Sound Off for September 27, 2017

Money in your pocket

All former NFL fans should be thankful to the disrespectful, unpatriotic players claiming to be kneeling for a cause. The former fans are saving themselves millions of dollars on useless merchandise and tickets.

Convenient political distraction

Kneeling wouldn’t be a problem to Trump if people were kneeling to him. He uses bullet points like kneeling as a diversion from how close the FBI is to indicting the entire Trump organization.

A pox upon them all

Professional football should be banned and Trump muzzled.

Maybe the question answers itself

How can someone that just had a brain tumor removed be allowed to make life changing decisions that affect the lives of the United States?

Kicking the can

Mitchie McConnell and Paulie Ryan are smart. Instead of Trumpcare taking the hit for higher health insurance premiums or no medical coverage, they are passing the buck to the governors.

Disheartening refutation

I keep saying we are a better country than this, and Trump & Co. keep proving me wrong.
