Trump’s and his family’s finances, Republicans are now warning, constitute a red line that Mueller must not cross. In other words, if Trump or his children have committed financial crimes, they don’t want to know about it. And don’t want the rest of us to know either. Keep digging, Mueller.
Twitter and Facebook should have a system for users to verify their identity and then filter out those that refuse. The whole platform would be safer and eliminate the trolls.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told Trump: “I’ve listened to the first-grade teachers who don’t want to be pistol-packing first-grade teachers. We need to listen and educators should educate. . . . I just suggest we need a little less tweeting here and a little more listening.” Bravo, sir!
Everybody, please contact the Secretary of State’s office and make sure they will be using paper ballots. Demand that they do, otherwise, our votes will not have a paper trail.
“I will kill any legislation that benefits Delta Airlines unless the company changes it’s position and fully reinstates its relationship with the NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.” This is from Georgia’s Lt. Governor Casey Cagle. So he intends to abuse his government position to punish a private company for exercising their rights? He is resorting to extortion to bully Delta into supporting the NRA.
Unless someone has run toward AR-15 fire, they should pipe down about what a Rambo they’d be in that situation. Or how witnessing that situation should, or should not affect you.
Just because President Trump did not go to Vietnam sheds no light on if he would have gone into the Parkland, Fla., high school unarmed. I went to Vietnam and question what we accomplished losing over 58,000 young lives at the cost of billions of dollars. I can understand the difference.
Trump claims he would have run into that school and been a hero. Would a golf cart fit through that school door? A windy day would be a deal breaker too, because of comb-over preservation. He would have to have a whole slew of bodyguards too. Oh, never mind. Trump faced another defeat as the Supreme Court refused to rule in his favor concerning DACA. When will he accept the fact that he has rules he has to follow?
During a speech supporting the Florida student activists, Melania Trump said, “I have been heartened to see children across this country using their voices to speak out and try to create change. They are our future and they deserve a voice.” She sounds like a loving mother concerned for her own son, and also like she is getting in a dig at her husband and his pals.
Trump is not able to listen. He is a controller, your typical abuser, even on minor issues. They don’t listen or think; they just react.
Students walking out of class to demand gun control should be applauded, not punished. I am 100 percent behind every student taking a stand for their safety.
