A certain someone lies about business
August 10, 2018 at 1:15 pm
Someone (*cough*) just made the bullshit claim that NFL players make most of the money.
BULLSHIT...... While some are millionaires, most of the players are not. The owners ARE billionaires. And those 32 billionaires make most of their money, not from just ticket sales, but through MERCHANDISING, licencing agreements through media use and advertising.
The players DO NOT make more than the billionaire owners.
But what should we expect?

In addition, billionaires have the advantage of not being routinely jumped on by gorillas in hobnailed boots.

I don't see how anyone can stand "proudly" for the anthem when that fucking piece of treacherous shit is occupying the white house.
When he's behind bars THAT will be something to be proud of.

Chris Rock had a bit in which he contrasted 'rich' and 'wealthy': Shaquille O'Neal is rich. The guy who signs Shaq's checks is wealthy.

Not sure what you mean by this so some clarification? Not trying to be sarcastic, or mean, I really am lost on this.
Separately though as a mere statement in general, not for this post, but in general.
Nobody should have a problem with wealth, not whites or blacks. But abuse of power over the past 36 years has caused the pay gap between the top and bottom and that economic anxiety has made it easier for one party to keep the country divided.

*coughs in socialist* Private property is theft *coughs in socialist*
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Just a response to Trump's nonsense that the players make all the money.
Essentially, I'm agreeing with you. And I never miss an opportunity to gratuitously insert Chris Rock or George Carlin into conversations.
Carry on.

Not the point. The point is nobody should be ignoring him or tolerating him. His rhetoric is dangerous and he is unfit and should not be in office.
