Thinking of giving NFL team ownership another shot Rush?
THIS is one of the problems of having to talk for three hours. It doesn’t bother us at all Rush so shut up and entertain us.
Trump actually did what Rush and others with a national stage should have.
Is Rush back on oxy?
Then why an I wearing safety glasses and steel toed boots? Why do I have to put on a seatbelt when driving a fork truck 2 feet on flat concrete?
I tried to listen to Rush the other day, something I rarely do any more.
The first words I heard were “iPhone 8”.
That ended it.
Trump will continue doing exactly what he is doing. He’s a true leader and leaders lead.
Well, here’s a solution. Congress must make a law that requires ALL persons standing, hand over heart and silent when Our ANTHEM is played, our PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE is said.
At that time PDJT would be justified in his words. BO’B did and it seemed to work out well for him.
POTUS has the right to free speech too. I don’t see him using the power of the Presidency to enforce anything, so irrelevant.
Rush doesn’t get it. Trump said right from the beginning that he represents We the People. When he uses the bully pulpit, he’s not speaking as an individual, he’s speaking as the voice of the rest of us who are shouting at our televisions (before we turned them off in disgust), for those in the stands, yelling “stand up!” For those who served in the military and paid dearly for these fools to show such a lack of respect. What he’s saying is that the media and liberals have been able to ignore flyover country Americans and our values for way too long, by portraying us as “just one guy talking.” Trump is saying they won’t be able to ignore him talking. And he speaks for us.
This article is taken totally out of context. It’s sole purpose is to divide the base.
Lighten up, Rush.
Trump is expressing his own opinion on the issue. He is not calling for legislation to force anyone to stand.
What does or did 0bama/Clinton do to their enemies?
Rush is wrong on this. Presidents inject themselves into the cultural issues of their days. God knows Obama was all over it with homosexuals and trannies. Reagan was all about the greatness of America vs. the evils of the Soviet Union.
Unless Trump has signed a law or an EO outlawing kneeling in the NFL, I don’t think Rush has much to worry over here.
Rush: The point that I was making was that I don’t want to get to a point where if a president doesn’t like the way people are behaving, that he can call the people that own that business and make ’em behave the way he wants. I’m not suggesting that’s happening here.
Rush didn't say anything bad about Trump. He's thinking past Trump to a possible President Sanders, President Biden or President Booker.
Rush is getting weak in the knees.
Rush’s recent aphrodisiac affecting his thinking?
The one thing Rush has rarely, if ever, done is made a call to action. He states the way things should be, but he never makes a call to action. He tries never to cross that line. For business purposes that makes sense, but for purposes of making change it is cowardice.
Trump isn’t a coward.
Trump didn't make anybody do anything. He merely tweeted and more people paid attention.
The people paying attention didn't like what they saw either and there are a lot of those people.
With their dollars and their TV remotes, those people, of which I am one, have spoken with basic revenue math:
(Entertainment + Politics) = (Audience/2)
And the NFL, an institution whose mission is to make money from football fans, decided, finally, to open their rule book and re-read what it says about players respecting flag and the national anthem.
All President Donald J. Trump did was to speak from his bully pulpit about the obvious in an effort to help the NFL and its players to regain some sanity.
Works for me. "Please, sir, may I have another."
