  1. Alllll, of this. And everyone of them walked away without a scratch. And now looking for a second run. Insane.

  2.  @virginiatyree6705  So right Virginia. It's amazing how many still now , hang on to trumps coat tails. Maybe after 2024.

  3.  @stevesmith8693  please name those great things that helped people. 3 will be okay. 10. But not the tax breaks. That's already been proven to have been the same thing every republican president does. And it always primarily benefits people who are already well off.

  4. So, where is Rosenstein now? Was he a plant to begin with,, or a puppet and now living in a richie lifestyle in some other place?

  5. My mom grew up in Germany during the war and the Hitler years and the similarities between Hitler and Putin are insane. Both started as minions, doing everything saying it's for the country, its economy and standing in the world. My wife calls their behavior as , shortman syndrome. Problem always is advisors. On top of the already desire to be something, if you hire advisors with ideas of their own, for power and financial gain, it grows and gets outta hand.

  6. I really don't think their all that way. They do have to do the work their state needs. Some just fight the wrong way, for the wrong people. Well, u get my drift. But as they progress, in their needed tasks, they probably do find short cuts that make their life easier. But, if they don't run their states well and keep a majority happy, they can be gone just as quick. So they have to care some. And some really care. Just hard to see it cause we're in our own world too. Working, paying bills, raising a family.

  7. Id say McConnell and others that wanted 1 thing, new right Wing Justices appointed. Knowing damn well if Clinton had won, 3 new Justices would have been liberal. At least 2 for sure. After that they kept trump pretty much in line. Withstanding his money grabs. Bottom line. Trump is a cancer of corruption. He basically corrupts everyone in his circle.

  8.  @virginiatyree6705  Well, I've come to the conclusion, no matter how u treat your body, certain chemical arrangements in each of us aren't diet related. It just is. At least so far as science has come so far. That's why heavy smokers live to be 100, and teetotalers go at 70. Or even earlier. But in trumps case, you remember the old saying, Only the good die young.

  9.  @raymondmiller5098  Yeah, I'd say after Bush economy," more than soured". I'm a small one man remodeler. During Clinton, my bank account went from a few hundred, to 16 thousand. Work was steady and people were doing well enough that I was turning down work. Then came W. My very small business went down by the year. People weren't getting work done. I was scrounging just to keep the bills paid. Obama came in, and even with McConnell swearing to keep him stagnant, he did get things back on their feet. So its so clear that maybe we don't even need Republicans. Because every cycle, they screw things up so badly, that it takes the first several years to just pull the country out of the mud. There'll still be people that disagree, but they will be Dems or whatever. Dems are versatile. Republicans are stuck in the mud, because they follow a slug like Moscow Mitch,s leadership like sheep. Right over the cliff. As long as the wealthy make it, that's the Republicans way. As for other countries, Germany, GB, and others. They have their upsets, politicians that are crooked, people that are disgusted with their life too. Yes, they have health care and better retirement benefits. But still just get by. I was born in Germany and have relatives there. They tell me. I came here at age 4, with my mom and adopted soldier dad, that brought us here. I've worked my whole adult life after 6 years in the army. Following my dad as a carpenter. Raised 2 of my own kids and 2 of my wife's kids from her first marriage. We never had a lot. I built our house after 12 years of apartment living. Always worked hard. But seeing not of difference with Republicans and Dems as presidents. Until I worked for myself. Then u notice the difference. I truly hope people get out and vote blue, even with prices up. Republicans will NOT!, do anything to fix it. During Republicans, we still outsourced. Companies still moved to foreign labor. We cannot let them lie their way back to control. Except for the supreme Court, things can be fixed. If they get fixed enough, maybe even the supreme Court can be dealt with. We shouldn't abandon ship. I believe we're in the majority and should press that point.

  10. Yes,yes,yes. And he said in the same interview that people who got captured he doesn't respect. That's why he didn't respect John McCain. And yes he called soldiers idiots and losers, for fighting for the country. They should be businessmen.

  11.  @justiceforsethrichwwg1wga160  O M G! Somebody has Trump sheep sickness. Sad that there's more than only one of u. But Hitler, Mussolini, etc had many sheep too.

  12.  @surgec  Trump did nothing but expand separatism. His open...allowance, of showing things u ponder in your deep feelings, tells people, say what you think, no matter how it may hurt others.

  13. I'm sorry but Barr was exactly as his critics said. An enabler. Anyone who truly cared about democracy would have never...followed trump thru the events of the last year and a half of trumps term. U may know Barr personally, and maybe he's different as a man, but as an AG, he failed. Because he defended lie after lie that trump wanted to be true but wasn't.

  14.  @fitzalbertbryden3301  I know mine is write about 80% of the time. Wouldn't be fair to say 100. And she says I'm fair. I know she does because every night i ask, how was it,,,she says," fair".

  15.  @raymondmiller5098  I'm still hopeful we win in 24, and fight to hold the trend of democracy America was founded on. I realize it's never been perfect. There's always descent. The unhappy or even angry. You can't have 300 million people, all satisfied, all the time. And as population grows, even harder to make everyone happy. But, if we fall into an authoritarian government, all the progress goes to pot. I've known for years, really since McConnell has been leader of the Republicans in the Senate, that there's been a fight for an authoritarian style government. McConnell works for the people in the background. My opinion. That don't want want democracy. They've been around since the assassination of Kennedy. Big money folks that hide in the dark, and try to make America theirs. Why else do elections blow so much money. It's just buying the offices.

  16. Your son's were exactly right. If you have to go, go with honor. I may not agree with your politics cause I think Republicans are wrong with their policies. Just as I don't agree with everything Dems say either. But in all honesty Republicans stand for a trickle down type government and Democrats work more for the average citizen. But in this case you went down in honor. There's always a job out there for honorable people.

  17. Yeah, Sessions knows too much. They have to keep him in house. The old saying...keep your friends close, your enemies closer, is in line with Sessions.

  18. Face it, the Republicans did not want Hillary to get elected because she knew her shit. They loved trump because he was a buffoon. They could waltz him around like a puppet just by praising him. A few pats on the back and way to goes, and another judge, another tax credit for millionaires. Another bill signed without a touch of reading. Hillary would have questioned everything, read everything. They did not,,want that.
    2
  19. You have to remember. The Republicans under McConnell, have been at war with Dems way before trump. Trump just brought it to a head with his exaggerating it 10 fold. The only difference is the Republicans were doing it in the background. Trumps ego built the army of the cultists. That's why the rest of the Republicans cater to him.
    2
  20. Personally I think the realistic Republican party has been gone since Mitch McConnell became the leader of the Republican Senate. He's an egotistical power monger. It took many years for him to succeed. Obama put him over the edge. He hated Obama and openly showed it. At that time I think the real Republican party disappeared.

  21.  @catherinekasmer9905  exactly. That's probably the number one reason for Republicans. And now they've achieved it.

  22. This is an old story but it shows trump and his gang to what they are, and always have been. Sleaze 2.0. Still wondering why Comey went after Hillary. Knowing damn well it was beneficial to a crooked SOB like trump.

  23. Yeah, adoption of Russian children. Right donnie. Loser.

  24.  @virginiatyree6705  Hey V, I'm sure there are several considerations to emotional and physical outcome. According to the news, trump doesn't drink because of family member issues. But, then we hear he does some kind of drug use, explaining why he's up and down with his behavior, speech and ability to read the monitors, etc. As for dementia and and other natural chemical things we go through as we age, i don't know what the statistics are on that. But those things we accept, because we all go through that to some degree. Did you catch Joe Biden on Jimmie Kimmel? He certainly is getting into the old man ramble trait. But I'll tell ya. As bad as that may be. He still is smarter and more well spoken than 45 has ever been. And, knows his shit. Personally I don't care as much about the age thing. Trump was and is, just bad for America. And we truly need to make sure he doesn't get another foothold in government. So we must vote blue in November. And try to make sure as many people as we can get to vote with us. To make sure, Republicans don't get the majority either. Thanks V.

  25.  @virginiatyree6705  Hey Virginia, the 9,99, and other abbreviations are biblical i think. So I think he's saying, your words are righteous. No, I'm not smart. I looked it up.

  26.  @virginiatyree6705  Your so right about Kellyann. But shes been that way for way before, " the former guy". She's been a right wing talking head for a long time . This is her first, in house, gig. She probably feels she owes 45 more. She is a wiz at double talk. Question with a question. Still a sleaze. Doing it for a scumbag like djt.

  27.  @virginiatyree6705  Agreed 👍

  28.  @virginiatyree6705  Especially considering he or she, wrote it like 3 times.

  29.  @raymondmiller5098  Yeah, I don't disagree. I to am in hope that maybe, one of the rising stars in the Dem party bursts forth for 24. I agree, Biden won't run, same reason. And yeah, though Harris is both smart and capable of being president, she couldn't win. Honestly, any black female would have been a better choice than Harris. I know Biden promised, but choosing the woman who so bashed him in the debates? Come on. And her constant play on her personal traumatic upbringing...the poor me routine isn't a good way to go. Anyway, that'll be our savior in 24, finding a really good speaker, with the fire to grab the voters. You're so correct about the right going totally authoritarian, is a problem for a good democratic government. That's definitely going to be something that has to be dealt with. But for the life of me, I can't understand it. These are people we elect, to supposedly, as a group, deal the day to day governmental needs. But they're so busy, playing games, and now the crazies are in control. Well kinda. The thing about it is, this kinda stuff, comes and goes and life goes on. We probably just need to do what our jobs are, vote when the time comes and let them do what they're going to do anyway. I've worked all my life to just get by. No president made it easier or better, cept maybe Clinton. And now people are bashing him about things he did. But as a working stiff, I did the best during his 8 years. And never the same after or before. You may well be right in your predictions. We all just need to do our jobs and vote to at least keep the Republicans at bay, as well as possible.

  30. How the hell can they say Obama divided the country? His approval rating was like 66 % or better. 66%. There's only 100%. Trump's approval rating is was at it's not best 49% to and way lower when he got FIRED! The man, if you can call him that, is walking slime with hair implants that don't work.

  31. Ya know thinking about the whole situation on the 6th, maybe the plan was to make pence run. Then he couldn't read the results of the election. Postponement. The wish of the plan still succeeds. But pence doesn't officially not read the votes. Then it's up in the air. So up until the votes are made official, trump is still, the president. So putting it that way, Pence is doing the right thing, despite all the secret planning.

  32. Robert, You nailed it 💯%. Trump will never change for the better. Forever downward. All I can say is, we non trumpers have, fight as well. We may be passive, but just like any animal pushed, we can push back. Maybe more than they're ready for.

  33. Graham is an attention seeker period. He wanted it from McCain and now trump he goes after other attention seekers for that pat on the back, maybe more. Graham needs to come out. Maybe he won't be so needy.

  34. I'm sorry Adam but the republican party has been constitutionally awash for 40 years. Mitch McConnell has been the president of the Senate since the 90s, and that was the turning point of democracy in America. His lopsided desire for ultimate control is not what our forefathers wanted for the country. And he's forced the laws to go one sided since he's been leader. If that doesn't change there may be a true uprising in America that is not Republicans vs Democrats, but the people against the government as a whole. People won't be chanting kill pence or Biden or any particular party. Just, we're damn sick of the bullshit. You people talk a good game, always at election time. But the moment your in that cushy 200 thou a year job, its how can we appease the 2% and make sure they are happy. And trickle down happens all over. Look at it this way. How would it be if everyone in the US doesn't pay their taxes. State or government. Of course by that time, everyone has paid in weekly, biweekly or quarterly. So maybe that won't work. Anyway, I know if all of us working stiffs out pool our resources, maybe you'll do something about unfair taxes, unfair wages, just all around unfairness to the 85% of us who make less than 80 thou a year.

  35. Much thanks for bringing these truly,, world important facts to the people. Actually disgraceful to see initially pristine waterways, turned into sewers. But hearing usually Republican's, say things like, " We don't need government to tell us anything, we need to use the honor system", including such wonderful presidents like Nixon and Reagan, then do nothing, really. Is truly disgusting.

  36.  @donaldmiller8629  No, I haven't. I guess you didn't listen much to the narration, and what president decided, we don't need regulations or watchdogs to make sure things like major pollution, didn't run rampant. Predominantly Republicans. But I know you trump sheep are gonna go blaming Biden and the Dems, cause we just happen to hold the majority,right now. But if you'd look farther than the end of djts orange beak, you'd hear, Biden is putting in lots of environmental ideas and moves. Where orange Julius, took down those projects, Dems always try to reinstall them. So shove your right wing, tape recorded 2 cents worth. Cause it don't fly, when the facts are right there.

  37. This is like a dajavue to 2020 accusations from trump. Except in a dictatorship, the autocrat still wins.

  38.  @kathyhardee2398  Really? Which ones do you remember so vividly that are so etched in your mind? How about when Obama wore that horrible, tan suit? Think about it. During both Clinton's 8 years and Obama's 8 years. The country was never as internally in as constant hate and turmoil, as the lousy 1 ,4 year horrific term of djt. And though Bill did a no no with Monica and then tried to deny it. He eventually fessed up and apologized. Anything that Hillary was accused of, as secretary of state was found to be just another bunch of hyped up false right wing attacks. 45, still claims, it was everyone, except him. Even throughout the Stormy Daniels event. Your comparison. Not worth the time to try.

  39.  @christmastree5496  Just keep wrapping yourselves in the flag while your fuhrer steps all over it and the constitution, while he cosies up to every dictator in the world. And why? To have deals to make on their soil. Even subliminally, he made the comment that the shores of NK, would make a good place for a hotel. Yeah, where we go 1. Meaning him, nobody else. All you idiots that think trump is your best bud, and he's gonna invite you to Mar Lago for breakfast and a round of golf. Think again. The only way you're getting to Mar Lago is, toss a few grand in the kitty. That may get you a night at his hotel.

  40. Trump is the most disgusting, crooked slug. Ever to have a position in our government. There are many disgusting politicians, but at least they aren't traitors. Trump takes disgust to another level. Listen to him talk to himself, while trying to look like he's in charge. Ugh. Sickening.

  41.  @karenmainor4275  Yes I know sessions is gone now. My comment was i believe referring to the period the topics were discussing. Far as I remember. But thanks.

  42.  @breadfan9  Because we have so much turmoil in the country thru people that still believe trump walks on water. These are showing solid Republicans speaking truth, in hopes it calms some of the animosity that trump created unreasonably to Americans that still think trump really won the election and it was stolen from him by whomever he names at the moment. Biden is doing and has been doing everything possible to make things better for Americans and our allies. He's obviously not being ignored. There is always criticism . So you're basically saying a non truth.
    1
  43.  @breadfan9  So your saying in the past you couldn't lose your job? No-one is saying the Dems and Biden are miracle workers and all their doings are perfect. But they're trying. And all the negative happenings you are spouting, have happened despite who's in the white house. But how many, help related programs are presented by Republicans ? None. It's all trickle down. Give money to the wealthy and it comes back to the people. Not. Biden has had just as good and better, jobs record as trump ever had. Trump also inherited a thriving economy. Biden inherited a mess. Which is typical of the Republican Dem administration cycle. Republicans cause the mess, Dems have to fix it.
    1
  44.  @breadfan9  You don't see programs, created and passed bills that sat in the minds of people for years that have been passed the last 2years? You need to watch less fox talking heads and oan and do some research of your own. It's all out there. Do some google research.
    1
  45.  @breadfan9  These bills have helped Americans. The gun bill will help save lives. A bill no Republican would touch because they don't have the guts to oppose the gun lobby. Where would you rather have taxpayers money go but help people in need. Student loan aid. Helps college educated people a little with on going interest accumulating balance. I agree the 125 thou cap seems unfair. I would have rather seen it more like 70 thou cap . But not every college grad comes out earning 6 figures. And the ones that get even higher education will be paying even more for their upgrade. So a 10,000 dollar break help's them move forward into a higher degree. Allowing them to get those degrees that will benefit them and who they may help in the future. Did you bitch when trump signed bills for wealthy turds getting tax breaks? Probably not. There's nothing wrong with you seeing wrongs in bills signed by Biden. But don't be a hypocrite putting his signing bills u think are not for all, and stand silently when a republican president does the same or worse.

  46.  @breadfan9  the pipeline has 0 to do with American oil. It's a line from Canada to Mexico. He has not changed any of the policies at the border and we are actually catching more drug input that trump ever did. You need to get off the oan headline news and start doing some research. I'm out.

  47. How u can say McConnell is a,,, decent person. He fought Obama at every turn. He buried bills that could have helped millions of mid and average Americans. He sat intentionally on Obama's opportunity to place a supreme Court justice. McConnell is just as evil as trump. You're just like many anilyizers of politics. You're opinions aren't always right.

  48.  @The_Raven_1025  Man, it came right from the orange horses mouth. We don't have to know any servicemen to know trump is a sick sob that talks before he thinks, then he's worse when he thinks. How many professional psychoanalysts, and even writers that have witnessed his actions for 4 years and longer, have to testify , before more people see the real djt. For a person that's had it easy, his whole life. Handed millions of dollars, practically handed the business his daddy started. He's turned into a selfish, hateful, biggoted, egotistical sob. Maybe it's his upbringing, who truly knows. Does he have a shrink? Probably not. Too full of ego to admit anything to anyone. He should have never been elected. He's failed to many things in his life, to be responsible for running a country. He doesn't want to learn anything, because he truly believes, he's smart enough to do anything. But he's not. He doesn't truly care about all the people who put him on a pedestal. They're pawns. Pawns for money. Pawns for votes. Pawns to boost his ego, when it's strained by people who see the real jerk he is, and are willing to speak out. Vote blue in 22, and show him, the majority of us want him gone.
    1
  49.  @christinel6616  He has no soul. All he's ever cared about is money and limelight. Then when he became president he loved the power. Remember how many times he says, " They came to me and said, Sir ". He's never had that much respect shown him in his life. But I don't think he has respect for the office of the presidency. If he did, he'd never say anything bad about the troops. A president should show nothing but appreciation for the soldiers. He's just an ass.

  50. Graham is a needy bastard. When McCain died, graham was lost. He probably sat home and made the decision that he wasn't going to befriend any of the other senators, cause maybe he's not their cup of tea. Personally I think graham is gay. And many of the senators know it,or think it too. Who's left? Trump. And if it's anything Graham is, is loyal to his boyfriends. So loyalty to trump is easy, he's the boss. Graham may be a smart person , but he's an emotional mess. I think because he's in the closet.
