Pruitt stole an impressive amount of money in such a little amount of time. Heckuva job, Scottie!

The problems at DCS are widespread. Workers only do what they are instructed to do by their managers. Nobody makes a decision without their supervisor’s OK. To say a child is removed for a parents minimal violation is wrong. It is the opposite — too many children are left in dangerous homes. Contact former employees to get the full story. They won’t fear retaliation and will tell you everything.

Why can’t people leave Roe v. Wade alone? You would think it was a law forcing women to have an abortion instead of giving them a choice. The reversal would mean more unwanted children which we have more than enough of already. Also, we certainly do not need a return to “backroom abortions”!

Now with Pruitt gone, should Wilbur Ross or Ryan Zinke be the next target?

Every holiday get together involves lots of good food and lots of alcohol. Drinking too much is not a good look for anyone. It’s even worse for those that have to watch their shenanigans. I wish that every drunk was shown a video the next day of how they acted.

The Environmental Protection Agency should be officially renamed what it has become under Trump and his henchmen, The Profit Protection Agency. Goodbye EPA, hello PPA.

If ICE is eliminated, serious crimes will increase at alarming rate throughout the Southwest and California.

Trump and the Right-wing media have their followers hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. They call themselves Christians, imagine that.

The Divided States of America just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

“I have all the faith that Trump will pick the best Supreme Court judge.” Yep, just like he has picked the “best cabinet, and the best staff.” Trump doesn’t pick the best of anything, because he doesn’t know or understand how government works. He tries to find the best people to cover his corruption, period.

Helping the enemy used to be treason. Now it’s just called being a Republican.

These sore losers from Hillary’s loss can make up childish names all day long in slander against our president, but in the end he is still a great man and the hero of the working middle class. Only the uninformed, the uneducated and the sore losers cannot or refuse to see president Trump’s vision to MAGA. The working class will prevail.

I don’t understand why Trump voters think he is doing such an outstanding job. I guess you thing that insulting our allies, praising dictators, putting children in cages, making fun of handicapped people, committing adultery, calling Mexicans rapists and killers, criticizing Muslims and other ethnic groups, calling the news media the enemy of the country and continuing to lie everyday, is doing a great job. His vocabulary is outrageous and he is obviously obsessed with continuing to talk about Hillary even though he won the election. Why doesn’t he stop campaigning and get something done. He spends more time praising himself and saying everything is great and wonderful — it isn’t! I am a senior citizen, and I have never seen this country so divided!

Nothing perhaps illustrates the general disintegration of political life better than this vague, pervasive hatred of everybody and everything.\\
