Bad drivers
I just heard on WLOX news that daylight saving time had an increase of traffic deaths, really? The way people drive causes all accidents, not the weather or daylight savings time.
$100,000 to study streets?
So, Gulfport has an app called Gulfport Connect where citizens can report potholes that need repairing. Super easy. A news story the other day says they will spend $100,000 to study streets to see what needs to be paved. Seems that an IT specialist could do a query on the Gulfport Connect database and sort the results by street name and number of pothole repairs for that street. I would be willing to bet that the top 10 candidates for repaving would stick out like a sore thumb, and for a good bit less than $100,000.
Too many ads
An ad playing multiple times every day says the Americans are sick of Donald Trump. I can say that I’m sick of Michael Bloomberg’s ads. Bloomberg is an egoist controller who has promised to spend $2 billion of his vast fortune to buy this election. If you want to be controlled by Bloomberg and be told how to live your life, that’s your business but don’t decide to force that on me.
Not my vote
Mr. President, I am paying more in taxes since you created the new tax laws to only help the wealthy; my healthcare costs have risen this year; and last because you can’t come up with a unified better plan, you flooded my life with hundreds of idiotic tweets, you have made derogatory statements against women, and you can’t fix the gun violence or global warming issues. You are not making America great again. You are really doing a horrible job.
Trump 2020
What has Trump done for America? Surely you jest! Here are just a few: growing economy, oil/gas self reliance, no-nonsense approach to the protection of our country internationally and at our borders, appointment of Constitutionally conservative judges, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment...and best of all, despised by the liberal elite/media.
Said or did
I’d love to show you the videos of Trump contradicting himself on all issues, including healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, abortion. It would benefit you greatly if you fact-checked everything he says rather than what he spews at rallies.
Who’s side is he on?
Trump withheld funds from Ukraine an ally whom Russia’s is attacking. Our Congress backs Ukraine with $400 million in aid; Trump likes Putin so delays the money all summer. See the problem here?
Same thing?
Before the Democrats continue their impeachment melt down, they should read the powers given to any president by our Constitution. They should also review the records of past presidents to realize that others have taken the same actions as Trump with their approval. For example the GAO cited Obama seven times for illegal actions... no big deal?
