The important point is he's said players are free to stand, kneel, and do whatever and he'll cover any fines or penalties. He's the only one who has responded to this situation in a way that I respect at all.

I'm on facebook daily (I'm bored and unemployed) and holy poo poo I'm constantly having to correct what is the result of blatant propaganda. poo poo where you dig a few layers deep and it's all from russian twitter bots as the only real source. For example, a shitstorm over a truck stop in my home town taking down the flag to repair a flagpole turned into a rant that's gotten over 2 million views calling for a boycott of all flying Js because the russian botnet got ahold of that and said the flags were pulled down because they were offensive to immigrants.

Another one that listens to way too much infowars is posting things like 1 in 4 jews owned slaves and that they controlled 75% of the slave trade (all bullshit claims from noted antisemitic book The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews), but people see this poo poo and believe it. I had to tell my step mother that George Soros was not a loving nazi soldier in WW2. The disinformation engine is loving strong and there are millions of people in this country that bite the line and run with it.

to be fair, it happens on both sides. its not just disinformation that supports the conservative viewpoint, but also stuff that supports the liberal one. For example https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kkk-ad-front-page/

That, in and of itself, is part of the strategy Russia uses in US markets. Post-Vegas shooting, there were Russian bots pushing simultaneous narratives that antifa did it, a muslim did it, a nazi did it, a white supremacist did it, etc. The ones that stick and get passed around then get amplified and ones that don't get traction are left to die on the vine.

My beef is with people who refuse to acknowledge this, because to acknowledge this apparently means insulting the president.

Oh yeah they absolutely push poo poo from the far left and fund people like Stein in many of the same ways they go to bat for Trump. That's the whole point - sow discord in such a way to push people towards a particular goal and/or general disruption.

I’m gonna buy all of those summit challenge coins when they inevitably end up on EBay to help Trump pay his legal fees.

Then I’m going to melt them down and pour them into a die of Kim Jong-Un buttfucking a grimacing Trump with an ICBM and sell the miniature statues to raise money for local Democratic candidates.
