While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto Vice President Michael R. Pence, Esq. walks out after the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” before the beginning of the National Football League game between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers.  Between ten to fifteen 49er players were knelling in protest against the wanton killings of U.s. subject/enemy/citizens by the nation’s statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law): “I left today’s Colts game because … I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.”

       NOTES:

  • The cost to the U.s. treasury for Pence’s publicity stunt was estimated in excess of 325,000 “dollars.”
  • As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Pence was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
