    1. @thereissomecoolstuff My replies to you are being deleted. Reporting me are you chichens–t? That’s really pretty chickens–t of you. Typical trumper can dish it out (albeit pathetically, but it was an effort) but can’t take it.
      If you want the reply to your earlier post – the one you say I never sent but in fact you were just too stupid to find – then scroll up 14 posts. It appears that it was you who were too chickenshit to reply to me.

    2. @Mike B I haven’t been deleting you. Your comments are typical echo chamber. Nothing new or profound. Just the usual. I did read your comment. Saw you engage with a couple please of others. I had a couple please of comments disappear too in speaking with the person that wants to purge all the fascist Republicans. Hey where is the condemnation for that ideology? Can’t hear you from the ECHO-O-O-O..Hate is hate.

    3. @thereissomecoolstuff It shouldn’t be surprising to you that 10 or 20 or 1000 people all telling the truth would say the same thing. What exactly is a “couple please”
      I’m afraid I’m unfamiliar with that terminology.
      I doubt very much – although I’m not at all surprised to see you go there – that comments are being deleted by some “person that wants to purge all the fascist Republicans” as my comments occasionally disappear and I am clearly not a part of that particular disgusting faction. I rather suspect it’s just a glitch. As I say though, it’s not at all surprising that you would knee jerk into that dubious “explanation” given the republican penchant for both conspiracy theory and victim mentality.
      I’m curious about the rest of your comment, however. You aren’t really suggesting that hatred of, for example, the KKK or the “proud boys” could in any way be equated with hatred of, again by way of example, say BLM are you?

    4. @Mike B couple please looks like anauto correct. I was commenting on something else and didn’t proof it. My comment was you were commenting with another commenter after I’d responded to you. You usually respond pretty quick. I thought you were conceeding the debate. Like Biden should do before they face the greatest humiliation in tbe history of the modern world. As far as the KKK and proud boys statement. I didn’t get that. Are you saying I would protest the BLM like I would the KKK. Or that you want me to be in the “Proud Boys” with you. I want to answer. I just want to be clear.
      One more thing. Why would you think both of us would have certain comments deleted on this thread. A thread about Michigan voting results. I know why I got censored. What if they think you’re a conservative. Ok call me a name and tell me I’m a stupid trumpsters. We’ll get you back on the leftside. Lol

    5. @The Blue Wave I couldn’t have said it better, myself. This wasn’t an election of trump vs Biden or even Democrat vs republican, this was a referendum on trump, period. 77 million people were willing/happy to vote Biden rather than face the specter of another 4 years of trump. Imagine the landslide if the Dems had run a candidate that could truly capture the hearts and minds.

    1. @Liquid Steel You say Michigan and the link says Wisconsin. Pretty obvious both are wrong, and you are a moron.

    2. @Raymond Clouston not, educated do more crimes and incompetence they have chance to screw people more with bigger money , 99% of lawyers no good ,75% are criminals. your dumb

    2. @Atholl Canterbury I say florida and all red states are full of fraud too, check out the red states too because remember when florida went for obama twice not once but twice.

    3. @Atholl Canterbury Heck tRumpet let’s recount the entire election by hand! Guess how that will end up! January 5 Moscow Mitch Susan Collins and Miss Lindsey and 8 other Republicans will lose their jobs turning the Congress over to the Democrats in Senate and House! January 20 the not elected President tRump and Vice President Pence are officially out of office and the Democrats will choose the New POTUS and VP! Be very careful what you wish for! If I were you I would quit while you were ahead with The Senate where it is because there is a chance the Republicans may have a majority in the senate

    1. why? they blocked poll watchers in those counties im a democrat but those votes are unconstitutional. if we win by cheating in this way we will lose our democracy

    1. @joseph recalde as a lifelong Democrat let me just say the only thing that is near its end is this free country.. you now have public servants who were allegedly chosen by the people who are turning around and policing its own citizens. In a democracy it’s supposed to work in the opposite order. They are supposed to work for the people. Not tell them what to think, how to behave in public, who they are to spend holidays with Etc. And worst of all, after they cried broken election system and Russian collusion for 4 years they are now saying the system is impervious to fraud and if you want any transparency or investigation, like they did for four years, you are a racist bigot who is trying to suppress all black people and silence the American people. Yet the American people are speaking and the majority of them are saying foul play at this point. Even black people who voted for Trump! Are they being suppressed and silenced by the media and Democrats? Hypocrisy at its finest. Did you know that as we speak races of all kinds are being censored, having their concerns dismissed by the media and the far left? Let me guess, they’re not ethnic if they’re Republican right?

    2. @Ash Roskell probably because Donald Trump flipped so many seats for the Republicans. The people Trump supported most publicly did the best in elections, while those who opposed him the loudest performed the poorest on average. Yet we are supposed to believe the president himself lost in a landslide to Joe Biden? Yet another statistical anomaly I guess. Is there anyone here who can refute that Dominion voting systems were created with the express purpose of rigging elections for Hugo Chavez and Venezuela?

    3. @Ash Roskell all of us closer to the middle unanimously agree that the only ones disgracing themselves are Democrats who are fighting for the extreme left. Their Monopoly on media and social media is staggering. If they prevail it will be everyone who is being censored a year from now, not just Republicans. I’m a Democrat and I’m censored every single time I say something even remotely close to the middle or Republican

    4. @dozzer009 omfg. Did you not just see the antitrust hearing where Senators grilled social media giants Zuckerberg and Dorsey for censorship? You must be living under a giant rock called the mainstream media. They have been censoring ever since the election and even before then. As I life long Democrat again I tell you, they are censoring our Republican counterparts. Its flat out unAmerican any way you slice it. And then they label anyone who disagrees with them a racist. And saying that every Trump supporter is racist is like saying every Biden supporter loves child murder. You people don’t have enough common sense to figure that out I don’t know what to tell you. Be honest I think most of you know what you’re doing, but a lot of you are just like the extreme left so you can relate apparently.

  1. American people”You know the truth and the will free you” For whoever when someone refuses to admit the truth, he Will eventually sink into the lie until he dies.

    1. @Susan Mann not fairly they blocked poll watchers in those counties im a democrat but those votes are unconstitutional. if we win by cheating in this way we will lose our democracy

    2. @S no they even blocked the windows so they couldnt see in and formed human chains there is over 60 sworn affidavits and in a few instances videos of them doing exactly that

    3. @Jade Fire the blocked the windows so the people outside couldn’t bother them. The Republicans vote watcher’s went inside.Trumpe lawyer in court even said they were inside watching the votes counted.

    1. Keep sticking you head in the sand , like the virus is a hoax and science is wrong and NOT all Americans can be brainwashed by some unhinged liar !

    2. Perry combat vet , the only liar is trump and his gang of trumpanzees. By the way, did we get that check from Mexico for the wall?

    3. @Donald Anderson that wall, is a flop, no doubt, why anyone, would think that’s gonna work,.. Is just AMAZING to me…
      Have you read Joe’s lies, not to mention never 20% completion of promises. Trump is a arrogant, braggert, & exaggerater, for sure..Joe is a blantant liar, professional podium speaker, who has never, had any intentions of doing any promise, never has, why would he now??… Supported by, and supports anti goverment enities, then hides it… Google antifa.. Used to go to Biden’s web page… Not any more, why?… Flip flop Joe..
      Niether of these candidate’s are worthy of being called presidential.
      Sad

  2. No proof, no evidence, no fraud, Trump and Giuliani owe America an apology for the accusations of a rigged elections and voter fraud.

    1. They will never apologize. And it doesn’t matter anyway. An apology won’t change things or bring back the trust of the American people or loss of lives.

  3. Time for Democrats to win… take the gloves off and break out all the dirty tricks… playing the good guy hasn’t worked nor will it… gerrymandering has stifled the voters… enough

  4. Trumps people were just celebrating a minute ago now they are all silent on their Twitter feed they really thought that they were just going to serve us a legal coup.

    1. I love it, just like when President Trump was claiming the election prematurely he also claimed celebration prematurely on Michigan. I think it’s hilarious I bet he flipped his wig when he found that he was wrong and then he glued it back on again.

    2. @I got the music in me His supporters are really funny. When Trump declared victory, they cheered. When the news networks, including Fox, declared Biden the winner, all of a sudden it was “The media doesn’t certify the winner!”

    1. @gone fishing Suuuuure they did! Get off the MAGA crack pipe!
      Living in an alternate universe ONLY happens on a Hollywood sound stage!!

    2. @light it up ok what ever you say, just don’t go riot when you realize Trump will be your president another 4 years 🤣👍

    3. @gone fishing In Re: “There’s more than enough evidence to put Biden away” Ya, right! According to qanuts! You know who puts that asinine wwg1wga wiggawagga B.S. in their posts? Idiots and a-holes, that’s who, idiots and a-holes!

    1. More republicans voted then democrats. Once you toss the dead voters out and the votes where someone voted more then once.

  5. Trump be like: Can I fire this woman in MI who dares to disagree with me?
    Advisers: No sir, You don’t have that power.
    Trump: Why can’t I fire anyone I don’t like? Kim and Putin could do what they want, why can’t I?
    Advisers: Because we are American, sir, and you can’t be a dictator no matter how much you are trying to act like one, sir.

    1. @Keepruvthknight Right. I could see him yelling, “GET ME SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE I DO!!”
      One of the aides leaves the room muttering, “Do they have to be over 8?”

  6. The only reason for these recounts is so Trumputin and Fooly Giuliani can steal the money they are collecting from their stupid base who are funding Squattergate.

    1. I think it’s hilarious that trump supporters are paying Rudy to make a total fool of himself in front of the world. LOL

    2. He is also going to try and get the electorial voters to go alkong with him. trump will continue to put us in arms way until the electorals vote in Dec.

  7. Is there any way to remove Trump from the White House RIGHT NOW? He seems to be getting more unstable by the day. It’s freaking everyone out

    1. Trump was elected 4 years ago,people thought they had found the magic bullet,and Trump was going to do this,do that,the reality is he did very,very little.Now he does not want to leave,even though he has clearly been defeated.Yes,his mental issues can only get worse.
