God gives every bird its food,
but he does not throw it into the nest.

Tweet of the Day
Puerto Rico voted 97% in favor of US statehood (in a boycotted election)? In a real democracy, you can't get 97% in favor of bathroom break.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Puerto Rico is looking to the US for a bailout from its bad Statist policies. The US is $20T in debt; the last thing it needs is a moocher.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Well, the Founders thought they had created a small central government with enumerated powers. And then some magic happened.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
The People's Republic of California Senate has voted in favor of single-payer healthcare without funding it. Pythons who eat gators can die.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Trump's thin-skinned nature may lead to his impeachment. The Russian kerfuffle was going nowhere, but Trump is unwittingly feeding the fire.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
How stupid is Trump? Trump sides with Saudi Arabia in its dispute with Qatar. Qatar hosts the US' largest military base in the Middle East.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Trump: "Believe me"? Hell, no. He's playing right into Comey's hands. Trump had the option of keeping his mouth shut after Comey's firing.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Every lawyer tells his client on defense of keeping his mouth shut.The other side has the burden of proof. You would think Trump sued enough— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Trump doesn't seem satisfied with winning. He wants to annihilate his perceived enemies, largely for validation in the eyes of others.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Scapegoating and targeting innocent refugees is unconscionable and un-American at its core. Trump is shameless, a demagogue at its worst.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Guess what? Just because you're a Supreme Court justice doesn't mean you've lost your rights to self-expression. Trump is unconstitutional.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
No, the Trump ban is neither legal nor constitutional. The Constitution does not allow the President or Congress to discriminate.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
What is particularly disingenuous about Trumpkins on the Comey kerfuffle is the fact the same people whined when Bill Clinton met AG Lynch.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Tell me, Trumpkins, what motivation did Trump have to seek out Comey? Comey did not seek out Trump. Why did Trump threaten Comey with tapes?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Why did Trump specifically say in his termination letter that Comey had cleared him in the Russian kerfuffle? Why was he threatening Comey?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
We've seen the hypocritical Asshole-in-Chief Trump demand "respect", although he himself doesn't respect other people, like Judge Curiel.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Trump refuses to accept responsibility for his own actions. He's the guy who hired Michael Flynn, ignoring Obama's termination of Flynn.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Trump had no right to pressure Comey over an ongoing investigation; it was unethical and an abuse of power. Trump shot himself in firing.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
The very fact Trump defended himself in the termination letter opened the door to Comey's credible account of Trump's abuse of process.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 12, 2017
Heaven help us. Trump is using losers of Celebrity Apprentice, like Dennis Rodman, in diplomacy to North Korea. Who's next: Gary Busey?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
No, Clinton was not impeached because of his affair but in lying under oath in front of a judge over a pattern of sexual harassment.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
There is no evidence that Trump's expression of frustration over the Flynn investigation obstructing justice. The investigation is open.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
The latest rumor is that Trump is seriously considering firing Mueller as special counsel. If he does that, I go on the impeachment wagon.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
If Trump decides to fire Mueller, Deputy AG Rosenstein should immediately resign in protest. It's like Trump has a death wish.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
If Trump fires Mueller, he not only loses his best hope of vindication, but it's highly likely the Congress appoints Mueller. Check mate!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
So with employment up & a decent economy,what does Trump's approval look like? 36% according to Gallup.Even ObamaCare has a higher approval— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 13, 2017
