  1. Bunker boy will take credit for anything, that have nothing to do with him.
    The SOB is a pathological liar

    1. @William H ” I don’t even like to talk about that, because it’s fading away. It’s going to fade away.”
      Ten states saw a record number of coronavirus cases this week. Twenty three states are seeing their number of cases go up.

    2. @Margaret Nicol Holiday TV specials include “Frosty the Orange Man” “How the Grinch Stole America” and “White Christmas”! lol! #staysafe

    3. @Crystal Giddens so much is made up every day, just listen to that Orange Maniac in our White house, ever day he says stuff that he just makes up.

    4. @GoT fan 2320 Well of course he is. The Chosen One prophecy was an ancient prophecy which foresaw the coming of a great vampire leader. Box ticked? Sucked the life out of the US.

    1. @spaxxed that was already in the works. Donald DUMP has been killing himself. Until the election real change won’t happen. Look police still killing. It being recognized though…. My slogan… NO DO OVERS

    2. @Thr33D3vil CLEVER! All you lefties are so predictably clever. I’m being sarcastic you know, marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt?

  2. Juneteenth is a bitter day. It’s a day to remember just how hateful people were. It was the day a General had to come down to Galveston Texas to inform slaves you are free. The news was shared this way because all attempts prior were stopped- even by way of murder. It’s a day to remember where we were and how far we have come from that.

  3. Juneteenth should be remembered for what it was and to make sure that sort of thing never happens again by dealing with inequity and racial issues effectively and justly.

    1. No. But you don’t want any kind of slavery whether it was then or now. Should never happen. And yes, there is still racism that occurs now unbelievably so you have to nip it in the bud and call it out as it happens.

    2. The best way to do this is build an identity and personality that isn’t only about race, be human first, and gtf over the past. You didn’t suffer those things.

    1. @spaxxed We’ll all be too busy setting up a new progressive party which will kick both Reps and Dems and their money out of politics.

    1. It’s called history and you can find it in books, history books and by ignoring the past you can’t understand the present, let alone have a decent future

  4. Well, Body Bag President, It will be remembered through out History. The stacks and stacks of dead bodies. The Red States will experience the Body bags piling up! Sorry, for your loses! Go to his rallies, there is no virus! Donny says So!

    1. @spaxxed

      you are intoxicated with STUPIDITY
      Remember too take your bleach before you attended the Lying Toddler In Chief
      Hateful Racist Rally
      peace

    2. @Jesus Saves See you on Sunday Jesus. I would bet that your Heavenly Father isn’t to pleased with how you are acting though, you know, because of the reason you keep repeating yourself???

    3. @spaxxed

      Proverbs 26: 4:5
      Do not answer a fool according to his folly lest you also be like him
      (5) Answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own eyes
      I’m choosing to do the the first
      stay safe peace

    4. @Jesus Saves Aren’t you people supposed to be atheist? I mean, hypocrites aren’t supposed to believe in God, are they?

  5. Why does it always have to be about him. He has no clue. Basically, he is s racist. He is such a vain person, it’s all about him. Make America sane and lawfully responsible again.

    1. 6 19 20 Hey Fran Fran, Trick question? The behavior is consistent with a narcissistic pathological liar with no insight. He hasn’t been able to move past his issues due to the lack of parental love; imho. Stay safe, keep calm, & be well. v

  6. Because he got a lot of backlash for wanting to hold one of his Nazi Rallies during Juneteenth…DOESN’T MEAN HE MADE IT POPULAR.

    1. He just want people to forget that black people had realized great accomplishments that have been destroyed by hateful racists .

    2. Marie Alphonse I assure you we don’t care. And if we did play this “race is a team sport” game, “our” (it makes me puke to even pretend to groupthink that way) accomplishments dwarf yours. By orders of magnitude.

    1. We doing ours today at the Arkansas Martin Luther King’s Commission Voter Registration event with Free Food.

    2. LaDyZiNaDa Awesome! I like the free food idea. I’d say free with voter REGISTRATION or proof of REGISTRATION.

    3. @LaDyZiNaDa
      What about those of us who were already registered?
      Just kidding! Sounds like fun! Don’t forget election day parties! Stay up late and watch the counts come in for the West coast! I’m on the East coast so it’s a long fun night for me. 😁 I even saw Romney’s concession speech in 2012(around 3am)! Hey, pro sports watchers have late nights during championship seasons! LOL

  7. SOOO CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A DISGRACE AND DISGUSTING !!! HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING AND HE HAS DONE ANYTHING BUT DEFLECT, DISTRACT AND BLAME !!! GOD BLESS ALL AMERICANS !!
