    1. @HappyListener50 maybe Trump is listening to the media and following their lead . He must say to himself , “I’m all they talk about , I must be important “.

    1. Spoken like a true HATEFUL ā„ļø… great job showing your true colors ma’am! Do you have the same feelings for your peaceful brothers and sisters that were looting, robbing, stealing, burning and killing folks hand in hand by the thousands? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Trump 2020

    2. Same opportunity, are you serious ā„ļø? Why is ok for blacks to score much lower on their SAT score but still get into TOP and small colleges all over this country just because their BLACK over whites and asians that scored higher šŸ¤”??? Are you ok with that? Sounds like pity to me and it seems lots of folks eat it upā„ļøšŸ˜ƒšŸ˜šŸ˜†šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£. Folks like yourself scream for equal treatment but are you ready for equal treatment? Because if you are thousands of blacks WOULDN’T GET INTO COLLEGE ON THEIR SAT SCORE AND THAT’S A FACT Veronica are you ready for that? Time for you to stop blaming everyone for your failures Veronica. If you want it earn it!!

  1. Trump lied and Americans died. The Republican playbook; lie, deceive, divert, distract, divide, change the subject, play victim, blame, scapegoat, obstruct, project their own hang ups, give strawman arguments to get out of answering the real questions, take credit for others work, self congratulate constantly, gaslight, project their own insecurities, deflect reasonable questions, fearmonger, and have an arrogant conversation about religion if they are the moral leaders when in fact the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade was a Republican appointed court. Nationalism is on the rise due to the radical rhetoric Trump uses. Trump provokes violence by his reckless use of language and his cavalier attitude. He summons the worst in people by pandering to their insecurities and fears. Republicans blame the poor for the bad management and the economic shortfall that the government has caused. They first find a easy target such as the poor, the weak and the disenfranchized. Now the Republican leadership wants your Social Security money to balance the budget, but all the tax cuts added trillions to the debt were supposed to pay for themselves. The Republicans objectify the poor and disenfranchized by dehumanizing them, so they can justify homelessness and take away safety nets. Republicans do this to the poor for the sake of tax cuts for the wealthy. Tax cuts for the wealthy are ruining America, but they lie about this too. Wake up, businesses are in business to create profits not hire people. Also, the Republicans use voter suppression to stay in power. Since when is it patriotic to fly another flag other than the stars and stripes? I’m talking about flying and displaying the Confederate flag. Also, when is it patriotic to say Nazi’s and the KKK are very fine people? This Republican party is the face of hate. Inculcating and indoctrination into hate, is the best way to describe this new Republican party of Trump. We see all of this. Trump is ruining America and dividing us. Listen to him, he is like a petulant child. Now he is turning into a facist tyrant. After all that Republicans use the media for the propaganda they spew. Any news outlet that calls him out he maligns, calls, fake news, or trys to destroy the individual. All the while maligning the true experts that don’t agree with there ideology. He knew that the Covid virus was real and called it fake news, instead offering good leadership he played the pandemic down to pander to his base for re-election, because that is all he cares about. This comes from a fed up Veteran. He called soldiers suckers and losers. Trump is a draft dodging sycophant and Trump when needed will play the victim when necessary. In other words you got conned by Don.

    1. Trump’s own brother died during this pandemic. I’m not saying it was Covid, we’ll never know that for sure, but it would be sad to think he might’ve lost his life due to his own brother’s vile deceit.

    2. @Dawn Kuzio You have mistakenly ended up in a cult.
      Get out, and run for your life. It has become a death cult.

  2. ā€œTo call out Chssshinaaaā€™s lack of transparencyā€ I just now realized ā€œChshyyneeaaaā€ is code for Trumpty Dumbty. Got it.

  3. I just came here from Fox News YouTube channel and they disabled their comments. I think itā€™s because they know itā€™s not a good time for them right now.

    1. Paragon Innovations Amish no muzzles no tell lie vision no liars telling us to wear a muzzle , you people are being lied to,

    2. @Gary FumeauxHe is an internal medicine physician who has no education of any sort dealing with viruses.
      Why would you listen to a quack who believes in “natural” healing and promotes massive doses of Vitamin C for covid prevention with no epidemiological support?
      Fool.
      NRN EOD

    3. @rolback No. that’s because you losers spend all your time trash talking on YouTube videos and Biden would have to take responsibility for promoting your racist propaganda if they didn’t stop it.

    1. @Donny Boon Absolutely, orange man show’s his “competence” every time he opens his mouth.
      His core competency is selling out the middle n lower classes and enriching himself and his friends.

    3. @Donny Boon What records? You mean like Trump having the most criminally convicted administration in history? Those sorts of records?

      CNN chief Jeff Zucker is heard praising Donald Trump, calling him ā€œThe Boss,ā€ in a conversation with ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. Shockingly, he goes on to give Cohen political advice in how Trump should get through the CNN debate in 2016.

      Just remember who is ā€œthe bossā€ – this is where you get your information ā„¹ļø

      KAMALA HARRISā€™S HUSBANDā€™S FIRM, DLA PIPER, CONSULTS ON BEHALF OF A BEVY OF CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY-OWNED COMPANIES AND EMPLOYS FORMER CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS.

      https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/harris-husband-ccp/

      DLA Piper is a multinational law firm that says it has 30 years of experience in China, with more than 140 attorneys dedicated to its ā€œChina Investment Servicesā€ branch.
      Douglas Emhoff, Vice-Presidential nominee Kamala Harrisā€™ husband, has served as a partner in DLA Piperā€™sĀ Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017.
      The firm says it has ā€œlong-established and embedded ā€˜China Desksā€™ in both the U.S. and Europeā€ to assist China-focused consulting, among other initiatives.
      DLA also employs a bevy of former Chinese Communist Party officials, and has received countless prestigious awards from Chinese business and law groups.

      China Struggle sessions look familiar?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session
      A struggle session was a form of public humiliation and torture that was used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at various times in the Mao era, particularly years immediately before and after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and during the Cultural Revolution. The aim of a struggle session was to shape public opinion and humiliate, persecute, or execute political rivals and those deemed class enemies.

      #walkaway question what youā€™ve been told.

    1. @RavenPoe I agree with the first part, but at what point does the Government go to far in restricting peaceful assemblies?

    2. @Sheri Lynn Pontillo Once again, a brainwashed liberal who has nothing of any substance to offer to the conversation. It’s people like you that make me sick to my stomach. At least bring some facts to the table to support your position or else just keep your mouth closed.

    3. Ahahahahaha! We will take our chances. Were not cowards like the libtards. Ahahahahah, I would be so embarrased to be a libtard.

    4. @RavenPoe You have a right to not become infected with Covid? Exactly what is that right and where is it located?

      Life is tough- better get used to it

  4. Tell the Donald to go and shake hands and hugs his unmasked supporters for 2 hours.
    They love him and he should live them back!

      #walkaway question what youā€™ve been told.

    2. @Adam Geiger interesting didn’t see anything about Trump and Melania standing with Epstein and the clintons at Trump’s wedding. Pictures are available.

    3. THE SILENT WAR CONTINUES!!!!LOL!! IT’S SHOCKING!! I LOVE HONEST PEOPLE!GENERAL FLYN,BARR,PAMPEO,ROGER STONE,AND VP PENCE …THEY STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH THE WHITE HATS!! YOU WILL ENDED THANKING THEM AND OUR PRESIDENT..BLM EXIST EVERY 4 YEARS ELECTION TIME!!!

  5. I’m very far away from the fools gathered together cheering at my feet.
    no No NO I’m not responsible if any of those fools get Covid19…

    AND DIE!

    1. YouTube and Google is participating in heavy censorship, and has started censoring me. Hope it doesnā€™t happen to you and you will also see your 1st amendment right slipping.
      Iā€™ve realized no matter what, a lot of the people on the left just really hate donald trump so much, that there is no convincing them. It makes me pretty sad because I really love this country, and I see how strong we would be if we all stood together against the lies and the corruption.
      But weā€™ve been represented by these politicians who donā€™t mind spreading fear and lies, and taking tax payers money and subsidizing enterprise and war and trade treaties that exploit other countries, and also ourselves because we are not the beneficiaries even.

      I just donā€™t understand how you could vote for someone like Biden, and Kamala- their records, and all the billionaires standing behind them.
      And now you all are a mob, and anything anyone says you call them a ā€œRussian botā€, or ā€œPutin trollā€ or ā€œidiot, or ā€œlow IQā€ –
      But I just donā€™t know why you are attacking me? Donā€™t we all want to protect our rights? Donā€™t we all want to protect other people?
      Why canā€™t I point out these scandals at the hands of our previous politicians without being threatened?
      What happens when I speak online and someone finds my address, or stalks or cyber bullies me or someone I care about? Can I defend myself, will I be put in jail for life and have an angry mob damning me?

      I see the only two options being presented are either participate in the destruction of our country, or be complacent. But I want to pick the 3rd option, to live righteously with my integrity and my morals and values.

      Can you please help me and others do that?
      #walkaway

    2. @Adam Geiger I am with you. Donald needs to go so does Biden and Harris. We need to vote into office the 3rd Party. A group of people that owe nothing to anyone. That only want what is best for all Americans. My morals and values and my integrity will not be bought nor will it be bullied into accepting lowering the bar of what a President of the USA and a member of Congress should be.

    1. @MrUHTiger I’m inclined to ask the same question: Does Adam Geiger have a job? It’s relevant because if he does, he may not even understand what devastation Trump’s virus is having on other citizens. BTW, do YOU have a job?

    2. James Peter itā€™s not gonna happened under these two partyā€™s there needs to be another party thatā€™s for the people and not the industrialists, Wall
      Street or anybody outside the government walls…. Bernie could have beat Trump and the Army Officer from Hawaii she was one I thought who could change the world for the good.

    3. Yes, I agree that the original poster is exaggerating. It’s not wearing a Gucci, it’s wearing a George’s or Sam’s Choice or Time and Tru.

    1. Joe Biden loves China and agreed to give our country to them for 1.5 Billion dollars. There is soooooo much proof. If you vote for Bidin than you are mentally ill.

    2. @Joe Biden will impose forced vaccinations on you says the man who believes a man who lies 22,000 times …hahahahahahaha

    3. @Bionic man seems to me like it’s the democrat supporters out here murdering people then blaming someone else because dems can’t take responsibility for their own actions

    1. Whats deadly is all the rioting and looting by the BLM liberals! You know what I mean guys?

    2. @Joe Biden will impose forced vaccinations on you No. this is TRUMP’S America. I haven’t seen Biden support violence even once, but Trump willingly, knowingly, and systematically used Covid like a weapon of mass destruction against his own people, 200,000 dead is worse than anything BLM has done. HOW DARE YOU? Can you not count? 200,000 dead from a virus, how many of them were potentially unnecessary deaths had Trump simply even got just his own people to wear masks? Trump did what amounts to over a hundred 9/11s. WHERE IS YOUR PATRIOTISM NOW????

    3. @Joe Biden will impose forced vaccinations on you ABC-Ipsos poll:

      Who has more respect for the U.S. military?

      Joe Biden 61%
      Donald Trump 37%

    4. @Patrick Bullard Ahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahah! ABC POLLS!!! Stop it! LOL
