    1. Trump 2Q2Q The Library so I’m curious here is 200,000 dead Americans apart of the whole make America great again schtick or do y’all just ignore facts?

    2. Trump 2Q2Q The Library also it’s you’re small not your small, really living up to that not college educated white trump supporter demographic

  1. Democrats always pine for the reasonable Republican. There aren’t any. They only want raw power. Stop seeking their cooperation.

    1. No faith in democracy or justice system? I don’t blame you. Please think before you bomb the next country to instill democracy there – only exception being Saudi. Americans are not keen on bringing democracy there. Hypocrites. Why are you surprised by Trump’s actions. He is American.

    2. @Priyam D “No faith in democracy or justice system? I don’t blame you. Please think before you bomb the next country to instill democracy there – only exception being Saudi. Americans are not keen on bringing democracy there. Hypocrites. Why are you surprised by Trump’s actions. He is American.”
      WE DON’T WANT TO DO THAT. The majority of us oppose these wars! Our government does not represent us at all.

  2. against a shameless gop unwilling at any point the last 4 years to be reasonable or have a spine its time for the Dem leadership to see the writing on the wall; change tactics or the more Liberal wing of the party which has always had the real backbone will take over and defend what the moderate Dems seem unwilling to

  3. Just the other day I asked, what more could be revealed about our glorious leader to diminish his standing in the cesspool that is his life. He had just been exposed has hating vets, calling them Losers and Suckers. I wondered when that outrage would be so yesterday by yet something uglier. Imagine he knew how bad Covid would be and kept it to himself. 200 thousand dead later and counting. God have mercy

    Why did Trump lie and do nothing to protect America ? Maybe he forgot, maybe he is so stupid he believes in magical thinking, maybe Putin was advising him, maybe he has been suffering a stroke since he came down the escalator, maybe he is the “End Times” personified.

    1. He did nothing to protect America because there was no money in it for him. This COVID-19 virus is just a big inconvenience for him. His job was to wreck the economy, clean out the nation’s treasury, and leave the nation at war with it’self. He wasn’t selected to be President to help anyone, but himself.

    1. @Steven Held I think you mean “you’re a fool.” It’s very indicative that trump supporters are so ignorant.

    1. He thinks his family is going to save the US. See the White Horse Prophecy. I’m confident he doesn’t think changing parties will help him do that.

  4. The only thing meaningful was Mitt Romney saying his decision would be based on the appointees qualifications. All the rest is word salad politics.

    1. @Harry William “Mitt likes his job joined the Donald club”
      I don’t know. Mitt doesn’t seem to need Trump to keep getting elected in Utah. He was the only Republican Senator who voted to convict in the impeachment hearing. He also tweeted a picture of himself marching with BLM pretty early after George Floyd’s death. I wouldn’t count on him doing the right thing here, but if there’s one Republican who might, he’s the guy.

    2. @Mister Guy Mitt abhors Trump. He says he’ll vote. If he feels the nominee isn’t qualified, he’ll vote against…….I hope.

  5. As of: Tuesday September 22,2020
    “Donald Trump & His Administration…
    “LIED” & KNOWINGLY ALLOWED”
    “205,380 AMERICANS TO DIE FROM CORONAVRIUS”
    “FAMILY MEMBERS DID NOT HAVE TO DIE”

    “Trump allowed Russian Bounties on American Military with no consequences…
    (The U.S. would retaliate if bounties on U.S. troops were true)
    (Trump not taking intelligence information concerning soldiers deaths seriously)
    “Trump quote on Russian Bounties—Aug 20,2020”
    “Repeatedly called military members “losers & suckers”
    “Asked wounded veterans be kept out of military parades”
    “Refused to visit military cemetery in France because it was raining”

    “58,214 Brothers & Sisters were killed in country”
    “Over 1,626 Americans missing & Still Unaccounted for”
    “Vietnam Veterans & America”
    Who do you think our lost
    Servicemen & Woman
    “Would Want You To Vote For”

    “Vote Trump & this administration out of office in November”
    The next…
    “Loser may be YOU or A Family Member”
    P.O.W.
    M.I.A.

  6. Too late America. This is another “while America slept” moment. First Pearl Harbor, then 9/11, and now Trump. The US is finished.

    1. Agreed. Time to stop walking “the high road”. That “high road” means our heads are tip-toeing in the clouds. We need to get back onto Planet earth and start pushing dirt if we want to make some traction and move anything.
      What this Trump catastrophe has taught me is that a Dictatorship or Oligarchy is extremely possible in the United States. If Trump was smarter, it would been formalized by now without this pretension of a Democracy. Corporations and Putin have all but won the war, already. But Trump was too stupid to have made the change seamless. He was too obvious and self-defeating. Just like in Asian and 3rd world countries, Americans feel weak and neutered and crave a strong daddy figure to make the boogy-man go away. Republicans are leading the charge for this adoption. We are not the strength our grand-dads were.

    2. Time to get down in the mud….they’ve proven the enemy of people who actually work for a living…time to play hardball with them…that means every vote necessary…and drag out this process and make it as ugly as possible…🤷‍♂️ and yes, extra states, justices on the court, end the filibuster and maybe take a try at some amendments to end the culture wars…

    3. Playing nice that is rich from the crime party who is openly showing us how far they will go to change the rules on the fly every time they lose. I guess you think the KKK played nice with Blacks too.
