Taking pride in shutting down the government is not the behavior of a sane or responsible president. Causing so much pain and hardship tells you we are dealing with a very sick person that enjoys doing this.
Why haven’t the governors of Texas, Arizona or California sought any emergency declarations? Isn’t that your first clue this isn’t an emergency?
Rudy Giuliani said today that he thinks the Trump legal team should be allowed to “correct” Special Counsel Mueller’s report on the Russian probe before Congress and the American people get a chance to read it. I just bet they would love to alter those reports. Are you insane? Never mind, silly question.
Because of Trump’s trade and tariff war with China, farmers are no longer selling soybeans to China. So now Trump is giving those farmers billions of dollars in welfare. Where is he getting the money? He’s borrowing it from China. Some businessman he is.
Using the term “man baby” to describe the president is how real men speak all the time. You must be a real sissy.
Daniel Henninger from the Wall Street Journal said “Trump’s base is less interested in policy achievements or a functioning government as they are in sticking it to liberals who loathe the president — even if his actions are detrimental to their own well-being.” That’s true, and really pathetic.
Why can’t we just use thoughts and prayers to protect the border? It’s what we use to protect our schools.
In 2004, Donald Trump gave a speech at Wagner College on New York’s Staten Island. He said, “Don’t give up. Don’t allow it to happen. If there’s a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it, but get to the other side of that wall.”
Why don’t Trump and all of the other billionaires chip in on this wall they want so bad? Seems very “communist” of them to expect the government to
pay for their wish list.
If Trump gets the funding for his wall, will he still hire illegal immigrants for his hotels and golf courses? Will GOP Rep. Devin Nunes and others still hire them to run their dairy farms? So sick of their double standards.
The White House counsel’s office is prepping legal justification for a national emergency, including advising the White House to ramp up talk for a humanitarian and security “crisis.” White House lawyers say the more the term is used, the more citations they will have in filing legal defense. So manufacture a crisis, and we will manufacture a defense.
A Lake County Court judge agreed to continue for the 19th time the case against a retired St. John police commander accused of sexual battery and ghost payrolling. Nineteen times. What is wrong with our legal system when a case can be continued this many times?
Remember when Grandpa would tell the same story over and over? And everyone would just roll their eyes? That’s where we are now.
