Trump claims that NFL players are unable to articulate what it is they are protesting. Maybe if he sat down and talked to them, he might understand. But that takes too much effort on his part, and besides that would never fit his hate and divide agenda.

Space Force? Republicans got their tax cut for the rich, decimated the ACA, underfunded the VA and the EPA and the supreme court majority. Its now time to start representing the people who elected you and put an end to this disgrace in the oval office. If not, you won’t be here in November.

I look forward to the November elections so the Dems can take back control of the House. Their committee chairmen will have subpoena power and can finally rein in this corrupt administration that is ripping off American taxpayers to line their own pockets. Something the current GOP majority has no interest in.

Most of Trump’s attacks have a racial basis to them. Especially shameful coming from a man in his position.

Let me try to size up a deplorable for you! No were not getting a cushy pension from the union, where you retired and taking home more money than we were making working. No, daddy wasn’t a fourth generation farmer that handed us a farm after you enjoyed a spoiled life, where you got all that school had to offer because daddy was either on the school board or was a major donor. Nope, we’re just hard-working people with nothing to lose, watching all you fancy people looking down your nose at us.

Just count up the number of people associated with the Trump administration who have been indicted for crimes, have pled guilty to committing them or are being investigated for committing them, or have been forced to resign because of malfeasance of one kind or another. Most Americans are not stupid. They recognize that the Trump administration is the most corrupt in American history. Finally Trump found something where he’s number one.

Republicans currently control Congress. They are the only ones blocking Trump and his hare brained agenda. But just wait until 2019 when the sore loser Democrats finally are in control of the House. Then you can rightfully blame them for preventing Trump from turning the USA into a third world dictatorship.

These anti-American protests by radical NFL players continue on. Either the NFL has to grab the bull by the horns and eject these anti-American players, or they need to move their league to an anti-American country. I’m done — they get no more money from my meager viewing dollars, but it makes me sleep better at night. The boycott lives on!

We seem to have many unhinged people around. What would possess someone to threaten a reporter or their children with a horrible death because they don’t like the current news?

Facebook has asked large U.S. banks to share detailed financial information about their customers, including card transactions and checking account balances, as part of an effort to offer new services to users.

Trump and his attorneys need to stop the ridiculous see-saw talking points about Trump sitting down to talk with Robert Mueller. Everyone knows that the only way that will happen is with a subpoena. Trump can’t talk himself out of a paper bag without incriminating himself.
