  1. Democrats: Led by moral compass.
    republicans: Led by a pathological liar, fraud, conman, who ran a fake university and cheated on all three of his wives.

    1. @Carlus Wilmot “I’m afraid a lot of our faves are going to be caught up in this”
      Christine Piglosi on Jeffrey Epstein arrest.

    2. TEXAS IS 🇺🇸MAGA STRONG🇺🇸
      USAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSA
      🇺🇲🇺🇸2020 TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Failed Comedian and politician Al Franken Sexually Assaulted a Sleeping woman on a plane! thats a DemocRAT for you!

    2. ivan tavarez Many like to point out the sexual escapades of Trump when we mention the credible sexual assault allegation and the sexual playtime of Joe Biden. There is however a huge difference between the two and I think we can all appreciate that.
      Clearly, Trump played around but he did so as a private citizen. Often times very wealthy people are targeted and we saw this backfire with Stormy Daniels and her attorney. Stormy lost her case and she had to pay trump damages. The important thing is that Trump was a private citizen. He did this on his own time and his own dime.
      Joe Biden on the other hand earned the nickname of ‘Creepy ol’ Joe’, during his 20 years plus as a powerful member of the United States Senate. He was a powerful government official and he used his power to harass women. He used his political power and had his hands all over women. It is alleged that he sexually assaulted a female staff worker. We should expect more from our elected officials and we should hold them to a higher standard.
      This is the big difference between Trump who was a private citizen and Biden who was a powerful United States senator. Thanks for asking.

    3. @T. R. Campbell we never held any standards to trump tho, none. whatsoever. And hes at 24 harrassments

    1. @ღSwnsasyღ _ The greatest weakness among democrats and is the impossible moral high ground they hold everyone to over actually retaining SEATS!!!!

    1. Need more Republican woman up & down the ballot! Where is MSM coverage of the Chicago Violent BLM Antifa MOB riots? MSM ignores Dem City Violence! This is a distraction, MAIL IN VOTING will be a fiasco! https://nypost.com/2020/08/09/ny-lawmakers-to-grill-election-officials-over-mail-in-ballot-debacle/ Why is the Democrats trying to push this so late in the game? It takes years to set this properly. Trying to jam this down the American people’s throats this late is ridiculous. Why do the democrats want to flood America with the MAIL IN BALLOTS. What is wrong with applying for an Absentee ballot if you are afraid to go vote? Hopefully the courts will get this right! https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/08/10/nevada-shows-mail-ballots-can-go-spectacularly-wrong/ This won’t work!

    1. @Pam Deshane try the front page of their wed site. You would know that of you were as informed as you pretend to be.

    2. @John Nordby I agree. Everyone wants it all in one go. But that’s not how it works. I’ve voted for men and women of all ethnicity. The election in November will decide what is to come.

    3. @Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy Sook? English please. And the last president was black. But that doesn’t mean we are working towards true equality. When you have obvious police brutality, which is now being captured on camera. It’s obvious that hate is still prevalent. Thous there is no equality.

    1. @J
      Gramps and you can from your rocker?
      Your stupidity and ignorance precedes the little intelligence that you have.
      Obviously stupidly has no age barriers.
      Isn’t time for you to hobble to McDonald’s or Wal-Mart?

    2. @Tessmage Tessera I’m not right wing.. I’m in Canada laughing at you from a far. The whole world is except for China.

    4. Pam Deshane you’re sharing a link from a site called “hotair.com”!
      Everyone should vote. They really should.
      We’re in a pandemic that is real. Mail-in voting, absentee voting, whatever it takes for a registered voter to legally vote is a good thing.
      Be well and stay safe!

    1. Remember how all republicans blocked everything the Black American Persident tried to help America?

      Remember Central park 5?
      Remember Trump’s housing discrimination?
      Remember Black workers ordered off the floor when Trump was at his casino?
      Remember trump saying he only wants Jews counting his money loud so his Black accountant can hear?
      Remember Mary Trump saying Uncle Don used the N word regularly?
      Remember the Covid-19 pandemic that Trump ignores, which killed many Blacks and minorities?
      Remember Herman Cain went to Trump’s rally without a mask, died from Covid-19, and Trump did not go to his funeral?

    2. The republicans did not free the slaves. The North freed the slaves jaskass. It was the Union vs the Confederation. It was not the Republican Democrat war. You can’t rewrite history. Being republican is a KKK membership requirement mandate?

    3. RyGuy, President Obama never got impeached.

      President Obama isn’t in the Mueller Report with compiled evidence demonstrating Obstruction of justice
      Witness tampering
      Witness intimidation
      Stormy financial payoff
      McDougal financial payoff
      Deutsche Bank criminal investigation
      Tax investigation
      NY state financial criminal investigation
      Equitable tolling is a legal term meaning Trump is f****d once he levels office. That is why Trump is acting bat$#!T crazy.

  2. I love Katie Hill and FFS she shouldn’t have resigned, neither should have Al Franken. I absolutely hate the PC circular firing squad on the left.

  3. So glad to see Ms. Hill back in the fight for equality and justice. I’m still upset by what they did to her. It’s refreshing to see a leader willing to accept that she made mistakes and learned from them. I’ll pick up her book. I wish her the best moving forward.

  4. My deepest respect to all women who take on these public leadership roles despite the obstacles . It’s the oldest story in the book, as they say, and every new book written by women like Katie Hill chips another brick out of the old wall of misogyny. Times are changing thanks to these brave women, slowly but surely. Support each other for equality, gender and racial.

  5. Oh, I get it. A male politician can have an affair while in office and continue to be in public office, but a woman cannot. In fact, a male can even flaunt his affairs and sexual misdeeds (to put it mildly) and be elected to the highest public service office in the nation and be celebrated for “telling it like it is.” Hill should have never stepped down from her office.

  6. Silly of her to resign, she should have sicked the FBI and Secret Service on the poster and ex who was threatening her. Make it a stalking case.

  7. Should Kamala Harris be Joe Biden’s choice for his V-P running mate, Katie Hill would make a good replacement for Harris in the U.S. Senate!

  8. It brought to mind Al Franken being compelled to step down. Why is it the best folks step down for small moral offenses, but the worst offenders just ride roughshod over such things? I think I answered the question with the wording of the question.

  9. I think this is more to do with party politics. What happened to her was criminal from her husband. Al Franken was forced to resign also for something that happened decades ago and was a stupid joke. If either were Republicans they would have been forgiven by Jesus and still be serving…
