  1. I want the hospitals, nursing homes, doctors offices and labs remember if you want to thank these worker give them a fair wage, health care and pension increase.

    1. @rolback Wrong!!! The highest paid people are not professionals of anything. Stars of Music & Film take the cake on that front!

    2. @wiremantw Freedom & Liberty Forever : don’t cry too hard weirdo, your red rubber nose might fall off.

    3. @Ruby Ice Just find your brain girl. Its a terrible thing to loose. It makes you look stupid & illiterate. Nothing wrong with me, my brain works and it even thinks for itself.
      You on the other hand must be spoon fed what to think & believe. I find that pathetic!
      But your a deranged democrat & that is common among you idiots. Now try learning how to spell.

  2. Trump mails in vote while opposing mail ballots. Supreme Court forced people in Wisconsin to go to the polls while it was conducting its own business virtually. Notice the hypocrisy here?

    1. @Michael Beasley They’ve been caught 4x fixing presidential elections… I say get rid of Washington DC entirely because they serve Corporate America and Communist China not the American people

    1. @Michel F What is the primary benefit to keep public in mass-hysteria
      re: COVID-19?
      Think voting.
      Are you awake yet?
      Q

    2. @R L T Have you ever lived in Oregon? We have little corruption, and when it does occur, we deal with it. Rather shallow trolling, btw.

    3. @Peg Marson OREGON is infested with leftists accustomed to the merits of voter fraud to achieve their dubious objectives.

  3. It’s so silly that only in America politician campaign for years, and when it’s time to vote you get only 1 day to vote. 🤨

    1. I get my ballot more than two weeks before the election date. I can fill it out and return it by mail, at my convenience. Oregon

    2. @Just a bystander She was informed enough to use her phone to request an absentee ballot, and intelligent enough to plan ahead. Sounds to me that you and bitchy Phillip are the ignorant, small minded ones. Her point is valid.

    3. Deborah Freedman sure we are but we don’t work day and night to save lives. you judge and may i do to but don’t you think there could be a reasonable question why she can’t or may vote ? 🤔🤔 who’s ignorant now. Besides i think they have a lot more on their mind then election day

    4. @Phillip Ridgway i respectfully disagree, it literally took me, an old lady with double vision, 10 minutes to get check out how to request my absentee ballot and scan my id on my phone. People pay bills, order groceries, pizza,, text friends and family with out a thought. i am sure she is busy nurses always work hard and now they work harder than ever which is precisely my point. If voting was so important toher, she could have and should have taken the ten minuets to get an absentee ballot. It is false to imply she couldnt vote when she could have. It is false to say we only have one day to vote IF we have months ahead of an election day to get an absentee ballot. I worked in a hospital laboratory, sometines 12 hour days i was always concerned about something interfering with my getting to the poll. It happened to me once i didnt want it to happen again. So i have voted absentee for years.

  4. All of congress should be stripped of their healthcare bennies so they can see what it’s like to be a real American.

    1. @Facts First I’m a real American but don’t have health care from my employer. To say only real American people have employer provided healthcare is naive or ignorant and insulting.

    2. @Julian Crooks “from my employer” Okay, so put your big boy pants on and buy some. I never said anything about “employer provided.” Seems as though what you really want is for someone else to give it to you. Nothing is preventing you from buying healthcare, which is a luxury, not a right. You can start a health savings account, set up direct-pay with your doctor, pay with cash, or any of several other options.

    3. @Iris As an Australian, l can say we have those very same things here. On healthcare (and many other measures), the USA is not of the status of Developed Nations. Fully fact checked.

    4. Michael Brodie Thank God for having good education and being taught research & critical thinking. Things we just take it for granted. I don’t know about you guys, but we find it baffling that the majority of the people in the States think it is an awful thing to be imposed on them. Takes away their right to chose, or some such ridiculous nonsense. I choose lower cost, higher quality healthcare for myself & my society at large. In Canada, I am considered conservative. In the States, I would be a rabid Bernie Bro! I hope Australia is staying safe. ❤️🇨🇦

    1. Dorothy Melia is so wish that was so. My partner watches Murdoch’s Sky News, supports Trump, and when I try to get him to listen to Trump, he gets very cross. He’ a Liberal and quite conservative but isn’t stupid so, go figure. He is a narcissist though and that may the reason.

  5. That is just it…tRuMp planned on doing absolutely nothing. Wake up America before it’s to late, or maybe it already is.

    1. Diane laughalot alas it’s almost impossible there is hope for americans to survive not only the virus but also your elected dictator..never as a canadian did i think i would say that about what was once the land of the free and the ,home of the brave..big teardrop…🇨🇦🇨🇦

    2. Before Covid-19, ignorance had already stripped 63-million U.S. eligible voters of their humanity. Oddly enough, what the 2016 Elections brought upon us has been more tragic and lethal. Inhumane treatment of others based on race, ethnicity, sexual preferences and/or religious affiliations. Contrary to all the evilness the rise of trumpism has tried to foster in our land, this pandemic is bringing back our humanity. Granted, there is a long way to go! But with one U.S. citizen dying every 45-seconds, the fate of trumpism is sealed. We Shall Overcome!

    1. Jane Thorne – Oregon is such a socially advanced state. Has been for many years. Seriously thinking of moving there.

    2. @Rhi Kaos This is your argument:
      “Hey here’s this totally vague statement with zero proof or examples.”
      Yea great. I’m so proud of you.

  6. Why are tax payers paying for politicians’ health care while the same taxpayers are denied health care from their own taxes?

    1. @Bronte I agree but this is not a Republican or Democratic issue. They ALL want the ability to have great health insurance and the ability to vote themselves pay raises. I think they should have to offer us the excellent health insurance they have at an affordable price. They should have to pay the same amount for theirs as do we. ALSO , we should be the ones that decide when they get a raise and how much. It should be voted on by the American people. Their so called COLA % is seems greater than our. Social Security COLA is ridiculous. It generally will add money to a check but insurance premiums go up higher. SS checks end up increased by a few dollars or actually be less due to insurance premiums rate hikes. I digress. Bottom line.. We should decide the salary Congress makes. Again, they shouldn’t have better insurance policies than the rest of us.

    2. Prophetess
      For the same reason that the civil service retirement system is on Wall Street and the Washington politicians retirement system is not . Which means that the civil service employees retirement take a hit every time wall street takes a hit .

  7. Shameless criminal #45. Always has been. Always will be. Make him go away in November, America. VOTE BLUE.

    1. Ok..what mythological candidate comes close..blue? Oh ..it’s diatribe dribble . I am rest assured that we in usa have to live with blue tards

    2. @Puttentane Same Keep a chin up lad. Trump needs to get the resistance into quarantine. So far death is most where blue voters roam. Upon passing a test for any diseases the matter of re entry back into real america…the heartland…would be a re entry exam. Even then he should track them so the unamerican tripe can be hobbled to reduce sickness.

    1. aliens99 xx Trump is acting like a fire fighter that showed up too late to contain the blaze. He is trying to focus on who started the fire instead of getting the fire hose out and trying to do something about it. Even now his efforts are at deflecting, spreading this information, leveraging the Crisis to attack the long list of enemies he has created and we still don’t have enough test kits and a plan and a cure.

    2. @joe Person Everyone sees through your deception. Didn’t you get the memo? YOU have lost, reconcile.
      The Silent War continues..
      JUSTICE IS COMING

  8. This is all Trump’s fault for it being so bad could had saved life’s in the 70 days he did nothing.

    1. Make that seven months! The international community was alerted in October 2019! Many countries started shelter-in-place almost immediately and have managed to keep the rapid growth of the virus from overwhelming their healthcare system infrastructure. In the USA, the Federal administration opted for a very different agenda. A political one! Shameful. Actually, criminal. Time would tell.

    2. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and destruction of the economy, are small prices to pay in order to destroy Trump. — A loving, caring and compassionate Liberal/Progressive/Leftist with unconditional empathy and kindness.

  9. This administration has done absolutely nothing to help Americans deal with this pandemic . Trumpler is cheating, once again, to get get elected

    1. Ahahahah! TUPOS! Bravo! It’s actually a real word here in Serbia! And it means exactly this! A dumb person… TUPO is something with no sharp edges… Useless Knife…

    2. long nose 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Donald Trump best president in the history of the United States. Louis done employment hottest market and we’d be even further if we didn’t have the fake news and morons like Lawrence O’Donnell

    3. Alfred Pasly Thank God we have a president like Donald Trump and you should get down on your knees every night and pray that you learn grammar. Moron

  10. Funny, when you are wealthy and well connected you magically recover for COVID-19. Why is that?

  11. I hope Joe Biden and the Democratic party have a plan to win this election. We have to get control of the senate and the presidency in order to stop this crazy power grab by the far right.

    1. @L Whitaker Presidents aren’t elected…they’re selected…Let’s hope they are sick of the learning disabled charlatan they installed, and choose senile Biden, another one whom they can manipulate…

    2. @Michele Kett Obama was the drone king…Biden is senile…It all comes down to whom the global elite will select…They have been installing incompetents since the assassination of Kennedy…

    3. Karen Contestabile Trump is the most incompetent yet, so why do Americans not vote to get what they need in leadership?

  12. I am going to keep repeating this. If mr trump looses the election, he will go to prison in New York State. Every breath he takes is to stop that.There is nothing he won’t do to stop that. He has absolutely no conscience what so ever. He will do what ever he can to stop mail in voting.

    1. If it ever reaches the point where Trump could be imprisoned, will he claim ‘mental health issue’s’ anything to avoid consequences of a lifetime of conmanship? .

    2. From what I’ve read and reports I’ve heard, you are correct. The flip side of it, and scary as well, is that if that con gets in another term, the statute of limitations will make criminal process impossible. We simply must vote this asshat out in November. WITHOUT FAIL.
      People calling for a revolution here it is:

      JOIN THE FIFTY MILLION MARCH IN NOVEMBER STRAIGHT TO THE BALLOT BOX

      END THIS IDIOCY AMERICA!!

    3. Yes I think you are spot on.
      His greatest fear is going to jail, but also releasing his finances which will show that he is not the billionaire he claims to be. What a loser and the Trumpsters too

    4. You are spot on. The Southern District of New York are just biding their time sitting on several indictments from campaign violations, money laundering, charity run fraud just to name a few, AND the Attorney General of N.Y waiting to indict him the moment he leaves office.
