Comey

Posted By Mel Maki

These hearings do give us a chance to see some politicians thinking on their feet. Maybe we need an age limit. McCain is eighty.

Trump Speech Racist

I haven't liked anything Peter Beinart has written. He says Trump is speaking as a head of a tribe.

What, me worry?

Posted By Mel Maki

Ok, I'll make it personal. Why do you forum members think it is ok that we spend 50% more than we take in. Year after year. Are you pretending this problem will just go away? Out of sight, out of mind? Maybe if we get some more Dems elected? Some more Repubs elected? If a politician offers that a spending freeze could help he knows he will be defeated. If that is the case how can you claim our system works? This is the biggest threat to our country and nobody will seriously discuss it. The political parties are there to re-elect the members, period. If a politician keeps his mouth shut he will be re-elected. Ninety-some per cent do get re-elected.

Taxes and spending are never high enough.

Posted By Mel Maki

Why don't liberals just say it. It will make them feel better.
"The problem with America is taxes are just too low. We need more taxing and more spending."
As Clinton once said, "I could give you a tax cut but you wouldn't spend it in the right place!"

Really? Could this be true? Because they are illegal aliens?

How long would've Obama lasted if full transcripts of his conversations with leaders were out?

Trumpism is Bigger than Trump

Posted By Mel Maki

The man Trump backed in Alabama lost. Heard somebody say Trump was overcome by Trumpism.

PC Nonsense

Posted By Mel Maki

Liberals didn't sound so good today.
If we change to increase our security the terrorists win? No, and the first time I heard this line of "thinking" it was obviously wrong and surprising how many repeated it.
This guy was a "lone wolf?" No, he and his like-minded believers certainly don't think so.

Family Pays

Posted By Mel Maki

I think this could make a difference. The killer's family would be deported. People in his community saw him and two others in the truck weeks before the slaughter. One remarked it didn't make sense that he rented this truck and didn't use it. This would add pressure to the majority that are good citizens in the community. A bad idea?
