  1. Let’s make America great by using the money we save from closing the schools to bail out the billionaires with another free welfare handout.

    1. Billionaires like trump are the “job creators” they get the bailouts. Republicans hate the 99% who only work.

    2. @Logan McLean unlike Biden who has back up, all drumpffuhrer has are fellating minions
      Are u one

  2. Hey America. Vote for someone who will put a society in p,ace for the NEXT pandemic. Because it’s coming. #bernie2020

    1. @elijah mikle $800 million cut from the CDC, Americans were silent, complicit.
      Wtf have you been?

  3. This pandemic will further enrich the wealthy vultures who will swoop up houses that will land in foreclosure and buy up stock at low prices with their horde of disposable income, further exasperating the already horrendous wealth gap.

    1. Sean Hannity does not want you to have universal health care! But he would love to grab your house for a fistful of dollars!

      Sean Hannity
      Net Worth‎: ‎$250 Million
      Salary‎: ‎$40 Million

      Sean Hannity salary: Between his radio and TV show gigs alone, Sean Hannity earns $40 million per year. Between June 2018 and June 2019, Sean earned $45 million from his various endeavors.

      Property empire: In April 2018, The Guardian newspaper released a report that detailed how Sean Hannity owns a property empire valued at $90 million. He reportedly owns nearly 900 houses in seven states. He owns everything from luxurious mansions to low-income properties. He allegedly bought dozens of properties in 2013 alone, most of them were bought out of foreclosure. In 2014 he bought two large apartment complexes in Georgia for $22.7 million where rents range from $700-1000 per month.

    2. @Nota Bene – Yet he’s not the one pushing for socialism->communism, ALL of the left are because that’s where the big money & influence are.
      They’re pushing for the same degenerate crap here that they did all over Europe before WW2 broke out & curtailed 90+% of that crap.

    3. — “Socialism doesn’t work!”
      — “But the Scandinavian countries are doing great with it”
      — “That’s not real socialism! They’re basically capitalist”
      — “Okay let’s adopt their policies then”
      — “No that’s socialism”

    4. @Internet Composting stop the stupid, European countries are doing better than the crap show america has become since St Reagan of Bonzo

  4. Check with your local school district, ours is putting meals together to deliver to those families with teachers volunteering their time to distribute.

    1. Josh R. In my district they never let the kids go hungry. There are several locations around the county designated to feed the children. We do this every spring break, and every summer. Anytime the children are out of school.

    1. It’ll soon be apparent who the rich ones really are while the rest of the country suffers…

    1. @THE ANGRY QUAD “Just tryin’ to stop the insanity before it began” By lying to the people and tanking the stock market? Lies come with consequence, most of us learn this by grade school. Now go work on your god awful content, maybe you can finally get someone to watch.

    2. @RektScrub Your a gamer translates into “LOSER”! Yes the CNN/ MSNBC is trying desperatly to tank the market to
      got President Trump out of office and it will fail! you’ll realize that when you get out of grade school eventually.

  5. Growth of stock market is most important — to 1%. 99% will be screwed – as usual.

    Minimize government control — maximize corporate control (i.e. fascism)

    1. Death Vader —- Is this now better? Growth of stock market is most important — to 1%. 99% will be screwed – as usual.

      Endless right wing mantra “Minimize government control” — resulted in maximized corporate control (i.e. fascism)

  6. Trump is shameless inhuman and whatever adjectives you wanna call him:
    In Tübingen, the company CureVac is researching intensively on a corona vaccine, but the USA (Trump) apparently want to secure the rights to it. The company does not want to participate – it receives praise from Germans Economics Minister Altmaier.

    There are apparently disputes between Germany and the United States over the Tuebingen-based company CureVac, which is working on a vaccine against the corona virus. The “Welt am Sonntag” reported that US President Donald Trump apparently tries to lure German scientists to America with high financial donations or to secure the drug exclusively for his country. Trump is doing everything possible to get a vaccine for the United States. “But only for the United States,” the newspaper quotes an anonymous source.

    1. @zinta0904 Ignorant, America isn’t getting a chinese vaccine if the FDA won’t allow it. We don’t put peoples health at risk, vaccine would take a year minimum. Only America matters now, and Mexico.

    2. @Fxck Racism Since I am from Austria I disagree. The whole world matters. My first post showed an international consortium under the flagship of a German company sponsored by the EU and some other countriesaround the world working together. The America first preamble is sorry to say bs. The fastest way to find a cure or vaccine is if resources get combined. But Trump does not want that, because he wants the vaccine exclusive for the US. I guess money is the motivator. My relatives in Seattle and lots of friends in the US are so sick of that egoistic world view, it gets the US more and more isolated.The FDA will allow it if it is approved in e.g. Europe. But anyway it will take around a year until something comes on the market wherever it will be. People need to face reality this is not going away by a miracle as Trump suggested and we will have to live with it for some time.

    3. @Fxck Racism what has that to do with anything? In matter of a fact bats spread it. But did China react good, no of course not it´s an authoritarian regime they lied did not give the correct numbers. we all know how they are. It´s the same with the current US government they lie, played down the virus and the consequences, but does it matter now, no! Now it´s time to save lives and after all the other bs about politics, finger pointing , …. can start again.

  7. I wish President Trump tied his presidency to the health and welfare of our citizens as much as he ties it to stock market.

    Oh well.

    1. Thank you, Cadet Bone-Spurs. You have nearly ruined our nation. You are number one at something… other than bankruptcies.

    2. @princeoftidds Do you really need somebody to tell you people must come before the stock market.

  8. Treasonous trump and the do nothing repukes are directly responsible for any coronavirus deaths and should be executed for treason

  9. Notice all these things that are needed… SNAP, unemployment, healthcare, paid leave, etc…. what the Republicans have been cutting and trying to continue to cut in our country. I hope this wakes people up to the importance of these things and the evil of cutting these programs!

    1. LOL, don’t hold your breath… Even moderate democrats can’t shut up about “how we gonna pay for healthcare” while dead silent on pointless wars and corporate socialism.

    2. @Kevin McNeil 1st of all, just randomly saying someone you don’t know “lies all the time” just shows that you don’t base your arguments on fact. Second, proof? What are you even upset about? It’s the Republican platform, had been for years, and they have been proud to lay their hats on it. Not my problem that you are oblivious to what your team’s legislators are doing.

    3. People who vote republican dose not care . They were and still are for the cutting because they believe it is blacks and browns getting these programs not the great white people, I am white

  10. Trump is my favorite person to hate on. Especially now that he messed with my beaitiful Mika. ♡

    1. Shut up with Yang please, all candidates claim that they will improve the healthcare system but not many of them actually do what they say
