Goodell on Kaepernick kneeling in 2017: "We believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. We want to honor our flag and our country and our fans expect that of us. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress."

GOP's plan to "Balance the budget" means protect:
•Corporate welfare
•Bloated military budget
•Trump $2.1T billionaire tax cuts
But cut:
•HeadStart
•Cancer research
•Housing subsidies
•Toxic waste cleanups
•LIHEAP, NASA, SSA, EPA, DOJ
•Nutrition aid for pregnant moms
😐
Boy math is GOP cuts $2.1T in taxes for billionaires over 10 years, while billionaires underpay $163B in taxes/year ($1.63T over 10 years) which is $3.73T into the pockets of billionaires—but GOP wants to balance the budget by cutting Medicaid, Social Security, & school lunches🤔
if/when i'm 90, i hope i'm not so arrogant and desperate to cling to whatever power i've crafted that i forsake my family, friends, comfort, and peace to maintain it.
