    Default CNN has fake headlines about NFL

    CNN headlines claim Trump is "demanding" that athletes get fired. I have searched the internet for his "demand", but can only find a question. Can one of you lefties here post the "demand" that CNN headlines claim?

    "Demanding" just means insistent or authoritative.

    He tweeted "fire or suspend!" basically as a command, and encouraged a boycott if the owners did not. It's a hairsplit to claim that isn't "demanding."

    Kind of telling when one has to resort to semantics to defend the President, going to tell is next it's all about conjunctive verbs, that didn't work too good last time

    And, of course, you can't refute anything I said.

    Thanks, though, for the intelligent contribution.

    All Trump and the GOP have are their semantic word games.

    It's only fitting their minions be relegated to using the same deceptive tricks to make their points.

    but he didn't demand right?

    And where were you when Harry Reid was trying to get Rush Limbaugh kicked off of the air? Oh yeah, you were cheerleading.

    Where were you when Obama was constantly bashing Fox News? Oh yeah, you were cheerleading.

    Thanks for your faux concern

    He dumbs them down as he insults them.

    "I could stand on New York’s Fifth Avenue “and shoot somebody” and still not lose voters."

    Even he knows his voters are brainless lemmings .. and he tells them that to their face .. and they still support him.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    "Fire or Suspend!"

    Sounds pretty demanding to me.
