  1. The fact, that Trump played a round of effed up Back Jack with people’s life support simply to punish everyone for the outcome of the election, makes him a disgusting dictator, a horrible human being and a disgrace for democracy itself. I hope he will receive a proper answer by justice. Hang in there America, this farce soon will be over. Love from Europe 🇪🇺GO #Ossoff & #Warnock !!!

    1. @SMASHPOUNDX it was McConnell and some republicans were holding up the bill do your homework. McConnell only care about big business not about the people. McConnell election should be checked out..there is no way he won honestly

    2. @U.S. Patriot more like u.s. seditionist. Go hug your rebel flag. Your days are numbered. Hunting season starts in 23 days.

    3. @The Truth Is Out Now 777 love me a maga chudd. Aint they precious? Like little flailing toddlers. Come back when you get more bearing.

    4. @Big Daddy Baleion Hunting around here started Nov 15. A few of my friends skinned and processed 136 deer for locals. Those new crossbows will do serious damage at 100 yards but I still use the old Marlin 45-70 lever. That’s a cannon.

    5. @Betty Berg I have nothing but contempt for McConnel but Piglosi was playing political games for the last six months to try and make Trump look bad. I don’t need to do any homework.

    1. @UCHuW5sYJsd0nWv-MTXCL1bQ Democrats are not a cancer to society. Trumpist are too stupid to take a real look at what has really been going on. Apparently you did not take Trumps questions about injecting poison into your body seriously. Why if he is the Masih to republicans and others are you still here? Could it be that you are not that stupid or did you call POISON control? If that is true and you are not stupid what else could he be saying that is just not right.

    2. @The Truth Is Out Now 777
      I _highly_ doubt that. Biden isn’t filling his cabinet with lobbyists and billionaires. He also actually tries to sell us on unity. I doubt I’m gonna like all of his policy decisions, and I’m sure conservatives will spend every waking minute looking for a scandal and blocking legislation, but there’s no way Biden’s administration will be worse than Trump.

    1. @joe guy yes, brain washed out of all lies and cons from the last four years, using chlorine too, make sure it’s rid of all those rubbish.

    2. @Victor Teo just cause thw media says there lies doesn’t make em so the media and our intelligence folks our on the record lying joe biden lies a lot as well like the last debate he lied and saod the lab top was russian disinformation thats a pretty big lie but your brain washed with hate for trump you lost track of the facts ans reality

    3. @joe guy after fact checking, I guess Trump is a pathological constant liar, as a matter of fact, over 20,000 lies. Please show me, how many lies did Joe Biden quoted out? I agree, all politicians lie, but over 20,000? Anybody, other than Traitor, Bunker Boy, Diaper Don, a coward, liar, cheat, thief, murderer and what else? Days when Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz before 2016 decribtion of Trump don’t mean a thing?

    1. im getting the trump vaccine today as a health care worker i feel like he did an amazing job with the covid 19 ordeal

    2. Biden is was more corrupt than trump its not even close hahaha and who remembers all the mindless obama supporters remember the lady saying she wasnt gonna have to pay for gas or her light bill anymore cause obama won but these same people bash trump supporters i mean come on man

    3. @joe guy ..All these Dumbocraps have been hiding in their “Cry Rooms” sniveling and crying for the past four years..

    1. @SMASHPOUNDX Does it get tiresome being such a hateful, ignorant person? I imagine it must be challenging to keep that attitude for so long.

    2. @mst3KGf No, in fact it’s quite pleasurable. Tell me, does it feel good repressing your feelings then telling yourself you’re a superior person for doing it?

  2. Americans have the worst help for the unemployed people,no wonder people are living on the streets,Welcome to Trumps Make American Great Again,

    1. @Chad Carpenter Chad look up Trumps history over the years of cheating contract workers payments ,molesting women, tax evasion,Lies to the American People, His past attempt in deceiving others by lies,I rest my case about Trump,

    2. @Nils Telle oh i know he did a business deal that left a contractor high and dry, even tho the contractor didn’t fulfill his end of the deal..and paid off a females to keep their mouth shut about whatever freaky stuff he is into that politicians could use against him and the one female that said he molested her has not been proven true by any means whatsoever…and how he paid his taxes in advance by the 10’s of millions and that is why he didnt pay in the future years witch is a normal thing to do by rich people

  3. The art of the deal….he forced the republicans to back him unconditionally (as usual) when he faces justice after January 20….

  4. The money belongs to the American citizens.
    It’s not this traitors money.
    Just how much money have diaper don has stolen from America and the citizens?

    1. @Richard Batchelder I feel your pain. You are cracking me up. I feel like yelling this every time I read these Democrat responses. 🤣🤣Don’t ever give up brother. God bless and have a Happy New Year!

    2. @onepieceman
      It just passes you off russian retRumplickin.
      That finally after more then 50 years the Democrats will have control.
      Instead of robbing the American taxpayers and selling out America to russia.🤦‍♂️

  5. $6 trillion dollars in bailout money went to billion dollar corporations with almost no government oversight on how the money is allocated and the FED pumped over $7 trillion dollars into the stock market; that’s over $13 trillion dollars that has been spent on protecting the wealth of the most rich people of our country just in the last 8 months. We are living during a time of the largest separation of wealth in American history and the top 1% most wealthy people’s net worth has increased over a trillion dollars during a pandemic and economic crisis, most of these people own stocks in the corporations that received billions in bailouts; when roughly 1 out of every 6 Americans can’t afford food and roughly 1 out of every 16 Americans might lose their shelter because they are behind on their rent or mortgage. To put $1 trillion dollars into perspective, if you made $1 dollar every second it would take about 31 years to make $1 billion but it would take 31,709 years to make $1 trillion dollars. Not only should Americans have the $2,000 stimulus check, they also should receive universal basic income checks during and after the pandemic. If they keep us fighting each other it’s fairly easy to pull the wool over our eyes and keep giving socialism for the rich right under our noses. Makes it much easier to give annual billion dollar subsidies to Big Oil, Big Pharmaceutical, weapon manufacturers etcetera. Makes us more complacent when they give a $1.5 trillion dollar tax break that almost 90% of the benefits go to the top 1% makes us accept that billion dollar corporations need trillions of dollars of bailout money during a pandemic while the middle class and poor get crumbs. Makes us accept billion dollar bail outs of a corrupt banking system and a $750 billion per year Military budget because we are distracted by people who cry “socialism” and “communism” every time people question that the balance of power does not exist and is in control of the billionaire donor class who effect legislation by lobbying and funding million/billion dollar political campaigns of our corrupt politicians from both parties.

    1. Many in the populace were trained by tv entertainments to accept this National Wheel of Fortune. Melania is the perfect looking assistant on the set.

  6. The only difference between Trump an a NYC mafia boss is that the mob boss knows how to run an Atlantic City casino 🎰… 🥴

    1. Trump not only acts like a mob boss, he acts like a BAD mob boss. The smartest, longest-lasting mob bosses are the ones who didn’t seek attention.

  7. That sadist, Trump gets his kicks teasing and intimidating the helpless poor. This was nothing more than a cruel last exercise of power by a morally bankrupt lameduck failed President. He has no shame, because he is incapable of empathy or compassion. January 20 can’t come soon enough.

    1. wow the guy helps people by signing something and you bash him should he of not signed it i don’t whats up with you people can’t be pleased either way

  8. Gee he signs it a few hours after everyone’s time ran out, and half of these Americans that he screwed over are his cult sycophants. Guess this was his shooting someone on 5th ave moment and he won’t lose a supporter even if it’s them he’s shot while he golfed in his diaper Depends (in the pics and videos you can clearly see the padding outline and shape, the man-child is regressing to his infancy)

  9. Trump, really did need those 4 more year’s. He wasn’t even close to completing his destruction of America. Poor, Trump boo, hoo, Be’otch!😭

  10. $600 stimulus check?
    Secret service pays more than that for a room at Mar-a-lago when they’re protecting Trump.

  11. I asked a doctor when they think this virus will end. She told me how would I know, I’m a doctor not a politician.

  12. Not one word about all the freaking giveaways to the rich in the omnibus grab bag bill or the millions Trump has stolen from the taxpayers??
