      UR VOTE KILLED 200THOUSAND AMERICANS
      worst economy in history millions unemployed 500billion ppp TAXPAYER dollars stolen

    2. @Indi Pillai You have been sniffing the glue again…Democrats are communists…Your vote for the commies makes you a communist…

  1. There will definitely be more violence and chaos in this country if Trump remains in power. Things will escalate uncontrollably and Trump will turn it up.

    1. @Jock Young You are on glue….🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. TRUMP 2020. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
      George Soros funded ANTIFA riots and BLACK LIVES MATTER fires are in bad Governed Democrat states..
      VOTE DEM OUT..Don’t be stupid..Vote Republican in person if you want to survive………………..I have hairy legs

    2. @Bill Bilacheck the state that just reduced penalties on pedophiles can’t figure out why it keeps going up in flames. 🔥 🔥 🔥

  2. As an aside—the court is supposed to be bipartisan. The GOP weaponization of the courts to push their minority agenda should make the majority wake up and realize what’s at stake.

    1. How can it be Bipartisan and impartial when the PRESIDENT and Senate nominates and votes them onto the bench??? its lunacy to expect people not to vote along party lines or a sense of loyalty to the people who put them there!

    2. @Walt Schmidt Remember the Electoral College….Yeah, that one.
      The Electoral College AOC wanted to decertify because they have no campus.

  3. If Trump and liars like GRAHAM succeed …

    … the ACA will be abolished, Americans can forget about their pre conditions rights and Roe v Wade will be overturned. 😳 Vote like your life depends on it!

    1. McConnell Hits Senate Floor, Absolutely NUKES Dems For Trying to Stop Trump’s SCOTUS Pick
      https://youtu.be/BSM-gUvafGw
      The fastest confirmation was John G, Roberts Jr. 19 days. He was nominated by President George W. Bush on Sept. 6, 2005, and confirmed on Sept. 25 by a vote of 78 to 22.

    2. @Pinkie Love misspoked. Meanwhile t rump if declaring war on all citizens of the United States of America. As if Trump has never misspoke …more likely lied. Still no tax returns…. lieing about pre existing conditions (Covid19) trying to cut. Mail fraud and voter suppression and u r paying for his golfing and sexual charges with Barr represening him. He’s broke and using WH and conferences as a rally speech. So many more …losers and suckers who do not wear masks

  4. Buckle up ppl. That fried mango is really going to drop a turd in America’s punch bowl. Vote for Biden as soon as possible.

    2. Peter C Even Republicans want to vote him out. Haven’t heard of RVAT (Republican Voters Against Trump). Only mindless, uneducated, and easily manipulated voters like you support the Donald Duck.

    1. @snowflake killer 👈 Doesn’t know that Mitch controls the Senate, you know the people who confirm the SC Justice.
      😅😂🤣

    2. @snowflake killer Only tears I’m crying are tears of laughter at the dumbest president in history and the idiots who still support him. “Person woman man camera….TV!” 😅😂🤣

  5. tRump *only* wants a nominee that can stop courts from digging into his crimes. He cares nothing for Americans! Vote Blue down the ballot America!! Biden/Harris 2020!! 👏👏👏

    1. You are very misled, why is President Trump going down in books for being the greatest president of all time, has accomplished more then any 10 presidents combined? These are facts that have all been proven!

    2. @Jeff Anderson hey watch put they will say your russia, they will say america is worse now than 5 years ago. Haha they will say joe biden who did nothing in 47 years will do something now as president. This is the same joe biden who won’t take any questions, who wont go on live TV to be asked hard question ya this same joe biden will save us all from nothing! Hahaha people say their taxes have went up and thats a sign of you making more money haha so ya i agree haha

  6. Biden Harris 2020🇵🇷🇲🇽🇵🇷🇵🇷🇲🇽🇲🇽🇵🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 let’s make this America great again vote vote

    1. @Tamar Rosenberg-Walker Do you know what the word ‘fascism even means? Try to bring soma actual facts when you post. It will make you look less of a simpleton. At least try, OK? Good luck.

    2. @chris leonard Do you have any facts, Cletus? Or do you just say things to calm you down. Maybe try ripping up pieces of paper slowly. Your psychiatrist probably already suggested that, huh?

    3. @Econo Driver They certainly want to ruin America. The socialist-communist
      fork looks to them to be the fastest way to achieve that, I suppose..

    1. That is so true,,, omg. Our people need a True Leader.. trump/ Hitler doesn’t care about the people….

    3. Over 62 Million aborted Human Beings Murdered in America to date.
      This is RBG’s legacy. She now knows God has been Pro-Life all along.

      !******FILL THE SEAT NOW******!

  7. I have no faith in our government. I think we are at risk of overthrow. Our leaders are not as good as their own word. We are teetering on illegitimacy.

  8. How is it possible in a country once comitted to the rule of law to have political elected supreme court judges ? A country with such a system could never be a member of the Europian Union. The powers between the executive and the judiciary should be divided.

    1. @Dawn Santi My middle class family has done very well with Trump.
      Maybe you’re just too lazy or stupid to get ahead.

    2. thom wessels – Was it really Trump or was it you…? Just because two things happen at the same time does not mean that there is a cause and effect relationship between them. What did Trump do for you that Obama didn’t?

    1. @jose galo magana cuanas You have been sniffing glue again….The Dems are going to lose BIG this election..Dems are communists…

    2. @beth robb You like to reverse the truth, huh? Blaisey Ford was actually found over and over to be lying. Kavenaugh was NEVER found to have told any untruths in the hearing.(Psst: That’s why he passed the hearings with flying colors and now sits on the SCOTUS.) It must just be weird, you spending all of your energy and time mis-remembering life and facts. Good luck.

    3. @thom wessels Ah, so you believe a Supreme Court Justice should be loyal to a President — in this case, a President who is pathologically corrupt and mendacious, a puppet of our country’s most dangerous adversary, and intends to be dictator for life (in order to keep from being prosecuted for numerous crimes).

      And what do you suggest she do when Trump leaves office? Should she resign, or should she hang around in order to protect him from criminal prosecution and conviction?

  9. All these dumb polls -Anyone with a Conscience already knows for 100% Certain that Trump is a wanna be Dictator and is destroying Democracy !

    1. @Neil Smith wrong stupid trumpsters. Obama got us out of George w Bush’s worst recession and saved the car companies , abama care , got the economy back including the stock market etc etc come to think of it if mich hadn’t made a plan with his republican buddies not to pass anything put forward for a vote from the 1 St day of his administration , just think of all that could of been accomplished moron.

    2. @J V I love all the left conspiracy theories. So I hope Trump wins again. Keep them conspiracies coming. It makes for great free mass entertainment.

  10. Here’s some good news out of Nevada from the courts on a lawsuit the GOP filed against voters rights. Another blow for Dtrump came from US District Judge James C. Mahan, who dismissed the GOP lawsuit to stop Nevada from sending out ballots to all active voters amid the coronavirus pandemic.  The judge was quoted as saying “The lawsuit lacks standing”.

    1. Another Independent here voting straight blue ticket.
      We’re exhausted by Trump’s weekly scandals, lies, treason, corruption, buffoonery and dangerous incompetence.

    2. @Raymond Cheng : Those insults are handed out on both sides. Since I’m from a rural area, I get called a racist inbred uneducated (even though I have a masters degree in education) hillbilly.

    3. Gary Campbell I don’t judge anyone. I’m a Chinese American and I’m horrible at math, a relatively good driver and my dad served in the military and did not own a laundry mat….just keeping a sense of humor here. I vote based on what I think would be best for me, my family and most important of all, my country. Any person who thinks Trump is good for this country should vote Trump. I strongly disagree based on the last four years. Like I said said, if you disagree, I got no gripes with you. My point is don’t call Independents morons or worse – has civility also been lost these last four years that we can’t even disagree on a public comment without resorting to calling each other names.

    4. @Raymond Cheng : I agree wholeheartedly. Civility has been lost. I try very hard not to ridicule, insult, or name call. Nor do I use profanity.

    5. Gary Campbell We all need to get our sense of humor back too. We really need to be able to laugh at ourselves more. Goes a long way. These are definitely interesting times….stay safe and stay well.

  11. When Joe Biden wins and we take back the WH and Senate, we will expand the Supreme Court in 2020, pack it with liberal judges, and turn Puerto Rico and D.C. into States. Then we can focus on tossing Trump in prison. Republicans wanna play dirty? It’s on.

    1. @Gary Campbell No thanks, I don’t eat with science-deniers who don’t wear masks. And now with Trump certain to repeal pre-existing condition protections, you can’t be too careful.

    2. @James Beryllis : Boy, do you ever need to get out of your big city (probably on one of the coasts) and get to the small towns and rural areas and see what’s really going on, instead of making up your own CNN & MSNBC version. Both of my senators are republican. Both have said your last sentence is NOT going to happen.

    3. @Gary Campbell Well, Republican Senators aren’t exactly known for being truthful, as clearly evidenced by their egregiously hypocritical about-face on a SCOTUS pick. In fact, it’s in the works: https://www.cbpp.org/research/health/suit-challenging-aca-legally-suspect-but-threatens-loss-of-coverage-for-tens-of I certainly hope you’re healthy as a mule and have absolutely no pre-existing conditions, because if you do, your health insurance is just salivating at the chance to kick you off soon. Hope you have a good nest egg, cause you’re gonna be draining it to pay for medical services completely out of pocket.

    4. @James Beryllis : Boy, can’t stop with the gloom and doom can we ? AND, if my 2 senators do not listen to the wishes around here ? They will be out on their ear. We want that nomination of Amy Comey Barrett as soon as possible. What does anybody have against her ?

    5. @Gary Campbell What did you have against Merrick Garland? Was he too much of a decent human being for Republicans’ consideration 11 months before the 2016 election? As for Amy Comey Barrett, not much against her, just that she’s chomping at the bit to overturn Roe v Wade (how did the last act of prohibition work out in the US, btw?) which has been settled law for 50 years, overturn pre-existing protections we enjoy under Obamacare, reverse marriage equality, civil rights, and in general turn the SCOTUS into the legitimizers and enforcers of a repressive, suffocating neo-Christian theocracy.
