    1. Power corrupts. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. You all need to look to your history books to realise what is happening. Everything negative that has been said about trump is true. Let that sink in then recognise his followers intention becomes clear, especially in the GOP.

    1. I think its obvious at this point that Trump was told to undermine the election, and keep it in the courts. I mean, who would ever do something like this to his own country?

    1. @low key Exactly. trumptys had 12 failed business’s, 5 bankruptcies. He is a professional master of bankruptcy, and now trying to destroy our democracy. U.S. national debt 25 trillion dollars as of August 2020. It was 19 trillion dollars when trumpty was inaugurated in 2017.

    2. Government is not a business. We (the people) underwrite our common interests with government irrespective of profit, based solely on our collective priorities. Fire departments are an excellent example to illustrate this point. Fire protection in our communities is not something that can be a profitable business but we all agree, as a group, we want this amenity so we all pitch in for it. That’s what government does, the stuff that can’t or shouldn’t be operated on a for-profit basis.
      Now all of this doesn’t mean that government shouldn’t be run as competently and efficiently as possible. Excellent performance in the public sector is something we as taxpayers have to insist on and hold public servants accountable for. THIS is why we have elections.

    3. Well especially by a well known failed businessman and con artist. Should have been a huge red flag that no single bank in America will deal with the tRump.

  1. SCOTUS on Texas lawsuit: It’s a Hail Mary, there it is, it’s in the air almost there, oh no the case was swatted away.

    1. And now we’ve got yet another moron here in Texas that is set to file to have Texas Secede!
      Watch Texas become the epicenter of Maga hostility just like the Biden bus they were so nicely “escorting”. Bubbas gonna be hoping in the backs of pickups throwing hissy fits.

    1. @Suzy Qualcast Britain is smaller than a lot of our states. They just approved it and we are right behind them.

  2. I thought no one wanted a forced vaccine from Biden. Trump is forcing the Pfizer vaccine it through the FDA. Hypocrisy!

    1. @Louis Burns I just watch the first couple of minutes and then research them…if I don’t find anything I atleast can tell what I should believe or what to research more…

  3. Strange how critical this vaccine has become for a virus that was qualified as fake no more than 6 months ago.

    1. I agree, who would be naive enough to take a vaccine which has less than a year of testing! Make Trump and the Republicans the long term testing group!

    2. @Ptguy0618 “Oh so now you’re anti vaxx?”

      If local independent labs are able to review the vaccines and release their findings on their efficacy, then we would have more faith in the results. We don’t trust things at a federal level with the Trump administration and their campaign of misinformation

    1. Make Trump and the Republicans the long term testing group! If they survive after 3 years let the rest of us take it. Of course there will be herd immunity by then! Why is Trump forcing this on America?

    2. He is doing this because America was not first to give out the vaccine. Operation warp speed because operation left in the dust.

    1. He is a mafia boss . Why do you think his puppets are all afraid to speak in opposition. 106 republicans now are exposed as being part of a coup .

    2. That is what happened when you elect one. A failed businessman with well known ties to shady people. Made his money by stealing from banks not paying his bills and robbing American people by not paying his taxes. Can you imagine how many more thing could be out there for the people with All the tax money missed out on.

    1. paul walker I really truly pray that you are healed… I’m very saddened that you would say such a horrific thing to me. Just because I don’t believe her refuse to take a vaccine does not Mean that I don’t believe that the virus is real and don’t take it seriously. I’m probably one of the most masked, careful people I know when it comes to this virus. So I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t make assumptions about me but rather question and be curious about why I may not trust in the vaccine. In complete seriousness here… I don’t know if you are at home or in the hospital, but I urge you to take zinc vitamin C and D3 in the highest dose is possible permitted based on your body weight per day with lots of water. I know that this is a concoction that they were giving to Covid patients back in the very beginning when this first started and there is research that supports that people that are vitamin D deficient are more susceptible to developing Covid and having worse symptoms. Please be careful. Please get well. My parents are very high risk as they are both smokers. They are 62 and 65 years old. My dad has COPD and asthma. I have probably been one of the most sympathetic to all persons since this virus started. I worry more about others than myself. So just a little bit of advice and wisdom… Just because a person has a different opinion about one thing doesn’t make them a bad human being when it comes to something else. I can promise you that I probably care more about you and the fact that you’re suffering from this virus then probably many people that you know that are in your life. Many many prayers sir and blessings please get well soon!

    3. paul walker I see that you were extremely careful as I have been… do you have any idea or suspect where or how you may have contracted it? Lack of ventilation at work? Dining outdoors? Any idea at all? Who do you believe contracted it first, you or your wife?

    4. @Whitney Thomas Thanks Whitney and my best wishes to your Dad. I hope it all turns out OK,. Virtually all medicine is a risk for the body and many everyday drugs have long-term impacts …the folks you speak of have been made nervous by the anti-scientific nonsense poisoning the country…its not just covid and immunisation..its climate change too for eg. If you don’t tackle that then this will just be the beginning…viruses, bacteria, tick borne diseases..the planet won’t be kind to us if we cannot find a new balance.
      Take care, stay well and again best wishes to your father.

    5. @GingeR LoX We have a large Hispanic family who doesn’t have the luxury of quarantine. Over half of us got the virus, my parents got it, my sister and several of the cousins also had the virus. No deaths. Fevers and coughs but thank God no one died and we were able to be part of the 99.5% of virus survivors! We had around 20 people total who got sick, a few over 65 and one over 80. All are now immune.

    1. I SO AGREE, HE DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANOTHER RUN IN 2024, WE COULD REALLY START TO BREATHE AGAIN! HE HAS GOT TO GO!!!

    1. @Mika Elizondo”yes you see, it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on them…” With poor Dr Birx sitting alone on the side, her head down in shame and embarrassment. Trump has left a treasure trove, a virtual library of foolishness for all history to view
