Who out there doesn’t have a child, family member, friend, co-worker or neighbor that is gay? Are you OK with them being discriminated against?

Trump said Kim “wrote me a beautiful letter.” Five minutes later, a reporter asks what’s in the letter? Trump says I haven’t opened it yet, but I will let you know. Can this man ever tell the truth?

The phrase “sincere religious beliefs” has become the cover for any kind of prejudice and bigotry. And now it has the blessing of our Supreme Court. What’s the next thing that “sincere religious beliefs” will let you get away with?

I have the right to pardon myself, but why would I do that when I haven’t done anything wrong? Indeed, then why are you and your legal team even bringing this up? Guilty, guilty, guilty.

Legal experts are spending happy hours laughing it up at Trump’s expense. What his legal team is doing is called “Death by paper.” The pleadings are as worthless as the paper they are written on. They require a response and waste time. It is just a lob to throw when you are out of facts and you are trying to slow down your opponent. His legal team is also way out of their league.

If Democrats are so uneducated, according to a Quickly contributor, why is only one college or university faculty member a Republican to every 10 who are Democrats?

We the people need to strip the pensions away from Congress. As long as they can get a life long pension of $110,000-$174,000 a year, they don’t care if they get fired. Time to set a 2 term limit, and a limited pension of only their time in service.

I missed the part in the Bible where it says you should deny services to people because they are gay. Oh, it’s not in there? Didn’t think so.

True patriotism denounces racism, inequality, corruption and immorality. I hope that we can recover as a country from the devastation of this Trump presidency, and bring back the true meaning of patriotism, for the healthy future of our country.

It may be a little harsh to swallow, but I can tell you this, to the consternation of everyone repulsed by Trump’s behavior, the only thing he has not obstructed, is his own airway.

Trump keeps complaining that the Russia investigation has now cost our government over $17 million. But he has no concern over the $27 million on flights to Mar-a-Lago, the $13 million for security at Mar-a-Lago, $9 million in flight to Bedminster, $4 million on Palm Beach police, or the $75 million protecting Melania and Barron in New York. That’s $138 million Donald and Melania away from each other.

Rep. Trey Gowdy disproved any Spygate theory and now Republicans have all started attacking him for having the audacity to speak the truth. In the GOP, the truth is such a foreign concept.

“The most dangerous friendship in America. A perfect pair of power hungry egomaniacs.” Andrea Manafort describing her father and Trump.
