JUDGE NOT

To “Theft Is Theft,” talking about handicap spots, you have to get the form signed by a doctor to get a placard or license plate to prove you need one. I have a heart condition and severe panic disorder; I look OK but the doctor says I’m not. So I get plenty of dirty looks when parking and I feel guilty and bad. So don’t judge a book by its cover.

ALL JUICED UP

So I watching the news over the weekend and once again the media makes a big deal out of nothing: O.J.’s being released, where is he going to live? Who cares where he’s going to live? I’m sure once he finds a place to live, they’ll be all over that neighborho­od asking the neighbors “how do you feel about O.J. moving into your neighborho­od, blah blah blah blah.” It’s news O.J. got out of jail – OK, tell us that and that’s the end of the story.

GRAB THOSE GUNS

You’d think that the massacre in Las Vegas which shock people to their senses, but not the right-wing gun nuts. They’re going to hold fast to the stupid belief that people should be able to have arsenal like Stephen Paddock had, which is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of in my entire life. Nobody needs that many guns, ever.

WASTE OF TIME

I’m assuming that “Million Dollar Babies” is talking about the NFL and its so-called tax exempt status, the tax-subsidized stadiums and other stuff Chris Freind brought up last week. Having gone down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out the NFL’s revenue streams a few times over the years, don’t bother trying. It’s like cramming for a 400-level economics class exam the night before the test – your brain hurts, you realize you should have been paying attention all along and nothing ends well for you.

IF HE ONLY HAD A BRAIN

“Smell The Coffee” is the one who ought to smell the coffee, because presidents do not regulate whether the debt goes up or down, it’s Congress and the way they spend money, that’s what makes the debt go up or down. But of course you’re too clueless to realize that. And second of all, you say “that Obama didn’t like America.” I guess you have that on good authority – say Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly? Yeah, all have it on real good authority that Obama didn’t like America. People like you shouldn’t be allowed to vote because you don’t have a brain in your head.

IF HE ONLY HAD A HEART

Trump is a national bragging about what a great job he was doing in Puerto Rico before wasting more taxpayer money on a trip to Bedminster. Then the whole world saw the mayor of San Juan tell the real story about what was going on in Puerto Rico. Donald Trump should resign out of embarrassm­ent disagree, but of course he won’t resign because he can’t be embarrasse­d.

ALL FOR ONE (PERCENT)

Over the weekend we saw that Meehan, Toomey and Ryan were all out to push the Republican tax plan. Well, the figures are in, and the top 1 percent gets over 50 percent of the benefits of the tax plan. A middle class family making between $48,000 and $71,000 will get $606 back. Anybody making $25,000 or less will get $60 back. This is a real great tax plan – if you’re the 1 percent.

SCOTT FREE

“Pandora Box” said the EPA did some good work in its early years. The EPA was doing great work up until the time that Scott Pruitt got to be head of EPA, when he’s known to want to abolish the EPA. The EPA is still trying to do good work, but people like “Pandora Box” is so stupid that they think that regulation hurts everything and there’s too much regulation with the EPA.

JUST YOU WAIT

I would like to hear from all the pundits and mouthpiece­s and talking heads that were hollering about Russian collusion six months ago. Where are all of you guys? Now that you’ve all crawled back down your “Alice in Wonderland” rabbit hole and gone away, I’ll see in three-and-a-half more years when you lose the next presidenti­al election. So I want to say thank you for being part of the media frenzy, goodbye and good night.
