No Leadership in Washington; trump plays the race card expert!

It's amazing how trump wants to gripe about the players kneeling during the national anthem but hasn't said a fuckin' thing about why they are doing it. He hasn't mumbles a word about white police officers murdering UNARMED CITIZENS OF THIS 'great ' country in cold blood. I guess it's alright with him as long as these kkkops are shooting Black people. Talkin' all that buuuulllllssssshhhhhiiiiiittttttt about disrespect to the  country. Well again I say to him God's Laws trump patriotism everytime (pun intended)! Remember the one about thou shalt not committ murder? This is what the Lord of the Universe says? His Position trumps a mere president of an upstart country that's getting ready to fall anyway! repugnicans always want to throw out patriotism to justify the fucked up things they be wanting to do. What is racism, murder, and racial oppression synonymous to patriotism in their eyes? Must be they keep bringing it up everytime there's a question of them oppressing someone of another race, like the Phillipines, Nepal, NKorea, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, or any other non-european or  non-white nation.

‘No leadership in NFL!’: Trump tweets about players who knelt during national anthem

After refraining from comment on the NFL and its national anthem demonstrations Sunday on Twitter, President Trump resumed his criticism of players who do not stand for the song and hammering the league’s leaders.
“Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the national anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag & Country. No leadership in NFL!”
On the first Sunday of games after a meeting last week at which owners and players discussed ways to channel their activist message about police brutality and social injustice into action, the Associated Press counted 22 players out of more than 1,600 who protested in some fashion before day games. Individuals variously knelt, locked arms or raised a fist. Three Miami Dolphins and a Tennessee Titans player, with the permission of their coaches, did not take the field for the anthem. In New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, several members of the Seattle Seahawks remained seated on the bench during the anthem. During warm-ups, the Indianapolis Colts wore black T-shirts that said “We Will” on the front and “Stand for equality, justice, unity, respect, dialogue, opportunity” on the back. They locked arms as they stood for the anthem.
