These old men in power have a storm coming, the likes of which they cannot comprehend. Just sit tight.
Roy Moore wants to bring his Alabama values to Washington. Alabama is #47 in Health care, #47 in Education, #45 in Economy, #42 in Crime/Corrections, #42 in Government, #50 in Infant Morality, #49 in Obesity. Sure, we need that kind of leadership in Washington.
You can produce facts, you can produce court settlements and you can explain until you are blue in the face, and it doesn’t matter. People still believe what they want to believe. It proves the theory of mind control, brainwashing and pure stupidity.
The State Department issued a warning to U.S. travelers, everywhere, after the Jerusalem decision. A president that explicitly puts Americans at risk while gaining nothing in return. Happy Holidays!
America may need to hit bottom before it gets its act together. Voting for Trump because wanted to “shake up the system” was an irresponsible act, which anyone with eyes or ears can plainly see.
The fact that not one Democrat in the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Bill tells you that the Democrats are more focused on being sore losers than on making America a better place. My family and my children’s families are all middle class, and from what I read, we are all going to gain from this new legislation. These Democrats need to go before their cancer spreads any further.
What possibly could be more stark than the difference between how Democrats have responded to Al Franken’s alleged misconduct by demanding his resignation and how Republicans have responded to Roy Moore’s alleged misconduct by redoubling their efforts to get him elected.
If you’re confused about whether you should be for or against the administration’s plans to roll back rules on net neutrality, just remember this simple rule: Republicans never do anything unless it helps private interests to make a profit from public assets. Think roads, schools, hospitals, prisons, and more.
Finally, the Congress moves on gun legislation in response to a series of deadly massacres. The GOP led House passed a bill making it easier for gun owners to carry concealed weapons across state lines. What… did anyone expect anything different?
“When I grew up, the FBI were the good guys, and the Soviet Union were the bad guys. I watch Fox News today, and they tell me the FBI are the bad guys, and Russia are the good guys.”
I no longer care about seeing Trump’s tax returns. Now that Mueller has them, I am sure that they are in good hands.
Fox News is a malignancy that is destroying our democracy and the rule of law. Stop treating them like they are a legitimate source of news. They are a dangerous source of propaganda. They are about as credible as the National Enquirer and should be treated as such.
