Sound Off for June 19, 2017

Very simple

The question: How do we keep Russia from hacking our election again? The answer: Go back to paper ballots.

Enjoy, Dad

Tee hee. A Father’s Day special gift … a vacuum cleaner.

Ready to step in

Most people recognize that Donald Trump is mentally ill — probably suffering from paranoid delusional disorder. He needs to be removed from office to allow V.P. Pence to take over.

Well done

Thank you, Mr. President, for making our country safe and prosperous again. Now if you would just put Hillary Clinton in an orange jumpsuit, everything would be fine.

On my tab

If you are in the grocery store checking out and I’m in line behind you when you use your EBT card, you should turn around and thank me.

Our fault

Russia has accomplished exactly what they were after. Turned our government against each other and the whole world is laughing at us. Leave our President alone and let him do his job!

Blame game

The only "system" anyone is ever a victim of is the system that paid their mother to spit them out and then neglect them, leaving them a burden upon society, unable to handle any anger.

Can’t say ...

In Attorney General Jeff Sessions' Senate hearing he apparently developed Alzheimer's. He also claimed any questions posed to him would have to have Trump's approval before he could answer.

No parallel

Watergate: a crime occurred and Nixon was caught trying to protect his men. Trump-Russia collusion: Didn't happen, but Trump tried to end that distracting nonsense, so he's guilty of obstructing nothing.
