Stephen Miller is now calling Minnesota protesters insurrectionists, while the January 6th mobs were considered peaceful protesters and tourists. Miller is clearly laying the groundwork to invoke the Insurrection Act. The Department of Justice&#8217;s probes into contrived investigations, our taxpayer money going into a $400 million ballroom, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Why are Republicans allowing this madness to escalate? Giving this administration the green light to do whatever unconstitutional thing they want only allows more of the same, even worse. Polls show a significant drop in support for how Trump is handling immigration and the economy. Congress needs to stop bowing to the king and serve the people they were elected to represent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Marcia Murphy, Centennial<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Americans are going to have to look back and come to grips with how we have allowed this administration to break the world.

The American people and the Republican Congress need to rein in this man who would endanger American and world security just to satisfy his ego.

There are no written documents, it\u2019s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

My wife and I love to eat out, but in all honesty, the prices are starting to deter us. At our favorite sit-down burger place, a burger is $14, fries are $4, and a Happy Hour beer is $6 &#8212; $24 before taxes\/fees and tip. There are myriad taxes and extra fees (Fair Labor, kitchen, recycling, composting, etc.) these days, usually averaging 10-15% of the bill. Add a 20% tip and you are over $30 for a burger and a beer. Multiply that by two, and our tab is usually just under $65.<\/p>\n<p>Not to sound like my mother, but you want to know how many burgers, fries and beers I can have at home for $65? I honestly don&#8217;t know how the average family eats out these days. I&#8217;m guessing in light of all the restaurant closures that too many don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mike Conkey, Thornton<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.denverpost.com\/dp\/preference\">Sign up for Sound Off to get a weekly roundup of our columns, editorials and more. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To send a letter to the editor about this article, submit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/submit-letter\/\">online<\/a> or check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2013\/07\/09\/submission-guidelines-and-contact-information\/\">guidelines<\/a> for how to submit by email or mail.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >Why wait until the midterms?
