    1. @Michael Grant Slow down a little there, tiger. In this thread you’ve called Trump “Travis” and “Trunks”, and you referred to Don Jr (Travis’s son) as a crackhead. You’re all over the place. I know you’re probably being paid by the hour in a Russian comment sweatshop or whatever, but this sort of shoddy performance could get you in trouble with your boss. (Also, your English is VERY bad. Is there a course you can do?)

    2. @AussieCassPlays 😝🤪😝🤪😜😂😂You’re gonna get him in trouble with upper management over there at trollcom.

  1. Christie: “You’ve got to live with it and move on”. Christie & friends let Trump off the hook of Impeachment. And here we are living with it.

    1. @Tim Smith do some research. It’s FACTS… Facts Always Confuse TRump Supporters… Always. We understand & bless your heart. Attention getter… You got your time& it’s time for you & the MAGA (Manipulated American Gullible Aholes) to move it along. SDNY is on it now & Manhattan. It’s going to be awesome… Justice Matters

    2. I’ve spent the last four years thinking “SURELY this THIS is the thing that is a bridge to far…” It’s like living in the twilight zone.

    1. Remember when Chris Christie closed the parks and beaches and went an sat in the sun like it was his private beach…Trump told Chris Christie that the meatloaf was great at the W.H. Should rename it to the People’s House.

    2. Lol it’s true. Not only him, but Mitt Romney. These 2 are the voices of reason for the GOP…that’s a truly sad reality.

    1. @mikewarns Whatever their reason for voting for this monster, it was poor judgment. He not only has murdered thousands of people due to his lack of leadership during this pandemic, the crushing stress and fear he has put us through is just criminal.

  2. Trump has been surrounded by enablers all his life. He should have been stopped a long time ago long before he became president.

    1. @Richard Grier Maybe his spelling of “illigitimate” was a Fraudian slip 🤣. (If anyone corrects me they missed it 💨 whoosh).

    1. Trumpty Dumpty fell off a wall . . . . and the yolk’s on his supporters who donate to his Save America slush fund.

    1. @Nobody Knows More About Losing Than Donald Trump He may think that—Stephen Miller is not exactly humble or self-effacing and tends to inflate his importance.

    2. @CFR Andre Miller’s ego is irrelevant. Trump is easy, just sidle up to him and tell him what he wants to hear (about himself), and he’s as malleable as warm silly putty

  3. When you stop giving “Attention Grabbers” attention they’ll eventually get the message. I blame the media, you keep an eye on Losers, not the media. He deserves jail-time not air-time.

  4. Stop acting appalled that Trump’s an anti-democratic authoritarian. He’s a freaking criminal who is attempting to avoid prison. Treat him as such.

    1. Not only is Trump afraid of prison. I do not want to see anything happen to Trump. But he is more afraid of Iran. There is a ever increasing Bounty for Trump. Already over 60 Million dollars. Trump will always be looking behind his back.

    2. @John Hendrixson stick to current subject no diflective tactics allowed numnuts we talking about the corruption of # 45 and the effects/ attack on our constitution citizens country and you ! Even if you like it rough….lol

  5. Why can’t he be removed immediately?? These are treasonous acts, people are dying as a result of his so called governing. He must be stopped.

  6. “essentially” sociopathic? No, just regular old sociopathic, just like over 2 dozen psychologists have already said in public interviews.

  7. We probably need to add, “Presidents may experience post covid sociopathic tendencies” to the published effects of contracting Covid-19.
