Democrats Blame Trump for death


Texas Rep. Sylvester Turner, the former mayor of Houston, has died suddenly at 70 years old, just two months after joining Congress.

Current Houston Mayor John Whitmire announced Turner’s death at the beginning of a city council meeting on Wednesday, March 5, per local news reports.

According to Whitmire, the Democratic House member was taken to the hospital on Tuesday night after attending President Donald Trump’s address to Congress. He was later pronounced dead.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm surprised Al Green survived.

Al and Sylvester were the best of friends. Served on Houston City council together years ago along with Sheila Jackson Lee.

The corruption was without limits.
