Context is king. Well unless you're not paying attention. In that case feelings Trump all. The hoax isn't that Russia TRIED!!! To screw with our election(as captain tang has said) but that they had any effect.
No place in a players contract does it say they need to stand for the national anthem. Try again.
First it was “they did nothing.” Now the story is changing to, “they didn’t influence anything.” Judging by the idiocy I saw on Facebook, and other social media sites, the past two years, with obvious fake shares and people touting completely made up stories as real, yes, the puppet trump had an incredible boost from the Soviet Union on the social media front because of how uninformed voters are.
Since you chose to come back, act in a proper way or I’ll exercise the rights of my private forum. You post intellectually dishonest, you’re done. You troll, you’re done. You continually ignore questions asked by others, you’re done.
I listened to the audio book Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders.
Read by Bernie and Mark Ruffolo 'The Credible Hulk'
Because there's no logic to it. The alt right "discusses" politics with personal attacks and strawman arguments.
They live off emotion and logical fallacies. They will "inform you" what you believe, then tear it down and walk away.

They'll never respond to criticism, they flip it around and attack you.
Apparently I'm a hypocrite because I support NFL players rights to peacefully protest vs groups that incite violence and actually kill a person in the streets. I guess right to free speech includes running people down in the streets with your car?
That's not what "hoax" means at all.

I do appreciate when Trump supporters follow up his statements with detailed explanations.
Russia meddled with the election, clearly in favor of Trump. That's a fact.
Did this impact the election? That's not a fact that can be clearly measured. The election was very close, and ultimately came down to tens of thousands of votes in a few swing states. Did this impact people? There's no way to ever determine that.
That's not at all what a hoax is.
I'm pretty sure the Nazis were Nazis in public. Even ran into a crowd of protesters in public.
But they weren't black so thats ok.
Trump withdrew the invitation to the GS Warriors....after Steph Curry said they weren't going to go
The alt right ignores the differences between neo nazis and NFL players:
-NFL players have started no violence
-Neo-nazis and David Duke specifically have personally endorsed Trump on multiple occasions. At Charlottesville, Duke said that they were there to "fulfull the promises of Donald Trump".

I am not asking Trump to limit the free speech of those people, just to comment on their position. You kind of need to have a side. Nobody is a "little" neo-nazi. If Charlottesville was peaceful, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Confederate statues are also another alt right strawman. Taxpayer money should not go to put up and maintain statues honoring an armed rebellion against my country. Confederates are offensive to me even without the racist message behind it (funny how when someone takes down a confederate statue people say it is just "part of history" yet skinheads show up with nazi flags).
I make the same argument as to why taxpayer money should not go to Christmas decorations or anything else that the government should not be pushing.
A lot of people on my FB jumping on the “kick all the NFL players off the team” bandwagon that protest the national anthem. No use in arguing with these people. I really hate this dumb s***.
Good for Steph. It would be nice if all pro teams across sports skip the White House visit from now on.

Won't be many left after tomorrow. Probably going to see a lot more protests.
I bet those people are the same ones who complained about protests in the street because they are disruptive. Quietly taking a knee as a protest and bothering nobody? Still wrong.
Stay in your place black people and don't you dare even even look shifty at those statues of people who wanted to keep you as slaves.
Funny how the people who accuse others of being sensitive snowflakes are the ones that get triggered by every little thing someone else does.
Anyone who bitches about the Confederate statues being taken down should be asked if they'd support a statue of Bin Laden, or how many more Americans he had to kill to be worth celebrating (or is it just that he needed to treat blacks as property).
Twitter sure is entertaining right now. Trump has opened a can of pissed off sports superstars across the country. They are not scared of this clown.
Divider in Chief doing his usual work. First baseball player to take a knee
Even got Stevie Wonder in on it

Nazi’s expressing their first amendment right, “Very fine people.” Black athletes expressing their first amendment digit, “Sons of bitches.” Nope. Not racism at all. I gave him the benefit of the doubt earlier this year. I didn’t think he was an actual racist. Now, convinced. He’s racist. His racist history is vast. He’s a racist pandering to his racist base.
