Domestic abuse is proof of weakness in the abuser. Real strong men don’t use violence.

Only after the pictures were released did the White House change their official statement on Rob Porter. Now it’s a “mistake.” Would they still think it was a “mistake” if their loved one was abused? Would they still support and praise them?

Last October, General Kelly complained that there was a problem because women were no longer being treated as “sacred beings or with treated with great honor.” Now he is defending a friend who is has abused two wives. Something is wrong with him too.

Why don’t we start parading all of the homeless veterans in America and those that need mental health care, right in front of the White House? Would that make an impact?

All you union guys who thought you’d show people a thing or two by voting for Trump, you got Trump but you also got Gorsuch, and with him you got the conservative Supreme Court vote that will be the death of your union.

Trump highly praised Elon Musk recently, but absentmindedly forgot that he was a South African immigrant. Is it that billionaires get a pass, regardless of where they come from?

A local man was charged with death threats to Chicago-area abortion clinics. Was he actually trying to get caught? He called the FBI to rat on himself, that is pretty strange.

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is fighting his 16 year sentence for child abuse. He says that his judge treated him unfairly because she has two teenage daughters. Please just go away.

Just because the Special Counsel hasn’t revealed his intentions, doesn’t the president is free and clear. The president’s attorneys are trying to prevent him from speaking because they know how much damage he would cause. By the way, Quickly contributors have no control over the actions of the Special Counsel. Learn a few things before you spout off.

I’m beginning to think that the people who surround Donald Trump are not all great people.

I’m a Independent that voted for president Trump, not liking the candidates they offered on the Democratic side when I voted in 2016. And after reading all the comments in quickly and hearing so many negative comments coming from liberal Democrats about how stupid I must be, I wonder if I will ever cast another vote for the Democratic Party because it doesn’t sound like they want me.

The next time that Trump wants to blatantly attack “Little Adam Schiff,” calling him a “liar and a leaker” perhaps he should remember that Schiff used to be an Assistant U.S. Attorney, who prosecuted an FBI agent for leaking documents to the USSR.

Only guilty people start attacking the messenger. That’s because they have no defense.

Days after the largest single-day point drop in the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Trump is claiming the exact opposite. He says that the stock market is rigged against him because it tanked in response to good economic news he helped to engineer. Yep—that’s the ticket.
