So many folks responded like trained seals to the singing of the national anthem at a football game last night that it was trending on X.
The spectacle included millionaire players weeping, a live captive eagle on the premises, and a B-2 bomber flyover. (I could help rebuild the lives of a whole lot of people with the $2 billion wasted on that progeny of corporate welfare and manufactured fear.)
