Preview For This Week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots
INDIANAPOLIS – North Korea and its nukes can wait. The White House has declared war on the NFL. And on the First Amendment.
Two weeks after President Trump decreed that NFL players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired, Vice President Mike Pence walked out of Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday after about 20 members of the San Francisco 49ers knelt during the anthem. The 49ers were in town to play the Indianapolis Colts.
What, you think he didn’t know the 49ers would kneel on Sunday? Pence knew. The 49ers are the one franchise, the only franchise, that have had at least one player kneel before every game since Colin Kaepernick was the first to do it in the 2016 preseason. Kaepernick played for the 49ers, of course. Last week, following Trump’s unpatriotic assertion that he would fire someone for exercising their First Amendment rights, more than half the San Francisco roster knelt.

You know Mike, you could have just saved time and money and just given the NFL the finger directly. But this is the Trump administration and we don't have time for rational solutions! Thank you!
*audience applauds wildly*
This week on the Top 10 - the Wheel Of Corruption is back! And we tell you about how gun nut apologists are attempting to justify Vegas, walk out of an NFL game, talk about bump stocks, and Donald Trump is once again probably going to kill us all. And we also talk about the Corker feud, Nazi snowflakes are hammering Bethesda for "Wolfenstein: The New Order", Harvey Weinstein joins the Pussy Grabber's Club, right wing religious nuts are batshit insane, and we have more tales of stupid people to tell you about. All this plus the next stop of our World Tour 2017 - we are visiting the land of Japanese baseball, sushi, anime, and Japanese rock music as we hit the land of the rising sun - Japan! Plus some live music from X Japan!
