    1. Michael, Dementia Joe does not even have a long enough memory to con or even think for that matter!

  1. Moscow Mitch should have retired 20 years ago. In fact he should have never been elected in the first place

    1. @Bud Fudlacker How is he doing less to manage control than trump whos solution is: Itll go down to five or itll go away or it likely wont’ be a problem through summer or fall and zero deaths in particular on my innauguration day as the newly elected by landslide president. Even if I don’t get all the votes its still a landslide president. Landslide means more votes than the other guy.

    1. @Ungha Bungha oh i forgot to mention trumps interview where they asked him what would he do if he went broke, and guess what he said?……..run for president

    2. People in china wear mask because they are inform and know about the virus but i guess you cannot understand. Are you the one asking to open up lockdown so you can go for a haircut?

    1. @Bud Fudlacker
      Good, we’ve got somebody on the job. He’ll need a helper though, in case he forgets what he’s doing.

    1. the states that are shutting down private businesses and ruining people’s lives need to be accountable for doing this. NY can allow local governements in their state to decide and not shut everyone down. They thin they will be bailed out by the Feds with a blank check.. maybe they will think twice if they know they will have to cut back on their bloated bureaucracies after throttling their state’s economies and ruining lives over this.

    1. @Robert Leonard Pass the word along. I thought most americans who are republicans are arrogantly unaware. These are probably people who would drink bleach if trump suggested it. Tell them to join him in a rally when he does it.

    2. @Anne Liesveld
      Even Hitler, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones had followers that would drink the Kool-Aid ….

    1. @Fred Bogdon
      Go mow the weeds growing up around that car you’ve had parked in the front yard for the last 4 years.

    2. Fred Bogdon
      I’ll remember what Trump said in January 27th and January 26th this is all fake hoax and lies the coronavirus just like the flu that’s going to go away no problem

      February 2nd and 5th he stated it’s all about the Democrats wanting to impeach me so they use a coronavirus as an excuse we only have two or three cases it’s nothing it’s going to go away no problem it’s all fake hoax and lies
      Do you want to use the coronavirus as an excuse to impeach mean

      Fox News being sued Fox News journalist fired for allowing and permitting fake news into the media

      You know coronavirus does not discriminate. Maybe I should hate you and all your receipts down your mouth God forgive me and take you away

    1. Robert Leonard Thats is what Athenian do, we take care of the community. These indecent Republicans do not know how to be appreciative. Their ego had broken out of their 💀 while the average Americans are dying day by day.

    2. @Sam B Not sure that is a fair assessment. As far as income is concerned the two parties are almost equal on average income. Even the top 10 wealthiest US citizens are more liberal than conservative. In the area of charity the conservatives give more than the liberals. As far as being good people, I do not think the conservatives are better than the liberals. I think they are just about the same.

    3. @tom schmidt googling “white couples” brings up interracial couples because basically anytime race is mentioned in coupling is when there is a difference in race between the two members of the couple. white couples are just referred to as simply “couples” more often in media, leaving out race entirely. when was the last time you saw a white couple called a “white couple” in an article? it is not politics in google, it is underlying racism in journalism and society as a whole, the desire to point out racial differences in couples, and keywords in articles being highlighted by an algorithm. it’s not some convoluted agenda to normalize interracial couples (which isn’t a bad thing anyway, unless you are a racist pig).

    4. Blue sates are shitholes of the country. Red states RULE. Cant wait for that fault to slip into the Pacific. Cannot New YOURK be taken too

    5. @Cyril Riceball Actually the state color thing is very misleading. Even states like California, known for being a democrat blue state, has about 1/2 as many Republicans as it does Democrats. Yes it leans toward the Democrat side but there is a significant amount of Republicans living there too. Basically we are a mixed bag of Americans.

  2. Funny, considering Mitch’s home state of Kentucky receives more money from the Federal Government than they pay in.

    1. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu Jesus Christ, dude. COVID-19 is a natural disaster. Hurricanes are a natural disaster. What exactly is is it are you not getting here?

    2. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu for red states, bailouts are the only way they survive. States like Kentucky get way more in federal spending than they put into it.

    3. @Skeave The only question here is: Does Federal government fills the treasury of a local government (i.e NY City) so NY City can follow its “regular” (weirdo) spending, the answer is NO. It has not done before and should not happen now.

    4. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu unless you’re talking about a red state, since they receive more in federal funding than they pay in. States like Kentucky are mooching off of blue states.

    5. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu “Weirdo” spending? It’s a pandemic. They need money to actually get where things were before so we can go back to paying for Kentucky’s methadone clinics

  3. This is why congressional term limits are needed. Gotta stop letting these crazy republicans hold office until they’re 110 years old

    1. Yeah I actually think that was one of Donald Trump’s campaign promises when he got into office. He had a long list of them but one of them was to put term limits on people who are in Congress.

    2. Not only that hes got the nerve to say do nothing democrats when the democrats have 205 bills sitting on his desk to be reviewed and he won’t even debate them hes knocking them down because they come from the democrats so hes collecting money for doing nothing himself hes an old melted candle and you’re right about the term limits a loser is a loser No matter how long of a time limit you give them and where the ones that lose out we pay taxes he puts it in his pocket and does nothing guess what is pension = his pay who else has that

  4. Blue states like California have been bailing out broke red states of the south since the end of the Civil War. Moscow Mitch is an insidious little turtle.

    1. @R Strid millions of TRUMPERS, in the Midwest STATES have died because of opioids .. why don’t we call that a pandemic and shut down New York City, L.A., CHICAGO, ATLANTA, ???
      Why is the Midwest shutting down, supposedly only big cities I’ll be in affected by this flu?

    2. @Black E. Blackerton oh just wait until they get that $2,000 a month LIVING WAGE CHECK and see how many drugs they’ll be on, then they can afford the REALLY GOOD DRUGS
      Give them that Bernie Sanders, free everything to everybody, and watch the Train wreck

    3. NY declaring bankruptcy or “shutting down “, as suggested; will also shutdown this nations economy!!

    1. Mitch isn’t so much pro death penalty as simply pro death – doesn’t care who as long as it isn’t him. What an ugly, evil little man.

    2. The Borghese and Torlonia families are top criminal banking families and they are utterly ruthless. The Torlonias function as the Vatican’s treasurers. The Borgheses and Torlonias are intermarried and work closely together. The Torlonias are believed to be worth over 2 billion in assets like palaces and art and not counting their offshore wealth from mafia profits. The Torlonia family are overseeing the United States Treasury through Rome’s network of power. Jack Lew was US Secretary of Treasury from 2013-2017 and was Jesuit educated from Georgetown. The current Chairman of the Federal Reserve Gerome Powell was Jesuit educated from Georgetown. The US Treasury is designed like the Torlonia Villa in Rome. The French word “Tor” means tower and the Torlonias have French ancestry. Lonia is like loan. The Torlonia name represents loan tower. The family is overseeing the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland which is designed as a tower and is stealing wealth from the central banks around the world through fraudulent tax contracts. The BIS is also financing criminals with pay offs disguised as investments and loans. The Vatican and Swiss Cantons have been in contract for centuries and that is why the Swiss Guard protects the Vatican City. The Geneva flag uses a key symbol similar to the papal keys on its coat of arms along with the Jesuit logo. The UBS Bank which was partly created by the Warburgs also uses these keys for its logo. M.M. Warburg & Company has operations in Switzerland. Switzerland and Vatican City are the only two nations on the planet that use the square shaped flag. Switzerland is like a Papal State. The Torlonias hold titles of Princes of Fucino and they are the founders and owners of Banca del Fucino with Prince Giulio Torlonia as a board member and the recently deceased Prince Allesandro Torlonia as the former president of the bank. The primary Fucino bank operates out of the Palazzo Borghese. Banca del Fucino works closely with the Vatican bank headed up by the French Catholic Jean Baptiste Douville de Franssu. The Torlonias had contracts with the Rothschilds in the 19th century and are again working with the Rothschilds since 2018. The Torlonias which are the Princes of Civitella-Cesi are the covert owners of the Civella crime family of Kansas City and co-owners of the LaRocca crime family of Pittsburgh along with the Borghese and Rocco di Torrepadula families. The Pittsburgh crime family was founded by Gregorio Conti and the Torlonias are related to the Conti di Segni family. The Torlonias and Borgheses are part owners of Camorra. Vince Isoldi is a Pittsburgh Camorra mobster known as the “Godfather of Pittsburgh” and he owns clubs and restaurants. The La Torre Camorra mafia clan of Mondragone is operating in the UK and is owned by the Borghese and Torlonia families. Johnny Torrio was a mafia agent of the Torlonias and took over the Chicago Mob. Johnny Torrio created the Big Seven a name of an old mafia alliance. The Torlonias have a seven pointed star on their coat of arms. Both the Torlonias and Borgheses have part ownership over the Bonanno crime family. Robert Torricelli is a former senator from Jersey and he is a mafia agent of the Torlonias. The Torlonias are married with the Spanish House of Bourbon and have part ownership of the Juarez Cartel which have a network with the Civella crime family and are covertly operating in Texas. Prince Marino Torlonia’s grandfather was King Alfonso XIII of Spain. The Fertittas of Texas and Vegas are part agents of the Torlonias and worth 9 billion as owners of the casino company Red Rock Resorts and the Houston Rockets. The Fertittas married with the Galveston crime family.

      The House of Torlonia of Fucino intermarried with the Borghese banking family of Rome. Princess Marcella Borghese who died in 2002 lived in Switzerland and was in business with Revlon which produced her Borghese line of cosmetics. The Borghese family have established a branch in the United States with Don Giovanni Borghese, Don Ferdinando Borghese, and Allegra Borghese and they own the Castello di Borghese Vineyards in Long Island. Prince Francesco Borghese and his son Prince Lorenzo Borghese who was on the show the Bachelor also have a residence in the United States. Prince Lorenzo Borghese acts as their public relations. Duke Leopold Torlonia is a Knight of Malta. Pope Paul V or Camillo Borghese founded the Bank of the Holy Spirit in 1605 and it more recently merged with Banca di Roma which merged with Capitalia and then merged with Unicredit and went into contract with Santander, Warburg Pincus, and General Atlantic. These contracts ended in July 2016 right after it was exposed. Unicredit is a popular bank in Europe and its headquarters is located in Rome. The House of Torlonia is also intermarried with the Javal banking family of France and the royal family of Luxembourg which are heavily involved in banking. The Torlonia family were a branch of the Conti di Siegni family of Italy that moved to France and intermarried with French Alsacien bankers before returning to Italy as the House of Torlonia. The Conti family had a family branch in Venice where the Warburg or Del Banco family originated just as their Unicredit proxy was in contract with Warburg Pincus. Max Warburg is a top banker in Germany today and works as Managing Director of M.M. Warburg & Company and works as an agent for the Borghese family. The actress Brooke Shields is related to the Torlonias and Prince Giudo Torlonia can be seen hanging out with the Hollywood actor Richard Gere. The Borgheses merged a branch with the Salviatis and Prince Lorenzo Salviati was married to the actress Beverly D’Angelo. The Torlonias have deep connections with French bankers and recently married into the royal family of Luxembourg. Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg’s wife is Princess Sibilla Torlonia and Prince Guillaume worked for the International Monetary Fund. Luxembourg’s former Minister of Finance Luc Frieden was Chairman for the Board of Governors of the IMF and World Bank. Banking in Luxembourg is private just like in Switzerland. The ancient House of Luxembourg were Kings of Bohemia. The Torlonias are the Princes of Civitella-Cesi. Civetta is the Italian word for owl. Top Conservative politicians and businessmen have a yearly gathering at Bohemian Grove in California where they make mock human sacrifices to a giant owl. The Torlonias own a villa in Rome called the House of Little Owls. An elementary school teacher named Roxeanne Civitello is a top satanic witch of this owl cult and she rapes, tortures, murders, and cannibalizes children.

      The name Borghese or Bourgeoisie refers to a walled city and the people of these cities were usually bankers and merchants rather than farmers. The Borgheses have a dragon on their coat of arms and they live in Rome and had dozens of fiefdoms in the Papal States. They are patricians of Venice as well. The Borgheses and Torlonias of Fucino manage the Maffucci family in my region with Vincent Maffucci and his pedophile brother Matt Maffucci. The Torlonia-Borghese family of Fucino married with the Del Drago family and their name means “of the dragon.” The Del Dragos are a Black Nobility of Viterbo. Anna Del Drago married Prince Alessandro Torlonia of Fucino and his grandfather was a Borghese. Marquis Ferdinando Filippo Del Drago is the current head of this family along with Prince Filippo del Drago-Marescotti and Princess Alessandra del Drago-Marescotti. Drago is similar to the name Draghi. Mario Draghi was born in Rome, was Jesuit educated from the Massimo Institute, and he is one of the most powerful bankers in society as recent President of the European Central Bank. Draghi is also a board of director for the BIS and a member of the Group of Thirty. Mario Draghi, Fabio Panetta, and Ignazio Visco are all from Italy and all directly connected to Rome and board directors for the Bank for International Settlements which is a tower that makes loans to central banks. Tor-lonia means loan tower. Mussolini rented the Torlonia Villa in Rome from the Torlonias. Prince Junio Valerio Borghese was a naval commander under Mussolini. These banking families are financing and directing fascist secret societies in the United States. The Torlonia family also hold the continual position of Prince Assistant to the Papal Throne at the Vatican City. The Borgheses have part ownership of the Philly Mob and share ownership of the Pittsburg crime family with the Torlonia family. The Borgheses established a non noble branch in Pennsylvania. Robert Borghese is a corporate lawyer from Pennsylvania. The Borgheses are princes in Sicily through a marriage with the Paterno-Manganelli family. Today the Borghese family own the Palazzo Manganelli in Sperlinga, Sicily. Prince Roberto Paterno Castello is a member of this family and part owner of the Castellano family of the Gambino crime syndicate. The Cavazza family are closely related to the Borgheses with Countess Alberta Cavazza and she owns their former property and island. The Borghese family are also part owners of the Magliana Mafia in Rome. Members of the Torlonia crime family include Prince Giovanni Torlonia the VII Prince of Civitella-Cesi, Prince Marino Torlonia, Prince Carlo Torlonia, Prince Giulio Torlonia the Vice President of Banca del Fucino, Alexander Poma Murialdo (Torlonia) President of Banca del Fucino, Princess Vittoria Torlonia, Duke Leopoldo Torlonia, Prince Guido Torlonia, Princess Ines Theodoli-Torlonia, Count Alessandro Lequio-Torlonia, Count Alex Lequio-Torlonia and of the Borghese crime family is Prince Francesco Borghese, Princess Amanda Borghese, Prince Lorenzo Borghese, Prince Scipione Borghese, Princess Alessandra Borghese, Prince Fabio Borghese, Don Giovanni Borghese, Don Ferdinando Borghese,Allegra Borghese and numerous other princes.

  5. Hate to admit I live in Ky. Mitch has been a thorn since…. Really hoping he and his crooked wife both get what’s coming to em

    1. And Darrell let me guess your ethnic background???? The states that failed all have huge minority populations. We all know that minorities are lazy, welfare, criminal elements and anyone receiving public assistance should NOT be allowed to vote!

    2. Equal Opportunity Offender hmmm are you stupid or dumb? Maybe you suffer from both. Please stop categorizing everyone into one group. I could say the same about your background. Which I see it everyday on base at work in the Navy. I could allow the very few of you van to make me have a bias opinion of you. Which your statement have given supporting evidence. So please take a moment to grow everyone is not the same. Their are bad people in all races.

    3. @Equal Opportunity Offender my ethnic back ground. My grandmother was Blackfoot and her husband was lakota. Yes I draw disability. Why you ask? Combat! Two bouts of cancer because of exposure to napalm and agent orange defending the great American way of life. What have you done for your country?

  6. The poorest states are red states…. #MoscowMitch and his wife are the personification of treasonous corruption and the nation will be better off without them.

    1. @Rob Duenner lol… deflect when the facts are against you… typical MAGA amorality…. maybe you can explain why Moscow Mitch’s state is on this list. According to the latest Census data, 9 of the 10 states with the lowest per-person income levels were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, Idaho, West Virginia, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma.

    2. @Everblue Freediving doesn’t mean the state is doing bad if people don’t make much. Citizens income is not government dude.

    3. @Rob Duenner please dont post without references and links, tired of correcting you…. 40 % of revenue in Kentucky is federal aid vs California which was a donor state and currently is at 26%… 70billion for Kentucky vs 60billion for California… per resident Kentucky recieves $9,145.00. California recieves about $12 per resident… McConnell and the GOP are welfare queens

  7. Wow, Cuomo has a point there! Making a distinction between red and blue Americans in such a situation shows a whole new level of callousness. Sadly that’s not unexpected from McConnell. 🙁

  8. KENTUCKY TAKES ALMOST THE MOST FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND GIVES NOTHING, MCCONNELL’S SHOULD BE UNSEATED

    1. @iDroid Yes like ignoring the economic implications of letting the state have to start over from zero more than they are now. Does it occur to him itll have reverberations for Trump to allow states to declare bankruptcy more than if they recieved help? Big cities help small towns with trucks of food to give to them for groceries etc. Tons of times at a local community college I work at where I saw florida california etc on places. Probably stuff provided from new york too. I doubt doubt there were places from illinois that contributed too. YOu think these places dont affect your world but just look at packaging in stores or online. They contribute to your life more than you think they do

    2. animals are love and happiness how did you get Putin in all this. It is China that manufactured virus and inflicted this corona scourge on the entire world. Russia and Putin sent ventilators to USA when we needed them. China is in process of replacing US as a world leading superpower and we get confused with $100 thousand ads on Facebook. Get your facts straight. Your grandkids will have to learn Chinese to communicate with the masters of the world

    3. Titan Wakefield the problem is our electoral system that overweight small states and under weights large. We simply do not have representation in Washington. In California each senator represents 20 million residents. In Kentucky each senator represents 2.2 million residents. And in Alaska each senator represents 320 thousand residents. Also people in states like New York, California have better jobs, and make more money. So we pay higher federal taxes, that then go to Washington and are distributed to poorer, rural states. That is whyKentucky is getting extra money. And we living in industrialized states are not getting our fair share. Time to change electoral system to one person one vote.
