Republicans now what Democrats to reach across the aisle? How about the Republicans ridding themselves of Trump and the QAnon conspiracy and white supremacist representatives in Congress? I’m sure the Democrats will work with you on that.

We all know that things like facts and mathematics are not popular with conservative Republicans, but $1,400 plus the $600 you already got makes $2,000. Not exactly higher mathematics.

Those people who choose to wear their mask only over their mouth and not their nose really confuse me.Do you think that the coronavirus only comes out your mouth? It comes from your lungs. If you breathe through your nose and don’t have it covered, you are still spreading the virus.

Trump told us the virus was a hoax — it’s just a few cases, and it’s under control.He then told us not to wear masks, to push back against any containment measures, and demand your state be liberated. He then failed to purchase vaccines when he had the chance, and held rallies against the advice of viral experts. Trump’s behavior got us to where we are now, and any current fatalities from COVID-19 should go on Trump’s tab, not Joe Biden’s.

Why did every radical and conspiracy theory group in our country rally around Trump? Something is very wrong with your hero. Patriot, you say? Not quite.

How sweet it is not to have dozens of tweetsevery day from Bozo the Orange Clown.

Indianapolis Blvd. through St. John todaywas poorly plowed. I expected better.

If Trump revived his old TV show “Celebrity Apprentice,” he should invite the Myanmar military to compete. They would win hands down. “Fire!” instead of “You’re fired”.

Although he has condemned Marjorie Taylor Greene’s outrageous behavior, Ohio Senator Rob Portman stops short of saying she should be expelled from office, declaring that the voters in Georgia who elected her “ought to be respected.” Respect them? For inflicting this terrible person on our country? They knew who she is and what she is. They deserve no respect.

Evidence now says 143 police officers were injured on the attack on the Capitol. Two lost their lives and six were critically injured. One lost an eye while being struct with a hockey stick another stabbed in the lung with a Trump flag. So if you still support Trump’s lies about he won the election which started this coup, then you cant say you support the police. Blue lives matter even when white supremacists attack them. Stop being a hypocrite.

Let’s hope we are all as sharp, active, and hard working as Joe Biden when we are 78 years old.Not all people in their 70s spend all their time on the golf course. Quit with the ageism comments. He is more productive than many of you.

Good thing we have term limits for our Presidents of the USA. We should have term limits for ALL elected and appointed government officials, from Town Council, all the way up.

Black Lives Matter has been nominated for a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.I can hear Trump wailing and screaming already.

It is obvious that those who are making jokes, saying President Biden has Alzheimer’s, have never had to care for someone who has it. It is a heartbreaking, devastating way to have to live. There is nothing about it to make light of. Think of those dealing with the actual illness, before you make fun. Your “jokes” are just are not funny.

For years, Republicans have spread the lie that the federal government is your enemy, just so they can attract angry voters. The Capitol attack showed where that lie leads people. Our Founding Fathers created our federal government. It’s not your enemy. It’s our military, Social Security, Medicare, Interstate highways, Homeland Security to name a few. Try living without these. So don’t fall for the big lie. It’s dangerous.

In 2016, Donald beat Hillary and made himself the most hated man in America. The sore loser movement was born. But, in 2020 Joe beat Donald. Cannot we call it a draw and stop all of these hate and revenge projects that tear the nation apart? End the quest to get our oil from foreign sources, end the impeachment farce, stop the move to ship our best jobs overseas, and end the move to allow criminals to cross our borders unrestricted. I do believe that America has just shot itself in the foot!

President Biden pledged to try and unite Americans. He didn’t pledge to unite the two political parties. That’s impossible when they have opposing ideologies. Now that the Republicans have shown they have no interest in bipartisanship it is time to get to work on the Biden agenda by any legal means necessary. Do that and the unity will follow.

Coke, Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Audi and other regular big name advertisers have decided to forgo this year’s Super Bowl.They are going to donate their advertising dollars towards COVID-19 relief.

Media footage has greatly aided authorities in arresting ringleaders who stormed our U.S. Capitol. Kudos. We also have a full year of dramatic footage on those who have burned and looted much of downtown Portland and continue to do so. Are we also pursuing these anarchists with full intensity? If so, we hear little about it and nothing seems to be working.

It is very disheartening to see just how many people wear their ignoranceas if it were a badge of honor.

Republicans now want to hold up Biden’s stimulus because its cost too much? They had no problem giving millionaires billions of taxpayer dollars in Trump’s tax breaks. They could care less about the middle class or poor. It’s a shame that both groups vote against their own interests.
