  1. Thank you, I’m tired of my way or the highway we all have to give in and work together. I understand I’m not always right and when I am my way may not be best for all.

    1. Actually I believe our present problems started after Ronald Reagan’s FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced. It has been this singular act that has really served to create these self-serving loudmouth talk radio personalities and their echo chambers that have divided the country.

    2. Jesus love brings people of all colours together. ! Everyday Is a gift from God. Every breath is a gift from God. How many truly live in gratitude to the Oxygen supplier?

      Teach us to number our days,
      that we may gain a heart of wisdom

      to know Jesus Christ is to live at peace because you know you have eternal insurance. In this world you will have trouble said Jesus Christ but take heed I’ve overcome the world. Looking unto Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross in during the shame and is now sat down and victory at the right hand of almighty God.

      JESUS IS VICTORY OVER DEATH. JESUS CHRIST IS PEACE IN THE STORM. JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

      do not be like the foolish man who built his house in the sand when the storm came and destroyed appear to be like the wise man who built his house on the rock when the storm came he endured. Jesus Christ is the only way to have in overcoming spirit.

    3. @Amelinda TOEIC sorry I do not understand his language and again off topic well I guess I shouldn’t say that he could be but from what I could read from the title and skipping through looked off topic

  2. Hey Fareed? In your interview with Kushner, why didn’t you follow up and ask him what the Palestinians got out of the deal?

    1. @Margaret Nicol just because I have argued you into a intellectual lose-lose dilemma? I’ll pick one if you go first. How come instead of using logic and debate you resort to calling someone a “troll”? That does not diminish my argument; it demonstrates the weakness of yours.

    2. @Stacey Ellis When you go in circles that makes you a troll. When you say ”intellectual” you are giving yourself too much credit.

    3. @Margaret Nicol let’s exclude the intelligence and just get an answer to my question; I will answer your Hobson’s Choice type question after if you want.

    5. @Hurricane Irma SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY!!! Thump is trying to destroy the Mental Healthcare that you so desperately need. Please seek help IMMEDIATELY or… you could post evidence of the allegations you are SPEWING?

      I thought so…

  3. Without self-serving loudmouth politicians pushing us to hate each other for their own benefit, we are quite capable of working out our differences, learning from each other, and joining forces to make things better for everyone.
    Who would have thought?

    1. @Miss Sissy thieves using explosives? BLM is organised and have identifiable members. Why not arrest them? I mean trump has had six of his associates arrested already on counts of cheap fraud and leis telling I don’t know how manage to leave with yourself. You decide on realities and stick to them. Since when do people suffering matter to you.

    2. @Zen Mate this is not a fringe Republican side but if you want to believe that, you go for it. Just take a look at the Democrats cities if you can’t figure out there in a mess right now that I can’t help you. New York City has lost 25% tax base because that’s how many people are running away from this Democrat City. Look at what’s happening to Chicago and every other Democrat City. And these rich people are taking their money with them to Republican cities

    3. @Miss Sissy I am quite well of most likely more than you but I don’t judge the health of my society based on how many millionaires there are. I don’t know what is wrong with you religious people. Selfishness drives your souls. You want to live forever and others will burn for eternity. And you know better so you want to help save others Sick!! I mean trump had a big opportunity to guarantee a win in this election for him. He should have called witnesses in the impeachment so they demonstrate the lies and coup attempt bey Democrats. Gee I wonder why he will not want his false accusers to be exposed on live TV

    4. @Zen Mate George Floyd should not have died but this was not a race crime. George and the cop worked together in a bar and knew each other. The cop that killed him was married to a non-white woman for more than a decade. Cop killed George because of his criminal record, not because of the colour of his skin. BLM picked the wrong poster boy.

  4. People in the States, no matter which party you’ re affiliated with. Sign up for the election and go vote. Your still fake Karen president will cheat you out of your vote if the margin is not wide enough for Joe Biden. DT´s desperate to stay in power. Not to do anything for America or for you. No, absolutely not.
    He’s broken so many laws he’s about to go to jail for decades. And he wants to do everything in his power to prevent that. Including electioneering. Take care of yourselves and your civil liberties. You want to know the real truth about TRUMP? Here it is if you dare! Please spread it permanently on all social media against Trump´s re-election!
    Save your state, all its citizens and the American freedom from Trump’s regime of hatred and his global disregard for all people. Go vote him out! It’s your last chance before the abyss!
    The renowned Mayo Clinic has clearly identified Trump’s problem: Borderline personality disorder … is a incurable mental health disorder that impacts the whole brain and so the way you think and feel about yourself and others, causing problems functioning in everyday life.
    It includes self-image issues, difficulty managing emotions and behavior, and a pattern of unstable relationships.
    With borderline personality disorder, you have an intense fear of abandonment or instability, and you may have difficulty tolerating being alone. Yet inappropriate anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you want to have loving and lasting relationships.
    Symptoms Borderline personality disorder affects how you feel about yourself, how you relate to others and how you behave. Signs and symptoms may include: An intense fear of abandonment, even going to extreme measures to avoid real or imagined separation or rejection A pattern of unstable intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn’t care enough or is cruel
    Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values, and seeing yourself as bad or as if you don’t exist at all Periods of stress-related paranoia and loss of contact with reality, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours Impulsive and risky behavior, such as gambling, reckless driving, unsafe sex, spending sprees, binge eating or drug abuse, or sabotaging success by suddenly quitting a good job or ending a positive relationship Suicidal threats or behavior or self-injury, often in response to fear of separation or rejection
    Wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense happiness, irritability, shame or anxiety ongoing feelings of emptiness Inappropriate, intense anger, such as frequently losing your temper, being sarcastic or bitter, or having physical fights with himself and all other humans in the world.

    1. @Joy Phillips Defunding the police is not what you think. It sounds worse than what it really is. Cities are not dissolving the entire department, they are only giving them enough funds to operate and nothing more. Police have the ability to generate their own money. There are already charities in existence before any talk of defunding them. Then police have Civil Asset Forfeiture. If you didn’t know police have been using this for decades and has generated billions. They seize your house, cars, boats, jewelry, etc. and sell it for profit. For you this will be good because now that police have to generate their own money, they are going to be more aggressive than ever. Your community could become more safer because of this so calm down. If you make a monthly donation to your police and always tip them off to someone you might think is breaking the law, they’ll be more present in your neighborhood. Just don’t become a Karen.

    2. @Puddles 59 Richard Spencer the leader of a white supremacy group has officially endorsed Joe Biden and the Democrat Party because he believes that their values are closely aligned with his. On a positive note, this white supremacy group has killed fewer black people than the BLM movement and burned down fewer homes and businesses than the BLM movement and unlike the BLM movement, they never beat up any priests or blinded any officers. So this is an improvement. Congratulations are in order.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    3. I don’t want to vote for Biden but he said I won’t be black unless I vote for him. Will I turn white after the election?

    1. @Desmond Paulse Trump stepped up and actually condemned the riots and then he asked every Democrat mayor and Governor if they needed support and they all said that they had the situation under control. Does this look like they have control of the situation? Impotent Democrat leadership.

    1. Joy Phillips give me five reasons to vote Trump. I’m genuinely interested. You can’t mention Obama or go on about Biden.

    2. Hannah Remmel Another reason. He’s consulted in economic sessions with congress for decades. His specialty was the housing markets (he predicted housing crashes also). He is good with adjusting and growing things, putting the right skilled people in place for the job and making sure things get done anyway anyhow (and he’s stubborn enough to push for things others won’t). He is who is he is, he’s human. He’s got a mouth but he also has sense to surround himself with a good well balanced team (Pence is his balance). He’s a new Yorker so you get what you see.

      Is he well versed in the smile and wave? No. But he’s well versed in global markets, economics and business dealings and getting things done. 500 global businesses, 6 bankruptcies only despite the volatile housing markets over the decades. That is a 99 percent success rate.

      Pre Corona the unemployment rate was a historical low.

      School choice vouchers, he pushed through for underfunded kids to get equal education until the opportunity zones builds the school systems up. So right away they get equal education they’ve been begging for 60 years.

      As far as the police brutality issue, 2 weeks of crying about it under Trump and he executive ordered a ban on the restraint that has killed many (that killed Eric carter back in 2014 as well and no policy was created that was promised.)

      He wants to do a good job and he doesn’t just talk he provides the action to back it up. If an issue arises to his attention, he’s fair about it.

      I think if democrats can fall back a bit to hear out the two year immigration reform plan, it would be life changing and if democrats get on board to help come up with realistic safe solutions for the kids trapped at the border, he’d be willing to listen and come up with policies.

      I think he just wants to do a good job for those who have faith in him….he’s not Mr congeniality and that’s okay his heart is there. He takes No paycheck. None. He works for free.

    3. “Poor kids are just as smart as white kids” Joe Biden

      This quote shows how Joe loves black people. Joe doesn’t look down on them he views them as equal. I think….

  5. “Judge somebody by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.” – Martin Luther King Junior

    1. @Yousavedbro Heaven Bound I think the point of the video was more along the lines of learning about other people’s issues rather than creating solutions for others with whom you have not first had a discussion with.

    2. Joe said I ain’t black unless I vote for him. Is this true? Is my skin color used to judge me? Also, will I turn white if I vote for Trump? I’m scared.

    3. If you vote selfishly with your wallet alone: Did you all know? Biden & Obama saved the economy, after Bush’s 2008 Banking Crash. He’s done it before, and he’ll do it again. Save the Republic! Track your vote! Vote Biden / Harris!

  6. “It’s a scary world we live in when a person of color endorses a racist for president”….

    1. There you go.. Austerity. But of course money will remain no object when it comes to bloated defense spending and bailouts to corporations? Does Wall Street need another bailout?

      It’s talk like yours that is paving the way for a possible Biden administration to make massive cuts to social safety net programs like Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, food stamps and other programs that help the needy..BUT as I said money is no object when it comes to the needs and wants of the most wealthy and corporations and the military industrial complex..

    2. @MazinQuartz97 You know damm well that is what Biden will do.. Claim there is no money left and budget cuts need to happen.. Why do you think AOC just last week blasted that aide to Biden who is part of his transition team for mentioning that the cupboards are bare? AOC was right the cupboards are not bare and that is just right wing talking points to justify cuts to social safety net programs like Social Security, food stamps, etc.

    3. If you can intelligently discuss or educate me how Trump can empty the US Federal Reserve, I am willing to listen and learn. Or are you just talking nonsense and just making things up?

  7. When the establishment doesn’t listen to the party they don’t represent the party. Medicare for all ranks high in this party.
