Crazy Mike Pence leaves Colts-49ers game after 49ers players didn't respect the flag

[MarkDuffy]

Pence has assured that trump will keep his 32%

LOL

 

[basquebromance]

Crazy Pence is so 100% patriotic he left the game, but he's fine doing a fundraiser Monday for (among others) Putin-apologist Crooked Dana Rohrabacher?

This was a story that Trump and Pence did on purpose. Pence went to a game that he KNEW players would kneel, just so he could leave and spin into something more. Fuck him and Trump. They are trolls. They literally just did a real life troll on the American public to create even more fuel to the fire of dividing our country.

I really don't understand how people can continue to support these guys.

They are doing exactly what the players are doing...protesting, it’s all good. This is what makes America great, at least the oppressed players make a lot more than the VP.

It's not the same. I just pointed out why.

It is the same. Pence went to specifically to leave. It was to bring attention back on to the issue. Kaepernick purposely to draw attention to his cause. Pence left to specifically bring attention to his cause.

You just don’t like it. Me I like that both are allowed to protest.

It's NOT the same. He went there (On the tax payer's dime) to a place he KNEW players would kneel, just to leave and then make a statement about it on Twitter to fuel controversy. If this is what our President and VP is spending all their time working on... then our country is in deep shit.

That is your opinion and your right to express it.

/—-I wonder what lobbyist paid for his ticket.

/——/ That’s all you got?

Well did he buy a ticket? It's obvious the whole
Thing was a set up for his dramatic exit .

Why? Cause pense supports police brutality.

You seriously think that Pence bought that ticket?

/——/ I don’t think any president or VP pays admission to any event, not Pence, not Obozo, not Biden nor Trump. Get a life will ya?

So then, what's the big deal about him leaving besides just some fake trumpanzee drama?

/——/ Ahhhhh the VP stood up for his beliefs. Ask mommy to change your stinky diaper

It really is amazing how stupid some Trump supporters are.

Just out of curiosity, do you think there are any important things going on in the world that the President and VP might want to pay attention to?

/—-/ Libs complain non stop on his actions in PR, obozocare, tax cuts and NK and you say they aren’t paying attention? Go pound sand loser.

So what it doesn't really matter why Pence did it he has every right to just as these players can kneel during the anthem to try and make whatever point they are trying to make Pence or anyone else can walk out after they do so to make their point that they find the act disrespectful.

Not sure why you guys can't get this... Trump and Pence CREATED their own controversy and they tweeted about it to draw attention to it.

Exactly and you fell for it to because here you are talking about it. Congrats! He got us all.

Uh no? I'm only talking about it because it was obviously planned, which means him and Trump are actually spending time thinking about this instead of doing their jobs running the country... and the fact they used TAX DOLLARS to do it. How many of your tax dollars were wasted by the players kneeling?

The real mockery of national anthem was by Vice President Pence

A mockery was made of the national anthem all right.

But it wasn’t by the San Francisco 49ers who knelt during it.

Vice President Mike Pence turned the anthem into a prop Sunday, co-opting it for a stunt that served no other purpose than to sow division and further enrage the administration’s conservative base. That it likely deflected attention from yet more neo-Nazi protests in Charlottesville was all the better.

“For more than a year, members of our team have protested the oppression and social injustices still present in our society. While some may not have taken a knee or raised a fist, we have all shared the desire to influence positive change,” the 49ers said in a statement issued last weekend on behalf of the players, coaches, ownership and staff.

If there was any team Pence was guaranteed of seeing protest, it would be the 49ers. Yet he went to the game, anyway.

Please, though, tell me again how it’s the players who are so disrespectful.

Did Pence really not expect this?

Did he just show up to make a point by leaving?

Derp.

That's just it... they aren't paying attention to those issues, and the fact they pulled this stunt today is just proof of that.

Poor Pence, Daddy made him walkout on his hometown team.

He didn’t make him do anything he didn’t already want to do. Just as no one made the players do anything they didn’t want to do.

"He didn’t make him do anything he didn’t already want to do. "

You could not possibly know that. Therefore, you just made it up.

So people can make you do whatever they want you to do? Interesting, people can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do. I didn’t know I was the only one.

You didn't hear that the Neo-Nazis returned to Charlottesville?

The fact that Pence even went to the game in the first place after Trump called for a boycott is pretty hypocritical.

 

[OldLady]

You're missing the point. Maybe you're doing it intentionally.

When the anthem is played in public, do you stand?

Another miss.

thanks for my answer. Go back to the FZ again and act like you don't know why this is an issue for many.

Or "worry" some more about a POTUS who thinks folks should stand in public when the anthem is played.

Keep my travels out of it, I'm warning you.

It is fueling the division and the bitter feelings on both sides that worries me. Kap came out and said he'd stand if he is hired again. The games were beginning to be about football again instead of who is kneeling.
Now we're back to square one. I don't think it's healthy to keep this going. Sure, some people won't let it go; they'll worry it like a dog with a bone for months.

You're "warning" me?

You clearly stated you are worried or even disgusted by a POTUS who thinks folks should stand when the anthem is played.

And you answered my question by not answering.

Your hypocrisy and backpeddling is showing like a cheap slip. "Kap" is unemployed.

Si Modo, I figured out what you meant about the FZ--there is another thread there on the same thing that we were both posting on. Excuse my alarm.
We'll leave it there, I guess. Go find someone else to troll.

pence like trump is such a lying moron

Goverment employees have constitutional rights, too.

Not sure why you guys can't get this... Trump and Pence CREATED their own controversy and they tweeted about it to draw attention to it.

The NFL players used their freedom of speech Trump and Pence used theirs I'm not sure why you guys can't get this. There is no controversy it's people doing what they have a right to do.

Going into today, did Pence support the boycott? Maybe he didn't. I don't know.

And now you are pulling a little bait-and-switch, removing the idea the president may have ordered Pence to do something and replacing it with the falsely equivalent idea of "Anyone can make anyone do whatever they want". then, you insist that the argument is about this, instead.

Since the DOD pays the NFL to have players out there for the National anthem? I’m not sure but is does cost us taxpayers.
