    1. @Lone Shark Not sure I’d agree with that. Just like we humans, they have their bad ones as well. Unfortunately their bad ones are 8 – 10 feet tall and go 1000+ lbs. Also unfortunately, there are way more Qanon nuts than Sasquatch.

    1. I thought Epstein was a great friend of Mr. Don Trump who bragged about his visits to the infamous “pleasure island”. Trump has stated his preference for very young girls many times on camera.

    1. @Robert Biondo I’m going with evidence. Where is the fraudulent evidence?! I have no doubt all the trump supporters are sicko commie sympathizers just like their leader. A Russian hacking scandal has been going since March and ” Your ” leader hasn’t said anything!
      He also didn’t say anything about the 300k + dead, that were alive 9 months ago.

    2. @Jim River If trump admits he lost, he can’t continue to con his supporters into donations for the fraud defense fund.

    1. @Elie Kazan kahn I’m old enough to have studied history and I know a cult when I see one. Trump said that he loves the uneducated….so study up.

    2. Well, where have you been ?! Those flat earthers are now a solid bunch and I don’t think there’s anything we can say or do to make them drop their ludicrous ideas, unfortunately.

    1. @Woo Cain I’ve heard, smelled and seen sign of them. Wood knocks and whistles. In central NH of all places. They are the superior race. They live with nature and we destroy it. No wonder they shy away from us, right?

    1. @Tracy Evans i dunno. Some of them work extraordinarily hard to find things that appear to them to confirm their claims. Some of them are just defective. Whatever it is that allows most people to judge trustworthiness is broken. Of course if they wanted to they could work at improving this ability, but because their judgement is broken they don’t want to.

    1. The Texas state republican party platform actually came out and said schools should not be teaching critical thinking. They subsequently modified it to say schools should not teach anything that goes against peoples’ fixed beliefs. This pretty much summarizes today’s republicans.

    1. @Skitch McKenzie I KNOW MY PHONE IS BEING TRACKED AND CENSORED BUT THAT WONT STOP ANYTHING!!!!! WRATH WILL FALL ON ALL THE TREASON BY GOD!!!!!

    2. @Flip Carter
      Terrific………. meanwhile in the real world Trump is so stupid he referred to there being airports in 1776. The only thing that is going to happen in a month is that president elect Joe Biden will become president. Type in caps all you want ,that ain’t gonna change.

    3. @Xela somar HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT TRUMP!!!! YOUR FORGETTING THE 1ST AMENDMENT,,, FREE AND FAIR ELECTION!!!! THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND YOU KNOW IT SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR NOT GUILTY OF COVERING UP THE FRAUD!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE CALL YOURSELVES AMERICANS????? WHAT YOU ARE IS A TRAITOR AND PATHETIC!!!!!

  1. I once met a guy who said that EVERYTHING on TV was reality; he could not understand that the characters were actors. That was 40 years ago. Terrifying.

  2. It’s not a “both sides” thing. It’s a nuts thing. A vast majority of these nuts are Republicans.
