  1. It has always been predictable that Trump would protest the results and would incite civil unrest. What perhaps wasn’t as predictable is just how many Republicans would back him and say similar things. And what it shows us is that Putin’s reach goes far beyond Trump. Because the reason for such acts is that Putin, or some other entity is blackmailing a number of Republicans.

    1. It has more to do with Trvmp’s close relationship with the National Enquirer. A number of GOP senators and several GOP congressmen too. Think Jimnasiums

    2. As We saw the amount of Nuts that voted Trump in 2016, it is very Clear of the Mental Illness within the American People, within the Republicans..

    3. No, it’s not blackmail. An empty mind is easy to fill. Trump knows that, he filled his with vision’s of grandiose and then filled theirs to back that. Simple manipulation.

    1. Donald tRump is a weak man’s lame idea of a masculine strongman. Does that make any sense? I just ate some marijuana gummy bears & they are beginning to kick in & i’m afraid my typing is becoming word salad. Still buzzed outta my gourd I stand by my statement even more adamentally. Feel free to drop me a line & comment about my original commentary but I must warn do not ire &try to bring me down.

    2. Almost, but not quite. Patience, my friend. We’re almost there. Biden should go ahead and begin planning the transition. He’ll be officially president elect very soon In a few months, Trump won’t be pushing himself into our collective face every waking hour of every day. That’s going to be such a relief. It will be like the country has passed a kidney stone.

  2. Trumps concession speech will be watched by billions of celebrating people from all over the world! It’s gonna be sweet! Call it now!

    1. @rhonda drop no one. The a hole won’t admit defeat. He is a narcissistic sociopath. HE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN HIS WORLD
      Kim

    2. I don’t think he will. He’s to big of a baby. Actually I think he dresses up in his diaper and binky for mommy melania to pamper him. 😳🤮

    3. Bet me money that Dumplican won’t give a concession speech. Biden will be taking the White House by force.

  3. Trump moves into burn it down phase. He knows his reelections prospects are fading, and he’ll try anything to keep power.

    1. I HEREBY DECLARE THAT TRUMP WILL BE THE PRESIDENT……………OF THE ATTICA CORRECTIONAL PRISON RODEO CLUB!

    2. Trump is crazy and has clearly snapped. The kind of slander dripping from his lips these days certainly seems like it might invite lawsuits, if he weren’t so nuts.

  4. After four years there are still people expressing wonder why nobody could hold Trump back pfff so tiresome 😕 The man told us exactly what he is ages ago!

    1. @rukdropov

      Please explaon what an illegal vote is?

      Because up to now not a single vote has been proven illegal in any state.
      BTW every state has different laws for voting and the only rules for voting that are the same are those in thev23thrd amendment

    2. @rukdropov yeah right. And if you thought counting all votes would benefit trump you’d be saying that. Hypocrite!

    3. TRAITOR TRUMP OR SHOULD I SAY HIS REAL NAME DRUMPF HAS BEEN UNDERMINING THE VERY DEMOCRACY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY ACCEPTING PUTIN AS HIS ALLY. THE TRAITOR IN OFFICE IS UNAMERICAN.

    1. Can’t find any news that he’s resigned yet. He has been walking around with a letter of resignation in his pocket, because of trump’s attacks on him over the last few months. He’s not the only one either!

  5. This is the Voting the traitors engineered by not controlling the pandemic, by interfering with the post office and continually lying to the American people and bring baseless court cases. They are all beneath contempt and shall be treated as such.

    1. We must make an example of these Traitors and outlaw Lobbiest and Corporate Bribes and Donations to our Gov. Branch , Elects on every level of gov. Stop this loosy goosey charade we have had since Regan allowed Corporate Influinces enter our system of Law Makers.
      We also must make our Corporations come back to the US and create good jobs , or if they choose to stay in other countries they will pay more taxes and penalties. They cannot have it both ways, so either way America can bennifit as well as they bennifit.
      Yeah they are not going to like it but they have had their way for 40 yrs and have Bennifited in everyway and America has not Bennifited in anyway except the Senator or Congressmen that got paid off and these Elected Sell Outs have profited and pay very little taxes either. We need a change in this corrupt system.🇺🇸💙

    2. @Elle H I believe we were living FREE!
      NOT LOCKED DOWN
      NO MASKS
      TELLING YOU WHAT TO DRIVE
      WHAT TO EAT
      DEMOCRATS ARE THE COMMUNIST!!!
      TROT YOUR OWN AZZ TO RUSSIA YOU DEMS. DONT MIND BUYING RUSSIA INFORMATION LIKE HILDABEAST DID!
      HOW WARPED OF A MIND SAYS LOW UNEMPLOYMENT,
      NO WARS BRINGING TROOPS HOME
      LOWER TAXES IS BAD ARE YOU SERIOUS?
      IF SO , SOW YOUR BS ELESWHERE!

    3. Donald tRump is a weak man’s lame brain idea of a masculine strongman. Just look at & listen to The Doofus to put it nicely without using any swear words to describe.

    4. I HEREBY DECLARE THAT TRUMP WILL BE THE PRESIDENT……………OF THE ATTICA CORRECTIONAL PRISON RODEO CLUB!

    1. No, their mission is done. They helped elect him, knowing he’d wreak havoc on the country. He’s no longer needed so he’s been abandoned. They still succeeded with the Senate.

    2. The Russians want to disable the U.S. anyway they can. They’re very active now, spreading the fraud fantasy. Not to help Trump win, but to foment instability and trigger the Trump’s faithful worshippers.

    1. @Iamlove Iampeace keep stroking those Rosary beads of yours, it doesn’t seem very likely your orange messiah is coming through for you silly misguided folks. I would suggest putting down the Bible, take off the tinfoil hat and get a job.

    2. I HEREBY DECLARE THAT TRUMP WILL BE THE PRESIDENT……………OF THE ATTICA CORRECTIONAL PRISON RODEO CLUB!

  6. The Biden campaign need to put their eye on Georgia Secretary of State he’s calling for a recount and haven’t counted all the votes especially the military

    1. From what I heard about Georgia is that no recount will take place UNTIL all votes, including military votes are counted. You can’t have a recount until the first full recount has finished.

  7. Esper doesn’t want his legacy to be a “yes man” as he is often referred to as Yesper.

  8. Yes we trust our government leaders some what but when you see all the things trump has gotten away with , it breaks ones mind! 💙🇺🇸🦅

  9. “… Winner embraces Victory … Loser accepts Defeat … and we Move On.” Well spoken … 🙏🏻😌💙☀️🌎😷

  10. Remember Marine Corp General Kelly’s warning. He said that not only is trump dishonest but trump is the most FLAWED human being General Kelly has EVER known. General Kelly was Trump’s Chief of Staff.
