A shameful display from Sununu

I listened to the interview where Gov. Sununu now supports Donald Trump for president, despite the facts that Trump is a convicted fraudster and is now facing a multitude of criminal charges, including his attempt to overthrow our election process. Sununu kept repeating that it’s about politics and that 51% of the people support Trump. Whether that number is correct is irrelevant. A great many Germans supported Hitler, and how did that turn out?

Might does not always equate with right and in this case, Gov. Sununu has embarrassed himself and joined the obsequious, shameful ranks of Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz in the name of politics. What happened to ethics and morality and humanity? I can only hope that history will recall what you have said, Gov. Sununu, and hold you accountable, especially when you try to advance your political career.

The source of confusion

A recent letter (“Confused about Democrats”; April 11) lists a tired roster of predictable MAGA talking points.

Many Democrats and even a few smart Republicans seek to preserve our nation’s institutions and rule of law. The bipartisan border bill — drafted by Republican Sen. James Lankford and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy — would’ve gone a long way toward fixing the decades-old problem at our southern border. However the real “King of Chaos,” Donald Trump, said: “No, don’t fix it. I need it for a campaign issue,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who’d been for it, backed off and the measure died.

How craven, but what can you expect from a twice impeached POTUS now facing 91 felony counts and his minions spun in a whirlpool of lies: the source of real confusion.

Genuine clarity comes from 24 former Trump cabinet members and advisors who say he’s a danger to our country and should never return to the White House.

May the best slug win

In the upcoming slugfest — by which I mean a battle between slugs — between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, a vote for the former is a vote for further failure to deter events like Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and Iran’s proxy (and now overt) attacks on Israel, as well as politically-motivated prosecutions, wildly unsustainable spending and blatant attempts to purchase votes with taxpayer money, to name but a very few examples.

As for a vote for Trump, other than relentless protests by virtue-signaling simpletons, I’m unable to say exactly what one would be voting for, though I fail to see how it’s apt to be worse than the above.

What we don’t know about

A letter in the April 13 Forum (“A downplayed story”) deserves high praise and grateful thanks for the writer’s courage to voice her outrage and to open our eyes.

I am in a state of shock as I realize that there are earth-shattering news events that appear to be deliberately suppressed by all of our media.

The actions of Aaron Bushnell and Larry Hebert indicate two types of actions that the powers that be would rather not let us know about.

It is frightening. People should be aware of our mishandling of certain world affairs that in the end will affect all of us, and I mean all of us on this Earth. The consequences of continuing the status quo could be world-shattering to the extent of wiping out the human race, if we don’t fry ourselves due to non-action into unavoidable oblivion.
