If this sick slob New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg goes through with this phony and partisan indictment of former President Donald Trump, then he should be quickly disbarred from practicing law. This is the George Soros-funded, leftist prosecutor who downgrades felonies to misdemeanors and reduces jail sentences and fines for violent criminal defendants in New York. This should be a wake-up call that America is soon turning into a banana republic. How shameful.

Pat from Lemont, you obviously did not read my post very carefully. I said those people Jan 6 did not belong in that building or on the grounds. They were wrong. My point was how come the make-believe, dog and pony show Jan. 6 committee and mainstream media didn’t show multitudes of police officers opening doors, holding doors, letting people file by. Not one of those police officers was held to task or asked questions in front of that make-believe committee.

Bill in Plainfield, do you remember how Trump and the Republicans would overpower and remove freedom of speech by actually kicking out or having removed audience or crowd attendees and media personnel from events for saying or asking things Trump and company didn’t like, agree with or want to hear? Also, Twitter owner narcissist and egomaniacal Elon Musk always speaks and writes for effect and attention. He is like Trump with his bottom line and wealth focus.

I think we’ve tried solving crime with compassion, but we now know that generally doesn’t work. I know what will reduce the recidivism rate. The death penalty, where appropriate, i.e., indiscriminate murders. Next, for carrying a gun illegally, prison time and zip ties to make sure that they don’t reproduce. Also, for fathers who won’t pay child support, use zip ties to make sure they don’t have more kids that they won’t take care of and numerous other crimes where stupidity and cruelty stand out as the causes.

We are shocked and disappointed that Tinley Park approved a liquor license for a hot dog shop. What’s next? Liquor at McDonalds?
