Question regarding the bike lanes. When it comes time for snow removal, the area for example of Keim and Wilson streets where the poles are protruding from the road, how do they plan on cleaning the snow? Just Curious

I’m not sure on the exact source of the following quote but it sure hits the nail on the head. “I’m completely lost. Liberals think that somehow 13 Russians can influence an election, however millions of illegal immigrants can’t. I think it’s time we add liberalism to the long list of psychologi­cal disorders.” Jim Dandy

A quote from Jazz Shaw, a blogger for both PJ Media and Hotair, “Official time for union officials has long allowed union leaders to hold taxpayer-funded jobs but spend as much as 100 percent of their time doing union business rather than doing work for the public.” At the VA alone, 500 union members are using official time 100 percent of the time. Kudos to Trump for taking steps to eventually end this practice entirely. Mark Furlong

It now seems that our glorious president’s former attorney is ready to tell all about his client’s shady dealings. Let’s hope so, so we can nail this guy once and for all. Go Stormy, go Michael Cohen.

Buy your home heating oil now before it gets to over $3 a gallon. Soon as Trump puts that embargo on Iran, oil will go through the roof. Jay Miller

To me it is unbelievab­le that any investigat­ion by Mueller does not include any Republican­s. One way to stop the investigat­ion is for the Republican­s to get 17 of themselves and open an investigat­ion into crooked Hillary. Find out where her server is, find out why she was allowed to destroy evidence after it was subpoenaed.

For Keep America Free, Devin Nunes is a liar. He also, in the middle of the night behind his fellow Republican­s, went to the White House. The release of the memo, that’s enormous amount of informatio­n that prevents us from getting anywhere close to a full picture of what happened. From the evidence at hand it’s certainly fair to say that it’s Nunes’ memo not the warrant applicatio­n that suffered political bias in its creation.

There’s been a lot of statements made about socialism in Sound Off. I’d like to know does the Democratic socialism place a higher value on human life than capitalism?

This is to everyone who has a loved one or friend buried at Highland Memorial Cemetery in Pottstown. When you go to visit them, you probably should take a lawnmower, a weed wacker and a blower. You may possibly be able to find their marker.

To all you Democrats and liberals out there, we must get out and register today and vote. We must take our country back away from Trump. He is destroying our country. Anybody that is a Republican, think about what he’s doing to our country and vote with the Democrats to get the country back. Democrats must, must, must get out and vote. That’s the only way things are going to get back to normal again. Think about what I’ve said.

Looks like I’m going to bat for Starlight. Whoever said “Apparently you don’t listen very good. Gov. Wolf said if the tax reform bill will go to his office he would sign it and he’s still saying the same thing. Get your facts straight next time,” well you should get your facts straight because apparently Starlight is a good listener. It didn’t make it to the governor’s desk because that bill actually got stopped by Lt. Gov. Mike Stack who is a Democrat so he put the kibosh on it.

My question is, what do gray emissions from the nuke plant towers mean? Bob, Not From Mont Clare

The GOP spent eight years demonizing President Obama refusing to work with him to solve any problems. Since Donald Trump began his run no one in the GOP has held him accountabl­e for his lack of even the most basic decency. Trump’s disgracefu­l performanc­e with Russia’s President Putin, even after gasps of horror and statements of outrage, the GOP will continue to reward him. How much worse can it get?

With all the apartments you’re building for low income people, how about some low income apartments for low income people? Who’s got the money to spend $200,000 on homes around here is what I want to know?

I read in Monday’s Mercury the article that the Pennsylvan­ia bail system keeps poor people in jail. So wouldn’t it be a good idea that they didn’t get in trouble so they wouldn’t have to go to jail? I know life’s not perfect but maybe do the right things. That’s what’s wrong with society, the people do the wrong things but they don’t want to pay the price for the goofiness they do.
