It has come to the point that our elected officials cannot be trusted. Major issues need to be put on the ballot for voters to decide.
Even if the Mueller investigation had cost all those hundreds of millions of dollars claimed by a Quickly contributor (and it hasn’t), it would be worth it to blow the whistle on our current corrupt and illegitimate Presidency.
If you only have five friends who you can count on in your life, you must be a liberal. Being a Trump supporter with friends everywhere I turn, I can’t help but feel sorry for you!
Every day, another story of another link to collusion. Another link to a money request from Michael Cohen to funnel money to Trump, his family, his campaign, his properties. How many different people involved in this campaign and this administration have had dealings with Russia, China and the Middle East? If you still have your blinders firmly in place and still support Trump, you are the bigger problem.
Something for you to think about instead of blaming everything on the NRA ad guns. Why not look at the failure of the progressive education agenda under President Obama? Since most of these issues with guns in schools started during this time. It could have to do with taking discipline out of the school system. Protecting students that are troublemakers while endangering the student body, usurping power from local and state governments by federal institutions illegally, and many other progressive agendas that failed the school systems.
Time to get rid of police unions. I am sick and tired of their so-called policy of blue code of silence. Enough is enough!

In 2017, Trump launched TrumpStore.com a store selling goods emblazoned with the president’s last name. It sells T-shirts, hats, dog leashes, deodorant, banks and bath robes. This is beyond tacky for a president to license his name to sell tacky merchandise, to profit from his presidency. Par for the course.
Forty percent of Americans get their “news” from state-run information. The explanation for that is that people are too lazy to read and research. It is very easy to fall into the “tribe-mentality” trap and let someone else tell you what to think and do all the time. It’s also extremely dangerous.
It took the White House 22 days to acknowledge the Waffle House hero, James Shaw, who stopped a shooter, unarmed, and then raised $250,000 for the victims. It took Trump 24 hours to personally acknowledge white supremacist Tomi Lauren for getting a glass of water thrown at her.
