    1. @Justin Case 6% unemployment Trump President Obama added more to the national debt than under any other president, during Obama’s eight years in office annual gross domestic product never reached a growth rate of 3 percent for a single year. He was the first U.S. president who failed to reach that mark. If Trump was killing us I sure hate to see what u think is bad.

    2. @rastaewabeach
      America will cease to exist as a Sovereign country after 4 years of Marxism rule from Democrats…..

    1. @If you don’t vote for Biden, YOU AIN’T BIDEN I find it extremely sad to hear groups like Latino’s, even any American, thinking that Joe Biden is a Socialist or wants Socialism, when most don’t even understand what Socialism is and how the US is made up. It’s true we have Socialism programs, but we are also a Capitalism country. Here’s what you should know. First STOP listening to people that are telling you that Joe Biden is for Socialism, he’s NOT. Second, Socialism is and has been in the US for hundreds of years, you just don’t understand what it is. So let’s look at the definition of Socialism: A political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Now that you know the definition, let’s look at the programs we have. We are made up of two characteristics Capitalism and Socialism. The difference between the USA and countries like Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. is the leadership. The United States is not a country lead by dictatorship, we are a country of democracy. Our leadership has terms limits, they are not considered or can be allowed to operate the US as a kingdom, so we have NO kings. Very few Americans know or understand that many American institutions are by their very function are socialist, because we have been convinced that we are a capitalist democracy and opposite of socialist thoughts. That has its connection of communism to socialism. The far-right always say to their audience that socialist ideas are communist ideas and that segment of America agrees. They have bought that argument hook, line, and sinker. They give little thought to what is happening in today’s world. They don’t seem to realize most countries are morphing towards a socialist-capitalist economic system, whether a socialist state or democratic state. Here’s some of the programs that fit into the definition of Socialism. I’ve provided the links as well so you can read all of the information. There are other websites available, you just need to google the questions and they will show the answers. Are our schools considered as a Socialism program? The answer is YES. The United States democratic system includes characteristics of capitalism as well as socialism. Perhaps the most socialistic endeavor of the US is its K-12 public school system; in fact, US public schools are necessary for democracy to thrive and to create an educated and well-informed populace. However, capitalism and socialism are strange bedfellows. The soft underbelly of capitalism – greed – has become a problematic influence for K-12 schools. This paper examines the history of US public schools and the influence of capitalism focusing on problems associated with greed at the individual and corporate level. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED574217.pdf. What about programs like your Social Security, Medicare, our fire departments, parks, etc. Yes they are fundamentally Socialism. https://www.quora.com/Arent-all-the-most-popular-things-in-America-somewhat-socialist-in-nature-public-schools-medicare-social-security-fire-departments-national-parks-and-so-on-Why-the-aversion. Bottom line. If you are so terrified of Socialism…please feel free to refuse all Medicare and Social Security benefits, don’t send your kids to school, do visit the parks, don’t call the fire department or police, because these are quintessential socialist programs.

    2. @SMS Lol I wouldn’t watch it either. It’s the REAL Joe Biden. His racist punkas.. he’s a piece of garbage.

  1. I’am happy to report that there are only another 63 days until January 20th 2021, 12:00 high-noon when CadetBonespurs tRump has to officially vacate the peoples White House cause he’s unanimously been “Fired” by the American Public Electorate. Either he leaves willingly & easily or he can chose to be dragged out bonespurs feet first if he continues to kick, scream, protest, cry & resist. Resistance is futile, The People have spoken

    1. Good news for sure. We’ve endured four long, bitter, dysfunctional years under a man who is evil if not both evil and mentally ill.

  2. I am sick of the idiots walking around without a mask on. Do your part for crying out loud. Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. When did the fabric of your community spirit become so jaded. I’m very disappointed in what I see.

    1. @Preston Ramseyer lmao sounds like something a Trump cultist would say! Sorry but that’s just my interpretation.
      Thank God G. Biden won so we can return to normalness!

    2. @David M So, if you haven’t figured it out yet, those of you that continue to defy wearing a mask, staying inside, and those of you that continue to go to gatherings, YOU ARE THE REASON WHY OUR ECONOMY IS NOT RECOVERING. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY HEALTH CARE IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE FUTURE. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY SMALL BUSINESSES CAN’T SURVIVE. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE CAN’T GET BACK TO WORK. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY TRAVELING HAS CAME TO A STOP. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE DYING. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY HOSIPITALS ARE OVER WHELMED. You say the problem is you don’t want our government to control your life and tell you what you need to do. Yet you won’t on your own do the responsible actions necessary to get this virus under control. Our government should NOT HAVE to enforce actions to get ANYONE to corporate to save lives. More than anything, why are you not listening to those nurses and doctors that are tired of working the long hours, those that have lost others in this profession while serving you? They are dying as well, because those of you that seem to think the government is trying to control your liberties, when in fact they are simply trying to get the virus under control so you can go back to having a life again. I guess if you have a dying wish to die from this virus, that’s your decision, but do you have to take others with you? Seriously, are you proud of yourself for being so defiant?

    3. @SMS Wow, you have a lot to say. Guess what, I’m not wearing a mask and I’m not social distancing 😲WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  3. This is what happens when science is systematically discredited by leaders from the insane orange clown to his Senate jesters that care nothing about the people that they are supposed to represent.

    1. “science is systematically discredited by leaders”
      The Republican Party have been indulging in overt science denial for the past two decades, particularly in regard to climate science and perhaps even longer in regard to other subjects.

    2. @Richard Christie You mean your fake science from sold out Nazis? I’ll keep breathing air freely and your science can take a dive into a climate change fire.

    3. @David M “You mean your fake science from sold out Nazis? ”
      No, I refer to the real science as done by the scientific community. It’s a world wide activity. It involves tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people. It arrives at conclusions based on the best available evidence known to human kind. Climate science has arrived at a rock solid consensus as to climate change, it can be read summarised at NASA’s webpage https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
      [I assume that you have heard of the smart folk at NASA, you know the folk that landed men on the Moon and lowered a car onto Mars from a crane hovering 5 meters above the surface].

      “I’ll keep breathing air freely and your science can take a dive into a climate change fire.”
      If your lungs are so weak and compromised that you find breathing through a mask difficult then be assured that you will breathing whist infected with COVID very much more difficult. Yes, really. That’s the truth.
      Wear a mask, be safe, understand that no bogeyman is going to take your freedom away, you need not be so frightened.

  4. For those who still believe Trump in not wearing masks, GO AHEAD DON’T WEAR MASKS! Be sure you have life insurance so that at least you have something to leave for your spouse and children.

  5. This guy took great care of my wife after a postpartum hemorrhage a month after our son was born. Thanks, doc.

  6. In Indiana, lots of schools are closing as well. Plus some hospitals are actually at full capacity where patients are being turned away. It’s horrendous how Trump has handled this virus. A literal crime against humanity.
