  1. Trump LIED , hundreds of thousands DIED … 205,000 DEAD from covid 19 . Trumps response “That’s just the way it is” and “I take no responsibility” ……………….. All the while he CHEATS ON TAXS and pays NOTHING FOR over a dozen years and only $750.00 for the last two ………………. FIRE THE LIAR

    1. Hahah. NBC shilling out the big bucks for the upvotes here! You aren’t fooling anyone. Trump shut down travel while this witch was encouraging everyone to go to Chinatown and hug people. You idiots are worth less than those dentures she keeps chewing on. Enjoy the debate tonight!!!!!

    2. That is people that died with the virus, not people that died from the virus. You keep buying into the media hype though.

  2. Trump commercial : “Joe Biden wants to surrender our country to the virus”.
    Reality check: Trump has already surrendered the country to the virus by doing nothing to combat it. The Chinese are laughing at Trump now. Most of Asia has Covid in the rear view mirror because they didn’t call it a Hoax………………………. Trump did !!!
    205,000 dead Americans and counting. Still NO PLAN. Vote Biden !!!

    1. @gerryThey generally aren’t very bright, either and they don’t seem to know what they do to themselves and their futures.

    2. I think Trump will lose big. Americans don’t like being unsafe and to much chaos. Don’t be fooled by the rallies.
      and here we go it’s 09:00 Tues. night. Bye

  3. Don’t forget. The dems came down a trillion dollars. Time for Republicans to compromise now. Come on moscow mitch. Time to do your job

    1. Jennifer Stanton the pubs are asking for less money for the stimulus and they don’t want to help us or our economy,kinda bass awkward are you.

    2. @Jennifer Stanton It’s obvious your biases have blocked your ability to reason and critical thinking skills 🧐

    3. Jennifer Stanton you think so narrow mindedly and biased you failed to ask the correct questions sounds like lack of education ,or insanity.

  4. POTUS-45 owes over $421M to unknown parties!! Who? This is most important.
    Always remember that POTUS-45 has always been a cheat, draft dodger and tax avoider. He has always projected what he is actually doing; cheating.
    Citizenry,  legally get your ballot, register and vote in ALL elections.
    Go vote democrat to save our democracy  from a dictator.

    1. @James Scheller this might enlighten the reasoning why…

      Still more info is coming…

      “…But in fact, the answer — or at least, part of the answer — has long been known. Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars each to two financial institutions: Deutsche Bank and Ladder Capital.
      Trump revealed this in his financial disclosure forms when he first ran for president in 2016, and journalists like Russ Choma of Mother Jones have been writing about it since. Choma wrote another piece on this earlier this summer, making the case that Trump’s half a billion in loans coming due “may be his biggest conflict of interest yet.”
      Trump’s loans from Deutsche and Ladder were all linked to particular properties — they were either mortgages on the properties themselves, or loans to fund the development of a property. Still, there have long been questions about why Deutsche and Ladder would loan Trump so much, given his history of stiffing his creditors.

      But overall, these loans are less mysterious than another aspect of Trump’s financial history — that from 2006 to 2014, he spent more than $400 million in cash on buying or developing various properties. Some journalists have long questioned how Trump got the money for all this, wondering whether he has other sources of funds he hasn’t disclosed. And the Times’s first story on the new tax records doesn’t clear this up.”

      Cut and pasted from vox article.

    2. James Scheller It is definitely our business if his debts make him vulnerable to compromise or blackmail — as everyone knows who has ever held a security clearance.

    3. JD Antigua Nobody cares about the $412M. Did the Federal Reserve care when they lost $4T? Nope. All you want is a stimulus check. Trump’s finances has nothing to do with you. Where’s Hunter? What about Pelosi’s son? What if Trump owes 412 million people $1.00. What if Trump lied about how much he owes on his taxes, and no money? Does he owe you money? Get over it.

    4. Sandra Wade There is no law that says you have to submit a tax return. If you want access to borrow money and all of the government freebies you need to file taxes, but you do not have to. You won’t get a loan if you don’t file taxes. It’s all made up. If money were real I could eat it and it would support the cells in my body. My soul would be joyful if money was real. Money is a byproduct of my usefulness not my worth.

    5. @James Scheller The logic of needing to know who a president owes money to. He should disclose that and we should demand that and we have done it. He promised. He has lied again. He lies and cheats and you excuse him, again. He has conned you. Look at the Tell All books from very reliable sources just recently coming out including Mcmasters coming out shortly. You just don’t want to know how corrupt he really is. 6 times going through bankruptcy. Cantcbex trusted others than destroy companies. Many times lying to people who he borrowed money from who he didn’t repay. Looks like Trump overvalued property and assets to the extent of it being criminal which is what the audit is evaluating. You and I both know that you can cheat a little bit on your taxes but if you cheat too much and you get caught you need to pay up and ignoranceofv the law is still no excuse. He cheated and lied to the people about money so then he needs to pay a bigger price than the average person when they get caught. He’s president. Get used to the fact he’s going to jail one day.
      A “Lock him up” musucal version will be sung after Trump’s sentencing I predict and…Hillary leading the marching like 76 trombones man Prof. Harold Hill style will be the dream.

    1. @Jody Carter you trumpanzees are flattering yourselves. I am not “name calling” you as you claim. I am describing you. If you don’t like the description that suits you then it’s time for you to become a decent individual your mirror isn’t ashamed of. About 60% of Americans have no problem accomplishing that yet, it seems to be an unattainable goal for you trumpanzees.

    2. @Jenny From the block. you poor trumpanzee, if you had a functioning brain you’d be able to realize your toilet-in-chief has been “misinforming”/”screwing” you. you trumpanzees are the personification of the adage “ignorance is bliss”. Be a good trumpanzee and go service tucker carlson at fox, the poor thing needs you.

  5. This election will decide if we are actually an exceptional country. Other countries like Germany, Japan, Italy, China, Russia, could not stop their imperialism/ fascism even when they saw it coming. Can we do it?

    1. @Jeff Klaubo sure: fascism: political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”

    2. @Jeff Klaubo That’s the definition of fascism. Anything else is opinion. I’m certainly not interested in yours. Bye!

    3. Yes you can. I say even I am not Americanian. If you just believe nothing Trump says (of course you don´t) and do trust how you feel now. This is the truth. This had happened in Europe nearly 80 years ago. Strange but this has happened even in US. Your vote means more than ever. And you are making history b voting.

    4. The problem is that people in this country are obsessed about being exceptional. That’s why Americans fall for fascists telling them it’s possible to “make America great again.”…We aren’t exceptional, OK? If we ever were, we aren’t anymore. The sooner people face that fact. the better off we’ll be.

  6. Moscow Mitch is up to his ears with Trump in the Russia string, as well as Turkey, and S.Arabia.They should all go to jail asap.

    1. Real American Just read your thread, wow! The republicans are now part of the Russians interfering in this election! They are all traitors! How can these so called servants of the American people be doing this. If this happened in the U.K. they would have to resign. It looks like Johnson, Guiliani and Grassley are working with a Russian spy! Surely they should be arrested for working with the Russians to meddle in the election. Any other time this would be front page news. Its sad how low the USA fallen under trump’s presidency. Biden has just got to win the election otherwise Putin will really be running the country. It’s only the Democrats that are keeping the country from Putin’s grasp.

    2. Neil Go a d read the Real American threads, they are shocking, never mind Hunter Biden who is innocent, check out the GOP senators and Guiliani. They are the ones you should be screaming about!

    3. wiremantw Freedom & Liberty Forever The sad thing is Mueller’s remit was not to touch anything about trumps financial dealings otherwise he and his team would be fired. Now we know exactly what trump was trying to conceal. Saying that, the republicans would still not have removed him. Thankfully we know a lot more about trump’s huge debt, his tax dodging, his lies about his status and how dangerous he is. He should be put in the dock and tell the American people if his debt has anything to do with Putin, the Russians or oligarchs. I don’t see how, if he ever gets re-elected he can dodge this. It’s vital that the country know if he’s a security threat. I just hope Biden wins, then trump won’t have the corrupt Barr to lie and do his dirty work for him.

    1. @Pia Williams im sorry what did biden say , hes been a vp for 10yrs , hes been in office for 180 yrs , a billion people died from corona, he likes kids playing with his leg hair , your not black , come on man you on drugs , he said he running for senate when hes running for president, thats called dimenta and your voting for a 77 yr old with dementia lol that makes you a clown and thats insulting clowns

    2. @Pia Williams how about when he said his son was a politician in Pennsylvania and he never was , how about when he said he has 3 degrees and was top of his class lol

    3. Gerard Ahern I agree with and go to sleep many nights wishing for this to happen, I believe Nancy would make a wonderful PresideIt would be one

    1. @Sara Nemecek : Small world, my brother’s step son is in Louisville. Also, my wife and I love Kingfish, but the one on River Road.

    1. @Dolores Reynolds

      You should go see the latest news uncovered on Salaries of Government employees- its a shocker

      Now I see why Pelosi wants to have so much money for Bailout money for States- its for the salary of these people

      Look it up shocking

      Here is just an example :
      Custodians are making $120,000/yr in bankrupt New York and California
      There sre over 50,000 employees making over 100k/yr in Government jobs
      Including her scam job msking $172,000/yr

    2. Trump has paid more taxes in 1 year then you have made in your whole life! Including me too 🤣 keep believing everything you hear on the MSM

    3. @Tee Pee

      I think Biden is actually going to be missing- he really is not all there

      On a good note last year Biden put his name in for a bed at the nursing home- he finally got a bed – so i doubt he’s all there

    4. Biden and Democrats really don’t understand numbers 🤨

      I was speaking with z bunch of democrats yesterday and they dont understand Corporate Tax code nor the incentives of corporations nor how a us 🇺🇸 dollar builds velocity when transferring hand to hand….

  7. As bad as Trump manifests now, he will continue to go further down the tubes. The silver lining: he’s dragging the GOP down into his bottomless cess pit.

    1. This woman (89) years old on the night he was elected said “To bad he commits suicide at the end of his term he just could take being a looser.” I NEVER forgot that. It was out of the blue. She says the damdest things the shop keeper said. We don’t let her buy scratchers she all way picks the winners.

    1. @Kylla M. Exactly, they’re are as guilty as the Imposter in Our White House is! VOTE McConnell and all those repukkklicans out! They’re couldn’t care less about the American people!

    1. Right, why not give another stimulus now and do another in 2 months or so people are seriously struggling right now smh!!

  8. *👉From a man who whines about other countries paying a “Fair Share”*

    *👉 Meanwhile: Where is Trumps Fair Share? 🤢🤮*

  9. “It’s not who he owes the money to, it’s about where he’s going to get it from, to pay it back” – Pelosi.
