    1. June SC Nope, my pants are not on fire. If you’re going to respond to political conversation don’t resort to name calling. Respond in a scholarly and logical manner with your argument. Don’t be emotional, remember this is only politics. Politics is a fascinating field and I began to get involved when I worked my first campaign for Hubert H. Humphrey. He was a liberal before that word was even associated with politics. I’ve been working for Democrat politics for years and years and I believe I know a little bit about it.

    2. June SC Your name calling again respect political science and respond in a scholarly and logical manner. Do not resort to name calling do not resort to emotion. This is all politics.

    3. “The Babylonian Fascist NAZI Zionist Banking Conglomerates and their murdering Confederate Police Dogs have given this election to Harris/Biden” – Nathaniel Jones

    4. Jason Hay You are talking about our progressive cities run by democrats. Look at all of these shootings of unarmed Black people by police or those acting as police. These are all in our democrat controlled protective cities. Let me identify these for you, New York City, Ferguson, Baltimore, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Louisville. Should we talk about the killings of Black people on the southside of Chicago. Look at the nightly riots in Portland. Everything you were lamenting is happening in our democrat controlled progressive city.

    1. @Jeffrey Dahmer A little kid who thinks he’s ‘edgy’ using Jeffry Dahmer’s name. Surprise, surprise.

    2. @DarkKnightTrinity you’re just jealous of my name because it’s much darker than yours! By the way, your mother wants you out of the basement but is afraid to ask.

  1. Trump wants to blame Biden for this somehow.
    Or call it a Democrat hoax.
    It will magically disappear lol
    His sharpie will draw a path through Democrat controlled cities, bypassing the Republican party.

    1. Matt Thompson Almost 200,000 Americans dead due to your butt buddy’s incompetence. Care to try again, powderpuff?

    2. @Matt Thompson you cant respond back?
      You understand that Trump has no empathy for American citizens aka democratic but has never criticized Putin and your okay.
      Find one example please share if you can?

    3. Matt Thompson Will you please stop saying that nonsense. Skippy is it? The dems aren’t burning or shooting people. That would be your russian right party that promotes 17 year olds with guns to shoot protesters.

  2. Can any news channel gets footage from Cameron Louisiana? That’s the town in Louisiana on the Gulf coast that would have suffered the worst storm surge and was hit 1st by the eye

  3. Don’t care about this because the Government doesn’t care about the almost 200,000 covid deaths. Sorry Texas.

    1. Please provide any details or links that the government does not care about the deaths from COVID-19. I am going to be meeting with our DNC next week and I would like to have some evidence if you could provide it. Any memos, emails or other insight information would be very helpful.

    2. Steve Young The problem with what? I can’t believe with all the stellar candidates we had in the primaries and the DNC gave us Joe with all his baggage. The problem is with Joe.

  4. Why wouldn’t they focus the camera on the dude speaking? I like lego as much as anyone, but what does lego have to do with the news

  5. Local people were ready to go at sunrise to make assessments. Thank goodness FEMA was also ready and in position. One Governor said they were getting federal help already.

  6. Well Texas remember what a incredible job we done down in Puerto Rico?? Now we can help you out with storm recovery but I need a favor

  7. I guess in the upcoming years, the temperature will rise too… (Just like these increasing levels of powerful hurricane- Laura which is ripping apart)

    Just like the Day and night ..
    We will experience those two too.

  8. Watching from UK ❤️ love the amusing fast talking dialogue sometimes you can labour the point somewhat

  9. If you know someone that you can help to register to vote, take to the polls, anything and everything we can do must be done. We can do this if we realize what is really at stake, how very serious this moment is and what it means for our futures. Please, lets do everything we can. BIDEN/HARRIS for America and the future!

    1. Never Again…whoever you are good luck from Canada..you are so right .Keep reaching out. When you control covid and eradicate the Whitehouse VIRUS come on over anytime ! Americans can do this.

    2. Wouldn’t it be interesting if there was a timeline of Trumps work? Such as shutting down the government twice under him, etc, etc. He is a monster. We must get him out.

  10. “Melanie is feeling and doing really well.

    “Thighland” Covfefe ”Nambia” ”Nipple” (Nepal) ”Button” (Bhutan) “Tanzaynia”
    “Diversary”
    “Ulucious” for Ulysses “Anomous”
    “Premedication”
    “Oar-ian” for Orion
    United “Shtatesh” ‘tolerited’ for tolerated ”Vestas” for Vedas
    oranges for origin
    and Yo Semite for Yosemite.

    Trump has to be told in 2018 that Ireland isn’t part of the U.K. ….

    In 2018, Trump didn’t know the difference between England and the United Kingdom, our closest ally.

    “And I met with the president of the Virgin Islands,” Trump added, seemingly unaware that the Virgin Islands is a US territory, making him their president.

    ”Belgium is a beautiful city”

    Trump trashes presidents of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia for breakup of Yugoslavia. All 3 countries (for Trumpturds) are no where near the Balkans or the former Yugoslavia.
    Trump thought Colorado bordered Mexico.

    “After I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries.”

    Trump: once told the prime minister of India, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” (India has a 2,520-mile border with China.)

  11. Beaumont is named for my family who settled that area. It is a surname of mine. As well as Beaufort, and Beauchamp.

  12. _ If ever we needed THE LORD  before-we sure do NEED HIM now.
    “FOCUS on GOD-and NOT your problems.”-(Dr. Charles Stanley sermon)

    (“PRAYERS destroy the enemies plans.”- (the late Pastor Stephen Darby sermon).

    GOD’S message to ALL believers IS /and herein lies our POWER:
    2 CHRONICLES 7:14:

    Then if MY people, who are called by MY NAME will Humble themselves, if they will PRAY and seek ME and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will HEAL/ RESTORE their land.

    (HE did it for the righteous kings in the OLD TESTAMENT.) (KJV  )
    HE can surely do it for us.

    GOD will BLESS those who bless you and curse those who curse you (HIS people.)
