  1. “We want to pay respect”!! He respects no one unless they have more power than him. Look at his “respect” for McCain. Disgusting.

    Where is the backbone and moral standing of good hearted members in the gop? Are they scared of a tweet?

    1. McCain was a traitor. His own men hated him. After he was captured he willingly made propaganda films for the Vietnamese. He also had a bad habit of hot dogging the jets he flew. He crashed 5 of them. The first one he lied and claimed engine failure when it was his fault. He was involved in another incident on the deck of a ship that killed many of his fellow soldiers.

    1. I hold no evil wishes for president Trump I actually know his ill intentions are not GODLY. He is his worst enemy as long as he can face the man in the mirror there will be no make America great again or GOD BLESS AMERICA GOD IS ❤️ LOVE NOT EVIL DEMONIC HATRED THAT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA I SERVE THE KING OF KINGS LORD OF LORDS HE IS THE MOST HIGH IT IS DANGEROUS TO FALL IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD🙏🙏💝🌈🌍

  2. If there were any republicans who were true Christains on the senate, they would never go along with this completely corupt attempt to subvert the justice system.

    1. Unfortunately, Christianity has been replaced by “Evangelicalism”in the minds of a lot of people. You can be an “evangelical” anything.

    1. @William H -Like Jesus said. “Love one another”. He didn’t put any qualifiers on that statement. You remember Jesus, don’t you?

    1. @James Thomas the sitting President nominates and the Senate is supposed to vote. He nominated, they didn’t vote. Not much more to it than that.

    2. @ckaz007 Sure and conservatives are such wonderful people, they wouldn’t smear candidates or have Merrick Garland to be voted on…would they? 🤔😑

    1. @dj jams can it. it sits with the Democrats. so far trump’s over the edge, he’s gone to far.
      a lot trump has done so far, Democrats are being asked to impeach trump.
      as to you. why is it that loyal trump supporters bare low IQ’s to fail to take notice of trump’s Chaos across America…

    2. The Senate are hypocrites and liars who have no integrity. They were against Obama in everything but now have chosen to be dogs and become vomit eaters. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 with whatever trump says.

    1. @Connie Hahn It isn’t illegal per se. It is unethical, but that has never bothered Mitch McConnell before. He is all about power and has forgotten his oath of office. It has been said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. McConnell proves the truth of that statement

    2. @gacj2010 there have been before McConnell and the radical right decided to ignore the fact that Congress is supposed to be a check on the executive branch instead of becoming an extension of it. McConnell has unethically and unconstitutionally joined the executive branch rather than become a check on its power. This increases the division in the country rather than unify it. It also shows his hypocrisy in denying a fair hearing on Obama’s pick and is unethically trying to ram through a replacement while people are now voting. It is disgusting and hypocritical.

    3. @Nancy M Ross 29 times in history , a SP justice has been appointed months before an election ..WHY? Elections have consequences. The republican majority gives the power and Democrats wouldnt hesitate to do the same and you know it. That same power allowed the senate to NOT appoint the one Obama chose. So Trump will chose one and it will be up to the senate to do or not to do. Where the democrats excoriated and screamed in the streets when Kavanaugh was appointed as well as make up stories that were never validated .. The repub senate has learned a lesson. There will be one appointed and the baby screaming that everyone is getting tired of will naturally expose their immaturity again .

  3. 43 days till Nov 3! tik tok tik tok tik tok! America’s coming for you trumppeee! My how time flies! *Vote Biden/Harris! Vote Democrat! Vote for American Democracy, Decency & Justice! Vote!*

    1. @gacj2010HOW ABOUT: MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL?? THE VIRUS WILL BE GONE, LIKE A MIRACLE, I WILL PIT OUT A BIGGER & BETTER HEAKTH CARE PKG. THAN OBAMA.ON&ON…HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?? I HAVE THE VIRUS ” UNDER CONTROL”!!!.😂🤣…BIDEN/ HARRIS..2020…❤💯🤍💯💙💯❤💯🤍💯💙💯❤💯🤍💯💙💯❤💯🤍💯💙💯

    2. BIDEN/HARRIS..2020..❤💯🤍💯💙💯❤💯🤍💯💙💯❤💯🤍💯💙❤❤🤍🤍💙💙❤💯🤍💯💙💯💯💯😊

    1. @Terry Teschner actually Trump has reestablished the US in foreign policy, although many countries loved the Obama pussification agenda, that’s over now.

    2. @Tim JesterI’ve seen the video. That’s why I did the research. It’s all on public record. Burisma and its founder, Mykola Zlochevsky, were under suspicion for money laundering and public corruption. The money laundering and public corruption that was investigated, happened in 2010-2012, which was before Hunter Biden was hired in 2014. That investigation was closed by Shokin and held dormant by the time Hunter Biden came on board. The U.S. government(including both Democrats and Republicans) sent Joe Biden over to Ukraine to notify the new government(which took office in 2014) that the IMF loan guarantee of 1 Billion dollars would be held up unless Shokin was removed because he was NOT investigating corruption. The U.S. government, World Court, IMF, and the European Union, all concurred, and Joe Biden was sent to deliver their message. Ukrainian prosecutor general Yuriy Lutsenko said in May 2019 that Hunter Biden had not violated Ukrainian law. After Lutsenko was replaced by Ruslan Ryaboshapka as prosecutor general, Lutsenko and Ryaboshapka said in September and October 2019 respectively that they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden. So the only people who say the Bidens did anything fishy are Donald Trump, in the middle of an impeachment investigation and corruption scandal, Rudy Giuliani, in the middle of a campaign violation and corruption scandal, and Victor Shokin, who was fired for not investigating corruption including that in his own department.

    3. @BidentheAntiTrump You are right about 1 thing.. MSDNC loves telling you how well they “fact check” everything lol.

      Obviously you have never once looked into it because these DNC fact checkers are politically driven by the DNC party. Please feel free to provide 1 example of a neutral “fact check” and your claim may actually start to hold some credibility.

    4. @BidentheAntiTrump how did Hunter get that job? He doesn’t know crap about oil/gas, doesn’t speak Ukrainian, and just got kicked out of Navy officer school for cocaine use,…again. Why was he getting paid millions?
      The only reason he was on the board is daddy was VP.
      Did Biden blackmail the Ukraine, or not? Clearly he did. He admitted it. Quid pro Quo. The President has every right to have it investigated.
      If you excuse this blatant corruption, don’t even mention Trump.

  4. You want to pay respect but want to do this a week after her death. Why not after the election like your goons suggested.

    1. @Angel Dunning I think the GOP is worried that heavy lies the crown won’t win. He’s behind 8 points on the national polls and the Republicans may be sweating at the reality that they may lose their senate majority. This is what parties do if they are panicking.

    2. @Chris Stone Agreed, but this whole situation is frustrating. Moscow Mitch should have never been able to deny Obama. He was even on record as stating if Hillary won, the Senate would leave the seat vacant for her term! This is insane. Moscow Mitch cannot rewrite the constitution! They created this rule, they should follow it.
      Mitch McConnell should be brought up on charges for what he has done.

    3. @Angel Dunning I agree but at this point, do we expect anything less? The Democrats have to learn to fight back and fight dirty with this party. Kentucky needs to vote McConnell out but there’s a problem with that: its Kentucky.

    4. @Chris Stone and McGrath is a Trump supporting Democrat! 🤬 seriously. So, a no-win situation in KY. Dems need to fight back. No more of this when they go low, we go high because Americans are suffering in that process. Get scrappy and get results!

    5. @Angel DunningYes, the Dems, Biden- the debates they need to go primeval on Trump. They need to bury him under the weight of his own stupidity and godawful ineptitude (which should be an easy task). Time to get merciless. No more compromise and meeting in the middle. Screw these guys.

      I’m passed burnt out on the party of pancake makeup orange moron boy. Like watching an episode of Jerry Springer 24/7. It would not surprise me if Trump floats the idea of replacing Ginsburg with Jeanine Pirro. I would not even flinch. He’s that stupid.

    1. @American Patriot j is that your crazy sadistic laugh, like when you watch kids play at the park?? tRUmp would be proud.

    2. @The Truth I’m not sad, you sad?
      However I do pity you people.
      BIDEN 🔵💯💪🇺🇸 HARRIS to SAVE LIVES, even your miserable skin bag.

  5. This isn’t just Trump. This is mainly Mitch McConnell. He’s been working towards this for years and he’s revelling in it.

  6. “The only time a Supreme Court Justice died this close to a sitting President election was when Lincoln was President. He decided the right thing to do was to wait until after the election to nominate someone to Supreme Court. Donald Trump, not an Abraham Lincoln, does what inflates his enormous ego, aided by Master Liar Mitch McConnell, who along with other Republican Senators went back on their word. Today, the Republican Party, once “The Party of Lincoln”, have nothing in common with Abraham Lincoln.

    1. GET OUT AND RIOT FOR A CHANGE

      The ‘Yellow Vests’ movement began as a grassroots citizen protest in November 2018 and quickly spread across mainland France, with participants demanding what they see as economic and social justice.

      Police deployed tear gas and pepper spray to disperse “Yellow Vests” protesters who had resumed their campaign against planned pension reforms by marching through the streets of the French capital on Saturday.

      The protest is taking place after France noted an increase in the number of coronavirus infections across the country. It also comes after the mandatory use of face masks in certain busier areas of Paris was established in August. The French government has limited the maximum number of participants to 5,000 for larger gatherings.

    2. @Rick Roth If 2 just say PRESENT then Mc Connell will only need 48 REpub votes .It will happen as it did 29 times before from g. Washington onward.

    1. Watch Mrs. Betty Bowers short video”Crazy” on comparing facial expressions of Charles Manson and Trump, very creepy.

  7. Toxic Trump at least spoke the truth about one thing: his supporters are disgusting! But, then, what does that make him?!?
