Won’t make the same mistake

When Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis becomes president in 2024, the first thing they need to do is clean house. Top of the list: the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and even the CIA. When Trump got into office in 2016, he was an outsider, listened to others who suggested people that they liked, but the majority of them were incompatible and outright traitors to Trump. This time around, he won’t make the same mistake. Same with DeSantis.

That’s what prisons are for

The problem was long ago when they took the death penalty away. Anybody that kills somebody without remorse for no reason, they deserve to die. I’m sorry. That would start emptying the jails. If you shoot somebody, you get a stiff penalty. You don’t get any meals, or schooling, or anything. You do work making license plates or something. We need to punish them, not reward them with letting them do what they want. That’s what the prisons are for.

Easy pick

Why should it be a revelation that all the illegal immigrants who are living in hotels in New York City are trashing the rooms, ruining the hotels and disrespecting the people who work there? What would you expect from Democrats? That’s exactly the way they act all the time. They break everything, they ruin everything and then they tell you they’re going to clean it up. Remember all the peaceful protests we had in America, where Democrats told us the demonstrations were mostly peaceful, and buildings were burning in the background, and 2,000 cops got injured, and 100 were wounded and some got killed. That’s the way Democrats are. Then, you have a conservative group show up for prayer day or any other event, and the streets are cleaner when they leave than when they got there. You pick which America you want, the morons or the conservatives? Easy pick if you’re not a moron.

Open to disaster

Someone wondered if we’re going to lose all our weapons giving them to Ukraine. And now I see in the paper that not only are they getting our tanks, but now they want us to give them jets. I mean, what are they stockpiling for, war against us? I think enough is enough. I think it’s crazy. Let somebody else dish out the money. We’re going to have nothing, and we’re going to be open to disaster.

Read the papers?

To the one that talks about “crying liberals” in the Talk of the County: Maybe you ought to read what’s going on. First of all, they’re not going after your handguns. They’re going after AR-15s and high-magazine rifles. I mean, don’t you read the papers? And that’s what the law is about. Nobody needs a high-powered rifle and an AR-15 for just shooting. That’s ridiculous, and you don’t hunt with that because that’s not a hunter’s rifle. So, you know, if you want to have a pistol or something else, that’s fine. But get your facts straight. I believe in this law. There’s nobody that needs it. Everybody that’s getting shot is usually with an AR-15.
