FBI Director James Comey should resign or be removed, and then serious housecleaning must begin. Regardless of your political leanings, Comey interfered with an election for personal political purposes — not to get Trump elected, but to save his own ass ahead of leaks that he could not prevent…
I started out liking Bernie Sanders, though I leaned slightly toward Hillary Clinton. Yet I’ve come to the point where I can barely stand his face, and I just want him to stop jabbing his finger as he brays the same slogans in every single venue, over and over. How did I get to this…
