    1. @leroy brown I dare you to define communist, stupid, cult or msnbc. You are just a lobotomized Trumpanzee.

    2. @Greg Exelby That woman’s video was debunked awhile ago. That’s the problem, when people who have zero scientific background try to jump into something as complex as virology without even the basic understanding of simple biology things get misunderstood and then spread like wildfire throughout the internet causing fear and confusion.

    3. can rebelling against your own best interests be called rebellion? or insanity? american fascists have been “rebelling” against sanity now for over 40 years! trump and covid-19 are just the latest examples of this.
      wearing a mask is “a VERY small request” indeed. its time now NOT to make it a request but a REQUIREMENT! people who refuse to wear masks belong in jail. public endangerment and simple violation of ANY law are still arrestable offenses in this country aren’t they?
      i’m so damned tired of small factions in this country taking over everything and getting everything they want. i’m tired of the govt claiming there’s nothing more they can do. enforce the damned laws. that’s what you can do. stop buckling under to gangs of armed, fascist thugs threatening and intimating our public officials and refusing to obey the laws!

    4. This cannot be forgotten, this system forced me to choose between Clinton Trump. I went against everything I stand for, I can’t clearly answer myself as to why I did it. By 2/16 I was done with Trump ,I did all I could, to rid us of him. Mine was the only home on the block not bathing in Trump flags, these people are out there. There is no olive branch, these are TOXIC people that need to be defeated and remembered, integration is how they spread their disease. Just like the KKK, exposed and beaten, they hang the sheet for the badge. This is so deep and complex, it needs to ne handled by the smartest people on this planet, Trump needs to be made an EXAMPLE OF, he needs harsh severe punishment, I used to laugh when a lefty would shout “nazi” to a conservative. The similarities are now blinding.

    1. My condolences for your personal loss.

      I’m not American and although I wouldn’t vote republican if I were, i am convinced your democracy and the Democrats/Biden needs an opposing party to function properly.

      You are not the only one, you are with many out there. And it is urgent that former republicans that don’t feel at home anymore in their party form a new party that offers shelter for millions of former republican that still believe in democracy and the rule of law. Take back your political heritage and moral high ground from that orange clown.

    2. This is what happens when you have no national leader. These people are trying to save lives and they are being threatened by tRumps nut case followers.

    3. @Sophia Petersen Sophia, I found it hard to follow your comment. What did you mean to say here: “You think if it’s political to not to wear masks and most republicans don’t remarks lander Democrats should be fine,” Thanks.

    1. KAG. Lol! Only a moron would fall for that one. Sure seems to be a whole lot of morons out there though. 5 weeks, only 5 weeks to go. Those 5 weeks will fly by like 5 minutes. Then it’s time to haul the piece of excrement back to NY and hand him his just deserts!

    2. the GOP is purging its party of EVERYONE and ANYONE of any integrity, responsibility and respect for the law. MORE republicans have been driven from their party or the govt under trump than at any other time. and the GOP politicians DON’T stand up! their party is disintegrating into fascist extremism, loyalty tests, delusion and paranoia thanks to trump and they don’t care. the one’s that are left just keep groveling at trump’s feet NO MATTER WHAT!
      and i wouldn’t care EXCEPT their taking MY country down with them! is outlawing the GOP, like the germans outlawed the nazi’s after ww2, our only chance of surviving THIS INSANITY?

  1. Masks are not political 🙄 not wearing a mask is another one of Trumps celebration of ignorance for him and his cult members. Pathetic and disgusting 😒

    1. @T.J. One poor soul had to have his leg amputated from COVID. How many others have permanent damage, but aren’t dead?

    2. @Bob Davidson Re: “97 percent survival rate. Oh the fear.” If everyone took the proper precautions, the survival rate would be 100%.

    1. @Mal C you’re right, of cours2e. I was born in Wichita KS 79 yrs ago. Went
      thru 12 yrs of school, three
      semesters at Ft Hayes State before joining US Naval Air at 19 yrs. I went
      back to visit 10 yrs later and
      found to my great & sad
      disappointment that nothing
      NOTHING in”smalltown
      Midwest Republican America
      had changed. Still had on the
      “blinders”, still refused to
      “move on with the times”.
      Even on visits in later years, still no change in
      attitude. And it isn’t just
      my generation! It’s the
      next two, even three. It’s
      really sad, really heart braking! Thankfully some
      who have left to “go out
      in the world”, & returned to
      bring Hope, knowledge and
      Change in attitudes for the better! But not me. It made
      me too angry, frustrated,
      heartsick! Never went
      back. Retired in Tucson. It’s
      Paradise! And a friendly mix
      of Dems, Reps & healthy Idependents/Liberals in the
      southern part of Arizona!

    1. It is much worse and more deliberate than “lack of leadership” from Trump……he has consciously and deliberately sowed the seeds of negativity, chaos, anarchy, bullying, aggression and cult worship therefore this type of reaction is not only a consequence but a desired effect

    2. @Supreme Court USA asking someone to wear a mask is not having someone rule over you…..people in our country have no idea what it’s like to live in a place where you have absolutely no choice about anything….we live in a country where we have been so spoiled and entitled….and Trump is the one who has taken the voice away from the people and is still trying to take over government any way he can….If we would have had a real leader from the start of this pandemic problems like this would be happening like they are…he has encouraged people to be as brazen about their hate as he is

    3. @meghnac78 first off climate change is not real and if it was I’m sure over 50% of our state’s would like it to be a lot warmer. And with a wall you won’t need immigration policy because there won’t be any illegal immigrants and ObamaCare is a disaster we are far more better without it regardless of what is there to replace it.

    4. No it’s people being ignorant and not able to think with any common sense, and it is a very, very! Sad situation

    1. Bring on that Civil War, it will be amusing to see how many leftist actually are still standing. But hey it would still help Agenda 21 wouldn’t it.

    2. There is little bring done. To me the #FBI and relevant Federal agencies that should find these criminals. After the inaction of the Ahmad Arbury case in Georgia, local law in forcement is sometimes “in bed” with these criminals and that’s why this virus won’t be dealt with. Yes this is a crime and isn’t political but a crime. #Dodgecity needs to address this. This is an easy lesson to teach. There are cyber tracing tools. These crimes are cowards hiding behind a keyboard.

    3. @Ndi Mec so if you feel this way it goes both ways correct? BLM and antifa and leftist that acted violently against little kids, women and old people should to be tried just the same, correct? An act of violence none-the-less is an act of violence right? What about right-leaning politicians that were threatened and attacked?

    1. @Janet Clough Let me guess you think Quid Pro Quo Joe actually won lol. You think that President Trump is a Russian agent lol Who’s crazy now 😆

    2. the GOP is purging its party of EVERYONE and ANYONE of any integrity, responsibility and respect for the law. MORE republicans have been driven from their party or the govt under trump than at any other time. and the GOP politicians DON’T stand up! their party is disintegrating into fascist extremism, loyalty tests, delusion and paranoia thanks to trump and they don’t care. the one’s that are left just keep groveling at trump’s feet NO MATTER WHAT!
      and i wouldn’t care EXCEPT their taking MY country down with them! is outlawing the GOP, like the germans outlawed the nazi’s after ww2, our only chance of surviving THIS INSANITY?

    3. Well trained little demopoodle.

      Sit.
      Stay.
      Beg.
      Roll over.

      Gooooood boy.

    1. @I’m only here for the comment section Lol you guys are not very smart.. he really didn’t say anything 😂😂

      I’ll admit it took me a minute..

    1. @whiteAfrican nun Provide links to any proof of mayors or other elected officials who resigned and specifically said it was because BLM and Antifa were threatening them and their families. This is the 3rd Republican official in a week to leave the GOP and become Indys because of threats against them and their families from Dump’s cult of deplorables.

    1. @Drake Fire and yes this headline calls it coursed but that is only so youtube does not pull it down.
      Watch it and make your own mind up.

    2. @Will Peyton You do realize all you’ve done is disproved your point, right?

      I’m guessing you haven’t done any watching or reading.

      Of course, using your own mind is too much. That’s why you trust the man who decided to stand by as 300 thousand Americans died.

    3. @Drake Fire first of all.
      I cant help but to notice that you are conciding our previous debate by changing the subject.
      Second of all. no one stood by and let anyone die. Covid has killed people all over the world. Who stood by and let the other million+ people around the world die from covid.
      You do realize that the experts told us that 2 million americans would be dead by now. Can you remember back to the flatten the curve days.
      So the experts were either completely wrong or some one did something.
      Anyone trying to hang all US covid deaths on trump is pathetic and disgusting.
      If you want to say trump could have done a better job and say that the number could be lower, then you would be connected to reality.
      That’s a conversation worth having.
      What you are currently spouting is a complete fantasy dreamed up by people that want you to hate the guy that was ending wars and signing peace deals.
      👏👏👏👏
      Good work.
      You are currently spouting nonsense to support the warmongers.
      Pathetic.

    4. @Will Peyton Firstly, given how your “source” disproves your point. Oh, right, it’s almost like I linked a source, included in your search, that proved you wrong. But please, keep ignoring it.

      Secondly.

      https://www.npr.org/2020/09/10/911368698/trump-tells-woodward-he-deliberately-downplayed-coronavirus-threat

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7_vdlq6jik&ab_channel=TODAY

      Reality continues to be against you. Trump outright admitted to knowing that Covid was much more dangerous than he let the American public believe.

      Of course, it’s almost like they wanted American infected.

      https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/16/trump-appointee-demanded-herd-immunity-strategy-446408

    1. I think any time a public official’s life is threatened the state and federal authorities should be called in. This is pure reich wing intimidation from Michigan, Wisconsin, and now here. It is high time for the FBI to get involved

    2. Isn’t it time to hold China accountable for letting this loose on the world. Their carelessness and refusal to be truthful has cost many lives

    1. can rebelling against your own best interests be called rebellion? or insanity? american fascists have been “rebelling” against sanity now for over 40 years! trump and covid-19 are just the latest examples of this.
      wearing a mask is “a VERY small request” indeed. its time now NOT to make it a request but a REQUIREMENT! people who refuse to wear masks belong in jail. public endangerment and simple violation of ANY law are still arrestable offenses in this country aren’t they?
      i’m so damned tired of small factions in this country taking over everything and getting everything they want. i’m tired of the govt claiming there’s nothing more they can do. enforce the damned laws. that’s what you can do. stop buckling under to gangs of armed, fascist thugs threatening and intimating our public officials and refusing to obey the laws!

    2. @Andiamo10 Andiamo I know, right? All those surgeons, ICU docs and nurses, anesthesiologists, dentists, infectious disease doctors wear masks on a regular basis just as an accessory. They don’t work at all. They do it just to look official and as a fashion statement. Let’s tell them not to wear masks at all. What’s the point? They don’t work, right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

    3. @Leather Guru … you know what’s even funnier? and much more dangerous? idiots who worship an ex-game-show-host and life-long conman as the SAVIOR OF HUMANITY! you guys are sicker than crap!

    1. those people supporting Trump for the wrong reason, going to wake up one day and find martial law at their door!!

    2. the GOP is purging its party of EVERYONE and ANYONE of any integrity, responsibility and respect for the law. MORE republicans have been driven from their party or the govt under trump than at any other time. and the GOP politicians DON’T stand up! their party is disintegrating into fascist extremism, loyalty tests, delusion and paranoia thanks to trump and they don’t care. the one’s that are left just keep groveling at trump’s feet NO MATTER WHAT!
      and i wouldn’t care EXCEPT their taking MY country down with them! is outlawing the GOP, like the germans outlawed the nazi’s after ww2, our only chance of surviving THIS INSANITY?

    1. @Αγape guess what? It isn’t over yet- it’s just beginning to ramp up- you just may get a taste of it yet! 🤷‍♀️a mask is going to look pretty good when you have to go onto a respirator. Vaccines won’t be available to most of the general public until at least summer- lots of people that thought that they had a healthy immune system are now dead.

    2. @Elaine Burnett excellent point! It’s against the law to threaten anybody. Throw the book at these a$&holes!

    3. Elaine- what are you talking about criminals. No I don’t like the looters and rioters if that’s what you are talking about. I love this country why would I go to a communist country. I’m not even a republican for goodness sakes.

    4. @Kate Miller I fought in 2 wars for this country, a country that people like you are turning into crap because You’re too stupid to know what is best for it. I don’t like it, but I’m not going anywhere, I’m gonna fight in what looks like my third war, against traitors such as yourself who have the ovaries to tell real Americans they can turn their backs on this country and just leave. That’s not how Americans do things, we will take the fight to your doorstep.

  2. This is truly sad. The fact that people would issue threats of physical harm because they do not want to wear a mask is appalling.
