Trump said “We’ll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon. Let the other people take care of it now.” That’s precisely what the “other people” are doing. The result was another grotesque chemical weapons attack.

Last week Trump said that other people have to deal with Syria. It’s a mistake that we don’t need to deal with. This morning after a chemical attack he said we have to respond. Is this man that inept? Answer is YES!

Quickly works really hard to keep the good things the president does from being posted. So many “grow up” comments keep coming on a daily basis. They sure are scared of the next election for president, aren’t they? Nothing but negative comments coming from such educated people. What a shame how they hope for the worst because they’re feelings got hurt. Grow up already!

Scott Pruitt stated that he faced an “unprecedented” number of death threats. That is the reason for his humongous security detail. A Freedom of Information Act was filed to get the data on these “threats” and there has not been one single threat against Pruitt.

Anyone heard from VP Mike Pence lately? Sources say his attorneys refuse to let him talk to Robert Mueller as requested. There was a reason that Paul Manafort specifically wanted Pence for the VEEP. All will be revealed very soon.

They lied to you about Vietnam. They lied to you about Afghanistan. They lied to you about Iraq and Libya. And you think they are telling you the truth about Syria?

So now you think that Roseanne Barr is the voice of middle America? What part, spreading the conspiracy theory of the Parkland teen giving a Nazi salute, posing as Hitler baking cookies for a Jewish magazine, grabbing her crotch after mutilating the National Anthem or pushing the Pizzagate conspiracy theory? Sounds like such a great role model.

I do not see many comments on the GOP tax cuts, but I took my added boost on my weekly check and went out and bought a new car — my first. A USA made car at that! My pay boost missed my monthly payment by $22 — I’ll eat out on that. I want to thank all of my elected leaders who voted in these tax cuts, and I question the loyalty and patriotism of those that voted against the tax cuts. That old clunker was giving me fits.

All of the “thugs” in this administration didn’t just become corrupt. All of their corrupt behavior has long been ingrained as “business as usual.” They don’t have a conscience and you will never make them understand that their behavior is wrong. In their world, this is the only way.

Just because the Trump backers are sick and tired of hearing people constantly point out his failures and foibles, doesn’t mean people should stop. You can’t ever make his behavior an acceptable part of life … it’s not and won’t ever be.

Trump wants tariffs against China? Soybeans, pork, metal and autos; However, not ties, hats, golf shirts or handbags. I wonder why?

Our greatest tragedy: Donald Trump’s rhetoric, blame games, name-calling, sleaze and divisiveness have brought out the worst of America, not the best.

Trump is itching for another war. He would love to have a giant diversion from all of this Russia, collusion, porn star, and inept cabinet press that won’t go away. How many lives and how much debt do we have to take on to satisfy his ego and his never-ending problems?
