  1. It’s so sad … Here in Europe we know a thing or two about diktators and you guys helped us getting rid of them. Please do better than this! Rise to the moment and unify that city upon that hill.!!

    1. TRUMP IN EUROPE! TRUMP FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION !

      LOOK AT THIS MACRON WHO ASK 100 BILLION ! 40 BILLION FOR FRENCHIES / 60 BILLION FOR OTHER EUROPEAN UNION COUTRIES!

      TRUMP WOULD NEVER ACCEPT THIS PROPOSAL!

    2. @Eva Stapaard Rich say the truth! Trump is loved in europe. Go watch comment under any news about Trump. You will see

    3. @Sly Shadows I live in Europe and have family in different parts of it.
      I have to admit there are certain groups that love trump, but most hate him.
      if you don’t know that you should talk to different people. not just your tiny group of trumpanzees

  2. Biden winning was one of the few good things about 2020 and Orange Saddam Hussein has been trying ever since to steal that from us.

    1. Him and butt-buddy Putin already stole it from Hillary with their fake e-mails.

    2. @The Tweatles Neither have you. Which is why you torment people with your political illiteracy, homophobia, and that Geneva Convention banned weapon you call your “music”.

    3. @The Tweatles Trump hasn’t done too well on protecting the born. 240,000 and counting dead due to his wanting to downplay the virus! He should be imprisoned for this fraud on the American people! Trumps lawyers are now 0 for 10 on legal challenges before the courts on supposed voter fraud. It is time for Trump to concede and let the transition go forward. If you have any real evidence of voter fraud then show it now or shut up! The majority of American voters are tired of this and want to move on.

    4. For all of you LEFTY CRAZIES out there, the 2020 Election is NOT over!! Biden has not OFFICIALLY WON!! Stop jumping the gun, you may be SOARLY disappointed!!

    5. @MB Trump Trumps lawyers are now 0 for 10 on legal challenges before the courts on supposed voter fraud. It is time for Trump to concede and let the transition go forward. If you have any real evidence of voter fraud then show it now or shut up! The majority of American voters are tired of this and want to move on. And by the way you misspelled sorely. And the election is over. Biden has won. Hopefully you will accept this soon.

  3. As celebrations take place around the world for a renewed commitment to democracy a devastating situation is out of control in Yemen. Over 85,000 children have died since 2018 because of US foreign policy and cooperation with the Saudi Royal Family. Another 1,000,000 Yemen children, women and men are still facing starvation. We can save them by providing immediate emergency assistance with our allies. We are capable of mobilizing international resources to stop this evolving catastrophe and save as many lives as we can just as we battle COVID-19 domestically. Let such corrective and compassionate efforts mark our re-entry into the community of nations and a disavowal of an administration’s selfish, scared isolationism stance. Join me in this humanitarian cyber activism and share this post. Stay safe out there and thank you.

  4. Malignant Narcissism scoffs at the ideal of “the Greater Good” and finds altruism incalculable, hence sacrificial heroes are “losers and suckers,” and raising concerns about “national security of the country” does not phase him.

    1. He can’t understand anything good because the truth is he behaves as he does because he utterly hates himself.

  5. The pathetic excuse for a president currently occupying the white house needs to be prepared too,
    *for incarceration*

    1. @Rich Whiteman you don’t know much about anything, do you? You do realize there are half a dozen of grand jury indictments in the SDNY that prosecutors say THEY WILL PURSUE….

    2. For all of you LEFTY CRAZIES out there, the 2020 Election is NOT over!! Biden has not OFFICIALLY WON!! Stop jumping the gun, you may be SOARLY disappointed!!

  6. A Republican Senator said he will step in if Biden isn’t given security briefings by tomorrow. The log jam will break soon. Everybody stay calm.

    1. Y’all set in judgement and constantly hurl insults towards millions of Americans. Most of us like me are veterans!!, do you really think the storm is over!!. All you and the media are accomplishing is a divide that will carries consequences!!!. Believe that!!!.

    2. Republican Sen Chuck Grassley also stated today that he would press Trump admin to give President-Elect Biden Intelligence briefings.

  7. If the stories are true that Trump knows he can’t win and he is just playing this out, then every republican that is enabling him is just as guilty as Trump for holding up a smooth transition.

    1. A few of the republican politicians have made clear more so every day, that this is LESS about supporting Donald Trump than keeping his base ginned up in order to keep them engaged in run off elections in GA. They are scared stiff that they will possibly lose those races which will affect their majority in the senate. They need that majority in order to hinder Biden in any policies he wants to set. “We will NOT allow these losses in GA!” True stuff. How far are they willing to go to make that declaration true? That’s a legitimate question.

    2. The grifting will continue. He has half the country convinced he’s the only right show in town. He’s already setting up grifts to run even while we speculate.

    3. Mr. Biden I Can’t wait to Watch the election results come in over the next couple weeks! NOT ONE STATE HAS BEEN CERTIFIED TRUMP 2020

  8. We are literally risking our national security just so Trump can continue this scam of stealing money from his supporters via donations, even though he knows he’s got no evidence!

    We have to put a stop to this. But whilst Republican politicians enable him there’s nothing we can do!

    1. the election authorities have halted this fake fraud propaganda in states , trump lost and will not be in the oval office in Jan 22nd

    2. @Maggie Hubbard
      Yes, they are just afraid of their constituents, so they need to know that not all of their constituents are sheep.

    1. @lolita rodas Trump did not loose yet all Americans need to be confident in the election we owe it too all Americans. Its very simple investigate ALL claims of fraud to secure confidence. Its very simple

  9. He doesn’t care about America he is a narcissistic human being.
    Doesn’t care about anyone but him self..

    1. For all of you LEFTY CRAZIES out there, the 2020 Election is NOT over!! Biden has not OFFICIALLY WON!! Stop jumping the gun, you may be SOARLY disappointed!!

  10. There will be no passing on the baton – Biden will need to pick it up off the ground from where it was dropped sometime ago.

  11. The republican party was once a party of honesty, honour and integrity. Now… it is hijacked by a undemocratic, narcissist. History will remember!!!

    1. They are supporting this Moron so they can use this bunch of fools that are following Trum for repuplican voters support in the next election in 2024. Give your head a shake.. Discussing

    1. @Sly Shadows the last time I checked, 75 million was a larger number than 70. And 45 lost. I remember 4 years ago, all the 45ers were telling Hillary she was a sore loser. He is a sore loser. But still a loser. Our votes matter. You will not disenfranchise us because your guy lost. 45’s time is up.

    2. @Sly Shadows 250,000 Americans have died on his watch! Their lives mattered. Biden could have, would have, should have… you don’t know to you? But we know what 45 has done so miss me with Biden and what he would have done. 45 must and will go.

    3. For all of you LEFTY CRAZIES out there, the 2020 Election is NOT over!! Biden has not OFFICIALLY WON!! Stop jumping the gun, you may be SOARLY disappointed!!

    4. @Sly Shadows Biden doesn’t want to shut us down. What Trump is not doing is killing us and going to cause us to shut down. Biden will save us. He is doing all the steps necessary to have a covid task force,backed up by scientist and doctors who have specialized in this field for many years. He’s going to handle this the way a world pandemic should have been done from the very start. He’s going to show all of us what a true leader does for all his people.

  12. We are under terror attack again!! Only this time it’s the current president who is attacking America and American Democracy!!
