He wasn’t fired for being anti-Trump. It was for being stupid. There’s a difference.

“Liberal sports reporters, 1 down, thousands to go.”

Keep boycotting them and eventually their advertisers will cancel their ads.

And the point is what? We are supposed to feel sorry for him? What the heck?

I'll play along...how many people died as the result of Trump being inaugurated? Yep, no doubt about it: zero compared to thousands of Americans killed on 12/7/1944 and 9/11/2011.

That's not being stupid, that's what I call "breathtakingly stupid."

He was probably on George $oreA$$’s payroll and got fired for his loyalty to $oreA$$.

We just keep winning.

People think they can say anything on social media and nothing bad will happen.

Why are these people so out of touch with human suffering?

Have their emotional IQ’s been distorted by prescription drugs?
