Trump's first tweet this week to inform us Pence's trip to Denver was planned for a while.

So -- what does that mean. It doesn't give it any integrity.

Only a fool or Trump & Pence would have not known that there would be kneeling. They knew he would have to walk out.

That's lots of money for a stunt.

In fact he is even more dangerous because he is more intelligent than Trump. The amazing thing is that there are many Americans dumb enough or brainwashed enough to think Pence and Trump are representing their best interests.
Actually, they do.

We passed the cool aid to you during the Clinton Administration. You know, the one who got his johnson waxed in the oval? Yah, that upstanding citizen and his bride. Yah know the one who tried to inflict punishment on the women he abused? Yah, that one. It's pretty muddy down there and their ilk have been to long shaming the rest of us into taking their bs.

We're done. Memo was issued 11/7/16. Perhaps you missed it.

He told the media to wait on the plane since he would be right back. A completely transparent stunt conducted using taxpayer money to fly him there and provide security just s he could put on a little show before flying onward to a political fundraiser in California.

Fail.
Fail, in what way? As for wasting tax payers money, he was going to be on the west coast anyway, who cares if he made a stop? Let's talk about others who have wasted tax payers money; like it or not, most politicians are good at spending others money or maybe you think only the ones who have different views than you do this? Think again. as as the saying goes: suck it up, butter cup!!!!!

and reading your other posts it seems you have a really huge chip on your shoulder. it

That Zellieimani guy seems not too smart or preying on the not too smart.

Mike Pence condemns white nationalist violence in Charlottesville
I agree they are not mutually exclusive, but here's what I don't get:

How is it soooooo terribly wrong for NFL players to protest in support of all the flag stands for, for ALL CITIZENS, yet it's OK for the VP to walk out and stage a protest.

For the record, I think neither group was protesting the flag, our military, or the police, but if optics count, it looks more like Pence's protest was anti-American than the players, who were basically saying that all the flag stands for, it should stand for all.

Anyway, I have to chuckle at the hypocrisy, bashing players for using their platform to protest, because "they should do their job and shut up", but some are praising Pence for using the same venue, same situation to make a protest. I really think this administration is just too stupid to realize it.

Pence flew from Las Vegas, Nevada to Indianapolis, Indiana and then to Los Angeles, California. Look at a map; Indiana not a stop between Vegas and LA.

All the games I saw had full stands. (I'm sure crappy teams who have not had winning seasons are different).

In contrast, let's look at NASCAR. The typical NASCAR fan IS the typical Trump Supporter. God, Religion and Guns. It's been that way for decades, and for the last few years they've been tearing down stands because they can't fill them. Even with less seats, you watch any NASCAR event on TV and there are wide swaths of empty sections. This has been going on for a while, but even Dale Earnhardt Jr, the poster-child for NASCAR is now speaking out against Trump's racist agenda.

So, despite your false rhetoric, NFL is building bigger stadiums and filling them. When you step outside your pool of thought, the majority of Americans seem to stand with the players, and resent the administration for bringing politics to the NFL. On the otherhand, the "sport" that has been the home of the red-state right is crumbling.

But keep on with your fake stats if it makes you feel better.....
