  1. So now sending out mean tweets disqualifies you from serving in office. Hmm. Is that really the line you want to take Republicans?

    1. @K L hilarious so racist is anyone that says anything bout Black Lives Matter ?
      That in itself is racist.
      So it’s ok to talk bout whites but heaven for bid if someone says anything bout blacks. Very twofaced of you

    2. tRump the DUMP has been sending NASTY TWEETS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS! He was the one who started the “birtherism” BS for President Barack Obama which was total crap!!

    3. How about her emails? This:
      The emails, provided to The Intercept by a source authorized to receive them, are particularly illuminating about the actions of Tanden (right), a stalwart Clinton loyalist as well as a former Obama White House official. They show Tanden and key aides engaging in extensive efforts of accommodation in response to AIPAC’s and Lewis’ vehement complaints that CAP is allowing its writers to be “anti-Israel.” Other emails show Tanden arguing that Libyans should be forced to turn over large portions of their oil revenues to repay the U.S. for the costs incurred in bombing Libya, on the grounds that Americans will support future wars only if they see that the countries attacked by the U.S. pay for the invasions.

    1. @Charles
      😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
      Mommy my candies 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

    2. @Charles “We” didn’t do anything to tRump, he has a BIG mouth that gets him into trouble every time. Pretty much everything that he was accused of came out of his own big mouth, he would tell everyone, though tweets, or live on Tv, he’s a moron. tRump winning, yes of course we weren’t happy because he wasn’t our choice, but to be honest most got over it pretty quickly. We all new he would screw it up, (just like he screwed up his family business) and he would only be a one term president!!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

    1. Hey Wee Willy Wanker. (AKA William H Music, William H Music 2020, The Tweatles etc…)
      No tinyurl or comments on your fear of homosexuals ?
      S’matter, your boyfriend dumped you for another Troll ?
      Poor pathetic creature.

    2. Idk… she is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

    1. It’s not a republican hypocrisy. I am surprised they oppose her because she is strongly opposed to Medicaid for all. The person who is strongly opposed to he is Bernie Sanders. Bernie is diametrically opposed to her and one of her age called her supporting everything toxic of the corporate democratic party.
      She is also accused of physically assaulting Faiz Shakir, an advisor of Bernie Sanders. She was accused of punching him, she stated that she showed him. Wow, talk about a bully.

  2. Trump is trying to extend executive privilege by granting blanket immunity to himself and his family but the GOP is concerned about some tweets aimed at them for being complicit and not holding him accountable…incredible.

    1. No even factoring the destruction he’s continuing to wage against our democracy and the fallacy he’s promoting that undermine citizens faith in fraud free, fair elections‼️‼️
      Utterly the most complicit group of spineless bootlicking politicians ever that have empowered the worst president the United States has ever had—glad we dumped tump‼️👍🏽🤦🏼‍♀️

  3. When did a budget director position become headline news? Traitorous republicans are gasping at straws after the last 4 years lol

    1. @Tyeler Nowell
      That’s just how I felt about you yelling Russia, Russia, Russia for 4 years. We will treat Biden the same way you treated Trump. Get used to it.

    2. @Charles yeah well the mueller report stated the 10 or 12 instances of bad behavior by the campaign and you can’t handle the truth, you support criminals? Get a clue….

    3. The emails, provided to The Intercept by a source authorized to receive them, are particularly illuminating about the actions of Tanden (right), a stalwart Clinton loyalist as well as a former Obama White House official.

    4. @Viganch0
      Tandem will never be confirmed and will be an embarrassment to Biden. One of many for the dementia puppet

  4. Millions will be homeless or dead even with a vaccine. Due to the lack of a relief package from Congress for the people.

    1. @E hole you can blame Moscow Mitch be wise for him it’s not about what’s good for America or the American people. It’s ALL about a Republican political power that serves his interest and power

    2. We need to stop blaming Congress, the Congress already pass a relief bill in May but the Senate Mitch McConnell put it on the back burner so he can push judges in courts who is not qualify

    3. Neera Tanden wants to cut Medicaid and make America’s health crisis even worse

    4. people realize February is homeless awareness month also black history month which overcome the bigger issue for black being that there more homeless black family than whites

    1. She is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

    2. Surprised President-elect Dementia didn’t have to run off to take a dump. Those meds he’s taking for his condition make him incontinent

  5. Republicans won’t have any grounds to complain about ANYTHING over the next 4 years,
    after all they allowed to happen over the past 4 years.

    1. Republicans will always create a negativity against the Democrats no matter what. They don’t believe in peace and unity. They are terrible!

  6. We need a democratic senate that cares people and send the stimulus package to people. Republicans will do our Country miserable. Georgia needs to vote democratic.

    1. Then she is NOT the right person for the job! Forget the tweets! She is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesnt support unions, s. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

  7. Let’s start moving on from Trump. Let us now concentrate on the future. Starve Trump of the airtime he so desperately craves. Time to start moving on.

    1. We can “move on” after Trump has been imprisoned for his crimes. Not before then. We won’t allow this to be swept under the rug.

    2. @Tessmage Tessera it’s not about that. Trump should be held to account by the law. However, constantly talking about trump as if there is nothing else to talk about is exactly what Trump wants. We have a new elect president with a lot of issues in front of us. Let’s focus on that instead of making all the news about Trump. All we are doing is fueling the fire by talking about him nonstop.

    3. @Brenda Brenda I’m just concerned that “out of sight — out of mind” will make it easier for Americans to shrug and forget about Trump’s crimes.

  8. So glad to have a stable person heading into the oval office. I trust his picks – they are experts and trustworthy, what a change from last 4 years.

    1. @Lakshmi Ahlers ,
      Don’t worry , friend.
      That cancerous lesion has been reported by many, to Youtube.
      Not taking it down, is against their own guidelines.
      Stay well.

    2. Idk about that… Neena Tanden is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

    3. @Lakshmi Ahlers It’s a bot or troll. Reply report “Unwanted commercial content or spam.” We can all help take out the trash around here.

  9. uncle Joe Biden chose Neera Tanden as OMB Director, not to kiss the GOP senators bottoms, but to deliver service to American people

    1. @George Alerits you must be jealous that a Woman is more qualified than you. Try higher education. Oops too late!

    2. She is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

    3. @Lakshmi Ahlers Neera Tanden is no woman. She’d have to be human first.

    4. @Erica Cartman She is a moderate normal Democrat. Not a far left, Independent, Socialist that pretends to be a Democrat because that is the only way they get enough votes to hold office.

    5. ​@Lakshmi Ahlers https://theintercept.com/2015/11/05/leaked-emails-from-pro-clinton-group-reveal-censorship-of-staff-on-israel-aipac-pandering-warped-militarism/

    1. Not that much… Neera Tanden is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!

  10. Come on Georgia! Let’s get those Dems elected and take the senate too or it’ll be 4 more years of McConnell and GOP obstruction!

    1. Which party supported the burning down of cities?
      Which party kept the slaves?
      Which party supported the women’s suffrage?
      Which party enacted Jim Crow?

  11. Republicans are revisionist historians. To question someone’s mean tweets after ignoring all of Trump’s mean tweets, is the epitome of hypocrisy.

    1. Neera is Trump’s worst nightmare. She is an intelligent, articulate, opinionated, strong woman. He hates to be around women superior to himself. Trump is a weak little man.

    2. Forget the tweets! She is practically a Republican herself. She wants to cut Social Security, advocates policies that create economic injustice like cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, doesn’t support unions, spreads conspiracy theories. She is dishonest, look at her history! We can do better!
