    It is very hard to explain. I'm not sure I can. In short, I just think it's their emotional immaturity. Perceived racism makes them huddle up for their own tribe regardless of the law or common sense. They are apparently unable to stand alone under our Constitution so they band together and become very defensive.

    I know a few young Hispanic waitresses and their lack of education bonds them with the illegals. They see themselves in them.

    My Father was exactly as you say; he did it the right way and had no sympathy for law breakers.

    Kaepernick's apparent love affair with Castro didn't cause any problem in those who support #BLM. They see Castro or Che as hero's. Revolutionaries who shot the finger at the US. Haters think like that. And they are becoming emboldened by the DNC's failure to reject them.

    It's become normalized, even laudable.

    Think about this; to his credit, Popovich stood for the national anthem. People are coming out now and saying, "That's ok." Really? We have to be blessed by others now if we stand for the anthem? It's UNBELIEVABLE how political it has become.

    I wouldn't know because I will never watch another NBA, NFL, or MLB game again. I hope all three leagues go under so that we never have to see another spoiled pampered millionaire athlete grandstanding about how oppressed they are.

    Popovitch stood for the anthem? What a traitor to his cause. He was one of the most out spoken coaches for all this stupid mess.

    Popovitch went to the Air Force (?) Academy. I think he is patriotic and loves the country but is very troubled by what he sees with Trump.
    Becky Hammon was just being cool.

    ^Pop is indeed a graduate of USAFA (Class of 1970, 2 years behind me). Patriotism is a large part of the program at USAFA (as it should be for a military institution).

    Did you see someone on a personal boat with a Trump flag floated out to the SpaceX capsule? The boat sailed right across the video frame.

    By the way, there were 20 boats in the area, not just the Trump boat.

    Funny, my daughter flew Trump flat on the lake in Idaho the past weekend. Said they got lots of positive screams and applause from many on shore.

    Hahaha, good one cause there were some good lookers on the boat and, had there been any topless that would have brought more whistles for sure.

    He is super patriotic. Nothing says that like being a rube for the cultural Marxist agitators.

    Or maybe what Pop was really upset about like most of the DOD is that Trump wants to pull troops out of foreign countries and refrain from instigating more war abroad. Actually that makes more sense now that you say that and I think about it.

    We're really in a bizarro, screwed up world. George Popovich stands during the national anthem, and it's controversial. People wonder why. Link.

    Big endorsement for Joe

    Bob Avakian, founder and leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, told followers in an email Monday that ousting President Trump is too important a goal to miss, so they should vote for Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden.

    We have reached a point where the radical and courageous stand for the flag

    Kneeling is now old-fashioned, it's what boring, banal people do

    Saw that one along with a bunch of other dumbasses that had ZERO business being allowed to be that close to the retrieval operations. Hopefully security gets stepped up on the next splashdown...

    Biden apparently considering no one except women of color for Veep; Kamala, Karen Bass, Atlanta's Mayor, the crazy governor of Michigan, etc. He's even considering Susan Rice! I'm surprised he left Oprah, Michelle O., Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Whoopi off the list.

    Can you imagine Rice, who went on National TV after Benghazi, looked the American people in the eye, and lied her *** off being one heartbeat away from the Presidency? One shaky, old, heart beat away from the Presidency.

    if Trump loses, we are in for changes like this country has never seen before. The media will fawn all over every Biden pronouncement and whip up public sentiment for it. I hope we can delay it for another four years at least.

    The “enthusiasm gap”

    “How do you feel about the presidential candidates listed below?”
    40% of Biden supporters said “enthusiastic” compared to 68% of Trump supporters.

    “How enthusiastic are you about voting for president in the upcoming presidential election in November?”
    53% of Biden’s supporters said “extremely or very enthusiastic” compared to 76% of Trump supporters.

    Obvious solution to the fear that crowds on Election Day could foster annother wave of COVID-19 - tell Republicans to show up to vote on Tuesday, Democrats on Wednesday.

    Here is a Trump quote I posted back on May 15. He knew back then, just like some of us did too, that Biden would not be able to go toe-to-toe with Trump in a debate so they would be looking for any excuse to get him out of it

    Our media is so dishonest. We deserve better
