    1. @Diana Hulstine Oh ok. My own country’s intelligence organisation told the US before that happened that America’s protege, Mr. Hussein had no womd, and was regularly monitored and inspected by international agencies. But Cheyney, Wolfowitz and the rest created alternative propaganda and just wouldn’t listen. They knew America had earlier provided him with chemical and biological weapons, among others, and assumed he still had them. We -and others – knew it was no longer so.

    2. @Dawn Santi Biden has never, not once in all his years in elected office, called for the reunification of the supercontinent.

      Not once.

      What is he hiding…….
      😅

    3. @Mark Campbell You mean literally? I’d have thought that having taken an oath to the constitution and the people would make any oath of personal loyalty, by an elected official, to any other person an obvious conflict of interest, even if not treason. A president may represent the American people, but he doesn’t become their embodiment. Sometimes, though, when I hear Trump say “we” I get the feeling that he does mean it like the royal ‘we’.. that is, himself only.

  1. Today the Republican Party is a criminal political cult obssessed with power and greed, and to achieve their two priorities, they will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING.

    Since 2016, we have witnessed a test of the depths to which the Republican Party will sink. How much corruption, how much collusion with foreign powers and betrayal of the national interest will that party’s elected representatives stand for?  Well the results of that test are abundantly clear, shocking, and horrifying: There is no bottom.

    The GOP is now a thoroughly corrupt party. Trump is a symptom, not the disease, and our democracy will remain under threat even if and when he’s gone.

    The corruption we see in the Republican party today can be defined as institutional depravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means.

    The modern GOP as a whole, is overwhelmingly corrupt, and dominated by fanaticals and extremists.  Anyone imagining that Trump being defeated in November will lead to a moral awakening, or that republicans will return to democratic political norms once Trump is gone, is living in a fantasy world.

    Republicans have chosen suppression and authoritarianism, because unlike the Dems, their party isn’t a coalition of interests in search of a majority. The Republican party isn’t interested in what the majority of Americans want. The Republican party doesn’t even hide it’s contempt for the American people.

    The big question is whether America as we know it can long endure when one of its two major parties has effectively rejected the principles on which our nation was built.

    1. I can tell you what happened……ballotts in Pa. have to be put in an envelop, and then placed in a second envelop……the inner envelop is not to be opened now…..The contractor thought those ballots were actually the applications for a ballott….since those overseas ballotts were sent out two months ago, but the domestic ballotts, not yet…….and bottom line…..Luzerne County , where this happened , is a REPUBLICAN controlled county….

    1. If you are a religious zealot ,you should be adress as mr taliban for you
      Are as if not more dangerous than the taliban itself!!!

  2. Barr is supposed to be the AG for the United States of America; instead, he is Donald’s personal flunky, paid for by taxpayers.

    1. Duh…
      Who would discard only 9 ballots out of 6,000,000 that will be cast in PA, leave them intact, and place them in the nearest dumpster? A clumsy and brain deficient clerk trying to hide a really bad booboo?

    2. @ruth depew Exactly, you would try to cover up the tampered/unsealed ballots by……leaving them intact.
      And findable.
      And identifiable.

  3. The missing nine ballets thing was obviously a false flag operation by Trump sycophants — who were involved in discarding the ballets and then supposedly “finding” them…

  4. *_Trump will not accept the election result. He will have Republican State Legislators invalidate mail in ballots. Vote in person and vote Early._*

    1. @Nancy M Ross …Lyndon B. Johnson was a very smart southern man. He knew that Democrats would lose the south when he signed the civil rights bill into law. That was one of his most memorable statements during that time.

    2. @Nancy M Ross Oh and go back and watch as major republicans in today’s party describe trump to a T before the elections.

    3. @D MP indeed he did. After he signed the bill, he accurately predicted what would happen. It just shows the deep hatred and bigotry that still permeate many parts of the south, and the rest of the country if accuracy is the goal. Mark Meadows demonstrated this kind of thinking when he proposed sending Obama back to Kenya or wherever he is from. That statement alone should disqualify him from ever holding office, but now he is “l am not a racist” Trump’s chief negotiators to fix the economy. No wonder nothing positive has happened. It might do something good for the poor folk.

  5. Let us Vote in Great Numbers for BIDEN/HARRIS so there is NO QUESTION
    as to who is the clear winner! Let us save our DEMOCRACY!

    1. @Diane O’Donovan
      DRAG HIM OUT AND LOCK HIM UP 2K21
      this is a Putin installed criminal enterprise folks not an administration

    2. @Indi Pillai No matter against whom it is done, a mob dragging someone from their home, even if just to lock them up and not do bodily harm, seems to me an offence to the rule of law (by which I don’t mean rule-by-cop). If you add an illegal weapon to any store, be prepared to see it used for reasons other than those you consider the good.

    3. @Diane O’Donovan
      The poorest uneducated GOP racists and traitors come from shithole redstates that collect half their budgets from blue donor states FACTS

    4. @Diane O’Donovan
      DRUMPF KILLED 200THOUSAND AMERICANS
      worst economy in history millions unemployed 500billion ppp TAXPAYER dollars stolen
      ANYONE BUT THE PUSS GRABBER 2K20

    1. Barr may have very good selfish reasons to do this: he risks being indicted if Biden wins, and only just so. Vote blue! Take the senate back! Take America back! Vote early! Vote safe! Vote Biden Harris!
