“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…”

“I cannot understand why the president (notice lower case, not just Trump) can get temporary immunity or not be indicted while in office. Because he might be distracted in his job? Isn't that why we have something called a vice president? Doesn't the VP take over automatically if the president get…”

“I am glad you are strongly concerned that workers and small businesses are ensured getting help and that big businesses don't use such help as a cash-cow for execs and shareholders. However, adding such things as a demand that airlines cut emissions, unless that's simply a bargaining chip, delays th…”

“I have brilliant, creative grand daughters who need to know the impact that American women have had on the birth and development of the United States. I am a believer of equal rights for women in all things. However, I think it is most important that what women have fought for, accomplished, and hav…”
