President Obama said“Being a strong man includes being kind.” People seem to forget that kindness gets you far in life.

Quite a tribute to Rep. Elijah Cummings by former presidents, staff, friends and family. Those who today luxuriate in power will never know this level of love and adulation.

Bill Clinton said at the funeral for Elijah Cummings “You can’t run a free society if you have to hate everybody you disagree with.” Amen.

When does Felicity Huffman’s book and movie come out about her life behind bars? Should be a short novel and the movie can be a trailer.

So many of these “selective-Christians” are the biggest joke. Proclaiming that you are a devout Christian doesn’t make you one. You must actually live a Christian life. I can go sit in my garage every Sunday morning, but that doesn’t make me a car.

Why hasn’t the Department of Justice started an investigation into those serious irregularities that led to Jeffrey Epstein being able to “kill himself” right at the opportune moment that guards were asleep and the monitors broke?

The Republicans are telling their“too dumb to know better” followers, that the Democrats are not following any established rules in this Impeachment Inquiry. And, par for the course, none of them are questioning their words or their tactics. A little bit of checking would prove all of their bluster to be lies. But anger and fear is what drives Trump’s party, never any solid facts.

Attorney General William Barr is working day and night to absolve America’s enemies of responsibility for their attacks on our homeland. Doesn’t that concern you? It should scare the hell out of every citizen and they should be demanding his ouster.

So Ivanka and Jared are havingan anniversary party at Camp David. The taxpayers will foot the bill again. Have these people no shame or didn’t they read the emoluments clause?

Kind of odd how Trump is demanding all of this transparency from the whistleblower and from the Impeachment Inquiry team. Did he forget about his obvious obstruction during Mueller’s investigation? He wouldn’t talk to him, or give a deposition, he constantly tried to block everyone else from talking to investigators, and he is still using those tactics in this investigation. So transparency is only good when he wants it, otherwise, forget it. Got it.

The most thankless job in the worldright now would be becoming the communications director for Trump’s impeachment team. Trump will remain in charge and will continue to throw wild passes and undermine everything that is said. Who would want that migraine every day?

Trump’s new press secretarydoesn’t show up very often, but the other day she said “those against Trump deserve to be called human scum.” So is this not America any longer, and are we no longer allowed to have our own opinions?

So, if Trump really thinksthat he did nothing wrong, and his phone call to the Ukraine president was “perfect,” why does he feel that he has to repeat it like a cuckoo clock on an hourly basis?
