What’s this fixation with the Democrats to have so many photo ops lately? Is it their newfound toy. Their publicity stunts are for political reasons  and are on the taxpayers’ dime. The most despicable one today was the knee down in the congressional chambers — going for the black vote! Made them look like anti-American NFL players!

The president used the military police to break up a peaceful protest. This sure seems like an attempt to stop free speech. All this for an opportunity to hold up a bible in front of a church merely for a campaign photo opportunity.  I think his time would be better spent reading the bible instead of using it as a campaign prop.

So Donald Trump (aka, “Commander Bone Spurs”) is “a real man,” unlike those “namby pamby” governors who actually try to distinguish legitimate protesters from looters. Just “dominate” all of them. Keep yapping, Trump chump, because the more you do, the more we recognize the kind of people who support this goon.

My son got to vote for the first time Tuesday. I wanted to go early, he said he didn’t know enough about the candidates. I gave him a five-hour window to educate himself. We went together and when they asked what party, he replied Democratic. My heart grew three sizes that day.

Rep. Steve King, an  Iowa Republican, was ousted after serving for 18 years.  American voters have gotten very tired of his blatant racist views.  Clean them all out.

I just hope that these protesters remember in November why and for what they are protesting and vote to remove (President Donald Trump and the GOP) from the White House and Congress.  Otherwise their protesting is in vain.

If we have empty stadiums, will there be fake crowd noise like fake laughter in a sitcom on TV. The TV laughter is so phony after every joke, will the crowd noise rise or lower on every play on the field?

He always talks about how the world is laughing at the governors right now.  The only person the world is laughing at is the President of the United States. He has no idea how to do anything.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper does not agree with Trump about sending troops to fight the riots. He will be out of a job for not agreeing with Trump by next week. Trump only allows followers who do not question his reasoning.

Thank you for posting my contributions. My daughter is away at college doing research for her internship. I get so excited to tell her what I posted, and that it was printed during our evening chats.
