  1.  @thomaslind7610  I wasn't referring to the city, but the ice cream shop.

  2. You tell us, you're the one who clicked on it.

  3. Are you seriously claiming that the Democrats won't be the majority in the House when Congress starts its new session in January? Where did you get that information?

  4. I don't know. Many of Trump's supporters are so far gone, they'd probably think it's was their patriotic duty to lose their job, pay more for basic needs, and/or pay more in taxes.

  5. Harris wasn't my choice for the first non-White and/or female VP, but I greatly appreciate the historical significance of her election.

  6. The music comes from the drinking song, but thte words were written by Francis Scott Key.

  7. What Trump and his ilk don't seem to realize is that if Facebook, Twitter, etc..., are held to account for what's posted on their sites, they're going to limit their liability by purging controversial accounts. And guess who has some of the more controversial accounts on those sites?

  8. Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously with a post like that?

  9. Your actions don't match your words.

  10. I would like to think that Biden has more important things to do.

  11.  @steveb365  Thanks for proving my point.

  12. @Jess Red Thanks for proving my point.

  13. ​ @Kevin-s7s Despite being the daughter of a US Navy sailor who served in Vietnam, I don't really have an issue with anyone who did whatever he could, legally, to avoid the draft. Just don't lie to me about it.

  14. It's not like this couple knew nine months ago that there was going to be a pandemic when their baby was due.

  15. 1:15 -- And there you have it folks, the perfect example of irony. 🤨

  16.  @barkmaker  If I'm not going to be voting in person, I ask my Supervisor of Elections office for a ballot, it's sent to me, I fill it out, then send it back in. The procedure is the same whether I choose not to vote in person or won't be in my county on Election Day.

  17. In 1984, Reagan slaughtered Mondale in the Electoral College with 525 electoral votes to Mondale's 13. That is a landslide. Regardless of who wins this election, the result isn't going to be anywhere close to that.

  18. This video had nothing to do with who currently occupies the White House.

  19. VOA is hardly a "mainstream" outlet.

  20. The Electoral College can't be done away with by a stroke of a hypothetical President Biden's pen. It needs a Constitutional amendment, which requires that 38 state legislatures agree to it. I don't envision that happening anytime soon.

  21. So let's just repeal all laws since there will always be some people who "ignore" them.

  22. @midnighfairy: However, by the time Trump posted his tweet, the forecast had drastically changed and Alabama was no longer in the cone of concern. If you really want people to "stop going against Trump", then perhaps you should ask him to grow up and act like a responsible adult who's willing to admit when he's wrong.

  23. I didn't see anything in this video that claimed any of the artists featured were using other people's creations.

  24.  @planetearth1705  "I don’t know who runs them [VOA?], don’t care." Perhaps you should look into it before posting comments about how the outlet operates. From VOA's website: "VOA is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the government agency that oversees all non-military, U.S. international broadcasting. It is funded by the U.S. Congress." https://www.insidevoa.com/p/5831.html

  25.  @planetearth1705  I never said you needed my permission to post anything. I was giving advice on how to post comments that don't sound like made up nonsense.

  26.  @planetearth1705  I don't claim to have any authority, just maturity and a willingness to try and educate others.

  27. Considering that the PGA has pretty much been the only pro golf organization in the US ever since I can remember (and possible longer than that), I don't get why some senators are just now expressing concern about possible anti-trust issues. And, in regards to the issue of the Saudi government being a major investor in the merged company, I get how that would be of concern in principle, but is investigating the merger really the best use of Congress' time? It's not as if the PGA produces anything vital for the American public (e.g., food, electricity, gas, medical services) or holds any top secret government contracts.

  28. Just curious, who do you think would've won the 1992 Presidential election if we had used ranked choice then?
    1
  29. That's not quite how justices are appointed to the US Supreme Court. The President nominates someone, then the Senate votes to approve or not approve that nomination. The House of Representatives has nothing to do with it.

  30. I don't usually resist my doody. It gives me cramps.

  31. Why would someone manufacture votes for a candidate in a state that she/he is sure to win? California's pretty much a given for Biden. If "they" were going to submit fake ballots to ensure a Biden win, it'd make more sense to do it in states where Biden and Trump were neck and neck.

  32. +Ellie 26 I saw a t-shirt a couple of months ago that said (not exact quote, but same idea), "I've got to stop asking how stupid can people get because someone takes that as a challenge." I bring that up because I suspect that someone within the Trump administration may just take you up on that "new low" challenge. 😟

  33. If his mother would've had to sell her business to just get a hearing aid, I'm guessing a cochlear implant is pretty much impossible for his family to afford. Besides, the success of an implant would depend on why he was deaf in the first place.

  34.  @jaytree  "do u know anything more then typing how dumb u sound?" Oh, the irony is strong with this one.

  35. @Megan Cox It isn't just Commonwealth media that continues to call Meghan by her maiden name. Take a look at the description for this very video, which is from an American media outlet.

  36. On what grounds?

  37. Harris' father was from Jamaica.
    1
  38.  @sadaat.302  Harris is both Black (via her father) and Indian (via her mother).

  39.  @camdenkeeton2411  Why do I get this feeling that you're not using "mixed" as a neutral term? And the "correct term" for me would be "dudette". 👩🏻
    1
  40.  @camdenkeeton2411  I fail to see how I keep track of the news relates to Harris' ancestry.

  41. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to deport natural born US citizens.

  42.  @naturalobserver1322  What does this alleged claim have to do with the topic of this video?
    1
  43.  @naturalobserver1322  In other words, you can't make a connection between the Polish government's issues with the country's media and whether or not Biden lied about driving a truck. That means your original post is an off topic comment and should be reported.
    1
  44.  @naturalobserver1322  Yes, the video is about fact checking, but what is being checked is not whether or not Biden drove a truck. Again, your original comment is off topic and has been reported.
    1
  45.  @naturalobserver1322  Reported for spam since the comment doesn't have anything to do with the topic of the video, unless you can show me where it mentions Biden driving a truck.

  46. So you don't believe Iran's own official news agency? https://en.irna.ir/news/83628876/General-Staff-of-Iran-Armed-Forces-releases-statement-on-Ukrainian

  47. If some sinister entity was controlling the weather, don't you think it'd be coming up with more significant events than a barely there tornado? It must be really taxing on the brain to have to come up with a conspiracy theory to explain every little thing in your life.

  48.  @auntiemandy5638  Reported for making a threat to kill me.

  49. 1:47 -- In my opinion, the worst thing any US President can do for a authoritarian country's opposition movement is to publicly support it. All it does is gives that country's government ammunition to discredit the protesters.

  50. Which has nothing to do with this video, but thanks for playing.
