  1. Criminal Indictments by Administration

    Donald Trump (so far) — 215
    Richard Nixon — 76
    George W. Bush — 16
    Bill Clinton — 2
    Jimmy Carter — 1
    Barack Obama — 0

    1. @A Krenwinkle, and you know this how? Sources please, or otherwise you’re just trying to be a superspreader of misinformation.

    2. What “this” do you mean? That Hillary’s IT person, assistants, even her own lawyer were given immunity by the FBI? That Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on a tarmac while his wife was being investigated? Don’t blame me if you haven’t been paying attention. It was on the news every night. It’s on the internet too, but you’d have to do the unthinkable: read.

    3. @L F I refuse to buy into “my candidate is honest and yours isn’t “ mentality but I can assure you Biden is taxing us all into the dirt especially to cover “free” healthcare to 11 million illegal immigrants , my heart and my vote will always be for the working middle class

    4. @A Krenwinkle, so you want me to go chasing after some Hillary Clinton conspiracy? Can you, at least, tell me what news Channel you watch, or what internet pages you visit? I’m calling you out for your misinformation and you know it. Prove me wrong, please.

  2. America is

    23 in education.
    37 in healthcare.
    34 in raising family index.
    No high-speed train.
    Highest number of homeless people.
    Highest number of incarcerated people.
    78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.

    Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.

    Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.

    I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!

    Let’s make our country better together… . . . . .

    1. With all those horrible numbers still all the residents of the S hole countries still flock to the USA .
      I wonder why

  3. *_In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has attempted to have only one drop box per county! He tried but failed to make voting from your car only for disabled, and a federal crime if not disabled. The ballot itself does not allow voting straight ticket, and thereby slows down the voting process. Texans are not going to stand for this abuse of power to suppress our vote. We;re gonna vote – Please Vote Blue._*

    1. @L F
      Um you falsely claim trump is a fascist and a dictator but you overlook the Dems totalitarian approach to politics as of late ya know like BLM/antifa. Oh and socialism is a BAD idea…

    2. @L F
      Well bud here’s good news for you , you do not have to like trump. You can vote how you want to 👍. But I believe trump is the better option.

  4. “We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump’s dangerous mental illness.”

    – Dr. John Gartner

    1. @Dave Schultz The e-mails were used in the 2016 election. Trump thinks they’re going to work a second time? Change the record orange one.

    2. @Dean M …lol… Yeah. Drumpf is really patriotic. He doesn’t even know the words to the national anthem. I like the way he sold out all american intelligence agencies in front of the world, in Helsinki. You know, when he told us about how Putin “was very strong and powerful in his denial.”… I like the way the president of the United States paid 750 dollars in income tax two years in a row…. Orange julius is quite the Patriot…

    2. Vote blue for the end of democracy. Vote blue for restricted speech. Vote blue to be “guilty until proven innocent”. Vote blue so to let criminals run amuck. Vote blue because… Because… Um “orange man bad” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
      Trump2020
      Gameoverbiden

    3. @jr goxy stupid. You have had blue for years and all this crap you are worried about never happened. No, we are going to get rid of the most corrupt president in US history. You Liar in Chief is toast in Nov.

    1. … I hope the humiliation actually affects him. Probably not. “Never in history has a president been treated so unfairly!”…

  5. Trump has done wonders for ignorance, his supporters can actually feel intelligent standing beside him. Joe Biden must improve public education.

    1. Public education has been systematically dismantled since 1981 for the sole purpose of dumbing down society. An ignorant population is easy to control and it is unfortunate that so many Americans are so willfully ignorant of even the most basic tenants of what should be common knowledge. Even worse, so many of these same people wear their ignorance as a badge of honor. The Palin family comes to mind.

  6. How can anyone with good conscience elect someone who lies about everything, incites violence and hate, breaks the law when the law doesn’t suit him and never apologized for mishandling the pandemic?

    1. @63 grand sport … Lol… You’re funny!… Did you ever hear the one about Jabba the Trump ignoring Putin putting bounties on American soldiers?… You hear the one about Orange Julius living on Russian money since the turn of the century?…

    2. @David Shields Quite true. That said, the real problem is coming, The Red Hat Army is prepping for conflict regardless of the outcome of the election. Which would be worse is anyone’s guess.

    3. Everything you said is exactly what Biden is a pure liar. He called Trump a xenophob for his china ban and your governor and mayor’s are as complicit In the failure’s to contain the virus. Joe Biden had lied about Trump on his Charlottesville comments on both sides. Trump said the neo Nazis and white nationalists should be totally condem. Biden ran for president in 1988 he lied about where he finished in his class and plagiarized his speech. He bowed out in disgrace. His son Hunter is a joke he made millions off of his dad’s political clout. Joe Biden and Obama handed billions to Iran that funded proxy wars that killed our troops. Obama/ Biden fast and furious scandal put guns in the hands of the cartels in mexico. Biden and Obama had 8 years to end institutional racism they had a black attorney general for 8 years and made zero progress. Thousands died in Chicago to gun violence during Obama/Biden more died there than Iraq. They had Obama in the white house a DEMOCRAT governor and two DEMOCRAT senators and mayor and yet the killing still continues. People are leaving liberal cities like crazy right now. They know they fail the people. Everything surrounded on there platform is based on triggered emotions from indoctrinated education. Feelings is not freedom.

  7. I can’t believe American VOTING. It should be compulsory, to begin with. Then this STUPID crap wouldn’t happen, create a better VOTING poll. Please

    1. That’s an interesting idea..
      yet what’s missing here is accountability.

      If you want to speak as an adult (in an adult conversation),
      please carry your true name, entrusted to you for that purpose..

      If we move into this world of anonymity..
      soon none of our voices will matter…
      I believe that is Putin’s ultimate goal,
      quiet dissent near and far –
      (IE Putin is only silencing US, to silence his own people).

      Farewell, look to raise the next –
      start with self_
      Dk

    2. @Devon Knobel both interesting ideas. Does Putin want us to post our home addresses tooo?

      ie. how much personal info is enough online?

  8. Jeff demonstrates for us, that even for comedic effect, it’s not possible to be louder and more interrupting than Donald Trump.

    1. Imagine Garlin and Larry David moderating trump’s town hall.
      And there’s no covid so they’ve got him surrounded and are shouting their questions directly into both ears
      😫🤯😫

  9. You really need the character Susie Greene to do this segment justice. Especially, as she rips apart the Bunker Baby with same purpose on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.

  10. I’m voting Biden but cmon if you’re stupid enough to place your ballot in a trash can then you shouldn’t be allowed to even vote for something this important 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂

    1. If you’re too afraid to step outside and vote in person you shouldn’t be able to vote either. There goes the majority of Democrats. Let’s call it a win.

  11. Trump has deliberately flouted science, social distancing and made a mockery of masks, refusing to wear a mask in situations where it was deemed necessary by hospital authorities and medical consultants.
    During the onset of COVID-19 Trump repeatedly lied to the American people about the severity of the virus, repeatedly thumbing his nose in the face of science with ridiculous pseudoscience claims that could potentially endanger others, over 200,000 American citizens are now dead with the numbers climbing due to his inaction.
    Statistics were not on Trumps side as he openly encouraged people to attend rallies without social distancing and other protective measures in place. He’s now tested positive with the all too real possibility that prior to diagnosis, of having spread the virus to countless others through his selfishness and willful ignorance of scientific evidence.
    Trump has brought this upon himself and he only has himself to blame due to his own arrogance and hubris. It’s not the past lies that is the issue, but the fact is; in the future everything Trump states will be suspect and questioned just like the words of Conley, his supposed “Doctor”, there is nothing transparent about that administration, the trust has long been destroyed and Pence helped drive the nail in the coffin of his Vice Presidential term. We need Biden and Harris to repair the damage done to our global reputation!
    Is another four years of chaos, lies and deception what we deserve as American Citizens? . . . . . .

    1. Aren’t Millennials people born in 2000? Then they would all be 20 years old this year. Not children but young adults!! The future is theirs and they need to vote!!!
