Did you really have to go back to the 1980s to find a picture that proves your point? Just look at the hair, and those vests...

OH MY GOD HE CAN WALK!!!! THE FLAG HEALED HIM!!!!! PRAISE FLAG

The Venn Diagram of people upset over others not standing for the anthem and people who love the Confederate flag probably has a massive overlap.

NASCAR, where confederate flags have been flown for decades, standing up for an anthem over police brutality against black people?

No, this is 2017. We tell it like it is. The president is tweeting the way he is and the StLMPD is treating folks the way they are... Because of who they are.

...that some old dude is getting some exercise?

and your point is?

Absolutely. The fucking military does not own the flag or the anthem.

I knew he could always walk!

Goddamn it. KNEELING FOR THE ANTHEM IS NOT A SLIGHT AGAINST THE FLAG OR TROOPS!!!!

I just want to make a point here: when Trump complains about “respect for the flag” he is not talking about the flag. He is talking about him.

I bet he’s okay if they fly confederate flags during the anthem.

Well, I didn’t really have a reason to watch NASCAR, but now I have a good reason to not watch NASCAR.

Except that apparently the reason is not to protest, but to avoid the issue altogether. The owner (or maybe it was the coach?) said they were staying in the locker room so that players didn’t have to choose whether to stand or kneel or anything. It’ll read to a ton of people as protest, but I wish it actually was.

Their official reasoning for this is to express no political opinion and remain neutral. It’s kind of a big deal, but that’s not the best message in my opinion.

Maybe the media can’t, but I, for one, can absolutely deny her class, poise, and patriotism.

Melania has no actual poise or class or patriotism. Standing quietly on the side lines while wearing $5000 frocks is not poise or class or patriotism. It is simply standing on the sidelines while wearing $5000 frocks.

The mail order bride he purchased as a trophy has to be admired. She’s the gold toilet of wives!

Perhaps the young prince is looking to cuck the old dotard after hearing the stories of how his mother was perved after by the dotard in the distant past?

Even the media can’t deny her poise, class and patriotism
