  1. How many officials of Trump’s Administration does it take to screw in a light bulb?
    Nine:
    One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed.
    One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs
    to be changed.
    Trump to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.
    Trump to tell the nations of the world that they are either “for”
    changing the light bulb or “for” darkness.
    One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract for the
    new light bulb.
    One to deny there was ever a light bulb.
    One to arrange a photograph of Trump, dressed as a janitor, standing
    on a step ladder under the banner: “Light Bulb Change Accomplished”.
    One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting
    in detail how Trump was literally in the dark.
    Trump to viciously smear the others.
    That Russian guy.
    One to say:”But what about those missing light bulbs?”?
    Trump to campaign at rallies on how he had
    a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along.
    One that’s going to steal the light bulb.
    Trump to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing
    a light bulb and screwing the country.

    1. @Bud Fudlacker Ey mate,
      Why did you write that your channel does not have any content?
      Is that a very Catholic confession
      or a Freudian slip?

    2. @Bud Fudlacker
      Another flaming homosexual reference here in the UK.
      Don’t walk and talk on a London street at night.

  2. “TRUMPSTER” is the only one that’s never heard of JUNTEENTH…because he’s never in his lifetime opened up a History Book!!! Lol…😂…or A Reading Book for that matter!!!

    1. @Bud Fudlacker – Bro, no one cares about your dying farm, in a fly over state, you stank breath rube. 🤣

    2. @Bat Boy i believe that was his biggest intentions… ” if i go DOWN why not bring the whole House DOWN wit me” (trumpvoice)

  3. “Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature — opposition to it is in his love of justice.
    —Abraham Lincoln, October 16, 1854 Speech in Peoria

    “I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong.”
    –Abraham Lincoln, April 4, 1864

    “This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”
    –Abraham Lincoln, April 6, 1859

    1. “I should not know what to do as to the existing institution. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia, to their own native land.”
      ~ Abraham Lincoln, October 16, 1854 Speech in Peoria

    2. @Bud Fudlacker

      What does quotes about ending slavery have to do with Muller? Do you think Muller supports slavery like our confederate president?

    3. Thank you David! That last quote is my favorite quote of 2020 cause it still applies to this very day!

    4. @Shango Sankofa I could not conclude Trump committed a crime! – Robert Mueller! I like that quote!

  4. *The enemy of Trump is his mouth,*
    It’s very strong to him.
    *his mouth will destroy him*
    The MOUTH of Trump always *#HUMILIATE** HIMSELF.*
    i don’t need to add it.
    *Even if he do or not, he lost it!*
    *#FROM** **#HIS** **#MOUTH**!!!*

    1. TAKE DOWN THE RACIST DEMOCRAT PARTY AS THAT TOO REMINDS MILLIONS OF US, DURING THE TIMES WHEN THEY HAD SLAVES, LYNCHING AND THE KKK.

    2. @OBAMAGATE OBAMAGATE Its always hilarious the right-wing racist cry. They were racist 200 years ago, so we can be now, just make sure you bring up pre civil war.

    3. @Dave Ponsford what about the Democrats that just dropped a Confederate soldier statue on a black man’s head, putting him in a coma? No one has been charged! It happened in Portsmouth Virginia you can look it up!

    4. Ignorant person didn’t know that his words can humiliate himself,
      Because he can’t be a courage to see his faults.
      So his enemies is himself,
      even if you blame others.

  5. We defeated colonialism, we defeated slavery yet both of those things are still prevalent in our day to day lives. Could it be the stubbornness of white patriarchy? Just asking.

    1. I think after having a black president who didn’t have the “stain” of slavery and was a scandal free administration give or take a few foul ups for sure. Then electing this man, I think as black people we finally figured out how much had the country hates us. And how the other half tolerates is in a country we built but have no power in.

    2. @John Brown Obama bombed Libya creating a booming African slave trade, due to leaving them without a government, the slaves are being traded to this day! Are you cool with that?

  6. Trump is also proud of making the victims of his sexual misconduct, whom nobody had ever heard of until he groped them, famous.

    1. @Bud Fudlacker Horrible deflection, nice try MAGA cult clone. Your fat lazy conman thinks you’re an easy mark.

    2. @Aingell but you just want a guy who says he was in a gang war with Corn Pop and has hairy legs and loves kids rubbing his legs and jumping on his lap! SICK DUDE!

  7. January 1, 1863…”The Emancipation Proclamation” was signed… 2 1/2 years later…announced in Texas…1865…General Granger…withheld the document…which gave Texas…2 1/2 years of free labor…Screwed…yet again !!! This is what Juneteenth…is all about…finally…”ALL” slaves were freed…( Google it !!!)

  8. He surrounded by white men…asking everyone around you and they don’t know doesn’t mean nobody else knows.

    1. A while, He surrounded by black people asking everyone around you and they don’t know doesn’t mean nobody else knows.

    1. Obama and Biden didn’t either.What they say about Juneteenth.Nothing at all or they would be showing clips of a speech or something.

  9. oh i love that “..back in the real world” after a exert about the white house and trump 🙂

  10. I think after having a black president who didn’t have the “stain” of slavery and was a scandal free administration give or take a few foul ups for sure. Then electing this man, I think as black people we finally figured out how much had the country hates us. And how the other half tolerates is in a country we built but have no power in.

  11. “None of the descendants of slave holders that I talked to knew what it was but I’ve now made it famous”

  12. Where is the video of Obama or Biden talking about Juneteenth?All the years they were in charge.Nothing about Juneteenth.

  13. If Obama or Biden or any Democrat leader spoke about Juneteenth before.No they have not, or they would be showing all day.Where they at?
