    What a rotten shame that this maniac who hijacked the white house is making lives miserable for so many. Well his days in office are surely numbered.

  2. ovr_taxed says:

    Days are numbered? Yeah – 4 years for first term and 4 years for second term.
    How dare he follow the law.
    If you don’t like the law, change it, don’t just ignore it, or face consequences.
    Remember that half of country agrees with him.

    so great to be a sanctuary city, to have illegal aliens live in are city not knowing who they are.so sick of hearing it. You should come tell my wife how great it is. To be attack at 8.30 in the morning going to work in front of Louie’s Ice Cream by an illegal alien living in the city

    Not all Somerville residents agree with the Mayor. The Mayor is acting like a criminal if he continues to disobey laws. You can’t just ignore laws because you don’t like them. That’s what criminals do. Save our City!

    Like it or not Mr. Mayor, there people are ILLEGAL —- meaning they are here ILLEGALLY hence they are BREAKING THE LAW… and so are YOU.

    Uh…no. Just under 63M votes were cast for Golden Boy (that’s nearly 3M fewer than Clinton’s 66M – thank you crooked Electoral College). So no, with a total population of nearly 320M, “half the country” does not agree with him. A lot of deceived suckers voted for and still agree with him, but they’re wising up. The daily ongoing sh*it show is revealing just what he and his backers truly stand for. He will be impeached, without question. The only real question is when.

    Robert Reich shared something interesting the other day…

    “I had breakfast recently with a friend who’s a former Republican member of Congress. Here’s what he said:
    Him: Trump is no Republican. He’s just a big fat ego.
    Me: Then why didn’t you speak out against him during the campaign?
    Him: You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.
    Me: So what now? What are your former Republican colleagues going to do?
    Him (smirking): They’ll play along for a while.
    Me: A while?
    Him: They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.
    Me: And then what?
    Him (laughing): They like Pence.
    Me: What do you mean?
    Him: Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind.
    Me: So what?
    Him: So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will …
    Me: They impeach him?
    Him: You bet. They pull the trigger.”

    Happy hunting.

    Well said Mayor Curtatone!

  8. A. Moore says:

    The president is only after those who are criminals such as drug dealers, murders and so forth. Not those who believe in US principles(not sure of his exact words). So he is actually is supporting illegals who are not criminals by is own words. Only the mayors are saying this and scaring people who are not documented. We are only a sanctuary city because of one person, not by the people.

  9. Steve keenan says:

    “THe law is the law and he has to abide by it.” Mayor Curtatone said that about STeve Wynn regarding the proposed casino in Everett.

    Can the Mayor explain why HE does not have to abide by the law concerning immigration?

  10. Mitza says:

    Curtatone was accompanied by a sign which read, “hate has no home here.”

    This has never been about ‘hate’. It’s always been about abiding by the immigration laws of the land.

  11. Oliver Seppo says:

    Hear hear, the little creepers coming out of their holes…

    How soon we forget about the Somerville Soccer players sodomized just a few years ago by the illegals living and going to school in the sanctuary city. Perhaps they can stay with the Mayor since he has offered to provide them lodging.
