Not the right focus

The problem with the police department who arrested this 15-year-old boy was not the fact that he was hauled out of school. That’s pretty bad, but the problem was that they browbeat him, and forced him into making a confession by promising him a hamburger. That is the problem with this case. The fact that they coerced a confession out of a 15-year-old boy. That is what needs to be resolved, not the fact that he was taken out of high school. And, yes, he definitely should have had his parents with him when he was interrogated.

He’s a traitor

This is to the Trump speech writer who wrote in with “Clown circus.” You can say everything you want. It might all be true what you say. Your boy, Bone Spur, had an insurrection against the United States government. He is a traitor.

Festering pimples

Sorry to say that Donald Trump and most all Republicans are nothing more than festering pimples on the butt of this globe.

Another small-minded official

It’s time for another one to drop — another small-minded official to be eliminated in Illinois. That is J.B. Pritzker. It’s time to go. You’re another one of Madigan’s corrupt people. Madigan was the one that put you there. Now let’s get the people to take you out.

What’s going on?

If Republicans are all for self-choice and keeping the government out of your lives, why are these Republican bozos down in Florida continuing to pass these laws where the government is telling you what you can and can’t do? What is going on, Republicans? Are you for freedom of choice or not? Speak, please.

Change the channel

This comment is directed to the person who said we should not watch Colbert on TV. You find him disgusting? How can you find him disgusting unless you yourself are watching and listening to him? Change the channel. Get a life.

Take a look around

The United States might want to send this crazy leader Putin some pictures of what happened to Saddam Hussein. Putin and Lavrov might want to take a look around.

Wasted your votes

You have only one person to blame for high gas prices, your incompetent President Joe Biden who never blames himself for all the mistakes he has made. I hope all you Democrats enjoy all these high prices at the pump. As Uncle Joe says, they are going to go higher. In my opinion, you Democrats wasted your votes on him.
