    1. Democratic Governors have shut down their economies with glee. They’ve ignored the changing science in order to keep them locked down. At the same time they’ve incited violence and hatred in the streets. Used their power to release violent rioters without charge so they can continue rioting. No matter how much damage they do or lives they destroy. They do this because they don’t see themselves as being accountable for their actions. They think only Trump is accountable for their actions. They have a blank check to abuse their constituents in whatever way is politically expedient for them.

    2. Johanne Seay I see you graduated the Bernard Sanders School of failed economic understanding.Millions of Americans
      invest and are vested in the stock market,retirement,city,state,country,unions,pension funds are all in the stock and bonds,The purpose is to
      make money and increase growth thus creating wealth.Im sorry you feel so oppressed but my advise would be to
      quit crying and work harder.They will let you invest in the market someday.

  1. TF! What slavery is he comparing this to? Was there a slavery where those enslaved had a choice to be a slave or not?

    1. Bryan B they still believe he did it, even though he wasn’t indicted or impeached for it. They also love to say “they indicted multiple Trump associates” even though the indictments were not even Russia related, it was things they did in the past. Way before Trump ran for office. They also don’t seem to know about the Durham Investigation… because Trump and his administration don’t leak things (Adam schiff, this is to you).

    2. Right now this is definitely a form of slavery. A business that took you years to set up, thrown out the window in an instant because the government told you you have to shut it down.

    3. @Michael williamson Literally speaking I know there are similarities, but it’s not the same, and there’s no doubt both or inhumane and wrong.

    4. @Bryan B Look I’m not gonna have a back and forth with you on this issue the facts are clear, Fox News (Propaganda Network) stands for nothing other than to spread fake news, and please Trump and his ego, and when they fail to do so the President himself turns on them and calls them Fake News!

    5. Josh Dun how are they not the same? And I agree both are horrible and should never have happened or happen again, ever. I’m just asking, I’m sorry you mistook my comment as I’m trying to make one look worse than the other

  2. Where do we find such evil? Clearly panicked about rhe coming election, desperation is driving this evil man to even darker depths.

    1. @nick smithThe lockdowns are difficult, but they are in no way comparable to chattel slavery, segregation, internment camps, Mccarthyism.

    2. @Ky Fallon yeah they are. he was talking about civil liberties. He was right. the government took away peoples right to make a living.

    1. Wuhan military grade bio weapon design statements released in 2015 with patent serial numbers funded by Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates. Fauci Gates along with Obama gave millions to help design the virus which is being used to destabilize economies around the world to usher in the NWO.

    1. @Evil Black Cat but it does give them the right to store and surveil all your personal info that u didn’t give your permission

    2. Wuhan military grade bio weapon design statements released in 2015 with patent serial numbers funded by Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates. Fauci Gates along with Obama gave millions to help design the virus which is being used to destabilize economies around the world to usher in the NWO.

    3. Youngstown529 now, now team coco lover. That was unkind and unnecessary. You should adjust your privacy settings, just being nice

    4. Bubbles you lost all credibility in the first few words. WUHAN never HAD any military grade bio weapons in 2015. You’re a Russian troll and if you’re not a Russian troll, please go to Russia. We have enough problems without adding comments from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about

    5. Though the Patriot Act applies to all US inhabitants, its execution is selective to the degree of single individuals and it requires authorization for execution. Lockdown has been a broad brush and has been over applied due its intended nature of “better safe than sorry.” Not saying that it was not necessary or well executed for an unprecedented event. It is about time we learned what we did right and wrong from the lockdown.
      Anyhow Patriot Act is a fail comparison.

  3. “… in the grip of a sporadic pattern of irrationality …”. I never had heard a more tasteful and refined way to say “fascism”.

    1. @Bubbles WTF was all that? I’m writing a regex to try to parse human meaning from that random arrange of words. LMAO.

  4. Hmmm. “A different kind of restraint.”

    What sort of mind would say something like that? Disgusted once again.

    1. @j m That’s because mental retardation has a Liberal bias. Seriously, they’re so insanely stupid and incapable of basic cognitive function, that it’s distressing that our species has fallen so far, thanks to them.

    2. one that understands language like nutty libs do not? Maybe you can redefine restraint to make him wrong like you’ve redefined marriage and racism and so many other words.

  5. No, trump’s personal getaway driver is hugely incorrect, as usual, sending out unidentified jackboot agents to quell protests is far more an intrusion on civil liberties, having Layafette Sq violently cleared of protestors so his fascist autocrat boss could do his best dictator strut to a church he never attends holding a book he’s never read for the most gratuitous hypocritical 3rd world despot photo op ever witnessed in a western nation qualifies as the greatest intrusion on civil liberties “other then slavery”. We’re literally watching a democratic republic be dissected in real time, they are doing everything in their power, legal, moral or not, to install this bizarre trump branded Nth Korean style dynasty.
    It’s do or die this November, another 4 years will see them strip any and all remaining mechanisms for fair and balanced democratic elections, it’ll be one trump after another for decades, I’d expect to see golden statues and building size portraits of trump in the not too distant future, and if you think that’s far fetched, go read up on nations that have collapsed into autocracy and dictatorship.

  6. Fred Flintstone was hired to keep that fried mango, his family, friends and his cabinet of criminals out of prison. He has destroyed the DOJ & he needs to be disbarred & charged.

    1. Actually it’s the exact opposite. He is going to try and convict members of the Obama administration for their treasonous plot to remove President Trump. He will expose James Comey and John Brennan for the treasonous plan they followed through on, but failed at; a soft coup.
      There’s PROOF! Just you wait and see.
      Bill Barr will go down in history as one of the most important Patriots that saved America from the deep state/NWO!
      You democrats are just blinded to the truth because you hate Trump so much!
      Think of that; the party that claims to be about love and inclusivity is literally blinded by HATE.
      Open your heart enough to really examine the facts and you will be able to see that the democrat party has changed and is no longer FOR the little guy, and now just takes advantage of your blind allegiance to what the party USED to be.
      The deep state as co-oped the dnc. It’s OWNED by the NWO and is now they are not for Americans they are working for their overlord, george soros.
      Blindly clinging to ‘orange man bad’ ideology, letting that hate stop you from even SEEKING the truth, just believing what the news says, is doing yourself and America a disservice.
      I know President Trump is abrasive, annoying, childish, boorish, and easy to hate, but please understand there is another level to what’s happening on this earth. Money has corrupted politics and some really bad, rich people want to takeover America and the world.
      Biden, harris, and the whole democratic party are CORRUPT to the core and that’s why we can’t let them win.

    2. 3c ranch Too bad this “evil plot” to remove trump didn’t succeed. He should have never had a chance from the start.

    3. Bryan B No one has to prove anything to you. You’re not that important enough to waste that much energy on. Besides, orange man put it out there himself. You just willingly refuse to or too stupidly brainwashed to see it.

    4. @Darque Queen You can’t prove it because there is are no crimes and there is no evidence. You refuse to accept reality. Trump 2020 MAGAA!
      It’s hilarious that you nutty libs always have to resort to the childish argument like if I have to tell you you wouldn’t understand it or it’s not worth my time.
      Well back on you a million times plus infinity!

    1. Bruce Lee “I don’t want my children growing up in a jungle, a racial jungle.” -Joe Biden, 1977.
      “If you can’t decide between me or Trump then you ain’t black” also Joe Biden, 2020.

      In 1986, Donald Trump was awarded the Ellis island Medal of Honor. This award celebrated “patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood, and diversity.”

      A white supremacist would never date a black woman for two years. A white supremacist would never be awarded the Ellis island Medal of Honor.

      A white supremacist would never be friends with a black American, nor would a white supremacist EVER let their children sit on the lap or go anywhere with a black American. Hershel Walker is a close friend of President Trump. He’s also black. A white supremacist would NEVER let a black man take their kids to Disney world. With or without him (Trump) being there.

    1. Joe Biden will impose forced vaccinations on you lmao i work 70 hours up to 90 hours a week. I’d have been happy to have been able to sit at home. I pay for a house I might sleep in 3 days a month. Please take my freedom.

    1. We’re in better shape than I thought we’d be despite what democrat officials are continuing to try to do to their people and economies.
