  1. Someone remind me again why America is considered one of the greatest countries in the world? You definitely used to be. Not so anymore. Open corruption, wilful ignorance and sheer stupidity. The title can no longer belong to you.

    1. Americans are constantly telling themselves that the US is the greatest country in the world. They’ve been resting on their laurels since the end of WWII. Reality hasn’t caught up with most of them yet.

    2. @Christine Colley That’s 100% ths truth now, im a u.s. citizen and I’ve seen this first hand. It’s saddening.

    3. @Christine Colley not me, I’m sitting in the woods on a lake in northern Minnesota, going to catch my lunch here in a little bit, the walleyes are biting. I could use a haircut. I look like my old pictures from the 70’s. We have to let the selfish people roam around we can’t stop them they don’t believe there is a virus. It’s all a government plot to grab their civil liberties. I have no immune system left, so this thing will more then likely get me before it’s over.

    4. @Al Einstein well, everything happens so fast now. Look, I dont wish anything bad on them. Quite the opposite. But things change.

    1. It will be interesting to see how history books talk about Trump and this pandemic……”The Trump Depression”

  2. Jared Kushner says that trump feels responsible, that’s laughable…Jared must have not been listening to his irresponsible father in law when he said->I don’t take responsibility at all. What a Circus Clown administration….

    1. @Mike Cash “The buck stops with Chyna.” C’mon, quit acting like Trump ever takes responsibility for ANYthing that goes wrong.

    2. @Byron Young You called Fauci a Russian agent. A few Questions Byron and answer truthfully. Only yes or no. In 2013 did Trump have Russian -Americans living in Trump Tower NY and they held illegal poker games and laundered $ 100 million? Did Trump stand on the world stage and yell. ” Hey! Russia if you are listening, can you find Hillary’s 30, 000 e- mails?” 5 hours later they were trying. Has Trump continuously praise Putin as a great man? And Did Trump while in Helsinki choose to believe Putin over our intelligence agencies? Fact: That makes Trump a traitor, because he betrayed our country by violating our long standing principle of protecting our elections. By Trump asking Russia to interfere in our elections. He literally became a traitor, because what he did could harm our country. Google or use a dictionary to see what a traitor is. Look up traitor. Please Byron don’t forget to answer the questions I asked honestly. They are Fact.

  3. The pandemic should not be a political issue, it isn’t in most countries because common sense and survival are important to most people.

    1. @Mike Cash You are correct in one fashion. In most industrialized countries, the people you describe as “leftist haters” would be considered “moderates” or even relatively conservative.

    2. @Greg Bors If you crazy dems ever “win” control of our country (because you all hate this country), I believe that, that result will end up in a civil war. We will never let you crazies to get control of, and demolish our country. We conservatives don’t usually respond to liberal attacks because we have too much to lose… it’s not worth it. BUT if you nut cases gain control, that would mean we are going to lose everything we have worked all of our lives for, so that cannot be allowed to happen. If you win, we all lose.

    3. @Mike Cash Please study the history of the United states. re: FDR pulled the nation out of the great depression by creating unprecedented public works projects. Bridges, dams, highways (which were finished by Eisenhower). Unions and regulating the monopolists caused the formation of the middle class. Prosperity existed for decades. Then the other bozo actor president undid all of it. Republican deregulation and breaking of the unions caused the wealth of the nation to go to the top 1%. That’s why you lost everything you worked for all your life. If you want it back, read up on the history of the US and start voting Dem. Then get back to me in a few years.

  4. We’re trapped in the tale of “The Donald Who Ducked Amerika (And Couldn’t Even Spill That!)”.

    1. @Rob Ceriani You are the only loser and probably always have been! Little big man like Trump 😖! You should be ashamed for destroying your Country and embarrisng all of us! You should be angry your fellow Americans no matter who are dying and it could of been prevented! Republicans are lost, off the map! 😵💙🙏 I hope noone close to dies because of your PRESIDENT!

    2. @Rob Ceriani First of all you did not answer my question about your SPECIOUS statement about Democrats’ >>>REQUIRING<<< a set number of abortions every week . NOBODY but NOBODY is actually advocating anything even close to that but you make it up and then expect to be taken seriously. Secondly people like you lose any interest in life you may have had after the actual birth then you say you are pro life and nothing could be further from the truth all you are is pro pregnancy. Untill you are prepared to make your arguments more honestly there is no point in engaging you.

  5. Just to let America know, New Zealand and Australia are opening up and people are going back to work because the citizens went into lock down. They didn’t have armed protesters trying to run down nurses in the streets, they didn’t carry on like spoilt children. No,the citizens in both countries were guided correctly by wonderful leadership. The leaders weren’t in a panic because they could hold rallies to tell their followers that they’d won any election…. the citizens kind of know that because each vote is a valued vote, plus they figured out the leaders were elected without being told hundreds of times. Nope, they just discussed it like grown ups with the citizens and everyone worked together. Now it’s on to the next big adventure for those countries. Oh… and back to work, the gym and the coffee shop. Yessss!

    1. @Se Ou what’s that got to do with anything? South Korea is older than everyone. Shuffle that thought and come back with a better answer.

    2. @Jeanne 54 That’s news from Sky…Fox little brother. Nothing to do with the topic I commented on.

    3. @Karen Silkwood stay with the conversation and read my answer after doing a better read of thread….think about that and try not to be impulsive.

  6. It’s amazing, a country who believes a TV personality, over a proven scientist with credentials. Proud to be American indeed…

    1. @jane hyden Which part is untrue, your response is too vague. I don’t just watch Fox. Do you just watch MSNBC?

    2. @Claire Wright Why am I not surprised that you don’t understand the burden of proof? [rhetorical]
      THINK, CLAIRE.
      Your first string of assertions was presented without citation. They can be dismissed without citation. How about you providing links to Fauci’s statements to support your assertions.

    3. @Claire Wright What you don’t understand is that when Fauci says something it is based on the best evidence they have at the time, when more evidence changes the pictures, they adjust their recommendations such as wearing masks. I understand it is hard for you illiterate Trumpanzees to understand how science works but listening to Trump who doesn’t understand how anything works is more than simple ignorance, it is alarming and complete stupidity.

  7. he wants you back to work because he doesn’t want to give any more money to taxpayers who are impacted

    1. @B reel boxing I’d rather collect my bag o’ beans and rice once a month than die for Wall Street.

    2. @B reel boxing We were in debt because while Obama had us on track to reduce the deficit down to nearly zero, if we followed some rules of fiscal responsibility, Trump’s tax cuts exploded the deficit. He cut taxes on the rich and corporations which destroyed our revenue stream and then borrowed even more money from China to make up the shortfall. If we’re in debt, well that’s all on Trump. He’s had three years to fix things and instead all he’s done is destroy all the progress we’d made in the last decade. Is he helping farmers and small business? No. He’s helping Wall Street and his corporate cronies. All his life he’s wanted a seat at the table with the richest and most powerful people in the world and he finally got it. But, it’s come at the expense of every single one of us. Unless you’re a billionaire, you have no reason to defend Trump.

    3. Me First Exactly!! He gave to rich & doesn’t give a darn if more Americans die,either by the virus or starving & homeless! He’s got to go,like yesterday!

    4. @Jean McGinnis who said he dont care about us americans..you and the rest of you haters andyour fake news..obama had 8 years and never gave a cut at all and took $1000 from the poor for not having health insurance..there is you dem scam

  8. More commentary needed from Mika!

    Joe’s commentary is great but he needs to stop talking over her.

    1. Mika has little to offer but scoffs and snide remarks. They need someone far more intelligent on that show. The sad fact is that Morning Joe is much better when both Joe and Mika are not there.

  9. The rest of the world is shaking their heads sadly at the USA, and Dr Fauci is probably getting job offers from everywhere except the white house.

    1. S Z Oh yes, your answer is so very satisfying to we Americans who scratch our head, and wonder the exact same thing. Thank you, take care and stay safe! 😊

    2. @Vee Cee i don’t like to hurt the feelings of you guys. But Trump is poison and a danger to the world. Stay safe. We need and rely on people like you.

    3. S Z Thank you, my great hope is that in November, all of us here who wish to see Trump gone vote in record numbers.

    4. I wonder how many decades it will take the rest of the world to treat the US as anything more than the joke it currently is.

  10. So our numbers are inflated but when asked about China, he says theirs are “deflated”? Isn’t this the SAME virus? Weren’t our measures less restrictive than theirs? We didn’t even act right away. Illogical.

    1. @Diedra Eskine
      Jesus loves you… no matter what you’ve done.
      I’ve done many wrong things, (I haven’t been a murderer or anything), but still I’ve done wrong things.
      Yet Jesus still loves me. Jesus loves sinners, and died for the sinners to be forgiven.
      Not only are we forgiven through Jesus, but by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5) This can be spiritually and physically.
      The last thing we need to do is be self righteous. We should admit we are spiritually sick, and in need of a physician. Jesus is the Great Physician. (Mark 2:17)
      Jesus died to save us from eternal death, (Romans 6:23), and give us eternal life
      (1 John 5:11).

      Romans 1:16
      Galatians 2:16
      John 3:16

  11. This man is the truth with regards to this virus 🦠.. vote blue because trump and republicans senate don’t care about you!!!

  12. Jared needs to put at least 40 hours on the floor of a meat processing plant and then he can talk.

  13. Re-opening prematurely is not the only solution to the suffering of the 30 million unemployed. Trump could do what every other rich country has done – provide an income while the lockdown lasts for those who’ve lost their jobs. Forcing people to risk their lives, forcing them to return to unsafe workplaces without adequate testing and no proper tracing regime is cruel and abusive – it’s treating them like serfs. The US is the richest nation on the planet. It can afford to fund its unemployed through the remaining lockdown. It just doesn’t want to.

    1. Well, maybe if Trump hadn’t slashed the Federal income to the bone with his tax cuts for the rich, we’d have plenty of money to do that. Or if he hadn’t allocated such a huge budget to our military. Maybe if he hadn’t been slashing social services left and right, we might have an actual response already in place. If he’d filled all the empty jobs in the government with competent people instead of political lackeys. Maybe if he’d shored up Obamacare instead of dismantling it. We could have universal healthcare in this country right now and an actual response to this pandemic and tens of thousands of lives could have been saved. Instead, we have Trump. Hanny, I like your solution, but I don’t think this government cares enough about us to do it.

    2. The issue is the idiology that Americans have been feed, anything of social security, social benefit, is considered as communism, and it’s bad. And that they’re exceptional and the best in the world. That kind of thinking is what explain the problems they’re having now

    3. I want to now what people mean when they say That the U.S. is the richest nation on the planet. I thought it was the biggest debtor nation.

  14. Each and every time jarred Jared opens his mouth, he puts his left foot right in it. No wonder he doesn’t talk. He is a complete pun deficient not only in intellectual capital but saturated with non sequitur. In business, we know that Nepotism can damage a business. It’s proven to be true in this reality show “administration”. This robot is another utterly unqualified material resulting from nepotism; He is the sixth pointless one.

    1. There is a reason his father went to jail and it’s obvious that Jared learned nothing from that.

  15. RED hats will continue to listen to morons like Tucker Carlson but Hannity is quiet now after risk of being sued.
