    1. @Manfred Ruzow Yes. We are all jealous of Trump. A lying, bullying, impeached one- term president with dozens of unflattering tell all books. Indictments ready to be handed over as soon as he leaves office. Love to be in Trump’s shoes.

    2. @Cynthia Neighbors
      Check out the crowds at any of his events compared to Biden’s.
      The boat parades ,
      biker runs and road rallies too.
      Biden’s supporters are too busy looting and burning to show up for him when he departs his basement bunker.

    3. The millionaire boat show. Car rallies, a desperate attempt for attention. Biden wants his supporters to be safe. You might have heard of a nasty airborne virus going around. Trump doesn’t care about your well being, ask
      Herman Cain, oh that’s right he’s dead.

  1. Trump is saying out loud that he needs the republicans to put his Justice pick in place, so he can overthrow the election results. Now we wait to see if his republicans help him.

    1. You know the Republicans will back Trump up. They have lost their minds. We might lose our country and freedoms over power and money hungry spineless fools.

  2. He is telling everyone in advance he has no intention of relinquishing power – he really has no choice considering how many laws have been broken during his administration

    1. @Doug Schaufele I don’t want to accept it, but I think that you’re probably right – with the Department of Justice in Barr’s hands there is no enforcement of the laws which protect democracy

    2. Trump is not foolish to disappoint the people who elected Trump. He must be the president the full 4 years plus another 4 if the dem supporters of Russian Collusion, fake impeach, and promoters of protesters/riots/looting. cannot have their crooked means fulfilled. Do you like this theatrical act with costume by Pelosi and her senators. This is very good performance one cannot miss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZgVBFYM2qk

    1. I’m taking Nov. 3rd off from work to drive as many neighbors, friends, family and many elders of my tribe to and from the polls. Never done this before but we have had polling centers closed down. Now there’s only one close by but still quite a drive. My chief heard and I have the honor now of being asked to drive several tribal elders. This vote is important to us and a lot of people feel that they have to vote in person. I am not asking anyone who they are voting for or anything. I just want us to vote.

    1. Pathetic magat scum coming out of their holes to defend their fuhrer. These worthless parasites should’ve followed bunker boy’s advice and injected bleach. Filthy plague rats

    1. @wildcatter63 … MCCONNELL…
      AGREED. McConnell Orchestrated this Whole scenario. From Funneling money to State Legislators (through his now Russian Supported “Leadership Fund” ie Len BLAVATNIK) To CONTROLLING the GOP Memberships with Threats and Campaign Funding; it isn’t Mitch McConnell’s Charisma. To PACKING the Federal Courts and the Supreme Court with Compliant GOP Lackeys; To gaining the support of the Rapacious 01 One Percent (Who’ve dreamt of this moment since 1933, FDR and General Smedley) To work his scurrilous schemes (Koch Brothers/McConnell Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission SCOTUS Decision). All to amass second hand power, money and control for McConnell. Polio left McConnell’s Perception twisted and diminished. It enlarged and expanded FDR Perceptions. MCCONNELL SHOULD BE INCARCERATED FOR LIFE.

    1. DUUUUH! Old news by YEARS now! He has already said he would not accept losing! Which means MORE VIOLENCE! MORE DEATHS! and a civil war ahead with the communist walking right in as they always said they would take us over without THEM ever firing a shot! Guess where we are NOW?

    3. I agree Tony Perez, check out Putin’s Toy [ click the J to play, 6398 views, mainly from MSNBC subscribers like myself]. It’s an old school Brit. punk rock anti Trump look at Putin’s influence on the White House.

    1. @tj Rioux Nah.We have just been fooled by people who do things common decent people wouldn’t do.ergo if it’s not in your nature to do something like rip out immigrant womens overies without consent then you wouldn’t expect someone else to do it. These hard line conservatives have been easing their sick ideology into government under everyones radar. It is a result of deception. Not public ignorance

  3. The GOP is not hiding any more. They have just clearly shown that “use my words against me” means nothing. They openly and blatantly lie on camera. You cant take anything for granted any more. They seem far too overconfident, as if they have already decided not to leave and can now openly do whatever they want. They have something bad up their sleeve.

    1. @Bvd45 Bvd47 he has a lot of help. why do you think they`re trying to rush through another trump toady for the supreme court?

    2. Absolutely. Sen. Booker, your idealism is more naivety. Were you not paying attention these past 4 years and during president get-out-of-jail-free’s impeachment.

    3. @Nomad Purple agreed however, it doesn’t just mean 4 more urs of chaos..it means the end to democracy. He has already said numerous times he will sign an executive order giving himself 8 more yrs. This IS the last election america will have if he is not stopped. He also stated numerous times he feels after his 3rd term ivanka will make a great president to carry on for him. That is a dictatorship same as north korea.

    4. @Bvd45 Bvd47 He may not on his own, but he is only the head of the snake. I am sure he has others urging him on and making the actual plans (doing the thinking), including McConnell, Barr and Putin whispering in his ear.

  4. This President is a menace to our democracy and the American way of life in this Country. Trump will not comment to a peaceful transfer of power. Trump should resign or be removed by all means available.

    1. Zoltan, I don’t know if you grew up in the US, but this country has never been a “democracy” as commonly understood. Trump marks the end of the US as a quasi-democratic Republic, and the beginning of a dictatorship that has been long in coming. If you have a dual passport, keep it up to date. If you don’t, don’t wait to explore your options.

    2. @Gary Michael The contention is fatuous, whoever you are, and wherever you are bleating from. Jefferson’s party was called the Democratic Republicans. The original “democracy” was the city state Athens, which was founded by a class of free men and sustained by a population of slaves. Word are apt to be wavy.

    3. @Gary Michael the Constitution established a federal democratic republic to be accurate, so yeah we do in fact have a democracy. We just have a wanna de dictator trying to degrade it into authoritarian rule at the moment. Get your facts straight before commenting kiddo.

    4. What bone-spurs, bunker-boy doesn’t know is that he doesn’t have a say in “transfer of power.” He is the loser.

    5. @Zoltan Kraynik Trump doesn’t have the BALLS to take over America as a fascist dictator!! I mean, LOOK at the guy! He signs off on EVERY budget Nancy Pelosi wants. His son in law, Jared Kushner, calls ALL the shots in the White House. Trump is a wuss.

    1. They should be IMPEACHED as being improperly and fraudulently seated as soon as the new and DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY Congress and Senate are seated.

    1. @Maharajji NKB You really lie a lot. This is exactly Hitlers playbook. Hitler was not a socialist, he was a dictator. How did it end for Germany and the millions of dead worldwide? Thats trump in his dreams.

    3. @Bertha Chavez … Hitler did not have Totalitarian Powers in the beginning. In fact he was put in Prison and wrote “Mein Kampf” while Incarcerated. It is the book Ivana Trump stated Trump kept by his bedside. The steps Trump’s taking are exactly from Hitler’s Playbook. Trump Supporters should be AWARE. ONCE Hitler assume Totalitarian Power; he EXECUTED Hundreds Of his early followers.The 4 Million Storm Troopers Leadership suffered greatly. including ERNST ROHM Hitlers Earliest Supporter and Friend(?). Hitler had him put to death.

    4. @Ann Owens Good to see you got your history facts straight as well. Such a rare thing these days. The greatest value the study of history has is to prevent us from making the same mistakes again. And to recognise the writing on the wall….

    1. Lol

    2. Woah! Did not know that! I’m British but I still know some presidential history. Trump is like some of our worst monarchs combined! You might want to check he isn’t holding any of the GOP senators children hostage! George the third, ironically, isn’t one of them. By that time the government had all the power, and most of his duties were ceremonial. If he had said no they had the power to veto him and he knew it. Apologies for.the despicable aristocracy that made the decisions. If it helps they didn’t treat us any better! Just themselves. Sound familiar?

    1. smell better too, I’m sure. Republicans can’t hide the stench of B.S. they tend to emit when spewing their lies.

    2. It is time to take Action not Form Committees. Have the McConnell Controlled GOP Senators Stand AND For The Record State: the Constitution or Trump.

    2. He has no idea what those political and financial systems of government actually mean. He just uses them as buzzwords to get his “base” riled up. trump lives in some bizarre 1950s McCarthy version of America, when those terms were last relevant.

    3. trump is a russian agent-he has no respect for the constitution- if he is not put in prison then the whole thing is a bad joke.
