“All of us should have known that this combination of Mussolini and Bernie Madoff with a comb-over would go down yesterday's road from the day he announced his candidacy. His only skill is con-man. No better examples are there then how people such as Cruz and Graham, whom he savagely attacked in thei…”

“I vote against having counties certify their votes because, if I understand what Ms. Palmer said, that is wrong. The votes are in. They were counted and Joe Biden won. What really worries me is that I see many in this country -- millions of voters and fearful, power-hungry politicians -- marching do…”

“Congress should be kept in session until relief is approved and in process of being delivered to those out of work, those facing eviction, and states needing funds to maintain their essential services. If Congressional leadership will not act, individual members should at least refuse to leave for T…”

“As a veteran, I know what such weapons are for. They aren't toys or meant for sport. They are meant to do as much damage to a person's body as possible. If a hunter needs such a weapon to bring down a deer, he isn't much of a hunter. I don't deny people who like to target or skeet competitions or hu…”

“Besides asking him if he knows what sedition means, I'm always fascinated that he claims he has these wonderful plans that will make America essentially heaven on earth. Ask him to spell out in detail what his health plan supposedly is to replace ACA and why did he not put it before Congress when he…”

“Absolutely concerned. The seeds of the Civil War have never been crushed. White supremacists, Neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, or whatever we call them, are simply the sprouting again of those seeds. Until an entire generation espouses the Golden Rule, those seeds will sprout again and again. ”

“Pure politics. As McConnell has the majority in the Senate and a so-called Republican president, then that's that. "Tough noogies," as we say in New York. If the Senate and the current president really cared about the well-being of America, this wouldn't matter. Perhaps the next Congress will modify…”

“I would want him to answer that, but f, before that, I want him make sure Americans understand that Trump, McConnell and their gang have themselves packed the court. Did they not deny the nomination of a president who still had nearly a year left in office? Then, are they not now pushing through ano…”

“First, it's the right of Congress in the 25th Amendment. Second, it's required if even only looking at Trump's most recent actions. He vacillates from one want to another, tweets for hours a day when he's supposed to be doing some kind of work for us. Third, and perhaps most importantly, he should b…”

“I am amazed at the hypocrisy! Taking out machines and cutting overtime to make operations more efficient?! That's like a trucking company owner wanting to improve efficiency because his trucks are old and often need repairs. So he junks them. Except, he doesn't order new trucks until after the old o…”

“Anything for better diversity is an improvement. Being from the NY Long Island area, our districts are terribly segregated. And, there are far too many of them. The number of district offices alone drives up school taxes far too high. Our districts here should be combined, rich districts with poor …”

“It's a tough time and we worry about the future of the airlines. Still, they should refund fees to customers for flights cancelled. Since the flights never took place the airlines shouldn't have spent any of that money. Silly as I may seem, if the airlines just put early payments into some interest-…”

“Absolutely they should come down! Statues are symbols of honor. They say to viewers, "This is a person you should emulate." How can we possibly have statues of traitors and people who fought and worked to undermine the tenet that "all men [I'll let that go for now] are created equal"? The argument t…”
