America’s rotten choices: Joe shmo Biden, the geriatric leftover liar who has sold out America to South American gangs, or Donald shmuck Trump, the orange-haired king with a nasty grudge to settle at our country’s expense.

If you don’t already, you should start reading Congress Votes in the Herald. You will see how our two senators are the swing votes on so many issues. 50-49 votes are common in the Senate. Former ACLU lawyers are being appointed federal judges, and Ossoff and Warnock’s votes are getting them approved. Georgia should be ashamed. 

It appears that African American males are not safe in executive suites or the streets around a Gaines.

I voted for Nikki Haley Tuesday because it was my first opportunity this year to vote against Trump.

You take Carlton to task and ask him to look at the Supreme Court for justice and then for an example of Christians. What a joke on both counts. Let me just ask that you consider that Carlton has a point of view, and yours doesn’t align with his. You standing as a judge and declaring he should not, the usual hypocrisy of Trump supporters.

Old is when your friends compliment you on your alligator shoes and you’re barefoot.

I see where Simmons and his cult following are jumping on the Heard gravy train and getting millions in federal money. Isn’t Albany lucky to have these “men of God” stuffing those big bucks in their pockets.

Not only here, but in every city and podunk town, Congressmen and Senators rush to throw $1.6 million grants at every nonprofit and useless feel-good revitalization project that will buy a photo shoot, vote and make barber shops happy. With a Biden or Trump and $34 trillion debt, hell, why not?

Call me naive, but I believe Albany can thrive again if we get rid of the corrupt leadership.

The Constitution says “The president must faithfully execute …” but not his political rivals. Sorry, Trump, no can do. That Liberal Man

Democrat logic: First get 8 million illegal recruits across the border, then give them housing, followed by welfare money on Debit cards, then State ID cards and drivers licenses and finally register them to vote. All against the law.

Gloria, when are you holding your press conference on violent crimes in the community?

It’s hilarious watching SMRs scramble to come up with a legislative accomplishment. Liar No. 1: Shirley Sherrod did not get $13 million, it was 330,000 for mental anguish. Liar No. 2: No record inflation, election interference … you lost, deal with it. Liar No. 3: Take down the MLK statues? You’re nothing but a racist. SMRs = Losers. Signed, Yours Truly

How is it that the candidate just moved back here and yet has been serving on the utility board for six years?

I enjoy reading the Herald. The Saturday edition highlights television programs for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but it is no help when the paper arrives on Tuesday afternoon as it did today. Can’t you hire some capable people that can get the job done? Please help.
