No fan of Republicans

The president spends his time railing against the investigation into Russian cyberattacks on the 2016 election. His bombastic rhetoric and disgusting attitude against the investigation, and those conducting it, indicate he has no respect for his oath of office, the Constitution, the rule of law, or, in fact, for the security of the United States.

Donald Trump rants at the press actually saying that negative news about him is fake news. He acts guilty of something. Maybe it is the half-billion dollar loan from China to finance his Indonesian resort, while ordering the Commerce Department to stop its ban/sanction on the Chinese tech giant, ZTE, for selling cell phones that can be controlled by China.

Various Cabinet members believe the taxes we pay are for their personal use and pleasure. It is both despicable and illegal. Jobs are leaving. Erie GE lost 1,500 jobs last year; and Reznor in Mercer is closing. The Erie and Grove City GE plants have been sold and how that works out could adversely impact 1,000 employees just in Grove City. The steel tariff could close NLMK in Farrell, costing 750 jobs.

The swamp is Trump’s only infrastructure project. The tax scam and the current budget have added about $3 trillion to the national debt and the Republicans in Congress want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all entitlement programs to cover that debt. They believe the only people who are entitled to government help are the wealthy and corporations so they can all “buy” politicians.

Wealth and power! What kind of nation have we become? When are we going to stand up to the corruption and fraud going on in the White House, the Cabinet and with various members of Congress? It’s time to take back our country!
