  1. The GOP have in ested zero in the Future of their own country for how many terms? All of the self proclaimed, #Grimreaper’s.

    If these people invest nothing into the American People from the coffers of The People’s Taxes ….SHIP THEM ONE WAY TO PUTIN

    1. @J Are you speaking for all private schools everywhere? Plenty of people on the right and left send their children to public schools. There is just a need for an actual Education Secretary.

    2. @J FUKOFF STOOPID. THERE R NO TEACHERS IN UR TRAILER PARK SO HOW WOULD U KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE REAL WORLD

    3. @J for one thing private schools have fancy new buildings. They can also limit the number of students that go there. I guarantee there aren’t 30plus students in their classes and most people can’t afford private schools they have to worry about how to feed their children. Watch that video of how many children are in that hallway while changing classes
      This is a science project that is going to fail miserably.

    4. @J no parent is willing to sacrifice their child ask anyone who has children
      Obviously you don’t or you have a silver spoon in your mouth

    5. @Forrest Trump obviously you went to the same schools trump went to to learn to be a bully and that was the extent of your education

  2. Republicans: Do you think putin will give us bonuses if we hit 200k deaths?
    Trump: Probably…I don’t see why he wouldn’t give you bonuses.

    1. @Jeff Gibson danger over, huh?
      Not with your Dear Leader at the helm!
      WORST president in the WORST possible time.

    2. @Altair IV Hillary ran the State Department as part of the Clinton Foundation and collected $150 million from Russian oligarchs.

    3. @Gary King Doanld Trump saved the West Coast. to this day nobody around here knows anybody who got sick.

    4. @Jeff Gibson , happy to hear it! What exactly did he do to “save the West Coast”? What legislation or executive order? How many of you did he save? Why aren’t you all over Fox news?
      I’ll wait.

    5. @Gary King He saved the west coast by cutting off flights from china on January 31 by executive order, of course. everybody out here knows it. we can’t find anybody around here who has ever been sick. It’s not even news. It happened six months ago.

  3. This is genocide.We’re Idiots for allowing him to do it. If we don’t get him out now, we won’t make it to November. Especially after he steals the election.

    1. Oh shut up…genocide?? So dramatic. Kids aren’t prone to the virus and it is a fukn flu!! The mask is simply a a security blanket and it does not protect you from any virus, in fact it is more harmful to your health since you are breathing toxic particles from the mask itself and breathing carbon monoxide.

    2. @Doug Lowe Ten books have been written on this very topic. You do read books, don’t you? Or do you only watch TV?

  4. Every republican president has created a recession but this takes the cake 🎂

    When will Americans find time to wake up?

    1. Oh my someone who thinks like me. There is hope a light of hope at the end of this dark nightmare

    2. @mothgirlwings Trump* leads Biden by 3 points with white voters. It’s hard to have faith when there is that kind of widespread stupidity. Trump* should be lucky to get 3% of the white vote.

    1. Well he hasn’t suffered two brain aneurysms like our candidate Joe. He’s not taking powerful medications to prevent further attack. Even late night comedians joke about Joe’s cognitive abilities. A recent comedy routine cropped up from the late Robin Williams, who said that Joe is like an uncle who is taking new medication but they haven’t got the dosage right. 🤣

    2. lIberals are mentally unfit if they believe all this hype about a virus that is curable and not deadly.

  5. I went to public schools and upper scale neighborhoods, the restrooms needed to be remodeled then and still do. What kind of sanitary measures can be taken with such poor conditions?!

    1. ro… who’s decision is it to reopen the schools? let me help you… its not Trump’s call… he has not ordered schools open. That decision is being done locally

    2. @Paul Wilson PROVE HE OR HIS DAD DIDNT BUY HIS WAY THROUGH I BET YOU CANT . BECAUSE YOUR BOY IS AFRAID TO SHOW HIS. PEOPLE CAN GET MOST OF OUR GRADES WHY IS HE ASHAMED OF HIS ?

  6. Teachers are putting themselves at risk. How many schools are allowing students to walk around without mask? Students are children. Demand protection for your self and children from school boards. As you would the parents..B1

  7. If a boss encourages employees not to follow safety guidelines and it results in death they are liable.
    TRUMP encouraged States and public not to follow CDC guidelines, caused 10s of thousands of deaths.
    Time for a CLASS ACTION.

  8. We should demand for Trump to set an example and have him send his son Barrette to a public school.

    1. Let’s also send his grandchildren to a public school also and watch Ivankas reaction!!! Wonder what Melania would do if Trump did that? Ask for more 💰?

    2. @C W
      No school vouchers. We need people to take care of their own children. Then they will think twice before having them.

  9. Good for you, ma’am. You’re in a high risk group, and people should be talking about what this is going to do to a whole generation of children? They will grow up, having witnessed the deaths of their fellow students, their teachers and their FAMILIES, and the number of deaths will rise. As that generation grows to adulthood, we’ll have a different culture. Our books, movies, music, social media, will reflect the guilt of a generation, who grew up playing a part in the deaths of loved ones, by passing on death. This teacher has set an example, by doing the right thing, which is what we should hope for from ALL of our teachers. America will NEVER forgive itself, for what it’s about to do

    1. The data is exactly the opposite of what you are saying. Schools have been opened in Europe already.

  10. When my dad “retired” he took a PT job as a school bus driver. Most of his colleagues were over 60…..Do they have self driving buses yet?
