Not just him

If you’re going to criticize President Trump for his insider trading and no bid contracts, you must also include Nancy Pelosi, who has been doing this for decades.

Now what?

Tucker Carlson announced he will not be voting Republican in the midterms because they support other countries over America. Maybe the voters in Mississippi who just can’t vote for a Democratic candidate will at least ponder this.

Democrats

The Democratic Party has moved so far to the extreme left that it will never recover. This is not the party of your father and grandfather. They are Socialist and Communist and will be the death of a democracy that has survived for 250 years.

Make it make sense

How is it that every single win by Democrats is rigged but every Republican win is fair? Not possible. And why don’t they rig every election if they’re so good at cheating? The answer is that Donald Trump is a big fat liar who uses preemptive brainwashing techniques on his followers to “prove” that he “always wins” because he is an egomaniacal, petty little man who refuses to grow up.

Keep saying it

President Trump says America is better now, but if that’s true, why do you have to say it? It should be obvious, if it’s true.

His words

Back in May, President Trump claimed the new Reflecting Pool liner was so tough “if you had a knife, you can’t even cut it.”

Pool vandals

Leave it to this administration to magically find a scapegoat for their incompetence. They found someone who Trump says cut the Reflecting Pool liner and pulled up pieces. Sorry, the pool is made of concrete and granite. It’s not vinyl. It was painted by Trump’s no-bid contractor who didn’t allow the paint to cure before they dumped massive chemicals to kill the algae. As usual, the $2M project is now $15M. And why is the National Park Service cleaning up the mess made by the contractor. The contractor shouldn’t receive a penny more than the ridiculous $2M contract.
