What’s the difference?

Hey, I need one of you Trumpers or one of you Republican conservatives to call back in and let me know how come the Republicans don’t want to investigate the Jan. 6 riot? Why don’t they want to investigate that? These are the same people who spent 21/2 years investigating Benghazi. Now, all of a sudden, nothing to see here folks, move along. Sorry, boys and girls, but we still have at least another year and a half of investigations to go here.

It’s either one or the other

A year and a month into President Biden’s presidency, it is now time to ask the most important question of our hour. If you voted for President Biden, did you vote for him because you were absolutely for him, or did you vote against President Trump because you didn’t like his personality? The answer to that question will allow you to know whether you are completely ignorant or not. If you voted for President Biden because you thought he would be a great president, then you were just wrong. And if you voted for President Biden because you hated President Trump, you are ignorant. So, it’s either one or the other.

No guts

We had an incident in Waukegan a couple of weeks ago, where a young man was shot in the face for doing his job at Dollar General. He is 18 years old, people, 18 years old. And he was shot in the face. Thank God, the kid is alive. However, he’s going to need a lot of surgeries, and other medical costs while this thug who shot him is running rampant through the streets — the guy who has no honor, has no guts to come in and turn himself in.

You need to seek professional help

This is in response to “Enemy of the American democracy,” where this moron who calls people who still support Trump unpatriotic, anti-American and seditionists, and enemies of the state, and enemies of American democracy. So I would say to the contributor that if he would rather vote for Biden than Trump, you should apply for psychiatric help under the infrastructure bill. It should cover anything a sheeple like you has been infected with by Trump derangement syndrome. I still support Bone Spurs over Bone Head, and the traitorous Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I served in the Marine Corps for six years. Seriously. You need to seek professional help.

I don’t know where your eyeballs are

Excuses, excuses and more excuses. All the shoplifters I’ve seen on TV are not stealing baby formula, AOC. I don’t know where your eyeballs are, but they apparently are not in your head. What, maybe people should be doing is working two jobs.

You people are crazy

This is in response to the entry titled “Fascist mandates,” to the individual who supports the Canadian freedom convoy and the other similar ones around the world. Why stop with just fascist mandates that are trying to protect the health of our populace? Why don’t we fight to get rid of all mandates? Why do we have to stop at a red light when there are no cars coming? Why do we have to stop at a stop sign when there aren’t any other cars that are going through the intersection? Why do we need to follow speed limits when we’re in a hurry, and we know that we can handle a higher speed than what’s posted on the road? Why do we need to have clean water and clean air? Let everybody be on their own. We should all be free. That’s what we want. Our freedom to do whatever we want regardless of how it affects the others that we must live among. You people are crazy.

Bone Head, not Bone Spurs

I love Talk of the County because every day I get to read the ignorant offerings of leftist Democrat contributors. “So embarrassed from being conned” was the one. It called President Trump a racist buffoon, a serial sexual predator, habitual liar and high-end con man. I seriously thought the contributor was talking about Bone Head, not Bone Spurs.
