    1. @Darktolight More precisely: yet one more pile of crap that will fool Trump Sheeples while every grown up rolls their eyes.

    2. @B. T. Yes “Mark bodman” is yet another freshly minted account. its odd how Trump needs so many sock puppets to create an impression that there are lots of Trump supporters.

    1. @David Goldman
      Shut up he warned the American people too late because he didn’t care don’t come with that he did this and he did that he’s a POS. Thank God come January 20th 2021 that rubbish is gone. 🤣

    2. Once he’s no longer president I think every family that lost a member to covid-19 should pursue civil action against this peice of garbage

    3. @jozie white I agree. I think Trump should be held underwater by civil actions until he dies. I do not advocate wrongful lawsuits, but I do think there is enough evidence to nail Trump to the wall, and to process all of those suits could take 10 years or more.

    1. That’s what happens in cults. He is a master manipulator and his sheep will never believe anything other than what their master says.

  1. I hope all the people he pardons know they are pleading guilty to the specific crimes for which they are pardoned. Sheriff Joe found that one out the hard way in a national TV interview. SAD.

    1. Only if they’ve been convicted of a crime. Nixon got a full and free pardon for any and all federal crimes and was never convicted and he never admitted to any wrong doing. Those are the kinds of Pardons that Pompeo, Ivanka and others will receive. He might test a self pardon, but it’s more likely that he resigns to receive a Pence pardon.

    1. @Cecile Joubert Nice fake picture, russian or chinese spam account?

      List donalds crimes ill get you started
      1) colluding with russia in a usa election!
      2) 100s of fraud thefts from a charity!

    1. @Allen Cameron guess we need to get through the growing pains.
      It is however the world’s longest lasting democracy. I guess there is something to be proud of.

    2. @Danie B `Athiests/religious` – Agree with your breadth. Was being succinct for the exchange.
      `Census` Yes, it seems this administration prefers uninformed status-quo. The demographics of the country are changing in a way this administration finds uncomfortable. Redistricting is complex and complicated, and it’s not going to change much for 10 more years due to no state houses flipping. Lucky for powermongers.

    3. @Allen Cameron “Citizens in rural states” I agree but as of now they don’t see it that way. They’re still at the `hate the label I’ve always hated no matter what` stage. Yeah, agree with all your points, it’s time for that, reluctantly but with resolve.

    1. @sarge727 steal lol. Yes he did. I know A lot of people in Atlanta said they didn’t vote yet. Somehow the system said they did.

    2. @Gwendolyn Alowolodu great let’s get those people in front of a judge and swear under oath and let’s get you in front of a judge and swear under oath that these people actually said that to you

    3. @Gwendolyn Alowolodu awesome. The proof we’ve been waiting for. Tell your friend to go to the courts. So far all we’ve heard is people saying stuff but no one is in court saying it.

  2. In 1915, the Supreme Court wrote in Burdick v. United States that a pardon “carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.”

    1. Tee hee hee.. just talking about the future makes me giddy with happiness. We are going to need to make a news station that only covers the hot mess of litigation that will start Jan 21

    2. But the real question is what brain injury caused you to vote for Biden and Shove a baseball bat up you backside. The AMA wants to know.

  3. Looks like “Mr Trump” plans on making Dam sure he fills the swamp before he’s bum rushed out of office.

    1. @David Goldman That is being rather selective. Look at the all elite millionnaires in Trump’s cabinet who btw benefited from the tax cuts he gave out. You are simply echoing what is being spun and not thinking for yourself. Trump brought in his own swamp .

    1. The American system gives the POTUS nearly regal powers. Time to make changes to the system. A XVIII century Constitution made by gentlemen for gentlemen doesn’t work anymore.

  4. He’s upset that people tried to delegitimize his presidency.
    Like how he tried to deligitimize Obama with the birther conspiracy?

    Oh. Ok, Mary.

    1. What go around come back around. If you do good in life it👍 will come back around to you.if you do bad things it will falls on your shoulders.show love 💘 ❤ and respect to others 👏 and people will give you respect 🙌 🙏 👍 👏 👌 💯

    2. I don’t think anybody expected anything else from Donald Trump. Like every school yard bully when push comes to shove they are total cowards period Donald Trump thinks by lashing out he’ll escape consequences. In reality I believe the more he does currently the more evidence against him to be used in a court of law. I don’t care if he goes to jail or ends up in front of the firing squad or ends up totally broke as long as he gets Justice. Honestly it would be wonderful if all three happened to him but again I’ll take any one of those

  5. Everyone that tried to influence the election illegally needs to be investigated, and if necessary prosecuted and put behind bars. Don’t **** this up by letting them off the hook.

    1. https://youtu.be/XSjWaz3XQc8
      THE $50 TRILLION DOLLAR SCAM
      GLOBAL WARMING
      The 5 billion year old planets ice cap has melted Dozens of times before and was once occupied by ancient man ,
      Manufacturing has tripled due to technology and cheap labor, Its just not done in America due to liars in Washington DC, THEY COST US $50 TRILLION DOLLARS OVER 40 YEARS AND IMPORTED THE WUHAN VIRUS DURING THE PROCESS

  6. okay, then charge him with negligent homicide for not allowing Biden’s team to get ready to distribute vaccine.

  7. Trump should consider “pardons” for those who may be “guilty” of supporting him for all his alleged “lies”.

    1. Trump should consider “pardons” for those who may be “guilty” of supporting him for all his alleged “lies”.

  8. Democrats will pass a massive stimulus day one. Republicans are holding Americans hostage. Record unemployment, evictions, foreclosure and closed businesses. 😞
