Trump’s transition team was trying to get a security clearance for Michael Flynn Jr., who was spreading the fake news conspiracy theories about the Washington pizza shop. Really, is this who will be privy to the secrets of our national security?
You’re not racist or sexist just for voting for Trump, that’s correct. However, you also voted for a man who has made it abundantly clear that he is racist and sexist. At the very least, you’re just fine with racism and sexism. Most likely you agree with some if not all of his racist and sexist views or you wouldn’t have voted for him, which in fact does make you a racist and/or sexist. Sometimes the truth hurts.
Too many people are worried about their citizenship and giving no consideration for their rights as citizens: the right to work and get paid a fair salary and the right to get a better education in a country that claims to be the best in the world.

Just met with my health care adviser, my monthly premium in six years went from good insurance at $320 to bad insurance at $780 so where is affordability. Thanks Obama and the Democratic Party for nothing; Much more help from the Democratic Party and I’ll be broke. Healthcare insurance about has me there now. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, President Obama. My premium might go up again.
Michael Flynn Sr., the man chosen as the next National Security Advisor, and his son have been posting bizarre conspiracy theories online. Why was one fired and one spared?
