Opinion Line Extra (May 9)

The FBI has charged 48 members of the Gangster Disciples with murder and conspiracy. They sustained themselves by robbery, extortion and fraud. They actually sound a lot like a political party.

Now that the Donald has inexplicably smothered the Republican filed, at least the senators among the losers can get back to earning that $174,000 they’re paid to do their jobs – like governing and not pursuing the presidency.

The Republican establishment has tried to harness the anger of disaffected voters to support its false ideology of conservatism, which is nothing more than an excuse to reward the rich at the expense of everyone else. The rise of Donald Trump shows that these angry voters can no longer be trusted.

A Trump groupie told me the Donald reminds him of Reagan. A cartoon portrayed then-President Reagan heading up a safari line crashing through dense jungle. Someone asked, “Does he know where he is going?” Another replied, “Doesn’t look like it, but I like the way he leads.” Be careful of what you vote for.

Donald Trump has asked Ben Carson to help vet candidates for his running mate. The first qualifying question for a nominee should be, does he or she believe Joseph built the Great Pyramids for grain storage?

Trump supporters are consummate “low information voters.” Trump does the very things he rails against. Trump imports clothing from China, he uses H-1B visas to import foreign workers into the U.S., and he’s funded Hillary’s campaigns.

Democrats don’t consider Donald Trump to be any more destructive to America than any of his Republican opponents. He is the least likely among them to win in November, but if he somehow prevailed it’s highly possible his policies would prove to be the least draconian of the bunch.

Next week’s issue of the “National Liar” (National Enquirer) will probably have a picture of Trump’s father giving money to a space alien for a casino on Mars.

Thanks to my neighbor’s weed-infested and junk-littered yard, abandoned vehicles in the driveway, broken mailbox, and laundry-covered porch, I want my neighborhood to be designated an official “blight” area.

Hey, I’m a homeowner, and I don’t like to mow my lawn. But I do it, at least once a week.

Hopefully as an example to all and before he hurts or kills someone, James Corden will be stopped and ticketed for distracted driving while performing his Carpool Karaoke.
