Attention Quickly: Why not be creative and kind? How about having a TRUMP-FREE day!

Incompetence and ego have started more than one bloody war in history. This situation is exactly what most people feared about electing Trump.

We have a history of leaders starting wars to solve problems at home. If a few million people die, they think that's a fair price to protect their greatness. Any fool can start a war, but once it's started, it almost never goes as expected.

President Trump warned North Korea that his threats "will be met with fire and fury and frankly power the likes the world has never seen." Great, one unstable madman threatening another unstable madman. We could really use a thoughtful, sober, sane president right now.

Reading about the Buncich trial I found two interesting things. One was the e-mails about ethics and political activities on government time. And the concern about being recorded at these meetings. Everyone knew what they were doing was wrong, yet they were trying to cover their tracks.

Almost every day there is a comment from someone lamenting those who do not let this president "do his job." If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at Mr. Trump, he refuses to do any real work. He is the one that has broken rules and laws that have created a need for an investigation. Don't be mad at the people that criticize his shortcomings, they have that right.

It's been five days since Quickly has posted their hate the president comments. You don't think they ran out of hate, do you?

The Justice Department is siding with Ohio in a legal fight of their state's purging of infrequent voters from its election rolls. They think that if you don't vote in three elections you should be removed. People have the right to not vote in an election, that does not give the state the right to remove them.

Food for thought: If one is willing to betray their own country for money or power, they will turn on their co-conspirators in order to save themselves in a heartbeat.

President Trump promised to tackle the growing epidemic of opioid abuse in the United States after blaming his predecessor for not doing more to stem the surge of drug overdoses. But he offered no specific ideas for how he would do so. To recap, he was really, really bad. I will be really, really good. But I don't know what the heck that I am doing. Everyone good?

Sean Hannity is threatening to sue President Obama over illegal NSA spying. How could he have standing to sue unless he was harmed by unmasking? Another diversion to get the heat away from Russia?

Does anybody know who's picketing Regional Rental and why? They've been there for a while but they don't gave any contact info posted and there's nowhere to pull over to ask what's up. I also will never cross a picket line, so I can't go in and ask.

Fox News has so many problems with their staff. I think a bigger bombshell would be discovering a male Fox employee hasn't been a total creep to women.

President Trump's Department of Transportation just gave a $10 million grant to the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor to upgrade the facility. I wonder how many hypocrites will be there to accept the money and then go home to bash the very hand that feeds them. Will this sore loser syndrome ever end? The president is doing so many great things for our country.

Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico sent President Trump two Tweets. "Hey Trump, I'm watching this really bad reality TV show with low ratings called Survivor White House, I can't change the channel. Sad." "Leaving on vacation, huh? What for? If you're not happy with your job, just leave. After all, it was never for you."

On the Fox News website: "Would you even care if he was guilty?" It makes the argument that things are supposedly going so wonderfully in America under Trump, perhaps no one should care if Trump is guilty of conspiring with Russia to rig the election. This is the propaganda that Fox News feeds the brainwashed.

Trump said, "After 200 days, rarely has any administration achieved what we have achieved, not even close." Right, no administration has achieved this level of public contempt, unbridled stupidity or complete chaos this quickly.
