@Sally Williams They both are horrible candidates, but Biden makes Trump look like Albert Einstein
@Eric Cartman we voted out a moron by seven million votes. Trump got trounced.
@Eric Cartman didn’t realize Albert had a criminal mind
only a hillbilly would think Trump is like Albert Einstein
@Multisymptomrelief Wow you’re really moron enough to not understand what I meant by what I said and to take it literally. Typical Biden supporter.
This is the best the Republicans can do these days? If Lincoln is looking down, he must be wondering what the hell happened to his party…. 🤨

@Families matter “Said the party that gave us Joe Biden”
90% of pre-COVID jobs recovered and 12 million new jobs created.
Jobless claims are the lowest since 1969.
The U.S. economy grew by 6.9% in 2021, best since since 1984
Unemployment rate of 3.4%; under Donald Trump, unemployment was 6.3%.
Fed Chair Powell said economic growth needs to be slowed down.
“Americans pockets are flush with cash”. “Americans have more money in their pockets today than any time in history”.- Fed Chair Powell
Biden signed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package that passed with 13
Republicans who voted with the Democrats in favor of the bill.
Biden put in place a $20 billion vaccination program to fight COVID. While 1% of the U.S.
population was vaccinated when Biden came into office, 74% of Americans – 249 million
Americans – have received at least one vaccine dose.
Biden expanded access to affordable health care for five million Americans.
Farmers are off of Trump welfare with more orders than they can fill.
Manufacturing is roaring back. Trump had it at a decades low before COVID hit.
Bipartisan Chips Act passed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to America.
Inflation reduction act.
NATO is now stronger than ever.
You are stupid, full stop.
It wasn’t actually the confederate flag on their state flag, it was the confederate army battle flag.
Just don’t forget who launched the Confederate Rebellion and Why. SC, the root of it all.
@Lawn Chair
S.C democrats to be more accurate.

@Freedom Loving Loyalist
Funny thing is, 99.9% of people wouldn’t have a clue.
There was several confederate battle flags. The confederate flag isn’t one of them.
The dance that the GOP plays with groups like this really illuminates their lack of principle.
@Eduardo Oliveira Eddie if that is your real name and you are not a fat guy who cannot get satisfied by a pint of vodka get the vote out. They actually are going to criminalize being against open borders.
@Eduardo Oliveira I am basically organizing his reelection but Trump is not a moron he is a billionaire. He played his cards at the right time.
@Serena Kane Trump 2024 “Save America”
TUCKER CARLSON SENT A TEXT MESSAGE CALLING DONALD TRUMP A MORON AND I’M WITH TUCKER ON THIS ONE
@Serena Kane
CONGRAGULATION’S YOU ARE NOW CNN’S TOP 24/7 VIEWER AND COMMENT POSTER. DO YOU HAVE CNN NOTIFICATION’S ON?
The confederacy only lasted 5 years, the fact people try to make it out to be a culture or heritage is nonsense.
There are various different southern cultures and heritages that can be celebrated and recognized, it’s actually insulting that people on the right reduce to that 5 year period and don’t care about anything else.
@Tim othy Read the secession letters explaining why they were leaving. Slavery is why, not states rights.
Also, you can think of states rights as right to go against the federal government. Northern states were exercising these rights by not returning escaped slaves under the fugitive slave law. The south wanted it enforced, so a better argument can be made that the confederacy was actually anti states rights.
New Orleans. Five different flags. Read some history.
@Tim othy I’m so sick of states’ rights. I want to live in a country, not a collection of loosely connected fiefdoms and kingdoms.
I have clothing that has lasted longer than the confederacy did. Tradition, indeed.
It’s basically people just saying the “n” word, but in flag form.
Haley probably has an allergic reaction to “decency”.
Would make a great democrat then.
@Blake The great one this isn’t lunchtime at the kindergarten Blake
Heels in the air Haley will do anything or anyone to be vice president, even Donald Trump.
@William Royerstolen from Harris.
Slavery is usually racist because one group feels superior to another and decides that they are subhuman and therefore it’s acceptable to use them for labor or other immoral gratification. The Confederate States were openly committed to the institution of Slavery, insofar as they explicitly stated it in their Constitution. The flag is a symbol of the State, making it a symbol of racism to African-Americans whose ancestors were kidnapped and subjected to the inhumanity of that institution for several hundred years, along with other overtly racist hatreds.
Well stated
@E’Judah Israel No single living person in the United States has experienced that kind of treatment. Hell, nobody livings GRANDPARENTS experienced that kind of treatment.
@Herlander Carvalho The vikings practiced slavery, the huns practiced slavery, the romans practiced slavery, the teutons practiced slavery, the celts practiced slavery, every native tribe in the americas practiced slavery, the mongols practiced slavery, the persians practiced slavery, the greeks practiced slavery. Must I go on?
Kidnapped 😂. You mean criminals sold by their own people to over 75 countries around the world for manual labor. Slavery has nothing to do with race. Which is why every race has been enslaved at some point in time. Liberal logic would lead you to believe all slaves are black and all slave owners are white. Interesting you didn’t mention the first slave owner being black, Irish immigrants being enslaved, Chinese rail workers(slaves) etc
@Herlander Carvalho 😂 maybe you should look up where the word slave comes from.
Haley doesn’t actually believe in anything. She just goes with whatever a rich or influential supporter wants.
@Hjc Ceril Now that is the most intelligent reply I have heard in quit a while. How long did it take you to come up with that one—ROFLMAO
Don’t forget the democratic party was founded by kkk members lol
@Reaper That feeble olde man still 1000x better than The Caligula Conman. No kneeling in Helsinki to Putey for him. No bleach; no flushes. It must burn.
tax cut for the rich that it.
So… You’re saying she’s a politician. Got it.
I keep saying civics has to be taken in high school and mandatory for all politicians running for public office, especially when they all want to remind us of their rights, without knowing the constitution and to which right they speak of.
Where was Megyn Kelly?
Lauren boebert had to try twice for a G.E.D…surprised? 🤣
I hope you never tire of saying it – somebody has to!
FIRE 🔥 Don Lemonhead 🍋. WTF is wrong with you creeps at CNN?
Democrats need more candidates so they have they’re own people to pick on. Well never mind they voted for Biden.
Those who forget history will repeat history.
The democrat party was founded by the kkk. That’s your history lesson. Let’s cancel the democrats then….
@babadook Dam straight!
If you leave out that many southern states listed slavery as their reason for rebelling, if you look over the violence post civil war, ignore Jim Crowe, the. Yeah she’s right, but that’s a lot of “overlooking”.
It suited her to kiss up to those who believe rebelling in the name of slaves is a tradition, just as it’s benefiting her to be all “look what I did! I took down the battle flag of the confederacy “. She doesn’t care, what ever stance helps her get elected she will take.
Aren’t the Republicans supposed to be the ones _against_ the confederacy?
Lincoln is like “what the hell, man??!!”
It’s the name change thing that screws up the thinking.
@Chris Kane Name change how?
That was in another age and another time when politicians had a little more integrity which was FAR more than now.
Conservatives still oppose the Confederacy, which now calls itself DNC.
It’s unbelievable that someone with her obvious Background would say something like she did,
Their traditions hmmm,
Aren’t those partly about suppressing certain people of colour and different cultures?
And she’s trying to defend that?
It’s disgusting
It is so sad when Integrity takes a back seat to ambition. This appears to be the cornerstone of today’s Republican Party.
Name a single democrat with anything resembling integrity.
You seriously going to pretend that isn’t 99% of politicians? Regardless of political affiliation. You can’t be that delusional.
Sedition is not a “tradition”…that’s what the Confederate flag represents.
Most of the people I know who still show the flag really don’t know much about the background beyond location and simplified historic value leaning more towards legend and myth. In this particular demographic the confederacy has the same allure as a green shirt on St.Patrick’s Day or rabbits with colored eggs on Easter. They know it represents something larger, but they really don’t know what. Even simpler, it is a concert shirt of a band you only like for one or two songs. Like many things in America, we are given a choice to investigate further into whatever we do and why we do it, but as usual, most just take the subject or action at face value.
Every body know about Pilgrims and Tidewater Aristocrats..but how many know the Origin Story of South Carolina? And Barbados
She says what ever you want to hear, a second later she’ll say vice versa. Anything to get power and easy taxpayer pay check.
