When the disgruntled poor losers who caused the reflecting pool issue are caught, will you say they were justified in expressing their Democratic feelings with vandalism?
So you're saying we are going to finally catch Trump? Thank goodness.

Again, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. big White House, under construction. Doubles as a motocross park/fight club. Look for a comb-covered, thick ankled individual who speaks gibberish https://t.co/hSA6qGDZhu
When you were, say, 25 years old, what was the tax rate on wealthier families? What percent of workers were unionized? How well was income distributed?
And you think the problem is Democratic Socialism? That’s the symptom of more and more Americans feeling an economic squeeze and desperately trying to find politicians who genuinely care.
Trump does not care and his anti-Woke and anti-immigrant and anti-women policies aren’t part of any solution.
Many of you discount the 70+ million Americans who voted for DJT — their very existence is a fantasy uber liberals just hope will go away.
As a result, recognizing the void, the DNC is quickly being taken over by the National Democratic Socialist Party.
Don’t say I didn’t warn the working class who live in the suburbs and travel into NYC every day who will be underwriting all the free stuff Nyc’s mayor has promised to provide — for just their vote for national socialist Democrat party.
Never in our lives would anyone have believed that 9/11 could have happened! A handful of zealots could turn the WTC into rubble!
Today’s triumphant Social Democrats believe that if they could use enough ridicule against Trump — a giggle really — and, along with their anti-Trump focus, the Socialist Democrat movement stepped easily into the breach provided.
It surely doesn’t bode well for the tax-paying working class who will underwrite the socialist takeover.
when you have reached retirement age, after paying into the system for decades, and are then on the “receiving” end, will you ask yourself that question?
fyi, I am on the receiving end of Medicare. I'm not retired because unlike yourself, I missed the cutoff for full retirement at 65 and I need to wait to collect SS. Another screwing that people born after the midpoint of the Baby Boom have been subjected to.
Here's the thing, I don't look resentfully like you do at other Americans getting "free stuff" from public funding. At various points in my life I got "free stuff" like public school, college grants and loans. I received free tuition for grad school at Rutgers, paid for by the taxpayers in NJ. Let's not even get into every other "free benefit" we get, from highways, to parks, to assurances of clean water and safe food.
But after I was gainfully employed, my family and I paid taxes to NJ, Maplewood, NYC, NYS as well as the federal government. A lot of taxes in fact.
but that's how it's supposed to work. The healthy, employed people work and pay taxes. The young, the old, the sick, the disabled get "free stuff" to help them get a start in life, or a more comfortable end, or a dignified present.
Your disparagement of people who rely on what you contemptuously call "free stuff" is really small-minded and mean.
I'm convinced @mtierney that your disdain for Democrats is abstract. I doubt you would dislike most of us, if we were all out under the stars on July 4th singing the beautiful patriotic songs most of us enjoy.
I'm going to be filled with hope, inspired by President Obama's recent speech at the opening of his Presidential Center.
I'll be thankful for the freedom that I enjoy being born exactly at the right time in the right place, (NYC)
I'll renew a promise to be politically active, exercising my right, to work on the causes that I care deeply about.
I hope the same music fills your July 4th with love for your fellow Americans.
Your proposal: 100% tax on assets in excess of one billion dollars ("$1,000,000,000"). Sounds confiscatory. Should confiscation really be treated as a tax?
It’s not confiscation so much as it is an exchange, for in return each billionaire shall receive a poor person’s year-old child to stew, roast, bake or boil.
I make no doubt that the child will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragout.
Are you saying someone convinced Lord Corpulence l’Orange that detonating high explosives in the reflecting pool will kill the algae? And that he believed them?

This is not an animal control issue. It's a police issue.
The animal owner is breaking the law.
That being said, Maplewood PD refuses to enforce the leash law in Memorial Park.
