Take a chill pill
Why are people so sick in the head? People wanted Clarence Thomas, who was ill and recovering, dead. What is wrong, and what has happened to our society? I just can’t believe it. These are people that are on the left? And these are the people that want to lead our country? I’d say not. This is the most unforgiving group of people that exist on this planet. You folks need to take a chill pill.
I know wrong when I see it
My question is to the Russians who make the United States their home: What is Russia getting out of this, instigating this war on Ukraine? From what I have been watching, Russia is the aggressor and it’s so wrong. So, anybody who believes that’s incorrect, you belong over in Europe, fighting this war against Russia. I’m not Ukrainian and I’m not Russian, but I know wrong when I see wrong.
Where are the trees?
I noticed the other day that Greenbelt Forest Preserve has been totally taken down. Why? Why have all the trees and everything that was there been removed? Where are wild animals supposed to go when you have everyday folks that cry and moan that deer and other animals are in their backyards?
Pay up
I’d like to say one thing about Social Security — what you put into it, you get out. If you don’t put anything into it, you don’t have any right to get anything out of it. Another thing, how about the IOUs that the government owes us? Like when Clinton was in there, be borrowed. I don’t remember him asking me if he can borrow my money. That’s our money we worked for all of our lives. I’m a senior on Social Security. What do you mean IOUs? Give me back what you owe.
All kinds of chances
This is in response to “Give her a chance.” We have given Mayor Taylor all kinds of chances. It’s been going on a year. What has Mayor Taylor done? Whether she is not at fault, she is the head. She’s the one who put the police there. The same thing she argued other mayors were doing, she’s doing and she’s doing it worse.
Stifled the story
I had to laugh at the contributor talking about conservatives listening to Fox News and Newsmax, and listening to QAnon. Well, most of us don’t listen to QAnon in the first place. They’re like the left-wing extremists of the Democrat Party. So, we’re not really in bed with those guys. But you talk about talking points, well here we go. The Hunter Biden story comes out 18 months after the election that it was indeed Hunter Biden’s laptop, and he was indeed trading his dad’s name for money in Ukraine, Russia and in China. And the mainstream media — the stuff you listen to, or the lamestream media, or the misinformation media — stifled the story because they didn’t want President Trump to win because they had Trump derangement syndrome, just like you do. So, they stifled the story because they didn’t want Trump to win.
Look stupid and dumbfounded
Even after all these anti-vote laws the Republicans are pushing, more than likely in the next election they’ll have so riled up the Democrats that even with all of those laws, they will probably still beat Trump if he runs. They’ll still whip him by 6 million or 8 million, even after throwing out 4 million or 5 million votes because of all those voting laws. Even then, the Democrats will probably still win by 6 million to 8 million votes, and then the Republicans can sit there among their anti-vote laws and look stupid and dumbfounded by what happened. And then they can’t say, well we’ve got to repeal these laws we just passed.
