  1. The US has become trump steaks…electing an incompetent buffoon has ended just as predicted…thanks republicans. : )

    1. @Black Patriot All you’ve managed to say here, is that a true liberal has not been in the White House.

    2. @Black Patriot Calling someone stupid because their political beliefs differ from yours is absolutely disgusting and it speaks to your character or lack thereof. The pleasure you take in also let’s me know that you’re extremely toxic and probably suffer from narcissistic personality disorder.

    3. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

    4. @Black Patriot Republicans do everything better that is why republican run states have the highest welfare and poorest education. Thanks to the insane republicans with Trickle- Down Economics which has failed each time but who is checking. The removal of regulations by republicans has lead to the fleecing of America. Capitalism is so great it needs to be bailed out over and over.

  2. All you have to do to see where Mitch McConnell’s priorities lie is glance at the statistics about the state he has helped govern since the mid-1980s. By any measure, Kentucky is a mess*. It is poor, unhealthy, under-employed, non-competitive, poorly educated, addicted, and despairing. While Mitch has been off playing tactician, his state has continued to sink. McConnell is totally enthralled with power … a heartless, cold, ruthless man who is always out for himself.
    * Kentucky:
    / #46 in Educational attainment..
    / #46 in Poverty.
    / #43 in Employment.
    But #5 in receipt of federal subsidies & #1 in obstructionist politicians

    1. Like there s really a State to be Proud of in the Country. ??? , Government is a Criminal Enterprise, that operates in Both Parties..Which is why most. Corruption goes unpunished .Public office has become a License to Steal, because of the protections they give themselves. Felonies on the left have been flying by so Fast you can’t Blink or you will miss. them..The Bushes ,Cheney and the Clintons. gave China and the Oil Industry. Carte. Blanche and we are that much Closer to Losing our Sovereignty as a Nation, because of those self-serving. Traitors. Jesus is Coming. , so you better get. Ready

  3. A public health disaster allowed to become an economic disaster. Trump the NY Conman is doing what he’s always done grifting other people, create chaos and damage before he leaves and skips out with other people’s money. Trumps big short.

  4. WELL IF YOUR PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE STOPPED THINKING ABOUT HIMSELF AND GREW SOME BALL’S AND HANDLED THE SITUATION LIKE A GROWN MAN. IT WOULDN’T BE AS BAD

    1. There’s an old American classic without meaning anymore; “this land is your land, this land is my land”

  5. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” – Dom Helder Camara

    1. tRump’s in-laws get Communist Party pension…not Bernie’s; tRump secret Chinese/Swiss bank accounts need closer look

    2. @That7Old7Black7Magic the truth is scary. There are almost 8billion people on the planet, but not enough resources for everyone to live a quality life. The truth is, if we all shared everything equally, we would all be poor.

      It’s difficult to accept this tragic truth.

      A political Revolution won’t fix our problems. Only a technological and scientific Revolution can improve our lives significantly.

    3. @José de Jesus wow are you truly ignorant and have ZERO facts to support ANYTHING you have said. Pathetic

    4. @Heather Melissa Don’t you believe every human being deserves a quality life? Yes! But we can’t provide a quality life for every person, until we make progress in new forms of energy production. We need new ideas NOW!! Too many people are suffering!

  6. George HW Bush S&L Banking Collapse and Recession.
    The George W Bush Banking Crisis and Recession.
    The Donald Trump Economic Collapse and Recession.

    There’s a pattern here.

    1. But those got blamed on Clinton and Obama.
      McConnell will do everything to make this crisis stick to Biden.

    2. @Debra Jenkins

      They lost the oil part this year bc the prices are getting down.

      OPEC and Russia have agreed to put more on the market.

    3. @Celena Newell Never expect anything good from anyone named Bush especially a female with tattoos and a Harley.

    4. every time you have a republican in the white house ,you have a unnecessary war and you have a financial disaster .you had a bad economy under Reagan also .I fear we will experience a depression

  7. I hope all the people in Kentucky that have no money and are going to either lose their homes, get evicted or go hungry pat theirselves on the back. Congratulations.

    1. this situation wasn’t thier fault ..remember the numbers of secret service agents who caught Covid or the numbers of people who caught Covid inside the white house ..

    2. And drink all the mountain dew they can so they can get dew rot! Or maybe die from prescription drug use…either way the country wins!

  8. Because we had a non leader during a global crisis, we the people pay with our lives, our livelihoods, our homes, our childrens education and our savings. And we have a current government that STILL places their corporate donors above the needs of the people.
    Somethings got to give.

    1. That will be you Giving ;; Another 30+% in your income taxes to pay for the Socialist Agenda, they have been Concocting. ; so others can Live off your Sweat and Blood..Better Hope the Conservatives win in Court..

    1. While Biden was VP. We Lost 10 + Trillion Dollars, Doubling our National. Debt..They have actual Proof Biden is a Long Term Crook..Name 1 Crime Trump has Committed other than Firing Tom Green. ????

    1. @SMZ ZMS Let corruption and incompetence fester! That’s the ticket!
      Worked out wonderfully so far ! 😁

    1. My grown kids have had to do the same…move in my apartment with me…I help with childcare/homeschooling to keep them working and earning. We have had to consolidate three households so far! Looking at a fourth if my daughter in law continues to be unsuccessful at regaining employment and applying for UI that will run out in December! SMDH!

    1. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  9. Capitalism equals “Long food lines nationwide!” “Hospitals patient dumping uninsured on the streets!” Jobless and homeless on the rise nationwide! This is capitalism Republican government! With Democratic failure!

    1. Capitalism Unbridled is what the 90’s was with Clinton allowing Wall Street to make the rules. We are still paying for that now, along with Gdubbya ignoring the economy heading towards a cliff, and doing nothing about it.

  10. “Spending TRILLIONS of dollars….” Got to love it when Velshi really means “Trump is POCKETING trillions of dollars.”
