Please listen: I support the Second Amendment, I support your right to bear arms, I support your right to protect your family and your right to hunt, I support all of your rights as an American. I don’t support your non-existent right to purchase military grade weapons.
Trump is unapologetic about his congratulatory call to Putin, but he’s really angry that we found out that he wasn’t supposed to do it. Trump decides what he is and isn’t supposed to do after consultations with his own fantastic brain.
This isn’t a presidency; it’s a poorly staffed crime syndicate. Entitled sociopathic thugs whose depravity is only matched by their overwhelming incompetence. An endless stream of human sewage somehow passing itself off as an “administration.”
The Lake County Council passed a resolution seeking stricter gun regulations but noted they are unable to enact any ordinance on firearms and ammunition. Are you kidding me? Who allowed it in the first place?
Almost a month ago I did some work to make my yard look nice for the spring. I packed my refuse into the yard bags I got from the city and put them by the curb.

It is time to give tariffs and fair trade a try.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims that he is “sorry” for the “major breach of trust.” Is he truly sorry, or just sorry that he got caught?
Melania Trump met with representatives of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Snap and Twitter to work with them to encourage “positive behaviors on social media.” Mrs. Trump settled for a “substantial sum” with a blogger for posting things that that were derogatory to her . It should be noted that Mrs. Trump’s anger is not directed at her husband’s daily barrage of hate, lies, smears and bullying on social media, just everyone else.
The only reason a NDA would be deemed necessary is because Trump and his personal legal team planned on doing lots of illegal things in the White House. These people are not his personal employees, they are government employees.
A party willing to discredit the FBI to cover for a traitor, has no business ruling over the greatest nation in the world.
