Make it make sense

I find it difficult to imagine why federal judges continue to block the deportations of illegal criminals from America. It makes no sense! They’re here illegally, they should be deported.

Seriously

To all the Trump and Elon hysteria in Sound Off, all if have to say is bless your heart.

When?

Do people even think when they tack the words “right now“ onto the end of a sentence, right now.

He did that

A few days ago someone asked in Sound Off about President Trump “I did that” stickers. You can order them from Amazon. I have a package of 100 which I would gladly share if we can find a way to meet.

Schumer did it

Ol’ Chuck Schumer caved to pass the budget that your president’s template outlined for Congress to Make America Great Again. This is great news for America and you, regardless of party.

FEMA

In the event of a natural disaster the federal government will send grants to the states. The states will NOT be responsible for the damages. President Trump feels the states involved in a disaster know the needs of its residents better than uninvolved persons. The dissolution of FEMA will eliminate the fraud and misuse of funds that have occurred in the past.

It’s so easy

I just found eleventybillion dollars in fraud in the XYZ Agency of the federal government. You wouldn’t believe how easy that is to do when you don’t have to provide any proof.
