  1.  abc123   Which part of, "not some BS opinion you've pulled out of your ass" do you not understand?

  2.  abc123   You don't understand the meaning of 'data'? I hear ppl's opinions all the time, but pay little attention to them because of ppl like you. FYI, some crabs are called hermits, but not all hermits are crabs. I live in a 4 bdrm house on a 5 acre parcel. BTW, today I've noticed a bunch of my comments from yesterday are gone. Are yours?

  5. It's not just about defeating don Trump (he's a very amusing entertainer). It's all about kicking a corrupt self-serving mob boss and his henchmen out of the Oval Office. That is absolutely un-American and intolerable, so it outweighs petty differences of policies between the candidates. Trump has to be held accountable for his criminal behavior. It's not personal, it's the person. Bloomberg is the only candidate capable of overcoming DNC/MSM obstructions and sidelining. Both will be eating out of his hand, before the end of the primaries. Otherwise, Trump will trample their chosen nominee, take control of the House, and complete his coup against our nation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_1T_xPpAwo&list=WL&index=3 Bloomberg 2020! 🤙

  6. Bloomberg's ads immediately placed Bloomberg @ 6% in the polls, ahead of half of the field. Other candidates who are less funded and less experienced are only spinning their wheels and wasting their time on little town hall events, while others are speaking to audiences of 20,000. The messages of Bloomberg's ads are also very effective at dispelling the myth that all wealth is corrupt. No one would have imagined that 'patriotic' Americans would ever elect a corrupt mob boss as POTUS, either. But, they did.

  7. Interest rate hikes only hurt those needing to borrow. Today's online job market has nothing to do with Powell's obsolete Republican conomics. Powell is holding interest rates high to sabotage Biden's administration, leading up to the election. American voters only care about inflation, which has already been addressed. Can't allow Dems to win. Both Powell should be fired for his politicall motivated policies. The cowardly A G Garland should be fired for enabling MAGA to sabotage our House. If he hadn't been so willfully ignorant for 2 years, we wouldn't be worried over more tRumpism. tRump should hve been in prison years ago, instead of STILL free to rebel rouse

  11.  @templar1060  That proves absolutely nothing about President Biden being in on some scam. That was tRump and his mob, who are being indicted, one by one, until the DoJ reaches their godfather, the don. Joe Biden is a good decent honest man, who has served his nation most of his life and still is. YOU WTF up!

  14.  @keksi6844  Please provide your sources to those figures. I watch this stuff everyday and haven't seen any reporting about ransoms being paid. But, several reports have been made regarding Taliban funds being sanctioned by western banks over human rights abuses and their terrorist classification. IMO, if the Taliban were paid anything it was with their own money, in exchange for released hostages. But, AFAIK, the Taliban never said that the passengers in the airplanes were being held as hostages, only that some passengers Afghans w/o proper credentials to leave.

  15.  @davidwethington9320  AFAIK, and according to multiple reports, one of the original Taliban leaders was freed from a Pakistani prison by Pompeo, who cut the deal to free the other 5000 terrorists and to withdraw our troops by 5/1/21, provided the Taliban agreed to a truce to stop attacking US troops until that withdrawal date. If the US didn't pull out, there would be reprisal beheadings until we were out. That gave the Taliban plenty of time to plan their resurgence to power, which they executed, without any resistance. tRump was only concerned with minimizing the troop death tolls during his campaign's runup to the 2020 election. Then, Biden would be left holding the hot turd of executing the withdrawal and would be left with the stink. One of tRump's more successful schemes, IMO. But, it still didn't get him reelected, did it? LMAO!

  16.  @MattSpoon07  I get most of my info straight from the WH briefing room and multiple MSM channels, but pay little attention to talking heads and political hacks. I listen to what reputable officials say during their interviews. Of course that excludes Faux and Congressional Republicans, who lie their asses off just to appease their master tRump.

  17.  @davidwethington9320  Oh yeah, Obama only released those terrorists into the authorities in Qatar, because he was trying to shutdown Gitmo, over those leaked reports of prisoner torturing, water boarding, and pictures of a female soldier standing over a prisoner with a dog's collar on. All of that, along with no trials made Gitmo against the Geneva Convention. Those leaked reports outraged Muslims and became a threat to our national security, possibly provoking another 9/11. So, Obama made every effort to close Gitmo. Leaders only need armies in order to fight their wars. Great leaders use diplomacy, instead of resorting to military might. Wars do far more harm than good, IMO. The ME wars have only served to bring our great nation to it's knees, economically, morally, and emotionally. Yet, none of them even happened inside our borders to be experienced at first hand.

  18.  @durkadurka5044  I'm very happy to discuss whatever I said in my numerous comments with this 44 comment thread that you find so objectionable, but you're going to have to give me a better clue than, "Wrong." FYI, I'm not into 'wrong' only truth.

  22.  @turboturtle5575  That's simple not true. He has been keeping families in their homes, feeding their children, and providing extended unemployment checks to the unemployed, plus much, much more. IF you are a US citizen, then you have received thousands of dollars worth of stimulus checks. How can you be so ungrateful by saying such a thing. Ever heard the old saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you?" You'll soon be receiving another $1400 stimulus check, but with your negative attitude, you should send it back, just out of principle.

  23.  @Lawlzinator  That's not true. Inflation is caused by increased demand vs insufficient supply, because suppliers can increase their prices under those conditions. At the moment, the supply chain has been temporarily disrupted by COVID, shutdowns, and 1 1/2 years of decreased spending. Manufacturers, middlemen, and shipping companies have reduced their stocks and laid off employees. Some have shut down altogether. So, supply has been reduced. Now, things are returning to normal, consumers are less frightened of the future and spent up purchasing has skyrocketed, but the supply lines need to be restored and suppliers are trying to recoup their losses by jacking up their prices. Yes, I just paid ~75% more for my groceries. The fed doesn't control the free market. It only has one tool to effect inflation, the interest rates of government loans. But, interest rates have already been set to historic lows, so what can the fed do?

  25.  @jeeperspeepers8323  Stop the both sides BS. They are absolute opposites regarding legality, morality, governance, authoritarianism, humanitarian aide, gun violence, climate change, education, healthcare... They are the Yin and Yang of politics, struggling against each other. The more extreme one side is, the more extreme the other resists. Today's Republicans fight to serve a lawless, self-serving traitor. Democrats are fighting for personal freedoms, law & order, human decency, the environment, the well being of future generations, providing healthcare, social security for the elderly. If you don't understand these differences, then you're being willfully ignorant and should stay away from political conversations.

  26. The MAGA trolls are so scared that they're all here, swarming like hornets to inject their weirdo poisonous barbs to take this patriotic campaign down, on behalf of Putin, Xi, Kim, and their 34 count felon, with $1/2 Billion legal fines. /smh

  27. The Taliban submitted to our political presure. They need our help far more than we need them.

  28. Who cares? I've never wanted, needed, nor will ever have a Twit's account. Why is Musk, an inventor of high tech technology, even interested in owning Twitter? Is he only picking up on tRump's failed goal to own a social media platform? Is Musk doing this for tRump or himself? Does Elon Musk have a political agenda to run for POTUS in 2024? IMO, he should stick to solving technological challenges and keep his personal politics to himself. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Musk's genius. But, we don't need another ideological authoritarian know-it-all oligarch reengineering our society to suit his personal objectives.

  29.  @gocardinals8887  Not in this video. I just wasted another 5 minutes reviewing it and there was only a nebulous mention that he wasn't doing it for money, but 'other reasons'. But, I'll look around the internet for Musk's own explanation. BR

  30. Not this caring administration, which has stopped the COVID pandemic with nationwide FREE vaccinations, EXTENDED unempployment benefits, eviction moratoriums, stimulus checks, SNAP for children out of school, 40% less child poverty, 14 million more jobs created, $15 federal minimum wages (with private employers following suite), lowering inflation, student loans forgiven, ... Reaganomics is all about tax breaks for the filthy rich, while social services are reduced and our national debt skyrocketing, no thanks to Bush's wars of lies about non-existent WMDs and scapegoating the Taliban over his failure to get Bin Laden. WTF is your problem? Uniting and strengthening NATO to defend Ukrainians? FYI, America's greatness was created by defending Europe from Hitler's regime. If you don't understand these fundamentals, then you are not qualified to criticize this great leadership.

  31. Who is your alternative? Vivek, who knows 0 about how our government functions? Surely NOT the fascist Mafioso godfather, who tried to overthrow the undeniable majority of voters' choice and wants eliminate term limits, the Constitution, and become our dictator. Nikki Haley is a warmonger. Personally, I don't believe in riding a great old workhose into the ground, neither and would prefer to see a Raskin/AOC ticket and ranked choice voting (1st). But dreaming isn't a choice. Nor is 'different'' a viable one, as we're witnessing with the know-nothing Q-nut anarchists sabotaging the people's House and destroying the GOP. Get real and woke up. President Biden has been doing an incredible job of leading our nation through the most difficult challenging time in recent history. That's only possible thanks to his caring age, decades of public service, and mindfulness. Don't kick the ole man, just because his polling #s are down. People will appreciate him much more, once the union wages of 35,000 infrastructure projects start flowing into their local economies, manufacturing returns home, and post-pandemic inflation has returned to normal.  @alwayswatchingfromabove

  32. Decades of Reaganomics and Republican warmongering have only defunded and depleted our government to the point of $33T in national debt. Powell uses higher interest rates to suppress consumer spending and control inflation, which only hurts the low income brackets and most vulnerable among US and only benefits Wall Street banking lenders. Instead of raising interest rates, raise taxes to pay down our national debt, provide affordable healthcare, and fund social security for seniors. Everything about Republican economics and policies is bas ackwards for our nation's health and security. Enough is more than enough and has now become too much BS.

  33. ... to support the COVID unemployed during the pandemic shutdowns, while creating the strongest post-pandemic economy in the world. 25% added during tRump's 4 years in office, $2Trillion worth of tax loopholes were handed out to his billionaire Wall Street cronies. $33 Trillion of national debt caused by failed Reaganomics that only helped the filthy rich, while blowing $5Trillion in the Middle East wars, based upon lies of WMDs and to save face by scapegoating the Taliban over letting Bin Laden escape into Pakistan. Then, Bush/Cheney simply gave up the chase and went into another failed 'nation building' mode. While AWOL, the Great Recession of 2007 happened. So, Obama/Biden were forced to bail out corrupt Wall Street hedge fund managers to rescue the global economy, rescue the auto industry that Romney said should fail. Families were losing their homes to skyrocketing hospital expenses, so Obama/Biden provided ACA, which Republicans pledged to defund, but failed. What was your point, again?
    1
  34.  @winninglane3671  Then, Obama/Biden saved our nation, Wall Street, and the auto industry from bankruptcy during the Great Recession. Romney said to let Detroit fail, which would have caused millions to be unemployed. Biden has been there and done that. Now, he's doing it again, with the Grim Reaper still obstructing and undermining his efforts.

  35. @Life 360 Nah, tRump never risks his own money. It's always borrowed or stolen. Another sucker is born everyday.

  36.  John Barosa  Thank you. Yeah, I'm aware of their brainwashing. They need to be deprogrammed. It's a nasty job, but someone needs to do it. I simply won't allow other white people to denigrate people of color. It has to stop. Whites need to stand up for civil rights. If a person of color tries to defend themselves, they are only targeted further. Pretty soon, we will be the minority and it is all going to come back on us. We are already deeply resented by many people of color. I stand as an exception to the stereotype.

  38. tRump's BS created the tariff war that eliminated US soybean farmers' primary customer, China. Now they are surviving off of government welfare. Ivanka tRump had her merch manufactured in Chinese sweatshops, instead of Made in 'Merica. So did the Mafioso Don. Don, the 2-bit con, pulled out of PCA, instead of promoting alternative energy manufacturing. The UN council laughed in the don's face. NO domestic manufacturing was brought 'home' by your orange self-serving Don, the 2-bit con. Please provide proof otherwise.

  40.  @Luke_Freeman  I appreciate and respect your civil voice. I wasn't very interested in politics until I heard Obama's campaign. After Bush's ME disaster, based upon lies of WMDs, which had nothing to do with Al Qaeda's attack on NYC, I was repelled by the corruption within the RNC. Trump has only made bad matters worse. I hate that man with a vengeance. Right wingers don't even try to defend his mafioso illegal activities and pathological lies. They only distract the subject with, "Well what about ________?" IOW, their moral compass relies upon not being worse than the worst BS conspiracy theory about some Dem, which usually is so ancient that there's no legitimate comparison. However, last fall I witnessed the DNC and MSM undermine viable candidates during the debates, such as Tulsi Gabbard among others. So, I no longer identify with them, either. Then, there was the shameful behavior of the Republican Congressmen during the impeachment hearings and trials. They have taken political corruption through the roof, blatantly spinning an alternative universe of 'fake news'. They are the pawns of Trump, complicite enablers of his criminal activity, and conspirators against our nation and its Constitutional laws. IMO, they are all traitors against everything our once great nation has stood for. "can't stand people who relentlessly berate for political leverage and gain,..." Trump has done this at every rally and public appearance, demonizing over half of American voters. Now, his misinformation and lies for political gain are killing our citizens by the thousands. Trump is an insult to the scum he is. IMO, Biden doesn't have enough fight inside him to defeat Trump's upcoming $1 Billion propaganda campaign, dubbed the 'Death Star'. Without Obama's support, our nation is doomed.

  41. All over the place, explaining his policies to the US citizens, because that's who hired him. It's called being a 'public servant'. President Biden is also working hard to solve our nation's problems with the most thoughtful and appropriate solutions, based upon the facts presented by professional advisors. This is how efficient organizations work, not by kowtowing to a wannabe dictator who only serves Putin.

  42.  @taliseraphen  The US democratic republic is dependent upon people's freedom to choose between two opposing political agendas. The majority rules. That was designed by our Founding Fathers a few hundred years ago and is the foundation of our nation. You have a better plan? Let's hear it, Smart Ass. The only ass kissing that I see is within the GQP, kissing tRump. My comments are based upon 68 years of experience and based upon scientific knowledge, common sense, and reason. But, you're correct; they go right over the top of your little head.

  45.  @jamesjoseph9721  I fully agree with everything you say. My point is that white supremacy and racial discrimination casts a stain upon all whites. It only causes bitterness towards all of us within people of color. That bitterness turns them into racists, as well. Yin and Yang only strengthen each other in their constant opposition. Whites need to shame white supremacists. People of color need to see that happening, otherwise we will be judged as being the same, through 'racial lens'. The tribalism must stop. People need to get outside of their little social bubbles and learn that the bubble is only within their own limited minds. I have no idea what color your skin is, but feel a kindred spirit. Best regards, my brother.

  46.  @jrexx2841  I wish that the white supremacist would just stay home, so that everyone else could live their lives without fear of being attacked. Yeah, I know... wishful thinking.

  47.  @Zahnno  Trust me, friend. I'm not dwelling upon being guilt ridden. I'm simply trying to enlighten people of my own race that attitudes of racial superiority are unfounded BS. Soon, we will become the minority in America and will surely suffer the karma of the past racism that was inflicted upon others, regardless of how innocent we are as individuals. My conscious is clear. But, I know better than to walk down the streets of Inglewood or Compton. In fact, 20 years ago, when I visited some old friends there, they told me to not even think of walking to the corner store. Nowadays, racial tensions are far worse, thanks to police killings and Trump's rhetoric.

  48.  @jrexx2841  No. Just an old fart with some morals left. But, thank you for the compliment, assuming that it wasn't intended as sarcasm. Sometime, it's difficult to tell the difference on YT. lol Stay safe. :-)

  49.  @Zahnno  Perhaps I misspoke. I should have said, "White people who act from a prejudicial place bring shame upon everyone of my skin color." Is that better? IMO, the key word to your assertion is 'shouldn't'. There's absolutely no difference between your idealism and mine. My remark about people being so tribalistic is a critique of the status quo of Us & Them (and after all, we're only ordinary men). Sorry, I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. Look it. I'm a white guy trying to speak out against white supremacists and their violence against people of color. So, I honestly don't understand why you find that to be so offensive.
