At the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kansas City, MO., Trump said “Stick with us. Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.” “What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what ‘s happening.” So, don’t believe your own eyes and ears, but just believe the things that I tell you. He talks to people like an abuser talks to a victim.

When does the crap, stop? He needs to be impeached!

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984. Sound familiar?

“Lock her up,” Attorney general Jeff Sessions says with a laugh as chants break out during a high school leadership summit. He also accused schools of raising “sanctimonious snowflakes.” What an odious display from the nation’s top law enforcement officer. He just can’t stop pushing his divisive, partisan commentary.

Ivanka Trump closed her clothing company and had to lay off 18 American workers. What about all of the Chinese and Indonesian sweat shop workers that are out of a job? That’s who you should feel sorry for.

Walking the beach this weekend, I wondered how long it will be before the homeowners who despise us for walking through “their yard” are begging for OUR tax dollars to save their homes from the eminent foreclosure that the rapidly approaching lake is going to cause.

When Donnie talks about handing out billions of dollars to farmers that aren’t his, it’s worth remembering that this is a guy who went bankrupt owning casinos.

Is the GOP in agreement with adding billions to our national debt as if it were pennies?

Who would you trust more with highly classified material, decorated national security professionals with over a century of combined service to the country under presidents of both parties, OR Putin’s apprentice?

People have asked why the GOP lawmakers don’t do anything about Trump’s illegal and unethical behavior. Look at how the Big Bully and his sycophants destroy everyone that speaks the truth about him.

I just read a story on Yahoo where the author blamed global warming on the Trump administration. Does anybody know when the government started controlling the weather?

The Trump administration promises to have its own version of “Fast and Furious,” except theirs will involve the issuing of pardons to those Trump thinks have the goods on him. If this happens and doesn’t outrage the American people, then there is no hope for us, and we deserve none.

I voted for Trump because of the corrupt union money backing Hillary. She would have turned the USA into another Illinois, with those too lazy to work getting a free ride in life, and those willing to earn an honest living picking up the tab. I admire Trump for trying to keep his campaign promises on immigration, trade, draining the swamp and tax breaks. He’s a good man. Too bad so many are still bitter from Hillary’s loss and trying to hold the country back.
