    1. @MrDong101 You’re the one crying about tolerance, crybaby. You trumphumpers operate on nothing but emotion. 😂😂

  1. This is why lifelong conservatives are turning on the GOP. Their cavalier treatment of the ordinary American, and their enthusiasm for conspiracy theories have turned them into a party I can probably never trust again.

    1. There is an ever-increasing likelihood that Trump and Trumpists will ultimately break away from the Repubs and form their own third party . . . if they do, the Republican party can actually start to rehabilitate and reform itself. As long as Trump is in control, they have no shot.

    1. We obviously have an attempt to overthrow our government. So who will garner the courage to tell the people that we just might have to fight; soon.

    1. @Nicholas Gonzales I’m not receiving a cent from the govt. You support a man that “partied” with Epstein. You’re a hypocrittical uneducated hillbilly. Blind to the facts. Oblivious to reality. How about you put on your big-boy pants and start acting like an adult. Trump is a one-term loser. A rascist, masogonist, xenophobic, sociopathic narcissist. But you keep drinking that cool-aid. DERP. 🥴🥴🥴🤦🏼‍♂️

  2. This turtle is miserable, we should all Americans protest so that he resigns, we urgently need a leader who has compassion who stands on the side of the people. it’s a disgusting human

    1. @Betty Berg The people if Kentucky are dragging down the rest of the Country by electing the Grim Reaper of bills over and over and over… The TREASON turtle has got to go.

    2. The most hated politician in the US won his re-election to the Senate in a landslide victory. He never supports agenda items that benefit his constituents, yet they keep voting him in. You can’t fix stupid.

  3. McConnell will try to just ignore bringing the $2,000 stimulus to the floor for a vote just like he’s ignoring the needs of the American people typical and ironic

    1. Just like Nancy Pelosi, right??
      America needs to flush ALL THESE so called politions…. Down the tube, they send us…

    2. Ignoring the needs of the American people? If the Democrats cared about the American people the $2000 dollars should have been in the bill in the first place. In fact if they cared more about the American people they could have easily doubled that had they not included so much pork barrel special interest crap in it for their big money foreign friends. More money
      in it for foreign countries than the American people. But that’s ok you all just keep believing the crap coming from MSNBC.

    3. @Wes Hawkins the democrats did have $2000 in the original bill but republicans wouldn’t accept it…go watch the full debate about the stimulus because all democrats asked for was the chance at a vote and all republicans cared about was getting liability protection for corporations so they can’t be sued if someone gets covid from being a worker or customer

    4. @Wes Hawkins that’s BS the Dems and Pelosi have asked for more about 2 trillion more just like they gave the corporations..every other country in the world played their citizens to stay home

    1. Trump only did one good thing in 4 years,he pulled back the curtain and showed us what these GOP senators are Really about,and they are UnAmerican traitors that must be accountable.

    1. @Maureen Peterson Those two Democrats win Georgia and we are going to see a whole new flurry of lawsuits alleging voter fraud. In the minds of these people a Republican has to win or it’s voter fraud.

  4. I’ve written to my senator Hawley that he is committing a crime under the influence of drugs that have diminished his intelligence, embarrassing the people of Missouri. (Those are three topics on his list of topics)

    1. He’s not even from Missouri, he lives in Virginia and is using his sister’s residence, so that’s something to be investigated on right there

    2. @Lonestar No way!! How do we prove that? That’s how to get him expelled from the Senate. We need to get an investigative reporter, with balls, on it and run the story everywhere!

    3. @Toni Aguilar go to the MSNBC YouTube, they talk him and Joy Reid mentions that he’s from Virginia

      Hopefully you can find the clip on the internet somewhere if you can’t find it on YouTube

    4. @Lonestar ok, I’ll look. Thx. People who live in Missouri are who will have the most standing to take action against him….and Senate itself.

    5. @Lonestar So nice of Virginia to send a guy to the people of Missouri to represent them in the Senate! Just how our democracy is supposed to work, isn’t it.

  5. His wife net worth alone is 30 million his net worth is 70 million together they are worth 100million. So why do he care if Americans eat

    1. the u. s. is, actually, ruled by 3 separate dictators. one in the whitehouse, and one in each chamber of congress. the “majority” leaders in each congressional chamber have absolute power to determine what and if ANY bill is voted on. that’s not a democracy, its a dictatorship – three, independent autocratic rulers in 2 branches of govt. it ain’t supposed to work this way but that’s how its workin.

    2. This is a stupid game, when Lincoln was elected there were Senators that did not want to acknowledge him and they were ejected as traitors. This iis an attack on the Constitution just like when they all signed the Texas Lawsuit. IN the Constitution It states traitors cannot hold a government position and what they did is exactly like what happened with Lincoln. Will you people act or America is going to turn on all of you.Pelosi and Schumer knows this and they can get rid of Mitch and 126 GOP members. Traitors cannot hold office. everyone read the constitution and then call all these fakes and tell them to do their jobs.WE Americans need to untie and stop this stupid game of theirs.

    3. its not fair man…not fair.. and all the idiots that vote these types of people INTO OFFICE, should be put down along with them, or at least have their voting rights taken away… (just like the biden voters…anyone who can’t make a decent decision who to vote fore, is a risk and should be voting.)

  6. The very minute this motion by Senator Holloway is rejected, the Homeland security should handcuff him and frog marched to nearest prison to await charges of sedition and insurgency.

    1. You’ve got 6 more years of McConnell regardless of what goes down in GA. He won his re-election in a landslide. The state with 10 of the poorest counties in the Top 20 Poorest Counties in the nation, and they just keep re-electing him. Poor people who consistently vote against their own interests, you can’t fix stupid…..it’s not that they don’t know he will screw them, they know full well and vote for him anyway.

    1. more than getting paid,…he is probably RICH AF… and wouldnt qualify for the stimulus anyways, so exactly HE DONT CARE… so lets just screw everyone who does qualify… he is a spittin image of a SCUM BAG POS that doesnt deserve to work for this country
