Sound Off for January 20, 2018

All or nothing

Remember the good ol' days when politicians tried to represent all of their constituents? We're so polarized now that they're either 100% liberal or 100% conservative, and everyone else be damned.

About-face

Sequestration: A Republican idea demanded in 2013 to reduce the deficit. Hmm … Now they don’t like it?

‘Fake’ indeed

Fake-Christian, fake-patriot Trump supporters, how's that NFL boycott working for you? Fight against income equality instead; your grandchildren will be on bread lines because of you.

Make the point

I hope those countries Trump is alleged to have badmouthed will be so mad at us that they will take no more money from America. That would show us.

Full disclosure

Our President’s physical exam results will be made public just like his tax returns.

America first

I did not vote for Sanford Bishop to focus his political concern on illegal aliens over US citizens. I will cast my vote next time for a candidate who will look out for us first.

Preventable

Columbus government channel mentions "inmates digging through your garbage," implying there's nothing to prevent it. Really? Run outside and yell at the officer to get off his butt and do his job!
