    1. He crossed the line when he accepted help from a foreign power to get elected. Before and after November 2016.

    2. As far as I’m concerned this “gig” that trump stole is him being the ultimate apprentice. He treats America as if it’s a towel that he can wipe his muddy feet on!

    1. @SE Morgan that doesn’t make sense. I don’t like abortion, but if the mother chooses abortion, there is no child to support. if the baby is born, both parents should help support. a more logical argument for you to make would be that father’s should have say in abortion.

    1. J J this is actually the exact reason I am leaving MRI TO become a registered nurse. It’s so that I will be there when my wife and sister and members of my church go into labor.

    2. joshval21ify ….Come on…come back to earth…unless you prefer remaining in your 🤡’s world…LaLa Land. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    3. 4 keys to stop Trump from rigging our votes:

      1. Check your voter registration status NOW.

      County clerks in Republican districts across the country fraudulently purge voter rolls of legitimate Democrat voters prior to each election. In the 2014 mid-term election, I arrived at my local polling station only to discover I was no longer registered to vote, even though I had been a resident of my county and living at the same address for seven years. I was forced to cast a “provisional ballot,” which I suspect was not counted in the final vote tally. Since then, I have always verified my voter registration status well ahead of upcoming elections to ensure I have time to re-register in case of any Republican shenanigans.

      2. Vote early.

      In Republican states, there will no doubt be attempts to suppress voter turnout in Democratic districts by limiting the number of polling stations and reducing polling hours. This will likely be under the guise of protecting voters and polling workers from Covid-19 exposure.

      Laws no doubt vary by state. In Texas, voters must vote at their designated polling location on Election Day. However, during the early voting period, voters can vote at any open polling location in their county of residence. This makes it more difficult for Republicans to target Democratic districts for poll closures and restricted hours. Find the early voting laws for your state, and vote as early as possible. This will point you in the right direction: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/early-voting-in-state-elections.aspx

      3. Use no-excuse absentee voting in states where it is available.

      “No excuse absentee voting” means you can request an absentee ballot from your state or county election official for any reason. Currently, 29 states offer no excuse absentee voting, including the most important swing states: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If your state is on this list, request an absentee ballot and mail it no later than October 20th to ensure it is received and counted: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-1-states-with-no-excuse-absentee-voting.aspx

      Mail in ballots can be dropped off at your local election board in most cases, or authorized ballot boxes at various locations in your state. That will lighten the burden on the Post Office that Trump has kneecapped.

      To New Yorkers: New York State has Republican districts. Due to COVID-19, the legislature recently passed several bills to make it easier to request an absentee ballot. The date was moved up so you can request one today. You can use COVID-19 as a reason.

      4. Do NOT waste your vote.

      Yes, my fellow Americans, I am also frustrated by the two-party system, and I understand the appeal of underdog third-party candidates. You must realize, however, that a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively a vote for Trump. Don’t believe me? Just look at the numbers. Two states, Florida and Wisconsin, tipped the Electoral College for Trump in 2016. Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes and Wisconsin by a mere 23,000 votes. The top two third-party candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, captured 271,000 combined votes in Florida and 137,000 combined votes in Wisconsin. According to exit polls, the overwhelming majority of these votes were from disenfranchised Liberal voters who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden is not my preferred candidate (“Bernie/Warren 2020” was my dream ticket). Nevertheless, *we must be united in taking back our country* and make America thrive again. *VOTE **#BLUE**!* If you’re not sidin’ with Biden then you’re rootin’ for Putin! Please share this message as often as possible from now to Election Day. Say “NO” to another four years of fascism.

      Flush the turd on November the 3rd! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💩

    1. Anne-Marie no because the original death toll was projected at 2,000,000 and we just needed to temporarily shut down non essential businesses to flatten the curve so hospitals weren’t over filled. they keep changing the script and you keep eating it up

    2. @J M That’s right – trump projected 2million deaths right? and right now your at 195,000 – wow; the states have a long way to go yet… I guess my border of Canada won’t be opening up for the states for a long time.

    3. Anne-Marie the CDC projected two million deaths not trump. 2 million people are NOT going to die so what you’re saying makes literally no sense. Also, Trump just was nominated for two Nobel peace prizes for the peace deals he helped make in the Middle East. I think he’s doing a pretty good job

    4. @J M Cool—but riddle me this—why do American talk so much with their hands—Answ: cause they don’t think their face in your space is enough.

    1. It’s the Trumpsta nation and its bigger than you can imagine.For example millions of men will secretly vote for Trump while promising thier wives and girlfriends of course they voted for biden.Its going to be an electoral college landslide win ,but the DNC will try anything they can to disrupt ,legal or illegal ,they are so desperate they dont care.

    2. After the election we the tax paying citizens aren’t going to put up with the riots and the bs anymore of that they can be certain.This is why they dont dare set foot inthe suburbs, because that would go over about as well as it did up at the sturgis motorcycle rally.They will long for the days when the cops shot rubber bullets at them if they dont go home and calm down.

    3. Voting for the two parties the reason why we’re still in this predicament but we’re stuck with them so might as well kill the country at the same time

  1. When a NURSE and some “(mis?)information” administrator “claim” they believe Mr. “losers and suckers” has ANYONES health or wealth in mind beside his own then their INTEGRITY goes into SERIOUS question. These are 2 people the Amish would probably shun for the rest of their lives.

  2. That so-called nurse is an idiot! That administrator lives in La la land! Their statements DO NOT line up with the facts, and they could not refute the data! The trumpets are so far gone they’re delusional as people are dying every hour of the day! It’s really criminal.

    1. Those people will not realize. About 35% of the country are too far gone’s. You know what I will not blame Trump for this. The real culprit is Ronald Reagan. I say this because had Reagan not done all of the mindless trade deals and opening up of the economy you will not have jobs fleeing from manufacturing town after manufacturing town leading to eventually people seeing Trump as an option. This has happened very slowly since the 1980s. I am all for a free market and communism is a disaster of the highest order. But just following free trade blindly is a disaster.

      It leads to job losses because all the MNC’S have to do is to move factories abroad firing all the people with them because factories in developing countries have to pay them low wages which is equivalent to slavery. There is no need to sign any and every trade agreements in the world out there. Add to this is the fact that people have to pay a bomb for higher education in the US makes education expensive. So what is have is unbridled ignorance.

      Had administrations over the past 30 – 40 years solved these problems we could have avoided a situation in which a reality tv show incompetent bufoon would not be President.

    2. Aniruddh Rajendran I agree that free trade really flourished under Reagan and millions of jobs left this country when greedy CEO’s shipped jobs overseas, gutting the middle class in this country. Trump is equally implicit though because he lies about what he’ll do to correct it, even as is own company is manufacturing ties in China, and Maralago solely employed undocumented workers at that wretched facility every year until they were caught! The Repugnants are altogether deplorable and they have killed the middle class!

    1. J M I watch ALL his rallies. He lies makes ridiculous promises and rambles like a drunk uncle. Don’t patronize people just because they don’t agree with you

    2. @Missy P trump makes the ridiculous seem normal, and the drunk uncle look sober. trump is the biggest loser of all time, and he’s been showing it for decades now. We in NY have witnessed his tomfoolery.

    1. @Michael Chiarcos My son is a Doctor in NYC.The hospitals get paid for anyone who dies from covid. If they are on a respirator they are paid a lot! This is the biggest hoax ever! We are not stupid.

  3. “I don’t pay attention to the polls, just the facts.”
    She didn’t even know that trump destroyed the exact program set up specifically to handle this. Facts? She’s clueless about facts.
    “He stopped all travel.” We all know that’s the exact opposite of a fact. He in fact didn’t even stop travel from China as he loves to claim. She’s frighteningly ignorant. I would never want her to be my nurse if she considers the lies she repeated “facts”. Alternative facts = lies.

    1. The blinding ignorance of the trump supporting women on this panel nearly brings me to tears. So so many unnecessary deaths. So so many lies and misdirects from this “president”.

    2. His travel ban may of had more bite if he didn’t also restrict travel from all arab countries, and Mexico. How many times can you cry wolf.

    3. @Heidi Oconnor I’m a Brit and I fear for your nation; if he wins he’ll destroy what’s left and if he looses you’re right some of his folk will start a war.

  4. I loved how the “nurse” said Biden had 8 years to build a pandemic response…. um… they did… she had nothing else to say about that.
