  1. I still have my job working from home & for this I count my Lucky Stars & its not because of tRump that I’m lucky that way!

    1. @Baby drumphf Guys, guys…both of You. Break it up. We’re all American at the end of the day. Let’s just all get along, OK? By the way, I’m not related to Kevin McNeil — he just happens to have the same last name as me.

    2. @Brother Sanguinary No way…It is you, my forgotten son from many years ago. I should of pulled out that night. Sorry, Kiddo. I didn’t mean to. 🙂

  2. What happened to that $3 trillion in relief money? Oh that’s right. Most of it went to the corporations who didn’t need it but can’t turn down a blank check. Cool cool. 👍

    1. It would take an estimated 1.6 trillion dollars to pay off all student loans in America. Of the $3 Trillion, 1.5 went into the stock market, which benefits only the top 20% who own 80% of the stock markets.
      So they could pay off the student debt. They just don’t want to.

  3. This is so tragic. Food security must be well coordinated right now before it becomes impossible. Law and order is the next most important issue, if Trump fails to maintain that as well, then, it will be a painful sight you never want to see.

    1. Wake up your government is waging war on you. They’re actively destroying the food supply. This is all about breaking the people, forcing them into submission. It’s a manufactured crisis.

  4. Seriously, who cares? This is the same country that gave the finger to the rest of the world over climate science. The USA is in collapse, tough, you bought it on yourselves. You allowed your political system to become so corrupt that a piece of dung like Trump (or Clinton, or now Biden) were the options.
    Your country, your society, is sick.

  5. Turns out that the Stock Markets are a bogus barometer of the nations wealth, then, huh? Donny’s been telling us that we’re SO rich, over the last 3+ years? Yet we can’t pay Americans to stay home and be safe? We can’t even FEED America? Well, that’s something to think about, while you’re waiting in the five mile cue for the Food Bank, huh, America? . . .

  6. Every time someone close to #AgolfTwitler gets diagnosed positive for COVID19… I hear the Jaws theme music in my head😂😂😂

    1. Because you are an evil marxist that wants people to die. You people are sick af. I hate Pelosi, Schiff, the squad, Schumer BUT I don’t want them to get sick/die. You people have a totally broken moral compass.

    2. Trump better be looking over his shoulder. If he does contract the virus, I wonder how honestly his doctors would put in a effort to save him.

  7. I’m not going to take my mask off until 90% of America has been successfully vaccinated. At a minimum, that means no restaurants.

      You’ll die of suffocation first, as a vaccine won’t be coming for CV – it mutates to a different variant too quickly to ever pin it down. Children have died in China whilst running with mask on, because the mask impedes airflow.

    2. @Joe Bloggs If you think someone wearing a mask will die of suffocation then YOU are why Trump gets to lie all the time while his followers eat it up like slop from the trough. Bet middle school was tough for you!

    3. Brother Sanguinary
      It’s actually true – some kids were made to do physical education during this pandemic with masks on, and they died. More than one ☝🏼 Please keep your comments respectful.

  8. Someone needs to take control of your country, be it military or foreign, because you sure can’t fix it yourselves.

  9. On the 28th April the experts were saying that by the end of August the deaths from this virus in the US would reach 70,000, and on
    that day the deaths were 59,000.
    I made a prediction then, that by the 9th May the total would be 80,000.
    Today that total is 80,037 and rising…
    This is the article from that day…
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORGYmZNzVEw&list=WL&index=5&t=346s.

    Based on the fact that the containment of this virus is not being achieved and using the same formula I used before, the casualty total
    by end August looks to be in excess of 300,000.
    The US is going to see extreme unemployment, economic collapse & violent social unrest in the coming months.
    It is unavoidable because of poor and misguided management by this administration headed by #45.
