President Trump asks NFL players to recommend people for pardons

President Trump has railed against NFL players who took a knee during the playing of the national anthem as unpatriotic over the last two years while ignoring the stated reasons for the protests but that changed a bit on Friday.

Those reasons center on inequality in the treatment of minorities by law enforcement in the United States and the President said during a press gathering ahead of his trip to the G-7 meeting that players have “seen a lot of abuse, they’ve seen a lot of unfairness” during their lives. He also invited players to make known people they think have been treated unfairly and promised to look into those cases.

“I’m going to ask all of those people to recommend to me — because that’s what they’re protesting — people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. And I understand that. I’m going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated and I’m gonna take a look at those applications and if I find and my committee finds that they’ve been unfairly treated than we’ll pardon them. Or at least let them out.”

There’s no way to pardon or let out people who are dead after run-ins with law enforcement, of course. Those deaths and the response to those deaths by law enforcement agencies and the justice system are a major part of what spurred the protests in the first place and were not addressed by the President on Friday.

I wonder if any of them are the ones who gave him the idea to pardon Muhammed Ali?

Naw I dont think any of them are THAT dumb

Time for the players to put up or shut up.

Here is your chance to make a real difference.

Can they also make recommendations as to which cops should be stripped of their badges and thrown in prison? That’s the bigger crime. These crooked cops that murder, get paid leave, then get put back on the squad.

If the players put up and then Trump puts up the the players will have to shut up.....the lefies don't want that and they will try to deter them from meeting with Trump cause the liberal lie may be uncovered as just that.

He will never stop banging this gong because it keeps his Trumpanzees exercised.
I can't wait for the rest of the world to catch up- and stop giving this 3 year-old the attention he pathologically craves.

Best line of the article is this, right here:



The entire point of CK's demonstration in the first place.
Once again, we (all of us) have allowed him to make this all about him.

This was never about some stupid flag... and he's just proven it with this new emptyass gesture. All of this crap is just as hollow as he his.

Anything to dictate the news of the day.
Offensive in the extreme.

Very well stated...

I hope the players see this for what it is,, a cheap attempt by a cry baby president to repair damage that he causes with his caustic and childish remarks..

Once again, this president doesn't care at all about the Constitution. If he did, he'd know better than to try and shame people into giving up their rights.

I laughed out loud.

Of course you did. Thats what Liberals do. Whine and cry.

Laugh out loud = whine and cry.






Logic is your Kryptonite, isn't it?

I know you've said in the past that having a job has prevented you from understanding how to operate Google, but I would invest the time. Once you've got the grasp of it, Google the word "laugh"; then try "whine" and "cry".

As you all whine and cry that the precious flag is being disrespected.

Laughable.

The Police and Soldiers stand with a salute as the American people remove their hats and place hands upon hearts at the playing of our Nations Anthem.

Others who want us to listen to their story of victim hood, laugh and spew and kneel at our foolishness.

Now given a chance to make a real difference in the world with the power of Presidential Pardon, they laugh and spew and kneel at our foolishness.

We awaken.

Why do you hate this country so much?

They don't argue in good faith. They don't even understand the concept.

As absurd a question as your choice of president.

Who is "they"?

The people who pretend like Trump and his adjacent politics are valid.

You rejoice when people protest the flag, the military, the soldiers, the men and women who died for your right to say stupid things. I stand by my statement you hate this country.

Trump hasn't done many things smart but this is one of them.

As a nation, we have a dialogue problem. No one wants to talk. Everyone wants to gripe and moan.

I'd love to see a few players take him up on this.

You’ve heard nothing anyone has posted if you still believe this is about the damn flag, military, soldiers, etc.
Keep your head in the sand for all I care.

Stop feeding the trolls bro. These loathsome troglodytes are crawling out of their holes because Trump empowers them... Trumps days are numbered and the crap he's doing will be fixed soon enough. Now way this crap stands when Trump is gone, not even a remote chance.

Babbling nonsense.

No one is protesting the flag or the troops. That's Fox News grandpa baby food stuff.

You either understand that or you're contributing to the problem.

This guys is as unpresidential as it could possibly get. On some level I dig that but man sometimes he wants to be liked so bad it's cringey.

"On some level I dig that he's a senile moron, but sometimes it's embarrassing."

DT’s prison recidivism rate has to be 100% lmao

The dumbest and angriest people.

Their lives are reactionary.

Well it’s certainly a reflection of the current administration.

I often wonder if people tell him to say these things, or does Trump come up with it all on his own.

Trump is a dumb and broken racist loser.

He attracts the same.

Pssstttt buddy I don't remove my hat for the National Anthem.

Our precious flag means a lot to a very many people. Because it means nothing to guy like you and Pdf is sad. VFW's around the country are not showing NFL games because a bunch of crybabies are unable to show any respect. You and PDF are always claiming to be smart, maybe you can give me a couple of instances of " Social Injustice "

jc

Have any NFL players recommended someone for pardon?

Not that i know of, They're probably of fighting social injustice with PDF.

Not that I know of, they're probably off fighting social injustice with PDF.

That comment had you so triggered you had to post it twice, huh?

Computer acting up, but yes you guys can trigger me. Might be a vast left wing conspiracy

All you lefties are so much smarter and better educated you're probably messing with my computer. or Could be the Russians.

Could be.

Thats generally the case

As a civilian, I do think it's expected that you remove your hat and place your hand over your heart.

As a former Marine, I stand at the position of attention.
