In Putin he trusts
President Donald Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin reassured him that neither he nor any of his acquaintances ever conspired to rig our election last year. So there you have it— case closed. Trump’s legacy is secure and, what’s more, those witch hunters from the New York Times and the Washington Post are proven to be guilty of spreading fake news.
In no uncertain terms, our leader has informed us that anyone who believes the press is a co- conspirator, along with James Comey and Robert Mueller, in trying to undermine the greatest president to ever grace the Oval Office. He has the keenest mind, the sharpest wit and the very best memory ever.
I for one will rest easier tonight knowing that the world is in the capable hands of leaders like Trump, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. Now if we can only get that cowpoke from Alabama elected, we’ll have enough hands to play liar’s poker. Bob Ory, Elgin
Aldermen and phones a bad mix
If Ald. Ed Burke and Ald. Anthony Beale are so concerned about the problem of people being distracted by their phones as they cross streets, they might also want to look at the behavior of their fellow Chicago aldermen. They often spend their time at their desks playing games, texting and shopping instead of looking out for the needs of the people who elected them. That is a major distraction.
