Wishful thinking.

And, how the hell were the players supposed to know that Pence was leaving early to attend a fundraiser? You mean to tell me he just dropped in to catch the national anthem? Doesn't make any sense.

But that's beside the point anyway. The players are protesting the fact that a cult of racist cops shoot first then ask questions later when it comes to blacks and get off with taxpayers footing the bill. How much integrity would the players have shown if they directed their attention away from their protest just to make the vice president look awkward.

Considering that the Black Caucus were about the only ones that stood up to the lying, dumb-ass Bush when he rushed the country into the Iraq war, maybe it would pay to listen to them for a change? We probably wouldn't be in the mess we are in in the middle east and their certainly wouldn't be Isis, which was a direct result of the Iraq occupation.

By the way, Willie W. How are things down at the chocolate factory?

#45 The players should have stood in respect for our National Anthem. Pence had already planed to leave right away to make it to some fund raiser. Had all the players stood in respect, it would have made it awkward for him to walk out early.

Trump is gonna do something wrong...

False police reports should be taken seriously.

With all due respect, I am missing the point.

Wherever there is open carry, more blacks and minorities need to purchase and display their automatic guns in public. That's it.

Gun regulation would pass in a month

Whoa, trolls poppin' up everywhere! Fetch Negan's "Lucille!" YES! "I feeel your hatred! Let it flow through you, boy!"

Haha -- no really, you guys & gals did a pretty good job this time around doin' the same 'ol song and dance routine. Good reads, insults and all. Hey, c'mon, it's fun, right? Animated true believers who go gun crazy and express anger so eloquently are a hoot!

And what better issue to get real sh*t from the heart instead of programmed sh*t from the head. One can respect honest feelings, if not slippery-slope mental gymnastics and false assumptions based on nothing but pure, fact-free opinions.

I've already said my piece for what it's worth -- obviously not much in a troll brain (which is cool; the sentiment is reciprocal). Can't really add much else, other than to clarify the record a bit ...if anyone really cares.

First, I've never said that owning legal firearms is bad or that it should not be a right for law-abiding, responsible citizens, who deserve the freedom to shoot stuff to their heart's content, as long as it isn't hurting anyone or anything.

Nor do I think that the Second Amendment, however misinterpreted, should be abolished. I thought that was pretty clear -- what part of "it's a bridge too far" do you not get?

I grew up in the mountains in a rural area and have been around guns all of my life. Right now, I own three, try to keep proficient, and enjoy doing so. Never have I equivocated about that.

BTW, picking your butt in public reveals your inner self, Killasquid. Not everyone thinks like you -- thank God! Your knee-jerk insinuations are easy-to-read tells. Evidently, you believe profiting on death is normal behavior. I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're in a psychopathic minority, and such attitudes disgust normal people.

Sorry, my Ar-15 was never about money; it was just a stupid toy that lost its allure after Sandy Hook and became bad mojo. In fact, I did take a substantial loss, but it was still a good deal in my mind, because I got rid of the damn thing, and my buddy was glad to use it for training, which was a good thing for him. Did I ever say anyone else must feel or act like me? No. That's just more of your own self-projection.

But to deny, in so many words, that this country has a grave, very serious problem with the weakly regulated proliferation of military-grade weapons, where almost any crazy bastard has easy access to commit mass murder, is just plain stupid! And, puh-lease; the NRA is nothing but a lobbyist and toady, raising money to bribe and blackmail politicians, and spreading lies for an unconscionable industry that seeks profit above all else.

Sure, all the hyperbolic outrage is entertaining on one level; but then, you realize that in all of the loud indignation about the SUPPOSED lost rights of gun-totin', middle-aged, mostly white guys with beer guts (Oh cry me a f*cking river!) the ACTUAL lost rights of hapless victims mowed down in their own streets is hardly ever mentioned? Another glaring tell.

In fact you'd be hard pressed to pick out of the troll droppings above any sympathy at all for the shocking carnage that just happened right in front of us. Instead, It's all: "OMG, the Democrats are gonna take our guns!" Please demonstrate when exactly the Democratic Party has ever introduced legislation to do that in their entire history.

They've done nothing but try to inject some sanity into the process, especially when it comes to these rapid-fire instruments of terror and death. Republicans bitterly oppose sanity ...because they're f*cking nuts!

Wake up! Fix the goddamn broken links in the chain! Jaysus, why is that such a hard concept to fathom for Fux heads?!

I have a question for DianeR. Are the links you gave us in support of deepspace and Thom?

Speaking of minutes wasted, the variety article somehow equates a corporation making decisions based on profit as an attack on free speech. We on the left wish that suppressing information could be overcome by claiming freedom of speech; especially, when they stopped talking about global warming for so many years.

Thanks Diane,

Honestly I have never listend to Hartmann on the radio. I do visit his website from time to time to keep up with the usual left wing nonsense. All the democrat talking points straight from the democrat political playbook can be found here. They offer nothing new. Society's problems are never their fault. Yet liberals are a significant reason for society's ills. Liberals scream at the top of their lungs everytime a mass shooting takes place but are totally silent when millions of unborn babies are aborted each year. In fact they cheer it. Then they wonder why someone commits mass murder. They are the biggest hypocrites of all.

Oh they will come after me for equating a woman's "right to choose" with a mass murderer. Let them. There is more blood on their hands than anyone else. The NRA had nothing to do with the Las Vegas shooter. The NRA was not in his room. The NRA did not supply the shooter with guns and ammo. The Las Vegas shooter violated numerous laws, including modifying a semi-auto rifle into an automatic rifle and cold-blooded murder. Now the liberals want us to believe that more guns laws are needed to stop these atrocities. And they say we conservatives are stupid???

Kilosqrd,

1. The horse is actually full of bull. I seriously doubt he/she has ever touched a firearm.

2. Hartmann has slipped up more than once and stated on the air that if he had his way all guns would be taken and destroyed.

3. Who gives a bag of rancid oats what a few malcontent leftie/socialists think, it ain't gonna happen anyway.
