  1. Conservatives, liberals, moderates, or politically unsure. If any of these people I mentioned sees Trump as a threat, they are our family. Unite against Trump now and work out our differences like adults later.

    1. @Patrick Pyne if by fools you mean the trump troll team then yes. I see you you clocked in right on schedule. Haha

    2. @Patrick Pyne “I feel very confident the United States can repair after one term,” Mr Bolton said.
      “Two terms? I would be a little bit more worried.” John Bolton National Security Advisor. On a Donald Trump second term.
      Mr Bolton also said the President “didn’t really read” his daily briefing papers on intelligence and national security.

  2. After its all said and done Trump will have destroyed the Republican party and the Democrats will control everything in Washington

    1. And so ends America for the rise of the Antichrist who is a flaming keyster sniffer wearing Fluorescent Speedoes with perferated spinnerballs on Bozos bimbo bonanza… Bozos going to blow himself with Banana KY in the jungle gym playpen

    2. ​@John Moorely Intelligence? Integrity? Decency? Oh my, that is laughable if that is what you think Democrats will bring? If they get in then BLM will be calling the shots. They are funding like crazy to get Trump out. I sure don’t want that bunch leading anything. They are destroying our country and the Democrats think it’s find and dandy. I really feel sorry for the little kids, and the wicked world that the Democrats are trying to lead them into. If you think Trump is bad, and the Democrats win, then you will be wishing he was back.

    3. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite WITHOUT HIM, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

      James Mattis, esteemed Marine general who resigned as secretary of defense under Donald Trump.

  3. The Republican party is a criminal enterprise operated and controlled by corporations and hostile foreign entities.

    1. The Republican party will be fine. By preventing the real COVID-19 data from going to the CDC, tRump will ensure that the (official) infection rates will look much better very soon. Another very stable genius solution, brought to you with the faithful support of the GOP. If you don’t believe me, you can just ask Dave Schultz.

    2. PLEASE READ AND SHARE:
      My investigation report on how Trump spent $3 TRILLION ($3,000,000,000,000) stimulus funds that his administration received to combat coronavirus (including $100s of billions for testing, masks and other PPE). Yet 140K deaths, 3.6M infected and 40M jobless!
      Please read to see who got the most of $3 Trillion and for what.

    3. Herb Liptow I’ve never disagreed with Chomsky that Con Don is an omnicidal sociopath. As for the GOP or establishment Dems, if the shoe fits…?

  4. The GOP is pretty much now just a party for greed and power and I’ll watch them abandon the Trump ship when its hit by the blue wave.

    1. @R Thomas Im kinda curious about that answer too.

      “I feel very confident the United States can repair after one term,” Mr Bolton said.
      “Two terms? I would be a little bit more worried.” John Bolton National Security Advisor. On a Donald Trump second term.
      Mr Bolton also said the President “didn’t really read” his daily briefing papers on intelligence and national security.

    2. @Dave Schultz
      You should burn down your shrine to Trump.
      The country is in shambles and Trump is busy selling beans.

    1. @J J You better pray you get Trump, because the Democrats are out to destroy our country. Seems like that is what Democrats want though.

    2. @Mario Lopez Those Goya beans are good! At least a man is willing to stand up and support Trump, who is the best choice after all. Democrats are evil, mean, no morals, no God, Lord only knows how many genders, and they bow to BLM. No one in their right mind would want that.

  5. The Republican Party has supported and enabled a highly incompetent president and covered up his corruption. The GOP will be canceled in a big way on the road ahead 🤔🧐

    1. if they stopped watching fox and watched other channels they would see what is really happening the truth is there to see

    2. @mark kearney It will be a chore to convince anyone who believes that this corrupt con man is the chosen one that this virus is not a hoax. Clueless cult clowns.

  6. The modern day Republican party is now the party of jingoistic, nativist xenophobes.

    1. Dave Schultz pretzel logic. Belligerent ignorance is what you represent. Congratulations, footstool sycophant.

    2. @hankashley Notice that It was Dave who introduced the word _hate_
      Noone else in the thread used it.

    3. @Dave Schultz
      You hear what you want to hear and that’s why you displace blame. You mention the word hate.

  7. The Republican Party today: Putin lover trump, Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey, Kremlin Kennedy, Nikita Nunes, DWI Gaetz

    1. @Dj Sugarbear Its all they have. Today the British government which is an ally to the clown trump that the Russians interfered in the 2019 election

  8. I’ve known it was a lost cause since I was a child in Canada, and NOBODY told me so. My parents never discussed politics with me. All I had to do was look at the jerks infesting the party and I could see it from here. Trump didn’t cause this; the party caused Trump.

  9. Kristol only now realizing that the republicon party is a lost cause. They passed that marker a long time ago.

    1. The funniest thing John Stewart said was: “Bill Kristol, have you ever been right about ANYTHING?”. It was funny because it was TRUE! 💥https://archive.thinkprogress.org/bills-late-father-irving-kristol-my-poor-son-has-got-it-wrong-again-9610efcf0f47/

  10. BE HONEST: Trump is the logical culmination of decades of Republican lies and policies. He just happens to be crazy and has EXPOSED the truth about the GOP.

    1. @Rachel Phelps
      “I feel very confident the United States can repair after one term,” Mr Bolton said.
      “Two terms? I would be a little bit more worried.” John Bolton National Security Advisor. On a Donald Trump second term.
      Mr Bolton also said the President “didn’t really read” his daily briefing papers on intelligence and national security.

    2. @Rachel Phelps In an ABC interviews with Martha Raddatz. You describe the president as “erratic, foolish, behaved irrationally, bizarrely. You can’t leave him alone for a minute. He saw conspiracies behind rocks and was stunningly uninformed. He couldn’t tell the difference between his personal interests and the country’s interests.” When you put all that together, how can anyone come away, after reading your book, and make any conclusion other than that you don’t think he is fit for office?

      BOLTON: I don’t think he’s fit for office. I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job. I don’t think he’s a conservative Republican. I’m not gonna vote for him in November.

    3. @Rachel Phelps What?? where are you hearing that sht? Biden is as moderate as they come. Please stop listening to FOX and buying into all the conspiracies. We are going to vote BLUE this Nov to get rid of the mess you guys have created. Trump the wannabe dictator is out. He is corrupt, colluded with Russia, he has yet to criticize Russia on anything… He favors Russia over our own intelligence agencies. That scares me to death. I am not a marxist, but rather a center of the road moderate democrat. I actually believe we need a strong Republican party to balance the Dems. The GOP right now is as corrupt as they come. We’re going to try to fix that this Nov.

    4. @J FlowIn addition to what you said, apparently TRUMP turn to the Chinese to help him get reelected. As John Bolton states:

      “Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win,” Bolton wrote, just days after former defense secretary Jim Mattis accused the president of trying to divide America.

    5. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite WITHOUT HIM, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society.

    1. @Dave Schultz Republicans’ phony movement to get Democrats to #walkaway from their party was a dismal failure. Now we’re actually seeing Republicans #walkaway from their party, so we might as well put the hashtag to good use.

  11. Our Lord Littlehands is a loser, And for power and votes he will sacrifice American children. The GOP is complicit with mass death potential because of their ignorant greedy angst for authoritarian power.

  12. Good! The GOP has never been able to “lead” or administer because they are too wrapped up in political corruption and self greed!

    1. Right! How about that $1.6 billion deal Trump got from China? Oh wait! That was Joe and crack head Hunter!

  13. I’ve never like Republicans. I consider myself a independent. The last two Republican President have been garbage. Trump and Bush 😠

  14. Ole’ Bill’s right on this – the Republicans need to go back to being just awful instead of horrible and evil…
