  1. Our choice this election isn’t R or D, it’s being an authoritarian state or a democracy. Trump is blatantly trying to marshal government resources to attack his opponents – asking Pompeo to release e-mails, asking Barr to arrest Biden, having McConnell keep election security at bay, etc………..VOTE BLUE SAVE DEMOCRACY

    1. Not just that…Trump is thinking of and will be working on a third term in office if he wins..If he wins he will have all that it takes in the congress to start tampering with the constitution to that end and to earn him a third term and turning the country into another Saudi Arabia

    2. Honestly?? You must be thinking of the Obama-Biden administration that weaponized the intelligence agency to thwart an election using the fake Dossier dreamt up by the Clintons!! They also perverted the FISA courts and illegally unmasked American citizens!! Learn politics and stop making a fool of yourself on here!

    3. so u have a problem with hillary having the fbi and cia have a lie told about trump so she could deflect from her emails…ur tds is showing..u should get help..and obama knew about the russia hoax…

    4. @Joni M.L. I don’t click on links from unknown sources. Any differences are going to center around semantics. The foundational principles are the same. The people vote for their representatives. You want to use nuance in order to minimize the power the people are supposed to have in governance. That’s just a modest form of feudalism.

  2. Trump starts his get well tour with hits like I GOT YOUR CURE to STAND BY ME from the militia to LOCK THEM UP from the dictators DONT MISS IT tickets on sale

    1. Bidens familt history has been exposed. Not only is slave ownership prevalent in Harris family history but Biden’s as well.

      The cancel culture will ignore i guarentee. They always do. But again it shows the hyprocrocy of the left.

    1. I agree, though the prospect of achieving the 66 seat Democratic super majority required to do so is practically non-existent in this election. It may be achievable in 2022 when the Senate election map will once again favor the Democrats. Since I view Trump’s entire presidency as illegitimate (he did lose the popular vote by 2.8 million) I would argue that if the required super majority came to pass the Senate remove Gorsuch and replace with Garland, and remove Kavanaugh’s seat to Obama, and remove Coney Barret to be replaced by a woman who will honor RGB’s legacy. There are several talented women on the left coasts supreme courts, Justice Kruger of California, Justice Nelson of Oregon, Justice Whitener of Washington state. If you prefer justices with federal experience there is Justice Wright of the US district court for Minnesota, Justice Pillard of the DC court of appeals, Justice Kelly of the Eight Circuit, Justice Jackson from the DC district court.

    1. @JRG2733 and what has the monster done wrong for america..dont include the lies that the dems have told..go for it

  3. I applaud the dicipline of the Dems, but let’s see how effective that is against a group of people who have no shame and keep changing the rules back and forth to benefit themselves.

    1. Keep changing the rules. LMMFAO
      Biden will try packing the Supreme Court. Biden will try to give DC and PR electoral votes or get rid of electoral collage all together.
      Whos changing rules to suit a party??

    1. Bidens familt history has been exposed. Not only is slave ownership prevalent in Harris family history but Biden’s as well.

      The cancel culture will ignore i guarentee. They always do for Progressive leftist. But again it shows the hyprocrocy of the left.

    1. G Eak – whataboutism flipper:
      Donald Trump blames Gold Star Families for giving him Covid 19‼️🦠👿🤡🦠👿🤡🦠👿🤡🦠👿🤡💩

  4. It doesn’t really matter though. Dems need to fight dirty, just like Republicans do, otherwise status quo.

    1. Are you trying to say that Democrats don’t fight dirty?? Are you 12 years old? The Democrats are the epitome of “dirty”.. trying to thwart the 2016 election, trying to destroy Kavanaugh, the unconstitutional impeachment, Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas ring any bells? You are an uneducated puke that watches too much propaganda spewed by the Democrat election committee ie; the MSM! Get an education!

    2. K. McKee That is a valid point but you don’t stand a chance to win when you bring a knife to a gunfight. The republicans all need to be voted out.

    3. @J Els really? Give me a reason all Republicans need to be voted out? Here are some reasons to get rid of the Democrat party all together: the party of the Confederacy, slavery, the KKK, Jim Crowe, LBJ, Hugo Black, Woodrow Wilson, Robert Byrd (a KKK kleagle eulogized by all the Dems in 2014) Bull Conner George Wallace, and the segregationist ole Joe Biden! Today it’s the party of anti-American, anti-Semitic, marxists such as Ilan Omar, Rashida Talib, Alexandria Cortez, and Bernie Sanders. And the list goes on with all the full throated racists in the Democrat party! Should have been destroyed after the civil war. The same old party of hate and division is the same now as in the past, just different actors! The party has been a disgrace since it’s inception!!

  5. VOTE BLUE IN NUMBERS TOO BIG TO RIG!!!
    💙💙💙💙 BIDEN/HARRIS 💙💙💙💙
    🌊🌊🌊🌊 BLUE TSUNAMI 🌊🌊🌊🌊

    1. YES! Spoken just like Glenn Kirscher himself…LOVE him and how he speaks the truth! 🔥
      BIDEN HARRIS TRUE BLUE💙

    2. Go back to your civics class! Socialism is NOT Democracy!!! It robs people of their freedom!!!! And it has destroyed the middle class in every country that’s tried it!!!!

  6. True, let’s admit we Can’t control this but after Jan 2021 we can
    Add Judges to the Supreme court
    DC + Puerto Rico become states
    End of filibuster
    Universal healthcare
    .
    .

    1. @Bryce Management yeah, I am def NOT better off, and those that are? DEF not better off than big business like amazon. Now THEY made a killing off the pandemic. Don’t care what color you are, unless it is red vs blue.

  7. Has the virus ever disappeared during its spread in America? Has the virus infection stumped or flattened ever since February/March? Has the death toll not risen ever? Is the virus still believed to be a hoax after 215,000 dead? We have a vaccine for the common flu, so is this virus just like the flu as Trump claimed in his televised speeches. When have we ever let the virus dominate our lives, it comes in (uninvited) & it takes over, we never let it relent or dominate our lives. We have to fear it because it kills, and shows us that it can. It is far more deadly than the flu. It is airborne and we can ingest it into our bodies just by breathing in a sneeze from someone nearby or someone spewing droplets as they talk.

    1. I believe he wants her to represent his interests on both issues as well as his returning financial hearings. He’s shown us continuously he’s transactional and throughout that he’s always attempting to strategically subvert anything or anyone that exposes him.

  8. Except for Trump’s* plan to have the Supreme Court make him president

    #TOOBIGTORIG. Biden/Harris 2020
    VOTEVOTEVOTEVOTEVOTEVOTEVOTEVOTE

    1. Correct. Except in the case of Al Gore when, for some reason I can’t remember anymore, who the winner was was under question. It was taken to the Supreme Court and they decided Bush won.

      So, if Trump* loses, and he can’t manipulate the Electoral College, then he might take the matter to the Supreme Court where, with this last judge they are pushing through, he along with Moscow Mitch have been packing the court. So, theoretically, with three Trump* appointed judges and a majority of conservatives, they should vote in favor of Donny Do Nothing all Day* no matter what the evidence shows

      Ain’t life grand?

  9. Here’s the schedule for Presidential Election 2020.
    Early voting: Tuesday 10/13 to Friday 10/30.
    Election day: Tuesday 11/ 03/20.
    Each State may have a slightly different schedule.
    ( Some States already started their early voting).
    The point is , we have plenty of time to get to the polls to vote.
    Don’t wait till the Election day since it will be crowded and long lines.
    If you receive your ballot thru mail, pls, bring it to the polls to vote.
    Don’t let them steal your vote!!!
    This is the most important election in American history.
    VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!
    Voter ID and Vote in person.
    And make it an American pride 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪.
    USA USA USA USA USA.
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  10. If they are going to ban a woman’s right to choose and birth control, Men especially old Dudes should be banned from using Viagra and getting a vasectomy.

    1. @Alex Hamilton Ban it all. Sperm contains single cell organisms with chromosomes. Birth control has to go then Condoms and Vasectomy should go to. Viagra has nothing to do with health. Its for old guys who can’t get it up. Ban that too

    2. @Randall McCollum with 6 Catholics on the Supreme Court it could happen. Which is why we need to open the court to people of more diverse backgrounds. Maybe more protestants and people that attend public universities.

    3. @Alex Hamilton In fact. All those babies will need a place to go so there should be mandated foster care. Sort of like the Draft

    4. How about they are only allowed to have girls as children, how about that! Let them be ruled. No boys for you!!

  11. Why is it always the republicans who love talking about personal freedom and liberty, seem to also be the people trying to impose their own religious beliefs on the rest of us? 🤔
    Seems a bit hypocritical, no? 😅😂🤣

    1. Alex Hamilton have you been living under a rock? Have you not seen the blatant pushing of extreme Christian dogma into politics and in American life?

  12. GOP Senators: ‘’Those mean democrats are attacking Barrett on her faith.’’

    GOP Democrats: ‘’Let’s talk about the ACA’’.

    1. @Sun dial All of the judges picked by the Republicans belong to a club called the Federalist Society. That is bias. There are many brilliant judges who do not belong to that club. We shouldn’t have any more catholics on the Supreme Court.

    2. @KataGan
      All the Judges picked by Democrats are activists and some are Socialists
      But i don’t have a problem as they can pick who they want..just as GOP can also pick who they want…Scotus should NEVER be subject to tokenism…….😎

    3. This media network (MSNBC) is a fraud! Bunch of corrupt activists for the Democrat party. They are frauds.

    4. @miamirocks2010 You just dismiss the fact that so many on MSNBC have been Republicans and will probably return when the current regime implodes.

  13. Numbers do not lie!
    Trump’s ‘ Badge of Honor; (American Carnage):
    – Over 214,000 Americans killed, and going. ( Over 7.6 million infected)

    3. Worst pandemic since 1918
    4. Over 22,000 lies,and accelerating( Avg. 17 lies daily since inauguration)
    5. Over 5,000 obscenities,swearings,profanities, and vulgarities
    6. Worst ever contraction of economy in HISTORY. GDP down by 32.9% annualized., second Qt 2020
    7. 279 days Golfing at his own commercial properties ( 1 out of every 5 days in office)
    – Cost to tax-payers : 141 + Million dollars, much going into his own pockets
    8. A poster-boy for 7 Deadly Sins,and revels in breaking all Ten Commandments.(AKA Evangelical Jesus)
    9. 40 Million families on the verge of Eviction.

    As Sep. 25, more than 29 million Americans were collecting some form of unemployment insurance. That figure was up more than 2 million from the previous week.

    Trump’s Trade War Will Cost Average Family $1,277 This Year, Budget Office Reveals

  14. There is no reason for the Democrats too get upset in the hearings. They can’t stop it!
    But in November Trump and some of his Trumpsters are gone!! Vote them out! Also Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham!!!
