the congressman said.

"“thank you for your service” culture that avoids grappling with the issue of how we as a nation use military force. The desire to disproportionately weight veterans’ opinions on this, or any, issue reflects a broader trend of ceding them moral authority, in exchange for ignorance and detachment from the wars they have been asked to fight."
ReplyDelete"Former Army Ranger and Pittsburgh Steeler Alejandro Villanueva left the locker room to stand for the national anthem before Sunday’s game, while the rest of the team remained indoors. Yet, when asked about the issue, he told Fox News, “I will be the first one to hold hands with Colin Kaepernick and do something about the way minorities are being treated in the United States, the injustice that is happening with police brutality, the justice system, inequalities in pay. … You can’t do it by looking away from the people that are trying to protect our freedom and our country.”
