Fit for office?
To the millions of voters out there who are planning to hand the keys to the greatest country on earth over to Donald Trump, I have a question for you. If he were a plumber by trade, and you did your due diligence and did a background check and his criminal record came up, would you let this man in your house and around your family to fix your leaky faucet? I bet not.
Enough
I’m not a Never-Trumper, I voted for him twice. But, I’ve decided that even these Communists on the left can’t be as bad as he is. The moral decline, the damage to political discourse, and, something we ultra-conservatives don’t discuss much, the environmental damage. We know he will roll back environmental protections that may do irreparable harm to our planet.
Who’s the boss?
The shameful plea deal offered to some of the Gitmo detainees to avoid the death penalty was agreed upon without President Biden’s knowledge, according to the White House and Defense Department spokesman. How is that possible? Is Biden president until the election or not?
Race
Why is it OK for Simone Biles to say she is happy it was an “all-Black” Olympic podium? If a White person said that, it would be called racist and all over the news.
Poor representative
When you put the name of your business or the name of your alma mater on your vehicle or your clothing, then go out in public and drive or act like a jerk, nobody is going to want to do business with your company or you have represented your school poorly.
Avoid a war
I’m praying that Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t lead us into a war with Iran. Since we are their allies, we may have to take sides.
No lion’s den
The “Lion’s den” that Donald Trump voluntarily went to was not liberal journalists. A FOX News journalist was also at the NABJ Convention. Trump was not attacked, he was asked truthful questions about awful things he has said about Black people and why he thinks they should vote for him. He did not answer questions truthfully, he lied and went off on rants. If Trump would attend the debate he had agreed to, then both candidates will have to answer tough questions for all to see.
