  1. This is ridiculous, too much energy being sucked into endless stream of elections. The politics is getting worse and worse.

    1. @Tyler Solvestri look at you, Grandma ,no brain, o baby, you are so deplorable, poor you.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. @Naomi Oh I guess that makes you black now that you are voting for biden but the black folks who aren’t voting for biden aren’t black are they because that’s what racist Biden said

    3. bndkllr2 your depressed because you have a losing party that has been turned into a group of pathological liars, cheats, treason committing, and soul selling puppets that use every chance they get to destroy America from within

    1. Ding Ding Ding!! And was the absolute worst Mayor of Newark! Let’s not forget he also took 400,000$ (that we know of) from Big Pharma when he campaigned! That’s why he mentioned and was so concerned with Obamacare being repealed..he (like Hillary and Obama) we’re being paid big bucks from Pharmaceutical companies!

    2. @BernadetteSunset An that’s why this whole election is run by corporate interest that don’t give a crap about us.

    3. Super Trendy Money Maker yup, wether it’s trump or Biden
      It’s still a candidate brought to you by the top 1 percent

    1. @BlakeBigfoot Funny cause all I see is you getting your A handed to you by everyone, and you crying like a little kid. I like it, it amuses me.

    2. DEMS threaten violence: “do what we want or we’ll throw a BIG FIT and LOOT, BURN, DESTROY and HURT those we hate” this is the DEM modus operandi!! Why do we put up with this?? Vote them OUT!

    3. @MJB For Trump weird how literally nobody is saying that and Democratic cities have been cracking down on peaceful protests for years already..

  2. “That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”
    “Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.
    Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was with her, agreed. “I think we hope there will be nine as quickly as possible.”
    “What we do is we automatically affirm the decision of the court below. No opinion is written, no reasons are given, and the affirmance has no precedential value,” Ginsburg explained. “It’s just as though we denied review.” RBG

    1. DEMS threaten violence: “do what we want or we’ll throw a BIG FIT and LOOT, BURN, DESTROY and HURT those we hate” this is the DEM modus operandi!! Why do we put up with this?? Vote them OUT!

    1. @Just Doin Florida Thank you for pointing out that it was MCCONNELL who changed the rules for the SCOTUS nomination, not the Democrats. Harry Reid had to get rid of the 60 vote rule for the fedral court nominations because MCCONNELL was stonewalling all of Obama’s judicial nominations. But the rule was left in place for SCOTUS nominations until MCCONNELL got rid of it for Gorsuch’s appointment

    2. debbiedoodiedandi some people just like to point fingers rather than looking in the mirror. That’s why half of these comments are. Glad I could provide clarity for those who didn’t know, but ignorant people will always be ignorant

    3. @Amity Ville I’m sorry, but Mitch McConnell was the one who announced it was his mission to make Obama a one term president. And also refused to sign a bipartisan statement to the public warning about Russia’s attempt to interfere in the 2016 elections.

    4. @Amity Ville what about Republicans coming to the table? The House has sent McConnell around 400 bills, he hasn’t held hearings on any of them. All he has done the last 4 years is pass budgets and confirm judicial nominations. That’s not being bipartisan

  3. Dems already have around 200 active election lawsuits. Republicans would be fools not to fill the seat right now.

    1. You fear living in of a pseudo socialist society under Biden, if trump wins he’ll gut health care and continue to make himself and his friends richer and keep telling the poorly educated supporters it’s all the democrats fault.

    1. @TheGkmasta killing babies isnt autonomy over YOUR body. How many testicles does a woman have? If shes pregnant with a boy the lefties think she has 2…sorry thats not how biology works.

  4. Yes, we the Americans are investing ourselves in this election. Go to the streets and at the boat rallies. It is a ton of investments… Trump2020

  5. Stop with the BS about what the American people want. Regardless of party affiliation I’d bet Americans would vote and say we want free health care and free education, and we don’t want to pay any taxes whatsoever. Are you going to grant that wish of the people? Not….

    1. “Rules for they, not for me” or in the wise words of Joe Biden “You Ain’t black If you don’t vote for me”
