That disgruntled subscriber is... something. It's like he randomly threw darts at a thesaurus

OK. So you like Trump. Others don't. Just try to understand why others hold different views.

Or stop reading and stop paying. This isn't Russia. Is this Russia? No. Not Russia.

Right? I didn't vote Trump in 2016, but I sure as hell did in 2020. Doesn't mean I can't read or appreciate people who didn't. And if I did have a problem, why subscribe in the first place? Treacher's made no secret of his opinion of Trump. Some people seem to just want to be angry

TL;dr also my eyesight is shot.

Joe Biden won't even answer any questions about his bungled Afghanistan policy, why do you think he'd answer any questions about who's really controlling him? It's obvious that the guy is a demented puppet – sure, I'd like to know who's really in power, but then again, maybe we don't want to know (Obama? Jen Psaki? Jill Biden? China? The list goes on...)

I almost whoshed my beer when I read your climate change comment. Keep up the good work, I'll keep drinking.

Bravo to your “disgruntled subscriber”. He took considerable time and effort to state his opinion (which I agree with, BTW). He was polite and well-spoken in his far-ranging discussion of our current state and the many crises facing us. I don’t subscribe to your column because I agree with everything you write, but because I want to support alternative media and voices that I consider typically thoughtful. I am puzzled by your one-liner following his written words. If you are indeed poking fun at this subscriber, I truly regret that I recently subscribed.

Take care.

Nothing wrong with his viewpoint. I think Trump had a lot of good accomplishments that were swept under the rug by his haters. Unfortunately, he was slow on the appointments and was hard on those who stepped up. If you can't control the deep state, including the chair warmers, you're not going to get your agenda done. His boorish tweets alienated a lot of voters. He probably would have lost even if the other side didn't cheat.

Given the admitted conspiracy by the media and gate-keepers to shape the news in an anti-Trump direction and the sheer number of real, fake and semi-fake scandals that surfaced and disappeared weekly, it’s amazing that the election was as close as it was.
