    1. The future is going to be something it is for wonderful that African-Americans different people different words different language communication translation and for men and women that is depends. What’s going to be for the future and for the future of the United States of America and that is well the fact and for telling you the truth because that is the future that what I’m saying to you it’s like how is going to be look like great boy not great I don’t know does always to have is plenty of time and that time is always taken

    2. CNN Have you taken your Objectivius Shinium Syndromus meds? Guess who? In Twitter jail for calling Joy Reid a “joyous wench”. Who am I voting for? Not the suit that you’re holding up. Check your emails and reply sometime. Or else let Lauren reply. We could have some “fair” back and forth. I promise to be nice. Being nice is easier than in 2016-2017. Back then POTUS was unknown. Now that we know his strength in governing, no need for nastiness. There’s enough “facts” out there to legitimately challenge your lies and fables now that 3 1/2 years of positive action has taken place. I’ve been emailing with notes and attachments. You’re not changing my mind. The emails are to counter your irrationality at times or to provoke you to respond outright or internally to current affairs. My advice to you is the same as 2016……get a shitty rental, put on shorts and a baseball cap, leave all electronics in the office, drive west 500 miles and don’t stop. There’s a whole world out there that you are oblivious to. Say Hi to Lauren for me. Tell her to check her email as well. No I’ll intent just keeping you honest and trying to add humor at times. Have a great Pointy Day.

    3. @gifford lee sometimes that I you don’t understand the other than the numbers of 1 2 and 3 and 4 it just like that the person that has to be taken very seriously about it to be responsibility for not responsibility but however that is the fact that are above what’s going on and the people already know the truth about it that the numbers of 1 2 3 and 4 it’s just like well two different groups and what is going to happen next. Time will tell because that is the truth

    4. @R. T. Andrews , I agree, but the problem is the Socialist are taking over of the Party.
      Joe was thrown in there for Bernie was set to get the nomination.

    1. Was this done in a democrat mayors city or a republican ran city. Lets vote for the opposite to bring peace.

    2. LoL, If you scroll down you will see that there are about 12 comments that support Joe Biden and 367 comments that support Trump. LOL Gee, I wonder who will win. Aahahahhahahh

    1. Ya know…Just because people ain’t voting for p*ssy grabbing racist Donald Dump doesn’t mean they’re reprobate. If anything…quite the opposite.

    1. Adam Geiger I see plenty of hate on both sides…and don’t just assume that the reason people don’t want trump to be the president is that they “hate” him. Maybe it’s that we don’t agree with his policies nor the rhetoric he chooses, which too often features derisive/abusive/demeaning or insulting language. And maybe we don’t agree with how he uses this rhetoric to deliberately divide the nation, precisely at the time we needed to try to pull together. From where I’m looking it’s trump that’s being hateful. And look at what motivates his base: hate. Read the comments by guys like “bubbles” who’s love for trump is rooted in his wish for liberals to suffer and be punished. In fact that is what seems to be the adhesive that most holds trump and his base together. Many trump supporters seem to love trump most not for what he does for the country but what he does TO people they hate or dislike…making America “great again”is as much about “owning the libs” and making America pay for electing Obama. “Making America great again” implies a process of rejection and re-programming…to make the past anachronistic and create a counter-narrative to the reality of a country that is changing demographically and idealistically away from white familiarity.

      When Trump says there has to be “retribution” he is being hateful and vengeful, there is no justice in such words. When people like you talk about the country being destroyed they act like it’s happening during Biden’s presidency, except Biden isn’t the president. No, we are here, right in this exact position with trump as the president. No amount of conspiracy theory digging changes this. But as you said, I am picking the 3rd option and living with my morals, integrity and values. And it’s precisely because of these that I won’t be voting trump- not because I “hate” him.

    2. @michael virgini God you beta idiot. Your side is in perpetual riot mode, and its the trump side showing hate?
      How many trump supporters have killed cops so far?
      Who’s invaded more countries trump or obama?
      Your side is burning cities and attacking maga hats.

    3. cjp you’re just proving my point. I don’t have a “side”. That’s how you chose to see things because you don’t have a true moral compass nor any discernment. Anyhow, you’re label-bombs are simply trite and meaningless attacks against invisible boogeymen. We don’t get anywhere by attacking each other but someone benefits…hmmm guess who? Anyway good luck with your hating and insulting. I’m going to keep trying to do better, treat people better…which is an idea obviously lost on “alphas” like you.

    4. @michael virgini you are living a life of pure ignorance. Collusion was a lie and media is a nonstop propaganda outlet for the establishment that has no problem lying. If “know nothings” like you had any level of investigative skill, you would understand exacly were trump support comes from. There are thousands of recorded instances of riots, antifa/blm violence, maga hats getting attacked, and conservative college speakers getting shut down. The reality, that msm zombies like you get zero exposure to. Because the media won’t dare cover it. I bet you know nothing about the covington kids or the teens shot in Chaz. I bet you haven’t watched 2 seconds of maga hat wearers getting assaulted. I’ve lost count how many times that happened.
      I bet you know nothing about the cop paralyzed from the neck down from getting shot by blm rioters.
      The trump trolls can go for days with all the things you bubble dwellers know nothing about.
      I know for a fact you can’t name a single left wing college speaker shut down by an angry right wing mob.
      But if I list out the right wing speakers… my comment gets deleted.

      You are either awake to establishment media propaganda, or asleep to it. You very much do have “a side”.

    1. But we were told by the Governors of California, Washington and Oregon it was Climate Change that caused these fires : Authorities arrest 4 in connection to possible arson, fires along West Coast

      Oregonian -Four have been arrested on suspicion of arson in West Coast areas already under seige from major destructive and deadly blazes, according to Fire Officials’ reports.

      As wildfires continue to rage across three states, police investigated separate incidents near existing wildfires. Two men in Washington state, one man in Oregon and one woman in California are facing charges, according according to the LA Times

      The latest reports suggest that at least 20 people have died in California, eight in Oregon and one in Washington state as firefighters struggle to contain already deadly fires.

      Guess what else these three Governors have in common…..wait for it…..uncontrolled rioting/looting and they are Democrats

      We are still waiting for CNN to blame Climate Change for Coronavirus and teen pregnancies.
      >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    2. @Jets Tom :Arseholes EXACERBATED
      the already tinder dry forests along with record breaking temperatures. Gender-revealing parties…they should be prosecuted as arsonists. With respect to “uncontrolled rioting/looting”…this is happening on Trump’s watch. Trump is pouring fuel on the fire. The Governors are Democrats b/c States with huge populations tend to vote Democrat. You are oversimplifying a complex problem. Screw CNN, FOX, MSNBC and ALL MSM. Don’t let anyone make decisions for you. Engage in critical thinking, do research and USE YOUR OWN BRAIN! Don’t fall for anyone’s propaganda and don’t believe anything on social media. They all want you to believe THEIR version of the truth.

    3. My dad is old skool hispanic and I ain’t gonna lie he was for Trump even before I was, this year him, my brother and me are all voting for trump

    1. @Ariki Royal 🤣🤣🤣 Good one! Is that before or after he spends every night on Twitter insulting everyone that disagrees with him? I could find 5-year-old’s that are more adept at seeing other peoples’ viewpoints, compromising, and bringing people together.

    2. @John Solberg If Trump wins, It will actually be Pence. Because when the Dems regain the Senate, they will vote for impeachment and get rid of this mofo once and for all.

    1. Bubbles My favorite is when they try and go out and think burning their own cities will make a difference then they cry and cry about how deprived they are 😂 also I love when they stand in front of traffic, I love watching the videos of cars vs leftist morons

    1. @Trick Q school choice, more tax cuts, pull more of our troops out of foreign countries, grow the economy more, shrink the balance sheet at the Federal Reserve, further cut down the size of government, appoint more judges.

    2. @brady chick are you saying Biden isn’t debating because it isn’t mandatory? Nothing else? Why would he be the first with that excuse?

    3. @Trick Q the democrat run states are the only economies in recession and that’s enough by itself. If you want to include the debates, good luck convincing anyone to trust that. Changing election laws to count a piece of paper that could’ve been sent by anyone right before the vote is not to help the country

  1. “Man will give up his all for freedom and liberty” said the Late,Great Colonel Sanders to his chickens

    1. I’m in my 60s. Sorry, I didn’t watch Animal House. I know what the movie is about and trust me, we had more wild times in the late 60s and early 70s than the Animal House bullshit. So you say he’s kidding. Really? Personally, I’m not finding anything funny with this presidency.

    1. What are you talking about? Did we want to drop nuclear bombs on Japan. Hell no. But how many more Americans were going to be killed by the Japanese if we invaded the mainland? Japan started the war with the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

    1. So why do you cnn freaks keep changing accounts?
      We know who you are. The alleged model who drops the dumbest jokes in libtard media channels.
      Kat von something.

    1. @David Butler are you sure you’re as bright as a white kid ,
      Maybe you should stick to rubbing hairy leg hairs that turn blond in the sun…
      Come on man, you’ll love it
