    1. @Michigan Wolverine You do realize that more Conservatives utilize abortions than Liberals, right?
      You do realize that the Christian Bible only mentions Abortion 10 times, and all 10 times it supports and defends Abortion….right?
      Ten biblical episodes and prophecies provide an unequivocal expression of God’s attitude toward human life, especially the ontological status of “unborn children” and their pregnant mothers-to-be. Brief summaries:
      β€’ A pregnant woman who is injured and aborts the fetus warrants financial compensation only (to her husband), suggesting that the fetus is property, not a person (Exodus 21:22-25).
      β€’ The gruesome priestly purity test to which a wife accused of adultery must submit will cause her to abort the fetus if she is guilty, indicating that the fetus does not possess a right to life (Numbers 5:11-31).
      β€’ God enumerated his punishments for disobedience, including “cursed shall be the fruit of your womb” and “you will eat the fruit of your womb,” directly contradicting sanctity-of-life claims (Deuteronomy 28:18,53).
      β€’ Elisha’s prophecy for soon-to-be King Hazael said he would attack the Israelites, burn their cities, crush the heads of their babies and rip open their pregnant women (2 Kings 8:12).
      β€’ King Menahem of Israel destroyed Tiphsah (also called Tappuah) and the surrounding towns, killing all residents and ripping open pregnant women with the sword (2 Kings 15:16).
      β€’ Isaiah prophesied doom for Babylon, including the murder of unborn children: “They will have no pity on the fruit of the womb” (Isaiah 13:18).
      β€’ For worshiping idols, God declared that not one of his people would live, not a man, woman or child (not even babies in arms), again confuting assertions about the sanctity of life (Jeremiah 44:7-8).
      β€’ God will punish the Israelites by destroying their unborn children, who will die at birth, or perish in the womb, or never even be conceived (Hosea 9:10-16).
      β€’ For rebelling against God, Samaria’s people will be killed, their babies will be dashed to death against the ground, and their pregnant women will be ripped open with a sword (Hosea 13:16).
      β€’ Jesus did not express any special concern for unborn children during the anticipated end times: “Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing” (Matthew 24:19).

  1. If Trump loves the confederate flag so much, his casket should be draped with the confederate flag instead of the American flag when he passes away. He is a traitor after all, so it’s only fitting that his casket be covered with the same flag flown by traitors.

    1. Learn how to make a maga-slugs brain look like a pea in two easy steps:

      1: Inflate it to twice its natural size.
      2: Paint it green πŸ‘½

    1. @Iceborn “we were all required to take civics classes in American schools”. Did you go to American schools? Then was it directed at you? Stop looking to fight because you can’t read…

    2. @Some Person oh it was your sarcastic tone you started with in your first comment that triggered me. It takes 2 to tango. If you don’t want answers don’t say anything. No I did not go to american schools, but you thought that so I simply said I was Swedish. It could have stopped right there, but you had to continue your sarcastic tone. And then you misunderstand by purpose so you can continue to fight. Little innocent american πŸ₯±

    1. Actually in reality Democracts support Defunding the police. *FACT
      tinyurl.com/y8fr4x82 🎢

    2. William H Democrats support improvement in our police departments that have been established to protect and serve. There are actually Republicans who believe that communities could be better served if there were increased $s for social services, school funding, mental healthcare, homelessness and less police out picking up young black kids for petty crimes and small amounts of THC. Come on why don’t you make a difference today and volunteer at a boys and girls club or maybe homeless shelter.

    1. Stephen has it right. Unless tRump declares martial law in order to stop the election. Maybe that would wake some of his supporters up to his REAL plan for America as a fascist state with a life-time ruler.

    2. Have you been paying attention for the last 3 1/2 years? I’ll spoil the surprise. No. No, they dont.

  2. I just wish Trump would protect our troops in Afghanistan the same way he protects Putin, his taxes, and statues of pro-slavery traitors.

    1. @john emeigh
      btw, erecting those statues in the first place were an effort to, “rewrite the history”.
      Grow a spine, face up to and acknowledge your disgusting racist history. Not to do so is a mental illness.

    2. @Jim Battersbee I don’t see it that way. I see half of the people willfully believing a globalist MSM because they lost an election 4 years ago. The giant power-grab was interrupted. I look forward to what is good for the average 27-year-old guy with two kids. Any race.

    3. @john emeigh
      And what’s “good for them” is not to be found in a dirty, racist, corrupt, dishonest USA under any of your current political representatives.
      Tik tok,…time is relentless and so is the decline of the USA, every day just a little bit worse than the day before, more inequality, more division, more incompetence, more failure.

    1. @Grim Reefer Is that why you always reply to me? πŸ€ͺ Your credibility has been zilch ever since you publicly admitted to being HOMOSEXUAL obviously.
      tinyurl.com/y8fr4x82 πŸ‘ˆπŸ˜€

    2. After that doesn’t happen, maybe the Dems can write a bill that the majorities, know is good. They put stuff like that crap in there, knowing that he won’t sign it. Dems are just goofing around… again.

    3. @Grim Reefer any time you call out the trolls they attack you to get you to reply. I’ve learned the hard not to reply no matter what crap they say about you.

    4. I wonder if Trump isn’t deliberately debasing the Republicans in the House and in the Senate. He knows he’s going to lose. He’s like Nero now, fiddling while Rome burns. He doesn’t give a crap about anything. I think on some level he enjoys watching the Republican members too scared to cross him, even while it costs them dearly at home and puts their jobs at risk. I think that’s part of his sickness. The Republican members are in his vice grip, damned if they do – damned if they don’t. They can’t break out and be independent and Trump just gets crazier and crazier. I think he loves it.

    5. @Edith Min You are Yuri Geller; you can read peoples’ minds. That is extraordinary! Congrats.

  3. So Congress needs to get their act together, in the interest of the NATION, and pass veto-proof Bills. It’s not rocket science. If these are bi-partisan approved, then take the power the Constitution has given you, especially regarding the Power of the Purse. Trump can whine and threaten all he likes, and it won’t make a shred of difference.

    1. I cant wait to see his supporters file on to mountains, bridges, and however high up they could go and take that jump together holding hands and just let go!

    2. Crazy Life… unfortunately, I don’t think he’ll go quietly.
      He’ll declare the election null and void (mail in voter fraud) and impose martial law (see Portland).
      I hope, on behalf of the rest of the world, your systems are strong enough to repel his narcissistic, illegal and corruptive impulses.
      A view from afar

    3. I swear if he wins I’m arming myself to the T! First stop: the Electoral College, unless it’s not a brick building, then I will wait for the Trumpocalypse πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ€£ (and I know they aren’t in a brick building already).

  4. What does
    The president of the United States know about military

    He dodged the military five times

    Why doesn’t he protect the military of the United States in Afghanistan?
    Instead he pays Putin , to put head bounties on our own military in Afghanistan

    1. To be fair you’ve been floundering around in Afghanistan for 19 years and lying about the results. It’s not just Trump that’s a failure here.

  5. The US is going through it’s biggest crisis in decades. But Trump has spent more of his time playing golf and defending the legacy of slave traders, than he has actually dealing with the pandemic!

    1. if you go to a bar and dont follow cdc guidelines and get the virus, give it to family and freinds – HOW IS THAT TRUMPS FAULT??????

    2. @MR DEW Trump could have increased testing during the lockdown, and brought in contact tracers like many other countries that are almost fully reopen but he didn’t. Trump could have tested and isolated the infected of the 100k who came back from abroad after the “travel ban” but he didn’t. Trump failed our nation, and you have nothing logical to counter my two points above…😘

    3. @MR DEW Cos Trump is the one who threatened to remove funding from states if they didn’t reopen before they even met CDC guidelines!

      People are stupid but they shouldn’t have the option to be stupid

    1. Fort Patton, Pershing, Eisenhower, Bradley.

      There are a lot of excellent Generals we can name bases after.

    2. Honestly, I don’t think those who fought for the Confederacy were not traitors. Those who refuse to accept the North and freeing of slaves as the outcome of the war and continue to push white supremacy are the traitors.

    3. @μ•ˆ 두선 Confederates killed union soldiers over slavery, and succeeded from the union over slavery. Those qualify as traitorous acts…

    4. @Some PersonYou are right. I was just thinking in terms of the fighting was resolved regardless of who thought they were right and slavery was thankfully ended. It’s one thing to remember your Confederate brother who you had to bury because of the war, it’s another thing to cleave to the remnants of the war that are offensive to people and hurtful to an entire race especially when the person who is doing it is the grandson of a Nazi.

    1. New York con man pretending to care about the confederate flag to pander to his base of racist supporters… it’s that simple!

  6. After trump loses in November there will be about two months when he could do some irreparable harm to America. He needs to be watched and countermeasures developed to get us through that transition period.

    1. I suspect America is laying the groundwork now, to remove him on the grounds of mental illness. That’s why the recent cognitive test, and the humiliating interview (for him) with Chris Wallace on Fox.

    2. @Jim Battersbee I agree with @timber_beast, too. The time between Nov 3rd and Jan 20th is going to be the most seriously precarious time I think our country has ever had to face. Trump has already shown he has a taste for the ‘scorched earth’ approach. It wouldn’t surprise me if he went out of his way to ‘burn it all down’ in any way he can get away with. And he’s got plenty of psycho, rabid fans at his beck and call. People are going to get hurt or killed.
      Tho I was loving the Wallace interview. Savage! It’s as if Trump truly believes that sitting there, acting like a truculent child and bossing his staff around makes him look tough or strong or manly or something, it’s astonishing how utterly clueless he is in this moment. The presidency is NOT the Appretice, but he’ll never realize that. ‘Ratings’? Seriously??? What world leader even thinks of such inane things?

    3. Thankfully he can’t pass laws without the House under GOP control, sadly Biden has a lot of erasing to do in 2021…

  7. Bounties on our troops is OK, but removing traitorous icons is forbidden. I can’t wait to vote for Joe.

    1. bounties on troops case, the intel community said that report could not be vertified but fake media tells it like it has been proven which is false

    2. @MR DEW Do you realize that it was never 100% verified where Osama Bin Laden was hiding or that he was at that location at the particular time of the raid in which he was taken down? Very little intelligence gets 100% verified. It was a risk to go after Bin Laden, but Obama did it and it worked. If the President was only advised about 100% verifiable info, we would be in very bad shape. The President is advised about possible and emergent threats, threats that are being actively investigated. ….If the President cares about America and wants to listen. This one doesn’t. It was credible enough to tell our Allies about it. Trump doesn’t really count as an ally of the United States though so that makes sense. He doesn’t give a crap about this country, only about himself. The people who brief him have to include his own name over and over again in the telling so he’ll stay interested in what they’re saying.

    1. @mateowey he is bringing up former President Barack Obama; this dude is a Complete imbecile…. President Obama puts Trump to shame in every way….. John, you’re a pathetic loser bigoted racist…..
