Notice NBPA explores next step toward potentially boycotting games

My personal hope is that this becomes something that every city that has any kind of arena or stadium will do.
Not just NBA.
NFL, MLB, NSL, NHL, All NCAA, NASCAR, Every city and town everywhere!

 

As well as schools and college campus buildings..

 

There is no candidate for “change” currently running. Biden and Copmala are more entrenched in the good ol’ boy club that the orange man himself.

 

Anybody running against Trump is a massive candidate for change

 

You talk badly about a thirst for ratings, yet the talking points you repeat are those of the big media outlets who stoke the fires in this country.

 

I don't watch TV johnnyboy...nor care what the media is parroting.......I take this affront on the constitution and dishonesty from Trump seriously...it's no media spin game....I worked in message processing under Nixon...I know the game they play pretty well...my advice...Trump has to go at all costs...and there's no reasonable doubt....listen to his words...see his actions...it's all you need to be informed about this election. It's not up for debate as far as I'm concerned. Bring on the vote. I'd honestly vote for Dick Cheney over Trump and I can't stand Dick Cheney

 

That was in Minneapolis from what I understand.

 

Anyone thinking Biden is going to bring some great change....

i have a bridge to sell ya.

 

Nope not huge change. But i will for sure expect going back to being stable at least. Then i would look for him to only run one term.

 

im not really sure what stable is anymore.

do you mean economically? Socially?

The social unrest is what i dont believe will change. The inequalities will still be there.
I think people put way too much into rhe president making changes

if we want real change it starts locally. Politics dont trickle down. They trickle up. Movements don't start with a president. They start with the people. The people need to vote in local leaders that share the same agendas and then those local leaders will make a much larger impact on federal legislation as states put more pressure on the feds.

changeIng the head at the top will do nothing for the guys beyond the curtains pulling the strings. Need to get rid of those holding the strings.

 

I absolutely agree with this. I know it to be true.

 

You’ve put in more years on this planet than I have. You’ve got more life experience than me and I respect that, really. But I just cannot see the logic in the “at all costs” message. The never Trump movement has become cult-like at this point. I don’t like him either, I think he’s a pretty big douche as a person. But he hasn’t started a war that killed a million people like Bush and Cheney did (with Biden’s help). He hasn’t dragged us into Iran like Hillary so badly wanted to do (and Biden probably will). He didn’t turn Libya into and open slave trade. He hasn’t further agitated the war in Syria. He’s pulled troops out of Afghanistan. He’s pulled troops out of Iraq.

At what point does tweeting unsavory things and being an asshole become worse than killing human beings for a profit? Dick Cheney? Seriously!?

I’m sorry but I cannot and will not accept this line of thinking. This mainstream “talk nice and it’s ok to bomb people” news feed is horseshit. Veil it in as many vague metaphors and platitudes as you like. I’m sorry but I’m not drinking that kool aid. Go ahead and say “you love trump” all you want, I don’t really give a shit at this point. That seems to be the only response the never trump zombies can come up with (not necessarily calling you one). They suddenly become hostile when people dare to bring up Biden and Harris’ HORRENDOUS histories of lobbying for war and imprisoning people. Trump is a fuck but he didn’t send your friend’s and neighbor’s kids to go die for nothing. He didn’t write the crime bill that targeted minorities and he didn’t send parents to jail over truancy. Kids in cages? Ask Obama, he started the policy.

I’ll take the mean tweets.

 

Trump is instigating civil war.....enabling division on domestic grounds and he's given Iran the freedom to escalate nukes...Russia and China the go to to expand their military, etc...it's the future with this guy....Dick Cheney is an asshole...I was being snarky using his name...but war hasn't stopped...Trump did throw our allies under the bus though...see the Kurds for one...before Trump the dictators of the world feared us...since Trump they laugh at us....nothing to do with twitter...Russias navy armed with warheads is in Cuba and Venezuela and Syria now...that wasn't happening....China invaded northern India and used force in Hong Kong...that wouldn't have happened under any other president....like I said...the seeds sown by Trump have weakened our standing in the world and divided our country...and that has fuck all to do with the media or partisan bickering...it has to do with a severe lack of awareness and diplomacy on the global stage. Russians paid to assassinate our soldiers in Afghanistan...what did Trump do.....went golfing...Mexico is sending us their murderers and rapists! yeah...he's distanced us from Mexico and Canada too. You can live with it...your choice....I'm not going to lie down and be quiet seeing what's transpired in less than 4 years....he's shredded the constitution and made lying the new norm

 

This didn’t happen. It was never substantiated, not a single shred of evidence. You won’t even be able provide any evidence because there is none.

The rest of what you said are poor excuses for a country that postures around the world, rapes and pillages the weak and murders their people for resources. There hasn’t been a noble military act in this country since we liberated the concentration camps. Don’t even pretend.

 

oxymoron....if you have no evidence to the contrary...not a shred in fact. I've read several articles that say it has. I'm not pro war and I agree most war is not noble...never said it was but it's really not noble when you gas your own citizens to have a photo op at a church or call peaceful black protesters "thugs".....enabling divisions at home is a bad, bad precedent....and if not for our presence in the Pacific....my wife's home country wouldn't exist today....Taiwan relies on the Pacific Alliance to protect it from Chinese invasion...has since long after WWII....without our global presence their would have been a lot more genocide around the world as well.....I did my tour in a war zone and never saw the rape and murder you talk about although I heard it did happen, it wasn't the culture of our soldiers to conduct themselves that way..a lot of vets deserve more respect than to be lumped into some psycho's rampages and I honor our prisoners of war like John McCain as well....this guy called him a coward basically and you can be assured that like Trump and his hurricane map...the Pentagon can and will protect itself with a sharpie as well...burying any bad press ....damage control 101

 

It might and probably will take more than 20 years but yes, we should head in that direction. The question is small increments or rapid change. I'm leaning toward small increments.

 

Military intelligence disagrees with you and that's powerful evidence.
