@POTUS delivers prepared remarks on the tragedy in Parkland, Florida. The High School Shooting caused the deaths of too many, another 17. Was it a monologue on what happened when we already know what's going on. How many times did he mention guns in his response? 17: The number of kids murdered in a school shooting yesterday

What do you think is the problem? Will you opine? And what if anything is #Trump going to really do about it?

Why does our national security appear to be in danger? How come are our nation's secrets are being shared with people who have not been vetted and issued a permanent security clearance? It is a national disgrace.

A security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information, whether it be state or organizational secrets or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough FBI background check.

Allegations or Facts?

Submitted by ub on

@POTUS tweets his concern that “lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation” Is this the same alligator, or crocodile who has been handing out a crock of pile his entire life by making outrageous, unsubstantiated claims about individuals or things, without showing any proof? http://politics.doseofnews.com/

Many would agree that his message should be constant - Domestic abuse is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A police report and a black eye cannot be considered allegations never ever. This I can tell you.

Working @Walmart

Why would Walmart hire a top DOJ official? The Justice Department’s third-ranking official, Rachel Brand has a job at Walmart adding trouble an agency with vacancies plus criticism from The White House?

Follow the signs and wonder what are they trying to prevent, or hide here? Four DOJ topper posts are vacant. Division heads at civil, criminal and national security, plus now #3 slot as leaves for Walmart? Thank you for shopping Walmart. https://youtu.be/g-XGv_BsAA0 https://youtu.be/CjSSj7-eyYk https://youtu.be/BV-F3lH3jO0

US Distress SOS

Submitted by ub on

Some are characterizing it as irresponsible, impractical, unpredictable, and reprehensible so stick em up America, you're about to be ripped off to the max.

Following a military budget the likes of which the Pentagon has never ever seen. $700 billion is a whole lot more in defense spending than China and Russia.

And after strapping US taxpayers with an outrageous tax cut for big business which so far is not trickling down, is the GOP now plotting to remove Social Security benefits?

SS IS NOT A GIFT We and our employers paid 12.4% or more of our paychecks ALL OUR WORKING LIVES.

Chaotic Confusion

Where does the buck really stop, folks? The Dow Jones industrials keep falling more than 1,150 points, making it the largest single-day point drop, erasing its gains for the year. What is @POTUS saying?

Is there one person, or any group responsible for creating chaos and confusion? @POTUS took credit when the market was up, so why is he not saying anything now? @realDonaldTrump regularly touts stock market gains. Why didn't he mention the sell-off at today's Ohio speech? Is he clueless?
