His dementia is really hammering home the fucking degenerate state his mind is in. Why would they name the stadium after him?
Because if they don’t he’ll sue them for being very unfair, and then he’ll get the stadium named after him and a $300 million dollar cheque. He owns the judicial branch and unlike every other president before him he is willing to use it as a tool for his petty revenge. Turns out that every other president actually believed in a higher power then themselves, be it God or country. Donald doesn’t believe in anything.
You’re right. I said all the time that Trump only cares about Trump. I don’t know why I forgot in this case. Maybe it is because it felt so fucking random…
Was at a bar watching NFL with the bros when they kept showing his fucking face.
We tried to ignore it at first but they just kept showing it.
We started loudly booing. At one point I shouted “WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO STARE AT A FELON RAPIST JUST TO WATCH FOOTBALL?”
This bar is in California, but I guarantee some conservatives were there. Too bad. They’re filth and are putting felons and rapists on television during football games. I don’t give a fuck if it hurts their feeling for me to say this shit in a public space. Decorum goes out the window when you’re forcing sports fans to sit and listen to a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and insurrectionist.
The NFL is getting pretty fucking gross. Just in the last few weeks they’ve put a felon rapist on the air, one of their ex-quarterbacks stabbed an old man, and a new player ran from the cops and then blew his brains out.
The fuck is going on with that organization?

My two-cents on the matter: The NFL’s relationship with problematic decisions and/or optics, have been a thing for a long time now.
- Military flyovers1
- Strictly IMO: player “draft” process resembles an auction
- Predominantly black player base with white team ownership
- “Redskins” as a team name for far longer than the public felt it acceptable
- Entire league suffering from concussions2, life-altering injuries after retirement
- History of team owners doing all kinds of problematic stuff, but keeping their jobs regardless
- My problem here is that we’re talking commercial sports, an institution one could feasibly use as a refuge from politics. But we add rah-rah military back in, opening the door for nationalism, because screw all that.
- There are lawsuits out regarding a possible cover-up (going back a long time) by the league in this area, as highlighted in recent news.
One could stop supporting an already problematic organization.
My Dad had season tickets for an NFL team for 25 years, and we went to a LOT of games together. Then the team suddenly moved, and it was heart-breaking. We got another team, but it wasn’t the same.
In the late-90s, I started my own company, and since I had to carve a lot of time out of my life, I gave up sports once and for all. I haven’t watched an entire game of any sport in over 25 years, and I haven’t missed it.
My only major sports indulgence today is the Olympics.
Thanks for the story. I played football in highschool but the adoption and amplification of jingoist bullshit in the 90s removed any interest I had in it.
Curious: Cardinals and Rams?
Hah, gotcha! It was the Cleveland Browns. I don’t even care about sports any more but I still hate the Ravens and Bill Bellichek, who turned out to be even more of a massive dickhead than we always thought.
Yeah, a big part of why I was able to stay away was because of the whole commercial circus around pro sports. Now they have to have big parties for the drafts, etc. It’s gross.
And frankly, the REAL reason sports is so big these days is because of gambling. The wealthy want to get your money any way they can, so now they have us betting on the Circuses part of the Bread & Circuses.
They market strongest to young men, hoping to turn them into gambling addicts when they are young, so they can waste their lives throwing away any disposable income they encounter.
They’re also working on figuring out a way to get us to pay some exorbitant price for the Bread part.
Rich motherfuckers ruin everything.

That’s where bankrupting farmers comes in. They bankrupt smaller farms and buy up the land. Billionaires have been buying arable land all over the place for a while now and then there’s also the agribusiness conglomerates gobbling up farms and land wherever they can.
They’ve commodified every aspect of survival so now their only options are to squeeze and concenrrate. Fitting that there’s an orange at the helm.
Oh fuck off you narcissistic twat just FUCK OFF!
It’s sort of amusing that the profound psychological issues that make him the most corrupt POTUS in history, the most self-absorbed POTUS in history, the most dishonest POTUS in history and the most deranged POTUS in history also make him the most tone-deaf POTUS in history.
We better hurry up and do something about it because history is written by the winners
History is only written by the winners when the winners benefit their civilization.
When, as has consistently happened in the latter days of past civilizations and as will be the case if Trump and the oligarchs and their fascist tools win, the winners solely benefit themselves and thus ultimately destroy their civilization, history is written by third parties.
Not true. China rewrites history all the time. You should know this.
… Because China is working to benefit their civilization. When that ceases to be the case their people will stop listening.
Incorrect.
The CCP is guilty of some absolutely heinous things but high-level they do a lot of building and investing. It’s a lot of headline stuff but it’s better than what the US is doing. The US can’t even build public transit within most of its major cities and each state is constantly fighting with the other ones. The people in charge enrich themselves not quietly but as loud as possible.
China sucks, but they do have at least a small point.
The general attitude of the people in China disagrees. I guess we can try to tell them we know better as we strip civil society down and burn the rest.
The general attitude is controlled by the CCP, as we know. Any dissent is quickly dealt with to maintain a hive mind that aligns with the CCP.

For those who didn’t know, Donald previously screwed up an entire football league by trying to overleverage.
He did that after trying to buy an NFL team but getting denied by at every attempt by NFL management.
This is why my dad hated Trump before he was in politics
My old man said the same thing. He also killed the USFL. A Spring (American) football league he pushed to play in the Fall to compete with the NFL, which led to its downfall.
Here’s how he pissed off the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to join.
I absolutely love that they included a wider shot in the article that most people probably scrolled past, but I caught this in it:
“He says I’m number one!”
what a fucking patriot
He showed up on the broadcast and didn’t seem to say anything too bad. Sounded like your ordinary senile grandfather or uncle. A bit confused but held it together.
He’s a piece of shit and the world will be a better place when he dies
Just my review of what I saw. However your assessment of him as a person is accurate and something I agree with. Was just mildly surprised he didn’t say anything stupid.
The majority of American citizens did not vote for him. The majority of citizens were busy. I’m pretty sure about 85 million Americans didn’t vote. The majority is silent.
So… 85 million Americans need to experience pain before they realize sitting out the election is a bad idea. Not bad, they’re getting there…
I really haven’t heard booing in any of the clips. I hate trump but these Rorschach clips are so annoying because it’s obvious that people just hear what they want to hear.
How much did the shit show cost US taxpayers?
How many people went hungry, for absolutely no win in the end?
I honest to fucking God don’t understand why the democrats are so fucking pathetic.
