  • Now would be a great time for Congress to flex its war powers muscles granted to it in the Constitution.

  • Any logical person in public life would conclude that they had lost the country’s trust when most major news outlets decided to not broadcast their speech. This really isn’t all that hard to understand, folks.

  • This one really isn’t all that difficult to understand. The man has zero perspective.

  • I’m sure riding the Metro surrounded by modern day KKK members wasn’t terrifying at all. What a bunch of cosplaying clowns.

  • Is Trump seriously trying to start another Red Scare? Does he really think a majority of us are dumb enough to fall for this nonsense like the simple-minded of the 1950’s? These new talking points drip of desperation and laziness.

  • It is times like these that it is absolutely clear that Trump has no understanding of how our government works.

    I think we can all agree that it is comical to think that there is enough support in congress to propose and state legislatures to ratify a constitutional amendment to change the interpretation of plainly and clearly written text and over 100 years of legal precedent.

    Next, please.

    Trump calls on Congress to end birthright citizenship after Supreme Court loss

  • We all agree this feels really, really wrong and really, really illegal, right? Right???

  • Quite honestly, I’d like to hear from someone more credible than the president.

  • And this, my friends, is why Missouri and American politics are in the state they are right now. Ms. Lueck’s instinct to bring religion into a conversation about No Kings is, of course, ridiculous and ill informed, but it is also not isolated to her.

    To the editor:

    Once again, there were those that proclaimed that they have no king.

    Well, I would like to share my king with all of you. His promise is sure. His goodness is limitless. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His mercy is everlasting. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He guards and he guides. He heals the sick. He forgives the sinner, and he does so much more. He is the king of kings. His name is Jesus.

    A political system rooted in religion is bound to ultimately fail as history has shown us time and time again. And let’s be honest with ourselves. A government based on the many Christian religions is no better and no more righteous than a government based on Judaism or Islam. They just use different words and use different rules to control people.

    It is well past time that we make our American government religion-agnostic like it was intended. No more “In god we trust” on our money and in our government buildings. No more “under god” in our Pledge. No more “god bless America” at the end of every speech. It is time to recognize how irrelevant and, in some cases, offensive these words are to a large portion of our citizens. We can do and be better.

  • I think it is certainly fair to question the president and Tom Homan about a potential deployment of ICE agents at our nation’s airports. Clearly, there is a reason most of the country does not trust the agency.

    Before any of them walk into an airport on duty, we should know exactly what they will be doing in their official capacity, we should have the more than fair expectation that not one of them will be hiding behind a mask, and every agent should know the exact procedure to hand off tasks and actions to appropriately trained TSA and CBP officers who are actually trained to be working at our ports of entry and dealing with travelers and the stresses that come in those scenarios.
