Sound Off for August 7, 2016

Quite a stretch

Only lying Democrats could twist "DNC caught election-rigging" into "GOP in collusion with KGB."

‘Solution’ in search of a problem

The only voter fraud is the fraud perpetrated by legislators who claim voter fraud to pass restrictive voter laws.

Historically, it fits

You're right. The cartoon is a remake of the 1964 "Daisy" ad. Trump's mentality is the Republican mentality of 1954, hence the cartoon is very telling.

Talking points to the contrary

Dear Trump: Anger is not a policy. Crudeness is not a platform. Ignorance is not a governing philosophy.

Power earns respect

Leaders in Russia respect strength, not weakness, which is why cooperation is achieved by leaders like Reagan and Trump, not Obama and Hillary.

On the altar of ego

Trump's only sacrifice, it seems, is the Republican Party as we know it.

Costly self-indulgence

Anybody who votes for Darr is being blind to his selfish incompetence in costing our city money that we don’t have, by refusing to prioritize the expenses of his office.

Do as I say ...

Comrade Trump, with tongue in cheek, has called upon his fellow comrades to come clean. He completely ignores revealing his tax returns. Typical comrade conduct.

Should we rewrite it?

The Statue of Liberty invitation asking "masses" of people to move here is not a law or policy. It was written by a French woman. Look at how that philosophy's worked out for France recently.
