It's backfired only in the minds of people who are so conceited to arrive at the conclusion that it's a disrespect to the country, and the free speech that it's founded on. Furthermore, if you're going to make one assumption after another about why I support anyone's right to protest, don't expect me to take you seriously. You already make it difficult to see what you say in a charitable light.

And there's plenty of football fans who aren't racist. But they're not getting upset or making a scene over how much the protest upsets them. Food for thought.

It's like I said: you peer into the depths of people's souls to find their true protest, and ignore everyone that uses their eyes and ears to discover the true intentions and actual consequence.

It's totally overlooked in the minds of people that think they have a pretty good idea of how people unlike them think and feel. Why think hard when everybody that doesn't already agree with you are "conceited" and taking too many assumptions? It's like I said: you peer into the depths of people's souls to find their true protest, and ignore everyone that uses their eyes and ears to discover the true intentions and actual consequence.

The sad thing is that nothing about that is exceptional.

We have seen so many cases of blatant corruption out of Trump and his family in this presidency (And it isn't even a year old!). Corruption scandals which would have removed any other politician in any other western country just deflect off of trump for some reason. His base simply does not care.

I don't understand how you can be fine with corruption in your politicians. Corruption is obviously bad for the country, and it also proves that they put themselves personally ahead of their countries interests, which makes them bad politicians. Corruption ruins countries more strongly than basically anything else, and it is incredibly hard to get rid of it once it takes root.

Also, how can Kushners intention be what moves it from a federal crime and not a federal crime? Doesn't that mean it is never a federal crime, as i can't see how you could prove that something like that is intentional? As long as he isn't even more stupid and wrote down "I did this intentionally to gain corrupt money! Signed Jared Kushner, Also using my family Seal", he can always just claim "Oops, i totally forgot that million dollar company, and then i forgot that i forgot to mention it when i made millions of dollars with it"
