@herctorgeart7921 Yes and no. It took them, like now,, right up to the end to act,,,and he wasn't as much a ,,, messiah figure head, as trump. Cause Trump is a serious loud mouth. That's why he sold the wine to the alcoholics in the people,,still don't really understand the reason the Senate and house Republicans are willing to be castrated by standing by him. With all the obvious,,,paper trail and open publicity and information, we all have, they stay, steadfast in defence|of him. I don't get.

@antdx316 thing is, big business hates this because they may be forced to dip into all those profits that they so happily boast every quarter.
Just like airlines, tourism etc luxury crap. Even hospitals and all med need. There's 0 excuse, for this lack of everything. In the world of nuclear concern? No preparation? They can blame the orange idiot all they want. The individual companies greed is the main problem. Income is soooo welcome, but the thought of having to put a lot of that profit back in, during hard times, is a nono to them. Suddenly the administrators, that rake in the big checks, don't think it's their responsibility to put some back when needed. So suddenly they want to be bailed out. Can we people that don't have money to replace a water heater in our house, without going without something else, watch a ceo, sitting on a billion dollar portfolio, ask to be bailed out by we taxpayers, cause heaven forbid they dip into some of those profit bearing millions, to keep the company whole. This is our world.

Tell me. Back in the days of the ark, God flooded the world, supposedly,, because the people were acting like Trump, Falwell Jr, and many other asshole hypocrites. I know, Jesus supposedly died for the sins of man,,,,but that doesn't mean we go on being a Trump, a Falwell Jr, etc. We supposedly were learning from our mistakes too. And tried,,,to be good. Or at least decent. This shit Falwell spouts about,,, only being human. Being forgiven for our sins. Well hell, we don't need courts, or police, or prison. We're all forgiven for what we do. Right Jerry.

This guys a moron. His analogies are ridiculous. Biden saying, fight covid,, has nothing to do with fighting the CDC duffuss.
Face it, Hawthorne thinks he's another FDR. Sitting in his wheelchair, yelling for uprisel against a free and fair election. After dozens of court attempts and audits that proved there was no fraud. These Republicans like Hawthorne, still try to rile up the crowds to march against the outcome. Hawthorne is a public official. Not just a citizen picketing. That is the case against him. Public officials take an oath, like military men and women, like FBI, etc. In that oath,it says, they shall Not,,, use their power, as an officer of the government,,to incite violence in any manor, against that government. These guys always try to walk a fine line, when they do these little speeches. So not to be able to be accused of breaking that oath. So, now he has to lawyer up,, because he probably did step over the line. And why? Cause he's got ambitions of rolling around in the white house some day, in the capacity of president. And making a name for himself with this show,, that he's got the stuff,,, like FDR. That a wheelchair , won't stop him.

@c.rutherford I checked into his history and according to a Washington post article, his business was doing badly after he left the white house. So they did have to sell out. But it seems retirement pay of 200,000 plus a year, that's far from having to sleep in someones guest room, haha. And now after book sales and such, their worth is around 10 million. I think they bounced back. They say Bill Clinton had similar issues. But they were caused by legal bills. Buut then with speeches, book deals etc, they too are back in the black. We should all be so lucky 😊
But you are right in that, if you have plenty of bucks, you have a better shot at winning.
Of course from what I've heard. Hillary out spent trump. But whether it's so, I'm not sure.
It is sad that campaigns are so expensive. The money they all burn campaigning, is truly disgusting. Like the country couldn't find a better use for the millions they spend each, getting elected. Especially considering it's other people's money. I live in Florida, and got an email from a Dem in Pennsylvania asking for a donation. Just 5 dollars. But we get hit on 30 times a week, asking for 5 dollars. Sorry, that's an electric bill. And that's a week. It never ends. And I know the Republicans are worse. I made the mistake of answering one republican political ad. From that moment, I was a potential donor. I got begs from the Republicans too. But they ask for 250 bucks. Wow. I'm about ready to stop caring about politics. Too old for this crap.

True Hunt Seeings ole Tom isn't around to explain himself,,we probably shouldn't say how he truly felt about black people. Look at our world today. A hell of alot of us work for companies that pay only as much as they have to by law. Black or white or other. Isn't that still a bit o slavery? Lots of, " slaves', were considered as workers,,some as close to the family and maybe even friends. Look back in American history. Our country has always tried to get cheap labor. From our own people or other countries folk. Businesses have always tried to profit off the hard work of workers paid as little as possible to work as hard as they could. But like today,,many employers made their workers at home. Treated them well and probably in some cases gave them rights and help and felt compassion for them. Why do we forget American businesses now would rather pay a Chinese, or indian,or Korean,etc 20 bucks a day to produce goods than keep business here and pay a fair wage. But they don't mind keeping them big profits huh. Oh well.

@jameandthegiantpeach2273 Jame, sometimes we're the problem. But we gotta get off the sidelines, look at the facts, and choose a side.
81 million people voted for Biden, 74 million for Trump. That leaves about 40 million adults, that didn't even vote. And this was a record election. Second only to Obama McCain, in 2008.
I don't know who would have grabbed more of those 40 mill, but at least there'd be a more honest number to go by.
I get sick of hearing, especially the losers saying, " The American people", want what we're pushing, when it's nearly half or not even close to half of us that wants what they're pushing. I'm 67 now, and the first time I actually voted was for Obama. I want our government to work for the benefits of all,,the american people, but if it can't be all, then the majority. Cause we know, there'll always be someone not pleased. And right now, I see that in the Dems,or at least Joe Biden. I'm a registered Dem, but consider myself an independent. And I'd vote for either party that truly want the best for the people that need it, and proves it. I didn't vote for Trump, but thought at least he'd be presidential and do right things. But he proved he was in the republican corner, feining to Mitch McConnell's desires. And we know mcconnell s desires. It took a 2018 election to at least curb mcconnell s reign. Then Trump went into self serving mode.
Oh well, droned on enough. Bolton was a kissass until being one, didn't help him. Bottom line.

@Lydia_editz Only thing now is, we have 12 % of wealthy fucks getting big handouts because why? Sure as hell not because they work really hard. And u know it's funny, sarcastically,, they're taking as much money as probably a big percentage of poor shmucks that though they were getting aid, still lived in poverty. Yeah,,, that's much better. If you've ever worked your ass off 40, 50 hours a week doing construction, and still being at poverty level, you'll maybe understand. Because the rich fucks that got those enormous tax cuts still,,, don't pay their employees much more if any. They are cause they need a new plane or another home somewhere. Sure, there are some that take advantage. But that doesn't mean cut it, and give the money to the already wealthy.
And by the way. It was another one of your gang that screwed over the country, took billions in surplus from Clinton Era, and threw it at military contractors for the war they got us into. Then dug a giant poverty hole that Obama had to dig us out of. Nice how your side always fucks up the works, then walks off and let's dems fix it. All the while you bitch because poor people get help.

Kinda true. It's a double edge sword alright. People need to view it as,,,,, personal opinion, and then think for themselves. I think for the most part, they do. SM just gives people who've not had an outlet, a way to protest. The world has always had,,,the instigators. People trying to get others to do their biding for them. We've elected some of these people to be our representatives. They've felt like power and use it for their own benefit.
