1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I have said that Trump has corrupted the government by making them kowtow to his wishes. A couple examples can be the NOAA refusal to correct Trumps sharpie hurricane map. The other one is various federal agencies claiming life sans toothbrushes, soap, and beds is still humane living conditions for children in the detention centers. I can keep going on but I don't have the time to spend an eternity on this endeavor. If Trump is getting his bust carved into the mountain with Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt: I want the face in the above picture as his bust. A 73 year old man who lies, cheats, and steals. That is our president!

Bloomberg - Nanny stater
It may be a good idea to consume less sugar, salt, trans fat and tobacco, but should government tell us what we can and can’t eat and drink? At a time when we often toss around rhetoric about taking rights away like its yesterday’s newspaper, Bloomberg actually is taking away New Yorkers’ rights to decide what to drink, eat and consume with increasing regularity. It begs the question: what is next? It is not much of a stretch to imagine Bloomberg requiring sandwich shops to serve only whole grain bread (more fiber), employees to use stairs instead of elevators (more exercise), or Girl Scouts to sell crates of apples instead of Thin Mints (more vitamins). Our government was not created to interfere in our lives or restrict our freedom of choice in such a way.

MSG Stan Hutchison - But I don't imagine any of his nanny state over reach will have a "John Bell Exemption" clause.
