  1. Trump trolls our right now. They keep blocking the comments section on faux news! They have nowhere else to go. Fox News doesn’t want mindless creatures.

    1. We must be making a difference in their viewers. I run numbers when I get the chance. I can’t believe all the numbers my brain holds lol

    2. Fox news only speaks to mindless, amoral, bigoted people. Those of us who can think, don’t waste our time getting news from Fox News. We listen for opposition research.

  2. This country has been in a constant state of chaos & crisis since the Orange Floater took the throne.

    Please vote to Flush the Orange Floater & put an end to the dystopian nightmare that is Trumpism.

  3. That’s our President — President Barack Obama! I just watched his whole speech for a drive-in rally earlier. How refreshing and intellectually delivered.

    1. @ROD ROSI Several hundred were not allowed in due to not having enough room. The interstate was backed up for miles for trying to get in to hear our (former) President Obama!!!!

    2. @Michael Riley that is where the problem lies (pun intended), you are so invested in a spouse, you will be willing to be lied to and still stay invested. 37% who approve of the way trump handled the pandemic are just like that. those of us who are sane and intelligent would not be able nor need to understand why

    3. @David Carmichael republican governors sucked up to trump and did what trump asked them to! there is no free will!

  4. Thanks PRESIDENT OBAMA. I hope that everyone listens and VOTES FOR BIDEN-HARRIS. WE NEED TO GET OUR COUNTRY, REPUTATION AND ALLIES BACK. DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE POLLS. VOTE. Stay safe and stay well. Thanks.

    1. I already did. I was not truly sure who to vote for at first until I heard President Obama speak about why we need to vote for Biden. I trusted President Obama to do the right thing while he was president, and I trust him now to tell us what to do to make America great again!!!!

    1. @Andy B ✌ lol.
      My first road tractor that I drove when I was ten.
      Was a 1973 A model KW.
      The same year I was operating a pan unloading across a dam.
      Then when I was old enough I got my chauffeur’s license.
      So I started driving and operating both.

    2. @D11Dozer I drove a Freightliner FLB not unlike the one in my pic for longer than I’d like to admit, lol.. It ain’t glorious, but it’s good work if you can get it. Cheers mate

  5. Wait what, she had to be convinced by her son to vote for the first black president? Wow the youth are the future afterall

  6. Trump paid more taxes to China than he does to the United States! Like always, Trump accuses his foes of the very things he does himself!

  7. A president that touch the heart of people of any status. This is the kind of President we want. Humility is part of leadership.

    1. @Michael Kelly Well…One thing for certain humility doesn’t include saying you’re smarter than the military generals, or saying that you have the best memory, etc…

  8. I’m impressed that he didn’t include anything about trump in his pitch. We know the contrast between trump and Biden. Obama spanks trump just by being so much more profound than he is. Intelligence, empathy, honor, compassion.

    1. And that is why. Humility, integrity and intellegence. He doesn’t need to attack ttump*. But still early. Be safe, take care and make your vote count.✌

  9. “Listen, can you imagine if I had had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for reelection?” Obama asked. “You think Fox ‘News’ might have been a little concerned about that?”

    1. Yes, he was. Most people does not know how influential Joe Biden was in Obama’s presidency!!!! Biden will make a GREAT president, and Kamala Harris is a great backup!!!! This democrat ticket is the best!!!!!!

  10. _NOTE! This is an old style broadside not a “Tweet”. As this is not Twitter. If it’s too much for you to handle, move on. But If you are deeply appalled by what’s happening in this Country, read on._

    *VOTE! BECAUSE WE STILL CAN!*
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    _A Broadside_

    *WE HONOR AND CHERISH* the memory, the courage, and the spirit of those Americans who suffered and fought and died whether willingly or unwillingly in the name of our Nation: on the battlefields, on the cotton fields, on the Great Plains and the River Valleys, and those Americans who are today being assaulted, beaten, shot and murdered by unrepentant and undeniably racist police forces befitting a fascist regime, and those Americans who daily fill our hospitals fighting a novel virus, contagious and deadly. But if we wish to make this claim of honor true, first we must honor Truth itself; for, Truth is the only thing that cannot be overcome. *AND TRUTH IS NOW TELLING US WHAT MUST BE DONE!*

    *REGRETFULLY, IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE AND SOUND REFLECTION upon:*

    👉 *His* fluency of falsehoods,
    👉 *His* fear of criticism and responsibility,
    👉 *His* insistence on taking credit where credit is not due,
    👉 *His* deficit of emotion-regulation resulting in juvenile displays, personal attacks and insults unbecoming an adult,
    👉 *His* incumbency and his bid for reelection being void of any plan, agenda, mandate, message, or ideas,
    👉 *His* open threat to decline a peaceful transfer of power should he lose his bid for reelection,
    👉 *His* inability to maintain discretion on social media _and_
    👉 *His* increasingly odious and unstatesmanlike behavior that indicates a pathologically unstable personality such that:
    *President Donald Trump has indisputably forfeited the trust and the confidence of those government confrères in his charge that procure sensitive and secret knowledge of matters affecting national security they cannot in good confidence share with him — their President and Commander-in-Chief!*

    *THIS SITUATION* is unworkable, and gives rise to threats both domestic and foreign to the United States. *WE CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF BEING AFRAID!* Our moment, described as an “Inflection Point”, has come calling and in this election year of 2020, we have something to do — Let this be _OUR_ remedy!

    *OUR NATION* imperfect, ever learning and self-correcting, possesses the keys to enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Nevertheless there come, from time to time, challenges to this ideal that require remediation. In these times we shall insist that our citizenship be recognized and counted, uncontested!

    *AMERICA WILL NOT BE DISGRACED ANY LONGER!*

    *The case against the President is prima facie inasmuch as:*

    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been derelict in his duties,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has undermined The Constitution of the United States,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has committed acts of human cruelty at our Nation’s southern border – potentially to include crimes against humanity,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been impeached,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been found and confirmed as having lied to the American people about the true nature of the seriousness of COVID-19,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has not achieved any tangible act toward the betterment of the Nation,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has withheld information he is required by law to produce,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has verbally insulted our Servicemen and Servicewomen in our Nation’s military – calling them “suckers”,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been curiously evasive amid investigations persuant to the nature of his relationship with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has openly encouraged extreme street violence at the level of complicity,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has perverted the utility of America’s federal defense and peace-keeping forces by turning them against America herself!

    _This list of offenses, while not exhaustive, provides more than enough cause to pursue criminal charges!_

    *ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CLEAR, IS OBVIOUS, AND IS TRUE! AS WELL, IT IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE BY ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, BY THE FBI, BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, et al; AND BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION!*

    *FOR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED! ON THE CONTRARY, HE IS A MENACE TO THE PEACE!*

    *THEREFORE:*
    *IN ORDER TO RENDER THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN TERRIBLE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE*

    *WE SHALL* lawfully heed any required safety measures due to COVID-19 without protest or complaint to include wearing face coverings, gloves, and practicing social distancing.

    *AND IN RETURN*
    *WE SHALL NOT* tolerate any barriers, threats, obstructions, hindrances or intrigues of any kind by any party whether from inside the United States or abroad by design or effect that suppresses, deters, delays, denies, manipulates, interrupts, or otherwise alters *OUR CIVIL RIGHT AND OUR CIVIC DUTY TO CAST OUR VOTE, INVIOLATE, AS IT IS GUARANTEED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND — ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY — TO REMOVE AND REPLACE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, AND TO RESTORE THE PEACE!*

    _Brad_

    1. @Jolene Plourde It is impossible to believe all the crap the whole world has had to deal with.
