Trump refuses to sit down with the press or answer any of their questions, because he doesn’t like their “tone.” He won’t sit down with Robert Mueller because he can’t control the questions and he is afraid of him. But he had no problem or restrictions before meeting with Putin, one of the most dangerous men in the world.

Every day, I wake up to the sound of constant and relentless traffic on I-80/94, pumping CO2 into the atmosphere and warming the planet. We need a renewable energy revolution and we needed it 30 years ago when the scientists warned us. If you care about your future, the future of your kids, and all other life on the planet, stop voting for science denying anti-government right-wing extremists and demand change now.

Trump says (tweets) that those journalists who publish anything critical of him are “very unpatriotic.” It’s the statement itself that’s unpatriotic, and it comes from a president who took an oath to abide by our constitution. If he only knew what was in it. You people who defend him are no better.

The trips that Trump takes around the country in Air Force One and the rallies he holds in public venues are nothing more than campaign rallies, either for his own candidacy in 2020 or for some conservative Republican running for office in the midterm elections. And we taxpayers are paying for all this purely political activity, where Trump spews his usual toxic rhetoric about “Crooked Hillary” and media “enemies of the American people.” Get mad.

I often wonder if president Trump had beaten somebody besides Hillary Clinton — would we still all of these witch hunts? Just think of all of the creativity and accomplishments this nation has lost seen in this past year and a half if we were not dragged down by all of the obstructionist movements. We just lost out on another Reagan era.

It’s not a witch hunt when you are GUILTY. Then it’s a criminal case.

The only people attacking Mueller are Trump, Fox News, a handful of far right congressmen, and Alan Dershowitz, who imagines that people still like listening to what he has to say. Pathetic attacks by hateful and desperate people on an honorable man who is simply doing his job.

A farmer told me this joke years ago. Do you know why the bills on farmers hats are always turned down on the sides? From checking the mailbox every day for their government subsidy checks.

Michael Cohen may know where the bodies are buried, but Allen Weisselberg knows where they keep the shovels.

I don’t understand how people are making a big deal about how Democrats are being obstructionist when the Republican Party went out of their way for the last 7 years to make Obama look bad. How soon they forget!

Trump says he will spend 6 days a week campaigning. Sunday is his golf day. When will he be running the country? Yep sure are making America great again.

Anyone that has been alive for the last 40 years or so, and has listened to any type of news, has heard some aspect of the fraudulent lifestyle of Donald Trump. Why are they suddenly so bewildered now, that he is accused of doing some of the things that he is accused of doing?

The GOP, that spends an inordinate amount of time creating conspiracy theories and fake scenarios to advance their platform, have a really hard time accepting hard facts when it comes to the president or anyone in their party.

Ivanka will step down from her clothing line. Does that mean that she will give back the Chinese patents that daddy secured for her?
