Cabinet picks

Donald Trump’s administration picks are obviously not based on qualifications, but on who is on board with his retribution agenda and who he can control. This screams “dictator.” The despised left knew this was coming a long time ago, and the spineless right has yet to figure it out.

Biden’s pardon

It seems that President Biden’s pardon of Hunter has a twisted scenario. Why does this pardon go back to 2014? Could it be to protect any illegal activities associated with President Biden and Hunter involving foreign countries and monies laundered? This pardon doesn’t seem justified in its broad ramifications for just the intent of clearing Hunter’s criminal record.

GOP loyalty

It is so obvious that Donald Trump is testing Republican loyalty by picking the most inexperienced, unqualified and controversial people for hugely important positions to make them bow to his will. If they vote against any of them, they will be on the cancel list. This is what people elected, a man who puts this garbage above the well being of our country and all of us.

Being liberal

You were doing good with the definition of a liberal until you got to the part about “supporting free enterprise.” Free enterprise is the antithesis of socialism, which is the heart and soul of being a liberal. Re-write your definition or find a dictionary not written by Trotsky or Lenin.

He’ll change

Just as Donald Trump “morphed” on abortion, watch for Robert Kennedy Jr. to “morph” on red dye No. 2 in cereal when the pressure is applied.

Trump’s mandate

Republicans have been handed the White House, the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. Whether Donald Trump won by 11 votes or 11 million, that’s a mandate. It’s go time.

Which side?

If we go to war against Russia, whose side are we on?
