Roy Moore has filed a lawsuit trying to delay the certification of his opponent in the Senate race. He has no proof to get his way, yet he persists. We have a man that has never followed the law, and even when he said he would let God dictate the results, he refuses to do that as well.

Without the promised tax increases on the middle class, who do you think is going to pay for the tax cut for the rich? They have already said it will come from social security and medicaid. How exactly do you see this as a benefit to anyone other than the ultra rich? Cut their taxes and let us flounder as they undo the programs we have paid into our whole lives in preparation for retirement.

What kind of family dispute ends with two people shot? This is a good reason to not have a gun in the house. A son is dead and his mom is in stable condition. What kind of society handles family disputes in this manner?

I learned long ago, family values with many in the GOP’s leadership is a well read fiction.

Of course there should be limits of government reading all emails. Just like the telephone, a warrant should be involved to pry into someone’s private conversations. Next they will tell us they must listen to our conversations in our home through our smart TVs in the name of keeping us safe. My question is safe from what and at what cost?

What kind of people gloat over passage of a tax bill that will likely take health care away from more than 10 million people, and declare it to be a “major victory”? Republicans. That kind.

The Republican agenda includes higher quality and more affordable health care, lower taxes for all, more and higher paying jobs for those who want job and a better quality of life for all Americans willing to earn n honest living. The Democratic agenda is focused on one thing — making sure that none of the items on the Republican agenda take place.

I have no doubt in my mind, before all is said and done, Rep. Devin Nunes will be headed to prison. Any bets on this?

The White House and Trump cultists are saying the FBI has “extreme bias” against Trump. Or as the FBI calls it: Evidence.

In my 60 years, I have never seen people in such a tizzy over the election of a president. Remember Obama made the joke that there was no way the people would ever elect Donald J. Trump as president? So don’t be so mad that the most popular guy in the last 10 years according to the Quickly column could have been so wrong. He may be popular but he was flat out wrong, and you don’t have any choice but to live with it for at least three more years, do you?

My guess is that the guilty ones are going along with this plan to oust Mueller. They don’t want to be outed any more than President Trump does.
