A second Trump presidency ought to scare us all
Bronx: Donald Trump desires not solely to rule the nation however your life. Talk about Big Brother. Look who he’s assembly with pre-election. He stated he desires to be a dictator, and he’s studying from two. He already kisses as much as Vladimir Putin, and now he has met with the dictator of Hungary, who he invited to his home.
Trump is vulgar. Just hearken to his speeches. He needed to be bleeped. I don’t say that nobody makes use of that form of language, however it isn’t utilized in public talking. It simply exhibits how low-class Trump actually is. All his gold furnishings can’t cowl up his lack of grace and manners. It exhibits his disrespect for you and everybody he addresses. He talks right down to you and at you, to not you.
He proves this by making enjoyable of individuals with disabilities and never eager to be seen with disabled veterans as a result of they don’t make him look good, and since they’re “losers.” My household has fought in America’s wars and a few misplaced their lives to maintain our proper to control ourselves. Trump will deliver the top of free elections and the best to self-determination. It wouldn’t shock me if he tried to alter the identify of our nation to some type of “Trump Nation” and our flag to gold along with his face on it.
A vote for Trump is a vote in opposition to democracy and in opposition to your self and your progeny. Anna Maria McCorry
What plan?
Bayonne: To Voicer Jonathan Solomon, who stated that if Trump wins the election, he has a plan to reshape the federal authorities: If nobody is speaking about it as a result of they by no means heard of it, the place did you discover out about it? Do you may have inside sources? Trump and his cronies will ceaselessly change America as we all know it — isn’t that what Barack Obama and President Biden each stated? They have been going to remodel America as we all know it. And they’re doing simply as they stated. Mike Armstrong
Judicial mandate
Brick, N.J.: Trump claims immunity and impunity for any and all crimes he might have dedicated as president. His adoring followers agree with him. Whether or not the Supreme Court chooses to take up this query relies upon largely on the extent of partisan toxicity among the many justices! Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution establishes a presidency with govt energy. Section 4 states: “the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” If the Founding Fathers offered such a mechanism whereby the president might be impeached, convicted and eliminated, how can a president or president-to-be probably declare presidential immunity?

Fractious rhetoric
Bronx: In final Thursday’s State of the Union tackle, President Biden glad his most ardent supporters. He additionally revealed what an offended, reckless and at occasions embittered old man is able to. Biden was divisive, dithering and cantankerous. And the response from the one aspect of the assembled was equally unceremonious, with boos, catcalls and confrontations. He spoke half-truths and was vindictive and crude. His chastising assaults on former President Trump, his “predecessor,” have been petty and disingenuous. When pressed to say the identify of Laken Riley, Biden stated “Lincoln Riley.” His total efficiency was beneath the workplace of president. He did us all a disservice. It was a partisan marketing campaign speech. In the top, I search for the optimistic in a person, so I applaud the president. He stayed awake, spoke for about 68 minutes and was capable of finding his manner off the stage. Bob Pascarella
Singled-out Black lady
Manhattan: To Voicer Thomas Fraumeni Jr., who acknowledged disrespectfully that Vice President Kamala Harris (whereas not addressing her title, so you realize what was coming) was doing an “impersonation of a seal” for clapping throughout the State of the Union: You appear to have seen that however purposely missed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaking House guidelines by sporting MAGA attire. You conveniently but cowardly displayed your racism with selective outrage because you missed her screaming out feedback throughout the president’s speech, just like Rep. Joe Wilson throughout President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech. You sit at home and let “fixed news” make you are feeling empowered by your bored humor. Cowards cower, Thomas. Do higher at hiding your concern and racist methods. Edward Scott
Creeping curriculum
Bronx: Voicer W. Twirley inadvertently factors out one of many largest issues that vital race idea purveyors have: saying it’s solely taught in school, which is a blatant lie. Parents everywhere in the nation are protesting its inclusion of their youngsters’s grade faculties. One cause former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe misplaced to Glenn Youngkin was as a result of McAuliffe lied and stated CRT wasn’t being taught to grade-school children there — however CRT was listed on these faculties’ web sites. Meanwhile, tutorial requirements are dwindling. In truth, this Voicer might be a sufferer of our failing faculties, since Twirley has to resort to cursing as an alternative of making an attempt to make the purpose intelligently.

Race to the grave
Fort Erie, Ontario: Re “Two dogs die during Iditarod, prompting renewed call for cancellation” (March 11): Why would anybody with a conscience assist an occasion during which dogs routinely endure and die? The Iditarod has cost the lives of not less than 150 dogs, together with two simply this week. This sick and lethal spectacle should come to an finish, now and ceaselessly. Philip Tripp
Wow
Manhattan: Is Voicer Nick Smith insane? Hamas “treats Israel like adults”? Really? Is this the identical Hamas whose constitution actually cites their objective of exterminating Israel? I imply, wow. Further phrases fail me in the intervening time. Michael Udolf
Let’s hear ’em
Hauppauge, L.I.: Thank you for highlighting the town’s outreach applications for the homeless (“Why it’s mission: nearly impossible,” March 10). The employees in vibrant orange jackets who have interaction the homeless are the actual heroes right here. I hope the Daily News will interview a few of these employees in a future article. In a time of horrible information all over the place you look, this was a welcome oasis. Thank you, Daily News! Greg Arnold
Russia, stand up
Rockville Centre, L.I.: In World War II, 60 million died and the inhabitants of Europe lived with the scars. Leaders of sure nations implored the individuals to struggle to the top with no give up. Although those that survived would decide up the items, the tyrants knew that their futures as ruthless despots have been imperiled. Although Adolf Hitler met his highway to perdition, Joseph Stalin survived and prolonged his despotism. And 79 years later, with one other oppressor on the helm of his nation, we are able to thank the associated industries for enhancing the expertise for enriched weaponry that may kill that quantity in days as an alternative of years. With the orchestrated assassination of Alexei Navalny whereas in captivity, the challenges have been by no means extra crucial for the individuals of Russia to surmount the iron curtain that has expunged democracy and usurped their civil liberties underneath the guise of inner and exterior threats. Jason Randazzo
Perilous platform
Manchester, N.J.: Be on the alert for this era’s Pied Piper, aka TikTook. The drawback is its lure is much more highly effective its second time round, and has the identical impact on an ideal majority of adults. Edward Sere
Recalculate
Hillsdale, N.J.: I agree with Voicer Marc D. Greenwood’s evaluation of “Pistol” Pete Maravich versus Caitlin Clark’s actually nice achievement. However, Marc uncared for to level out that Maravich averaged 44.2 factors per recreation when there was no three-point shot used throughout his profession in school or within the NBA. I watched “Pistol” Pete in motion on TV and I really feel sure that not less than 25% of his scoring would have been three-pointers. His 44.2 points-per-game common would have been nearer to greater than 50 factors per recreation and would have added not less than 1,000 factors to his school whole. No school basketball participant, male or feminine, will ever outscore Pete’s common factors per recreation or general whole if 25% of his pictures are included as three-pointers. George A. Kritzler
