    1. Coco Crisp Pro life isn’t compatible with the democrat abortionists. You say you are pro life but vote for those who continue to promote, fund and expand abortion now to full term in 7 states.

    2. @mik3ymomo Wrong again fuckhead, you need to learn history.
      Democrats are not Pro Abortion, they are Pro Choice. Big difference.
      Republikkklans are not Pro Life, they are Anti Choice, big difference.

    5. Coco Crisp pro choice to choose to murder someone legally isn’t a choice, it’s a crime. It’s legalized murder and you are complicit. Why always use euphemisms for what it is you are proponents for? Because it just hides the ugly truth of what you support.

    3. someone wrote this. I just copy/paste
      Dear Liberals:

      If you are a liberal who can’t stand Trump, and cannot possibly fathom why conservatives would ever vote for him let me finally fill you in.

      It’s not that we love Donald Trump so much. It’s that we can’t stand you. And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude obnoxious unpredictable narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the only thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is you.

      How is that possible you might ask? Well, you have done everything in your power to destroy our country. From tearing down the police, to tearing down our history, to tearing down our borders. From systematically destroying our schools and brainwashing our kids into believing socialism is the answer to anything (despite being an unmitigated failure everywhere), while demonizing religion and faith, and glorifying abortion, violence, and thug culture.

      From calling us racists every time we expect everyone of any skin color to follow our laws equally, to telling us that our “tolerance” of lifestyles we don’t agree with isn’t nearly enough — no we must “celebrate” any lifestyle choice or gender option (forget science) you throw our direction or you think it’s fine to calls us homophobic or some other degrading slur you decide is okay to call us — ironically all while lecturing us on hate speech. While you gaslight us about 52 genders, polyamory, grown men in dresses sharing public locker rooms with little girls, and normalize the sexualization of young children, you simultaneously ridicule us for having the audacity to wish someone a “Merry Christmas” or hang a flag on the 4th of July, stand for the national anthem, or (horror or horrors) don a MAGA hat in public. So much for your “tolerance.” (See why we think you are just hypocrites??)

      We’re also not interested in the fact that you think you can unilaterally decide that 250 years of the right-to-bear-arms against a tyrannical or ineffective government should be abolished because you can’t get the violence in the cities you manage under control. That free-speech should be tossed out the window, and that those who disagree with your opinions are fair game for public harassment or doxing, That spoiled children with nose-rings and tats who still live off their parent’s dime should be allowed to destroy cities and peoples livelihoods without repercussions. That chaos, and lawlessness, and disrespect for authority should be the norm. This is your agenda. And you wonder why we find you more dangerous than Donald Trump?

      Your narrative is a constant drone of oppressor/oppressed race-baiting intended to divide the country in as many ways as you possibly can. You love to sell “victim-hood” to people of color every chance you get because it’s such an easy sell compared to actually teaching people to stand on their own two feet and take personal responsibility for their own lives and their own communities and their own futures. But you won’t do that, you will never do that, because then you will lose control over people of color. They might actually start thinking for themselves, God forbid!

      This is why we will vote for Donald Trump. Not because he is the most charming character on the block. Not because he is the most polite politician to have ever graced the oval office. Not because he is the most palatable choice, or because we love his moral character or because the man never lies, but because we are sick to death of you and all of the destructive crap you are doing to this once beautiful and relatively safe country. Your ineffective and completely dysfunctional liberal “leadership”(?) has literally destroyed our most beautiful cities, our public education system, and done it’s damnedest to rip faith out of people’s lives.

      However bad Donald Trump may be, and he is far from perfect, every day we look at you and feel that no matter what Donald Trump says or does there is no possible way he could be any worse for our country than you people are.

      We are sick to death of your stupid, destructive, ignorant, and intolerant behavior and beliefs — parading as “wokeness.” We are beyond sick of your hypocrisy and B.S.

      We are fed up with your disrespectful divisiveness and constant unrelenting harping and whining and complaining (while you live in the most privileged nation in the world), while making literally zero contributions of anything positive to our society. Your entire focus is on ripping things down, never ever building anything up. Think about that as there is something fundamentally very wrong in the psychology of people who choose destruction as their primary modus operandi.

      If Donald J Trump is reelected, don’t blame us, look in the mirror and blame yourselves. Because you are the ones that are responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. You are the ones who have created this monster that you so despise, by your very actions. By your refusal to respect your fellow Americans, and the things that are important to us.

      You have made fun of the “fly-over states,” the people who “cling to their guns and religion,” the middle class factory workers and coal miners and underprivileged rural populations that you dismissively call “yahoos” and “deplorables.” You have mocked our faith and our religion. You have mocked our values and our patriotism. You have trampled our flag and insulted our veterans and treated our first responders with contempt and hatred.

      You have made environmentalism your religion, while trashing every city you have taken responsibility for. You scream from the rooftops about “global warming” and a “green new deal” while allowing tens of thousands of homeless people to cover your streets in literal sh*t and garbage and needles and plastic waste without doing a single thing to help them or solve the environmental crisis your failed social policies are creating. But we’re supposed to put YOU in charge of the environment while gutting our entire economy to institute this plan when you can’t even clean up a single city?? You complain — endlessly — yet have failed to solve a single social problem anywhere. In fact, all you have done is create more of them.

      We’ve had enough. We are tired of quietly sitting by and being the “silent” majority. So don’t be surprised when the day comes when we finally respond. And trust me it’s coming, sooner than you might think. And also trust me when I say it won’t be pretty. Get ready.

      If Donald Trump is reelected it will be because you and your “comrades” have chosen to trash the police, harass law-abiding citizens, and go on rampages destroying public property that we have all paid for and you have zero respect for.

      If Donald Trump is reelected it will be because we are sick of your complete and utter nonsense and destruction. How does it feel to know that half of this country finds you FAR more despicable than Donald J. Trump, the man you consider to be the anti-Christ? Let that sink in. We consider you to be more despicable, more dangerous, more stupid, and more narcissistic than Donald Trump. Maybe allow yourself a few seconds of self-reflection to let that sink in. This election isn’t about Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden. This is about Donald Trump vs. YOU.

      So if on the morning of November 4 (or more likely December 29 by the time the Supreme Court will weigh in on the mail-in ballot fiasco we are headed towards) if Donald J. Trump is reelected? The only people you have to blame is the left-wing media drones and yourselves. You did this. Yep you.

    4. @carlos tejada it just backs up what the video is about, McCarthyism….and the silent majority does not exist. It is a figment like the moral majority that is backing many many immoral acts, and is not a majority either. But you guys go ahead and feel good calling yourselves that. Hate, can only create destruction, never be a positive thing and never result in good change. So all I have seen by this letter is that someone is delusional, hate-filled, and certainly not an agent of change, OR conservation….but only of destruction.

    1. That’s what candidates do. Not hide out in the basement. But you probably didn’t get many history lessons in school. If you did, they weren’t American history lessons. Watch the debate next Tuesday, IF he makes it and you will see why brain dead joe is hiding.

    1. Trumpists are certain God favors Trump because he keeps getting away with everything he does.
      In your logic, voting would be not only irrelevant, but sinful, because only God determines who is in power and for how long. That was the theological basis of absolute monarchies. The French Revolution and all democratic governments were deemed as against the will of God in the time of kings.
      Keep thinking. If your only hope by now is God killing Trump, the American political system is a total failure.
      Do you believe it?

  9. Trump mocked Ali Velshi and made fun of him getting hurt while reporting on a protest. Trump said it was a beautiful sight. OK, Mr. Velshi now is your time to do what you can to bring the Trump presidency to an end!

    2. @Robin straight from Fox and shared amongst his moronmic mates that don’t verify anything they hear. I could dispute most of that bs, because if they’re not patently false, they’re based skewed statements that only low educated people lap up because they don’t understand the difference between plain numbers and percentages… But Trump loves the uneducated.

    3. @American Patriot you are a faux Patriot, obviously a Fox News propaganda American. True Patriots work to perfect the Union, and are committed to the Constitution not a supreme leader. And especially a supreme leader who wiped his backside with the Constitution. You have lost all right to call yourself a patriot you don’t even know what a patriot is!

    4. @Amber Russo Your comment was somewhat understated… The Trump troll’s are not renowned for their credibility, English language skills or intellectual brilliance, but neither are the Trump creature groupies !…

    1. They are the real problem in the U.S. Trump is just one symptom. After Trump they will elevate a new cult leader that will be even worse.

    1. Even if you hate both presidential candidates, it’s important to vote for the down ballot races. From dog catcher to Senator…everyone of them matters. Avoid anyone that accepts money from big corporations and/or special interest groups. As long as they are donating more money than the constituents, elected officials will be beholden to them and not the people they take an oath to represent. We have the power to change the direction this country is headed…we just have to have the will.

    1. carlos tejada — are you really that blind? Your emojis are the definition of projection. Do you support a dictatorship in America? Do you support an incompetent dotard in the White House?

    2. Carlos tejada from your name it seems like you’re Hispanic and if you are, it seems like you’re a white wannabe, but you know what if you are, you’re really stupid cause he don’t care about you. And if you’re that stupid you just won’t be able to understand that. He don’t even care about his deplorable, uneducated (whom he also calls stupid) supporters whom are white much less is he gonna care about you. But oh well it is what it is to each it’s on. And don’t start crying when you’re in need of some kind of government assistance because as you know the MURDERER IN CHIEF wants to take away as much possible as he can from ordinary Americans to keep for himself and to give to his wealthy cronies.

    1. Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

    4. People that support Trump please move to Russia, since you do not want a Democracy. Trump wants to make American his next Corporation, American to him = Trump, Inc. People wake up its Country over Party !! . The people that hold offices in this Democracy should not have this much power, We the People should have to power to Vote on the issue that matter this all Americans, IE Justices. Our Founding Father warned against a Partied system can you see why now? The Founding Father did not want a Monarchy, if you support Trump you are not an American you are a Traitor to the Constitution and our Democracy. Trump loves Dictators what you love you strive to become.

    4. @carlos tejada Under Trump more troops have been deployed and he’s also increased the drone programs which you whine about. Seriously get off Fox for a bit, you might actually learn something…

    3. That is a kin to “Why do you lie?” I saw the interview with the reporter who asked that and when he was asked
      “Why do you ask Trump that question?” He replied, “Because it was pointless asking him a real question since he would lie anyway. I thought I should get to the bottom of it and just ask why he constantly lies”
