Sound Off: Sept. 12, 2024

David Muir

I am angry at ABC and David Muir because Muir introduced Trump as “President Trump” rather than “former President Trump” and he gave much more airtime to Trump. The purpose of the stated time limits for statements and responses, plus the mutable microphones, was to prevent time abuse. Shame on Muir

Electoral College

Finally an intelligent Sound Off debunking the need of the Electoral College. Every single election from school board to U.S. Senate is determined by who gets the most votes — the same principle worldwide in all Democracies.

Migrant crime

If a migrant who should, under US immigration law, be detained rather than being “paroled into the United States” as has been occurring for the last 3.5 years, commits a crime against you, you likely will not care one whit about what the difference in crime rates is.

It never ends

MAGA extremists are now promoting another lie. In Ohio, they are warning the public to protect their pets because immigrants are killing and eating pet kittens and ducks. Unfortunately the gullible far right believe it. Sen. Vance brought the story to the forefront.

Putin is clever

Of course Vladimir Putin said he prefers Vice President Harris. That’s because he knows he is disliked intensely by most Americans, so he knows by endorsing Harris he will turn some voters toward Donald Trump, whom he really prefers. After all, Trump said that if he is elected, then Putin can do whatever he wants in Ukraine and other European countries.

No moral character

It’s a shame the Republican elite like Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham, have no backbone. They initially voiced their contempt for Donald Trump on what he instigated and did on Jan. 6th and then flip-flopped and caved to the bully. No moral Character.

Dogs and cats, huh?

They’re eating our DOGS. And our cats. They’re eating our pets. I saw it on TV. And that’s the guy 70 million Americans are about to vote for.
