Need some new blood

I believe our president is not much more than a shameless pathological liar, and what’s worse is our senators and congressmen are spineless and don’t have the fortitude to stand up to this man. It was breathtaking to watch President

Trump emerge from his meeting in Singapore, acting like a spokesman for

North Korea.

This is the same skill he used in his business, resulting in six bankruptcies. He gave everything away, and agreed to suspend military exercises with South Korea, while North Korea has an estimated 2,800 artillery pieces aimed south. This was nothing more than a thinly veiled ego trip.

We can no longer claim to be a Christian nation when we treat the “least among us” as animals and keep them in cages, separated from their mothers. Where is the outrage?

Our senators and congressmen have voted in lockstep with this president, leading to a trillion-dollar deficit. The illusory tax cut has been eaten up by inflation. The trade wars are wiping out any economic gain we had hoped to see.

Nearly half of Americans cannot afford basic necessities, food, shelter or medical care, yet Congress is considering a bill which includes $25 billion for an unneeded wall and sending millions to Iraq when we have people starving at home. This is all borrowed money.

We simply cannot depend on our elected officials to represent us against this out-of-control administration. Hopefully we can find some new political leaders who will lead us back to a better time.
