    1. @Feces In Chief Thanks for bringing up the Nazis, leftist vermin. The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei AKA National Socialist German Workers Party AKA Nazis were your fellow leftists, although they reserved their socialist programs for the Aryans. Their structure and tactics were in many ways modeled on your own creation, the KKK.

    2. @J Calhoun Iet me guess: You have a grandmother who said she’s 1/8 Cherokee on her mother’s side like every other right wing native wannabe in the US. Nice change on substituting Japanese for Black for the token distant in-law by the way.

    3. ​@Andrews2490 “OBAMA is a decent honest man with integrity and very articulate. ”
      O’Bozo the Criminal Clown got his start by serving as a bag man for the Chicago political machine, giving his employers plausible deniability.

    4. @Meredith Morgan “Don’t think…” Obviously.
      Given the Dim’s track record for voter fraud, it is reasonable for him to serve notice upon them that their actions are going to undergo very close scrutiny. The only question is just how many dead Chicago residents will rise from the grave to vote for Biden, and how many foreign criminal invaders will vote Biden in Kalifornia.

    1. “This is the easiest humanitarian effort ever to come before us Americans. Vote all blue”
      Right. Vote for the party that started the KKK and continues their systematic oppression to this day by systematically depriving those in the inner cities of proper education, economic opportunity and legal protection.

    1. If the ‘Marines’ are called out for anyone, they’ll be coming for Y O U ! Whose sons are they??? answer: Not yours [grin]

  1. Isn’t there one decent honest person the senote has to be a true American and do right for the rest of us Trump is evil please do right

    1. Barb Schaefer You are your own savior. Get organized with groups like Move On or Indivisible. They have local chapters. They might not know what to do at first with so many volunteers. We don’t usually have to go after our President. Another group I like is the Lincoln Project. Now go fight for your future. These are the times one makes history or fails under something preventable.

    2. NOPE – We were somewhat hopeful with Romney – he caved in a few days ago by justifying ramming in a supreme court justice – disrespecting RBG – just a few weeks before the election. OUT WITH THEM ALL.

      VOTING EARLY, VOTING BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD – NOV. 3RD. 2020

    1. @Joaquin Valdez…i agree with you….not one senator…not one….we all should call our Republican senators and demand answers before it’s too late. Trump has made our country sad.

  2. There is something called the Clean Hands Doctrine, which states a person can not create chaos and then go into to court and claim to be a victim of that chaos. Look it up.

    1. “He who seeks equity must come with clean hands.” If you shoot your parents, you can’t ask for special consideration because you’re an orphan.

    1. The tragedy is when Trump will be using the military and forces who uphold their oath to the constitution, to put down his opposition, when he clearly himself seeks to dismantle the constitution.

    2. There is only one way. The people of the USA must stand up and be counted.
      They must be prepared to do everything to resist. The armed forces will not move against the people,
      they will support their mums and dads and kin on the streets. It’s the time for bravery USA… or become
      slaves of a Dictatorial regime that will last for generations. It’s that bad.

    3. @Trevor Leech I still think they will follow what the Pentagon tells them to. Don’t forget Trump funnelled COVID$$$ to the Pentagon, after using Pentagon money for his wall. Trump will pull off a Lukashenko 2.0 in America in November and then invoke the Insurrection Act to quell protests to his rigging. The writing is already on the wall.

  3. PEOPLE said elect a clown, expect a circus. YOU elected an criminal, you got someone who is try to stop the will of the voting public.

  4. I blame everyone of those Republicans who didn’t impeach now if they want a free Democratic country. They had better step forward now.

    1. @Pam McCumbers I agree!!! Personally I wont vote Republican again for anything not even locally . A Republican garbage man wouldn’t get my vote. Not in anyway running down waste collectors by the way.

    2. Republican politicians don’t benefit from a Democratic country. That’s why they lie and cheat to remain in power.

  5. Dear Trump,
    No, it’s not a hoax. Literally every American with more than two brain cells wants you gone.
    Yours, Mr. Maestro

    1. @Robert Klein A mind such as yours could, theoretically, do great things. Maybe even leave the world less terrible than you found it. Though you will never have my approval, I offer every drop of my pity. I’ve been you. It sucks.

    2. @Chandla Bing Brainwash Alert Brainwash Alert! You have been afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome! See a psychiatrist ASAP, your mind is a terrible thing to waste!!

    3. @FREEMAN PEAVY your completely right, old pal. Whole country is infested with looney lefties. Conservatives, listen to Freeman. Keep walking till you feel ocean under your feet. Then keep walking. Then swim as long as you can lol

    4. @FREEMAN PEAVY BRAINWASH ALERT! BRAINWASH ALERT! DEMOCRATS HAVE COMPLETELY OUTED TRUMP FOR THE TRAITER HE ACTUALLY IS. BEGIN BRAINWASHING ALL CHILDREN AT ONCE! DRIP WATER IN THEIR EYES WHILE THEY LISTEN TO THE BEETLES BACKWARDS! ANYTHING OTHER THAN FACTUAL INFORMATION AND CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. FOR GODS SAKE, THEY ALREADY FIGURED OUT JESUS DIDN’T RIDE A DINOSAUR! WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME!! LOL

  6. When is the news going to list all Trump’s lawsuits and list all his bankruptcies for the American people to see. We need lists of his misdeeds.

  7. This is an emergency – period – regardless of party affiliation. VOTING EARLY, VOTING BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD – NOV. 3RD. 2020

  8. When half or more of America dislikes trump, how can he say he can legitimately win? He can’t so he wants to steal this election. Then again, hillbillies aren’t good at figerin’ and trump knows this.

  9. His followers WANT this chaos. They WANT the structure to fall. Remember, he’s their SAVIOR and they WANT him to have absolute power to take down the system they believe is evil. Pleading for them to have reason is going nowhere. 😣

    1. I live in a deep red state. You are one hundred percent right. His cult followers, the die hard Q anoner’s actually want to destroy our democracy so Trump can reign supreme. I’m an Independent and have always voted third party. Not this year. It’s too important. We have to vote Trump out.
