    1. @Vote Third Party Do I? Wow, I learn something new about myself every day. Judging from you posting that phrase multiple times under this video, you must think it’s a real gotcha.

    2. @Vote Third Party exactly, except it was the Trump supporters that have enabled Neo Nazis to breach the Capitol building. Now that Trump has conceded his lost, I guess you have nothing better to do but to sit in front of your keyboard and defend Trump on youtube all day. Woe is the MAGA life, 🙁

    3. @Vote Third Party Except for this one that he is stoking. Its not surprising either , why have a war as a narcissist if the only person you think is worth fighting for is yourself . He’s not even doing that , he has all of you guys doing it for him

    4. You have a deranged mind equating Trump with NAZI’s ,Trump brought back good jobs that Obama said were not coming back and had the lowest unemployment figures EVER for Blacks and Hispanics. Made us energy independent for the first time. . Obama said we needed a Wall on the border Trump did it ,He ended the wars in the middle east .I could write a book on all of the great things he has done

  1. So are the police, the national guard, the military, going to DO something this time around????? On Jan 17th?

    1. The threats come from white male faces, so probably not. The police and law enforcement are lousy with white nationalists and sympathizers, so this open-faced threat will too be ignored.

    2. @cycoklr Trump has been unmasked. His own cabinet is now distancing from him. For sure if he orders military generals to go to the streets and follow his martial law, they will also ignore him and pretend the communicatin is not clear.

    3. @Jesus Zamora We may rely on Gen Milley to honor his word but we cannot discount the prospect of mutiny among the different levels of the military, and that is the big concern. The strategic plan for the war in Vietnam became difficult to execute because the channels of communication from the Pentagon to the squad level were modified as it flowed from the source. The country was very much divided then as it is now. Mike Flynn’s idea of martial law is the principal threat at the moment because there are mid-level officers who idolize him and they are still serving on active duty. 45 is also afraid of what Mike knows about him and has not blurted out yet or 45 really likes him very much. We just need to be alert for the next 11 days. Peace.

    1. He will just create his own social network along side his media network, he’s not going away , he will become more powerful after he leaves the White House , maybe he will hire blackwater

    2. Probably. The guy did seem addicted to it. Let’s see if that ban doesn’t hurt their pockets though. Like they say, get woke go broke.

    3. @Zero Cool he can always go to Parler. A lot of politicians are already on there. I don’t understand why he doesn’t have an account there. It’s essentially the same thing.

    1. @Samara Al Ahmar Indeed. And if getting rid of the crazy is good for business, then they get rid of the crazies. It’s the very same reason those crazies were allowed unfettered access for so long.

    2. @prodipe23 what you say here is so important. WE are these freak’s (and apparently freakesses) enemy. This has been cultivated for decades now, but nobody wanted to believe that one American could have such a low opinion of his or her fellow citizen. But then, this internet thing…..

    3. Funny how liberals once demanded freedom of speech but now that they are in control they ban it ,what hypocrites.

    1. @Adrian C Eh I think dealing with the gas-lighted MAGA population will be a more pressing matter than the orange chump worming his way back onto social media…

    2. I literally just watched Disney’s Robin Hood and the parallels between the king and this president are astounding

    3. @Adrian C even if it’s lifted, trump will be on thin ice, and one BS post will get him banned again. I think this relationship is over

    1. Ohhh… so ur a immature leftist who is all for censorship….
      How incredibly proud China would be of you…

    2. Funny how liberals once demanded freedom of speech but now that they are in control they ban it , what HYPOCRITES.

  2. Are the National Guard coming for real this time?Actually the 17th and the 20th they are needed.

    1. This is like a violent criminal who, after resisting arrest, shoots at the cops, runs and is tackled and handcuffed, bound hand and foot and sewn into a canvas bag says “okay, I surrender” .

    2. There is NO TECHICALLY (meaning according to the facts). Everyone on this earth knows what the FACTS are! Nazism, rasism, dictatorship, spiteful, liar, deceptiv, malicious! So technically trump is ALL THIS!

    3. Maybe no “act of contrition,” but Sen. Susan Collins is firmly convinced that Trump has FINALLY learned his lesson!!!

  3. Shouldn’t Trump be put under surveillance immediately considering the fact that he’s a psychopath ??

    1. @Mo Cuishle More like to others. He still got the authority to launch nuclear strikes and start WW3. Sounds crazy but Trump has proven to be unpredictable.

  4. I’m just … wow this country is falling apart in the worst way. America we can be better than this … so much better.

    1. @Jase c-k-y yeah, but check Democrat states. They tax their people so hard it’s hard to rise out of paycheck to paycheck wages. And people are so dumb that they run away from those high tax states only to continue to vote in people that have no spending limits. That’s why Democrats agreed with Trump in giving out 2,000 bucks. They just spend, spend, spend. Not only that, but in the last stimulus our government thanks to Democrats also gave out money to other countries. Trump said remove the money to other countries to increase the money to send to everybody. Republicans said ok, Democrats said no. Then they argued to just increase the limit, Republicans said no, Democrats said ok. Who is the adult in Congress? Definitely not Democrats.

    2. @Scott Bilger well, this country was founded on overthrowing a corrupt government. That’s why we have the 2nd Amendment. Can’t get more American than that. Putting the government in check isn’t treason. Letting BLM/ANTIFA communists destroy our cities is treason. Why was Trump called a dictator when he tried to stop the rioters? Why were politicians complicit when rioters trashed other people’s work place but angry when it was the place they themselves work at? Hypocrisy!

  5. “This is not about politics and has never been about politics. It’s that this is a deeply disturbed man who has been this way his whole adult life. And who we knew would get worse under pressure because that is what happens to these people with this kind of severe disorder.”

    1. @all lives matter your title “all lives matter” is just white nationalism wrapped in the flag . the only hate you feel i am citing is against your core values. You are an enabler of what trumpers spew and what the traitors showed on the 6th. I challenge your beliefs as against the Democracy of this nation. I could care less if you ban me, your type are traitors to the meaning of this nation and must be called out. I have seen many of your comments, and you can stick your ideas in the same place your trumpist/nazi ideals came from….. Power to the People…lol

    2. And the disorder is, they have too much money, so it drives them insane. Kind of like the instant Lotto winner, too much all at once can’t handle it.

    3. @Cynthia Ayers no it’s not. Money amplifies character. Their character was garbage to begin with. Someone said, had Trump grown up poor he’d just be another New York peddler, tryna con people with whatever he could come up with

    4. @Cynthia Ayers the disorder is narcissism and there is a lot of YouTube knowledge out there on the subject to heal us from this.

    5. You said it better than I could! Mary Trump warned us! tRump must be put in a padded room if they have to frog carry out!

    1. You’re denigrating Goebbels. He wouldn’t have had this half-wit as his protege but I see your point. It was THE BIG LIE from day one, biggest inauguration crowd, alternative facts, fake news.

    1. @Dustin Hunt I love me some right wing tears falling right into my coffee cup. F your feelings like you all said 4 years ago. Karma is a B ain’t it?! Lol

    2. And always stops his speech right before the incriminating subject for deniability purposes. But the bonus to him for this idiotic speech pattern is that it allows him to have the rest of the [what should have been] sentence to compliment himself.

    3. Ok. Some of you don’t know how to read these messages. I. The psychology of Trump’s supporters is to react aggressively if frustrated, threatened or insulted. He said that they would not be disrespected. That means there is to be a great show of force. It will be remembered long into the future. It is going to be big. II. He wont be there at the inaugration which means that a lot of his folks should not place themselves in harm’s way at that point. Certain leading actors in his allied militias know what to do.

    4. I really am somewhat reluctant to have to spell this out for you. Trump has been directing mob violence for years. You just are not as smart as his interpreters in the militias are or the folks in FAAMNNG.

    1. Bring on the ieds, molotov cocktails, cache of weapons bought from gun shops, knives, and the most special – Confederate flags.

    2. @Dustin Hunt “he didnt say that , so your quote is a lie” whoa – we’ve got a smart one here!!!

    3. Claude, it doesn’t matter, they made literal calls for violence, calls that were answered. And one was a politician. So let’s be real honest here. You don’t care about calls to violence, because you ignore real calls to violence. No, you just have Trump Derangement Syndrome, and you have to make up quotes to pretend that he is calling people to violence.

    4. @Dustin Hunt derangement syndrome lmao like grabbing women by the vagina and making fun of the disabled disrespected John McCain in life and death to bad we didn’t see them taxes private BONE SPURS is not a billionaire please miss me with that nonsense had to beg for money from his poorly educated ignorant bigoted BASE LOSER

    5. Hey1 Maybe the Flying Monkey Call to Duty Army has a secret someone on the ceremonial 105mm crew over at Ft. Meyer.

  6. In being denied his beloved twitter, Trump will be angry and confused….. and potentially more unbalanced.
    Lock him up quickly.
