If I may adapt a recent letter (“Biden the worst president ever,” January 5): It’s obvious that the writer has been drinking the Republican Kool-Aid.
Editor,

Republicans, if left unchecked, could run this country into the ground with their prioritization of power and fealty (to a certain past president) over democracy. Under President Biden, we’ve seen significant bipartisan achievements regarding climate change, infrastructure, domestic manufacturing and progress on COVID. We have defended Ukraine and resisted the power and influence of China. Representative Pelosi’s positive achievements are too numerous to mention, but include promoting the Affordable Care Act, critical to the health care of millions of Americans, and shepherding it through Congress. Democrats’ spending may sometimes be painful for taxpayers, but much of it is necessary to support countless Americans in need of assistance.
As for “witch hunts,” the time, effort and money spent are worthwhile when one is actually seeking to hunt a (figurative) witch. And if you believe Trump was NOT responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, then you need to stop being delusional. Trump was the worst president ever, a man who is narcissistic and deluded to the point of mental illness and cares much more about his weakening grasp on power than about the Constitution or the democratic principles of this country.

I'm really enjoying this, especially the comical retorts from brainwashed Trump supporters. Thanks everyone! Let me get some popcorn.
I’m also really enjoying this, especially the willful ignorance of rabid TDS-infected folks to acknowledge Trump’s tweets on Jan. 6 to “remain peaceful” and “Stay peaceful.” It's just too easy to debunk these rabid lefties. In addition to your popcorn, Mr. Wright, you may want to pull out a box of tissues. What you see as a comedy is also a tragedy. If you and your fellow TDS-sufferers are not able to acknowledge and accept the truth, you’re part of the problem, not part of the solution. And that’s a crying shame.
Terence,
Still can't find that mirror?
Taffy, my friend, I hadn’t heard you were willing to sell or give up any of your mirrors…
Brian - thanks for acknowledging that we have brains, however washed. I can't say the same for some of the hair brained responses to your LTE, including yours.
Letters like yours and Jorg's give me hope that there are still some rational and grounded people willing to expose the tremendous damage that Trump and his cult of enablers have wrought on the country and democracy. The hypocrisy and whataboutism of supporters of the conman and his cronies is stunning, and depressing. We must all keep calling it out.
Trump has consistently been ranked among the bottom five worst presidents by presidential scholars. He is certainly the most polarizing president of our times. see: https://people.howstuffworks.com/worst-president-ever.htm
But one only has to look at the evidence. Only president to be impeached twice. Only president is modern times to not release his tax returns, or cede his election loss to his successor. Only president to lie over 30K times in office and only one to lead an attack on our Capitol. Probably leads all presidents in being sued too. The wheels of justice grind exceedingly slow and they will grind onto him in due time.
And don’t forget, the only WH resident calling himself a stable genius, bragging publicly about being able to remember 5 simple little words, and that his psychiatrists evaluating him were so incredibly impressed by his performance! Then again, what can we expect from a proud, self-declared p-grabber?
Yawn… here we go again with Rel and his regurgitated fake news “attack” on the Capitol by Trump. At least Rel has educated himself to no longer refer to the attack as an insurrection. Hey Rel, I’ve already asked you to take a gander over to our great President Trump’s tweets on January 6 to see that he tweeted to “remain peaceful” or “Stay peaceful!” to his 80+ million followers, debunking your so-called “attack” narrative. Why so afraid to look, or perhaps you’ve seen the tweets but willful ignorance prevents you from acknowledging the truth? For the person responsible for the attack on our Capitol, look no further than Nancy Pelosi, who refused to secure the Capitol with the National Guard authorized by our, yes our, great President Trump. Looking forward to Biden's impeachment(s) and investigations into the Biden crime family...
Rel - can you identify the rankers? Who are they and what criteria are used to make such judgments? If 'feel good' and 'equity' are part of equation, I think that Trump would not score. In my opinion, perhaps inadvertently, Obama was likely the first polarizing president. Trump did his part but Biden has stepped it up even further. I wonder where Obama and Biden will end up in their ranking?
Rel: At times I find myself wondering if some of the most R-infested among us are too stupid to understand even the most obvious, like what a disaster Trump was for the country, or if they are too dishonest to admit what should be abundantly obvious to everyone?
This is too funny! Jorg intimates R’s are too stupid, yet Jorg doesn’t understand the meaning of “peaceful” nor “respectable” or “agreeable.” “Insurrection” and “assault weapon” are also out of Jorg’s reach. If R’s are too stupid, it appears Jorg, at minimum, is at least one level below (likely lower). I’ll let our dear readers decide. Remember, Jorg’s only valid points are exclamation points.
As usual, Brian Wright is decidedly wrong. It appears Mr. Wright hasn’t been only drinking the Democrat Kool-Aid, but swimming in it. As we can see from letters and comments we’ve received this year, Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well, along with obeisance to the Democrat playbook. Sadly, all of Mr. Wright’s, and others who have swallowed the Kool-Aid, so-called Biden accomplishments are easily debunked. As are all of Mr. Wright’s bellyaching about our great President Trump. Hey Brian, take a gander over to our great President Trump’s tweets on January 6 and you’ll notice that he tweeted to “remain peaceful” or “Stay peaceful!” to his 80+ million followers, debunking your attack on the Capitol. At least you’ve educated yourself to no longer referring to the attack as an insurrection (although you may receive a demerit from Democrats). It’s a new year, Mr. Wright, please stop being delusional and willfully ignoring the facts. And tell your friends.
TY: Oh, you poor boy! Don’t you understand that people are laughing at you? You keep repeating the same silly nonsense over and over again, with no regard for facts, logic or common sense. I’ve tried to tell you, but you just don’t get it: you are laughable, and not funny anymore!
Jorg: Oh, you poor boy! Don’t you understand people are laughing at you? You keep repeating the same silly nonsense over and over, with no regard for facts, logic, or common sense. I’ve tried to tell you, but you just don’t get it: you are more than laughable and have no credibility! BTW, we can see you still don’t understand the meaning of “peaceful.” If you’re hard up for cash to buy a dictionary, I still have a few Biden bucks available. And thanks for the exclamation point, your only valid point.
TY: Oh WHAT a “surprise”! You walked right into that one, didn’t you?! Indeed, I get lots of laughs, intentionally prompted by myself. With the exception of more serious talks I have made in various countries, I usually insert lines that make my audience laugh, - not an uncommon trick, though.
Jorg, you’re boring me with your tedious JUNC (Jorg’s Usual Nonsense Chatter) entries. Let me know when you stop boogieing to ““You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” and you begin trying to make worthwhile comments. Thanks in advance.
