“New roads and bridges”, eh? Did he mention the second bridge over the Detroit river, which has been blocked for decades by the Republicans in the Michigan legislature (bought and paid for by the corrupt owner of the Ambassador bridge)? And the Republicans are blocking it even though even the Chamber of Commerce and…

That’s weird, because when I hear the national anthem, I think of all the Native Americans we massacred for their land.

So glad to see your sentiment is not shared by many people. Kaep and Rap see inequality and injustice, and are protesting, because well, the Bill of Rights says they are born with the right to do so (it doesn’t have to be earned as you suggest). You should support every American's right to peaceably protest. It's the…

Counterpoint: Megan rapinoe and Colin kaepernick have done more for this cause in the last two weeks with their “toothless” activism than you will do in your entire life.

Your ancestors put on a uniform. Love that. So did mine. They were drafted.

Really internalized that nationalism to an unhealthy degree it seems, yet ironically don’t understand the personal freedoms people are granted. One opting to an exercise a freedom shouldn’t be met with “okay if you want to do that, then leave”. If it bothers you so much, leave the country.

Fuuuuuuuuck that. Yeah, a lot of people have died in foreign wars at the behest of this country, but none of those wars had to do with your “freedom.” They had to do with global politics and hegemony. The Swiss share all the “freedoms” that you do, without all the flag-humping jingoism.

Patriotism is holding your country accountable when it does wrong, not screaming to silence others who dare question it. That’s just plain ol’ nationalism and the Russians and Chinese have it in spades as well (we just mock them for it while ignoring our own). Chanting ‘USA’ to drown out unfavorable opinions and…

Nope. This is dumb. Marginalized peoples like Kaepernick and Rapinoe earn the change that’s necessary in this country by virtue of being human beings. Get the fuck out of here with this corny bullshit.

If you don’t demand more from your country than how would progress happen? You call it crying but I didn’t see any tears on that field. I just see two people taking a stand for a cause that means a great deal to them. Which, from what I understand, is the right that troops fight for us to have.

The sad thing is is I think most people with a functioning brain and who follows this coverage even sporadically realizes this, and it is so fucking annoying.

Meanwhile, New York magazine puts itself for the shadiest fucking magazine in the United States of America with this recent title:

WHY are people STILL pretending that he has policies at all? His “policies” are weird vague promises, nothing more. He really has his slovenly fanboys convinced that he “runs businesses” when in reality he “runs” a cheesy empire built on the lie that he’s a successful “billionaire”, an empire that’s built on a…

A law, BTW, that was overturned by a voter referendum and almost immediately repassed by the Republican legislature and signed by Snyder. Only this time with an appropriation added that made it referendum proof.

It’s just given us this wonderful exchange, though:

The most galling part is that Detroit and its school system have been under the control of emergency managers, who report to the state’s Republican governor, since 2013.

Or shitty Republican run cities like the ones all over the Deep South.

Sadly, Trump’s proclamation that he’s going to revitalize Detroit with his non specific plan of “New factories, roads, bridges and schools everywhere”, is only the second biggest crock of shit a politician has told the people of Michigan this year.

Goes to show you that some companies will do the least amount of work they can legally get away with.
