  1. Every republican president has given a recession but this takes the cake 🤕

    When will Americans learn.

    1. @Cycle of Life that you’d have to ask China, but that’s literally what they did, or have you forgotten, or were you not paying attention. And I mean no offense, but I’ve been paying the utmost attention to all of this sense January, and it is a well established fact that China purposely spread covid around the world. I watched it as it occurred. I still remember when China blocked all flights from Wuhan to anywhere in China, but still allowed all other flights world wide to occur. Most those flights were going to Italy, Iran, and America… if you don’t know these facts I suggest you look them up and get yourself acquainted.

    2. @Cycle of Life l lived through the Obama years, and Obama did indeed arrive at the beginning of a recession, and his marxist philosophies were so dangerous that all he managed to do was keep america in the dumps the entire 8 years he was president. Lest we forget his administration was always messing with the unemployment numbers to try to make them look good, they also told us 2 percent GDP was the new norm, and that manufacturing jobs would never come back. Trump blew all that crap out of the water. Also, the economy was definitely not getting better when he left office. That’s a rewriting of history by the libs. I lived through the Obama years, they were economically horrible, I never want to go back to them. Remember every time jobs reports came out thousands or hundreds of thousands of jobs lost – every time. And lastly, tell me, tell all of us, what laws/legislation did the Obama administration get passed that was set up to not kick in and make our economy good again, until after he was out of office? Please, I’m waiting

    4. @Kelly Cox I lose on what. N. Korea has done fine the entire covid outbreak, as has also Taiwan. But for those two blessed nations, and God bless them, the rest of the world didn’t do so well, and isn’t doing so well. You’re trying to look at the situation only from your small corner of the world, you need to look at the whole picture.

    5. @Kelly Cox you’re both blind and dumb. Most the world is not doing the testing like we’re, as much as we are. Further, it is a guarentee that China has far worse numbers than we do, but they’ve been lying about it from the beginning. But then again, what in your mind does that prove, the outcome would’ve been the same no matter who was our leader at this time. And yes they’re suffering like us, but you’d say what your saying if you only get your news from American news outlets. Try to get your news from outside of America, you’ll get more truth out of it, because so far you’ve made a fool of yourself

  2. As a Marine veteran, I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution, to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag.

    Trump and his followers are trying to burn the Constitution, while wrapping themselves in the flag. But what they fail to realize, is that without the Constitution, that flag means absolutely nothing. It’s just a piece of cloth, no different than any other piece of cloth.

    2. @Joni M.L. you poor fool. Then again, they’ve been brainwashing you for 4 years. Congrats, now you get to tell people how you were so brainwashed you voted for the moron with alzheimers and a vice president that pretends she’s black when she’s actually Indian. 😂😂😂

    3. @Joni M.L. I’ve already said that the various branches have all worked together to achieve their goals. No one branch is better than the other and each deserves to be proud of their work regardless of which branch they are in. The success of the military is in teamwork.

    4. @Margaret Nicol ~ Let me first add what I’d previously neglected to acknowledge, my regrets. My thanks to any and all of you that have served our country in immeasurable ways through out our history for the missions they were called for. I live in RED NE REDTexas and much of our local economy has relied on expenditures that provide for and support our military security. The extent of our budget that supports this is not in alignment with my personal expectations for what’s desperately needed in our country. That view however, doesn’t diminish the respect I have for the good people that serve us with their personal commitment and sacrifice.
      Thank you.

  3. John Dean warned us about Trump back in 2016.
    John Dean served as White House counsel to Nixon from 1970 to 73, he was a key figure in the Watergate saga—participating in, and then helping to expose, the most iconic political scandal in modern U.S. history at the time. Back in 2016, Dean said that Trump could easily be the most corrupt presidents ever—and possibly get away with it..

    “The American presidency has never been at the whims of an authoritarian personality like Donald Trump,” Dean stated. “He is going to test our democracy as it has never been tested.”
    Dean stated that he is not only convinced that Trump will be worse than Nixon in virtually every way—he thinks he could possibly get away with it.

    “I used to have one-on-one conversations with Nixon, where I’d see him checking his more authoritarian tendencies,” Dean recalled. “He’d say, ‘This is something I can’t say out loud…’ or, ‘That is something the president can’t do.’” To Dean, these moments suggested a functioning sense of shame in Nixon, something he was forced to wrestle with in his quest for power. Trump, by contrast, appears to Dean, to be unmolested by any such struggle.”  Dean went even further in his assessment, stating: “I don’t think Richard Nixon even comes close to the level of corruption we already know about Trump.”

    3. @ed rader Nixon started the EPA, Endangered Species Act & Earth Day was founded in 1970 under his watch when I was in 7th grade. He was paranoid about the press & fought with The NY Times like Trump. He’s the first potus who insisted on recording his Oval office meetings. That was his downfall. Nixon had just enough pride to respect the Oval office & resign when Barry Goldwater confronted him to do so. Trump will never admit fault or resign. If he loses, transition will be interesting to say the least. God willing…🙏

    3. @bert larsen NY post is a rag owned by Murdaugh, why would anyone read that 5th grade tableau. Give it up. Hunter Bidrn is a broken record. That’s th eff best Republicans can do vs Ivanka stealing inauguration funds, using unsecured emails and texting Trump’s schedule on her private phone, influence peddling, etc. Kirshner selling U secrets to America’s enemies0, influence peddling, engineering the deaths of over 200 k Americsns, influencing ef once peddling, Beavis and Butthead sell America to the highest bidder. These creeps are in the Administration with Security clearances they should not have because it is illegal. Hunter Biden is not and was not a civil service employee. He worked for private companies. But you are narrowly focused on Biden ignoring the crimes bring committed on the Hill by the Trump mob. Ttimp’s OWN DOJ comducted an investigation and found a nothing burger

  6. THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FAKE FOX NEWS FOR SAYING COVID IS A HOAX AND THEIR ADVERTISERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE LIKE BAYER, SANDALS, STAMPS.COM, SUBARU, PROGRESSIVE, ROMAN PHARMACY,

    Reply

    1. Bill Basically a judge has made a judgement about them:
      On Thursday Sep 24, 2020, 8:42 PM

      A FEDERAL JUDGE  dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers FOR the network argued that no “REASONABLE viewer” would take the network’s primetime star Tucker Carlson seriously.

      The former Playboy model Karen McDougal filed a defamation suit against Fox alleging that Carlson slandered her during a December 2018 episode of his show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
      The NETWORK asked a JUDGE to dismiss the case, arguing that “Carlson’s statements were NOT statements of FACT and that she failed adequately to allege actual malice.”
      The JUDGE agreed with Fox’s premise, adding that the network “persuasively argues” that “given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any REASONABLE viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statements he makes.”
      Carlson has long made racist and controversial statements as a primetime host on Fox News and has lost several advertisers because of it.”

      So, a judge actually said FOX is NOT News it is ENTERTAINMENT. Any REASONABLE person could not possibly believe them. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
      They won the dismal of a lawsuit because they are liars & REASONABLE people should know that!!

  8. I won’t be voting for a single Republican in this election. They’ve been despicable and they seem to have lost all honor, integrity and empathy.

    This election is about Democracy vs a dictatorship. Nothing less.

    1. @ed rader Or a racist, or a gun nut. I am not referring to people who own firearms although I won’t allow them in my house. I am referring to extremists: Evangelicals who think it’s a great idea to provoke a nuclear war to trigger the rapture, gun nuts that have armories of military assault weapons, and there are the racists like the idiots with tiki torchers in Charlottesville.

    2. @Joe Mac Wake up to what? Fox Noise? Alex Jones, Infowars, and the conspiracy wackos? No offense. I would rather believe media outlets all over the world. They don’t have to conspire to make Trump a liar & a psychopath. I grew up with Trump. He would plant stories of his sexual escapades in the tabloids. Then he would threaten to sue them if they printed the information he leaked to them. Because he has narcissistic personality disorder and is only happy when the media is focused on him. The press didn’t tell me that. I WATCHED it as I grew up in the NYC area.

      The media didn’t conspire to make Trump look bad over the Central Park Jogger case. Even after the accused were exonerated Trump took out a full page ad ranting that those guys deserved to be executed.

      We don’t need to wake up. You have gone down a rabbit hole of alternative reality & insane conspiracies. This isn’t the Matrix. You need help from a psychotherapist.

I voted straight blue in Texas yesterday… we’ve got to get a major reset after this 4 year debacle and it’s going to take years to get back to the much brighter broken place we were prior just to move past this. It’s feels like our country has regressed at least 30 years. Please vote and get involved in making the changes that are needed. 👍🏼💙🌊🌀⚖️🏛

      Your list makes it abundantly clear that you’ve failed to diversify the information sources you’ve relied on as a basis for your views. Many of the things you’re spouting to be facts are in fact…lies, misinformation, conspiracy and propaganda. Pity that you represent so much of what’s broken down our democracy even further and it was already quite flawed. BLUE TEXAS💙

  16. Yep, history will always remember him as the most corrupt president ever. Not only that but I have a feeling his name will become a joke for corruption, and the saddest part is so many of his die hard supporters will deny they ever liked him a year from now. We’re going to need a ton of psych help for millions of Trump supporters, it’s not healthy to split personalities like Trump has done to his supporters…
