  1. No, Mr. President, the whole world is not "laughing at our electoral process." The whole world is laughing at you.

  2. Why is bail even an option for this person? He's a murderer.
    333
  3. Thank you, Lieutenant Byrd, for your service.

  4. Chris Hansen to Governor Cuomo: Have a seat, please.

  5. Why are they even asking this squatter if he will concede? It makes no difference. The country has moved on and so will Don...whether he likes it or not.

  6. I agree with Mr. Alexander. A responding police officer must be willing to put himself/herself in harm's way and give up their life possibly. If they are unwilling, then they should sit behind a desk or find another line of work. The responding officers failed miserably.

  7. The lesson from Afghanistan is that we should never try to impose our democratic, capitalistic principles on someone who doesn't want it.
    155
  8. Republicans created this out-of-control Frankenstein and now regret doing so. Who knows what's lurking for us in the next 10 days.
    139
  9. Predictably, we're seeing shameless price gouging by the petroleum companies, hotels, restaurants, etc. knowing the American public's desire to get out finally. Good ol' American capitalism.

  10. Clearly the country did not have the infrastructure in place and was not prepared for the logistical challenges of this vaccine distribution. But it appears to be improving every day.

  11. In this week of remembrance, let us not forget that it was two republican senators. Rand Paul and Mike Lee, who tried in 2019 to block attempts to permanently fund the 9-11 Victims Fund. Thank you Jon Stewart.

  12. I'm sure there are security surveillance cameras all over that apartment building. If they could find that deputy's killer up in Palmdale in less than 24-hours...
    83
  13. If drug approval was halted for less than 100% efficacy, drug shelves would be empty. We live in a world of probabilities and risk.
    78
  14. Georgia attorneys probably had a hard time containing their laughter. The world has moved on and this is very sad indeed.
    53
  15. This country has never been more divided. There is nothing "United" about these states.
    51
  16. And then a certain ethnic group turns around and asks why they are "unfairly" profiled.

  17.  @DowntownLAKid  If it wasn't for the electoral college, this vermin would not have won in the first place back in 2016.
    47
  18. Former President Bush has the chutzpah to complain about the divisiveness that him and Cheney ushered in to the country and 21st century politics.
    46
  19. Republicans love to talk about tightening the borders, etc. But they really don't mean it as most large Fortune 500 companies are run by republicans and they just love exploiting illegal labor to fatten their profit margins. Out here in the southwest, the economy would come to a crashing halt sans illegal labor (retail, tourism, housing, agriculture, etc.). The minute the Walton Family or Broad Family come out in favor of tighter border security, I'll believe the republicans are actually serious about this issue.
    46
  20. "Na na na na...na na na na...hey hey hey...goodbye.."
    41
  21. Everything Dr. Osterholm has predicted has come to fruition.
    41
  22. Adam Kinzinger is a brave soul and would have made a wonderful republican presidential candidate...40 years ago. The party is now too radicalized and far right, with spineless leadership.
    40
  23. I just wish we could have strapped Cruz and Trump on that NASA explorer that reached MARS today and dropped them off there.
    39
  24. Wanna guess the majority demographic in that area? Anyone?
    39
  25. New York police and firefighters are supposed to be part of the solution, not the problem.
    31
  26. It's clear the police acted in a cowardly manner.
    30
  27. Why even have a republican guest on the show? They suspend or spin reality and gaslight.
    26
  28. "My business has been a tremendous success." (Cue the laugh track).
    26
  29. Man, this year is off to a great start!
    24
  30. These are the same people who "peacefully" protested in the summer of 2020 and walked out of retail stores with both hands full of merchandise.
    23
  31. Are we supposed to feel sorry for all these companies waiting for their cheap imported goods? These "supply chain" issues are a sad indictment on how American companies have gutted the middle class by shamelessly exporting most of their manufacturing jobs to China and other countries--all for the purpose of seeking out the cheapest labor and fattening profits. I say let the ships stay out there in the middle of the ocean in perpetuity.
    22
  32. Some parents are so ignorant they pose a serious health risk themselves to their children.
    22
  33. As usual, republicans are only concerned with budgets and deficit spending when a democrat is in office. Not a peep from them when Trump was cutting taxes and acting as if $ grew on trees.
    22
  34. Never thought in my lifetime I'd see something like this on U.S. soil.
    21
  35. I'm sure Al Sharpton and LeBron James will be making statements soon condemning this horrible crime...oh, nevermind.
    21
  36. History will show Lieutenant Byrd acted like a hero.
    19
  37. Recent supply chain issues have reminded me of why we should buy American-made products instead.
    19
  38. How is this election even close? America has bigger problems than covid, I'm afraid.
    19
  39. Such a proud nation, I feel horrible for Japan hosting what promises to be a forgetful Olympics.
    19
  40. Must be a slow news day if R. Kelly is the lead story. Who really cares?
    18
  41. Maybe someone should remind the black voters the slew of promises President Joe Biden fulfilled to Jim Clyburn, such as selecting Kamala Harris as his running mate and nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. And blaming the administration for your shortcomings is very lame indeed.
    18
  42. It's funny how republicans enjoy driving on nice roads, and breathing clean air, and sending their kids to the best schools. They just don't like paying for any of it.
    17
  43. This will only further divide us as a nation, pitting one state against the other. My guess is red states will next try to restrict or eliminate interstate travel and tighten state borders. This is awful.
    16
  44. Michael Osterholm's warnings are chilling indeed. Can it get worse than what we've already been through?
    16
  45. Ken Peters: This country was founded on freedom from religious persecution. There, fixed it.
    16
  46. I agree 100%. Police mentality is to shoot first and ask questions later.
    15
  47. Most pathetic statement ever made by a lame duck president: “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state."
    14
  48. Chuck Todd needs to improve his interviewing skills. If I had a dollar for every time he interrupted POTUS, I'd be a millionaire.
    14
  49. The police officer should have emptied his clip at these people...especially the one who appeared to bite him.
    13
  50. I just don't understand why healthcare workers, of all people, are refusing or are unwilling to get a vaccine shot. It's like an atheist preaching the word of god.
