Comments on: Political Fix (5 July, 2018) https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2018/07/05/political-fix-5-june-2018/ In-depth, locally-produced coverage of the Central Valley. Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:43:55 -0700 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Saul Travers https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2018/07/05/political-fix-5-june-2018/#comment-14158 Saul Travers Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:21:44 +0000 https://bak.ourvalleyvoice.com/?p=25411#comment-14158 Today, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced indictments of 12 Russian intelligence agents on charges that they broke into DNC servers and stole documents which they then gave to Trump;s political operatives. But Devin Nunes in his role as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee couldn't find a thing. Why is Nunes so blind? One clue from the indictments: “On or about August 15, 2016, the conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the U.S. Congress,” the indictment states. “The conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate’s opponent.” The indictment does not identify the candidate. Sounds like Devin likes Russian criminals more than he likes America.

Trump was clearly the lesser of two evils. Anyone who has lived in New York can tell you that Trump is just a typival New York City personality.

I didn't vote for him, but I probably will in 2020. And it's not for the reasons you are complaining about in this article. For starters, you mis-represent your "facts". If anything drastic happens to the "right" a woman has to terminate the child she conceived (and spare me the argument about rape-pregnancies. Those numbers are so small compared to how many women use abortion as a form of birth control), it will just be deemed illegal on the federal front and states will be able to chose (basically how it is today anyway). Not much will change here in California. I support a woman's right to choose to not get pregnant in the first place. Beyond that, she loses the right to choose death for the human inside her. This topic alone is enough for me to vote Republican. And as far as what you call "Trump's zero tolerance policy", this was already a law under Obama. He's just enforcing it more strictly to keep out some of the bad people using the system of bringing in children as a shield for more nefarious purposes. If it impacts regular people trying to come into the Country (still illegally by the way), then perhaps this will cause them to try to enter the Country legally. By coming here illegally, they made the choice to keep moving in without their children, instead of turning back and attempting a legal route of entry. Children were always detained to some degree, even before Trump. Where was your concern then? I agree changes need to be made to our immigration system and I wish our government would make those changes now. Until then, I am grateful that someone is protecting our borders and enforcing the existing laws. And finally, you are delusional if you think that if everyone voted that it would swing in the direction that you want it to. I've generally considered myself to be Independent, but voting mostly Republican, but after seeing how the left-wing Democrats respond to everything with resistance, vileness, disingenuous reporting of "facts", and with an overall message of victimhood and lack of personal responsibility, I find myself leaning more to the right than ever. No, not because I am swayed by Trump's rhetoric or because I'm racist or whatever it is that you think Republicans are. It is because I have common sense. I don't listen to the noise out there and I don't listen to what Trump says with his words. I only look at his actions. And so far, I like what he's done. Other than immigration, show me the "horrible" things he's actually done (not in his personal life, but to the Country). If you really looked at the facts and what was actually happening you'd be pleased. Just close your eyes and imagine all this stuff was being done by Obama. The press would be praising him with all their might! Trump is a blow-hard, but at least he gets stuff done. Sure, Obama was a gentleman, but look where all of his kindness and submissiveness got us. He talked the talk, but he did nothing of note in his 8 years except raise my healthy family's insurance premiums to $1,300/month for a bare-bones policy and we don't even use the doctor. He maintained the status-quo and passed the buck along. I wish people would take a deep breath, get over the "shock" of Hillary's loss, and show some national pride and gratitude for the wonderful Country we live in. It's too bad that national pride and gratitude are now shameful words in the eyes of Democrats.
