    First sitting president to ever waste his time going to the fucking super bowl.

    I mean, Presidents have been going to sporting events practically since they were invented. The Seventh Inning Stretch came out of Calvin Coolidge showing up incredibly late to a baseball game. It’s crazy for someone who needs the security detail of a President to get into and out of a location as insecure as stadium box seats. But that’s more a logistical hurdle than a cultural one.

    Its the genocide I object to. Its the concentration camps on the border and the bombs dropped across the Middle East. Its the gutting of health care and mass transit and financial regulations I find disconcerting. Going to the Super Bowl is the least bad thing Trump’s done since taking office.
