Kellyanne Conway is Trump’s “opioid czar.” She spoke at Generation Next during a White House sponsored forum for millennials and offered a bizarre suggestion for people at risk for abusing opioids. “Eat the ice cream, have the French fry, don’t buy the street drug. Believe me, it all works out.” Phew, so glad we finally solved the opioid crisis. It was looking bad for a while.

The president just signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill and learned a valuable lesson on how Washington works. They’re cheering on CNN and MSNBC and poking jabs at the president like he’s such a fool. Do you think they realized that they just strapped they’re kids with a $220,000 worth of debt, or are they just so happy to have something new to rub his face in, unaware of the consequences of what a bill like this is doing to our country? A third world country right around the corner, and then we can all look in the mirror and call ourselves fools while we all try to act so smart.

We have all witnessed the self-destruction of a con-man with multiple mental disorders. Every scandal was created by him. Every wound was self-inflicted. It is time to save our nation from this mad man.

Bolton and Trump? One mad man advising another. This is not going to end well.

A Hobart Township board member is facing felony drunk driving after having a long history of driving while under the influence. His attorney is trying to get him admitted into the veterans treatment court. The state has denied him entry because he only served 4 months of active duty. This service is reserved for full-time service members. His attorney is trying every tactic so that he can remain a board member. We deserve better.

On the one hand we have the tax and spend Democrats, on the other hand we have the spend and tax Republicans. Flip sides of the same counterfeit coin. One takes from the poor and one takes from the rich….

Remember when Trump sat with Russians in the oval office and said he got rid of that guy Comey? Then said he won’t be a problem? Why didn’t congress impeach him? That is an obstruction of justice!

Wow, when I read about Trump’s plan to execute drug dealers, I said to myself, “Today, he became the president.” Of the Philippines.

Unbelievable. Trump threatened to veto the budget bill because “Democrats have abandoned the Dreamers.” It’s Trump who has canceled the DACA protections, not the Democrats. And it’s Trump who’s using his $50 billion border wall as a tool of extortion.

Trump wants to “get along with others” unless those “others” are America’s allies, NATO, the FBI, the DOJ, or our intelligence agencies.

Someone needs to publish all of Trump’s tweets from the last 10 years in a book. Just to prove how much he lies on every single subject. He hasn’t kept his word on anything.
