The Morning Joe folks are saying that what Pensedid yesterday was worse

[malaise]

than Bridgegate I'm lovin' it!
Big flop for Dotard, Groper Don the Con and Mother's Pious Pence.

[mnhtnbb]

1. I watched it and was amazed to see them really call out what an expensive stunt it was.

And it was.

Pence flew from Vegas to the game. And then turned around and flew right back to California for fundraisers.

They had to have Secret Service check the stadium. They put all the attendees through special security.

Pence knew in advance there would be team members taking a knee. He had his marching orders from Trump.

It was a total stunt. And a very expensive one.

[malaise]

2. This was planned days before the game

They are pure scum

[Timmygoat]

3. And I would like to say

this Trump, could it be the same Trump who dishonored our troops like the Muslim who is buried at Arlington, whose parents stood up for Hillary during the election.
Is it the same Trump who called McCain a coward.
Perhaps it is the same Trump, who got out of joining the military during Viet Nam 5 times referencing a bone spur, but in fact it was cowardice.
And now with his lackey Pence he wasting my taxes to pull silly stunts.

(My husband is a disabled Vietnam veteran who was awarded the Bronze Star for saving lives)

I say leave the sportsmen alone, (they have a worthy cause)

[malaise]

4. And I would like to say

you are 100% correct

[sarge43]

6. Welcome on board.

You forgot to mention Moron called combat PTSD victims weak.

Moron and Mommy's Boy wouldn't know true honor if it bit them in the ass.

The sportsmen are exercising their constitutional rights. Case close.

for your spousal unit.

[karynnj]

10. Not to mention I would bet that many people like your husband

were less than amused that he called his indiscriminate sexual behavior his "personal Vietnam". Neither my husband and I ever served, but I was sick when he said that as it equates the genuine sacrifice of people like your husband who risked life and limb to his playing around.

As to the Pence stunt, in addition to the cost, it was a kick in the face for the Indianapolis team which was celebrating a former star.

12. Great

post.

[iluvtennis]

17. Well said.

[JohnnyRingo]

5. It's hard to compare it to anything that's happened before.

It appears to be a mean concerted effort to use the White House in organizing a boycott against a private business.

No one has seen anything like it because the office has never been held by a man so small and petty.

[malaise]

32. +1.000

They were dealing with the inconvenience to the fans and the traveling public.

8. K&R...

9. Great...

An anti first amendment VP?

[Stuart G]

20. Here is the first amendment ..........and the single key word...surprise..........

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The key word is...the 4th word................"no "...."no law"....it really is pretty simple..(and that is why they wrote it in a simple way.....

no law..........means "NO LAW".........


Now I am not sure when I learned about that word....no...but it was pretty early in my life..probably 2 or 3 years old...It is a word parents or loved ones always teach the very young child, or children, if you have more than one, like twins, triplets, etc..their young children............

"No law"...means..."no" law....none, zero, nada, 000000000000000000000000000000

get the picture...?..So pence cannot make a law, neither can trump..., neither can I, and neither can you.

Yes, the courts have ruled you cannot yell fire in a crowded theater, and you can't make up stuff and spread it around as truth...(, just an example..:."she is a whore"...and that person is the most non sexual person in the world, doesn't want it, never thinks about it ).....Spreading around a known lie, to injure someone is called .."slander"..that is against the law.......free speech does not cover "slander"...

Those are a couple of exceptions..there are not many..
Courts have ruled the "flag" is not sacred...yes they have..and it isn't. If we had Washington, and Jefferson and Madison right here,,,,the three would say....trump and pence are idiots...how did they get in????
What happened..?....

Well that is enough on this one...F**K trump and pence...send them back to school and learn the law..

[Stonepounder]

11. Could someone explain to me how walking out in the middle of our National Anthem

is being respectful of our flag and country? If taking a knee is so horribly disrespectful of everything American, how is turning your back on the flag and walking out somehow 'respectful'?

[oberliner]

14. He didn't walk out in the middle of the anthem

He stood for the anthem with his hand over his heart and left shortly thereafter.

[Stonepounder]

21. So, he stood for the anthem while the players were taking a knee and then left?

So he didn't leave because the players protested, he left because....?

He refused to watch the game because some of the players exercised their Constitutional right to silently protest? If some Trump supporter did that they would be out the price of their ticket (which would be in the owner's pocket) and they wouldn't get to see the game and nobody would really notice. With Pence doing it, the taxpayers are out about $250,000 and he didn't get to see the game.

Whatever happened to: "...will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"? Or did the TP gang take a different oath, one that says: "...will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the flag and the national anthem of the United States"?

[oberliner]

22. It was a moronic stunt, orchestrated by Trump, as red meat for his base

And a middle finger to the rest of us (and, in particular, to African-Americans).

[Qutzupalotl]

24. Pence had to go to a fundraiser.

Link to tweet

[Capperdan]

28. He's not Welcome here

Let's greet him at the airport on bent knees.

[gratuitous]

23. Why was Pence looking around?

Shouldn't a good, patriotic American be focused solely on Old Glory while the National Anthem is being played? I wonder if young Mikey ever caught a sibling sneaking a bite of mashed potatoes while Dad was saying grace before a meal? The punishment for looking around when you should be concentrating on God is at least equal to any sins you might witness because you weren't.

[oberliner]

13. Was that before or after Mika spent 20 minutes bashing Hillary Clinton?

Over her ties to Weinstein.

[dsc]

15. really

the same woman who has not one, not two, but three books about to be published by his company. Sweet Jesus that is hypocritical.

[oberliner]

16. She said she would cancel her book deal unless Weinstein resigns

Which he did, so I guess it's all systems go on that front.

Anyway, she was patting herself on the back for her statement and criticizing others (like HRC) for not doing likewise to her satisfaction.

[dsc]

19. Does Hillary have a book deal with him?

I don't know which publishers his company owned. She isn't running for office so no money to return. She likely issued a statement so still pretty hypocritical on her part.

[malaise]

33. I did love how skillfully she danced around the books

[Me.]

26. Mika Apparently Has Hillary Derangement

Bashed her about PR too saying where was she

[Kingofalldems]

29. Oh I get it alright.

[SHRED]

18. Didn't someone die during BridgeGate?

[Achilleaze]

25. Americans have learned to expect lies, spin, and bullshit

From the Republicans.

[Capperdan]

27. Send the money to Puerto Rico

Nah, let's go to a ballgame!

[procon]

30. It was a slap in the face to the teams, their players, fans and the whole city.

Pence and the Moron thought this stunt was a winner. They wanted to bash a few players, but at the same time they insulted everyone else with their petty theatrical antics. Pence and Trump stole their thunder, they became the sole focus of the media, not the game, not the players, not the guy retiring, not the protestors, just Pence and the washed up celebrity who lives in the adult day care center at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[Motley13]

31. I hope a reporter asks moron if he is going to reprimand Pence like he did Price

for wasting taxpayer $$$$$'s
