    1. @Funny T-Shirts Binden will be crying the blues after he loses and no one to sniff

    2. Biden is a professional politician with 50 years experience. He helped China get ‘Most Favored Nation Trading Status’, forcing American workers to compete with Chinese prison slave labor. Biden was paid handsomely by the Chinese communists and is a rich man today, but it cost America over 10 million jobs and destroyed our manufacturing base. Among Biden’s other claims to fame was his Crime Bill, one of the key contributors to mass incarceration in the 1990s, it led to more prison sentences, more prison cells, and more aggressive policing especially hurting black and brown Americans. Biden voted for the Iraq war which killed nearly 2 million innocent people and spread hundreds of tons of depleted uranium over the Earth. He voted to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act which led to the Savings and Loan debacle and massive bank bailouts costing taxpayers 160 billion dollars. He voted for changes to welfare rules making it harder for families to get the assistance they need. Trump is just a self made billionare who knows how to run a successful company with thousands of emploiees. He has no experience as a professional career politician and can’t be bribed or bought like one. He removed America from GATT, NAFTA, and TPP, bad trade deals that were bleeding America of hundreds of billions of dollars every year. Trade deals made by corrupt professional politicians like Biden who line their pockets by selling out their country. Trump reduced unemployment to its lowest level in 50 years and brought our manufacturing back from Asia, something Obama said couldn’t be done. Trump reopened 7 closed steel mills bringing American steel manufacturing back. He got permanent funding for black colleges, and passed prison reform, which Obama promised to do but never did. With 2.2 million people behind bars in the United States meaningful prison reform was long overdue. Thousands were set free from serving long prison sentences for minor and non-violent crimes while saving the taxpayer millions of dollars. President Trump’s list of accomplishments is long and amazing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/  Within his first two years in office he has achieved more for the American people than any president in history. Although Trump is not a professional Washington politician like Biden, he has proven to be a great and brilliant leader. The globalist media and tech giants have marched in lockstep to destroy President Trump since the 2016 election. Propaganda, smears, lies, and media hit jobs have utterly blotted out Trump’s accomplishments. Those who control the social media have created a generation of conformists and followers. Although lied to repeatedly they continue to believe to think to hate exactly as they are told. In both social and broadcast media the president is under constant and unrelenting attack. Every day a new scandal, a new accusation, a new lie, a new smear. All this from a tiny gang of trillionaires who are extremely angry that Trump took America away from them four years ago, and for a brief instant made it free and great again. Their will supersedes that of the American people. Irregardless of any democratic election they will not allow Trump to be the president of the United States. They have determined that America will go back to mediocrity, corruption, exploitation, business as usual. China will stop paying tariffs and pay much less in the form of bribes. Globalists and their corrupt political puppets will go back to looting, enslaving, and killing the American people as they see fit. The globalist media will tell the people how good it is that Trump has been removed and how happy everybody is, and what a good president Biden is. Hitler’s propaganda Minister Goebbels said ‘repeat a lie often enough and it becomes accepted as truth’. Eventually the people will accept what Big Brother social media says and what the globalist broadcast media tells them. Because when they hear the same lie coming from all sources simultaneously it must be truth.

  1. A billion Americans with 40% of them stupid enough to vote for Trump? That would be the end of humanity on this planet.

    1. @Tessmage Tessera yeah you can tell by all the cities on fire because of systematic racism yet want to vote for a guy thats been involved in the system for how long? Hate all cops they are racists prisons are full of innocent black guys yet want to vote for a v.p that put how many there? Sounds like dem logic.

    2. @DanOgre Smith Dem logic is what led to the historic blue wave of 2018. And you’re going to see it again, in the even more epic blue wave of 2020. Enjoy the show.

    3. Tessmage Tessera let’s hope…. I thought we were going to win last time. Americans have let their country down multiple times since I first voted I for President in 1972.

  2. Great more breeding cattle 1/3 of the population is so stupid it couldn’t find its way out of a paper bag and you want to have 600 million moreWe don’t need to overrun every part of the country every beautiful point that we have with another person

    1. @urbanimage exactly what a soy boy would say, at lesst you admit youre a snowflake bigot who cant handle freedom and opinions that differ from yours

    2. LMAO what a tonedeaf thing to say… obviously you haven’t been outside your bubble yet. although the homeless situation in california does give America that authentic 3rd world feel

  3. No, Not a good ideal, look at China… 1.4B population, think about the logistic to support that even with American land (young only 200 years of land usage).

  4. Triple our population? Say goodbye to what’s left of our beautiful natural landscape. My guess is this guy has never stepped off the urban sidewalks.

  5. Whaaa what makes America great,,, our people he said, most ignorant species in the world,, you are your own worst enemy.

    1. @Schuyler Ebbets Oh come on! There’s hardly anyone in the Democratic Party worthy of being called a Democratic Socialist let alone anything more left-wing.

    2. problem is… maga thinks they are the only type of republicans… wallstreet/corporate people are elites. and to them elites are liberals. i truly believe that. i believe they think middle-class equals republicans. they already monopolized (or tried to) the military, religion, and even the 2nd amendment.

    3. @MyAVidCuration Agree with many points… But what Dims have failed to admit is How Many Democratic “Leaders” are MORE Supportive of STOCKHOLDERS & Lobbyists than America’s Working Class, which they have IGNORED. Trump EXPLOITING them…which they seem to prefer over being Ignored???

    1. After burning and looting 400 cities and murdered over 1400 people Democrats are winning! Death to America! Go Biden! Not

    1. Agreed, it is insane, what is wrong with these people? I like MSNBC and Joe for some info. But humans are consuming two Earth”s now. We must voluntarily reduce population of the next one hundred years.

    2. In Australia we have similar fools that promote this insanity. The only winner from this would be the business owners that sell the goods and services to the extra population. Most people consume more than they produce. These whack jobs never follow their thought processes to the logical end and wonder what the Earth would become if EVERY nation populated to the max!

    1. America would still be sparsely populated with a billion people! You simply have no idea how vast America is! If I were President I’d be welcoming to immigrants. Immigrants are like food to our economy! What??? You didn’t know???

    2. Revenge of Ramen Smith True! Because too many people don’t believe in global warming is real. But if every country has a population like China, this planet can’t handle it!
