Editor,
Let’s look at some of the worst blunders Republicans have made:
Dwight Eisenhower ruined the hitherto unifying Pledge of Allegiance by adding the splitting “In God we Trust.” Richard Nixon delayed peace talks in Vietnam hoping to benefit his reelection.
George H. W. Bush declared that nonbelievers (i.e. irreligious, rational people) shouldn’t even be accepted as citizens. George W. Bush started unnecessary, unwinnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, just because an imaginary voice from a fictional character inside his head told him to.
George W. Bush also stopped stem cell research, because he thought it was against God’s will!
Mitch McConnell & Co. got together and decided that newly elected President Barak Obama should be fought against and prevented from doing anything, no matter how much they may have been for it before, despite Obama being elected by a landslide, both with the Electoral College and primary votes. Republicans repeatedly tried to eliminate Obama’s Affordable Care Act, just because a Black Democratic president had initiated it and regardless how necessary and useful.
Trump stole highly classified documents while he was President and even shared them with outsiders. Trump let Elon Musk have unrestricted access to anything and everything within government. Republicans allowed Trump to have unrestricted, unsupervised and unrecorded private conversations with Vladimir Putin. Republicans repeatedly tried to eliminate democratic social welfare initiatives from the 1930s, like Social Security and Medicare. And now, Trump even talks about withdrawing from NATO, which has kept all member countries safe for over 75 years!

Good to see Jorg is alive.
LittleFoot I think you might be jumping the gun, AI is alive and well.
The very best thing I can offer in Trump’s defense, is that he doesn’t have the foggiest idea of what he is doing. The worst thing I can say against him, is that he does!
Jorg, do you talk to yourself on street corners as well?
Oh, what a wise crack from your pot, NotSo!
I am wise, thank you. Now to take things a step further, since you are generally the first to reply to your own LTE's, do you send emails and text messages to yourself? I think I am gaining some clarity, in the beginning Jorg was thrown out with the bath water.
He does nothing without Vlad's approval. Sad that the once proud Republican Party has become a tool of Russian propaganda. And the sheeple follow. Notice how there are crickets about a "stolen election" this time? We will now wait for the usual screaming... yawn.
SMpool, you must be a fiction writer, other than sticking to the left's talking points, what other fictional books have you written?
Speaking of yawn… we have the usual hysterical screaming from SMpool with yet another throwaway comment. C’mon SMpool, you can be more than a follower/cheerleader for Jorg, can’t you?
More nonsense from the leader of the Jorgidian Cult. Has anyone noticed none of his followers are standing behind Jorge, maybe the spell is wearing off? Just a pointless, hateful, moronic LTE. I was hoping Jorge wouldn't see his shadow this year and we would all be free of his stupid LTE's and comments.
I never expected you, NotSo, to understand a word of what I wrote!
Even as pointless as your LTE is, I understand your need to find something negative to write about, even it means drumming up the past because Trump has you flummoxed. The fact that your little row boat of disdain is drowning in a RED Sea of glee, astounding success and happiness must be infuriating for Debbie Downer Jorge Aadahl.
Jorg's letter has a lot of merit. Trump's actions to fire thousands of IRS agents, at the peak of tax season no less, is a prime example of his blunders. IRS agents return the government $12 for each $1 paid to an agent, hence the government stands to lose billions of dollars to utter stupidity.
Here we go again... Rel-ly? Your allegation regarding IRS agents returning $12 for each $1 spent is an outright lie. It may have been true at one time but now, at best, it’s a misinformed lie, and at worst, it’s a shameless lie. Considering you still try to blame Trump for a so-called insurrection knowing that it’s been debunked, how can we take you seriously? The truth is that it currently costs more than $1 to gain $1 in revenue. Utter stupidity due to treasonous Biden. I’ll do a bit of homework for you this time (https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2025/02/13/four-key-moments-hearing-on-the-lack-of-return-on-investment-from-irs-funding-and-the-need-for-agency-modernization/).
I hope you now toss (although I’m afraid you won’t) your IRS revenue allegation along with your debunked “insurrection” into the trash bin. Please stop watching “The View” or anything from MSNBC (although a few shows have been recently canceled) and stop reading the mainstream media. Especially the AP since they aren’t able to go into the Oval Office or Air Force 1 so they may resort to making up news, even more so. Have a Trump-tastic day! BTW, I hear some IRS agents were routed to help with border enforcement. Perhaps they’ll be able to use firearms that taxpayers “gifted” to them.
Aren't you happy, TY! What on flat Earth would you do if you didn't have some LTE's to get hung up on, - whether you understand the background, or more likely, not. You should thank us for putting some substance into your sorry little life!
REL and Jorge still use their Rolodex when writing opinions, like the "Wheel of Fortune" they spin their rolodex and copy and past the answer provided. What? Jorge still uses his "magic 8 ball" for answers? Worshiping their rolodex' and magic 8 balls provides them with what they feel are coherent answers and they feel and act smart. And since they have shown their worth to the party of nil, Rel and Jorg have been handed the "Beavis and Butt-head" reigns from Kamala and Walz. But one must remember a great man's proverb, "you can't fix stupid." .
Great observations, Not So Common. If Rel and Jorg didn’t have copy/paste, they wouldn’t have anything to write. Either they get on board with the Democrat playbook or they’re thrown off the train. Independent thought is not allowed, or maybe because they’re infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, they’re incapable of independent thought. Fortunately for us, they have no credibility, only hysterical shrieking based on fake news and lies. BTW, how often do you think Dems need to replace Rel’s or Jorg’s puppet strings?
That's no so bad compared the Democrat's record ending recently with a demented Biden the worst managed election in history.
With enough dumb Republicans, we get someone dumb like Trump! Or Bush!
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Aadahl. Your Dem talking points are noted and immediately dismissed because the so-called “blunders” you list pale in comparison, bigly, to the stain known as treasonous Biden and Biden’s America Last policies. Fortunately, America has woken from the Biden-Harris nightmare and we’re on our way to Making America Great/Healthy Again. Have a Trump-tastic weekend!
And thank YOU for reminding us of the bottomless stupidity of Trump and his following sheep. The kindest we can say about that group of lost souls, is that they have no understanding of what their cult leader Trump is up to. The worst we can say is that they do!
Jorg, speaking of bottomless stupidity, how are YOU doing? Are you eating well, sleeping well, and getting enough physical exercise? More importantly, have you challenged your mind to understand the 2A or EC, yet? Inquiring minds want to know. Have a blessed day.
Terrence, Jorg is now talking to himself and trying to figure out "how he is doing." Don't hold your breath, it could be awhile.
