Like all of the other liberal media,

joins in with “the sky is falling! The sky is falling!”mantra and puts it on the front page.

I watched the news conference and didn’t see Donald Trump give anything away. All I have to do is turn on CNN or MSNBC and get the same tripe.

Just more leftist hysteria!

Now I have no doubts about Trump and Putin: This is treason

If I had any doubt about Russian collusion, I don’t have any more doubt at all.

It was very obvious that Putin had total control over Trump. Our President looked like a weak baby. Trump stood there and chastised our intelligen­ce agencies, blamed Obama and fully rolled over for Putin.

And at the end, he gets a ball from Putin as if to say, “Here you go good little boy!”

And his excuse of using the “wrong” word shows Trumps true incompeten­ce.

This is treasonous. This is a national emergency. Yet those in power (Republican­s) do absolutely nothing to defend our country.

Nadda, Zero.

I can provide a better example of a U.S. president abasing himself

I read in today’s that Sen. John McCain, wrote of President Trump’s visit with Vladimir Putin that, “No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant.”

I have to wonder, where was Sen. McCain when President Obama was bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia?

Wanna talk about a president abasing himself before a tyrant?

We can slow the decline of our country by voting this November

Enough!

After more than 500 days of Donald Trump as president, it is time to say enough.

We need to save our democracy. Our long-standing institutio­ns, protection­s and values are under attack by our president. Our standing in the world is diminishin­g daily to a level that we are no longer recognized as the leading democracy in the world.

Our allies cannot count on the United States.

We can assume the president will complete his first term, but we do not have to let the current state stand or further decline over the remainder of the term.

The November elections are our chance to send a clear message to President Trump and the Republican Party. Since the president does not understand or care about the the separation­s of power there is a critical need to have a least one house of Congress not under control of what is left of the Republican Party.

This would probably result in stalemate in Congress. But with a president who only cares about his personal image, it will slow down the decline of our country.

Vote this November!
