which one of those links disproves that Trump didn't increase spending for vets?

i only got through 2 of them - one was about the wait time and the other was about the flag. I'm assuming the rest are more about nothing I had posted.

throw insults my way as much as you like. it's the lib SOP when they make a mistake and are called on it. 

They all point out how he actually shits all over vets, as he does with everyone else.

Also, Obama did the same thing... https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2016/02/09/va-sees-another-funding-boost-in-2017-budget-request/

So really, there was nothing special about what he did.

[Lou]

he increased it, which was my point. 

and good for Obama. I'm happy he did so.

Of course, we know the GOP doesn't give two shits about veterans or us or anyone else other than themselves.

The GOP cares more for veterans then the left does or have ever cared about the veterans. Sorry but your stance is Fake News.

When you anger that many people with your method of protest, the original message will be totally lost. 

I'm sure people said the same thing to MLK Jr.

Equating MLK with Kaepernick is just silly

Some dude burned his Nike's while wearing them.

What I don't get is the guy who committed the most treasonous act in the history of our country has his base all riled up about what is patriotism and what isn't.  Just stick another W in Putin's win column MAGA's.

Has a jury returned a verdict already on that? I must have missed it.

I guess Mueller can finish his report now that everything is settled.

But you said that any protest that angers a lot of people tarnishes the original message. Just because something angers a lot of people, doesn't mean that thing is wrong. People get up in arms about the wrong things all the time.

That's not giving 1960s civil rights leaders like MLK Jr. and  Cesar Chavez remotely enough credit for being the brilliant political strategist that they were. Among everything else, they were astute at public relations. They understood the importance of it. Studying their tactics and thought processes during their struggles is immensely insightful and fascinating. The efforts in the present day, while admirable, is almost entirely self serving and shortsighted resulting in it being utterly counterproductive. Kaepernick I think ironically enough is the rare example of someone present day that for the most part really gets it. But he's drowned out by the sea of ignorance of both sides.

Seems like two adults talked about the issues at hand and their view points and came up with a compromise. You know, the unpatriotic American way.

Nike knows their demographics, there is very little risk in this for them im sure. as long as they dont need police protection, lol.  
The ludicrousness of the entire situation is beyond comprehension though.  Let me see if i have this straight... a black player who was raised by white family and had every possible break as a child decides to protest oppression by taking money from a company that uses sweat shop labor off shored openly oppressing its workers. 
I beleive... he got paid
He sacrificed... nothing, his career was basically done. 
This is the literal definition of hypocrisy for this man to be the face of this movement.
