You made that up.

Did I?

I’d keep your secret but the cats already out of the bag.

I don’t know what basis Trump used for canceling it. I did hear that only a handful of Eagles employees and players were going to attend, trump may have felt snubbed.

Could it be that maybe Trump canceled it for that reason? If so, is it okay for players to use their own petty politics to refuse to attend?

Why aren’t more conservatives and Republican standing up to this wannabe dictator and his stupid cult? Are they’re becoming too chicken?

Translation. Why aren’t Trump supporters abandoning Trump in favor of LW activists?

Hmmmmmmmmmm…………………………

No, it’s more like. Why are they not abandoning trump in favor of any reasonable sane politician? Even one from their own party.

One the would get us tax cuts, and lower govt regs perhaps?,…,LMAO

Enjoy your trickle down illusion.

Why did Obama cut payroll taxes?

Cutting the corporate tax rates has nothing to do with payroll taxes. That’s what didn’t trickle down. And never will.

This is a dead horse. Go look at the threads that debunked this trickle down nonsense. Look at the several companies who just bought back their stock and so on and gave their employees nothing. Don’t cherry pick one or more and claim it worked.

LOL!..Buying back stock helps those who own the stock… Trickling allover the place…

Just stop. The peons don’t own stock.

Lots of regular people have stocks or stock funds. “Peons”… Are those the little people? Are you one?

Pretty much everyone that can have one has a 401k or similar plan.

Gravityspeak · 2018-06-06T02:02:19.164Z

Nope. Never said that.

reflechissez · 2018-06-06T05:19:39.189Z

Yep. He’s just like every other president.

Now the players are “petty?”

Is that really the best you have to offer?

WildRose · 2018-06-06T05:27:00.615Z

It wasn’t just a handful. It was a large portion including most of the black players on the team.

Since most of the players were black, that stand to reason.

I’m a conservative and a republican…and I would certainly wish that republicans stand up to Trump. He is on the verge of being a dictator…if he were to be impeached…and he were to pardon himself…That is every step of the way dictator…He would be in fact, saying he were above the law, the constitution and our way of governance that has stood more than 240 years. The man is dangerous to our fabric of being as a nation.

We heard the same thing from People here calling Obama a Dictator that he wouldn’t leave office etc…
It is absolutely STUPID talk that Trump is a Dictator just as it was Stupid for people saying Obama was as well.

Konssurvative1 · 2018-06-06T12:40:10.496Z

I am not even equating it to not leaving office…lol of course that was ridiculous. I can see president fremndschamen completely pardoning himself…as soon as any charges get levied.

If there only action on an issue is to publicly take a knee, or to refuse to attend a ceremony at the White house, then yeah, petty.

who is President fremndschamen ? or is this just your inner childishness shinning through?

Probably. But 1). why would you characterize the politics (or views, convictions, and beliefs) of those players as “petty”? Clearly, a player like Torrey Smith (for example) has sincere problems with Donald Trump and has expressed them clearly; you may disagree, but he’s not being “petty”; and 2). why do you presume that the Eagles are the only ones being “political” here, when Trump–who, you know, is an actual politician–has openly and deliberately exploited this polarizing issue for political benefit? Look, he had opportunities to be magnanimous here (seriously), but ultimately chose a pretty low road (smearing the players dishonestly and then holding a fake “rally”).

it’s like one of those standardized lori tests -

If all Zips are Zots, and all Zogs are Zips, are all Zogs Zots?

If all Dictators are ■■■■■■■■ and Trump is an ■■■■■■■■ does that mean Trump is a Dictator?

Konssurvative1 · 2018-06-07T17:04:50.314Z

Look it up…simply google the word And you decide if I am being childish. I’ll clue you in. Probably half the board will think I am not.

Nah…Here ya go:
Fremdschamen: German word
Embarrassment felt on behalf of someone else (often someone so ignorant to what they have done that they don’t know that they should be embarrassed for themselves); vicarious embarrassment.

Most of us feel the embarrassment that this president causes daily…He is President Fremdschamen because he is such an embarrassment to America, and he doesn’t even realize it. He stood there eating the words to God Bless America…even the most basic parts of the song. Yet he didn’t know enough to be embarrassed by his lack of knowledge of the words to the song. Fremdschamen…

WildRose · 2018-06-07T17:05:10.074Z

A pardon can be issued without charges ever being fired. Carter did it for the draft dodgers and Ford did it for Nixon.

Konssurvative1 · 2018-06-07T18:38:10.749Z

Yep…I remember…but Trump will wait until there is something to Pardon himself for…otherwise if he just Pardon’s himself, he becomes guilty just by the act of Pardoning himself…and therefore his head would explode for making himself look guilty through pardon.
