  1. “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves, and traitors are not victims, but accomplices.” – George Orwell

    1. So now women are solely responsible for unwanted pregnancy but the federal government endorces sexual assault by a man who, by his own admissions, finds it exciting to attack women, cheats on his wife and call women names. Women who support trump need to wake up.

    1. @Andrew S Of course, every intelligent person knows that the repeated plaintive cries of fake news only ever come from snowflake Trump and his sycophants. Every time the cry of ‘fake news’ is heard from the orange loser it is drowned out by yawns from all the sane people.

    1. Er in a democracy you can’t just jail someone because you hate them and they’re constantly defeating you ! Sorry Bud time to go back to school !

    2. If Trump was suspected of hiring only stooges & cronies then why was that power to choose that position handed over in the first place (Democrats?). Obviously it was to save Trumps hide.

    3. Barr and the donald should be in the same cell, so that they can spend the rest of their lives roto-rootering each other’s hemorrhoids.

    4. Under trump, the answer is “yes”, but AFTER trump…oh boy are we gonna have judicial fun with billyboy, lotsa and lotsa fun. And we mustn’t forget Moscow mitch and deJoy and devvos and….

    1. @Jackie Osborne We certainly don’t live on the same planet if you think a guy saying that rain is wet from the standpoint of water, stopping hurricanes with nuclear bombs, injecting bleach and lights and trees explode could even look sentient besides Biden.

    1. Yes he is. America has a built-in delusion about the status of President. It’s a much steeper road to charge an ex-president with a crime.

    1. Barr is a fair straight down the middle public servant. The problem is, that there has been such a pro Democrat bias by recent senior officers, that someone who is unbiased, comes as a shock to Democrat politicians.

    2. 2 wings of the same bird. two sides to the same coin. all are corrupt, none are good. it is not blue vs red, it is evil vs good.

    1. @Sean Breslin coward you are the one that is ignorant you coward. We all know your dictator Putin keeps you cowards ignorant

    1. @Andrew Walton er.. basement? I think you’ve forgotten about Trump hiding in his bunker matey. Scared and trembling because three people were on the sidewalk half a mile away. Such a loser.

    2. I don’t fear for the world because “fear” is such a benign word in this malignant trump atmosphere. I’m TERRIFIED for all mankind and more so for all womankind.

  2. A view from Europe: Every stateman , president or prime minister, in the continent want the orange man out of the office. He is a danger for peace, security, and mental health of all good men.

    1. Amazing that he slithers like a snake over the real collusion stories, like Ukraine. Do a search for Joe Biden, Ukraine President, phone call, recorded, audio. Use DuckDuckGo dot com. Also search for Hillary Clinton, Sells 20% of USA’s uranium to Russia. Fact remains fact and the perpetrators of the distraction hype are the perpetrators of the Activities behind the hype. In other words, they are flailing a branch over their dusty footprints using the mirror-my-actions-on-you technique. So, Hillary, who colluded with Russia to give them 20% of America’s precious uranium, why on earth would you do that, Hillary, is behind the Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax. So, naturally, by mirror reflection, Biden and Adam Schiff who are well ensconced in the portal of Ukraine are behind the Ukraine Impeachment Hoax.

    1. Or shot children because they were aiming for someone because of a drug deal gone wrong..When you can answer me, in, a way that gives any justification to what I’ve said..Let me know..

    2. @Ielene Haynes Of course, because what you said is was so wisely formed and backed up by…..your new phony god q-anon.

  3. Americans are now fielding Criminal defense bills for Criminals in Public Office on Republican platform.
    Vote Blue and get them out.

    1. Get them out before they destroy the country and the world. This is the far right;’s swan song. Let’s not just go for the win – let’s make it a landslide!

    1. @Ielene Haynes your not serious are you? He’s lied over 60+k times & counting, other Presidents in the past 70+ yrs hasnt let a pandemic run a muck & got rid of the pandemic response team before pandemic struck, “example” obama stopped ebola, sars, from becoming an epidemic cause the had a plan book which chrump has thrown away & look where were at now, everything chrump touches dies or fails, hes a reality show failure, a pure bigot, racist fanning flames & secretly telling his supporters to be radical & saying the left is radical (chrump speaks in reflection of what he is & projects it on those opposed to him) i see & witnessed the b.s. of what chrump has caused, @ first i didn’t care for chrump @ all. But since after he became “president” ive witnessed racism, violence go way up & i saw the connection it was & is because of chrump, (example) fly any other flag & watch chrump supporters freakout & start trouble then they blame the opposers for flying a flag thats not chrump2020, i can go on & on about chrump but im not wasting my time so unless you open your eyes to the reality of what going on both sides your a blind, hypnotized sheep following an orange haired wolf in sheeps clothing into his hole.

    2. @Wanda Roderick Do you have any clue what the word democracy means? I mean, just any little clue whatsoever? I think whoever gave you a keyboard was a bit premature. You haven’t mastered the crayons yet.

  4. Remember: innocent people don’t hide evidence. Ever. In fact, they demand it be shown, for it exonerates them.

    1. I’m at work, I’m busy with a patient having a baby ( I’m a midwife) go and take your unhinged comments and annoy someone else

    2. Hayley King Once again, Deplorable, YOU HAVE MADE NO FACTS FOR ME TO LOOK INTO, JUST WORTHLESS CLAIMS!
      Why am I continually having to repeat myself?
      And stop rambling, it’s pathetic.

    3. Hayley King It beggars belief how you can still deny the endemic racism in your country; you really are the lowest, smh.

    4. Hayley King Of course, if you actually WERE a midwife you would be able to tell me why the death in childbirth rate is so high in the US compared with other countries….🙄

  5. 2020: When you worry more about an incompetent US president and his team of crooks and buffoons more than a global pandemic.

    1. ​@Colonel Kurtz WE’RE GOING TO WIN AND I CAN SMELL YOUR DESPERATION OVER THESE PIXELS. TRUMP 2020, TRUMP 2024 AND KUSHNER 2032.

    2. Colonel Kurtz – Yes we are worried about the man who ignored information about Covid-19 and told Americans that it would magically disappear. The same man who will not hold himself responsible for 200,000 deaths of Americans. The same man who KNOWS the virus is air spread and continues to hold rallies with Americans sitting very close to each other. The same guy who has made no attempt to protect Americans? We are worried about a leader who hides important information about the pandemic.

    3. @TOM SMITH so maybe Biden has Alzheimer’s? Ronnie Reagan had it and did just fine by all Republican accounts. Lol
