    1. @Roy Rodgers good one, list with new additions, what do you think?
      “If we had no testing, we would show very few cases.” -The President of the United States of America’s.
      if we had no pregnancy tests we wouldn’t have any pregnancies
      If we had no unemployment statistics, we wouldn’t have any unemployed people.
      If we had no police, we would have no criminals.
      If we don’t go to the dentist, we would have no cavities!
      If there were no morticians there’d be no dead people
      If we had no night, there would be no day.
      If you don’t think, you will have no problems
      If you don’t have a mirror, you aren’t really here
      if People had known better, they would not have voted for Trump.
      If Trump were not president, government would be run by people who knew what they were doing.

    2. “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden

    1. “China, Russia ‘Capable’ Of Election Interference.”
      Brennan will soon be going to prison for that very thing and for trying to topple a US president. Perp walks coming very soon. Popcorn is ready, beverage in hand.

    2. Oh I see the Russian trolls and the Q anon quacks are thick in the comment section already

    3. @Major Minor I’ve heard that Trump keeps a pair of Ivanka’s soiled panties in the top drawer of his desk, in the Oval Office. He likes to reach in and touch them, whenever he’s feeling unhappy.

    4. @Tessmage Tessera <<< I've heard that Trump keeps a pair of Ivanka's soiled panties in the top drawer of his desk, in the Oval Office.<<< Thank you for demonstrating the psychotic thinking of democrats. You nut bags are priceless.

    1. @GoT fan 2320, I prefer one who doesn’t sell the USA out to China, Ukraine, etc. I really don’t care what a Marxists thinks. You don’t count. How about I knock that chip off of your shoulder, comrade?

    2. @Bellator Juanky so you will be voting Blue, remember, not just Joe, but all the Dems, important to flip the senate.

    3. @GoT fan 2320, I’ve never voted for a Marxist in my life and never will. I take down Marxists, miss. You’ll learn after November 3rd. You can run but you cannot hide. Your proverbial azz is mine.
      PS. As long as DJT is at 47% approval on election day, we’ll easily retake the House and likely a +1 in the Senate. (Note: DJT is currently at 48% and trending upward). I suspect he will be back at 50+ on election day.
      Tissue, miss?
      Tampon?

    4. ​@Bellator Juanky ohhh, your voting for Trump, you confused me when you started talking about Marxists, because you know, its a fact that Trump owes both Putin and Xi tens of millions of dollars that he borrowed from their Banks, of course they’re not Marxists they’re really fascist dictators. Why didn’t you just say that you want to be ruled by a fascist dictator? Of course there is a certain Homosexual, sado-masochistic thing involved with that whole movement and you are probably just too shy to come out yet, but hey, consenting adults and all if that’s your thing. Though its not looking like its going your way, what with all the dead people, and the economy so messed up, because, you know, Trump, really, I mean really dropped the ball, and what with 45 million people unemployed, well, its looking like a pretty near thing at best for you, and I don’t think you have 47 per cent anymore, just barely peeking at 31. you may have to content yourself with just playing pretend in your basement. Maybe you can find someone to make a uniform for your Ken doll. All the best and kiss kiss

    5. @Gwendolyn Williams I am pretty sure that Sal is a bot, he only has two simmular comments that just keep popping up everywhere in the thread. any way just ignore him. after awhile they will create another, but you have a really good day.

  1. Meanwhile, Putin’s asset in the Oval Office STILL hasn’t uttered a word about the bounties that Putin has placed on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan. And he never will.

    Trump has abandoned our troops the same way he has abandoned our states to deal with the coronavirus.

    1. Trump has broken the social contract with the american people. He has unleashed an assault on the American people that includes our soldiers

    2. “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden

    3. You surely do not think that Draft Dodger cares about our wonderfull Men and women in the service of our Country do you?All he cares about is himself.

  2. Trump likes heroes who WEREN’T captured.
    I like Presidents who WEREN’T Impeached.
    🇺🇸BIDEN 2020🇺🇸
    🙂

    1. And I like a president who didn’t throw us black people in prison with the BS crime bill and call us super predators

    2. hope you also speak chinese because we will be under their authority if biden wins. so
      I hope you dislike Trump enough to watch this country fall, because it will with biden as president with his policies he has put forward. And that not politically biased thats reality… so you better dislike trump tweets enough to lose your freedoms and your country. Or hold your nose vote Trump and make changes in 4 years. Hope your kids like communism and speak chinese and like being told where to live, how many kids they can have and only if its a boy, hope you like getting your rice ration weekly to live on because thats reality if Trump doesn’t win.

    3. “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden

    4. @Dearl Hardy

      Hope you can speak Russian since Frump is Putin puppet
      Don’t remember China paying any bounty for dead American soldiers

      And China already owned America the bible say the borrower is servant to the lender we owed China they don’t owe us

      Where do you think “your lying multiple times bankrupt Toddler – in- Chief”. Got the $1.5 Trillion dollars from that he gave to his friends and want to be friends as a tax break..

      Name me one time when Biden was VP that he met with China alone or tear up the transcript after meeting with Chinese official alone in, what used to be the white house now the (mob house) as frump did with his trainer lord Putin enforcement officials. Without any Americans reporters

      I am beginning to believe you are a Russian no American
      Can Be So DUMB

      The only thing we are leading in under this Lying fool is number one in.

      (1st) In Covid injection

      He promised to do for American what he did for his businesses multiple bankrupt businesses now we/Americans are bankrup. ” we owe China”. We are paying him to protect him at his golf club.
      Every thing frump touch DIES

  3. In 2015, Western European intelligence agencies began picking up evidence of communications between the Russian government and people in Donald Trump’s orbit. In April 2016, one of the Baltic states shared with then–CIA director John Brennan an audio recording of Russians discussing funneling money to the Trump campaign. In the summer of 2016, Robert Hannigan, head of the U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ, flew to Washington to brief Brennan on intercepted communications between the Trump campaign and Russia..

    The contents of these communications have not been disclosed, but what Brennan learned obviously unsettled him profoundly. In congressional testimony on Russian election interference, Brennan hinted that some Americans might have betrayed their country. “Individuals who go along a treasonous path,” he warned, “do not even realize they’re along that path until it gets to be a bit too late.” In a 2017 interview, he put it more bluntly: “I think Trump is afraid of the president of Russia. The Russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult.”

    In July 2016, a loose-knit community of computer scientists and cybersecurity experts discovered a strange pattern of online traffic between two computer servers. One of those servers belonged to Alfa Bank in Moscow and the other to the Trump Organization. Alfa Bank’s owners had “assumed an unforeseen level of prominence and influence in the economic and political affairs of their nation,” as a federal court once put it.

    The analysts noted that the traffic between the two servers occurred during office hours in New York and Moscow and spiked in correspondence with major campaign events, suggesting it entailed human communication rather than bots. More suspiciously, after NYT reporter Eric Lichtblau asked Alfa Bank about the suspicious communications between the two servers, but BEFORE he brought it up with the Trump campaign, the server in Trump Tower shut down. The timing strongly implied Alfa Bank was communicating with Trump.

    One big unanswered question is why were Trump and his people having so many interactions with Russian officials and Russian operatives during the campaign? They were having more interactions with Russians than Americans.

    On April 18, 2019, a redacted copy of Mueller’s report was released to the public. The Mueller report builds on the U.S. intelligence conclusion that there were two campaigns to elect Trump— one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. The Mueller report clearly identified connections between the Trump campaign and Russia…

    A total of 272 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives were identified, including at least 38 meetings. We now know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers had or were at least aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself, Don Jr, Manafort, Flynn, Jared, Papadopoulos,  Rick Gates, and Roger Stone, just to name a few. But what’s worse, is the fact that they all lied about these contacts. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover them up, every single one of them..

    The question every American should be asking is why were there so many contacts(272) between Trump’s people and Russian officials and operatives, and why did Trump and his people lie about those contacts?

    1. @Connie sue adams Adams , No, Marxist Ioser, he is a Iiar. Not the same. You are obviously a very gullible person and definitely not smart.

    2. @Connie sue adams Adams So do a majority of American and 100% of patriots. Tissue, miss?
      Tampon?

    3. @Forrest Trump Keep punching air with his Marxist, European, tiny hands. He hasn’t got a link because it is 100% buIIshit. I have the links to prove everything I say. Suggestion: Stay in Europe. We don’t want or need you Marxists in the USA. Your revolution ends on November 3rd. Afterward, we are coming for YOU.

  4. Don’t expect a response from Atgolf Twitler he likes to demean and ridicules US Intelligence Services and sides with Putin and Russia against America.

    1. @NIN JAH Can’t say the same for you Disinfectant Donnie Disciples full of alternative facts and full 💩

    2. @Asher Dog 😴 Boring Butter cup. Best you follow all of Disinfectant Donnies advice including medical advice, what have you got to lose

    3. @Bono Budju You are completely clueless of the perp walks about to happen. Durham will not issue a report, he is going to issue warrants for arrest. Wish I could see your face once it starts.

  5. Worst than foreign interference is the inside job going on by Trump’s enablers. It’s always harder when the enemy is within.

    1. like the creep in this video… He is the enemy within… and will soon be indicted or so the rumors in DC are saying…

    2. “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden

    3. The #communist party formally known as the dnc is the #Enemywithin ☠
      Joseph McCarthy was and still is Correct ! !
      Make Mccarthyism Great again 👌💪😎

  6. China hates tRump and Russia wants to keep their asset in the White House…………. hmmmmmm, they may just cancel each other out.

    1. That’s what it looks like. I wish they would both just go away instead and save themselves the time and effort.

  7. I prefer a president who doesn’t keep talking about sleeping with his daughter. Creepy don the con

    1. I’ve heard that Trump keeps a pair of Ivanka’s soiled panties in the top drawer of his desk, in the Oval Office. He likes to reach in and touch them, whenever he’s feeling unhappy.

    2. “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden

    3. @Tessmage Tessera
      Why are Odd little fellas like you so fascinated with perversions…..? !
      Projection much ? !
      Little Freudian studies, seem to desperately cling onto a demented since of morality..?

    1. That’s because Our Government officials accept that help instead of SHUTTING IT DOWN. They can only go as far as we allow them to go. Our Greed will destroy us.

    2. @NIN JAH I’ve heard that Trump keeps a pair of Ivanka’s soiled panties in the top drawer of his desk, in the Oval Office. He likes to reach in and touch them, whenever he’s feeling unhappy.

  8. 😞🤷🏼‍♀️pretty obvious Russia & China are trying to do what Russia & China have always tried to do Destroy America RULE THE WORLD 45s serving up the U.S. on a golden platter

  9. We know that Vice President Biden will have competent people in place to turn OUR country around to the right path and NOT hire family and friends like the current administration!

    1. @Gwendolyn Williams truth hurts the soy blood I know….loosen your man bun in a safe space 🤣🤣😷😷😷😷

    2. @Helene Flamand Yes, those are swell words, Einstein. How about these?
      Dog, spigot, tree, cricket, fence…

    3. Biden, if elected, will empower China and destroy America. Biden may personally be a somewhat reasonable centrist but the “progressive” left will use him to destroy America like the communist-friendly fellow-travelers used LBJ to put America on the road to ruin during the Cold War.

    1. @sal been I’m rolling in the floor. Nailed it. Beijing Biden is a Chinese sock puppet, and democrats all want Chinese overlords.

  10. Let’s admit how often the CIA interferes in foreign elections. It’s called political warfare, and it’s been happening since the first nations and kingdoms. The NSA has pretty good cyber too…
