I haven’t figured life out yet. I am a 75-year-old senior and my children seem to forget I am here. Believe me I was here for them through thick and thin. I guess a person has to die to be missed.
Whether Russia interfered in our elections or not, whether there was voter fraud or not, the truth will come out. You can’t hide these things forever, eventually everything unravels.
If you can’t make your point in a debate without deflecting to another topic, then you have no argument to make.
Thanks to Jake Tapper for not letting Mike Pence avoid the questions like he always does. What a sorry excuse for a man, who refuses to be honest on national TV and just lies and lies and deflects.
The commenters say we have been duped by President-elect Trump and Russia. After winning the election with 306 electoral votes, considered a landslide in most circles, I think the only people duped by this election is the ones that lost.
You tell liberals to quit being so hateful about Trump being named Time’s Person of the Year, and then you turn it into a racial issue. Who is it that is being hateful?
John Glenn was truly an American hero as any of us old enough to remember the early space days would agree. And the story of his death got plenty of coverage. However, as far as placement of news of his death in the newspaper, is it really a big shock to you when a 95-year-old man in poor health dies?
Politicians should receive the same benefits, insurance and pensions that the average American gets. You should be in government service to do just that, serve the public and not yourselves. Makes sense so it will never happen.
The Government should take a practical look at Social Security. I am 76 years old and really don’t need it because I have great pension and still work. Yes, you earned it, but do you need it?
Trump supporters, take this simple test, and be brutally honest with yourself. Take everything Trump has said, every action he has taken — for time’s sake, let’s say just since the election — and look at everyone he has appointed to Cabinet posts. However, instead of Donald Trump saying these things and acting this way, say it was Hillary Clinton acting in this manner. Now what would you think? If you say you would still be OK with it, you are a liar. If you say you would not, you are a hypocrite.
As each day rolls by, I am more and more impressed on the leadership direction President-elect Trump is taking the country and he has not even yet taken office. He has done more good for my retirement funds in the last month than Obama did in the past 7 years. I never would believe that such a team of super achievers would be selected to run our government. Come on, January 20. It cannot get here soon enough.
A Trump supporter lecturing us to “quit being so hateful”. Well, there is my dose of irony for the day.
