look at this bullshit, and the thread of tweets after it.

especially this tweet:

So, he made that tweet, including the graphic that goes along with it, at about 1:27PM. The Colts game started at 1PM meaning the anthem was at about 12:55 PM.
So picture Pence in the suite at 12:55. Anthem starts, players kneel, he says "fuck this" and gets up and leaves. Probably takes at least 5 minutes to get to the motorcade/limo, at 1:08 he makes the first tweet. 4 tweets would follow, including the one with the graphic.
Are we supposed to believe he just spontaneously came up with that mini "speech" off the cuff from the back of his limo? And who put that graphic together? It contains the text of the other tweets. He didn't do it from his iphone in the limo.
ALL THIS was preplanned, all the tweets, the graphic, all made ahead of time, otherwise there is no way he could have made them all in the time allotted. This was a STAGED event by drumpf and Pence and further deepen the divide over this issue and keep us focused on NFL player protests when we should be talking about Las Vegas, Puerto Rico and RUSSIA
SICKENING and I hope the media notices and calls out that this was all PLANNED, but I doubt it.

You HAVE TO SUPPORT these athletes you woman-hating asshole. Free speech is just that, a constitutionally guaranteed RIGHT. You swore to uphold that when you teamed up with Twitler. You did not swear to agree with their ideas, you swore to protect, uphold and defend them. Do your job or return to Indiana and continue your gubernatorial war on women, the poor and people of color.

(15,805 posts)it's used is a good indication of intent. Of course needlework can require delicate skills in workmanship, but where it was used and the punctuation, clearly refers to Pence, not a needleworker.
BTAIM, my grandpa knitted hundreds of caps and scarves over his whole life. My brother is a big time quilter and makes the cutest quilts for his grandkids with tools, princess dresses and stuffed animals as his favorite themes. My DH spends hours making potholders on one of those looms for kids, but he loves doing it and who doesn't need new potholders?

(70,510 posts)The "kneeling problem" had all but gone away but lately
some twitter accounts were set up in Russia with names like
"stand for the flag, stand for the troops, and stand for the anthem"
and then Trump sent out tweets w/links to those accounts.
This is all the gas lighting of America by Russia and their puppets
in the White House.

"The vice president was scheduled to fly to Indianapolis to attend Sundays Colts football game before jetting to Los Angeles for a private 6:30 p.m. reception.
Pence and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy were scheduled to hold a luncheon fundraiser at a country club in wealthy Newport Beach on Monday, with tickets starting at $2,700 each, the Orange County Register reported (http://bit.ly/2yykHwR), citing Republican National Committeeman Shawn Steel."
It'll be great if Mueller can wipe that fucking smug-ass grin off his face.
All of Dotard's hypocritical, smug looking fucks almost make me physically ill every time I look at them.
Unfortunately, they have to be looked at and listened to so they can be called out on their constant, never ending lies and hypocrisy.

(1,325 posts)Admiring cheerleaders in the company of thousands without his wife present is a dangerous situation. Who knows, maybe he'd be running onto the field naked and excited chasing the cheering squad? Being a grown man and not in control of himself is an awesome responsibility. My apologies for the mental picture presented - but it is a funny picture nonetheless.

(36,816 posts)"disrespects our soldiers" - Think of Trump ridiculing all POWs with his statement that he likes soldiers who were not captured.
Pence proudly stands with Trump.

Let's see how the republican leader of the free world (Dubya) disrespects the American flag for all the world to see.

And did something he didn't like? At a large sporting event? Hope he appreciates the commonality.
