    1. Wiebe Suive and James Mack, if someone is making fun of a polatiyion just leave em alone, don’t be cyber bully.

    2. You can see the scar on big Mike’s neck where they shaved the Adams apple down, what a horrific ugly piece of humanity but he gots a big tally whacker 🥒🐎🐔😇

    3. @Kip Lip I travel all over the country, and see Trump signs every where. I have never even seen a Biden sign.

    1. @John Tomasik What about how low you set the bar concerning your sexuality 😳 John?

    2. No offense, but why is she talking? She’s like a military spouse, they assume because their husband serves, it automatically gives them the rank that he has. She wasn’t elected, I’d rather hear from President Obama. She’s what we call in the military a Dependa, and it’s not a flattering word to vocal spouses…

      Jesus said: “My people, you can see how upset the left are when the Senate voted to acquit your President’s impeachment from the House. Based on the track record of the opposition party, you can see how their views come right out of Karl Marx’s play book for total control. You just saw a program that defined capitalism as financial freedom to keep most of what you earned. Capitalism allows innovation and the market place determines which products will succeed and which products will fail. Socialist communism dictates what you can have, and the equality or sameness that the majority will have. The communist leaders receive all the spoils as they become dictators that cannot be removed. Remember what I mentioned before, that the communists keep their subjects under control by starving the masses. The people have no say in their communist government because it is run as a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and Venezuela. I have also told you that this coming election will be a choice between freedom and a communist dictatorship. Be careful how your voting machines work, because the opposition party will cheat any way they can to take over your government. Pray that you are able to keep your freedoms, especially your right to worship Me, and not be controlled by atheistic communists.”

    1. *MUTE ALL RUSSIAN TROLLS-BOTS & TRUMP’S-PUTIN’S REPUBLICAN MAGA NAZI DICKSUCKER’S WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS!!💯👿👿🆗🇺🇸✌😂*

    2. @J M M he did great he tested very high-35 out of 30, i think he had a stroke the day he was taken to the hospital on a sunday.

  1. “Wait til the second term.. No holds bar. Shock and awe. We ll do whatever we want”
    According to miles taylor, trump actually intends to make sure things get much, much worse

    1. MSL…Trump began his career as a predator by abusing women, he’ll end it by trying to abuse a nation.

  2. As long as I can remember I’ve always said to myself, that the first lady isn’t about political affiliation but about class, morals and unity And Michelle Obama has these qualities in spades , and I am a former Republican!

    1. @Greg Inman your response is about as racist and makes about as much sense as the orange man being the president of our country! I live on a lake and I’ve been self-employed for over 27 years and I don’t need any help from anybody financially….. F**k you very much!

    2. THEY ALWAYS HAVE GOTTEN MORE ATTENTION THAN WHITES.. LOOK AT THE NFL. AND BASKETBALL PLAYERS THERE OVER PAID TOO ?? CRY SOME MORE BLACK AMERICANS..

    3. I know this will not make a difference but God created all colors,equally and He does Not Make Mistakes! We are to love our neighbor. Please,stop the hate& division.

    4. @Greg Inman First, White people are the biggest recipients of welfare in the United States. Second, in most of the protests, Black people were not looting. We will talk about looting in a minute. In Portland, a man was filmed smashing in store windows and hanging signs inviting people to help themselves to goods. Nobody did. They just filmed him. It turned out he was an undercover police officer. 😒

      America owes foundational Black Americans – those who are the direct descendants of the slaves who built America – for the $14tn of free labour they received from their ancestors, without recompense. The Founding Fathers knew this debt would come due. They wrote about the implications of not paying the debt. There is no “free money” being demanded.

      If America had given every group of 4 slaves their 40 acres and mule; if America hadn’t destroyed Black businesses and homes every time Black people became prosperous, reparations wouldn’t even be on the agenda. Those slaves got NOTHING. Bupkiss. Meanwhile, every wronged nation was compensated. Black people paid reparations to Jews for the Holocaust. Black people had no role in the damned Holocaust. Ditto every bit of compensation we were made to pay. We weren’t involved but we paid anyway because we were part of the global pact.

      All of this “We didn’t own slaves! We don’t owe you anything!”. Yes you do. You are living in a country built on the blood and bones of our ancestors. You benefit from the foundation of White Supremacy that would ensure that your whiteness put you at the head of the queue. You benefit from everything you stole from my ancestors and from Africa.

      Oh and the looting. America has been looting Black bodies for more than 400 years. STFU.

  3. 2016: Trump said “How bad could it be, what do you have to lose?’

    1. Yeah the experiment election by skin color EPIC FAILURE ‼️‼️ Biden his token clown hahhaha you people are BRAINF’d at birth ⚠️☠️

    1. I couldn’t agree with you more! I didn’t know if I was going to do mail in voting this election or in person, but after all the attacks on the USPS, I feel much more comfortable voting in person! IDC if I have to walk 20 miles in a blizzard, I’m voting!!

    2. @Flynn Arcos I can tell you exactly why I’m voting for Trump. Look at how all the big dogs of this world, all the corporate greed all the controlled media all the lifelong politicians they are all on the same side. The anti-Trump side. He is clearly the outsider, the man to stir the pot and awaken Americans to the theft of our nation by corporate juggernauts and a media apparatus designed to lull us into an awake coma of consumption and emotional manipulation while they ravage the 3rd world countries and steal their resources. America first might sound selfish and self centered but it means that we are going to put American liberties and livelihoods above corporate and political gains. God bless America and God bless President Trump!

    3. I cannot wait to come to USA after jan20 if biden wins. I will come and get my amnesty and when I get it, I will go out and get a gun and start doing what ever I want, and when I am done I will move on to another state, after all I will never be deported because Biden has said he also will end deportations of criminals including ms13. Thank you sir JOE BIDEN for amnesty and letting us do what ever we want in USA

    1. @yogisie so you still believe conspiracy theories? Oh and what about Tara Reade I guess going by you believe all woman rhetoric she is telling the truth then?

    2. @poolplayer poolplayer “So you still believe conspiracy theories”….says person who thinks that Pizzagate and Obamagate are real, and who believes that George Soros is coming for the children. You idiots also believe that the coronavirus isn’t real. You really have no room to talk. Byeeeeeeee❤

    1. Michelle Obama When they go low, We go FISA, Her husband weaponized the CIA, the DOJ, and the FBI and tried to destroy their opponent. The Obama administration is the most corrupt in history.

  4. “We’ve got to vote in this election like our lives depend on this.” — Michelle Obama. Yes, they, do depend literally. Just look at the toll of pandemic.

    1. yes I cannot wait to come to USA after jan20 if biden wins. I will come and get my amnesty and when I get it, I will go out and get a gun and start doing what ever I want, and when I am done I will move on to another state, after all I will never be deported because Biden has said he also will end deportations of criminals including ms13. Thank you sir JOE BIDEN for amnesty and letting us do what ever we want in USA

    1. @Lawrence Harris You really believe that the Obama administration couldn’t find a crime to charge Trump with if they were actually trying to get him?

  5. Love love love Mrs. Michelle Obama! No worries ma’am, “We The People” hear you loud & clear! #VoteBlue2020

    1. Michelle Obama When they go low, We go FISA, Her husband weaponized the CIA, the DOJ, and the FBI and tried to destroy their opponent. The Obama administration is the most corrupt in history.

    2. There is not a president in history that did not make mistakes! But to compare trump to Obama is just craziness! And maybe just maybe a sign that you need to take a very long look at why you really disapprove of Obama!!

  6. “Being president doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are” pretty powerful statement…

    1. Thad Cunningham .. Yeah, not her words, but top marks to her speech writer.. anyone who can read can be made to look good.

    2. +Thad Cunningham- Yes, and what it revealed is he’s a sociopathic lunatic con man who behaves like a 3rd grader!

  7. As a life long Dem I feel elated this morning! Feeling hopeful after Michelle! #Vote Blue up and down ballot

    1. Rino Ponce Cuomo lied. He killed thousands of senior in home care facilities and he denies it. Liarsss

    2. me too I cannot wait to come to USA after jan20 if biden wins. I will come and get my amnesty and when I get it, I will go out and get a gun and start doing what ever I want, and when I am done I will move on to another state, after all I will never be deported because Biden has said he also will end deportations of criminals including ms13. Thank you sir JOE BIDEN for amnesty and letting us do what ever we want in USA

  8. My job laid me off, a family member of mines caught covid-19 & Trump is talking about getting rid of Obamacare at a time when i need it most. This is what makes America Great Again?

    1. @Ralph Boyd but I will poop on your face November 3rd. Hahahaha 😂🤣 hahahaha 🤣😹🤣 hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha 😅🤣 hahahaha hahahaha 😂😂😅😂😹😂😆 hahaha 😆

    2. @Obilon Kenobi Obamacare which President Trump has pooped on is the worst thing ever happened in American healthcare. My premium on Obamacare tripled. You are so stupid and you drink Obama Kool-Aid everyday you would never understand that he was absolutely the worst leader in history. There are book loads of facts to back it back this claim.

    3. I’ve been unemployed for 8 years because of racism, homeless for 2 years, friends and family are divided and torn apart for political differences, had a heart attack, had a mental breakdown, attempted suicide, locked up in psychiatric mental lock up hospital for 4 weeks. This is a crazy and difficult time we are all living in! Have faith and hope! America and things will get better! God always wins! First, we need to get that orange maniac out of the office! 😊👍

    4. @kingtut777 What state do you live in? How the states put the policies of the ACA into practice varied wildly. States like mine, (California) which fully implemented Obamacare was a very different set of circumstances then states that refused to allow Medicaid expansion and so denying people the assistance the program was designed to offer. My premium was a little more than half what it had been before and there was no change in my Kaiser Permanente coverage which I was a member of before and after. But do understand that it was very different when the Governors and statehouses of some states intentionally denied the expansion which was a part of the bill intended to make it possible to cut your premiums.

  9. Such a compassionate, intelligent naturally beautiful (not a Barbie doll perfected by plastic surgery) woman speaking eloquently truth to power.

    1. Spay Um I just miss the Obamas they represented America well, unlike now we’re literally the LAUGHING STOCK of the world…

    2. 2Legit 2BReal I’m sure President Obama and Mrs Obama sent out a prayer to that child’s parents. At least Mrs. Obama didn’t wear a jacket saying “I DON’T CARE” while visiting a detention center where children were torn from their parents, and being supervised by UNQUALIFIED STAFF…

    3. Shant Safarian more than likely the Obamas did pray. Every good leader understands there is a necessary evil that must take place for the greater good, and unfortunately there will be collateral damage. When the collateral damage is happening you feel like your insides are being violently ripped apart, because you’re acutely aware of what those people are going through and trust me it will f*@k you up mentally for a minute…
