Looks like several government groups are starting to look into these sorts of egregious abuses of taxpayer money. From WaPo: ======== Inspectors general have opened at least five investigations into charter or military flights by Cabinet officials amounting to millions in federal spending. Their decisions to veer away from cheaper commercial flights have led to criticism from Democrats in Congress and government accountability groups about a culture of entitlement in Trump’s administration. ======== Trump's people, filling the swamp with ever more taxpayer cash.

Yeah, so when we see the Cowboys' players stand up for the anthem because they're being forced to, we'll know that they really do respect it. Wait, what? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Who knows what the NFL will do, but the Dallas Cowboys already have their own rule. Kneel and you don't play. And they're allowed to do that. It'd be interesting to see what happens if players keep kneeling... I'm betting it wouldn't take too many forfeited matches due to too-few players for them to revise their policy. What's going to be worse for their bottom line? Allowing players to kneel during the national anthem and losing a few fans, or not playing any matches?
