Trump, Rex and the NFL

[dorquemada]

 

This is beyond politics. How any minority capable of an independent thought in this country respects anyone who supports Trump is beyond me.

 

So if a coach has a different opinion on politics than his players, the players shouldn't respect him? Are you a millennial by chance? That's the exact sort of idiotic crap I see a lot of out of people coming into the work force these days.

Bill Clinton in 1995 I believe it was, addressed the house during his presidential speech that we needed to start securing our borders with Mexico and deporting illegal aliens because it's taking away jobs and causing this country to carry a heavy debt. He went on to say that it's the American law and being here illegally is against the law. The whole house stood up and cheered. Donald trump says the same thing in a non-political fashion and he's raciest against all Mexicans..LMAO... He said that criminals, rapists and drug dealers are coming across the boarder everyday (Which is true) and that some of them are good people.. Yet the media don't show the last part...

Cmon guys...TBD was my safe place! 😉

[reddogblitz]

How do you know most don't agree with him. The players, like Rex, are rich. Hence, they're probably Republicans already.

That fact you think a 40hr working week is good tells you most of what you need to know.

My office just got telework. So now I can post here 24/7. Love telework.

So Bill Clinton was wrong for that. I won't vote for him this time. Two wrongs make a right, as I always say.

No Bill wasn't wrong for that, you lost out on my point......... Bill Clinton says the same thing Trump says and is cheered, Trump says it and is apparently racist... Yes, I'm voting for Trump..

[Rockinon]

Perhaps the "non-socialists" should consider putting up a viable, electable candidate. Just a thought. 'Merica

i don't actually disagree with this, but I also cannot stand the notion of putting another tax more, regulate more, democrat in office. Pretty soon the only decent job anyone will be able to get is one working for the government. Private businesses will all be gone.

I like Donald Trump better than HC . I also am in a union . You can't paint everyone with a broad brush.

Trump is pro whatever the hell puts money in his pocket. He flip flops more than a fish out of water, denies he said things that you can easily find online, and makes up all sorts of crap.

 

 

I don't understand how people believe a single word he says.

I don't believe much of what either one says about their past. So I'll vote for the one that wants to overhaul the tax code ( instead of ignoring the issue to continue giving more of my $ to people that don't deserve it) and doesn't give credence to racist groups who are against our society's protectors. Simple as that.

No. The point of the post was about the majority of them being rapists/thieves/murderers and assuming some of them are good people just looking for work. It's the exact opposite. Most of them are hard working people looking to get ahead. A small minority of them are bad people. Have you ever worked closely with Mexicans in construction or in a restauran ? It's harder to condemn everyone so plainly when you can't put a face to them.

I don't believe he meant a majority of them , but some. I've known Hispanics in my experience to be good workers. I'm not sure if that's a racist stereotype or not, but it's what I've seen. I do think the spigot needs to be shut off though. We just can't afford it. We borrow 60 cents of every dollar we spend ( government that is) and two thirds of the budget goes to social security and health care as it is. We are at the saturation point. Too many illegals in the country as it is. Get here legally.

I won't dispute that we need more regulation. Possibly taxing them at a higher rate or more border security.

 

It wouldn't be a big thing if he said it like your or I did. My problem is that he's not smart or tactful enough to do that. He makes W. Look like a genuis. He's often unhinged and thin skinned. My problem with Trump is he has no real convictions, outside of his own brand. Hes ridiculous. His speeches are mainly nonsense. Have you ever looked at a transcript? Romney would have won this election handily. Hillary will be president because Republicans went with a mad man this time around.

 

Direct from his twitter:

 

How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obamas birth certificate died in plane crash today. All others lived

 

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non competitive.

 

Everyone knows I'm right that Robert Patterson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years he will thank me, be smart Robert.

 

Are these the words of a stable person that we want to lead the free world?

I haven't found anything Trump has said to be racist. It's called spin.

In 1991, a book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump as criticizing a black accountant and saying: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” O’Donnell wrote that for months afterward, Trump pressed him to fire the black accountant, until the man resigned of his own accord.

Trump eventually denied making those comments. But in 1997 in a Playboy interview, he conceded “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”

Look they are both unstable. They would each have a slew of the best and brightest most stable individuals guiding them. So Hillary doesn't tweet, big deal. She's just as much about her " brand " as Trump is his. Trump wants to overhaul the tax code, clamp down on immigration , doesn't pander to Muslims that don't fit with the western way of life and supports our law enforcement officers not BLM.She wants to keep giving things away for "free". It's an easy choice for me.

I'm sure the guy wrote lots of "stuff" which stuff was he referring to when asked that? Anything can be taken out of context. Hillary has been heard calling an African American the N word. Oh well. What can you do ? Neither on e of these candidates is good. One wants higher taxes and to give things away for "free" to people that don't deserve it . One wants to change the tax code from the mess it is. One supports BLM publicly, one doesn't. They've made it really easy.

For the last five months all we've heard from Trump supporters is how "everythign is taken out of context."

 

Think for yourself. Or else stop calling everyone else a shill.

And just because Hillary does something doesn't mean it was okay for him.

I'm just saying I'd like to know what he was asked about : I'm always skeptical of what is out there regardless of the candidate . That's because everything is spun a certain way. I don't call anyone a shill. I think these are two horrible candidates . Their policy beliefs are so stark that it makes it easy. If one was a great person and one wasn't that might make it hard to go with the lesser. But they are both vermin. I haven't voted for a republican since George HW Bush vs Dukakis. That's how bad I think Hillary is. I though about voting McCain but didn't because he said he wanted to tax health insurance benefit as income. W scared me as far as overturning Roe V Wade but I don't think that will happen now. I'm voting the issues instead of the circus around these two heathens.

trump hit the nail on the head.

 

30+ years in the "service" of the public, and all she's go to show for it is a (very likely) tax-favored estate estimated couple hundred mill, a hundred-fifty grand a speech from the wall streeters she's going to rally against, a laundry list of misdeeds toward victims of her husband's lecherous ways, disdain for millions of melting pot Americans that fall into her basket of deporables and irredeemables (and that, to me has an oddly Pol Pot sorta vibe to it when she says it) if for no other reason than they don't like her politics, an inability to understand even the most basic security protocol, a habit of lying about where she was and what happened when she was there and to boot, is apparently as careless and reckless as a $5 hooker at a bill clinton all-night banger.

I think HRC is a bad candidate for a variety of reasons, but I'm fine with her policy positions on most issues. I also disagree with Trump's policy positions on most issues. Consequently, it's an easy choice for me, too. Our positions differ, which is fine. She'll certainly win, but she'd probably lose if she were facing, say, Kasich. Unfortunately for the GOP, a vile, third-rate Mussolini easily defeated a slew of better and more qualified candidates (like Kasich) in the primary process. The blame for that lies with the GOP primary voters and the party itself. They're reaping the rewards at present. They have a painful reconstruction process ahead of them.

[Boatdrinks]

I can't throw away a vote to a third party. It's like voting for HC

[yungmack]

Just read an interesting article on BR, "Donald Trump is Tearing the NFL Apart". It starts of like this..

 

 

I didn't know that Rex was a trump supporter or that he spoke at his rally. The article goes on to quote a couple of anonymous Bill's players who said their opinion of their coach changed after learning he was a Trump supporter. I'm not sure of the role that politics play in an NFL locker room, hopefully players/coaches can draw a line between that and football.

 

It'll be interesting to see if anything comes up in the next month.

Apparently, so is Incognito. And I guess Tom Brady is as well.

[nucci]

[The Big Cat]

I can't throw away a vote to a third party. It's like voting for HC

 

And the way I see it, a vote for either the major party yahoos and the joke is on me.

 

I'd love to side with the Green Party, but Jill Stein can't stop embarrassing herself.

 

I also align philosophically very closely with the Libertarians, I just don't think their ideas are relevant to today's economic realities.

 

So, in the end, it only makes sense to cast my vote for the late, great Gene Wilder.

 

And no, I'm not kidding.

 

I live in Chicago, it'd take suspiciously targeted plague for HRC not to get Cook County.

 

I spent the last half decade of my career working in local and state politics--Illinois and Chicago, two microcosms of how completely upside down the entire system is.

 

On principal, I won't abstain from participating. But I refuse to play the game by their rules any longer.

 

So, the Waco Kid it shall be.

dave, it's funny you say this. as a conservative, it stuns me to see where we are at with trump. However, I understand the reaction to the same old business as usual for many middle to right leaning people. the republicans take control of the house and senate and nothing really changed. what really amazes me, on the other hand, though, is that Clinton was, is and has been the heir apparent to the democrat party. in spite of her obvious, documented and debated flaws---she wasn't a groundswell candidate--she was The Chosen. to me, that's even more pathetic.

HRC may be deplorable. But DJT is unjustifiable, IMO.

[Dr. K]

That's not what he was saying. He was saying he felt the individual was incapable of putting aside some comments that Trump made about illegal immigrants from Mexico ( Not ALL Mexicans) when giving rulings on his cases. He basically was saying the Judge was racist in response to his opinions on immigration that were being spun as racist. Trump wasn't saying the Judge couldn't make decisions properly because of his race , but because he felt the judge was being racist against him.

Trump had no basis for saying that Curiel was "being racist against him" other than the fact that Curiel was of Mexican descent. He was assuming that, if the judge ruled against him, it was because of his race. If that's not racist, what is?
