In breaking news Trump just made President George W Bush the second worst economic growth president by officially being the worst.
All of you fighting is pointless when arguing with people who voted trump….logic isn’t going to magically appear in this section from them so move on all of your arguments don’t matter
If you go back 80 years it’s a consistent pattern for Republicans. Democrats historically are better with the economy. That’s just a fact. Why the democrats don’t push that fact is beyond me. Instead they let Republicans lie that they are supposedly better economically.
@Zed2205 Very true.
@Coco Crisp
Absolutely correct on Reagan.
And Americans have been fighting for citizen representation ever since.
Reagans presidency started the decline of democracy.
@Cindy Pomerleau Yes Reagan was a piece of chit racist but try and tell that to a Republikkklan.
Trump and O’Reilly. Hard to think of two more disgusting individuals.
Um……Tucker Carlson, Sean Hanitty, Laura Ingraham, the rest of Fox Noise, THE ENTIRE Q-aNUTS & Newsmax, Alex Jones, Mitch McCONMAN, Jim Jordan, Margorie Taylor Gruesome, Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, Stephen Miller, Don Trump Jr, Steve Bannon, Sen. Ron (TINY) Johnson, Joe Manchin, et al!!
Their message will be disgusting too.
Add tucker to that list🇦🇺
@SXI96 number I wasn’t associating Trump with Jesus. Number one . Have ever met Trump? Do you know him on a personal level or do you get your facts from CNN? Oh if anyone’s a degenerate. Biden/Harris and all the Democrat and Rhino politicians that are currently serving in the United States government are degenerates.
Well said
Republicans are gaslighting for funds. Even they know Trump lost the Presidency, House and Senate in one Presidential election cycle. He never won the popular vote.
@New Usurname give half your earnings to the State like a good little slav
@Russell M hi Russell, you seem confused, the comment about getting light into the body isn’t confused with “injecting bleach”,
Donald asked a doctor, on video,
“I’ve heard that disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, maybe we could try something with that, maybe by injection?”
Try again Russell… 😀
@Aliza Kessler Yes, it’s impossible that Trump got 10 millions more votes than 2016.
@j m
Due to gerrymandering
@Music Director Yes both sides do it. Its dumb, wish we didnt have it. Both political parties play to win.
Trump doesn’t sell out stadiums, he prefers to sell out countries.
@Luke_SkyWanker it sounds like Europe has the problem with Russia. I could say the same thing about the cult focusing on Russia. I think you just support the social structure of the ccp. You’re obviously falling right in line.
@Jefryt 67 Actually, I’m not and never have. But you are simply a waste of time, or you’d know that Europe is always strategically important to America’s interests abroad. So, you should go and do some of your own research — original research, not what’s spouted on FOX NEWS, OAN, etc. Try the State Department. They have a lot of info. Also, the CIA shares a lot of information for Americans overseas and American businesses.
@Uriah Heep I was making a joke, man. You’re a heap. Your username Uriah Heep… As to the “hoot” — that’s because your comment was funny and gave me a chuckle. I liked the band. And I like your comments.
@Luke_SkyWanker I don’t get my information from Fox my friend, I get it from true progressives. Not the corporate cronies and certainly not msnbc. The establishment you defend will do NOTHING for you or me.
Like his own.
tRump didn’t just leave office, Americans and democrats told him: “YOU”RE FIRED!”
@Aliza Kessler He lost. Fair and aquare. Those are the facts. People against him because of his unbridled tongue and his manipulation with the post office to get them for voting. Not sure of the reason people voted against him. However, four years of Biden laws are better than 8 years of a stone cold demon possessed lunatic.
To God be the Glory!
@Aliza Kessler Oh WOW, You are good, I see what you did. I forgot about doing that. It was the go to reply in grade 1.
You forgot the “but what am I?” LOSER
@Diane Bannister Setting all other arguments aside — if the Dems rigged the election, wouldn’t they have made sure they had a solid majority in both houses of Congress? Would McConnell have won?
@Aliza Kessler CITE YOUR SOURCES.
@madlen ellul I feel worse for traditional conservatives than anyone else. They currently have almost no voice. I didn’t often agree with them, but I respected people like Colin Powell, the Bushes, and Reagan because they debated rationally providing evidence from respected sources. I have tremendous respect for the Lincoln Project, and I hope they are successful to transforming the GQP back into the GOP.
Trump: My cult candidates will be the biggest, most perfectly beautiful LOSERS to run!

Let’s talk about how “Trump finds waning influence in media” while *YOU* the *MEDIA* continue to give Trump *WANING INFLUENCE* by playing his unhinged rally remarks, and reporting on every statement that he releases…. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m a Democrat, but is MSNBC trolling itself here?
I don’t think drump is even a true republican, I’m pretty sure he is the original rhino.🇦🇺
He was a democrat until a black man became president.
@Jarry Sciligo, yes, I have been dismayed to understand over the years that the Cretin’s and his acolytes’ animosity to President Obama really hasn’t been politics, or greed, or any other such. It was just naked bigotry. They hated having a black man in office. And there are so God damned many of them, the haters.
Exaaaaaactly!!! The irony is so lost on the poor masses following him and it’s really a tragedy.
rino? he’s irrelephant!
; )
He is the king of disinformation, has anyone seen Obama’s birth certificate?, where are Hillary’s emails? Hunter’s laptop? Etc etc 🇦🇺
I’d buy tickets to his sentencing. 🎟🎟🎟🎟
A circus repeating the same acts year after year will not sell tickets.
Why go to see him when you have already heard everything he has to say, over and over again?
Yeah, like this….blah, blah, blah, blah, blah….(take a breath)….blah, blah, blah, and a BLAH!!…..okay, all done here, where’s my money?
LOL
here a shill three a shill ha ha

“A blow to the president.” HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT!
wake up and smell the roses!!!TRUMP LOST AND IS BEGINNING TO LOSE MORE!!!!NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!!
@LD he’s a duck 4 sure
The rest of us remember that= why don’t THEY???
@Larry Richards well said
@Fer Hierro- yeah, we’re in for a long recovery from another Democrat created recession
Their supporters aren’t showing up because they’re all busy asking doctors to save their lives.
@Norm C. When all of you millions of Trumpers are vaccinated, I’ll worry about the handful of immigrants who aren’t. Your immature “what about”isms are more appropriate to a playground than a political discussion.
@hi Thank you, Hi. It’s always good to hear from EXPERTS who WORK IN A FIELD. 😀
@hi Joey potato head has let over 1 million illegals into the country in the last six months. Thousands with Covid and other disease is being very conservative.
Poor Norm. It must be exhausting to live in constant fear and anger. Get well soon.
@D O A handful of illegals? Joey the spud head has let over 1 million illegals into the country in the last six months. Let’s assume that only 5% aren’t vaccinated, even though it’s probably closer to 90% that aren’t. Do the math.
The Orange Pustule is a true American ZERO.
@Bobby Williams What’s more MAGA than having to cash the First Amendment checks you write with your peckerholster by falling back on the Second Amendment. Besides, we both know you wouldn’t have the guts to pull the trigger
@Smiff Mcsmiff pustule! Love it 😍
@Bobby Williams the military hates trump cult because they are the enemy of the country, the cults aim is the country falling apart and the powers that be won’t let that happen. So keep screaming into the ether your are a loud demented minority too loud but too pathetic.
Like the name. Funny
@Bobby Williams keep believing that, cultist.
Trump’s only move is the Big Lie. That’s become boring to at least some maga folks
If only that were true, there would be hope for America
”The election of corrupt politicians act”… he means the right for everyone to really be able to vote and remove partisan cheating mainly done by republicans. Yeah that sure is corrupt….
This is Bootlicker Cruz’s baby…..que the music to Damien…..
Things like this happens when you try to over throw a country, people don’t want you.
🤣🤣🤣 show me a rally with 3 million people for biden, please. But not counting illegal immigrants please 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s why the DEMS will loose all in 2022…
If Trump is the answer for the GOP, they need to start asking different questions
Not necessarily.
“Who is the one figure who will destroy the Republican party?”
On top of all this don’t forget that trump still hasn’t paid most cities for his rally/campaign bills (security – venue – etc). Why would a township want him???
There’s a problem wherever he goes, look at Florida now. They must reject the guy now and be free. Exactly what New Yorkers did
