  1. “FEAR!”, Is the word I’m tired of hearing as an American regarding the REPUBLICAN’S! Get over it and start taking care of the American people who pay you out of tax dollars to do so! Our sacrifices as Americans are becoming absolutely intolerable and we have already sacrificed SO MUCH!

    1. @Maharajji NKB Oh please. They are all saying projected winner just like they did with Trump. My point was did you say the same for him back in 2016? And again, you deflect from the facts or holding Senate Republicans accountable. The Dem run states you speak of are part od America, part of the future Republic. As for SCOTUS, no it was not critically important. According to Lindsey Graham AND Mitch McConnell, SCOTUS picks could wait till a new President was elected, specially if the primaries had started. https://redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2020/09/19/will-lindsay-graham-eat-his-own-words-about-no-scotus-nominee-in-final-year-of-trump-term-n254799

      But oh wait – you are going to cry fake news on the above, right?

    2. @Maharajji NKB I release they have an agenda! However, the greediness is so strong they don’t care about the people who pay them! Does that make sense?

    3. @D M Georgia can unseat him as majority leader – we’re looking ahead and not in the rearview mirror! We NEED to win these two seats and it is imperative! So we need to ENCOURAGE people to get back out there and vote like never before in GA!!!๐Ÿ’ฏ
      Greg Palis reported many challenges to signatures and discards of mail in votes by Democrats in KY. So, yeah, there was that if you needed an explanation.

    4. @mary jones appreciate all your efforts . Do you figure that’s why he’s so unattractive ? Because he’s rotten from the inside out ?

  2. The slogan “Flush The Turd, November 3rd” takes on an ironic meaning. Sometimes you flush, but the turd just keeps bobbing around the surface.

  3. You cannot use facts, data, and logic when debating todayโ€™s Republicans, which means there is no negotiating with those people.

    1. @Mike Cash Funny how there’s a whole youtube channel called Republican Voters Against Trump but i’m sure you will buy into more conspiracy theories like they are just some actors or something. “rolls eyes” I honestly feel sorry for you and recommend doing some research and stop living in a bubble. You at this point are delusional thinking Trump won. He didn’t. I hope you have a great day and best wishes to. I have nothing more to say to someone who refuses to listen and clearly just wants to insult democrats.

    2. @James Ricker He is going to put Republicans in concentration camps, I mean this is what the Nazi democrats want.

  4. Moscow Mitch and his wife are corrupt and disgraceful… the GOP share Trump’s legal liability for covid19 injuries and deaths

    1. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃa dem calling a republican currupt ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃmore projection from the left pushing their crimes on everyone else and then lieing about it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸคšI solemnly swear to be the worst person in the world and lie cheat steal and bribe people and plot and scheme and blame it on someone else and solemnly do swear not on a Bible but on nothing at all because truth means nothing to me, that I will never tell the truth, and only my truth or whoever has paid me the most that days truth and I have no honor and I’m a racist but also solemnly swear to do what ever I have to do by any means necessary to fulfill my agenda that day and have no morals or cares but my own gain and my comrades gains and just want to see everyone else burn-said every dem ever, with out saying it, but will deny saying it..and then if you do what we do we will criticize you to the max and forget everything we have ever said or done …just a bunch of narrcists and brainwashed cheaters on the left side and very very unstable people, because they have all been gaslighted and just waiting for a match to get thrown…..

    2. Nazi democrats, so when are you going to start killing conservatives? When are you starting the concentration camps?

    3. @Gigi Ivy lol… funny, all the neo-NAZIs, white supremecists, murdering white nationalists, the MAGA bomber, etc… are all on your side, Trump supporters…

  5. Senate rules allow one person-McConnell- to control the whole US government. Thatโ€™s crazy. Nothing in the Constitution gives one person such power. A Presidentโ€™s veto can be overruled. Why not decisions by Hoover Dam Mitch?

    1. @Gabriel Chambers LOL, how old is he then? 84? Good luck with that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. It’s like in the Soviet Union. They stick to their seats until they fall off dead.

    2. @Gabriel Chambers Mitch top welfare Kentucky queen yep and coal is Mitch failure so keep on its actually funny but his Chinese wife shipping company in China to the USA with bailout ten dollars any ting you want everythig every ting

    1. @Separate Realities Pence is not the mild mannered man he seems to be. He is further right than Trump, and despite his “religiosity,” he is and has consistently been a liar. He testified under oath to Congress that nicotine n.v e

    2. Nicotine was not addictive. It is. He refused to sign legislation helping AIDS patients because he disapproved of their lifestyle. Many heterosexual people died of AIDS. It was not up to him to pass judgment. There is supposed to be a separation between church and state. He therefore violated one of the core principles of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers who escaped to this country to free themselves of religious persecution. His wife discriminates as well since she won’t teach at a school that allows all people to get an education, just schools that follow her religios beliefs. Throughout history, there has been violence and persecution in the name of religion. The Trump administration has discriminated against Muslims, and l truly believe Pence supported this we with all his religious heart. He is a disgrace just like Trump, just not as flamboyant.

    3. Trump will keep stooping to all new and dangerous lows to hold onto power, even if it means wreaking havoc with our national security. This puts ALL American lives at risk, including the lives of trump’s own followers.

      *PLEASE call, write, and/or email* your Republican Senators & House representatives to demand that they grow a spine for once and take a stand against trump’s dangerous & destructive behavior.
      To contact your Senators & House reps, go to: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials
      Tell his Republican lackeys in Congress to stop enabling trump at all costs to the country, and demand that they publicly acknowledge President Elect Joe Biden’s win.
      Let them know that their constituents are tired of the partisan games, and they’d rather see the bipartisan cooperation that Biden called for in his acceptance speech.
      ======
      There’s no evidence of the voter fraud that trump and his keyboard warriors claim. If anyone posts such a claim, ask them to cite a _valid_ source to back it up.
      If any voter fraud is ultimately found, it’ll probably be by those who were instructed by trump to cheat and vote twice for him (both on mail-in/absentee ballots, then in-person)

    4. @Nancy M. Ross ๐Ÿ‘ You are absolutely right. Ppl should be careful what they wish for. Pence barely escaped being investigated himself four yrs ago in IN! Google gov mike pence & see for yourself. Ppl there couldn’t stand him!

  6. Come on Georgia time to flip the Senate. Misinformation Mitch has controlled the Senate for years and look how that’s worked out for millions of people. Gridlock. 350 bills including the Heroes Act, the Bipartisan for the people act to protect our elections, lower prescription prices have all died in McConnell’s Senate graveyard.

    1. Mitch McConnell is not going to let anything pass unless he and his wife can put it there pockets Kentucky I didn’t think that y’all were that weak to put corrupted mitch McConnell back in office so y’all was lying about getting rid of him mitch McConnell need to go just like trump so the United states can move forward and better we are not going anywhere with mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi

    2. @Tom F. get a new line tRump troll….you keep using the same one…btw….the “people” DID elect the new president…President Elect Joe Biden…tRump lost…get over it…just like democrats had to when Clinton lost in 2016…btw tRump troll…she conceded the next day….FACT…..

    1. @Scarlet Holly Stalinโ€™s wasnโ€™t actually his real name, he changed it because Stalin means bear in Russian.

  7. Come on Georgians render McConnell powerless and elect Osoff and Rev. Warnock and please help flip the Senate we Americans need covid relief…..some are STARVING!!

    1. @Donnie TRUMP hey two thumbs don’t count as fingers you should know having three crooked toes bone spears chicken foot it and it’s going to take a while to get the scratches off the white house floor

    2. @Donnie TRUMP Mitch top welfare Kentucky is why but old Mitch is going to have issues coal by by and his Chinese wife shipping company in China to USA bailouts

    3. @T Boogz Mich is lickin his chops with peanut butter and I have some republicans Corp business boots that need spitshine so tell Mitch get his shoebox do I amuse you

    1. You don’t know who Obama is then Obama is simply a longtime Bush family friend Barry sedoro Lolo sutoro’s adopted son Lolo sotoro was George Bush senior’s go to oil Man in Indonesia period good riddance to the two family dictatorship of bush Clinton and their puppet Obama

    2. Yes. That was authoritarian behavior. It allowed Trump to walk into their party. They care more for their senate power than the good of the country. That should be condemned. Welcoming them back is just pretending they have any moral equivalence to democrats, and their behavior goes without consequence.

    3. @shantalynn yes. It’s all about power. They only stand to gain either way. Im afraid Biden and the Dems are naive. But idk what Biden knows.

    1. Democrats care nothing about our Republic. Dems care about power only.Like Obama,Biden will put America back into the ditch. No jobs,middle class income will go back down,illegal immigration will go back up,we’ll once again be the worlds doormat,and we’ll lose our energy independance.Wouldn’t be surprized to see a resurgence of ISIS. When Trump loses America loses.

  8. The key is to focus all energy to the Georgia Senate race. Otherwise McConnell will create a stalemate for two years and then blame Biden for it. Let’s go Georgia!!

    1. @Erica Saunders amazing!! Me too – be sure to reach out to every Georgian you know to show up and vote. We can’t be complacent. Let’s flip the Senate blue! ๐Ÿ’ฏ

  9. Republican Senators : we win the election fair and square but Biden Votes are Shady.
    Media : but you were on the same Ballot as Biden.
    Republican Senators : well.. yes…Look over there. A squirrel.

    1. @Mark G except I usually base it off facts, like I said, trump couldnโ€™t even get a stimulus bill through without using an executive order, then people called it unpresidential.

    1. It doesn’t make sense because it isn’t true. They just want to maintain senate power at all costs. It’s disgusting.

  10. MITCH mcconnell is worried about his power, Georgia give him a back seat. GOP PARTY needs to get there act together, put them in time out. So corrupt.
