    1. @Jew Dy So let me get this straight, your response to Bidens lack of policy is to stick your fingers in your ears and say, nyah, nyah ,nyah, Trump doesn’t have any policies either ?
      Were your parents brother and sister you low IQ, inbred moron.
      Any by the way, I won’t vote Trump either.

    2. @Jew Dy Gee Jew. for 3.5 yrs Trumps economy has been booming, have you been in the basement with Joey all this time. Cant believe some of the people that get on here, shezz.

    3. Hugh Guess why do you have to be so unpleasant? Do you think your ad hominem attacks bolster your argument or just make you look insecure? Both my parents were members of Mensa, by the way, and my only sister is a Road Scholar. You can use to Google to figure out what those things are since you asked after my family.

  1. I miss the old days back in the 90s where my insurance was $12 a week and now several years ago paying $900 a month! But politicians don’t care that our pay is still stagnant!! As for the RICH, they forget who they are getting rich off of, the American people! Pay it back! Pay your fair share of taxes! You have more money than you could ever spend! Stop bleeding the people for every last drop of blood!!

    1. Your medical services are extorting you. You collectively pay *double* the amount as France does for medical costs, and where in France *everybody* gets excellent medical care, for you it is just the lucky few.
      For instance, a vial of insulin costs *10 times* what that same vial costs in Canada.
      You need a strong government to step in and stop the excesses of self-enrichment at the expense of everybody else. Stop the excesses of monopolies and price gauging.

    2. Priscilla Quijas Please make sure you all vote and your friends too. Do it for your country and your children.

    3. @Debbie Henri – What needs to be made clear is that British health care is funded by a small tax on every working citizen. A graduated tax based on income. A fairly small tax. Therefore health care is not free but paid for by everyone – providing a secure cheap system for everyone. Private health care is also available for those who want it. Nobody is ever bankrupted when they fall sick. It’s a common sense system which works for everyone. Watch the Tories try to sell it off because capitalism is their God. Sadly Americans have been duped into believing this system is ‘Communism’.

    4. @real american Sorry, mate, that used to be true, maybe, in the 50ies, but not anymore. Now, you need hard work, ambition, *and* good education, or friends in the right places. At least for the majority of people. There will always be a few people that just get lucky through no fault of their own. They tell their story, and everybody believes it to be an universal truth. That is called “Survivor Bias”. You hear only the stories of the lucky ones, not of the vast majority for who this is simply not true.

    1. @Mr Infinitemonkeycage The point is that people have a right to vote by mail and no one should be taking that away. Also, not everyone goes to walmart, I for example order my groceries and they’re brought to my vehicle.

    2. @Far Muse fair enough….can still vote safely in person I’m sure we’re all smart enough to get it done don’t you think? Postal just seems a bit risky and a judge has already ordered a redo because of it failing. Surely there has to be a way everyone can still vote in person?

    3. @Mr Infinitemonkeycage They can make it safe and only let in a few people at a time but again, why take away people’s right to vote by mail? the Trump’s have done it and almost all celebrities mail in their votes. Because Ivanka ordered a bunch of voting machines from China, all of a sudden trump is pushing people to go in so we can use those machines, think about that. I’ve come to realize that trump has his own agenda and this whole USPS isn’t about mailing in ballots. There are alot of protocols in place and I know this because my sister is one of the people who open and review them. Let’s not change the constitution and take peoples rights away.

    4. @Vera von Weltin It doesn’t matter who is president the left will riot. More deaths do you think Biden will lift his hands and cure american, lol. The government loses tens of billions each year. What’s 140 million over several years.

    1. D LHC Trump inherited an economy that was heading in the right direction already…..his supporters think he inherited a terrible economy, waved a magic wand and changed it overnight, which is what 3 1/2 years would basically be

    2. DUMP added as much debt in 3 years as Obama did in 8 and stock market rise is all do to Fed who oens most of it.

  2. In WW II, every state let soldiers vote remotely and the military sent in about 3.2 million absentee ballots, without automation. This was nearly seven percent of the electorate in the 1944 presidential election. FDR won a fourth term. Trump has no evidence of fraud. He’s just a stable liar.

    1. Karen Shaub As long as the current “no witnesses allowed Senate” and “activated” billy barr has his back, he will continue destroying our country. He will “activate” Barr at every opportunity. We are definitely screwed.

    2. Virginia O’Flaherty tRump wasn’t on that job. He could have put an end to that, with all haste.

    3. @Karen Shaub Praying the we can combat all of that disenfranchisement and cheating to win to save our democracy – we must have a Biden-Harris Landslide!

    1. NPC AFRO The really scary thing is he will have until January to get even with all of America, if he chooses to. Himself is a clear and present danger to all of us. He can fire any who disagrees with him. Sessions should man up right now about everything he knows if this administration challenges the election results. DeJoy should be forced to put back all he took and then be locked up right now, so we can all be safe in voting. Enough is Enough. Lock them all up.

    1. and drop a ‘nuke’ on a hurricane, buy Greenland, and leave the United Nations and the WHO in the middle of the worst pandemic since 1918!!

    2. I understand that the results of injecting disinfectants turn Democrats into Republican’s and when Republican’s inject disinfectants they just remain as ignorant as they were before the disinfectant injection. The would-be harm to the Republican brain is inconsequential because they haven’t a brain to be harmed. 🤣🤣

    3. @JOYCE Johnson you are a Republican and for that reason I will treat you kind and gentle because you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been left wanting; a fully functioning brain.

    4. @Mark Hessbrook Wrong, I am a registered Democrat. You can’t judge a book by its cover and please don’t try to check me. I’m just glad I got my brain instead of yours.

    1. Yah great idea let’s spread the virus as efficiently as possible that’ll show em who’s boss cough cough

    1. @KesArt No one resembling a REAL MAN is burning and looting the cities in America. Enjoy the show from across the pond….😉

    2. Cee Cee you say if Trump wins again you will lose all respect for Americans. You don’t understand the electoral process, and I get that. The electoral College actually makes the decision. The popular vote was overwhelmingly won by Hillary Clinton. Several states are more important in the process than others. I just read that that the Supreme Court in July decided that the persons who are designated to cast the votes for each state now have to cast their vote as the voters, meaning us, really meant them to go. That is big, and oddly I haven’t heard anything in the Media about it. THAT will be a more accurate representation of how America voted. So you see, we haven’t really had a true opportunity to be heard. It may have made sense in 1776, when few males were educated, but not now. Women didn’t get the vote until the 1920’s election. It’s been a slow slog for us. So now, maybe it really will be for and by the people.

    3. Also, Cee cee each state gets a number of votes to be cast, and that varies by the population of the state. So, it isn’t the actual population but a designated representation . See map of the U.S. with these designations.

    4. @TrixiLovesYou Russia certainly does. They want disunity. China supports Biden because they find Trump too childish. Their only interest is export potential globally.

  3. If MR. Trump was the Captain of the Titanic:”There isn’t any iceberg.” “There was an iceberg but it’s in a totally different ocean.”“The iceberg is in this ocean but it will melt very soon.” “There is an iceberg but we didn’t hit the iceberg.”“We hit the iceberg, but the damage will be repaired very shortly.” “The iceberg is a Chinese iceberg.”“We are taking on water but every passenger who wants a lifeboat can get a lifeboat, and they are beautiful lifeboats.”“Look, passengers need to ask nicely for the lifeboats if they want them.” “We don’t have any lifeboats, we’re not lifeboat distributors.”Passengers should have planned for icebergs and brought their own lifeboats.” “I really don’t think we need that many lifeboats.” “We have lifeboats and they’re our lifeboats, not the passengers’ lifeboats.”“The lifeboats were left onshore by the last captain of this ship.” “Nobody could have foreseen the iceberg.” “I don’t take responsibility at all.”…These Are Taken From Trump’s Own Words—Not Mine!

    1. Quantico is awaiting Trump and company if the Constitution is respected. There are prisoners thetey for less crimes.

  4. America, for God’s sake! Gooooo and vote and do something! 4 more years of this and your dictatorship will be fully installed!

    1. S A Even though I doubt it….your optimism is seems to be misplaced….BIDEN HAS TO BE PUT IN TO DUMP A PSYCHOTIC FASCIST….BUT…..HE WILL NOT DO NEARLY ENOUGH TO GET THE COUNTRY ON THE RIGHT FOOT…..IF BUNKERBOY SUCCEEDS IN STEALING THE VOTE AGAIN WE WILL INEVITABLY BECOME A SLAVE NATION WITH A DEPRAVED PSYCHOTIC DICTATOR, JUST AS PUTIN WANTS!

    2. He has a very good documentary about healthcare…he loves our British NHS…. you should watch it👍

  5. “When more people vote, Republicans can’t win” The only intelligent thing Trump has said in his 3 1/2 years in office…VOTE

    1. @Freedom County Are you unaware of how to undo Caps Lock, or do you really SHOUT EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK??? I’m concerned about how you can help “raise” children when you can’t spell, despise manners, and think illogically and hatefully. What can you teach them other than to be loud, rude, and despise more than half of the citizens in our nation? Hate should not be a family value. One of my favorite YouTubers is from central FL. Beau of the Fifth Column. You may not understand him: he’s down-to earth freedom loving gun-toting country boy. He’s also well-educated, well-informed, incredibly logical and rational, compassionate, responsible, believes in helping others REGARDLESS of race religion gender political party etc. He knows the meanings of words like freedom and truth as well as the correct spelling. I’m suspect you only “help” people who are “your kind.” You have shown that you don’t value logical, rational thinking or education. But give Beau a try, see if you can understand when the words come from a white Christian Gator State family guy who looks like a redneck. You’ll never listen to me, because I’m not “your kind.” I regularly seek information from a variety of sources rather than staying in a “my beliefs only” bubble as you do, because getting a wide range of info improves the mind. Are you brave enough to try it? Are you polite enough to stop SHOUTING EVERY WORD? Polite people only capitalize an entire word when they want to emphasize it. If you’re being accidentally rude, I’ll forgive that. If your intent is to shout at everyone, that’s just obnoxious and arrogant.

    2. @Freedom County so your hero is a guy who lies when it may get something he wants. If those are your values, you’ll never respect me. I consider honesty and integrity very important. I can sort of understand why that would bother you. In another post I recommended you watch explore the Beau of the Fifth Column channel. I must warn you, Beau also places high value on honesty and integrity so his content may disturb you. Beau provokes people to think for themselves and speak truth to power. You may not be able to handle that. I’m beginning to feel sympathy for you, and to worry that challenging your world-view might be hazardous.

    3. @Margaret Wordnerd AS FAR AS THE CAPS/YELLING ISSUE GOES!!! IVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO BE FIRM AND STATE YOUR TRUTH LOUDY WHEN DEALING WITH LIBERAL SLINKYS AS THE DONT UNDERSTAND OUR FAITH!!! IN JESUS AND THE FLAG!!! ALEX JUST DOES WHAT HE HAS TO DO SAY HE CAN CONTINUE WAKING UP JAWL SHEEPLE AND STEER THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNTRY TOWARDS TRUF #CONSERVATIVERAPTUESDAYS@JOHNNYSBAR (MASKS DISCOURAGED)

    4. @Plumannieduff AINT NO LAUGHING MATTER!!! JAWL HURR!!! THE COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!!! THE PEDOPHILE RINGS OF THE DEEP STATE ARE GETTING MORE SOPHISTICATED AND THE LIBERAL ELITE IS PLANNING ON DESTROYING OUR DEMOCRACY WITH RIGGED ,MAIL IN BAILOTS!!! THEY WANT TO DO AWAY WITH ALL OF THE PROGRESS OF TRUMPS PRESIDENCY!!! AINT NO PARTY LIKE A LIBERAL SLINKY PARTY!!!

  6. I’m so tired of being sick and tired …in America!
    Biden/Harris 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Once fat boy is of no benefit to Putin….Do you really think he will have a place even in Russia..? Putin just used him as a ‘tool’.. likely using trump’s needy and
      pathetic ego issues to manipulate him…

    2. Thing is, he is an American.

      There is no “elsewhere” that he could be neatly pushed off to.
      He is the product of a pretty troubled society, he is America’s problem.
