    1. @sam X the only ones that are in a hole are you all stupid Democrats but let me tell you get ready to keep crying for 4 more years you need to get a job and pay taxes Democrat TRUMP 2020

    2. @sam X That is a legitimate complaint about Republicans. However, it doesn’t answer the question on how the tea party is or was racist.

    3. @sam X I could make the case that the supporters of Biden and Harris are, in your words, stupid. I could make the case that progressives, in your words, racist.

    1. *Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY*
      Sept 2017 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/record-135-billion-a-year-for-illegal-immigration-average-8-075-each-25-000-in-ny

      *The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.*

      And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

      State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.

    2. @Stig Petersen Defunding of the police is already happening you moronic imbecile 🤪
      tinyurl.com/y5khwzhr 🌊

    3. @Stig Petersen Sure you did —- and, what does any of your drivel have to do with the price of tea in CHINA, CHINA, CHINA???

      Where’s QUID-PRO-QUO-Joe?

      Just can’t seem to answer that one can you?

      “Optics are important.”

      You’re actually voting for a PROVEN TRAITOR to be President?

      For Reals???

      What does that say about your PRIDE?

      BTW, who taught you to be Godless, commie?

      😊

      TRUMP 2020🇺🇸

    1. I can’t understand the mindset that you can pick and choose what laws you will obey, good luck with that.

    2. @Ricky Spanish What law are you talking about? Ever heard of Schindler’s List? He broke the ‘law’ – was he bad?

  1. I was born in estonia. I love America, I love the flag, I love the people. And it’s very hard to respect tramp. Very hard. We voted for Biden.

    1. @QUID-PRO-QUO J0E_,
      Fake news. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

    2. @QUID-PRO-QUO J0E_, yeah! So where are the indictments from DOJ? Is Covid45 just a weak Potus who no one listens to?

    3. My dad and aunt were born in Latvia…came here right after wwII …my aunt and her family settled in Seattle. When she passed, we brought her to Canada to be buried. My aunt, a very smart woman, and my cousins, all educated and successful contributed to the success of the U.S……..and not to feel that they are part of it because they were not born there…ridiculous. This is a statement for each and every newcomer that wishes to make a good life and contribute.

    4. @Robb Garcia I lived in a communist country, and I can assure you is DT who exhibits these type of traits by his disrepect of the constitution, business dealing while in office, using the DOJ for his own benefit, considering the media the enemy of the people. But your sin, it displaying your ignorance as knowledge. Don’t speak of things you know nothing of, please take several seats!

  2. If I was Mexican I wouldn’t want Americans coming to my country, they deserve better neighbors than us.

    1. @The Zombie Whisperer have you herd ChinaBiden got caught red handed selling out America with Burisma Hunter! 2 pieces of crap there!💩💩🇨🇳🇨🇳👎

    1. What is funny…. and its a MEGA billion dollar joke… is watching people climb over it like its absolutely NOTHING.

    2. 307 miles of wall has been built. I appreciate your precision in defining that in regard to new wall that number would fall to 5.

    3. YUP THAT’S RIGHT DEMTURDS, BUSH AND OBAMA KEPT TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A WALL, BUT TRUMP ACTUALLY DID. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT. TRUMP 2020🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏽

  3. _NOTE! This is an old style broadside not a “Tweet”. As this is not Twitter. If it’s too much for you to handle, move on. But If you are deeply appalled by what’s happening in this Country, read on._

    *VOTE! BECAUSE WE STILL CAN!*
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    _A Broadside_

    *WE HONOR AND CHERISH* the memory, the courage, and the spirit of those Americans who suffered and fought and died whether willingly or unwillingly in the name of our Nation: on the battlefields, on the cotton fields, on the Great Plains and the River Valleys, and those Americans who are today being assaulted, beaten, shot and murdered by unrepentant and undeniably racist police forces befitting a fascist regime, and those Americans who daily fill our hospitals fighting a novel virus, contagious and deadly. But if we wish to make this claim of honor true, first we must honor Truth itself; for, Truth is the only thing that cannot be overcome. *AND TRUTH IS NOW TELLING US WHAT MUST BE DONE!*

    *REGRETFULLY, IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE AND SOUND REFLECTION upon:*

    👉 *His* fluency of falsehoods,
    👉 *His* fear of criticism and responsibility,
    👉 *His* insistence on taking credit where credit is not due,
    👉 *His* deficit of emotion-regulation resulting in juvenile displays, personal attacks and insults unbecoming an adult,
    👉 *His* incumbency and his bid for reelection being void of any plan, agenda, mandate, message, or ideas,
    👉 *His* open threat to decline a peaceful transfer of power should he lose his bid for reelection,
    👉 *His* inability to maintain discretion on social media _and_
    👉 *His* increasingly odious and unstatesmanlike behavior that indicates a pathologically unstable personality such that:
    *President Donald Trump has indisputably forfeited the trust and the confidence of those government confrères in his charge that procure sensitive and secret knowledge of matters affecting national security they cannot in good confidence share with him — their President and Commander-in-Chief!*

    *THIS SITUATION* is unworkable, and gives rise to threats both domestic and foreign to the United States. *WE CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF BEING AFRAID!* Our moment, described as an “Inflection Point”, has come calling and in this election year of 2020, we have something to do — Let this be _OUR_ remedy!

    *OUR NATION* imperfect, ever learning and self-correcting, possesses the keys to enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Nevertheless there come, from time to time, challenges to this ideal that require remediation. In these times we shall insist that our citizenship be recognized and counted, uncontested!

    *AMERICA WILL NOT BE DISGRACED ANY LONGER*

    *The case against the President is prima facie inasmuch as:*

    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been derelict in his duties,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has undermined The Constitution of the United States,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has committed acts of human cruelty at our Nation’s southern border – potentially to include crimes against humanity,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been impeached,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been found and confirmed as having lied to the American people about the true nature of the seriousness of COVID-19,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has not achieved any tangible act toward the betterment of the Nation,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has withheld information he is required by law to produce,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has verbally insulted our Servicemen and Servicewomen in our Nation’s military – calling them “suckers”,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been curiously evasive amid investigations persuant to the nature of his relationship with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has openly encouraged extreme street violence at the level of complicity,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has perverted the utility of America’s federal defense and peace-keeping forces by turning them against America herself!

    _This list of offenses, while not exhaustive, provides more than enough cause to pursue criminal charges!_

    *ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CLEAR, IS OBVIOUS, AND IS TRUE! AS WELL, IT IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE BY ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, BY THE FBI, BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, et al; AND BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION!*

    *FOR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED! ON THE CONTRARY, HE IS A MENACE TO THE PEACE!*

    *THEREFORE:*
    *IN ORDER TO RENDER THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN TERRIBLE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE*

    *WE SHALL* lawfully heed any required safety measures due to COVID-19 without protest or complaint to include wearing face coverings, gloves, and practicing social distancing.

    *AND IN RETURN*
    *WE SHALL NOT* tolerate any barriers, threats, obstructions, hindrances or intrigues of any kind by any party whether from inside the United States or abroad by design or effect that suppresses, deters, delays, denies, manipulates, interrupts, or otherwise alters *OUR CIVIL RIGHT AND OUR CIVIC DUTY TO CAST OUR VOTE, INVIOLATE, AS IT IS GUARANTEED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND — ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY — TO REMOVE AND REPLACE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, AND TO RESTORE THE PEACE!*

    _Publius_

    1. Thank you from your post to every mind on earth. We should have learned these truths before but it’s vital we learn fast now.

  4. IF you can’t see or refuse to see what is happening with trump. You are helping to destroy this country… Keep that in mind when you vote and who you vote for! If you vote for Trump or Republican senators you are HELPING to DESTROY THIS COUNTRY! **Please, don’t be a part of OUR Destruction!**

    1. There’s some beautiful videos of the wall falling on its own. The best wall by the best wall people with the best anti climbing technology and its falling on its own 😅.

    1. @Steve Guardabene you’re right, it was but, it also was a symbol of the inability of one side (in that case the communist side) to devise a better, more human solution to the problem at hand, in that regard, it is the same.

    2. As a veteran, I served in the US army in a divided 1973 Berlin. Their wall, long since destroyed, was ominous, hateful, forbidding, sad, and reprehensible. I was allowed to visit the east one time, dressed in class A’s, as part of an “educational” (propaganda) program. Crossing at checkpoint Charlie gave me a new appreciation of my freedom as an American. Just viewing t-Rumps despicable creation signals doom for our country if allowed to continue. We need to tear it down. Berlin showed us how. It’s evil and we, as Americans are better than that.

    3. @Flapkatt I completely agree with you. It’s a symbol of something we are not and don’t want to be.

    1. In Mexico if you are caught as illegal they put you in prison for five years before they deport you. Are they racist?

    2. Walter Godsoe: : It is not the FIRST WALL – and (God forbid – may not be the last) – but the one in Europe is now DOWN!!! Rumph’s silly “wall” will be down soon too!!

    1. Never never has no President ever did that BUILT wall Separation family and put them caged This shameful and heartless

    2. Trump is doing exactly what Putin asked him to do. Destroying the USA from inside , Putin always said that he wants to bring Russia to its former glory, and the best way to do that is destroying the US and its credibility around the world. I would say mission accomplished for Putin.

  5. That wall is horrible. We all have to pay for that stupid wall everybody anybody that pays taxes. Not trump and his rich friends. That stupid wall has divided this country. God bless you all. Keep fighting for good over evil.

    1. @anne-marie Andrews they have been trying to make the wall the problem was that they all wanted your vote thats why they wouldn’t do it he doesn’t need your vote we the people with commonsense will vote for him i have a wall around my propertys and people respect that and if they don’t they know the consequences this is a country with laws and rules and if you don’t like it go somewhere else TRUMP 2020

    2. @whatsyurprob ? They are talking about NEW WALL. The total built is 360 miles as of today. But that’s simply repair. Further, the wall is super low tech. One can scale it in about 45 seconds. As in children or moms holding a baby. Worse, the metal is so thin, typically they just cut a hole in it and drive right through. Im in Texas and I can assure you, its pathetic.

    3. @whatsyurprob ? Why would any thinking person show up to a super spreader event? You are either stupid or just plane dumb. The only good thing about these events is that many of these people can’t vote. It’s Natural Selection in progress. You have to love our President.. This is from Fox News: President Trump on Monday said the American people are “tired” of the novel coronavirus, and “tired” of Dr. Anthony Fauci “and all these idiots.” God save us from this imbecile. VOTE VOTE VOTE. Track down everyone you know and VOTE BIDEN

    1. From what I’ve been looking up…a lot of them are sick of Black Lives Matter. Look at the website…tell me how anything they have there is good. Abolishing police and refunding military?

    1. @Jacob W. Newman Because the new bill did not support the people. It supported only businesses and not in a way that would support the employees of those businesses.

      Beyond that if you are going to look at Pelosi as a problem then you HAVE to take a look at how many bills McConnell refused to discuss in the senate. He was derelict in his duties. At least Pelosi was trying to pass bills that supported Americans… all Americans not just conservative red states.

  6. I usually don’t give thumps up to MSNBC I watch you don’t agree with some content however
    MSNBC👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 good job !!!
    and this is a wall of HATE

    1. @Ricky Spanish the u.s.a. put up a fence in abbotsford, canadians like it they think it keeps americans out.

    2. @Todd Morningstar
      Have you seen what BLM wants to do on their website? The democrats want to abolish police, refund the military and get rid of immigration policies. How is any of that good?

      I’ve realised how much the media lies now…and I’ve actually decided to listen to the other side. Trust me….they are not hateful people. Listen to the YouTuber BODE LANG.

    3. @The Dracobirthstonian The defund the police thing is more about keeping police in their proper channels instead of expecting them to do everything but deliver mail to your house.

  7. If this young lady does not rouse your desire for justice, then you are not a father, brother, mother, sister, daughter nor son.

    1. The super emotional chick who cried alot and said the wall made her feel bad? You seem to have misconstrued justice for something else.

      There are better ways to solve the illegal immigrant issue than a wall though. Tax companies and not people for example, that would cut the offshoring of american labor and eliminate misconceptions people have about Illegals not paying income tax(they do, just through their boss). Require American Citizenry to only be given to children born in america by a parent who can prove they are legally here. Streamline the process to become an American citizen. Next, and this sounds crazy, but turn healthcare into a single payer system. No one is gonna turn an illegal away from a hospital when they’re having a heart attack, so just assume it’s going to happen and focus on making healthcare simple enough and leveraged enough through efficiency of scale for it not to really matter. Legalize drugs, making them safer and allowing tax money to be made off of them. This would also mean no more cops committing reckless homicide against anymore Brianna Taylors as well. Lots of things to do, the wall is ultimately just going to require upkeep money and not really work anyway.

      But as for justice, don’t conflate it with a woman’s tears, too much evil in the world exists because of such sentiments.

    1. Listen to the YouTuber BODE LANG.
      Furthermore, nations around the world have walls. It is not bad to defend a nation’s border. Stop blaming white-folk.
