The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, March 8

Congrats to the Pottstown School District for a fantastic show of “Beauty and the Beast.” Thanks to Robert Decker Jr. and Christopher Sperat, Director, for a great job! Also, the fantastic cast. “Break a Leg!”

Jean Sweeney – (Class of 56)

Joe Biden went to the border to try to sell voters on the border deal. He made a big point of saying it would add 1,500 border agents. There are 168 hours in a week and a border agent only works about 40 of them. It would take 4 agents to have 1 new agent on duty at all times. To cover all shifts would leave less than 400 agents on duty at any one time.

Logical Bob

The Supreme Court just ruled 9-0 that the Democrats cannot just do whatever it is they want. I guess that sucks for Lefty, Jay Miller, KC, and The Moderate.

Hank

Should Joe Biden take a cognitive test? “People that have nothing to hide, hide nothing” – Dr. Phil. To our illustrious affirmative action White House Press Secretary: Stop peeing down our legs and telling us it’s raining …

Greg Levengood

Another laugher from Hunter Biden’s congressional testimony: He threw away the diamond they gave him essentially because he thought it was a stone.

Billy G.

For 248 years, the Supreme Court, just one of three co-equal branches of government, told the other two and the American citizens what they may and may not do. “You have a Constitutional right, as of today. Oops, that was yesterday. Sorry, not anymore.” It’s time for the other two branches and the American public to tell the Supreme Court what it may and may not do. BTW, the Electoral College? An anachronism. Dump it.

How many times does Don the Con need to fumble his words and lie at a rally before Minninger, Furlong, Stern, Patriot45, Dot and the rest of the radical Republican, head-stuck-in-the-sand losers admit he is totally mentally deficient? It’s not his age, it’s his incompetency.

Patriot54

For a moment I couldn’t remember the word for cheese, but it’s just a curd to me.

Bill Wilson

Patriot54, bless your heart! You contend that I have a “difficult time with comprehension,” and that I “Cite false voting irregularities.” And comparing IQs, lol, you don’t stand a chance! Please inform us of what voting irregularities I must have been referring to! When Brandon gets his cognitive test I would advise that you get one too!

Just the facts!

The enemies of our Representative Republic lost in the Supreme Court by 9-0. The Democrat Party hates when people decide by voting who can be president, so in about 30 states Democrats had actions in progress to remove Trump from the ballot. But today, our democratic republic wins. This is why many say: The Democrat Party hates America.

“Dutch”

In 2019 the SCOTUS ruled that Tyson Timbs was unduly punished for having drug paraphernalia in his Land Rover. The state confiscated his Rover for having about $1000 of paraphernalia in his Rover. It was a 9-0 decision. NY Attorney General Leticia James is gloating over her “Get Trump” win in a victimless fraud case. Trump will prevail in the appeal because the $454 million penalty is absurd and a violation of the 8th Amendment.

Michael Stern

Ole Turtle Face Mitch McConnell is finally giving up the leadership position, after falling asleep at several press conferences over the past year. In spite of the massive damage that this hypocrite did to democracy, he was one of the few lawmakers who stood up to the Con. Sometimes. And now he will likely be replaced by someone who hates democracy even more than he does.

RealAmerica

Caitlyn Clark has scored more points than Pete Maravich. She is one heck of a woman basketball player. However, to say she broke Pete Maravich’s record is like saying a minor league baseball player sets the home run record of the major leagues.

Dennis A. Biggs

The Supreme Court decision is in and as much as Democrats want to disqualify Trump on a ballot, it was unanimous it is unconstitutional to take him off state ballots.

Dot

Dear Mr. Biden, ‘We the People’ will not go silently into the night as you force us to live with open borders, farcical green energy policies, and racist diversity/equity/inclusion nonsense. I’m voting for Truth, Justice and the American Way. I’m Voting for Donald Trump just like millions of other former Democrat voters. Trump is winning over the hearts and souls of intelligent patriotic Americans in record numbers.

Kingsley

Jay Miller obviously has never applied for a mortgage or a loan or filled out a tax return. When applying for a mortgage the bank takes down your information. The appraiser then appraises your home. My value never matters. I have filled out a lot of tax returns and never once did I see a spot to put in my home’s size or value. Jay, why do you make up things?

R. M.

I was in the construction trades when Trump was starting to become infamous for not paying his subs, thus Don the Con. Yes, I am anti-Trump, a man who wants to win to avoid prosecution. I would vote for Nikki Haley or any viable candidate the Republicans put forward. Biden’s policies aren’t horrible, just ineffective.

The Moderate

No doubt that another Trump loss would be very bad for this country. I mean just imagine several more years of a deranged, elderly pudding-head rambling on about how the election was stolen from him. And he’s getting up there, so this would surely morph into “The nurses are stealing my medication!” Actually, on second thought, this would be absolutely hilarious.

TJB

If you have to remove someone from the ballot in order for you to win, then you are what they say you are. A dictator!

Righty Tighty

Reading Sound Off is like watching a room full of toddlers in a food fight. “Facts” fly in every direction but it’s all pre-digested and little of it hits the intended target.

MendaciousD

Circuses are having a hard time finding new clowns since most of the good prospects are getting into politics!
