From a foreigner POV I don't even understand the need to play the anthem. If you want to pay respect to soldiers, pay their medical bills and take care of them when they comeback.
Are you insane? These things cost money!
 
All those people not running again are slowly developing to be a huge problem for the Republicans. Corkers seat (1st class Tenesse), while leaning red, is far from guaranteed. With the shimpanzees current approval ratings They might as well lose it.

The 2018 senate elections seemed like a sure thing for democrats (even offering the perspective of gaining a few seats, but now?...
Still, the democrats are seeking for 23 seats to be reelected, the republicans only 8. All democrats are incumbents though. The republican seats now include one retiring senator in a state that was once certain but could now be lost for 6 years. They are also running in Nevada and Arizona, which are a tossup currently.

Basically, this was a chance for the Republicans to gain back various democratic seats in republican leaning states. Having seats in states leaning towards the other party is the biggest asset you can have in the senate and gaining them back is usually your first priority if you have lost them. The huge number of democratic seats up for reelection now have been a result of the 2012 election, where the Democrats increased their lead in the senate at the expense of normally republican leaning seats like North Dakota, Montana, Missouri and Virginia.

As for the Alabama special election, they are even beginning to lose their lead there. In ALABAMA a democrat is in with a chance
 
Should point out to those in the White House you are not standing to show support for the troops when the Anthem is played. So the whole they are dishonoring those who serve/served is fake news bull shit they made up themselves.
 
Can people in any other western, first world country legitimately be accused of 'disrespecting the flag' by their head of state?
 
Whoever follows this buffoon has a big job in reinstating the worlds confidence in the US. As of right now, most people, in Denmark anyway, are laughing at them and it seems to be the case in every other country as well.
 


This is such a massive fail that anyone with half an iota of self awareness would resign in shame. :lol:
 
Reading up on that Pence tweet... he posted before the game as a "looking forward to attending" though using a recycled photo is stupid. There's another image he/someone posted of him in a suit (no tie) with hand over heart for the anthem.
 
This was clearly another distract and divide publicity stunt, one that cost the taxpayers a few hundred thousand quid for something unnecessary and ludicrous and an act that disrespected the Colts organization, the NFL, and the flag. The irony of it.

Feels like using taxpayer dollars for a campaign move, as early as it is.
 
Why's he posing with Jimmy Krankie?
 
If the LV event thing is legit, which has been brought up along with the photos, it's even more asinine to claim departing because of anthem protest. Even more so if it's proven he remained well after the anthem.

Nothing will come from it, either way. The right-wing media will gloat about the VP standing up for America and the left-wing media will moan about the administration's continued division.
 
Click those pictures and look at the dates of the tweets.

Ah, I see. While I'm always up for blasting the White House these days, this seems fairly innocent. He's just saying that he's looking forward to be at the stadium again, no?

He always planned a quick exit which is why he didn't even take a picture and posted an old picture.

The whole thing was staged as feck.
 
America has to be the 2nd most childish country in the world, after North Korea.

I hear you. Just read the post above that says something about the costs of this little stunt. They all just appear to completely lack a moral compas. I suppose it could always have been this way, but Trumps White House really is absurd and disgusting.
 
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
