Regular readers of this column know where I’ll be putting my X on Nov. 3. Four years ago, however, I wasn’t thrilled about voting for Donald Trump. His personality was repulsive. His gratuitous insults were off-putting. It didn’t bother me, however, that he called his final opponent “Crooked Hillary, “ because she was crooked. During one of their debates, Hillary said it was a good thing we didn’t have Donald Trump in charge of the law in our country.
 “Because you’d be in jail, “ said Trump. His timing was exquisite and I was thinking, “Who is this guy? “ I could have kissed him.
This is profoundly misleading. I suggest McLaughlin read and then reread both the second part of the Mueller report and Pope Francis's recently issued encyclical entitled Fratelli Tutti (All Brothers), taken from the "admonitions" of St. Francis of Assisi. Relevant to someone who holds your views and platform, the Pope writes, "Things that until a few years ago could not be said by anyone without risking the loss of universal respect can now be said without impunity, and in the crudest of terms, even by some political figures. Nor should we forget that "there are huge economic interests operating in the digital world, capable of exercising forms of control as subtle as they are invasive, creating mechanism for manipulation of consciences and of the democratic process. The way many platforms work often ends up favoring encounter between persons who think alike, shielding them from debate. These close circuits facilitate the spread of fake new and false information, fomenting prejudice and hate."
Economic and foreign policy failures? Peace with Israel and UAE? Sudan? ISIS largely defeated while huge under Obama. Ecomony, even during the shutdown, grew 33% in the last quarter. Randel, what ever you're smoking, put it down now.
The economy grew based on a stimulus package that Congress passed. Trump just added his grandiose signature. The deficit, which Republicans hounded Obama over, ticked up to 3 trillion for this year alone and not a peep out of Republicans or Fox. Trump refuses to release his tax returns, has a Chinese bank account (imagine if Obama had one), has fired anyone who doesn't agree with him, called the Covid Virus a democratic hoax, had his charity closed because of misuse of funds, has numerous lawsuits against him for sexual assault, and is a person who you would never let your own daughter date. i don't smoke but I do read and not watch Fox propaganda.
Both sides stink, they don't work for us. But the fake religions hypocrite republicans are the worst. I doubt Biden will win, but it would be the lesser of two evils for this country. Unfortunately, that is how we have to vote.
You have a very twisted view of history, the state of our nation which is in tatters because of Trump, and the cause of our social ills. You of course did not mention his economic and foreign policy failures along with his constant attempts to bypass our constitution. Facts are stubborn things as Benjamin Franklin said but easy to ignore by those who care not for them. You are on the wrong side of history just as those who stood by Nixon were.
