Double standard
Good old double standard. I could just picture the media and the newspapers blasting President Trump if he pulled a stunt like this. In the middle of snowstorms in New York, people dying across the country because they can’t afford to turn their furnaces up, and this president and his family take a vacation to the Virgin Islands? We’re fighting inflation, open borders and he takes probably a tax-funded trip to the Virgin Islands. Good old double standard. If this was Trump, you’d be calling him everything but a child of God.
They stole our money
More Top Picks Best Bagel Slicers
This is to the memory challenged Republican buffoons who keep calling in, whining and complaining about the debt level. Your boy Bone Spur stole $2 trillion — that’s with a T — of our dollars. They stole from us working taxpayers. But Bone Spur and the Republicans stole $2 trillion of our dollars in 2017. They were going to give us the trickle-down effect. Nothing trickled down. The trickle-down effect does not work. It is insane. They stole $2 trillion of our dollars, and we would like it back. All of that $2 trillion, by the way, was put on the deficit. It was put on top of the deficit. Bone Spur and the Republicans added to our deficit so they could get all that money and keep it for themselves.
Lord, help us
This is targeted to “Not worthy of being American.” This is really getting scary. Everything is unfolding just like Hitler did it. First, you Democrats take away our guns. And now you’re working on taking away our freedom of speech. You’ve got the FBI paying Twitter and Facebook millions of dollars to remove conservative ideas. And now you’ve got some clown, who I’m sure is a Democrat, calling in about Christianity. What difference does it make? Actually, we’re all Christians. If you’re a Catholic, you’re still a Christian. You just have a different idea of faith. We’re all Christians. By God, this one person is going to start this kind of junk, and now you’re going to attack Christianity? Lord, help us.
Let’s get together
I can’t understand the citizens in Waukegan. Why can’t you take a day out of your week or on the weekend, and just pick the garbage up in your neighborhood. We’re all responsible. You can’t keep blaming one person. You’ve got garbage trucks that don’t care to put down their lids, so garbage flies all over. We’ve got plastic bags all over Waukegan. Nobody wants to do their part. No one in this city. They want everybody else to pick up the garbage and do their part. Come on folks, let’s get together and clean up the city of Waukegan together.
You are a moron
To the contributor to Talk of the County who was disparaging Donald Trump and Fox News: It’s ironic that he mentions all the legacy media outlets like NBC, ABC, CBS, public broadcasting network, MSNBC, CNN — all those. It’s really ironic that this moron would cite the six outlets of the legacy media that were two years behind on all the stories that broke — all the stories that they said were conspiracy theories have proven to be true, and Fox News was two years plus ahead of them on everything. You notice how the southern border is finally being noticed by the legacy media after two years of Fox News already reporting about it every single day for the last two years. Well Mr. Blunderhead, who contributed to the Talk of the County, start listening to a news broadcast that brings you the news two years before the legacy media. Seriously, you are a moron.
Hope you’re all happy
Thank you, and congratulations to all you people that voted for Pritzker to be our governor. With the new year, the gas tax is going to increase and the tax on food is coming back. I hope you’re all happy. I hope you can afford to live, thanks to him.
