  1. Trump is a great inventor. He created the legendary MAGA hats making it much easier to identify and stay away from brainless stupid folk.

    1. @molly lazaris JUST ABOUT EVERY BIDEN VOTER LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE ALL OUT DANCING IN THE STREET. THE DEMOCRAT VOTE TALLY LOOKS ABOUT RIGHT TO ME.
      THE DEAD VOTERS MUST BE TRUMPS BRAINWASHED WALKING DEAD ZOMBIES.

    2. @Mary Hera
      They aren’t their official title is “Fox ENTERTAINMENT News” that way they don’t have to act like responsible journalists, just the tabloid muck rakers that they are.

    3. @Skartuga
      1. They would know the difference between “there” – locational and “their” – possessive.
      2. They would know how to spell “excuse”.
      3. If the fake votes don’t appear by November 23, the elections get certified anyways.
      4. There aren’t any fake votes, just a fake incumbent.
      5. If you remove your MAGA hat, your brain can start working properly.

    4. Make America Golf Again and Keep America Golfing. The only time we have been safe in the past 4 years is when he was golfing. He only golfed about 1 entire year while in office, I just wish he had played more golf.

    1. @Harry Butler Apparently history books say that Hitler committed suicide via cyanide but there was speculation that he and Eva Braun escaped Europe via submarine to the South Pole where they would have surely perished.
      Trump will no doubt be welcomed in someones lavish Floridian granny flat, house bound with an ankle collar. There he will hide until he dies penniless and senile. Then off to meet his buddy Satan and Sadam Hussain and Hitler and all the other aresholes!

    2. Here in Western Australia we are pretty much back to normal. There has been no community transmissions here at all. Only covid cases have been from travellers interstate and overseas,and they had to quarantine for 2 weeks in a secure hotel. At the beginning of covid,everything was shut down,people did the right thing,and it worked. It amazes me that some Americans find it difficult to do the right thing,and then 70 MILLION voted for trump. Good luck mate,its got to get better,can’t possibly get worse…

    3. Please don’t stop making noise over there about why this happened.. Media.. Etc.. We kind of need the international community to bring a huge chunk of our population back from an alternate reality right now.

    1. FAIR ELECTION…………… LET THEM PROVE THEIR CASE………. FOR …… FAIR ELECTION……… DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE ?????

    2. @C Land yes, because Trump is shadier than a crack dealer trying to sell swatches on the side of a bus that just left nowhere heading to a man who launders Snicker bars in order to feed a pack of wild penguins. Shady, just shady Trump is

  2. Like the day he pushed the minister of Montenegro, to get ahead, the constant props, planes,balconies, Bible. These people are bad people.

      2nd Timothy 3:1 through 5
      “but understand this that in the last days there will set in perilous times of great stress in trouble – – – hard to deal with and hard to bear. 2 for people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an imported and (greedy) desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffers], disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, and profane. 3 [they will be] without natural (human) affection (callous and inhumane), relentless – – – admitting of no truce or appeasement. [They will be] slanderers – – false accusers, troublemakers; intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fears, haters of good. 4 [they will be] treacherous (betrayers), rash [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. 5 FOR [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it – – – their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession. Avoid [all] touch people – – – turn away from them. 6 from on them are those who worm their ways into homes and captivate silly and weak natured and spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with [the burden of their] sins [and easily] swayed and led by various evil desires and seductive impulses 7 [these week women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to ride at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth.

      2nd Thessalonians 2:9, 10,11,12
      The lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing.” 2nd Timothy 2:9, 10 (9 the coming [of the lawless one, the Antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and elusive marvels – – [all of them] lying wonders – – 10 and by unlimited seduction to evil and with all we could deception for those who are (going to perdition,) perishing because they did not welcome the Truth but refuse to love it that they might be saved.11, therefore, God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false 12In order that all may be judged and condemned did not believe – – refuse to adhere to, trust in and rely on – – the Truth, but [instead] took pleasure in unrighteousness. – – – The Amplified Bible)
      and what can these people expect by being lawless, in their future? There is a certain expectation that they will perish at some point for their unrighteousness.——————————dan 2——- 44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom+ that will never be destroyed.+ And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people.+ It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms,+ and it alone will stand forever,+ 45 just as you saw that out of the mountain a stone was cut not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold.+ The Grand God has made known to the king what will happen in the future.+ The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
      Daniel 2:44
      God’s advice to people who want to please him and benefit themselves read Psalms146:3 “45 and his Followers—- G O P IN A NUTSHELL—

    1. @joshua traman
      No one’s stopping them from taking the legal action. But when there’s no evidence of voter fraud found he still won’t accept defeat. His narcissistic behavior is both predictable and a danger to national security.

    2. @codeSlob it is not him not accepting defeat, it is the American people will not accept a rigged election. Let the process go, let’s have the DOJ investigate irregularities, Trump really does not have to prove his case in court, anybody with the brain the size of an amoeba knows that there were no controls in place to prevent fraud with voter mail-ins in several states. Only crooks and thieves refuse to acknowledge this fact.

    3. @Stef Alexandra Sure you can. You clowns had no proof of collusion and look what you did there, Mueller, Mueller will get him, when he found no proof, then congress they found no proof yet RACHAEL told you it was true, so you believe it. Take a look at what was filed already. Stupid. Rachael won’t tell you.

    4. @Michael Armijo is this your opinion or a fact? Ima go with the ladder judging by your childish remark. Also, I wasn’t even talking to you nor are we talking about the past. Try to focus on the now.

    1. Yes he is furious the Defense Secretary made him have to go thru this embrassing election when he wouldn’t make the military take over the country for Trump during BLM he was So disappointed he had thought the protests were going to be the start of his dictatorship. Now the whole world knows that he lost the popular vote twice.

  3. Barr gave a blind eye to all things illegal and criminal!! Biden’s new AG gotta find a prison cell for this enabler!!

    1. Yeah Barr hasn’t prosecuted any democrats for their crimes a blind eye for sure but wake up your selling out your own people

    2. @timothy price sr You are either a Russian troll with little command of the English language or you never went to any institution of learning. Your post literally makes NO SENSE!

    3. @Derek Ryan barr hasn’t prosecuted any Democrats, as there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to prosecute, you cannot prosecute based on the wims and demands of a dillusional POTUS based on his own projected self image. There must be charges you can actually prove!!! Go figure!!! FYI the United States of America is a Democratic Republic, not a wanna-be Dictatorship where citizens are imprisoned/murdered for simply independent thinking or expression. If that is the type of country in which you wish to be a citizen, may I suggest North Korea or Russia???

    4. where are all the cells for all these crooks – I guess they will have to release al those in jail for Cannabis Crimes – that might make a few people happy and save us looking for new jail cells for all the Trump crooks – we are going to need a new name fr Trump Crooks –

    5. @SherlockWho So why the SDNY is waiting on Trump the turd to be out of office to charge him ? It is because the other piece of shi.. call Barr is protecting the criminal. Can’t wait to see them in jail.

  4. Then he must be stripped of his position as Attorney General and all of his rights in continuing to pursue his career as a lawyer. Stripped of all his practices. Everything!!

    1. @adam therolf Really are you talking Dem proven or real proof. Could you give me a example of one so I can see. After RUSSIA and IMPEACHMENT Dems have o criticality.

    2. @Debbie Sowell you must realize by now there is no attempt at stealing the election or are you just that stupid and deluded? the AP has the right to post the results as they come in and yes they can Officially announce their projected winner based on vote totals. you obviously dont know the first thing about elections. i’m sorry about how sad this country has become in the last 4.5 years so many people dont bother checking their facts or even do the most basic research before they start spouting their own deluded ramblings but what can i expect from a cult follower of trump.

    3. @adam therolf Really? No Attempt at STEALING THE ELECTION?? What do you call:
      Dead people voting
      People voting more than once
      People being coerced to vote against their principles
      People illegally in our country voting
      Postal workers back-dating Ballots
      Poll workers and Observers not being allowed to do their job or enter the buildings
      Votes being counted with no supervision
      And More
      You should be just as concerned as we are because it could happen to you and your candidate next time. You apparently didn’t even bother to “do the most basic research” to see what fraud has been found. Now who is the person doing the “deluded ramblings?”

    4. @Lin He Obummer invited Trump to the WH because it is an American tradition to do so AFTER the election is OFFICIAL. The electoral college results hasn’t even been announced yet. You people are really jumping the gun here!

  5. And don’t forget he’s all about trying to get those last-minute donations, for re-counts, yah… that’s it… recounts.

    1. @Steven Kies yes, he usually just files for bankruptcy so he gets out of paying off debts. I think he has filed for bankruptcy 3 or 4 times so far. THAT is the business man people voted for

    2. @Marvin Navata to clarify… they aren’t his legal fees! They’re ours! The American people are paying for the integrity of out Republic! But hey tomato tomatoe right…? Lol!

    3. @Jessica Ribot actually I was going to send him a check of a million dollars. Backdated to 2140.

      Actually, a great idea would be to send money to immigration legal services or LBGTQ advocacy groups of your choice in Donny’s name. Let him get the thank you letters.

    4. Bill Barr wants to be tRumps lawyer let trump pay him not the tax payer .Congress need to Cut out Billy goat barrs money

    1. @Grace Wright Where would I start… His criminal negligence to deal with the pandemic is in legal terms either “negligent homicide” or “involuntary manslaughter. The main responsibility of the US President is it to keep the American people safe. He chose to ignore the advice by scientists, thrown out the existing pandemic plan, and not just spread misinformation about the virus, but facilitated its spread with his packed rallies.
      What has been disclosed about his tax returns so far, points to tax evasion at best.
      I don’t want to get into his other crimes for which he is protected from prosecution by the corrupt judiciary under Barr, up until the time he leaves office.
      This “man” is a crook and a traitor who is selling out the nation.

    2. Trumps a trader, and we should do what other countries who have ousted a mad man. I’m not going to say what that is! Just use your imagination!

    3. @Separate Realities Some mad man leaders in other countries have been taken care of by the USA and having a domestic mad man, the USA seems powerless.

    4. @Real M So, in your demented mind, EVERYTHING Trump has done was associated with the works of fascism and ALL OF HUMANITY says so. Dude, you are clearly a SHEEPLE follower of the MSM. Or, you have a seriously deranged case of TDS.🤪

    1. @Callie Smith Live streamlining and poll observers, Republican Secretary of State + down ballot Republicans won=Referendum against 45.

    2. @Carriemchardy Carrie Trump’s latest outrage in trying to invalidate the election will Galvanize Georga to stick it to the GOP.

    1. Ha, Ha, We see righteous and evil are playing out here. The evil force is claiming fraudulent election win through its controlled media. The righteous force is starting to do its work to eliminate the evil force. Wait and see who has the last laugh.

    1. @Molly Brown And of which have been put in place by the Trump administration! And are nothing but his bootlicking sycophants! You people have been dropped by a cheap con man!! And don’t you think that if all of these public servants thought that trump was bad for America. That their might be something to it?? Not saying they did. But that is what y’all say happened! And why just Trump? They never did it before!!!

    2. @science wins “clean the swamp” only a working Theory; maybe! Trump is the “bad hombre” Democrats say he is Virginia giuffre worked at Trump Resorts after all, Trump worked with the FBI and the doj back in the 90s on that case from what I understand there was not only full cooperation but any assistance or service he could offer, to my understanding once you have become an FBI informant well, it’s kind of like feeding a dog they’ll keep coming back.
      Did high-level officials with previous positive experiences with Trump (that saw corruption and treason) in the interest of continuity of government “Shanghai” Trump into a presidency? I don’t know, it’s a Theory, a guess,, it would explain a lot, but at best a fuzzy hypothesis…. grain of salt type stuff.

    3. @Paw Claw 🤣😂 Stupidity is more contagious than covid19. I’d see a doctor right away if I were you.

    4. @Molly Brown Sometimes things are exactly what they seem to be! No deep dark conspiracy theories! Just a pathological lying con man that fooled half the nation! Because he was WHITE and hated the 1st black president! It has been interesting! And I must say I respect you for not being a typical Trump supporter. Most would have called me every name in the book by now! And you did not go down that path! KUDOS!! BEST WISHES!!!

  6. I hope there’s a focus on Barr’s every move now. The same should be said of any moves in the military. It would be handy for trump not to do anything drastic in any way.

    1. @Minerva Lynch Thank you for your service. Wow ,.he’s becoming unhinged ,I mean hes the commander and chief of our military ,its a bit scary how much damage he can cause within the next 71 days.

  7. No arguments from the republican reps that won seats in this “stolen” election. The senator votes are legit but only the presidential votes are bogus?? FOH

    1. @G S whether Trump is a liar or not, his people believe him. And with regard of the election, go to Marco Rubio’s Twitter, 70 percent of republicans believe the election was not free and fair. Biden is not getting in the White House when so many people do not believe the results of the election, that problem is for Biden to deal with, and not Trump. If the Democrats had won without mail-in ballots we would not be here. You folks, have a big problem and the country cannot be united when half the people believe the election was stolen, a democracy is based on the losing side believing the election results. Trump will never hand over power as long as him and his people believe it was stolen, so you folks have a lot of selling to do before Biden even thinks about the White House.

    2. @Brandi C Trump has the Support of the American people and pretty much every Republican controlled institution. He is not finished by any means.

    3. @Callie Smith you are correct, Joe Biden’s career is marked by theft. From his illicit enrichment as a career politician to stealing the election. People like Biden belong in jail and not the White House and it would not surprise that is where he is heading next.

    1. We already have laws to prevent this. Laws mean nothing with corrupt, lawless lackeys in our highest government offices and roles breathlessly “interpreting” those laws in favor of a lawless fascist wanna be dictator.
      This is an attempted coup and it may well work. Hence tRump making a play for control of the military by firing Esper to install an obedient and also lawless servant in the role- like Barr, like DeJoy, like all the others.

    2. The government needs to make an example out of Trump so that one who’s actually competent will at least think twice next time before attempting to be a dictator.

    3. @Stef Alexandra if it’s as bad as you say to the point that 3+ states rigged it, then this will be the last election. No one will have faith in democracy and we’ll be a dictatorship.
