To Daines re: free speech

September 23, 2025 by Guest Post

by Ruth Hazelton, Hamilton

Senator Daines, free speech is under attack. Innocents are being pulled out of hallways where they are attempting to follow the rules. Appropriated funds are being denied to public supported agencies we rely on. The destruction of our beloved institutions is underway. The White House grounds are being torn up. And on and on and on. All but 17% of us are sick to death of this administration. You and your colleagues, with power to put an end to this mess, remain silent. Please lend your voice to our cause. We would like to see democracy salvaged before it is too late.

    What a pile of dog crap and lies this opinion is Ruth. You should seek help. Trump’s popularity is over 50%. Please stop pedaling your lies.

      Latest average of polls: Trump approval 43.6. Polling on individual topics, the economy, tariffs, right direction-wrong direction, even worse.

        Ruth said 17%. More lies from Democrats. Your garbage hand picked poll may tell you 43% Wayne but in the real world it’s 48-53%. I cut you some slack with 50%
