And then I'll let go this whole business of Our Only Available President (and his propaganda ministry) continuing to misrepresent the respectful NFL player protests by playing the phony Disrespecting America card.
The latest in this farcical bit of political theater comes from the Propaganda Ministry itself, aka FOX "News," which ran photos of Eagles tight end Zach Ertz kneeling with his head bowed and claimed the Eagles were part of the player protests. Turns out, they weren't. Turns out, Ertz was just doing what he always does before games.
He was kneeling in prayer.
The Propaganda Ministry immediately mimicked Emily Litella of SNL fame: "Well. That's very different." And it apologized, because kneeling in prayer is completely A-OK.
Which makes the Blob once again shake its head in wonder at what a profoundly absurd country this has become.
You see, a lot of the players Our Only Available President and his minions have smeared as un-American were doing exactly what Zach Ertz does: Kneeling with their heads bowed.
In prayer.
For a country they supposedly hate.
In other words: It's perfectly acceptable to kneel with your head bowed in prayer. But only at a time approved by OOAP and his Propaganda Ministry. And only if you're praying for the right reasons, which do not include in protest over people of color getting shot in situations where they shouldn't be getting shot.
This sends the quite reasonable message that America is not perfect and can do better. But in the world of OOAP and his fellow travelers, that is simply unacceptable.
What a country. What a crazy, crazy country.
