Where’s the Rethuglikkkans outrage over the disrespect to our Flag?


Rethuglikkkans were outraged when African American football players expressed their First Amendment right by taking a knee in front of the American flag.

Where’s the outrage when they see our Flag waving right next to the Flag representing a brutal dictator who oppresses his people and murders innocents just to stay in power?

Where’s the faux outrage by these Rethuglikkkans??

Standard diplomatic protocol.

And football players were exercising their First Amendment Right.

Call it what you want - Rethuglikkkans should be outraged, more so then watching football players take a knee.

reply

Triggered much?

The flags of all countries in negotiations are always shown side by side. I swear, if Hitler came back and ran as a Democrat (which he would because he believed in a strong central government, socialism, and gun control), you would vote for him.

And BTW, the protests had nothing to do with the First Amendment. Please read it.

Edit: corrected last sentence in italics.

American flag is raised in North Korea for the 1st time in decades - why does Trump befriend the enemies of democracy while trashing its allies?

reply

The Republicans are being softened up to become more accepting of dictators and human rights abusers.

Hell, even right-wingers here on this board seem unconcerned and perhaps even THANKFUL to Russia and Putin for campaigning on behalf of the Republican Party (now just imagine their reaction if Russia had been campaigning for Democrats, LOL!).

I think Trump is doing this because he wants his base to almost prefer things like state-run media, enforced nationalism, jailing journalists, trade isolationism, sealing up the borders, etc. He talks about this stuff so much in one way or another.

reply

I was actually just messing around by changing a few words in an old Kayleigh McEnany (GOP spokesperson) tweet that she made about Obama and Cuba back in 2015. Not sure what she's referring to about Obama trashing our allies but I can imagine her reaction if he had behaved toward Canada, France, and Germany the way Trump has.

reply

why does Trump befriend the enemies of democracy..


It's called diplomacy junior. You see, if you don't at least make the attempt to guide an adversary into a moderate government, then you don't belong in the White House. But I'm sure you and all the rest of the libbies are hoping (or even praying) something goes wrong. If Korea nuked Japan right now you'd be thrilled. America doesn't need you; please find a country more suitable to your type of government. Try France or Venezuela.

Trashing it's allies? America has been abused by past trade agreements for so long that it's about time a president tries to level the playing field. If our "allies" are bitching, we're on the right track. But by all means, bend over and grab your ankles for the French, Germans, and Canadians. You're their type of American.

reply

Hey strntz, thanks for the junior nickname...now in my mid-40s I’ve been feeling old lol. But anyway I was just messing around by changing a few words from a 2015 tweet from GOP spokesperson Kaleigh McEnany which read:

“American flag is raised in #Cuba for the 1st time in 5 decades - why does Obama befriend the enemies of democracy while trashing its allies?“

So it’s called diplomacy right?

reply

Whoa whoa whoa, are you trying to apply rational logic in a discussion with a drumpf supporter?

That's like smashing your head into a stupid wall. But I applaud the effort, keep up the good fight!

reply

LOL!, you can't be serious! Obama was there in *solidarity* with a despot. How has Cuba changed since Obama kissed Castro's ass? If Obama had his way, he'd have closed Guantanamo and ceded the land back to Cuba.

What Trump is trying to do is change the course of history for NK into something more like SK. Still a long shot but only a fool wouldn't try.

Lefties are praying something goes wrong.

reply

But you just said "You see, if you don't at least make the attempt to guide an adversary into a moderate government, then you don't belong in the White House" but it seems this only applies when it's someone you like in office. Otherwise the person is in *solidarity* with a despot. You don't find your words in the slightest hypocritical?

And I'm an atheist (well more agnostic) so I don't pray. But I'm certainly not hoping something goes wrong with North Korea. I don't like Donald Trump and disagree with the majority of his policies but an attempt at diplomacy with North Korea is certainly better than the alternative. I am skeptical however that Kim Jong Un isn't playing Trump for a fool but time will tell.

reply

Really, if you can't see the difference between the negotiations going on in NK compared to Obama's Cuba photo-op then I do any more. BTW, that backfired miserably. Most Cuban-Americans were horrified that Obama visited Cuba with no agenda. He may have inadvertently delivered votes to Trump.

And I also have concerns that lil' Kim is playing around for more time, but Trump seems to be holding firm on disarmament. I'm sure whatever deal (if any) he makes will be far better than the deal that Bill Clinton made.

reply

Right, Obama was just in it for a photo op....meanwhile Trump had commemorative coins made of him and Kim Jong Un made as soon as the summit was announced. No ego there...

reply

Here's another Trump official tweet that hasn't aged well from Director of Strategic Communications, Mercedes Shlapp from March of 2016:

"#Cuba #obama shakes hand with dictator Raul Castro. next shakes hands with NK dictator Kim Un Jung?"

Still no hypocrisy from this administration?

reply

"#Cuba #obama shakes hand with dictator Raul Castro. next shakes hands with NK dictator Kim Un Jung?"


Okay, let's try this taking a different tack:

Castro mounted Obama and made him his bitch.

What Trump is trying to do is undo the damage of Clinton, Carter, and Bush (and Obama if you count his impotence) and make East Asia safer. Months ago NK was lobbing missiles over Japan. Decades ago Cuba had Russian missiles and JFK backed down Russia the same way. BTW, both Trump and lil Kim use toilet paper so where's the outrage about that?

I'm sure this still won't help you so, as Forrest would say: "that's all I have to say about that..."

reply

You're right, nothing you've said has helped me to see the blatant hypocrisy that I've mentioned above any differently. But I am sorry to hear about Obama being impotent....but I hear it happens to all men sometimes.....never to me of course (cough cough).

Also no idea what you're talking about with toilet paper but I think I got the jist.....Trump-good, Obama-bad. I also have nothing more to add.

reply

Also not sure how an overall trade surplus with Canada translates to being abused but whatever.

reply

Who said anything about the Second Amendment?

Football players were exercising their First Amendment rights by taking a knee in front of the flag, and Rethuglikkkans were outraged.

But no outrage to have our flag flying next to North Korea’s. None at all. Why? Because they’re disgusting hypocrites. Hannity didn’t give them they’re marching orders to be outraged.

reply

Yep. Meant first amendment. Edited.

Football players were exercising their First Amendment rights by taking a knee in front of the flag, and Rethuglikkkans were outraged.


Has nothing to do with the First Amendment. Read the Bill of Rights again.

Ironic that you spell Republican with "KKK" since the KKK was founded by the Democratic Party.

reply

Has everything to do with the First Amendment.

Where’s the outrage over the American flag flying next to NK which honors the dictator who oppressed his people and kills innocents to stay in power? You still haven’t answered.

reply

Again, read the first amendment and cite the exact passage that correlates to your argument. This is what happens when they don't teach civics anymore...

I did answer. Diplomacy. And you're bitching about flags in the grand scope of what's going on in East Asia? Less than a year ago lil' Kim is launching missiles over Japan and you're obsessed with a diplomatic gesture. It just kills you that Trump is closer than any American president to fixing the NK problem.

reply

It kills me that Rethuglikkkans are not outraged over our flag flying next to the one representing a dictator. But they’re outraged when football players take a knee to exercise their First Amendment. I guess that’s part of T-rumps plan to keep dumbing down America.

And Yes, it’s their First Amendment-their right to assembly and their right to free speech. Not sure why you’re not understanding this.

reply

Not sure why you’re not understanding this.


You either refuse to understand the First Amendment or you're incapable of understanding it.. Debating such an inane argument is pointless.

reply

Typical Rethuglikkkan response when lost.

Go back and praise your new hero - Kim Jung Un.

reply

They don't care about anything really other than the almighty dolla

reply

...& rubbing Hussein Obama's nose in his own makings.

reply

Electing Trump has proven that all their preaching about family values was just a pretense to attack their opponents.

reply

Yep the republicants have no moral or ethical leg to stand on. Just a bunch of blowhards parroting faux news.

Lolol "family values" with a pussy grabbing Philanderer in the white house. But gay people can't get married "cause Jesus" and women can't control their own bodies "cause Jesus". Man I hate hypocrites. I imagine there is a special place in hell for them😉

reply

[[[Lolol "family values" with a pussy grabbing Philanderer in the white house.]]]

"And they let you."

You always forget that part. Don't stew about it though. I always will remind you.

reply

Ya I'm sure Harvey Weinstein thought the same.

Also, still shows a complete lack of ethics and morals for a married person

reply

Your regrets are your own, Joff. I have no sympathy for you.

reply

Your reply makes no sense. I have no idea about the "regrets" you speak of.

Like all Kaiser Drumpf's supporters, when pressed you get belligerent and nonsensical

reply

& there ya go with the name calling. Like clockwork.

reply

Awww muffin you don't like me giving your supreme leader a moniker?

Poor fragile flower.

reply

...otherwise, we wouldn't even be here. She'd be President.

reply

......And that has what to do with the topic at hand?

(Seriously like talking to a squirrel)

reply

Nothing. I'm just reddening some ass.

reply

Well then, Kaiser Drumpf jerks off to pics of Ivana while Melania gets shit on by Arab sheiks

reply

Hussein Obama

reply

Beautiful mixed race babies
👍

reply

Wont they just get aborted?

reply

Hopefully not, but definitely not if bible thumping republicants have their way. No one could have abortions cause "sweet baby Jesus"

reply

That's part of Trump's defense strategy. He goes on the offense, puts you on the defense.

You ain't robbing our Presidency.
