  1. As the walls close in, Trump becomes more dangerous. This is a terrifying time for the USA

    1. Googol If only more people would watch that video by the Guardian—but it’s actual numbers and science, so forget that happening.
      But some of us do, and will continue, to use these numbers correctly. Thanks!

    2. errgsd Thanks for the links—don’t know yet whether I agree with your reading of the research, cause I need some time to grasp the numbers and see what I think.
      But this is EXACTLY the type of stuff people need to understand to identify and avoid the junk out there.

    3. @Randialena Anderson *Trickle Down Theory and Tax Cuts for the Rich – Works Every Time*

      Argued for Tax Cuts

      John F. Kennedy (D)
      Ronald Reagan (R)
      George W. Bush (R)

      the affect on the economy?

      It increased the Rate of Growth
      It increased the Revenue Received by the Government

      the Rich not only paid more taxes after the tax cuts,
      they paid a higher percentage of all taxes collected

      – Barack Obama insisted Trickle Down Economics didn’t work

    1. The pandemic and Trump’s attitude made me go back and look at past elections. I hope this year’s election result are like the results in 1922 after the last pandemic – the Republicans lost tons of seats in both the House and the Senate.

    1. @Sofian
      Absolutely!
      Anything, Absolutely anything is better than four more years of nutcase Drumpf! And if YOU wre sane you would feel the same but, unfortunately, you are part of the problem. You suffer from TDS = Trump”s Delusional Sycophant

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500
      You are and have been deluded and simply are TDS = Trumps Delusional Sycophant

    3. Any honest, smart 14 year old that likes to read and is able to learn new things rapidly would be a much better President than Trump.

    1. @George When the bean counters find out what tRumpanzee did to those bail-out funds… That pig dying a free man disgusts me more than I can say.

    2. @George Disagree.

      Everything you see happening is because these criminals have opened our eyes! We are not fodder for the machine. The police are and have been since 68, out of control. The entire system has to be revamped. This is the USA. We do not beet innocent protestors who are protesting police violence. This is our country and the Russ-Thugu-KKKant hate-mongers have backed this pig every step. Now you want to hold hands and sing kumbaya?

  2. Trump doesn’t want to throw money at a losing campaign. He wants to keep it all for himself. If he can’t win by fair means the money’s better spent on hiring little green men.

    1. @mike briganti This administration has been the absolute worst administration ever known in United States history. 45 and his administration has left our country in the worst situation possible.

    2. @Ty Ty
      No, YOU have done that. You knew who he was, you knew how to get rid of him, but you just didn’t care enough.

    3. *Trickle Down Theory and Tax Cuts for the Rich – Works Every Time*

      Argued for Tax Cuts

      John F. Kennedy (D)
      Ronald Reagan (R)
      George W. Bush (R)

      the affect on the economy?

      It increased the Rate of Growth

      the Rich not only paid more taxes after the tax cuts,
      they paid a higher percentage of all taxes collected

      – Barack Obama insisted Trickle Down Economics didn’t work

    4. @Ty Ty – Actually Obama’s was the most Corrupt, Scandalous, and Economically the Worst of the Modern Era

  3. It’s a little late for the GOP to be in fear. They fell in line behind Trump, like he was the Pied Piper, and then followed him off a cliff.

    1. @Gypsy Wolf If people can’t read that and realize what they’ve gotten our country into, they need deprogramming. Actually, though, that was the worst thing I’ve ever heard about Hillary…that trump liked her and thought she’d be a great Pres. or VP. All that “Crooked Hillary” nonsense was way less believable. This all shows very well how two faced he is, and how he does and days what he does, not out of honesty and sincerity, but out of self gratification. Excellent work on this extensive compilation which I would bet already needs updated. Thank you for your effort.

    2. All because they didn’t have the back bone to stand up to him. It’s a shame that the highest office in our nation has been given a AWFUL STAIN by this present administration.

  4. Let’s face up to the fact that the GOP Senate needs a good pruning, removing all the dead and diseased wood to promote new growth.

  5. Trump keeps saying don’t vote for Sleepy Joe. I would vote for Joe Biden even if he was in a coma over Trump with his test certificate, any day of the week.

    1. @Brian Garrow – College and a Real Job is what you need, not Tax the Rich idiocy and the Crumbs the government gives you

    2. *Joe Biden Offers Plan to Raise Taxes by $4 Trillion Dollars…Most Expensive Tax Increase in US History*
      May 26, 2020 https://davidharrisjr.com/steven/joe-biden-offers-plan-to-raise-taxes-by-4-trillion-dollars-most-expensive-tax-increase-in-us-history/

      *Joe Biden apparently believes this country needs to commit suicide and so he is offering a tax increase of $4 trillion dollars. Considering the huge losses many companies suffered from the DTMNBN (Disease That Must Not Be Named) this is plain crazy. It could cause companies to fold their tent and go home.*

      *Biden’s plan is even more expensive than the one offered by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Her plan would have raised taxes by $1.5 trillion dollars. Biden is trying to curry favor with the far left that is demanding massive new spending.*

      Biden would raise capital gains taxes by 20 percentage points, which would mean decreased investment since loans made usually see a loss of one third of their investments.

      With the larger costs, many venture capitalists will increase their investments overseas and drastically reduce US investments at a time we can ill afford it.

      He also plans to raise corporate taxes by seven percentage points. The Trump tax cuts that brought the US corporate taxes in line with other countries led to a huge hiring boom, raises in pay and benefits for it’s employees. Biden’s plan will reverse all of that. Good idea?

      *The Washington Free Beacon reports:*

      CNBC Reporter: *Biden Tax Plan ‘Most Expensive’ in Recent History*

      “The truth is that Joe Biden, even though he’s portrayed as a moderate, is offering the most expensive Democratic tax plan that we’ve seen from any Democratic candidate in recent history,” Frank said in an interview. “Hillary Clinton’s total plan was $1.5 trillion. Biden’s plan is $4 trillion.”

      Biden has been courting a number of progressives in advisory roles to his campaign in recent weeks. Last Wednesday, he announced his new “unity task forces” with rival primary candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.). The group, which includes freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and top economic advisers to the Sanders campaign, will collectively develop the Democratic Party’s 2020 platform.

    3. @wnose It’s odd to have a Dem quote me history, when at the same time they seem to believe that destroying a statue, erases history. Very puzzling.

    4. @john emeigh Even more puzzling is how 33% of Americans support a racist, sexist, boastful, incompetent narcissist. I guess it’s not so puzzling when you think about it, he’s one of them.

    5. @wnose Ba! You’re missing the whole thing mate. I’ve stopped fighting. It’s all clear. The President’s “personality” is not the issue. I’d love him to live next door. I wouldn’t want to work for him… “You’re fired!”” LoL Any President is limited. I’m not mad at him; I like him.

  6. The more trump spends on ads, the less he can funnel to his own bank account before it all comes crashing down …

    1. Apart from the money syphoned off by his campaign. Parscale still needs that new Ferrari. And the top guy too, a Bentley maybe ?

  7. Best case scenario: trump takes his party down with him and thus rids us of the other enemy of the people.

    1. @Davis Tran I think most Americans can live with traditional conservative values – it’s the lack of values held by the Party of Trump that people have had enough of. I hope true Republicans take their party back, and kick the imposters to the curb.

    2. @Davis Tran Trump isn’t about conservatism. Trump is about racism and white supremacy. That’s his appeal to his 35% base right there.

    3. @cosmic voyager

      Republicans: 28 years in power and racked up 120 indictments, 89 convictions and 34 prison sentences.
      Democrats: 25 years in power and…? 3 indictments, 1 conviction and 1 prison sentence.

      We know which party loves flying the flag of TRAITORs and have FELONs as their representatives.

    4. @Mainely
      Likely but perhaps not, if the defeat is comprehensive enough. Hence why “best case scenario”.

  8. *Pillars of American Institutions are higher, mightier than Trump. The ground beneath him is quickly disappearing… all Trump got is the smallest % of Base[ment] Trumpers.*

    1. Well said. Go out there and #Vote…this sore and incompetent loser is already trying to undermine the beating that he is about to get this coming November. Get out there and #Vote all of this garbage in power out!!!

    2. Even if you assume the best outcome, you still need to vote because the GOP must not be allowed to win even a single seat. They are a criminal organisation, which everyone outside the U.S. can see.

    1. He only has so many days left to raise funds for legal expenses, that are more than likely to exceed OJ Simpsons by more than 100 times.

    2. He has set up a system of purchasing that reminds me very much of the one set up by Fred Trump in order to pass his money to his children, without paying inheritance or gift taxes (tax fraud). Fred set up a dummy company through which he purchased building and maintenance supplies, at huge mark-ups, for his business empire. The dummy company would then buy the materials at market price, and the difference went to the children. This is how Donnie Boy was able to make $250,000 as a 3-year old.

      Trump has set up two companies to do all of the campaigns’ purchases, including advertising. The FEC apparently doesn’t require the campaign to monitor the ultimate vendors, because the two “dummy” companies are the only ones being paid. $170 million dollars is already under scrutiny.

    3. @Fred A They have been accused of 170 million being sent to Jrs girlfriend
      from reelection fund. Was
      Supposed to be documented but wasn’t.
      Campaign fraud pure and
      simple.

  9. Trump’s plan involves a a very large suitcase full of money and a flight to Russia. Putin’s plan is to not answer the phone

    1. You really think Putin will grant him asylum? Putin rewards failure with death, not happy good times on the Black Sea.

    2. On the contrary… With all the loot he owes to Putin, you best believe he’s gonna high- tail it as far from Russia as possible… Sounds like another Russian Bounty story on the way…

    3. Putin would take him in because Trump knows “things.” Check that. You’re right. Trump doesn’t no anything of a sensitive nature, because he hates reading.

    1. So this is all the Republicans fault but when Hillary told Bernie followers not to vote for her and they didn’t it was their fault that she lost the fact that was she was against every Progressive and their ideals and then get their votes it was addresses fault not Hillary’s or the Democrats right I’m just asking haven’t been blamed for the last 4 years and for Donald Trump

    2. @Kevin Parsons Gawd you trumpers sure do like living in the past. It’s all on 45 and all of the Republicans who support him, not all the Republicans. If you like fascism then you need to toughen up, because 45 is waltzing you right down the road to fascism.

    3. Until 2024 when the GOP are voted back in because people in this country are stupid and will believe Fox when they say Biden/Dems are responsible for the fallout of all the bad decisions made during the Trump presidency. God I hate this place so much now.

    4. Maybe Stephen Miller will form his own fiefdom in Georgia with him as bemedaled leader, and Trump, wearing a Putin mask, can bring him donuts and covfefe each morning.

  10. Floridians who lose these benefits while our fellow American, the ‘essential’ workers, taxes are being purged and handed out to corporations that have never paid taxes to the United States, those Floridians are entitled to put their former Representatives like Rubio, Scott, and DeSantis in their places, along with Kentuckians; find Rand Paul and McConnell, send them to the gallow.

  11. trumpsters, trolls and bots really don’t like this comment section! Love hurts! *VOTE BIDEN! VOTE DEMOCRAT! VOTE FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!*

    1. trump has always been a danger to all society since he was born…. his father was the first danger by teaching him how to behave and he’s doing the same with his own kids, especially his favourite child—- Ivanka
