A Puzzle For The Reality-Based: How To Rebut Bogus Trump Claims Without Amplifying Them?
Why don’t Americans have affordable healthcare, education and housing like they did in 1950s ?
..
@K. McKee are you ?
Tax cuts.
I do not know if we ever had these things. When a country is always involved in a war and military conflicts somewhere on the globe somebody has to front the bill. Usually what is known as the middle class.
🤣🤣🤣 this statement is ludicrous

Yes, glad this is coming out, but I have to admit it’s fun watching Republicans eating there own.

I just watch it before this so here’s the link to it.
@GODEED This is also interesting : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VVLn2bWebM
I saw that. Disgusting.
Conservatives in pursuit of long-cherished policy goals can no longer avoid the reality that the GOP is vandalizing the principles and integrity of our democracy.
In my life time, I have Never seen the Republicans do One thing for the working class!!! NEVER !!!
@Rob Leonard You never will, either.
I can’t get behind a single con-servative policy. Never have, never will.
@SkyGemini
I whole Hartley agree.
And that’s why, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t vote for republicans. Having a healthy sense of reality matters.
@Lisa Clark You are a troll that goes from video to video making the same comment.
China Biden and Hunter Biden communist democrats
@Jim River Not by a long shot! Can’t wait to see all you weak minded liberal losers Meltdown after President Trump is re-elected in January!
@johny lee walker Hey nut job Trump lost many times over. So you republican losers are going to fall apart on January 20th, but do not worry I am sure they will give you another date to look forward to. Crybaby loser!!
@johny lee walker what About Trump Toilet Brushes🚽
Investigate Johnson ASAP! He’s treasonous!
Include Rand Paul in that, too.
When a republican senator puts up that big a fuss about being a Russian tool, chances are, it’s because he is.
The republican meeting on July 4,2018 should have been a clue that they planned on doing what they’ve done in other Countries worldwide ,good to see true patriots fighting back.
US Hearing yesterday https://youtu.be/aM6q5sstAaE
His weak pathetic protests have been totally transparent and shamefull, and what a time to bring it all up again! The man is a mystery to me, he seems so lap doggish and reasonable at first.
The man behaves differently than but just as idiotic as his Lord and master. An eyesore to any civilized person. Obviously not used to a situation where HIMSELFISH must go into defence mode. Then makes public harakiri.
@Magic 21 Keep your right wing propaganda to yourself
Such nonsense. Trump did the same thing in 2016 when he signed an EO to form a commission on voter fraud. After eight months they disbanded.
FACTS MATTER. That should be self-evident to anyone over toddler age. Denying the existence of a virus, or of an evidently-robust democratic electoral process, demonstrably does not end well.
.. toddler age, a definition stretched thin for 4 years now 😆..🤧..😷
Ron Johnson so reminds me of Wisconsin’s earlier democracy destroying Senator, Joe McCarthy. I expect Johnson to come striding into the Senate tomorrow carrying an 1952 era briefcase stuffed full of his fraudulent claims.
“Have you no shame, Senator Johnson? Have you no sense of decency?”
brilliantly said, ty sen peters and dr peters. exactly. they do know better btw.
“I don’t think the science knows, actually.” -t***p
Say no more, not interested.
Suddenly its a different story when it comes to taking credit for the covid vaccine.
He must have an awful bunch of constituents that have kept him in. I can’t fathom this kind of stupidity
I see Americans who voted for Trump thinking they were voting out both political parties, Trumps’
biggest accomplishment being people thinking he’s not Republican. No leading Democrat wanted
to run against George Bush after he became a war-time president by attacking Iraq. That’s how a
governor like Bill Clinton became president, politicians being wrong about public opinion.
@Cindy Brewer: You must have too much Drano in your meth mix. You should come down a little before you publish here.
The Republican Party needs to be wiped off the political map.
Correction: the republican party needs to be wiped off the map PERIOD! 💀
How do you wipe a political entity from the political map?
@Cindy Brewer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@SerenityMae11 wow, do you think its helpful to advocate killing millions of Americans?
“Fumouffu”:
It’s a figure of speech. I shouldn’t have to clarify that for you.
Get well soon America.
That chairman Johnson have to be kick out for attempting coupe
I believe there is an article in the constitution that they can use to remove all 126 members who signed on to the Texas lawsuit. It is my sincere wish that every one of them who signed on to it is removed from their position unable to work in politics again.
I agree with you. These people have been corrupted, some by a foreign power. The fact that they supported a coup against the government of the United States should make them ineligible to serve. I don’t know what was going through what they are using for their thought process, the fact is they supported a coup. As such they become domestic terrorists. They all took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. They broke that oath by supporting a mentally deranged man, becoming domestic enemies. They need to be expelled from Congress and forbidden to ever serve again.
Trump is afraid of losing his immunity. That’s why he won’t give up.
@Elizabeth Csicsery-Ronay The first word you write really shows who you are and just exactly that, poor you. Did you donate any $ to your dear leader today yet crackhead?
Don’t just donate a few bucks, how about take out mortgage on your house and give it all…oh don’t forget to go lick your orange man child ground it’s walking on and wipes its mouth off because it’s been spewing garbages a lot lately.
@Cindy Brewer Awww….. sore loser ….. dream on….
@Susan Mann And it won’t just be Muslims dancing in New Jersey.
Yes trump is running scared and pulling every trick out of his hat to avoid criminal charges against him, and all the republicans that support trump are slowly destroying any chance of a career that they had, matter of fact they are destroying they’re own party. Biden is going to have a very difficult presidency trying to straighten out all the damage trump has done over the last 4 years and he will be heavily criticized for it.
100% true
We the people of Wisconsin vote trump out. We will vote Ron Johnson out too
He can’t very well belong to any senate or alike in the world. Reminded me of the Kavanaugh hearing in the Senate. Both exposes their own real character 100%.
@GoGreen1977 do you think please has the strength to get people who believe a different worldview to change their minds?
@Silent Wisdom – West central Wisconsin here. I’m embarrassed we have Johnson attached to us like an ankle bracelet. It’s nauseating.
@A. Barker – Do NOT equate us with Kentucky. Biden DID win Wisconsin. Kentucky gave the country both McConnell AND Rand Paul. We can still save the country if GA does the right thing and votes out both Perdue and Android Barbie.
@phunkyCW Yeah Voss rules with an iron heart here, I hate it too. Slow revolution huh?
Wish someone would ask what is Ron Johnson hiding or covering up this guy looks and sounds dirty as heck
Ron Johnson has no shame. He should resign today. He needs to run away not run for office.
I want to cast my vote for trump as one of the worst cult leaders in US history
