  1. 3 reasons Trump won’t Concede :
    1. He is milking his supporters till last drop.
    2. His Narcissistic Ego won’t let him admit Defeat.
    3. Afraid of going to Prison.

    1. @Espine That’s your prerogative. I love America, and the right to choose our own paths in life. Good luck to you.

    1. Flash 150, there’s a lot of stupid in this country. Over 74 million in fact and that was an INCREASE from 4 yrs ago!

  2. ATTN all Trumplicans: Most of those former Secretaries of Defense that signed the letter are Republicans. The ultimate RINO is the thug in the Oval Office.

    1. Let’s ignore a coup attempt happened on Nov 3 by joe Biden after he said I don’t need your votes to win…. I organized the greatest fraud in history….but let’s insult the intellectual capacity of our viewers and spin the situation onto Trump for the sedition treason and coup perpetrated by crooked joe biden…

    2. They-re just afraid swamp will continue to be drained allot of records were inappropriateky il classified under the Obama/Biden Administration that prevented transparency.

    3. @Not Ashamed of God or America amen brother. I don’t like Trump as a person, but his policies are way better than Biden’s, especially considering that he DID WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO. That’s called…not pathological lying!

    1. @ra5928 Thank you for that information. It offers a bit of a relief from this trepidation a lot of people are feeling right now. Thank you.

  3. I get the feeling that these former Defense Secretaries know something the public don’t. And we have an aircraft carrier unexpectedly ordered back to the middle east.

    1. @Puffin the US Gerald Ford is in the final phases of post-delivery test and trials, which will end in the spring, but its fully operational.

    2. @Yozhik He does not care that much about what Biden will have to deal with. He KNOWS he will very likely go to prison once he’s out of office, and his main goal is to avoid that. Country be damned.

    2. @JustSayNoToTV
      When was it great?
      “If I ran for president I would run as a republican because they believe anything”
      DJT and MMITCH and the whole host of Republicans know exactly what the mindset of this Republic stands for.

    3. @D Floyd But, you forgot to include the media. They play a very large part in delivering fake information to the public as well.

    1. @joboygbp so never read constitution hun , ignorance wont save you . Sorry it’s not fake evidence of treason. Imaliance clause means no help from other country’s like you supoort to your end. Right ?

    2. Let’s ignore a coup attempt happened on Nov 3 by joe Biden after he said I don’t need your votes to win….

    1. Yes and I immigrated from one over 30 years ago but I still remember it clearly. Beware fellow Americans. This guy has to end in an orange jumpsuit.

    2. @Hilton Palma Lima Trump always elude justice because he has sycophants who will sop at nothing to help him.

  4. Republicans scream “unfair”, yet they had no problem supporting Birtherism and WhiteWater. Hypocrites to the core.

    2. @1844junkercars exactly when did Biden say that because I did a search and found nothing, are you lying?

  5. Trumpites dont care what former defense secretaries say. A good portion of them don’t even know who these men are or what a defense secretary is.

    1. @joboygbp I love how Trump couldn’t bring himself to criticize Putin not one single time.
      And then Trump turns around and begs the president Xi of China to help him get reelected.
      Republicans are a sick joke.

    2. @joboygbp Vladimir Putin put a bounty on American soldiers two weeks later Donald Trump talks to Putin on the phone and didn’t even having the guts to ask him about it.
      Donald Trump is the most pathetic president in the history of this country.

    3. @Darryl Bloominton So you think it’s not smart to be on good terms with Russia? You do know that Russia is a military threat, right. So you must also think that China and Russia would prefer Trump over Biden because Trump is better for their countries; how? Trump is much smarter and shrewder than Dementia Joe. And Joe and his son Hunter already sold us out to China. What makes you think China doesn’t own Joe? Tony Bobulinski already testified to that and the FBI opened a money laundering case against the Biden’s in Baltimore. They took care of The Big Guy very nicely$$$

    4. @joboygbp So was that why when Vladimir Putin put a bounty on American soldiers Donald Trump was too scared to confront him about it.
      Is that also the reason why Donald Trump beg President Xi of China to help him get reelected.
      Trump’s new anthem: Find 11,780 votes.

    5. @Darryl Bloominton WTF are you a robot? Or are you stoned? Or drunk? You just asked me that question. I’m starting to have my doubts about you. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

    1. Ramona Hystad I wonder whether he cares about himself either? I feel for his young teenage son hearing and reading about his dad. What must be going through his mind?

    2. The children always pay , I’ve been on my own since I was 14 cause I couldn’t take the beatings anymore. I’M 59 now and my heart is only for children and animals

    3. Let’s ignore a coup attempt happened on Nov 3 by joe Biden after he said I don’t need your votes to win…. I organized the greatest fraud in history….but let’s insult the intellectual capacity of our viewers and spin the situation onto Trump for the sedition treason and coup perpetrated by crooked joe biden…

  6. “Chuck Hagel: Trump’s ‘Erratic, Irresponsible’ Actions Inspired Military Letter” reminding us, yet again, that #TooBadForCarrots #StandBackStandBy #DJT is “utterly incompetent” as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May #ImPOTUS45 always hear “You’re fired” via the unwavering reality of election results that reject him who is the cause of #MourningInAmerica.

  7. So we have the ONE TERM GUY WHINING about the Elections while the USELESS FIRST LADY says BE BEST while AMERICANS are STARVING

    1. Don’t forget the Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump who is supposed to advocate for women and children.

      You have heard NOTHING in 4 years about helping American women and children.

      Georgians vote BLUE 🗳 and DITCH MITCH.

  8. As a veteran and long serving DOD employee I applaud the Secretaries of Defense behind this letter and fully support them and our military and their great service to Democracy not Autocracy.

  9. I’m not confident at all. Trump and all congressman/senators also swear an oath to the constitution and look at the TREASON on display

    1. Better on display than hidden. That way we know where the b’strds are. Even if they go to ground they are no longer invisible.
