    Oh please just stop it. It’s like comparing Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, and Justin Bieber. This is not occasionally like with Bush or Obama. This is the absolute biggest liar who has ever held the title of POTUS. It’s mind-boggling how you can compare them with a straight face. That is not hyperbolic in the least bit. Trump is truly that stupid. And most really know it. LOL

    by knowing it? no. by this tweet? no.

    Nobody's life has been affected by these tweets. The proof is in these lame responses in this thread.

    Que Bobby with "Obama's presidency forced us into this position".

    It's his fault that GOP primaries have absolutely bat **** insane people predominantly voting.

    Marshawn thinks Mexico LEOs have integrity and treat all people good?!?! WTF??, LOL, what a joke... These players and their protests are idiotic. I've seen many a protest and this NFL Player, Flag kneeling might be the worst executed of all time. Not at all surprised considering you have that great intellectual Kap and his kunty, psycho, GF leading the charge.

    I visit Mexico often and still have tons of family who live there. They/we would all love to explain to Marshawn how we would easily, earnestly, and happily trade USA Law Enforcement Orgs & Officers with that of Mexico's. Honestly, what a stupid stupid man.

    I wonder what Mexicans on the border of anywhere in Mexico think about rich NFL players protesting police.

    Secondly, the games in Mexico show the owners trying to market the sport to more viewers for more money for everyone

    Once again you missed it it's not just about black people being murdered it's about all the injustices that have been taking place across America. and just so you know there have been cases were people who didn't do disrespectful things like walking in a store while on the phone and got murdered by the cops.

    Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan and every other president in history have occasionally said or done dumb things worthy of criticism but NOBODY in the oval office has ever come anywhere close to displaying the level of juvenile behavior on a daily basis that this idiot does. But of course, this is how you defend Trump - by pretending that everyone else is just as bad and that this is the norm and everyone who gets upset by it is just engaging in partisan politics and overreacting. The fact that this has to be explained to you is completely absurd but here I am babysitting an ignorant troll while his mom is probably out shopping.

    You really should just take whatever thought comes into your head and then decide to have the opposite opinion and you'll be right 95% of the time and look like a genius.

    Marshawn Lynch, like just about every other person in this country, is probably far less aware of what goes on in Mexico than what goes on in the country that he actually lives in.

    Speak for yourself then. Can't tell other people that a president behaving childishly isn't worth caring and complaining about. I suppose people have higher standards of the Presidential office than you do.

    So, your personal experience is to be respected but Lynch's and other NFL players isn't? When black americans speak of their experiences it seems to fall on deaf ears for many

    You don't get it because you're not versed in modern-day, cherry-picked conservative patriotism.

    Kneeling for the national anthem = bad.

    Disrespecting gold star families and captured veterans = perfectly OK because who cares what Trump says, amirite?

    @JayGoogle pretty much nailed it already. So Marshawn Lynch is supposed to be outraged about the personal experiences of your family but not about his own personal experiences and others like him?

    To people like me, my grandfather, my uncles (mexican taxi drivers), my grandmother, black Mexicans, casualties of the War on Drugs, etc... All of them and us have suffered due to corruption that is so deep it's part of the culture. All of my family and I have paid/still pay "taxes" and "bribes" (mordidas as they are called) just to enter or leave neighborhoods for work. Or to get out of a fraudulent arrest or stop. And this fool has the audacity to sit for the US (which I don't care really) but then STAND for the Mexican national anthem?!?! If you stand against discrimination, corruption, etc... absolutely facking great!!! but if you only care about those things happening to "Americans" and not your neighbors who still live in way worse conditions and corruption right now on a daily basis. oh yea, another group is the black mexicans who face severe racism even today on a daily basis. honestly he can go fack himself with his stupid fake ass protests.

    yea racism and discrimination only counts when it happens to americans. to be honest, substitute americans for whites and that sounds awfully like whites talking about blacks back in the day. other words for that btw are racist and discrimination.

    So by that logic, anyone standing up when the American anthem is being played is standing for all the police brutality and military atrocious along with slavery that occurred in this country under the flag?
