  1. Maddie C is the ultimate joke. This is the most ridiculous thing yet, and that’s saying something.

    1. @Kyle211919 No ,not a troll but if he was of the opposite party of CNN they would have left him alone ..and you know it. HE;s gone ; hes defeated ; he has no more career; so they call it kicking a dead horse … think about it why do it … pleasure?? Pleasures for those who hate him…That,I dont understand.

    2. @American Patriot i tell u one thing if u loved America u wouldn’t be trying to overthrow its democracy to seat the loser in a presidental election. That is the exact opposite of what America is supposed to be.

  2. He’s gonna prove how infantile he really is……and why he shouldn’t have been a congressman in the first place.

  3. When you’re comparing members of your own party to “Dark Side of the Force”, maybe you have a problem.

    1. @Mendes Josr Yes! I saw that sketch. “Our pins are skulls. I think we might be a little… uh, evil?”

    2. @karin backstrom If it makes you feel better, I don’t think Trump will run again. I don’t think he wants to risk losing the popular vote three times in a row and the electoral college twice in a row. But, I do think a competent version of Trump has a good chance of winning the presidency, which is even more scary. At least with Trump he was too much of a moron to get his worst impulses passed. I am rooting for Finland and Sweden joining NATO!

  4. Can people in America stop complaining about everything being expensive? for God sakes everyone in the world is experiencing the same situation! stop blaming Biden 😤

    1. @Stella Blevins I think you might have replied to the wrong person, Stella. I do not in any way support tRump. Never.

  5. WTF has happened to our whole political system?? No values, focus ,consideration. Just tribes. They gotta go.

  6. Advocating civil war isn’t free speech, particularly from an ex president. Politicians should be held to a HIGHER standard. This kind of incendiary speech should put trump in prison where he can’t do any harm.

    1. @The Villain in Glasses 1) define fascism
      2) I’m not saying only I should vote, I’m saying we should make it a civic duty again, but we need to do it right. By handing ballots out to everyone, we’ll just be giving people who don’t want to vote and don’t care about the nation to decide our fates. We need to start young. Get the kids to want to participate. They’ll vote on their own. But basically forcing everyone to vote will only cause more problems. Just look at the problems we are facing now. This is the problem by making people who don’t care vote. This is why we need to teach kids to care for their community, and they’ll carry the torch that their parents should’ve held. I’m not saying only let certain people vote at all, I’m saying forcing it on people will cause problems

    1. @A T  Maybe more orange makeup darkens them? Might consider dark as meaning no heart and soul? 🇺🇲✌

  7. Yeh Republicans act like the don’t understand but they 100% know what he’s talking about. They want the same things.

  8. Madison Cawthorn never should have talked about all the Republican drug and sex parties he was invited to.

    1. I’m glad he pillowed talked. That’s the reason why he lost the election. Not for all of the other disgusting things he said and did on his own.

  9. I was sent a “survey” from Ronna McDaniel, claiming I was a republican supporter and WOW, just WOW. It makes any “push poll” look like a plea for girl scout cookies. She may not know what “dark maga is, but she sure do push the ideas.

    1. Check Your Status At The Department Of Elections. Some People Are Making Complaints That They Have Been Changed Especially In Florida.

    2. Breaking news, the Swedish Academy has met and will award the Noble prize in literature to either Kamala Harris or Karine Jean-Pierre. Nobel Prizes are awarded in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank funded the establishment of the Prize. Nobel Prizes are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards available in their respective fields.

      The prize ceremonies take place annually. Each recipient receives a gold medal, a diploma, and a monetary award. In 2021, the Nobel Prize monetary award is $10,000,000,000,000.

      We are fortunate to now have two very smart democrat black women competing for the Nobel prize in literature.

      Kamala Harris is a possible winner after these wise words were spoken: “We will work together, and will continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together…We will work on this together.” On another occassion our extinguished vice president stated: “For Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way its impact has been the pandemic…we will assist Jamaica in Covid recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential.”

      Competing with Kamala Harris is Karine Jean-Pierre, a black lesbian woman, who spoke these brilliant words when asked how raising corporate income taxes reduces inflation: “Well, you know, we have talked about…we have talked about this this past year about making sure that the wealthiest among us are paying their fair share,” she continued. “And that is important to do. This is something that the president has worked on everyday when talking about inflation or lowering costs. And so it’s very important that, you know, as we’re seeing costs rise, as we’re talking about how to, you know, build an America that’s safe, that’s equal for everyone and doesn’t leave anyone behind. That is an important part of that as well.” Then she added: “So, look, I think we encourage those who have done very well, right? People who are concerned about climate change should support fairer tax codes. That doesn’t change. It doesn’t charge manufacturers, workers, cops, builders a higher percentage of their earnings that the most fortunate people in our nation and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting this existential problem, if you think about that as an example. It is important to protect basic collective bargaining rights. That’s also important. But look, it is, you know, by not without having a fair tax code, which is what I’m talking about, then like manufacturing workers, cops. You know, it’s not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks that who are who are who are not paying taxes at all.”

  10. As a lifelong Republican until Donald Trump oh, I can tell you that Madison cawthorn doesn’t have a leg to stand on and he is the epitome of what’s wrong with our governing body today!

    1. @The Blade Oh my yes from one who works with the former bosses granddaughter who moves like she is entitled and I guess she is

  11. I don’t live in the US and I heard that people blame the POTUS for high gas prices. Let me point out that gas prices has jumped here. I’m paying over $6 per gallon here in Japan and there are oil sanctions on Russia here too. 100% Russian oil imports have been cut. I don’t care for politics but I must say I blame the oil companies, not government. You guys in America are lucky if your paying $4 gallon. Especially when your average wage is higher than here.

    1. @Robin Gray haven’t seen $5-6/gallon in my state, though. Gas in Cali is always higher then everywhere else. bad example.

    2. Yes and Thank you. Here in Connecticut USA the average price for regular gas is around $4.50 a gallon. Our state government eliminated the gas tax for on gas for a month now and with that it would have been close to $5.00 a gallon. Yet the gas companies are making a bigger profit as the demand has gotten greater.

  12. “We need to focus on the Democrats.”
    No, you need to focus on your CONSTITUENTS and the COUNTRY. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    1. as a Democrat I really don’t think we need be focusing on Democrats anymore. they’ve had enough of that. I wish people weren’t so invested in either side really. it’ll be a thousand years before we reach a Utopian society.

    1. @Jo Sm Fascism has no standard textbook definition, but the examples in history have been characterized by a marriage of big business (not a lib thing), big military (also not a lib thing) and a draconian adherence to law and order (still not feelin “libs” here).

    2. @Jo Sm Nationalizing healthcare was a popular movement all over Europe at the time, fascist and Allied countries alike, mostly in response to the 1918 – 1922 pandemic. The Nazis didn’t nationalize industries. BMW, Mercedes, all the big German companies were private. Didn’t you watch Schindler’s List? He worked closely with the government, but he was still in business for himself.

    3. You are right. It’s not funny. But what’s funny is that when the hunter gets hunted who does he think is going to risk their lives on that side to lift his wheel chair so he can also get away with them. He will be thrown to the wolves. And that’s funny.

  13. The guy has been making serious violent threats for a very long time and yet still everyone treats it like a joke.

    1. @Leslie Propheter I imagine a lot of people thought that way because that was the excuse used for every single “gaffe” that the man made.

      “Oh, he’s just joking”; “He’s just trolling the libs”; “C’mon, it was SARCASTIC”; “No one would actually say that out loud if it weren’t a joke”.

      That way of thinking has led us to this situation – it’s a slippery slope that will take decades for the U.S. to climb back up from.

  14. She knows EXACTLY what he means. She just won’t acknowledge that she knows what he means.

  15. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if instead of “We need to focus on the Democrats”, she said “We need to focus on working with the Democrats to steer this country in a way that will be better for everyone.”

    1. You are right Rabbid. The only thing the GOP wants to do is fight, fight, and more fight. They have nothing better to do. Wouldn’t it be nice to come together and focus on the American people? There would be less anger.

    2. @Boris Sheen I mean the Democratic Party is a big tent party, so that’s not too weird. Don’t get me a wrong as a leftist it can be frustrating and I wish we could have our own party, but at this point we don’t have a choice but to all work together as a big tent, and Joe Biden is far from the worst of the centrists, at least currently, he’s shown some willingness to compromise with progressives.

    3. @Esme n’haMaire that would mean they would have to actually have policies and actually govern instead of constantly opposing the other side.

  16. It’s not a joke. We need to take this seriously because there’s a lot of Trumpers who follow these crazies.

  17. A rational critically thinking citizen here that three years ago, after being a Republican for forty years, left the party because of what it had become. America is in trouble. Enough said.

    1. @rjd3wine I live in a retirement community and am surprised at how many “old timers” both Male and female, who left the party. Take care.

    2. I’ve been an independent for over 20 years and registered for Democrat during Frat boys confirmation hearing (what frat boy doesnt know what a devils triangle is 🙄) I vowed to stay Dem until maga is gone.
