    1. @Renee Reinhardt Defund means to remove funding. If you meant something else, you should have said something else. Saying later, I didn’t mean to say the thing I said makes no sense. Words have meaning, in future, use the correct words. This stupid slogan, dreamed up by idiots, cost us members of the House, and of many state houses. There was no excuse for such a moronic slogan, stop trying to make them. If you meant “Assist the Police” you should have said that.

  1. It absolutely baffles me why anyone would have thought to honour traitors by naming bases after them to house the army that defeated their treason. And that’s leaving to one side that Braxton Bragg was such as bad General that even his own officers and troops hated him!

    1. @C. Cadon
      Canada is 70% Socialist..30% Communist…Biden wants us to become like Canada , a Shithole country…which is why more people want to emigrate from Canada to USA than vice versa….😀

    1. And they got exactly what they wanted. Only this man isn’t a good businessman. I don’t blame Trump, he is what he is and always has been. I blame the idiots who voted him in and then tried to do it again.

    2. If a nondescript link to a pathetic maggat-channel could save Apricot Pol Pot’s sorry size XXXXL kaboose, then he would be just fine.
      BREAKING NEWS: That’s not how it works 🤣

    3. The American People thought George W Bush was going to run the country like a business too.
      This is what happens when you try to apply sheisty business practice to governance.
      These Neo-Cons are not competent to run a lemonade stand so of course they need 370 million chumps at gun point to make themselves and their grifter buddies rich! Since they lack the skills needed to do it honestly.

  2. Congress will just override trump’s veto, and there isn’t a damned thing he can do about it. This is just more theatrics from diaper don.

    1. @Lisa C. Humble Dunno either. Congress can override a presidential veto, been done hundreds of times. Once that’s done, that’s the end of it, it becomes law.

    2. The problem is Congress doesn’t care either. If they did they would kick Trump out. But Congress apparently wants America to go to war and be overthrown. Maybe the military will do something about it in 4 weeks. After all, they have the motive. When they kick Trump out they’ll get their funding. Even if they have to go through Trump supporters to get to him.

    3. @Lisa C. Humble Trump will not sign OR veto the bill, therefore the bill is in limbo; it goes nowhere. Trump is thumbing his nose at all of America because he is a petty, sore loser.

  3. Well he did call the men and women in uniform suckers
    It would be a shame if there were any Trump supporters in the military
    Just a shame

    1. I’m a veteran: Trump is by far the worst president in US history. And he’s widening the gap between himself and the other loser presidents who came before.

  4. trump is just being spiteful. His giving the finger to as many Americans as possible before he takes The Walk of Shame!

  5. Let the Military drag the S.O.B. OUT of the White House. Deal with the legal issues later. Set precedence that we will not be controlled by a lunatic!

    1. I believe under article V of the constitution we have to be at war in order to charge someone with treason, unfortunately

    2. @Lisa C. Humble wrote: “I believe under article V of the constitution we have to be at war in order to charge someone with treason, unfortunately” …… Constitutional definition of treason: Section 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. No, we don’t have to be in a shooting war in order for someone to commit teason.

  6. OUR Brave men and women, should NEVER, have to worry about money, housing, food, healthcare, schooling, life insurance etc.. They are All Willing to Die for OUR COUNTRY OUR CITIZENS..

    1. And those who are badly injured during their service shouldn’t have to worry about that after their service, either. But our veterans aren’t faring well under Trump. Is anyone surprised?

    2. Please allow me to amend that. In a nation as wealthy as ours there is no reason ANYONE should have to worry about anything you just listed. Not just the military.

    1. @Brenten Smith Bull💩. Trump- not Biden- has a Chinese bank account. Trump- not Biden- paid more taxes to China than he ever paid to America. And Ivanka _Trump_- not Biden- has exclusive Chinese trademark patents worth millions. Whining that Biden is the one supposedly in China’s pocket is Trump Grade Projection.

    2. @Brenten Smith lol u know best, proper socialism is the Nordic countries, in Northern Europe and its working quite superior to the USA there happy and it’s because it ain’t the people vs the government, they actually get protected by the government due to all the social services, with higher taxes a 49%+ they still be glad to pay it due to how happy and good they are, but since you Americans are so under educated on other countries, you wouldn’t know, but you also clearly don’t know that China is a communist country that also has a totally different meaning to socialism, but U KNOW BEST🤣
