      The Trump Family is more corrupt than The Biden Family is .
      I used to be a fan of Trump when he ran the Miss Universe Organization and let me tell you that in following him in his time with the Miss Universe Organization I found that The Trump Family has done more international business than the Biden Family could even hold . Second , Once again , even after continuing to get reviewed and reviewed , etc . they continue finding nothing wrong done by Biden or his son Hunter Biden .
      Third , even after Trump getting impeached and surviving impeachment over this mess Rudy and Trump continues to attempt to rehash this same stuff to hide the fact that they are virtually in trouble in New York over Trump’s hiding his Tax Returns and Rudy aiding Trump .
      Again , people do not care about somebody’s laptop or what’s on it compared to ending this COVID-19 life of uncertainty .

  1. Told ya there would be DANC’N ‘N in the STREET .. JOY as we prepare to say BYE-BYE to the trump regime.

    1. We will chant “YOU’RE FIRED‼️” while wearing a giant foam finger pointing to the White House on November 3rd.
      👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 YOU’RE FIRED‼️‼️

  2. Excellent now that’s the way to vote dance off love it stay safe and strong now that’s democracy doing what you like doing best good luck America. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍stop voter suppression can’t believe in 2020 this is still happening so much joy watching this.

    1. @Donee Stoner for sure it is the circle of life I truly believe our grandchildren will be the shining light of the future they truly understand the Science behind future existence of the planet 🌏 and our extinction unlike all the old fossils in parliaments all over the world time for the new guard to start taking over.Stay safe good luck 👍🇦🇺❤️❤️

  3. People are smart. If someone is crazy, and you can not argue with a crazy person. You choose to do something smarter.

    1. @MIKE G Hi MIke! If you don’t like pedophiles, try volunteering or donating to one of the many great organizations that work with law enforcement to help protect children, like I do. You know, instead of voting for the guy who sneaks into beauty pageant changing rooms while underage girls are naked.

    2. @Mike Trites Agree!!👍🏼 That same guy also happened to have his name included with Jeffrey Epstein in a deposition with allegations from a woman from when she was a 13 year old child.

  4. Make sure we all go out VOTE🙏 Vote *”UNITED NEW AMERICA”* 💙
    Vote early in person if possible.
    *-Too big to rig, too many to steal* ..

    1. @Dave Even Putin has pulled his support back on Donald. I think you better take note! 10 republican senators are already talking about a transfer of power and options if Donald refuses to concede when he loses. The writing is on the wall.
      *Get with the program*

    2. @Simon Jones How many minorities cabinet members serve with this administration? I rest my case! That’s the real plantation under King Donald.

  5. We may have up to 80-90 million early voters by October 30 !!! Cmon guys let’s keep this energy going. Vote like your lives depend on it because this time it ACTUALLY DOES !!!!

    1. @SMASHVILLE6217 how many of them would not be with us regardless. how many were over 85 and likely to die of something this year anyways. of the 665,000 americans that die from heart disease, how many were reclassified as covid deaths. same goes with 600,000 that die from cancer, 270,000 from diabetes, the 120,000 from alzheimers….the list goes on.

      i am not suggesting that the virus is not serious, that healthy people are dying and or that some may not suffer with long term health issues, however you need to take the stated numbers with the grain of salt.

      also, realistically what do you think the infection rate would have been had the democrats been in charge? most of the covid related messaging, polices and restrictions have issued on a state level. have democrat run states being immune to it all? how is CA going? do they have zero cases?

    2. @Brotha in Beijing Coumo sent infect patients to nursing homes while he left a massive floating hospital sitting empty….all because Trump supplied him the hospital.

      also, covid related policies and restrictions are set at a state level. as they should because what is required for CA and NY may not be suitable for HI

    1. In the off chance that anybody is watching, a voting line is IDENTICAL to the Japanese bon dance. Depends on the area, but it amounts to a line of people stepping to the left stepping to the right, with the whole line stepping forward at the end of each stanza of the song. The only problem I see is that a polling line most of the time would be moving slower.

  6. This IS the way to do democracy. Turn it into a party! A celebration! From now on we will remember 2020 in the words of Charles Dickens. “It was the worst of times; it was the best of times.” And after we get rid of Trump the worst will be in the rear view mirror.

  7. Thank you Defenders, for making me smile in this time of dire sadness and worry. Keep up the wonderful work.

  8. ■█■■■ *Trump: I’m Command in Chief of the world’s most advanced country that I swore on a Bible to protect you from all enemies. But, I really can’t be bothered! Between my golfing, denigrating women and spreading my most amazing germs, so I GAVE UP! YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN AMERICA! If you want real action and less talk, VOTE BIDEN and ALL BLUE!*

    1. @Aquin Febrisio 250,000 what? If you mean people that died from covid then Biden isn’t going to suddenly stop the virus🤷sorry

    2. @Cindy Carroll are you going off the same polls that said Hillary would win?

      Unless you are psychic you do not know, have you never heard of the boy who cried wolf?
      Stfu or else no one will ever believe you😂😂😂

  9. What are they hiding on that guy’s T-Shirt? Something that would, “trigger,” trolls? “Expletive, 2020,” indeed. I made a call for entertainers to make cuing fun for the voters, to stop them from leaving. This is wonderful! VOTE! ✌️🌊🌊🌊

  10. We the People, record turnouts and waiting in line for hours in some cases to exercise their right to vote.

  11. We certainly need some joy through these horrific crisis and chaos! Love this Madam Rachel! I will be dancing when that fool gets out of office!

  12. America get out and vote. Make 2020 *”Too Big To Rig, and Too Real To Steal.”*
    *—Glenn Kirschner*
    *VOTE BYEDON*

    1. I recognized your Kirschner quote but the ByeDon took me completely by surprise. You get a whoop and a holler from me; so clever! Wish I’d thought of it.

    2. @Morgan LeFay I started that a little while ago myself. I’ve noticed others picked that up. But I’m sure others also figured that out on their own too like I did😊

    3. @Erica Espinosa thanks for acknowledging others, its fun being brilliant, isn’t it!…I love sharing the planet with like minded folk
