As much of black America contemplates burning President Donald Trump in effigy over his epic denunciation of the “son of a bitch” athletes that don’t respect the flag, the man who has driven the left to madness has struck again.

Not content to disinvite mealy-mouthed multimillionaire NBA superstar Steph Curry from visiting the White House with the champion Golden State Warriors, Trump blasted out two more tweets on Saturday afternoon that are guaranteed to bring howls of hate from wealthy black athletes who insist on trashing the country in which they have gotten rich for playing a game.

If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL,or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect….

…our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to do!

The tweets come after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ripped the President’s “divisive” comments at Friday night’s campaign rally but he likely only alienated more fans who are tired of the antics of those who have become disciples of a marginal quarterback who has somehow been transformed into a messianic figure.

It’s early and there are already calls for massive protests during Sunday’s games but it would seem that Trump has the moral high ground here, especially after Goodell picked sides and threw in with the malcontents.

If Goodell wants this to be the hill that he is prepared to die on, he may soon get his wish because his defense of the troublemakers has the potential to backfire big time and take his entire league down with him.

Perhaps the loudest of all the voices on the left demanding the removal from office of President Donald Trump is California Rep. Maxine “Impeach 45!” Waters.

The Democrat congresswoman was talking up the idea of impeachment yet again on Thursday while addressing the Congressional Black Caucus Town Hall on Civil Rights, according to CNS News, and seemed to dismiss those who’ve asked her what specific crimes should be the basis for Trump’s impeachment.

“Impeachment is about whatever the Congress says it is. There is no law that dictates impeachment,” Waters asserted. “What the Constitution says is ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ and we define that.”

“Bill Clinton got impeached because he lied,” she continued. “Here you have a president, who I can tell you and guarantee you is in collusion with the Russians to undermine our democracy. Here you have a president who obstructed justice. And here you have a president who lies every day.”

Unsurprisingly, Waters got a little bit right and a whole lot wrong with her remarks about impeachment being whatever Congress decides it will be.

Law Newz, citing constitutional scholar and Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, explained that “high crime and misdemeanors” was a carefully crafted phrase that referred not to the seriousness of any specific crime but to the nature of an offense committed by a president.

At the time of the drafting of the Constitution, the term “high” referred to “government” or “official,” with the whole phrase essentially covering any action “performed in an official capacity by a government official that violates the basic principles of government.”

Also, the impeachment process is an inherently political one, not criminal, thus it is indeed up to Congress to determine what exactly constitutes a “high crime or misdemeanor.” Still, the rather high bar of a supermajority was put in place for both impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate to guard against “arbitrary and capricious actions” by politically motivated members bent on ousting a president they don’t like.

However, Waters was also wrong on a few things too, according to PJ Media, such as her assertion that “there is no law” dictating impeachment, as that would actually be Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution, which states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Having already explained the purposefully vague definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” we turn to “treason,” which is explicitly defined as law in the Constitution, as well as “bribery,” which is also a specific crime dictated by statute.

Trump hasn’t committed treason — no matter how much Democrats may howl otherwise — nor has any evidence proving bribery ever been put forward, and none of the talk about “collusion” with Russia  or Trump’s supposed “obstruction of justice” comes anywhere close to either of those specific crimes.

As an aside, Waters was also wrong in her assertion that former President Bill Clinton was impeached for “lying,” as he actually faced — and survived — an impeachment effort over “perjury,” the very specific crime of lying under oath, something she, as a member of Congress, should know and take pretty seriously.

In the end, Maxine Waters has shown that she really doesn’t fully understand the concept of impeachment or constitutional law, and has simply revealed yet again that, in her bitter hatred for all things Trump, she will indeed simply make up whatever crime she thinks necessary to remove the president from office.

Once again, the Founding Fathers should be thanked for their prescience in crafting the impeachment process in such a way as to prevent “arbitrary and capricious” members of Congress from easily ousting a president they don’t like for no real reason at all.

The liberal outrage du jour is that President Trump called former NFLer Colin Kaepernick a “son of a bitch.” To liberals, the disgraced anti-American cop-hating loser who dipshitted his way out of a lucrative football career is a hero and any criticism against him is a hate crime. The thing is, Trump didn’t say this about Kaepernick but the left is too stupid to understand what anything means. If it comes out of Trump’s mouth, they simply freak out.

The President was in Alabama at a rally for Senator Luther Strange and the subject of NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem was on his mind. He told the crowd that “we respect the flag.” Then he said this:

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say ‘get that son of a bitch off the field right now’?” Trump asked.

I know I would love to see that. Because Colin Kaepernick is famous, and unemployed, for taking a knee during the National Anthem, liberals have lost their mind that Trump called him an “SOB.”

Liberal website Raw Story has several stories about this. One is titled Trump calls Colin Kaepernick a ‘son of a b*tch’ during Alabama stump speech and two others are dedicated to the internet outrage over this.

While campaigning for Alabama Senate runoff candidate, President Donald Trump reportedly went on a tangent in which he referred to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as a “son of a b*tch.

Go back and look at the words Trump said. Does he mention Colin Kaepernick at all? No, he doesn’t. In another post on Raw Story, it suddenly becomes a reference to Kaepernick:

After President Donald Trump alluded to controversial former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “son of a b*tch” during a rally in Alabama, Twitter exploded.

Well no, he didn’t allude to Kaepernick either and here’s why: In Trump’s scenario he would love to see an owner throw a player off the field for disrespecting the National Anthem. Colin Kaepernick is not a player; he’s unemployed. An owner wouldn’t throw him off the field because no owner would have him on the field.

Trump is clearly talking about one of the other disrespectful current NFL players who also sit during the National Anthem. He doesn’t name names, but there is no way in hell he’s talking about a guy who is standing in the unemployment line.

Don’t get me wrong, I wish Trump would have called Kaepernick out by name, but he didn’t. The President should have slammed the out-of-work agitator for being a lowlife loser and given him a nickname like “Crapernick” or “Afro Man.” There’s really no reason for Trump to have held back on Kaepernick since liberals are already accusing him of an attack that never happened.

Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice may want to rethink her criticism of President Donald Trump’s fierce speech at the United Nations General Assembly this week, given we now know at least one world leader agrees with what he said.

Following Trump’s speech Monday, during which he criticized former President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran as “one-sided” and an “embarrassment,” Rice complained the president was “acting like a spoiled child.”

“We could begin a process of dialogue on what comes next after the deal,” she said during an appearance Wednesday on MSNBC, as reported by The Daily Caller. “But we can’t do that when hurling threats, when threatening to walk out, when acting like a spoiled child at the dinner table.

“So opening that relationship, having that dialogue, working with those on our side who want to negotiate the Iran deal to think about what may come afterwards is very useful,” she added.

Actually, “what may come afterward” in the case of the Iran nuclear deal is a nuclear armed Iran in 10 years or so — which is bad enough. But Trump is more concerned with what’s happening now.

“It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran’s government end its pursuit of death and destruction,” he said in his U.N. speech on Tuesday. “It is time for the regime to free all Americans and citizens of other nations that they have unjustly detained. And above all, Iran’s government must stop supporting terrorists, begin serving its own people, and respect the sovereign rights of its neighbors.”

Listen to the president’s tough words about Iran below:

And, lo and behold, French President Emmanuel Macron apparently agrees.

According to Reuters, the same day Rice criticized Trump, Macron admitted Obama’s nuclear deal is severely lacking, especially considering the nation’s continued malicious influence in the region, as well as its continued ballistic missile tests.

“Is this agreement enough?” he asked rhetorically while speaking with reporters in New York. “No. It is not, given the evolution of the regional situation and increasing pressure that Iran is exerting on the region, and given increased activity by Iran on the ballistic level since the accord.”

This doesn’t mean Macron wants Trump to walk away from the deal. Like most world leaders, he wants the United States to remain a party to the agreement. However, unlike Rice, who thinks she knows better, Macron recognizes the deal as it stands just doesn’t cut it.

Here’s the truth: Recognizing the truth about the Iran deal doesn’t make Trump a “spoiled child.” It makes him a true leader — something neither Rice nor her former boss know anything about.
