  1. Here is a question to both parties. Why are all our politicians millionaires? How is this representation? There clothes cost more than I make in a month. Why have we accepted this?

    1. @PAPA Giarnella … Sound like a PERFECT Description Of Mitch McConnell’s 40 Year Career in the Senate. VOTE And Demand Full Public Funding and Term Limits. Now McConnell is selling American Institutions to FOREIGN As Well as DOMESTIC Donors (Google: $7 5 Million Dollars; Russian born Len BLAVATNIK And Russian Oligarch Oleg DERIPASKA $200 Million in Kentucky, RUSAL; Chinese born James S Chao; along with Koch Brothers, Mercer Family Foundation).

    2. @Ann Owens Restoring properly drawn district maps ends the widespread gerrymandering which is an un-American impediment to our votes and the Will of the People. This also makes our votes count as cast, and once again, we can vote out of office reps who do not represent. Term limits, where tried, have been shown to cause apathy in office, as no one can stay very long. Eliminate the poison intrusion of Big $ upon our elections/govt.-it is the causative factor in all our major difficulties.

  2. Officials at the Dept of Homeland Security struggled to get the Trump administration to pay attention to the threat of violent domestic extremists.
    His tweets are the reason the Governor of Michigan was targeted.
    WE ARE NOT SAFE IN TRUMP’S WORLD

    1. Michael should should be praised for helping the. Authorities Trump just used him like he used everyones he can.

    2. Targeted? You mean because people said mean things to her? Remember all of the GOP members getting chased out of public places? Remember Maxine Waters telling people to do that? Do you know who the Brown Shirts were and what they did? Striking resemblance.

    3. As opposed to The intelligence agencies alont with Biden-Obama, DNC, Hillary, colluting to overthrow a duly elected president, not accepting peacefully the results of the elections, unlawfully spying on a presidential candidate, illegally obtaining FISA warrants to spy on Americans and A presidential candidate. shall I go on.. Best…watch “the plot against the President” documentary film released just now.

  3. Adolf, Mussolini, Stalin, Lenin, Kim Jung Un, Idi Amin, MBS, and Putin all did the same thing. So of course Trump wants to follow in the footsteps of his idols.

    1. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 no wonder why you believe in Trump. What is propaganda?
      People will lie as history teaches.
      You can’t see the scam if the one who is telling you is selling you.

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Trump believes Putin over American intelligence agencies including the Republican party intelligence committee in his own words not a person selling ithttps://youtu.be/-ZJYAcFeoSM

    3. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 why would you believe opinions over words spoken by the one who is telling different.
      History teaches as people will lie.
      Go back in time to see Trump scam.
      Do you want to live with a dictator?
      Hitler convinced millions but how?

    1. I’m skeptical of the conversion of someone with such a long career in evilness. Remember, he wasn’t just a paper pusher for Trump, he was one of Trump’s goons. I admit, he’s charming and I want to like him, but I know better than to trust him.

    1. @Joe Wynne More. Couple things. He was 6’3″ at one time. His youngest son is evidence of that. But no way is he 6’3″ now. And no way is he that 245 or so weight being passed around. Any chubbster will tell you Don is up around 298. And those catalytic steroids are going to make him very hungry. That nondisclosure agreement at the hospital didn’t include a nurse hanging up his pants and peking at his belt size. Which is probably around 56.

    1. @jas gill The sixty million with no brain deserve FAUX news what else can keep their brain occupied.They need their daily brainwash.

    2. He needs to go anyway. He has been committing Congressional malpractice by refusing to bring the Work of the People to OUR Senate Floor so OUR Senators can do the Work of the People vote on legislation.

    3. Meh really just fox and friends, it seems like some other anchors are finally getting off their knees if you know what I mean

    1. @john murder lol, aren’t you paying attention? Trump is a criminal bro – why do you even care about Hunter Biden?

  4. NEVER EVER FORGET – The Trump Propaganda Playbook is all too simple – “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels

    1. Repeat a lie all you want– it is still a lie; people in large part will, unfortunately simply become inured to, innoculated by, or complacent to it if it is heard constantly without being challenged or checked or corrected. However, it still remains– a lie.

    2. @Patricia Soebagio the vulgar crowd is always taken by appearances, only a few will see what actually is…

      a man who wants to.deceive will always find a crowd…

      niccolo machiavelli

    3. If you want real brainwashing evidence, youtube, “media using key words” or “liberal media dog whistles.” See if you have been influenced if your thoughts are your own?

    4. Trumps supporters believe this as well. The most long standing repeated lie is that Gods are real. Do you believe?

    1. Uh, we have one party. It’s called the corrupt donor party.
      Ever think why Nancy Pelosi gives Trump everything he wants? Then pretends on camera to oppose him? Lollollollollol.
      One party rule baby.

    2. Scott Comstock all Obama did was reveal how many vicious white supremacists flipped out because a black man was overwhelmingly embraced by the majority of people in the United States. It’s a revelation.

  5. Trump is a façade. Look up “Trumpery” in the dictionary. Showy but worthless. That’s him alright.

    1. Trump is going to pull the trigger. This will happen. But first he is going to run the same course that Republicans want as well. He will threaten war with either Iran or N Korea by sending Troops. Then he will challenge the election results. Then he will abandon Republicans and begin arresting all his political foes, intellectuals, journalists and opposition in his own party. Trump will attempt to ban use of firearms in districts he deems “unfriendly”.

      And right before it is time to swear in Joe Biden as President, Trump will launch.

    1. I think the fact that he has gotten away with so much openly sleazy behavior for so long -for example not paying contractors and vendors, shows that he has people in positions of authority helping him – people who can intimidate others into backing down for fear of retaliation; people who can set up those who stand up to the sleazebag trump yet not have the power to stop his private mafia because it is so extensive and connected to authority.

      The business world thinks he is a joke according to Bloomberg, who I believe. trump has never been a successful businessman. Any other business person doing just some of the things he has done over the years would have been jailed long ago. I’m not just talking about his russian mafia links. I’m talking about his larger “private” mafia in a position of authority. There is a reason why cops are trump’s biggest supporters, and it is a lot more than the public support he gives them.

  6. This is like 1930’s Germany. I’m not an American but I’ve studied 20th century history. This man is the most dangerous world leader since Hitler. Get rid of him while you can.

  7. Trump has an authoritarian mindset. He is America’s Mussolini & his is using his base & they are too dumb to know this.

    1. B Sha, Trump will throw anyone and everyone in jail and cause a mega spreading condition of COVID-19 to the worst degrees, if not straight-up telling the Department of Homeland Security to commit a series of massacres and genocide IF HE LOSES THE ELECTION

    2. Mussolini was shot and beaten to death with hammers. They broke every bone in his body. And his corpse was hung and displayed from the central train station. That’s how you deal with dictator’s.

    3. Delusional tds on full display here.
      Heels Up Harris spouted non stop debunked lies. I understand the msnbc crowd here has a willingness to believe and intellectual laziness to look anywhere else to fact check or get another opinion, but the losers in cemetery comment, debunked, Russian bounties, debunked, and the good people hoax is clever editing to falsely frame the comments. You may just be too lazy to find the entire comment and only want to listen to a portion out of context, or a victim of media brain washing. In either case, you’re all pretty pathetic.

    1. Trump is voted out? Now what? In 4-8 years we’ll get another Trump after Biden just like we ended up with this one after 8 years of Obama.

  8. Trump doesn’t have negotiating strategy. He runs in, runs his mouth, tries to bully then slinks away and claims victory.

  9. People we need to get this crazy, guy out of the white house, this is nuts 🥜 something has to be, done!!!! Tired of this lunatic.

    1. @CM Singletary bidem doesnt owe 400 million to china, last i checked, i wasnt own by china when bidep was vp for 8 yeara and powerful congressman for triple that time, i do hope bidem send the cia after u and make u disappear, less idiots like is wat the world needs

    2. @Tex AJP President of iran ON OURS SIDE TOO.HE TOLD TRUMP.YOUR A CRIMINAL.AND THE WHOLE COUNTRY HATED YOU.AND TRUMP GOTS HIS LEADER KILLED. IRAN HAS A BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD 80 MILLIONS. TRUMP GOT A BRICK WALL AROUND THE FAKE HOUSE.

    3. No communist would be as dumb as trump. Trump is a fascist dictator in the tradition of Mussolini and Hitler. Those of us more libertarian minded see both Trump and Biden as horrible directions for the country. Americans deserve freedom, trump wants a police state where everyone is arrested if they don’t obey trump.

    4. @CM Singletary OH YEAH HAVE A WORD FOR YOU .WE ALL WILL BEING LIVING IN RUSSIA.ALREADY PARTS THERE NOWS. SO CHINA ON OURS SIDE AND THEY LETS THE BULLY KNOWS ABOUT THE VIRUS.ON NOV.21ST AND DID NOTHING ITS NOT YOUR FAMILY.THATS PASSED AWAY ??? THEN YOU WILL KNOWS BETTER.
