    1. Ahigh tired depi igloo yrabhib moco flapsich wedhbi. That was me typing after Trump lost the 3rd time. I’m already suffering the DTs. I’ll be a lightweight and drink the nonacoholic stuff. 👍

  1. The way I see it…..trump is making it easier and easier for Biden to assign a presidential crimes commission to look into “all” of the corruption in the WH!! Hope he does!!

    1. Sooo true!!! One would think if your potentially facing future criminal charges you may want to lay low! One would think….🤡🤦‍♀️

    2. @Linda Harrell intelligent? Competent? Experienced? Lmao I don’t think you clowns know what those words mean. Sit down and shut up.

    3. Biden AG must investigate Trump Crime Family🤑, Barr, Miller, Giuliani🤑, and other Trump cronies and that must be done to cleanse the government of the Trump criminal stain. 🤔😂🙄😉😅

    4. Any crime and abuse of power that Trump has done which he does not eventually get held responsible for will become a precedent for future Presidents to do.

    1. @Ķirsten White what ever illegal conduct that his business organization involved while he was a NY resident , remember his personal lawyer Michel Cohen

    2. @Ķirsten White sure they can, If you rob a bank in NY, then move to Florida, you can still be charged, it’s pretty much the same. The good thing is, SDNY is after him for state crimes, not federal ones, so no pardon!!!

    3. @Richard Whipple But neither NY or Florida can collar him if he skips out to a non extradition country.

      Not that this will stop banks scalping him if he doesn’t pay back what he owes – and any property in the US would be subject to seizure and sale should that happen.

    4. @Ķirsten White yes they can. The crimes were committed in NY. Moving to another state doesn’t disolve his crimes.
      Also, trump can’t use Mara largo as a residence. Its a business and he’d have to give up membership fees and any other services he charges for.

    1. I disagree, he doesn’t care about the Georgia election. This is a personal attempt to use the government to get back at his rivals. Because of the way he is behaving, I now think any crimes that he is guilty of should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If the shoe were on the other foot he would do the same to his rival.

    2. “Put Biden in a bad light”? Biden is literally on video touching kids inappropriately. At this point, there is nothing that Biden can do that would paint him in a bad light in the left’s eyes. They literally hate straight white males more than they hate child abusers. Let that sink in.

    3. As a Georgian it won’t matter… we are on to Trump’s tricks. His supporters supports his lies. 💙 is still going to prevail!

  2. Amy Barett and Kavanagh to Trump : Sorry we can’t do anything for you, anyway thanks for the SC Seat. Don’t call us.

    1. Amy Barrett and Kavanagh to Trump: “This is what wisdom and courage look like. Kinda backfired on ya, didn’t it?”

    2. Trump: You ingrates!!! I will sue you for this!!! Oh not possible? Well I will gonna tweetstorm you for this and my MAGA followers will call you liberals!!!

  3. “This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies — practically every word that comes out of his mouth.” -Ted Cruz

    1. @Bill Eichert Got over it…. I don’t recall that happening. I did notice a lot fewer riots when the AP declared for Biden though. Is that when you “got over it”?

    2. AND WHAT’S SAD HE DON’T KNOW HE’S GONNA HAVE TO HASTEN TO GOD’S THRONE. EVERY THING WITH A NAME SHALL KNEE AND CONFESS…..THAT GOD IS GOD ALONE.

    3. Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) were joined by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) in blocking the motion, a move that effectively denied acknowledging that Biden is the President-elect.

      Democrats are beside themselves after a Senate resolution to recognize Joe Biden as the real president-elect failed to pass. The Inaugural Committee voted down a resolution by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) on Tuesday naming Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden president-elect, with all three Republican members voting against it.

    4. @John Doe Am not worried about President Biden not being sworn in on Jan 20th. Trump is trying to get rich off of the people that think he can stay. They are donating millions of dollars. But God

    1. When Biden is sworn in, sdny will obtain Trump’s taxes. Then, soon after, he will be criminally prosecuted.

  4. The three Justices that Trump appointed:
    We’re Sorry, You Have Reached a Number That Has Been Disconnected or Is No Longer in Service

    1. Trump really believed that the 3 justices he appointed will behave like nimcompoops beholden to him. He was so arrogant and shameless he even openly tweeted about it.

    1. Yes and will most likely have to pardon his own for wrongdoing. Let him keep digging this hole. He will surely fall into the hole he digs for someone else. Trumps angry is misdirected,
      He is angry at Joe Biden for winning, and not the people that voted for Biden because he (Trump) was making a mockery of the Presidency. The people Trump hated the most unseated him, I simply cannot stop laughing!

    2. Right???… Except for his own Shameless Spawn… Who are All under Several Investigations, Including Intent to Defraud the US Government… Like Father like Children… As T-RUMP has DEFRAUDED this Country and The Hard Working People of it For Decades… As Testified To by his Ex-Fixer Lawyer… Michael Cohen!!!😒…

      Proof Positive… He’s Consistently Spinning, Deflecting, and Projecting Onto Others… The Exact Things Him and His Corrupt Crooked Criminally Conniving Clan of Cultist Conservative REPUG-BLICANS and Cohorts are Guilty of Themselves!!!😜😝😣😡😈😒….

      And How in the Good Lords name… His Supporters and Enable Can’t, (Or Pretend Not To) Clearly See This … Is Not Only Mind Boggling and Mind Blowing… It’s MADDENING!!!???😜😝😣😡😈😒…. I’m Sooo Glad that this Completely Corrupt, Crooked, Criminally Conniving, CULTIST Crazy, Chaotic Clown Show is on its way Out of the now “Fright House”… And Our New Honorable President can Truly Unite Our Country once Again… And reclaim Our “White House” back to its former Glory!!!… In Jesus Name I Pray… AMEN!!!😄😃😍🤗😙😉💙🇺🇸🌊

    3. Bitcoin’s price action after the election season has been incredibly positive , with bulls taking full control of its trend as they attempt to push it above its 2019 highs.heading into the presidential elections significant turbulence within the stock market should cause some weakness.getting data like this early is the reason I trad with Bitmine Lite Trade; a portfolio management company that has helped me sharply extended my wallet from 4btcto 13btc in 2weeks . why stress over the changin cost of cryptocurrency when you can get trad sign_als from a reliable company like Bitmine Lite Trade. You can reach him on Tal.e.g.ram ( @ Danielwrightfx ) what_sa_pp + 1 (786) 52 72947 iu

  5. i think the lottery is rigged i didn’t win tonight’s lotto drawing. I’m going to sue all the way to the SCOTUS

    1. Yep I had the right powerball numbers, and then all of a sudden all these different numbers started coming in. Somebody rigged the powerball machine, so I’m suing and taking my case to SCOTUS.

    2. @D MP Trump definitely is vindictive, he’s demonstrated that over 4 years. But this is more about the money. The Trump Organization made millions off the 2016 campaign fund, it made even more off of Trump’s 500 plus visits to his personal properties over 4 years; plus he started his 2020 fundraising on day one, so multi millions more to the Trump Organization that way; now the fake legal fund with multi millions going to him personally, plus he’s talking about a 2024 campaign for the same reason. The Grifter in Chief just doesn’t want to give up the biggest money making venture in his entire career.

  6. If this wasn’t a coup attempt orchestrated out of the “Apple Dumpling Gang” playbook of coups, I don’t know what is!

    1. @Doris Hofmann biden’s are crooks….and sold American out to china….DOJ AS got hunter next will be china joe…………

    2. @IRONS Fake news. Trump lost fair and square. Over 81 Million Americans from all walks of life (progressive, liberal, moderate, libertarian and conservative) all came together to vote Trump and 3 ring circus out of the White House.

    3. @The Orange Pekoe Teabag Band lol, well, Trump did talk repeatedly about ‘secret Trump voters’ so…..

      lol, well, Homeland security says this is the most secure election in American history. They’ve spent the last 4 years, since the Russian interference of 2016, tightening the systems all around the country. So I believe them.

    4. @IRONS Fake news. Just another diversion from Trump’s secret Chinese bank account, not to mention Ivanka buying at least 4 patents from China for voting machines. True story.

    5. @Sean Morgan fake news……….. go check it out on YouTube hunter is singing… china = bidens are in bed together which sold out American for money..

  7. Why are they investigating hunter Biden and wat about trump? He has broken all laws and they has done nothing

    1. It’s just Trump’s revenge for him being investigated by Mueller. it doesn’t matter. Even if Hunter did something shady with his taxes/income, it’s not like he’s the only rich person to take advantage of some ‘connections’.
