    1. And since you think you’re so smart, who was the first female Democratic Presidential nominee? And don’t look it up! And who was the first female Supreme Court Justice? And don’t look it up! And where and when was the first abortion clinic originated? And don’t look it up if I smoked crack my dear I would not know more than you I know for a fact you don’t even have that information in the back of your mind so cut the class and get strong with yourself and learn to do some research stop being a puppet wake up I’m trying to help you others wake up the news is lying to you now if you want to wait later the pain will be greater but you’re better off learning now at least someone’s trying to help you SMH SMH SMH

    2. @REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH have a great day! I will always follow right before wrong. If you think “right” is stupid, enjoy your ignorance!! I feel sad for you!

  1. Who would have thought paying workers the bare minimum for the past 30 plus years in an effort to maximizing corporate & shareholder profits would have consequences?

    1. @Holly Baker You are so full of it that it is pathetic. They moved to China not because of taxation which using loopholes they paid very little, and in some cases none. They moved to China for cheap labor and cheap materials, because they want to maximize profits. The cost of shipping those products back to the US probably is about what they paid in taxes. Remember when George Bush gave the oil companies all those windfall tax cuts and we got $4 a gallon gas? Giving them more money does not make them have empathy for their employees. It only makes them greedier. Trump claimed he would not touch Soc. Sec. or Medicare and Medicaid. Yet he tried to get rid of Obama Care which included Medicaid expansion to the states that chose to take advantage of it so the indigent could get healthcare. Now I hear that Dirty Don is proposing a budget to cut Soc. Sec. and Medicare/Medicaid in order to make up for some of the huge losses to the treasury due to his windfall tax cuts for the rich/corporations while dramatically increasing military spending at a time when there are no major wars. Common sense and cognitive thinking? I think you have none. All republicans do is run up huge debt and loot the US treasury for themselves while lying to the people that they do not have to pay taxes for all the benefits they get. Then after the debt gets so ballooned they go about to use it as an excuse to cut those benefits. Ever find a republican that wants the common laborer to get a living wage? Didn’t think so. But they never get enough.

    2. @Holly Baker Let me guess you get your news from Fake Fox. My neighbor gets his news from Fox and told me the other day that the Virus thing was about over and they said more people were getting the virus staying home in isolation than were getting it going out. I went home and heard on the real news that there were 700 more confirmed cases in the state of Louisiana that day. I guess the Trump sunshine shines right down his idolaters throats where the disinfectants can’t reach and kills the virus. Just go out in 90 degree weather with your mouth open facing the heavens for a day or two. If you swallow a little bird droppings it will only sweeten the other BS that you been consuming from the Lying One and Fox. What I remember is WITNESSING Trump saying the Virus was no big deal. It was like the flu and some people didn’t get sick and could even go to work with it. There was only 15 cases thanks to his great response and very soon those cases would be down to zero. I guess the pretender Chosen One of God forgot to consult with his false prophet. 90,000 deaths and increasing. Instead of the great lord that saved the church and the nation, the pretender Chosen One of God brought pestilence and death. Who would have thought?

    3. @Zed Cartwright you just described your CORRUPT lying thieving demorats.
      Pelosi herself said “come to Chinatown
      Its safe” ! 🤭 it’s a fact that Pelosi and her scummys have dealings in china and china makes billions on us and we still pay them millions on top of that because they r considered a developing nation! Right they more developed than we are because the demorats want to give them sooooo much free money and let them make all our drugs! Can u imagine me making your drugs!!🤣 why on earth would anyone( a demorat) give them so much control wen they have proven that they are not always friends? Hmm🤔
      I’d rather my PRESIDENT shake chinas PRESIDENT hand get to know him negotiate with him with fairness than give them free money .Too bad your rampant coyotes you vote for that has american blood on their mangy snouts dont know how to stop spending our money. That’s all ya guys no how to do. Give to all no matter wat unless you rich then you get nothing.. how does that concept even work . We are HUMAN BEINGS we are not perfect we are emotional we are evil👇
      We are liars we are greedy etc….why would people work for government to take and distribute to wat? Other currupt government like the govenor Cuomo . Get ur facts right bud, it was govenor Cuomo that stated 66 % of ny had been confirmed with virus while staying at home. Lol..I cant believe you idiots dont even respect yourself enuff to watch anything else besides your BRAINWASHED FAKE NEWS. You look like MORONS SERIOUSLY.
      Trump never said he wasnt touching “affordable healthcare ” you so ignorant. That was 1 of the things he campaigned with!🤣 you know nothing of it. But I do .Obama did nothing but put us into debt way further by giving anybody snap and medical. Now listen dont block the truth from your little brain. The people that truly needed, like single parents that could only work a certain amount of hrs , not 30 yr old Bob down the road living off his parents too lazy to work.
      So can you do your cognitive thinking skills and tell me wat the result of this was? They cut our snap and medical. Good ol Bob that had no restrictions on working CHOSE not to work cause he get free stuff so he ok took from families with children. Cut services to our medical.. OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP is not cutting from social security checks. Medicare he is cutting from wat the healthcare field charges. So yes hopefully wont hurt my momma and poppa and other senior citizens too much. We can thank OBAMA for that! He really showed he was for the poor and vulnerable !!😁 The best was wen we got fined 750 a yr for the plan not being affordable!☺🖕. I made 22000 that yr , my lowest plan they could offer was 250? With a 200000 deductible? Hahaha. After my Bill’s which was only Bill’s to live no extra I had 300 for the month. Thank again Obama. And 1 more thing about our dear Obama….he signed a bill in 2013 that allows media to propaganda!!! Factcheck.org is a liar and will be taking that mofo lie off the internet. 😎 You have based your values and beliefs on LIES. ….have a great evening!

    1. Work around it….sidestep him and apply common sense and decency in your own life…are you seriously going to stand around and wait for a so-called leader to tell you what you already know to do?! Any US citizen that chooses to be told how to survive this isn’t worth their citizenship! Use YOUR brain!

    1. @Ash Roskell just by reading the way someone types and the words they use can tell you a lot …if your smart enough to read between the lines ..I don’t care who you support but if you’re not a brainwashed liberal you sure sound like one ..and the way you throw out words like boy and son just tell me you probably barely finished high school and if you were in the service it was only to obtain free lifelong benefits…an old bitter and not too bright liberal moron is what you sound like and remember *LIBERALS VOTE BY USING THEIR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS WHILE CONSERVATIVES VOTE BY THINKING AND USING COMMON SENSE* poor pathetic washed up old man lmfao

    2. @Diana Hulstine actually obama is being revealed in new documents as being a criminal who abused his power by directing the FBI to investigate general Micheal Flynn when there was no basis for it …that’s a liar and a traitor and I think even former Presidents like him should be tried for proven treason ..it carries the death penalty so I think they use a firing squad but in obama’s special case I have an old jump rope I don’t use anymore I could donate that maybe?

    3. @Kenny Scivally you know we are done here , you are willing to give up you’re integrity and decency for a career criminal

    4. @snoop alert chicken little. Why would you call me such a childish name ? Oh I forgot you are part of the Trump vcult

    5. @Diana Hulstine if he were a criminal *then he would be in JAIL!!* He’s not because there is *NO crime* liberals have been saying he’s going to jail for years now but you guys KNOW that’s not true .you cannot send someone to jail because *you don’t like them* we are done here because you are dumb and blinded by hate!!

  2. So, Trump is starting to claim that not all these people are really dead.

    Never buy a Norwegian blue parrot from this guy.

    1. It’s both cheaper and better. Every other rich country has universal health care, at an average cost of half A,erica’s broken system and with much better health outcomes. America’s maternal and infant mortality are disgraceful. Life expectancy is lower than most other rich countries, too.

    1. Yeah, Compulsory UBI paid by Workers to Non-Workers then directly into the hands of the $Billionaire Landlords, Grocery Mega- Corp, International Oil Companies, Big Pharma, Detroit Auto, Mortgage Loan Finance Companies _and_ a 28% tax Skim Off to the Satanic Red-Blue UniParty Mil.Gov.Fed Even Deeper Deep State. BRILLIANT! On to Tehran!!

  3. Trump invaded the USA in 2017.
    Completely wiped out the Country in 3 years.
    Truly a genius! Makes Hitler look like a wantabe fascist.

    1. @laura myers I know what the facts are dear ..the only cult is in your mind and your are brainwashed

    2. @Kenny Scivally 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you 14? 15 maybe?? You can’t be grown. Lol

    3. @Kenny Scivally highest unemployment rate may nothing to rave about when one person has to work at 3 minimum wage jobs in order to pay rent and buy food. If the unemployment rate was genuine and reflects real, susttainable work, there would not be such a tremendously long line up to receive free food. People would have lots of savings. Also, the stock market is no proof of the wealth of a country, but the number of homeless people is. The USA has a tremendous number of them. So it’s not really a rich country.

    4. @philomena phanthagia yes it is a rich country ..the richest on earth but you must have enough sense to realize that doesn’t mean *EVERYONE is rich* and you are being misleading because there were *NO* long lines to get food *BEFORE the coronavirus* Plus if you have to work 3 jobs that’s probably because either you didn’t finish your education *OR* you are a *illegal immigrant* same goes for savings ..but the jobs WERE there to get so *DON’T try to tie the way things are economically RIGHT NOW to the way things were BEFORE CORONAVIRUS* it is very deceptive for you to try to do that

    5. @Kenny Scivally all thanks to President Barack Obama hard work and intelligence that traitor trump tries to take credit for. Trump is a fat lazy lying pig that has done nothing but break laws low and will steal every time we have

  4. The difference between now and then is that we had good, competent people leading the way who understood the big picture. What we have now are a bunch of day traders who are so morally depraved and are delusional as they are stupid, frothing at the mouth with lies and with dollar signs in their eyes. If Trump had been president during World War II, we’d all be speaking German and Japanese now.

    1. …wanna good visual for that: Watch “The man in the High Castle” Amazon – prime …. West Coast is governed by the Imperial Japan, East Coast governed by the Nazi’s as if the Allied forces lost the war entirely …. scary interesting take!

  5. Ha ha ha! MARSHALL PLAN & tRUMP? tRump can’t even tie his own 2 shoelaces together or figure out how to close an umbrella properly so how in the World would he Plan something like the MARSHALL PLAN?

    1. Baby dope.. He wont make one. This is a democrats wet dream once again. He will build the economy from the ground up.

  6. It seems time for a new leader to emerge that can simply demonstrate why drumpf’s presidency has failed. I know Amy and Elizabeth can do that, as can Kamala Harris.

    1. @Army of Gog I know what you are talking about, Winston was not a perfect person by any stretch. But he was very determined not to let Hitler have England. He loved his country. I’m not convince that there’s an ounce of that in Trump, plus he’s a pig and a tool.

    1. @Jeremy Blank ” Nah, it’s a country packed with morons. ”
      I think “packed” is an exaggeration. There are worryingly many, of them, though. Generally the Americans (which I’m not) are great people, even many of those mislead Trumpians. Some people are just naive about politics, although they may be clever and wise in some other ways,

  7. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation, start by Health system for all, increase low wage, give a roof for the homeless, give the people a sense of pride. Stop war mongering ! Tax the billionaires. America will be a great nation again.

  8. The only reason we are going through this so badly is we have a totally inept president. We have to weather the virus first. Then tackle the economy and he doesn’t seem to understand that. He does not have the mental capacity to deal with any of it.

  9. Game Over! “The World” – is not interested in “America” anymore. Self Extinction. Americae esse delendam – Cato
