Trump ‘deplorables’ have a few questions

Charles Krauthammer is an intellectual whose insightful logical opinions I have admired. Therefore, it was disappointing to read his appeal to emotional arguments in his Sunday commentary, “Bungled collusion is still collusion.” It was particularly disingenuous to claim Donald Trump “apologists” are saying Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with the “Russian lawyer” doesn’t matter because everybody does it.

I refuse to be defined by the opposition. What we want to know is why it wasn’t collusion when various Democrats did essentially the same thing and with a greater degree of success.

We find the quagmire of ever-changing standards to be impossible to navigate.

Russia can’t be as bad as the pundits are making it out to be: American and Russian cosmonauts work together in the International Space Station. Are they colluding or conspiring? Of course not. Cooperating and collaborating, surely. Because we do not have a working shuttle, the U.S. government has been paying about $80,000 each to the Russian government to put our scientists into space.

This seems to be a sensible arrangement … but then, I am one of the adorable deplorables.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Biden confused over inflation.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Still after the Jan. 6 protesters

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
