"Something Happening Here," April 10 Private Eye
What a joke. I'd never protest President Trump. There's absolutely nothing to protest him for! Only a small, loud, pathetic minority would protest him. The nation loves our president! This column doesn't surprise coming from a leftist lunatic paper like City Weekly.

I come from union tire builders in Akron in the 50s. Unions helped my family. My late husband was able to retire because of working a union shop.
I was [at Utah's "Hands Off" protest] on the 5th too. I met a lot of Vietnam vets, and even a lady who protested at Berkeley in the 60s. I am pissed at 72 I am having to do this. Thirty-six million eligible voters didn't give a f--k enough to vote. I will be there on the 19th with a plus one. Nice article, thanks John.

Love this article! I remember to this day how scared I was when my dad had to take me to the Bingham clinic because I broke my ankle. Scary looking guys! The protest on Saturday was so awesome!

Leftists often operate from a place of fear, outrage or urgency, especially around issues like civil rights, climate and perceived threats to democracy. So their anger is more visible—protests, media, social posts, etc. Trump supporters are often driven by frustration, pride or a feeling of being unheard, but that gets channeled into loyalty, patriotism.

"Whistle Stop," April 7 Online
This guy [Transportation Secretary Sean] Duffy from the cast of MTVs The Real World wishes he was a fraction of the man that Secretary Pete [Buttigieg] was while in this job—it's such a step down in mediocrity, it's really sad.

[Rep. Celeste] Maloy and [Sen. John] Curtis are complicit in the systematic destruction of our democracy.

Bet it was the 1st time old Johnny boy ever rode public transportation, and lowered himself to redneck status for 3 minutes.

In other news, guys who normally drive BMWs take public transit for photo op.

A slow, old-technology diesel train, while other countries blow past us in high speed rail. I guess we have tax breaks for the wealthy that they don't have.

Do they think all this PR is covering up the fact that they support Trump and all his cruel policies? Actions speak louder than your words—we know how you vote in Washington and no amount of this bull crap will cover that up.
