    1. Wait until Trump kills the aca after the election. That’s when old republican tears will taste better but they’ll blame “democrats” 😂🤣😂🤣.

    1. Exactly…it’s gone, I was just going to comment on that. Did you see that 2 days ago on the 22nd, Texas had the most cases EVER on record…It was 17, 820!! This is far from over and with the opening of schools etc and letting businesses up their capacities, I’d bet that we’ll start to see the cases rise again. Thus having to eventually close back down again. We need help now!! I’m so sick of hearing that everything is GREAT…it’s NOT!

  1. Multi-Millionaires CEOs and Billions Dollar Airline Companies are asking for a Bail-out and Republicans are willing to help them.
    For the Grace of God, the rest of us, we are probably going to get Cake!

    1. @nsumlar he knew the dangers of coronavirus from the start thats why he banned travrl from china and later europe but what did you call it xenophobic and anti Chinese and also the American economy and people could of been much better the Democrats voted to help the Republicans to pass another economic stimulus bill but Democrats refused and also what is the problem with sending masks to businesses and non profit alot would have hard time buying those already while paying there employees and maintaining a building and also i liberals have said it your self that fauci is fake so have given trump a reason to not listen to the experts cause you said they were fake and also Democrat governor of California worked with trump to deal with coronavirus while Democrat of governor of new york refused and look at the results California despite being the largest populated state (larger than Canada) had for a time low coronavirus cases than new york but you blame trump for not taking it seriously from the start when joe biden was holding from march

    2. the TELLER1 Trump lies. HHS and health officials came to a consensus on those bans. They were not his idea and Trump allowed over 8000 nationals from Hong Kong and Chinese territories in. He delayed the European ban for weeks for fear, again, it would spook the stock market and adversely affect his re-election chances. No one in the US opposed the China travel ban. Biden agreed with it because health officials proposed it. He said no one had time for Trumps racism referring to Trump calling coronavirus the “China virus.” There were a lot of hate crimes being perpetrated against Asian Americans early in the pandemic and we did not need additional fuel for the fire. Another lie: Democrats did not suggest partying in Chinatown. Pelosi encouraged people to patronize Chinese American’s businesses in China town because people were irrationally avoiding them. This was before any evidence of community spread of virus. Public health officials had stated we need not change our lifestyles as long as cases were confined to the travel related variety. But when there was evidence of community spread we would need to become more vigilant.

    3. the TELLER1 You are believing that Fauci is fake. I can’t help you on your conspiracy theory belief in that. What is he profiting off of vaccine development? Getting paid by George Soros and Bill Gates? Is he a pedophile too? Or maybe you believe that discredited scientist Mikovitz who was caught self contaminating her own data with mouse retroviruses—the one that supposedly discredited him. Well You lose all credibility when you start with conspiracy theories and start your nonsensical ranting about Cuomo and California. Go back to pretend land where everything Trump does is right and all Democrats are evil.

    4. @the TELLER1 who’s fault is it that Trump got himself impeached? How are you that stupid? How do you remember to breathe?

  2. Obama left tRump a robust Economy & Bankruptcy King tRump has made it anemic, obtuse & has ruined it all in under 3 yrs. Imagine what he would do to it if given another 4 or 12 yr mandate like he wants?

  3. While businesses around the country close, Donald Trump created jobs for grave diggers & morgues. He gotta go…..vote America, VOTE!!!!#BIDENHARRIS2020

  4. Ummmm lord & Taylor’s is going out of business, JC penny’s these are big owner. 80% of black owned business did not get any relief assistance.

    1. @Charles Byrge, I am so tired of morons like yourself pretending like you have a clue what is going on. I own bars and restaurants and black owned businesses got screwed. That’s a fact. Study after study has proved that black owned businesses were not given federal funds on purpose. You inbred maga mutants are just stunningly stupid. Always wanting to join in a conversation that you’re not smart enough to know anything about.

  5. Trump couldn’t care less about the working class. He’s conman! He actually has disdain for these folks. He uses them, like he uses everyone he touches and then disposes of them when they’re no longer useful. He considers them expendable….certainly not essential 😷🤮

  6. “Only I can save America from the hate, lies, fear mongering, racism, destroyed economy and violance that I created” – Donald J Putin ☝️🤔😵😵😵😵

    1. @the TELLER1 let’s see ever hear of the southern strategy? Thsts what happened you moron. Again pay attention to us history.

    2. @the TELLER1 If you can’t express yourself through the written word, stop trying. Nobody understands this gibberish.

    3. @Tyeler Nowell how am i moron it is clear you don’t know your history cause the Republicans were doing well in the south before 1964 take 1928 1952 and 1956 in those 3 elections Republicans won many states in the south also Goldwater opposed the civil rights act cause he thought it was a states issue not national issue and not cause he was racist get your history right bud

    4. @Zebra Zagadore what cause what i am saying is the truth and nothing in what i wrote i hard to write ironic you Republicans dumb but you can’t understand a simple text

  7. And it isn’t a coincidence that after giving 3 trillion dollars in tax cuts to the rich we’re suddenly 3 trillion dollars less coming into our coffers every year

  8. Stimulus is dead, unemployment benefits will end after election, the government doesn’t care about the people unless they are rich elite

    1. The economy will open back fully, like it should be now. Covid will disappear! And if the MSM, campaign headquarters for the Democrats, would have urged Nancy & Chuck to sign the “smaller” relief Bill the Republicans proposed, they would have shown their support of these people. It is obvious the Dems don’t care about them and they are again trying to Blame Trump instead of working with this administration! America will remember who was trying to help these people when it is time to vote. Democrats supporting the BLM RIOTS and not helping Americans in need! Open up America, TRUMP 2020!

    2. @David Eby If it wasn’t for Nancy you wouldn’t have got one red cent. Mitch Bill doesn’t have ANY benifits for Americans. Nancy said and you can read it for yourself that Moscow Mitch is not interesting in protecting big Companies from being sued if you get the Virus. There is no Unemployment money, no nothing for regular folks there. He has the PP Loans in there for busineses as well. So quit blaming the Dems! They’ve had their packet in there since May. Mitch them lied…. They nevered were going to give out anything else and you can bet your bottom dollar we want have anything until a new President is installed. Believe me, I have been around for 12 Presidents and worked in Government for several decades.
      Welcome to the 1930’s Depression. Read it and you will understand. The Republicans cause that too.

    3. @Lady Day The whole stimulus is stalled because Nasty wants bail outs for Democrat cities that let Democrat rioters destroy everything. Democrats did it,I don’t want to pay for it.

  9. You say there’s no wheel to get this done get the Democrats have had a bill sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk for 6 months Mitch McConnell refuses to even look at it vote on it or bring it to the floor

    1. Communities need to band together ASAP to create food security in local, secured, urban community grounds or derelict building sites. Seed fruit&veg that grow well in your State’s climate. Prepare to, at minimum, offset grocery costs in disadvantaged communities. Save any money for buying&freezing meats and such. You cannot just trust&rely on Republicans *not* obstructing subsidies in the future. And who knows, permanently blocking it in the courts! You can always compost what you grow if nobody uses it.

      Also: balcony farming 🤷‍ *Where the balcony is sufficiently stable to hold the weight of heavy pots of soil*

    2. @Col Wars Studio Brickfilm and more! 🤣 Yep. The inert orange should definitely do something….such as…perhaps…honouring the vote 🤷‍♀️

  10. “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” ― *Mark Twain/Samuel Langhorne Clemens*
