  1. Does anyone have any feelings to what it is like to live in a country in God we trust where there is no God or Constitution to sow your seed with? Welcome to America it used to be a democracy who the hell knows what it is today?

    1. trail mark Trying to wear us down and distract and confuse? Part of the new-wave of bots and trolls, eh? Ain’t working, Idiot.

  2. In Trump’s second book, Surviving at the Top (released as Trump’s empire was crumbling under massive debt in 1990), he described his temperament in ways that wouldn’t seem to bode well for America.

    “I get bored too easily,” he wrote. “My attention span is short and probably my least favorite thing to do is to maintain the status quo. Instead of being content when everything is going fine, I start getting impatient and irritable.”

    This is Trump openly admitting to being an agent of chaos and destruction. Placing an extreme narcissistic sociopath like Trump into any position of leadership, where his actions will have a direct affect on people’s lives, constitutes a criminal act. Nothing good has ever resulted from anything that Trump has ever touched or been involved with. He is void of any and all goodwill or human decency. He is a purely toxic, insidious and malevolent being, who constitutes a malignant affliction on this country.

    The safety and national security of America should have never been placed into  the hands of a mentally impaired and emotionally unstable demagogue, who will take a wrecking ball to anything, simply because he was bored.

    1. Show me the money! Or at least follow it by: showing his tax returns, and Deutsche Bank records, and ties to Putin, and Saudi Arabia, and…They all bought trump.

    2. @uncle Ricky ..really!…..you Dump lover or his accountant……you seen his tax return…..how do you know and is a fact? wake up with your brain in place………or no more brain left

    1. @HemiHead664 lol I also liked your comment because idc. I stop letting insults bother me after high school. 🤷‍♀️

    2. @Arise Arise I’m from Florida dude. 😂 I still don’t understand the paranoia you guys have with Russia. But it’s cute.

  3. I seriously don’t understand why it is so hard to stand up there and say, the president is wrong, the pandemic is real and you need to do this. These doctors have spent their lives becoming who they are so why do they allow their legacies be destroyed by Trump? Troye’s here because she did the right thing.

    1. I totally agree with you!!! I just don’t get why they are so afraid of going against the person who is clearly breaking the law, even thought it is the president. Yes, she is a hero but where the f**k are the rest of the republicans who know what is going on is ALL wrong. Thanks to M’s. TRoye and Cindy McCain for coming forward and stating country before party, and I’m a Canadian. And I also love Olivia’s RBG neckpiece

    2. I agree,all these career people who should have told off Trump alot sooner,knowing that he is an incompetent fool.I mean ,all these talented people could easily get jobs elsewhere without sucking up to a moron.It is an honor to serve your country and the President,but under Trump,if you agree with him,it is a disgrace.

  4. She is a hero. She is amazing. I command her for standing up and telling the truth and speak up against the President of the United States. More people will be coming out.

    1. @joyce roberts I’m a wait and see person on this one. I’ve hunted for Republican heroes for a long damn time and they are so far and few between. 90% of these people are somewhere on the scum scale. Some less than others, which is what I suspect here.

    2. @Jon Bonez I’m old enough to to remember a lot of Republicans, I’m not a republican, btw, and John McCain is the only one I can come up with, both in service to his country and the thumbs down voting. They have totally disappeared in the last 4 years and to me it’s as clear as day.

    3. She’s not mincing her words, exposing herself to all repercussions. Most of the higher-ups are vague or say nothing. I’d say that’s very brave, maybe heroic.

    1. @HippiiChick Hippies wouldnt like Trump. He condones political violence here in America and wants to suppress our right to vote. He supports anti-abortion views and appointed at least one homophobic Supreme Court Justice. He also supports police who assault protesters and journalists. He objectifies women and brags about sexual assault. He is blatantly racist and wants to wall up the southern border to keep brown people out. He is fighting to take away protections formpre-existing conditions. He says everyone that doesnt agree with him hates our country while also defending monuments of traitors who killed Americans for the right to own people as property.

      He openly stated his desire to toss out the ballot and maintain power for longer than our constitution allows. So yeah, I don’t believe hippies would actually support Trump.

    2. HippiiChick Just curious about your financial situation. Can you afford to pay all your medical bills out of pocket? Are you wealthy enough to not need social security??? Are you somehow protected from getting COVID-19? Got any family or close friends that could be affected by any of this? There are a lot of us that have concerns about these things. Some of us also believe that the constitution should be abided by a sitting president. Most law abiding people do not like being lied to or cheated by a sitting president. Most of us know we need our allies to stand with us. Most of us do not want a Putin wannabe for a president. Your flippant comments are juvenile and devoid of anything that resembles serious human decency.

    3. @HippiiChick Trump increased the bombing in Afghanistan 6 fold over Bush or Obama. He pulled our troops out of Syria and sent them to Saudi Arabia. Trump increased our military foot print.
      Those are not “peace deals”. Those are business agreements between Arab countries and Israel. But America had to promise to sell F35’s to those Arab countries. We do not want them to have that tech, but Trump is stupid.
      So maybe you should do a little research before embarrassing yourself.

  5. It’s no wonder that former Trump administration officials and supporters are bailing out and spilling the beans on what an dysfunctional and criminal administration this is… They need to have medals awarded to them.

  6. Olivia Troye is a true hero for sacrificing her potential future job prospects by deciding to tell the truth about this horrendous president. I don’t know quite what it takes to help people who are in a cult to begin to see the truth but Olivia’s testimony must be reaching at least some of them.

    1. WTF are you talking about? . She’ll make a bucket load from a book deal just like all the other deceitful opportunists who have have sone loose connection to Trump

    2. Dorian Shades You prefer to not know what is actually going on behind closed doors. I always ask “be specific.” That shuts up a lot of 45s butt kissers.

  7. Over the last 3 and a half years, Trump has said 5 times that he will negotiate (to quote one iof the most recent) or extend his reign to a third term, and a couple more remarks he made suggesting his kids take over after him….
    *America… if you do it wrong, this is your last election, make it count!*

    1. Really sad for dtrump supporter behind trump,said this people clapping hands for him disgasting 😪😪😭😭😭

    1. Of course science doesn’t know everything. However science is the tool we use to study & understand.
      Trump & his acolytes don’t know anything except how to fool the ignorant.

  8. Too many White House Employee’s with intimate knowledge of what is happening behind closed doors and are speaking out… All can not be wrong.
    Their narrative is the same.
    High credit for those speaking out.
    Let’s hope high credit can be given to those who listen and take action against the American President who will be remembered as the most culpable, immoral, corrupt man who divided and destroyed a nation and destabilised the World.

  9. This young lady gained nothing asked for nothing and wanted nothing!! I 100% believe her and she was in the room!Trump will destroy all of you!😠

    1. Toni Coffee@ thanks for this. It’s terribly difficult for Olivia T. Just extremely difficult. But, her experience mirrors others working with Trump. But, she’s right. This pandemic isn’t going away. Trump acts like he will never get sick. Can happen to anyone. Governors are getting this virus. Gosh. It’s just wild.

    2. She was fired way before doing the interview circuit. Look up what her former co-workers say about her from the Obama years. Then you can be embarrassed that you trusted your flawed first impression. Heh heh

    3. She was put in by the Obama admin. And what do you mean she hasn’t gained anything? Shes not being interviewed on MSM in front of millions? Being held up as a hero by the “resistance”. I hate Trump but please dont let these people manipulate you with emotions. Demand PROOF!

  10. Did anyone notice the Wisconsin spike in the virus today? Oh yeah, Wisconsin had a Republican rally (without masks) about a week ago.

    1. Wisconsin had this mostly under control, but then the WI Tavern League sued the governor and the right wing state supreme court said “let’s open her up”. Now it’s a freaking mess.

    2. I’d democrats had all these rallys without masks you wouldn’t hear the end of it!! watch every rally the messiah holds and wait 2 or 3 weeks the stats go up..

    3. @Larry L
      i guess its because they’re not as stupid as the trumptards and look at all the old folks wanna taste a ventilator with their last breathes.
      good on them.

    1. That statement and the “it’s a shame” response to the now more than 200,000 cases more than anything else show us what an unfeeling monster our President truly is. Does anyone else themselves what we did to deserve this?

  11. “Ex-Pence aide details task force struggles with White House” thereby re-affirming that #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 fellow American voters according tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” on Nov 3rd by overwhelmingly voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica.
