I feel we're moving past trump himself...I hope so anyways!

However.....look around locally at some candidates in office and running for office on the R ticket.

Stec - he is a lapdog for Stefanik. Him calling the inmates animals is trump rhetoric all the way. I believe that he's eyeing Stefaniks seat if she were to move on. And he appears to have her approval if that were the case.

Another guy running is Jeremy Messina - he's the R running against Carrie Woerner.

His social media is worse than Stefanik!

The derogatory comments about Ms. Woerners appearance are disgusting along with the misinformation he is putting out there.

He's a trump guy.

I'm a comment reader. I want to know who thinks what and often I'm shocked at the people I know who write awful things. But at least I know who to avoid and what business to not support.

Anyways, I feel as if we're in trump's Fat Elvis stage. Maybe people are finally tired of his sh** as it hasn't changed since he started campaigning back in 2015.

I voted for President Biden and except for his support of Israel and his initial comments on supporting them no matter what, believe he's been a good leader. I hope history remembers that.

I also voted for HRC . Was devastated when trump won - I'll never forget that moment.

And when Pelosi ripped up the papers on air - I cheered her on. She pushed back on trump and I'm grateful for that always.

Women are the future. Let's give them a chance.

Mike the Flaming Liberal here to point out that the proposed sales tax increase in Warren county (and a matching one in Washington county) is being put forward by Republican supervisors.

In fact every single local tax hike for residents in this region in your lifetime was because Republicans proposed and/or voted for them, and yet Republican Hartford Supervisor Dana Haff is calling Warren County supervisors “Tax and Spend Liberals,” ignoring fellow GOP supervisors in Washington county.

Flaming Liberal Mike opposes this regressive and wholly unnecessary tax hike, pointing out that this proposal amounts to a 33.3% INCREASE in taxes. When was the last time you heard of an increase in taxes of 33.3%?

Worse, Republican Chair of the Board of Supervisors Kevin Geraghty readily admits there is no need for increased revenue at anywhere near this scale so he is proposing this increase that affects everyone - the homeless, retirees and people on fixed incomes, people who rent apartments - in order to give a tax cut to property owners including 2nd home and STR owners who do not live here, and lakefront property owners in million dollar residences.

This tax hike will add, for example, hundreds of dollars in tax to the purchase of your next car, but don’t worry, on most other big ticket items such as large appliances, furniture, riding lawnmowers, etc you can drive the short distance south to Saratoga county and save significantly. Of course that will reduce the sales for businesses in Warren county. In effect Republican supervisors in Warren county are proposing removing a competitive business advantage and hurting our business climate.

Flaming Liberal Mike says “Hard NO.”
