a crime punishable by a fine or up to 15 years in prison or both, for the president, as well as members of Congress and other federal officials, to influence or threaten to influence a private company’s hiring practices “solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation.”

Yea, cause that never happens.

on another note :
Republican Groups ask for an investigation of Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the Obama cabinet.

They didn’t ask the Department of Justus to investigate Obonzo’s attack on gun owners. What the hell is wrong with these pinheads?

I think you must misunderstand my intent. If unsure, you should ask instead of knee jerk name calling. It’s a liberal tactic. I love the game of football. I am actually a coach (10 - 11 Years old) and I played in college. I have been a very loyal fan for as long as I can recall.

Here is what is great about the game.

Football is the ultimate team sport. When played as a team, every individual makes a crucial contribution on most plays. Every player has an individual battle that they must win for the success of the team on each play. The team must communicate and work together to define those battles. Every player has a job to do. And each player has talents and contributions that are unique to their position and sometimes even the play or strategy of the team.

It is a tough sport. It is physically demanding and sometimes painful. It is also a test of mental fortitude and stamina. It takes a certain level of commitment to push through exhaustion and physical stress on behalf of the team. It pits boys and men against each other in a swarming hostile environment to physically dominate opponents on behalf of their team. It forces individuals to measure their own self worth based on their contribution. It is a gloriously brutal and violent test of grit, play after play. The preparation, conditioning, effort and practice that is required to just participate is more demanding than many most other team sports.

And participation comes with risk. There is a risk of injury. There is a risk of failure. So it also takes courage. Launching your body into another person and accelerating through contact, instead of bracing for it, is NOT a natural human tendency. Learning the proper techniques to do this (fundamentals) takes years of practice to perfect and is essential as the competition gets stronger and faster, at a minimum, for the players own safety.

So please do not take my frustration posts and rants as a dig on football. I am upset and disappointed in the NFL and the players. I am upset that they let politics and liberal ideology ensnare and enslave them. And now they are reaping what they sow. Their chickens have come home to roost. I pray that they find their way back to what makes the game great and can let me enjoy that game without being reminded of politics.

In short, Trump set up an elephant-sized political trap and the NFL and their allies on the Left went right into it--full speed ahead.

And the NFL forgot their fan base is very politically Conservative, too. In short, it exposed the Left for the fools that they really are.

The question is will Jeff Sessions call for the investigation and then recuse himself.

Maybe President Trump should use the IRS to look into the players, and the owners, financial records for inconsistencies?

Whoop di doo...words mean things AND, in the spirit of my Free Speech, I'm very much ok with what I've posted to your post.

Just to be clear what President Trump actually said at the rally in Alabama:

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He is fired. He's fired!'"

I have no idea as to the political affiliation of those kneeling during the National Anthem. < whistles innocently>

Whiny and delusional... what a combination.

Take the red pill guys - the problems in the black community are caused by choices made in the black community. It's NOT Jim Crow - it's NOT 1964 - it's NOT the police ... it's violent out-of-control criminals in the black community.

AND

The rest of us are tired of paying higher taxes and having to buy our own security systems so police can spend their money, resources and efforts babysitting the black community.

Take the red pill... Black men are 6% of the population - - they murder 42% of all cops killed in the line of duty over the last decade.

Partisan political affiliation has nothing to do with it. Unless the democrats are saying that it is a fact that anyone that hates America, her flag and national anthem are without a doubt acting on the democrat party agenda.
