No more lifetime jobs: While our founding fathers were brilliant in forming a more perfect union, their historic framework for a democratic society is not without its loopholes. It’s time to rethink the concept of lifetime appointments for the Supreme Court and replace it with term limits before another Clarence Thomas is allowed to dishonor the highest court in the land.
Fred Bassett explanation: In reference to the Fred Basset comic strip, from years of reading this strip, I gather Alex Graham is in England. Baseball is not a huge sport across the pond.
Don’t be a sucker: This is for those who say that Joe Biden is responsible for dividing the country. Have you been living in a bubble for the last seven years? Trump is even dividing the Republican Party. So don’t say it’s on Biden; it is on Trump. Like P.T. Barnum said, there’s a sucker born every minute, and P.T. Barnum is Donald Trump.
Watching a slow death? When are Republican leaders going to stop pulling the trigger on themselves? It is like watching a loved one bingeing on drugs and slowly going downhill. Are they out of touch with reality? What happened with Wisconsin becoming a blue state will happen to Georgia, Florida and more states not dealing with reality and listening to their constituents. Women’s rights, gender rights and let’s not forget the big one, race relations, are key to whether a state turns blue.
Call me your highness: Now that being transgender is like a badge of honor and is becoming the new normal, shouldn’t everyone get the opportunity to be addressed as they identify? From now on you will address me as your royal highness or I’ll get a lawyer, see you in court and ruin your life. Fair is fair.
Quick Fox News report: Speak Out is generally filled with nonsense from Donald Trump supporters. The only positive thing about it is it lets the rest of us not bother watching Fox to find out what silliness is being pushed. So, thank you Speak Out conservative callers.
