The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday, Nov. 2

The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday, Nov. 2

My husband has received 3 applications to register to vote in the Presidential election. Guess what? He passed away 3 years ago. How many other people received these cards, and acted on them? I guess dead people can vote.

I wonder why it took 14 days for my mail-in ballot application to get processed in Berks County. I applied online for it on Oct. 11. I called Berks County about it on Oct. 24 and they said it was “in queue” to be processed. On Oct. 25 I got a notification that it was processed, but not mailed out, yet. I vote every election so I was registered. Was it GOP affiliation that slowed it down?

“Dutch”


Kamala is in hiding again and took off 2 days from campaigning. One has to wonder about her mental health. Is she having a breakdown or what? The cackling is getting worse and she is serving up word salad answers over and over again.

To C of UP. The Flyers stopped playing “God Bless America” (and also removed her statue) because a few spineless and thin-skinned people complained that 2 of her songs from the 1930s, yes the 1930s, contained “racist lyrics and sentiments.”


Who is a fascist? The candidate for president who attacked the free press; installed unqualified relatives in government jobs; refused to accept the results of a fair election; and tried to overthrow the government. Hint: it is not Harris. Can’t make this stuff up.

Jay Miller


Democrats labeled Trump’s magnificent rally in Madison Square Garden reminiscent of a Nazi 1939 rally. Many Jews were seen there, including Hasidic Jews. I guess they agree with the deranged Democrats.

Michael Stern


When I hear Trump saying he’s working for you, it’s disgusting. I’m not a billionaire, so Trump is not for me. Besides, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He has never worked a day in his life, so he has no idea what it’s like to get up very early in the morning and go to work. I have done it for more than fifty years, some days it’s not easy, but he wouldn’t know what that’s like.


MAGA Gal: Your pseudo-intellectual invocation of the “Cloward-Priven Strategy” is deliberately disingenuous. It had nothing to do with immigration or destroying America. It was about reforming the welfare system in 1966 to ensure fairness for those in poverty. Did you get this from some right-wing website? Try checking your “facts” before you spout off.


Can’t make it up! Senator Casey is using Trump’s policies in commercials implying I’m with Trump! The Washington Post and LA Times refuse to endorse Kamala, guess they know Harris isn’t qualified for the job! Democrats replaced the nominee, Biden, with a DEI unqualified appointment and are now having second thoughts! Defending democracy! LOL

Just the facts!


Joe Biden wants to “lock up” former President Trump. Biden can’t even lock down the border after 4 years.

Route 422 is littered with a mountain of trash and a disturbing number of nauseating, rotting deer carcasses. There isn’t a square yard adjacent to the road that is not covered in filth. This is a general health and safety issue that affects the quality of everyone’s life. Mike McCloskey and Joe Ciresi, will you please share your plan to address this persistent eyesore with the voters?

Karen


Trump, will you stop calling people stupid or dumb? You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed either. In fact, that stupid comment that you made recently about the Congressional Medal of Honor winners, I’d say you’re about as dumb as a bag of hammers.

A Veteran not voting for Trump


Jay Miller, for once you didn’t make stuff up. You are correct, the Democrats do continue to demonize the poor, marginalized, and immigrants. The budget is way too little, per Mayorkas, to handle disaster, and promote smuggling narcotics and slavery (the party of the KKK, remember?) Thanks for pointing it out.

Cato


Shame on the men who own Los Angeles Times and Washington Post for deciding to not publish their papers’ Harris endorsements! If the MAGA candidates win, those newspaper owners have taught Trump (and Vance, who surely would take over as president fairly soon after inauguration) the power that a repressive government has. Obeying in advance only invites further abuse, as Trump has demonstrated over and over. Protect freedom of the press!

Vi in the Valley


WWJD! I know what Jesus would do! He/She (not They/Them) would be voting straight Republican ticket because Jesus isn’t a racist, doesn’t let sexual predators and murderers into his house, and doesn’t tax his people into poverty. Jesus is an all-loving God embracing and protecting Donald Trump. Kamala’s the left-wing devil puppet of the “America Last” Democrat Party. Good versus evil, and that’s all you need to know. Trump for President!

Righty Tighty


Given Trump’s obvious decline, who would really run things in a second term? The inexperienced JD Vance, who is smarter, ideologically “far out”, more misogynistic, and even more of a danger to our country, using Project 2025, which he wrote the introduction to, as his roadmap.

Kamala Harris campaign surrogate and alleged Christian, Tyler Perry was at an “Usher” concert stuffing bills into the panties of a stripper. The Kamala Harris campaign has some really upstanding, classy guys pushing her. They do what they accuse others of doing. Just search on the internet and you can find it easily.

R. M.


Hey KC, of course Trump will claim it’s rigged if he doesn’t win. Do you really think people will vote for someone who supports millions of illegal aliens, defunding police, wants to eliminate ICE, death row inmates can vote, bail out 2020 radical protest rioters, etc.? Of course you don’t, so you see it would have to be rigged! “Take America Back” and “Make America
Great Again.”

Ernman


There is only one reason why CBS won’t release the full transcript of its “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris: The full transcript would reveal that CBS edited the interview to make Kamala look good.

Jim Atlas


The recent “wealth tax” program in Norway was supposed to increase tax revenue by $146 million yearly. Instead, individuals, worth $54 billion, left the country, leading to a loss of $594 million in tax revenue. Some “plans” just don’t work out, as intended.
