    1. Biden and Harris are both on record as supporting police defunding, and euphemistically calling it “reimagining police funding.” The Democrats are pushing for legalized looting and calling it “shoplifting.”

  1. Watched Eric’s speech on the BBC and after it the news reader said,does the middle east know there at peace 😆 as for Melania talking about her husband’s honesty,I’m still trying to get the Earl gray tea stain out of my t-shirt which sprayed out my mouth as I burst into laughter

    1. @C F I actually fell asleep while watching RNC,even missed my warfarin appointment,which I’ve never done before since 2012.🤦🏾‍♀️

    2. @Another Disaster I saw my thrombosis doctor today,let’s just say she’s happy,that between her and cardiovascular and warfarin on 6th March what they did and said if I hadn’t taken there advice,I’d be gone by now.

    3. @Another Disaster I am actually. Plus as I live in west Yorkshire in the UK,there’s time when I text and talk that isn’t quite our Queen’s English,yet as a black woman knowing this it is what it is.

  2. I think they’ve begun to believe the lies they tell… Peace in the Middle East? Hasn’t anyone read the news lately?

    1. Trump accomplished a historic peace agreement in the Middle East that others before him could not and deserves the Nobel peace prize, but will he get it?

    2. It is an undeniable fact that Trump brokered an historic peace agreement. Disliking Trump per the media does not change that fact.

    1. @Adi-LMNOP and you are just plain ignorant, spouting bumper sticker slogans without a clue of what you’re saying. No, my butt doesn’t hurt, but I know injustice when I see it. This country is currently NOT what is stated in the Pledge of Allegiance. I am doing just fine, personally, by the grace of God and hard work. But you and I, without the “pre-existing conditions” clause of the Obamacare you hate, would be 1 health event away from being ruined.

    2. @Tracy LaBad thank you for finding me.
      I got lost easily.
      Seriously though I am @JustWinks on Twitter too. Come join us. 😉

    3. Is she the Mayor of Washington DC a traitor to BLM? DC mayor tells diners they should call cops on abusive BLM protesters

      The mayor of Washington, DC, ripped militant Black Lives Matter protesters caught on camera abusing white diners — urging any victims to call the cops on them.

      “What I saw in those videos was highly inappropriate,” DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference Wednesday. “It was likely against the law if they were on private property.”

    4. @cessna caravan .. We know you’re a LIAR just like COWARD 45..I see you using the same old rhetoric,the same old regurgitative talk,,the same old blaming others; Just all the same ole same ole..Thank you for reminding us again and again and again🙄🙄🙄🙄…

    1. @WelshWidgetMan2O1O So, to summarise your post; oh, oh, oh, oh, the democrats. They’re to blame for everything.

      Perhaps you might ask yourself why any sane and decent democratic organisation should work with man child who lies about them all the time and constantly calls them ludicrously childish names.

      It seems that just like the racist you support, you will never accept that the perennial loser-in-chief should ever take responsibility for his own failures. It seems that with trump and his facilitators like you and the republican party, it is always somebody else’s fault. Today, as so often, it is the Democratic party’s ‘fault’. Tomorrow it will be back to blaming Obama again or just anyone else, for trump’s own activities. You and trump are no doubt going to blame Biden for the sun going down at night and take credit for trump when it miraculously comes up again. After all, that is clearly something that no other US administration has achieved or that anyone believed was possible, isn’t it? That’s how ludicrous your line of argument is and what a fool trump makes of himself every single time he uses it.

      One thing that is also trump’s own responsibility is his documented pathological lying. No-one makes him lie to the American people so much. Not even the Democratic party. Not Biden. Not Obama either, unbelievably! It is entirely trump’s own choice to lie so much to the American people and that is one of the main reasons why he is going to go down so badly in November. To paraphrase trump, it is going to be the world’s worst crash and burn. Even worse than his covid-19 disaster, if that is possible.

      I invite you to tell trump to stop lying pathologically to the American people, right here on this thread. 

      You never will, will you?

    2. @TripleAstyle1 A You are so funny. Since when did “..critical thinking skills…” ever mean ‘just making stuff up’? Just now in your post, it seems.

      Exactly how much has Mexico paid specifically for the wall to date. 0 pesos, 1 peso, 2 pesos or 3 pesos? Strangely you couldn’t be bothered to provide a single figure to support your own claims. When you make a claim it is your responsibility to support it, not anyone else’s. Your utter failure to describe the actual mechanism that exists for Mexico to ‘pay’ or to even show when and where trump described that mechanism at any his rallies, just shows very clearly exactly how much credence to give your nonsense, namely none whatsoever.

      Sometimes people realise when to stop digging the holes they are in. I see that you have not yet acquired that skill.

      Remember now. For you to be believed you will have to provide evidence of all the times trump told the attendees at his rallies exactly what mechanism they were chanting about, as well as the total amount that the Mexican government has paid to the US specifically for the wall to date and how many instalments it was paid in and how much was in each instalment. You can do this in whatever way you want other than by simply making them up yourself. Preferably you will reference the official US government accounts which record all those payments into the appropriate account that exists for the wall. I won’t wait up.

      If you actually have any of the evidence that Mexico has in fact been ‘paying’ for the wall, why did trump try to effectively steal money from the military budget to help pay for the wall?

      That is the trump, who famously served in the US military and who won so many medals for his bravery! You know, the trump who has never yet told his much-admired friend, the murdering communist Putin to stop putting bounties on the heads of US soldiers. You remember, the trump who famously, simply couldn’t be bothered going on an official visit to a US military graveyard in France in case his hair got wet and the trump who couldn’t be bothered to go to Arlington shortly after his French debacle in order to honour America’s war dead.

      You know that trump. The moral and physical coward that you facilitate on this thread.

    3. @creed200569 

      And you expect anyone to believe this garbage? Surely not. We are just not that stupid.

      Perhaps you would tell us then why trump tried to steal money for the wall from the US military? If what you claim, namely that 1000 times the cost of the wall has been raised, is true, then he would have no need to steal anything from the military budget, would he? 

      Perhaps you can tell us all exactly where and when trump told all the people who chanted ‘Mexico’ at his rallies that he was going to attempt to steal billions from the US military budget to help pay for the wall?

      Perhaps, if your claim is true, you could tell us all exactly what the wall will actually cost. You would have to know that figure for your claim to be true, but you don’t seem to realise that. You would also have to know exactly how much money has been raised for your claim to be true. What exactly is that figure? If you have any idea at all.

      Perhaps you can show us all where trump explained that he was going to do exactly what you claim at his rallies?

      I notice that you couldn’t be bothered but when was the money collected in the way you claim allocated to the wall by Congress. None of it belongs to trump of course and he has absolutely no power to allocate any of it to anything. Congress has to do that and as far as I am aware none of what you describe has been allocated to the wall.

      I notice that you couldn’t be bothered to supply a single actual figure of how much money has been raised specifically to build the wall. Perhaps you will?

    4. @WelshWidgetMan2O1O I see you do your research. We don’t listen to these ppl for the news we listen to know what lies are spread 😉

    1. @d fobroy I will help the OG then… to make things more plain.

      Fascism, historically, is commonly a byproduct of :

      1. extreme nationalism ( identified by ” my country first, love it or leave it” type rhetoric, “we are doing better than everybody else”, “my country, my flag, right or wrong!”),

      2. xenophobic statements ( such as ” our problems are because those guys over there who look different than us”, ” build a wall”, “kick them out” “they are barely human”)

      3. the fostering of a SUPERIORITY MYTH ( “Aryan Blood is pure”, “The Chosen People of God”, “MAGA”, “we have done nothing to be regretful for” “WHITE POWER” as examples of such)

      If the Left is soooo Fascist, then provide examples of these specific behaviors that are similar to the current Right Trump supporting platform as well as the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930’s

      The right wing has been guilty of milder forms of all three of these types of rhetoric for years and up until now. Check out wikipedia and look up The Southern Strategy (en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Southern_strategy) Right Wing folks fall for this type of stuff all the time because of a SEVERE moral corruptness based on a mix of fear, greed, privilege and arrogance.

    2. Alex King Don’t be a shame that was the Germany of ole,the problem of today from then is THE POWERS THAT BE OF TODAY society wants that MAKE AMERIKKKA GREAT while supporting those TWO flags that represent HATE ,the Rebel & Swatzika Flags ,nothing personal against GERMANY, the power of one man at that time was a reckoning that we all in life would never want to RELIVE ,surely you agree that there is A RACIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE, pushing these issues.

    3. Chinese Chicken The system is the same not the policy, don’t let that go over your head, the better of two evils overhaul may not be promised in our life time, but the righteous always prevail, the spread of hate kills as a WHOLE and MAN KIND seen it’s and FELT its scars ,AGENT ORANGE AND HIS , unless your one of his KOOL AID SIPPERS SAY OTHERWISE, the freedom of speech me and you share are never more, so to till then , I BORN TO LIVE AND I LIVE TOO DIE & if SO not DONALD DRAFT DODGER DUCK WAY, MY WAY , Like the ORANGE PEEL SAID, what do you have to LOSE or his best quote by FAR , “IT IS WHAT IT IS “ , go figure that , A DUMMY in the WHITE HOUSE , got us here.

    4. @Chinese Chicken Of course you are liar.

      Remember the famous British army song, sung to Colonel Bogey. All together now….

      Trump only has one ball.
      Pence has two but his are small.
      Himmler has something similar but
      Pompeo has no balls at all.

    1. @Frank Rizzo practicing my alternative facts . Learnt from kkkellyann and the trump virus CULT.

    2. @Tyrone John Michael Rautahi lol that’s all u leftist can do..no facts just hurling blind insults lol if that’s all u can do just stop talking. Cause none of what u said is true or factual lmao

    3. @jeremy stamper your probibly 87year old white male on the sex offenders list.
      96%of sex offending politician’s are Republican . Also 100%of voter fraud ever was perpetrated by the Republican party.
      Very sore LOSERS. Very swampy offenders

    1. If only Greta T. Would have ambitious parents she could have sued Fox news for talking b.s about her all the time.

    1. They are All Liars. It’s is so Sad that Money is so important to Trump supporters (the Rich ones, not the poor gun totting rally attending ones…they are on their Yachts, Vacation homes and watching Wall St.

  3. I almost fell over when Melania said we need honesty from a President. Yes , that’s why we need a new President. There has been no honesty in this White House for almost 4 years. Thanks for that First Lady.

    1. @Charles Jones Jr you can, but doesn’t make it true. Continue supporting the destruction of the country. Continue pretending like it’s not happening. Keep letting them control the way you think. See where that takes us all.

    2. @Charles Jones Jr ok your argument devolved even more. Couldn’t address the destruction, the chaos. Shows where you stand. A little more researching and you’ll #walkaway as well.

    3. @UC93d2bB4BcrnLTX6moEo_Kw lol. It’s in your country. I thought that’s what we are fighting for. I guess I’m wrong. Because what happens in some cities won’t impact others, right?

    1. Cinnamon Girl look fascist Democratic Party is attacking second amendment and freedom of religion every day. Imagine If they were successful a year ago, BLM and Antifa would have no fear to attack our neighborhoods. You are naive.

    2. @V M Democratic Communists can’t comprehend what their POS party is really about. Brainwashed Fools.

    3. @Russ Hornbeck I didn’t mean you specifically. Maybe I should have used the word “one” to be more clear. Well, my argumentation is more against gun culture in the US. Almost every household in Sweden hunt (at least in my northern parts, and rural parts). Before dad got dementia, he hunted and owned a few different rifles. I am friends with a couple of handguns collectors as well. Sweden has quite strict weapon laws (not just guns), but still people who hunt and collect can get them. We don’t see a lot of gun violence, except for the last few years where gangs have gained a foothold in the big city suburbs, unfortunately. They shoot people quite often, but the rest of the country doesn’t see any gun violence (apart from a suicide here and there). I don’t think most of the gun violence in the US is committed with hunting rifles.

    4. @Johan Nilsson most deaths in the u.s. is by handgun and over 12,000 a year by suicide. It’s not legal gun owners committing crimes it’s the gangs, criminals. Full disclosure, there have been legal gun owners that have killed people or done STUPID THINGS WITH GUNS and gotten themselves killed. Case in point the blm dumbass who pointed a legally owned m15 at a legal permit holder for conceal carry, it didnt end well for the blm dumbass.

    1. @PerfectlyPurePink PomPomPanties We need the Blunt truth Because the first step to solving a problem is admitting that there is a problem.The next step Is saying what the complete problem is then there is the third step nothing who is adding to the problem and who is trying to fix the problem this is my form of logic .

    2. The person who put in a say that what you’re saying is not true doesn’t live in the same universe as we are living in right now.This remind me of 9/11 why because I was watching it on TV as was millions of people but the thing is I am a empath and on that day it was inpossible to keep out what millions of people’s true as it was happening there emotions turn into the world’s this is not happening and it got louder and louder and louder empathically speaking this person is probably one of those who were trying to drown out the truth in his mind just as there are people who refuse to accept that the covid-19 pandemic is happening right now.

    3. @Carol Price No one refuses to accept that COVID is happening, we just know that we were lied to about the severity and it’s not much more than a flu at best. Even if CNN were telling the truth, how can I believe them after so many lies?
      edit: hope you saved some of that empathy for the people whos lives are being destroyed right now because of the riots and the lockdowns.

    4. @Logic Plague There is no excuse for running peoples lives by attaching stores and peoples vehicles I also know the one thing that the so called experts on covid-19 are keeping secret.Thay have been forced on two forms of spreading the covid-19 one saliva and two touch but what they are not saying and is in front of everybody’s eyes is your skin Breaths in and out the pours in your skin that is for sweat and body odor a invisible cloud from the pours in your skin do you know what this Means?This is how we went from three million to five million people with covid-19 in a week Masks can’t give any protection alone the only compleat protection is to cover all your skin in two layers of fabric and that will give you and others some protection.People are spreading the covid-19 virus through the pours in your skin and even farts.No joke the numbers say it all and the speed of covid-19 is the evadens I don’t know why doctors are not saying anything about the pours in our skin.

  4. Why not fact check on Jacob Lake’s real background?? and fact check on the 3 guy were shot by the kid ??? CNN give pass to all criminal
