  1. What’s been learned is to not elect a president who would rather play golf than work to save lives.

    1. Where you been? you forgot when obomit and Michael were on luxury vacations all the time? and never donate none of his salary checks for a good cause, you are all hypocrites!!

    2. @Alfredo Fettuccine Last time I checked Obama isn’t the president anymore. Not sure why you care if he plays golf.

    3. @Firefly And not just tht but wht about his first yr AMERI APOLOGY TR HE CHOSE TO G ON AND AT THT TIME HE CLD HAV STAYD HERE AND DONE LOTS O GD FOR TH USA AS HE SHLD HAV HAD N PROBS PUSHIN THRU ANYTHNG THT WAS FAIR AND ALSO NEEDED LIK EXAMP TH INFASTRCTUR AND A FEW OTHR WEL CHOSN ISSU,S TOO.

    4. @Joseph McCracken
      Only a few more months of this disaster. Then America will take care of the root cause for this orange disease and disaster, THE DEPLORABLES, once and for all. SOON!!!

  2. Imagine how the doctors and nurses will never be the same after seeing so much death..

    1. @Charles Anthony okay, so now you pivoted from just alcohol and calling me a child to other things like [insert imagination here]. Hard to keep track of your original argument since we’re going off the rails now (and while SOBER might I add).

      TOOT TOOOOOOOT!!!!

    2. @poopsock : I’m going to argue with a guy, who has your username. Also, Zoomers are in their early twenties, but whatever you say, I guess everyone is a kid unless proven otherwise. Look at your comment. You definitely act like a child.

    3. ​@Charles Anthony you are going to argue with me? Cool! I am a poopsock! Hear me ROAR!
      Not sure what the zoomer thing means. I may be too old to understand these hip new post-millennial words since I’m suffering through my 30s. Now that we’re being all open about personal attacks instead of focusing on the substance of a conversation, I just lost all fscks in this conversation so I give it a 9/11 because it’s suspicious and requires further investigation. Hey, does this SpaceX rocket look right or should we pivot some more?

      DD;;;;;;;;;;;;;;D~~~~~BOOM~~~ER~~~

    4. @ღSwnsasyღ _ You do realize loved ones die for various reasons every day right? You should buck up honey, when you get older you will have to deal with the death of family and friends. Did someone never explain death to you? Do you still think your favorite pet went to live on a farm? Grow up!!! It doesn’t get easier.

    5. Bemused One- What exactly are you referring to? *DEATH* is *DEATH.* No matter how you, or someone dies. Gore, or not. There’s no such thing as a “beautiful” death, or corpse.

    1. @Pythagoras 1234 I did look it up and no country reportet a CFR of 0.1%, even Germany with one of the best responses in the world reportet 0.15% and most countrys are significantly higher.
      Also tRump-16 controls the CDC enough to dumb down their recommendation from “You HAVE to do this” to his beloved “Do whatever you want” – which never happened before, but suddenly during a pandemic? Yeah sure. Honestly, anything Donnie touches looses credibility.

    2. Um, total recoverys are 490,000, and there hasn’t been a spike yet, we just reached 100k deaths after ALL this time

  3. We’ve learned that electing your narcissistic, racist grandpa with an itchy Twitter finger is a godawful idea 🙄

    1. @Great Awakening< I am!!! TRUMP 2020!!! NO Socialism! I experienced the nightmare of Marxists during the first 35 years of my life. It's sad to see there are Marxists in America!!!

    2. Trump did not cause this pandemic nor the deaths attributed to this virus. I learned I need to take care of myself and be responsible for my actions. If we make this a political issue we will not move forward because there is always the opportunity to point the finger at the other side. Trump has done a good job considering all points. I will be voting for him not because I agree with everything he does or says, but because he gets things done. I don’t trust Biden and I don’t think he can do a better job.

    1. Dorian Lollobrigida Governer of New York did a good job ??? Hahahahahahahahahahaha yea and I got a bridge to sell you in Missouri

    2. Our “leaders” have learned they can continually lie to a certain group in our country and still be accepted – they just keep seeing how awful they can go.
      Fortunately, this Administration will be gone soon – a case for the History books on when America lost it’s way.
      Voting for positive change in the USA . . . Voting BLUE across the board in 2020.

    3. @Kevin Willis your wrong bud. When your deal with politicians period who hardly ever get the whole truth in general. The difference is that the media is working with the Democrats to lie and manipulate the “one group”. Impeachment failed, Meuller failed, when the carona first started appearing the Democrats and fake news barely covered it (FOX covered it more lolol) but as soon as the got a hold of it they weaponized nthe narritive to make the president look bad. Trump did not take it seriously until WHO declared it a pandemic, and that is how it should have been but look were that got us….

    1. @Real M , much rather be a proud free thinking deplorable then a brainwashed liberal left wing NUT.

  4. It may be true that you can’t fool people all the time but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country ..ps please wake up 🇺🇸 USA

    1. You can’t fool people all the time, but you can fool enough to defend the absurd policies of the left if you are good at disinformation.

    2. Kelvin Ho Yes because if Hillary won we wouldn’t be able to launch Corona which means no war with United States.

    3. Those who voted for Donald (or those that didn’t vote at all) are now voicing their disgust with him and the Administration supporting him – more and more will be voting BLUE in 2020. 🙂

    1. @giftofgab247
      As soon as we put this orange con man in jail, America will take care of his Deplorable base, the Deplorable descendants of the Confederacy. This time, show NO mercy, as we wrongly showed their Deplorable ancestors. SOON!!!

    1. Abigale where do you live? state of nevada has 5% mortality rate, new york has 8% mortality rat / the common flu has 1% mortality rate / wear a mask

  5. Just look at History. The Titanic was unsinkable right. Maybe there are too many ahhhhs and not enough intelligent people?

    1. @Firefly I was sick in February for a month and a half. Went to ER. And they told me it was bronchitis and did nothing. Then went to my Doctor and he gave me some Cough Syrup and Antibiotic and then stayed in for some. But I felt like I had the virus.

    2. @Melvin Mack Well good thing, you must be strong on the inside. Glad it wasnt the covid virus. I have friends that were sick as a dog last summer and they swear that it felt like it. They are all fine now. Ya never know. At least you went in to be sure. Most people survive this covid thing but apparently it can take the older and the weakened people out. The negative news has people freaked out… but the news has always been negative. Ever since Walter Cronkite stopped reporting the news.

  6. Dear God, forgive us for embrassing and celebrating sin. Have mercy on us and heal our lands.

    1. gabz groove
      And at midnight, the GREAT pumpkin will rise from the pumpkin patch and give toys and candy to all the good girls and boys. I miss you Linus…..

  7. What have we learned? That our government is full of corruption and will politicize anything.

    1. Tise Ignite It was not only anonymous but we also have to remember that WikiLeaks received a great deal of information from DNC staffers and one top Democrat official who was very upset with the way the DNC handled Bernie. WikiLeaks was our hero when they exposed the Bush/Chaney Secret prisons and torture. We loved WikiLeaks then, they were our heroes. WikiLeaks has never lied, they research their documents very well before being published. We loved WikiLeaks but suddenly they began to air our dirty DNC laundry and we tried to tie WikiLeaks to the Russians. Several of our DNC staff members were fired. One was murdered in DC on his way home and it was ruled as a robbery gone bad. WikiLeaks posted a 20 K reward for the apprehension and conviction of his murderer. Many suspected this young man who is the person who leaked the DNC information to wiki leaks. So we got an inside look at how the DNC operates and it was not pretty. And now we have Joe Biden is our candidate.

    2. @Mike Clontz You forgot to add conservative media both sides lie through their teeth and you idiots lie to defend them constantly

    3. if you hadnt learned that from the past SEVERAL DECADES… you havent been paying attention.

    4. @C R China and the deep state did this to us. It’s man made. The truth will set you free. Stop watch fake News. Trump 2020

    1. The president just called to arms for armed protestors to liberate their state. Imagine when Trump loses 2020, he calls the results fake and calls on his supporters to storm the government buildings with their guns. The Demagog in Chief will become a tyrant.

    1. Jeff Dunehew to be on the news or any public scene you must take demons inside of the body. Sometimes they manifest while talking or blinking . A lot of rappers have this problem . When you murder people you get demons

    1. @powrslave73757 Explain to me what Im wrong about? That people are so ignorant and can’t see that Its killing thousands of people.

    2. Javier Jimenez The fact is if someone dies when they have covid and die of something else, it’s labeled a covid death. Get your facts straight.

    3. @Javier Jimenez And we’re heading into a second wave with seemingly everyone reopening too early.

    4. @Javier Jimenez dont believe the media. The numbers are waaaaayyy off. The virus is real but the media made it worse. the cdc even tried to do an honest count and it was under 1%.

    5. @powrslave73757 You are confused. Or just too addicted to conspiracy theories. See, when someone is shot and bleeds out, they don’t die of blood loss, do they? Technically, sure, they died because the blood had left their body, but it’s listed as murder because someone had shot them, leading to them losing their blood. It’s the same kind of thing with covid. Technically, yes, some covid patients may die of a heart attack or something like that, but covid has been shown to cause stuff like that, and so they had a heart attack probably because of covid. That’s why their deaths are listed as from coronavirus complications, not “a heart attack”. Do some real research with credible sources. If you find any actual evidence of that, by all means present it, but you probably won’t find much of any evidence, apart from the kind of thing that I just highlighted.

  8. We’ve learned a lot. Too many are doing nothing so we will have to suffer through. You’re immune system is your only hope.

    1. Well considering the death rate is the same as the flu.. i think my immune system will hold out

    2. @F-35B LIGHTNING II fighter jet. #BlueLivesMatter and what about those with compromised immune systems? Like my father who recovered from pancreatic cancer last year? what about them?

  9. What I’ve learned is that there’s two kinds of people in the world:

    1: Those who do stupid things.

    2: Those who blame everyone but #1.

    1. That doesnt make any sense. If im not doing stupid things but im surrounded by people who are, why should i blame myself? Theyre the ones doing stupid things, they deserve the blame.

  10. Me when this started: people should just stay where they are and not travel to any state.
    People: VACATION!
