America First Or You DO Not United One Of Orther WE Face TRIBULATION Day On 2024

    2. You would think trump would have some sympathy for people with brain injuries since he is suffering mightily from one himself. #ENDTRUMP #VOTEBLUE

  1. My father served and was sent to Nam. His three sons served after him. Proudly! We don’t need to be thanked for that. We don’t feel like suckers’ Donald. We want you out of our house!! Vote vets!!!

    1. @dean langloss And now your life is decided by unverified anonymous sources. You weren’t a sucker then but you sure are now.

    1. @Yousavedbro Heaven Bound … you have proof of biden supporting looting and murdering? or is that just unproven allegations with no base in reality?

    2. @Chris C none of which were named, chris. also, last i checked, we’re up to 10 witnesses now who all deny that he said those things.

  2. This from the same “news” media defending the 8yo drag queen (Desmond is Amazing), California bill SB145 and refusing to condemn those on Epstein’s flight logs.

  3. These so-called “sources” need to grow a pair and go on record with these accusations. Every time a scandal comes out about Trump, it’s always “a top white house official” or “someone close to the president” and never a name. Then all Trump has to say is “it’s fake” or “it’s a hoax” and everyone believes him and the story loses traction. The story loses credibility when people like John Bolton, who dislike Trump, say it never happened.

    1. @Keenan Rogers Bolton was with the president for the event and wrote about it in his book. He said he didn’t hear those words used. Close enough to a denial, you’re splitting hairs here. I think we’ve said all that needs to be said on this.

    1. This is how Trump and Nazis 2.0 as well as Nazis 1.0 operate. Facts don’t matter. It’s what they want to believe.

    2. @alex carter Yeah, that’s it, blame the nazis (don’t forget the russians) as the media plays you like a fiddle

  4. “it fits” is the standard used to convict in every court in this country. Guilty until proven beyond a doubt innocent. Unless “it fits” then guilty for sure and off to prison. Ben Franklin used to say this every week.

  5. There is one simple, single word wrong with this. It fit’s with what you “think” about him. This is not resonating with anyone other than the people who already hate him.

    1. @Story Gordon : US Senate Intelligence Committee has just issued its report approximately three weeks ago. It’s in all of the news outlets. Just Google it. It details the Russian interference and the Trump campaign officials eager cooperation with the Russian GRU (KGB) agents. It also details some of the ‘romantic’ liaisons of Trump’s with a couple of women in his prior visits to Russia. It’s there, although some of the even more damning aspects were redacted. This is what the US Senate should have done publicly three years ago during the Impeachment Trials instead of shutting it down.

    2. @Frances Hixenbaugh : You’re a prime example of a Trump Cult Follower. You believe Trump’s lies and then you’re a liar yourself making up stories along the way. Read the US Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the Russian tampering on Trump’s behalf investigation. It corroborated Mueller’s report and then some. It even details events of Trump’s ‘romantic’ liaisons with 2 – 3 Russian women during his previous visits to Moscow. These were investigated as this is a tried and proven method used by the Russian KGB/GRU agency to entrap US citizens in order to compromise them. The report headed by US Senate Republican-led majority was released approximately three weeks ago. Facts.

    3. @Diane d’Lune – Thanks, I did read it when it was issued. Of course says it’s a withch hunt. I think they found more warlocks than witches.

  6. This coming from someone afraid to show rnc claiming you couldnt show lies. You should have just said we cant show you this speech cause it points out our lies.

  7. You know I was expecting people in the comment to simply believe allegation without proof, but it seem more people learned from the Covington case and the Bieber lawsuits that making things up to fit a narrative does not always work

    1. @Avery Brooks you know Woodard was anonymous right? And vast about of anonymous sources are how we get information that are confirmed credible and identified by reporters. You just want to keep your head in the sand because you know you are on the wrong side of this. You don’t know what anonymous means in news reporting. You just believe what your lying President tells you. All you can do is deflect

    2. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu you saying the Atlantic is pro antifa just shows your bias and your rejection of reality. New outlets have their own sources tha backed up the claim. It was not just repeating it like you want to believe. Even fox news own sources confirmed it.

    3. @V V I see. So, we are suppose to take the word of a “publication”, especially a “publication” that has been part of the “resistance” on its word. ESPECIALLY, when there are on the record individuals who state the contrary. When there is an accusation to this extend, the person (the so called “annonymous”) should go on the record, and excuses such as “I don’t want to get bad tweet” is just idiotic.

    4. @V V Erica Kose , the salon owner who showed Hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi, just like the hypocrisy of Chicago mayor, went on record and she lives in San Fran Stinken cisco, IF Erica can do it (go on the record) why can’t the Atlantic’s (so called) “annonymous” sources !!! ? and s/he must be living in Washington DC.

    1. devildogroot my bad, I’m interested in your opinion here. As a citizen, I have a great amount of respect and admiration for those who serve for our country. Therefore, I care about what others think and say about veterans, as I wouldn’t want a president that didn’t respect those who serve as much as I do. When I said that none of the clips had context, I’m referring to the fact that I find it difficult to find that Trump would say such things, and because the clips have nearly no context, it was hard for me to form an opinion based on information given to me.

  8. 11 confirmed – 4 anonymous . . . you lose again. Thanks for playing – there will be no participation trophies.

    1. That’s not how it works though. If you commit a crime you can get your family to deny the crime as they are biased, but only one witness to convict you. if you have one case maybe but 4 cases and a history of disparaging soldiers should indicate that Trump did say this. He should swear oath he didn’t.

    1. @BDiana9909 : Trump has not built up the military per se. He has built up the military business companies by awarding contracts worth $Billions to them. The money did not go towards military pay raises or to the VA. As a matter of fact, there have been VA hospital closings and a portion of the funds was siphoned off to build the problematic wall. A wall that can be cut down, etc..all for show to appease his Cult Follower Base. The propaganda is from Trump, the world famous pathological Liar.

    2. ​@First name Last name Trump’s niece would be the white sheep cut out the will rather than the black sheep but nonetheless Trump’s sister, party to will issues, in those recordings reveal by the white sheep clearly indicate lil spoiled donnie stayed pat to become big fat con donnie. Come on now, daddy showered donnie with money from the day donnie was born until dad kicked the bucket and afterwards in inheritance to include bailing donnie out of several bankruptcies.

      That “racial jungle” you talk about in part was perpetuated by the likes of donnie from his dad when they sought to deny certain people to rent from them of which the Justice Department sued the Trump’s and the case was settle. It was Donald J. Trump who jumped on a soap demanding the execution of the five blacks in the sad Central Park case even after the accused were completely exonerated. So fork you fellow and your concern about only your kids….

      And finally Trump on what he is best at, Don says:
      “..Nobobdy is stronger than me…”
      “..Nobody has better toys than I do…”
      “..Nobody is bigger or better at the miitary than I am…”
      “…Nobody loves the bible better than I do…”
      “…Nobody builds walls better than me…”
      “…Nobody is better at dealing with those with disabilities than me…”
      “…Nobody is fighting for the veterans like I am fighting for the veterans…”
      “…No one has done more for equality than I have…”
      “…No one is more pro-Israel as I am…”
      “…No one is more conservative as me…”
      “…No one respects women more than I do…”
      “…No one will be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump…”
      “…No no has had crowds like Donald Trump…”
      “…No one understands the horror of nuclear better than me…”
      “…No one understand devaluation better than me…”
      “…No one understand the sale of uranium better than me…”
      “…No one understand trade better than me…”
      “…No one understand infrastructure better than me…”
      “…Nobody knows the visa system better than me…”
      “…Nobody understands more about politicians than me..”
      “…Nobody understands more about taxes than me…”
      “…Nobody understands more about debt than me…”
      and “…No one understands the system better than me…”

      Do you understand that we elected a very dangerous narcissist to the highest office in the land and let him loss to “NARC”!!!! No, you don’t understand anything, just like Don….

    3. @Day Walker he never was handed one of daddy’s business’s that he didn’t bankrupt…..and never met a wife he didn’t golden shower….it’s in their contracts….human swill they manage to get a tie on every morning

    4. @Diane d’Lune The portion of the wall built by that Steve Bannon outfit with donated funds to one of Trump’s buddies is falling down after just a year built.

    1. lol, good for Kamala playing dirty politics. Politicians act like politicians. Maybe she leveled up and act like Republicans. It is the stupid voters that can’t distinct what are facts, what are tactics. Beside, I love seeing all these republicans acting like a bunch of sjw bernie bros. Just show they are cut from the same cloth.
