Trump thinks Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones is “terrible on crime”. That must be because he prosecuted two Ku Klux Klan members for a murderous church bombing.
As if there was ever any doubt, Trump has proven yet again that he has no moral grounding. He would like to have an accused sexual predator of teens in the Senate just to pass legislation he wants.
This dustup between LaVar Ball and Donald Trump only proves that what Alice Roosevelt Longworth said of her father, Theodore Roosevelt, is even truer of Trump: “He wants to be the bride at every funeral, the corpse at every funeral, the baby at every christening.”
Because of political bias some people do not believe Roy Moore’s accusers. But there is the proven fact that he was banned from the Gadsden Mall while in his 30s for harassing and preying — not praying — on teenage girls that worked and hung out there.
Too many people have the “not in my backyard” attitude. They don’t care about any issue until it actually affects them. By then, it is too late to try to fix it.
What is wrong with a country who consistently holds actors and news personalities to a higher standard than our elected officials. Charlie Rose is out, but Roy Moore is endorsed by our president.
Kellyanne Conway has twice broken the law by illegally using her position as a member of Trump’s administration to endorse (1) Ivanka Trump’s line of clothing, and (2) Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate election. And she has the nerve to say that Moore’s opponent is “weak on crime”?
If Quickly keeps beating the Roy Moore story into the dirt, will that keep people from finding out about the growing list of Democrats that are having the same problem?
Congress has a slush fund to cover up allegation of sexual abuse by there members for the last 20 years, to the tune of $17 million dollars of the taxpayers money, and members of congress don’t even know about it. Do we need term limits? Look no further than John Conyers who has used the fund to silence his accuser and let me know!
Of course Trump would endorse Roy Moore. It’s how people in a powerful position operate. “Who would believe you?” They taunt. It’s why victims don’t come forward. It’s too humiliating, and people won’t believe you. I know, I’m a victim too.
What happened to the museum on the Cedar Lake Town grounds? Boarded up windows with plywood, Little shack Barber Shop next to it, what a eyesore. Nice parking lot though. Stay classy Cedar Lake.
There are so many witch hunts going on in Washington, that it makes your head spin. Not a single one of them adds any value to society. Why can’t the two political parties call a truce on these witch hunts, abort all of them, and instead focus only on issues that better the USA and our standard of living/quality of life issues. No more political posturing for three years. Then in 2020, they can start the political process all over for the next elections. As it stands now, our process is broken.
I would love to express how I feel about the Trump cadre and their supporters in Quickly, but hardly any of those words can be printed in a newspaper.
