Here are some incidences that were not widely reported, maybe because they may not fit the accepted National news narrative.

If you think the issue is police vs race, then you ARE missing the point. Pointing out instances of profiling and abuse on the part of police is not anti-police; it’s anti-racism. False accusations do not invalidate the issue, and the fact that they exist doesn’t mean there are two sides.

Mayor of Philadelphia on Trump: “our President is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend.”

Would have been great if the players who didn't want to go, instead choose to show up and kneel during the anthem right in front of him!

-C!

Here is an opportunity for a president (cough::Obama::cough) to mention that although we want to celebrate a shared cultural experience, we can be divided on how to do just that.   And then, you know, hand out the rings.  Instead?  Trump once again makes it about himself.  If individuals don't accept his terms 100%, then he'll be a baby and turn it upside down. Where Obama would turn this into a celebration of American diversity and independence, Trump instead turns it into a referendum on himself.  That's what it is. He's a child.  Plain and simple.

Trump above America.

He's a president without regard for history. What is being more American than standing up for what you believe in without fear of repercussions that will surely come?  That should be celebrated rather than marginalized.  That, above all, is what it means to be American.  

But not in Trumpland.  Nuh uh.  Oppose and it's considered an insult and insults must be dealt with in the harshest of terms.  Follow lock step with your hand above your heart as if that means jack shit except to the 35% base of Americans you're trying to cull for your reelection campaign.  

Fucking sad and, quite frankly, embarrassing. 

The last 6 Presidents from Carter to Obama may have done things that people disagreed with domestically and internationally, but these 6 men all did believe in the Office of the President and had respect for it, stood by their people, and understood their fundamental duty to protect and defend the constitutional order and the rule of law.
