PHEW! 😳 ALL that, while trying to defend himself, for just about his ENTIRE presidency, over a BIG LIE (Russia Collusion) AND a stupid, idiotic IMPEACHMENT, and now a PANDEMIC. Just imagine how much MORE he can accomplish if given another term.
Donald is NOT perfect, NO MAN is, but he's certainly MORE accomplished than his opponent who has 45+ years in politics and what are HIS accomplishments?
Don't hurt yourself trying to come up with something, but good luck!
It's rotting what few brain cells you have left.
Obama was the most divisive do virtually nothing President in American history. Handily stealing the title of the WORST President from Jimmy Carter.
Just because you may have been born an doesn't mean you HAVE to be one your entire life. Get a clue before you start typing REALLY STUPID SHIT.
It's not very flattering for YOU.
Biden now wants us deplorables to agree with the socialist views of his party. A party that NEVER cooperated with Trump's proposals but always wanted the opposite.
I am actually disgusted how much Biden is preparing to work with republicans. He might even put republicans in his cabinet. Have you ever heard of republicans considering that?
Republican in name Only
Actually, I do respect the fighting spirit of the republicans. The democrats are gutless, feckless weaklings. The republicans at least try to please their base.
Democrats puke on their base constantly. Biden didn't concede to anything his base wants. He is only trying to appeal to the mythical swing voter and republicans who are fed up with Trump.
Biden is so afraid of being called a socialist, that he pisses on anything his base cares about. Did it help? No, you still call him a socialist. Why would he try to appeal to you? You will never vote for him.
Biden should realize that progressive policy has large majority support in the USA and conservative goals only have about 30% support.
Biden should have first appealed to his base and then to the non-voter, who stopped voting because neither party does anything for them.
Biden shouldn't cooperate with republicans on anything, unless it is in line with democratic goals. It would be a better strategy on the long turn, because no one would ever have a reason to vote for a fake populist again, once they have had the real deal.
Don't be a gotdamned dunce ALL your life...

Trump's efforts "are unlikely to move a single state from Mr. Biden's column, and certainly they're not enough to change the final outcome," Rove wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election on Saturday and Trump has declined to concede that he was defeated.

Joe Biden is president-elect. Here’s what has to happen before he’s sworn in
It does work.
You missed the whole point of him mentioning that.
It was to prompt research into alternative treatment methods. Same could be said with the bleach comment.There are several foods that contain the same active ingrediant as bleach that actually do remove toxins from the body.
If you remember he briefly mentioned Google setting up a website that folks could go to for information and tracking and such. IT was to motivate Google to step up to the plate and provide a public service.Which of course,they didn't.If it doesn't make millions,or have anything to do with censoring search results,they won't do it.
As for employement with Trump, He hires people and Expects top performance and RESULTS.IF you don't work to suit him,your ass is gone.
How could you run a company with ineffective employees? It would not be profitiable.Afirmative action causes alot of companys to hire and keep poorly performing workers to maintian a certian number of minortys.
Profit killing regulations.
DO your research before claiming Trump is so bad.
I'm not the dumb fuck frothing at the mouth as I type lies and hatred.
You poor thing!
You suffering from the very real psychosis commonly referred to as, Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS? 🤔
SEEK professional help!
Only thing around here are a bunch of dicks, and trust me, they are incapable of helping you.
BTW, eat shit you uninformed, uneducated pustule. I bet you didn't hesitate cashing that check from him, did you?
Fucking hypocrite!

No, the opposition supporters killed supporters of the democratically elected government. The sanctions Trump increased during a pandemic, making the already difficult task of getting any medication and protective clothing virtually impossible, have killed more people. His, and Obama's sanctions have killed more Venezuelans than have been killed by other Venezuelans.
Venezuela is another country under US sanctions in order to get the current President out, so they can install their puppet Guaido, and pillage Venezuela's resources. They tried it in Bolivia too, but fortunately they failed and the right wing interim President was voted out, and the previous government has returned to office. The US did succeed in overthrowing the governments of Brazil and Ecuador though, unfortunately.

There are many other stories regarding the US's interference in Venezuela and other countries there too.
Only the dumbest motherfuckers would try to "disagree" with actual facts.

1,Kept Hillary Clinton out of the White house.
I would not believe any of this stuff ever with out some massive checking. If this guy tells you the day of the week you better go check that as well.
Every speech he makes is so full of lies it is amazing. Every news organization tells us about all of his lies after each speech. Oh yeah that is from his DAKE NEWS group I guess.
What about the inject bleach to cure the virus that I actually witnessed him say? How about the billions of dollars he had to send to the middle of the US to save them from going broke due to his fuck up in that area with the rest of the world? What about talking with people from all over the world that think of him as a joke leader???
What about his lies about how good a business person he is? He is the only person to ever loose money ruing a **** casino?His golf course in Fl is only still in business due to his going there and having to have the gov bolster up the financials by paying for all of the people and things th PRES spends there? Why has he still not released his taxes so the world can see how bad a business man he is. Every Other PRES has done it in history of the IRS just look it up!
The wall is a disaster! Some of it is falling down because the crooked company he forced the gov to hire did not check all of the environmental stuff and built it too close the the edge of the water and it is sinking. Oh yeah and it had already has been breached several times!
I do not have time to type any more of the crap this crook wife cheater and porno fucker has done to this country in the name of MAGA!!! Wee are in a much worse financial situation and health for sure than we have ever been!
Please check your facts on all of this b4 you spout it out as TRUTH!! Most is only partially correct. Each thing you lied about here has parts of it that hurt many more people than he ever helped.
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT NYONE BUT HIMSELF AND HIS ENTIRE PURPOSE IN BEING PRES IS TO REMOVE ANYTHING DONE BY (AS HE CALLS IT) THAT NIGER BEFORE ME!!! Look at what he has done. Anything the last pres did he has had his people try and remove from the record. Nothing will be left and we all will pay of it for years and years after he is gone now or later!
PLEASE TKE YOUR CRP OFF THI SITE AND LEV. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO IS CORRECT YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE EVER!!!
Do YOU truly expect ANYONE to listen to a jack-off from arguably THE WORST RUN STATE IN OUR UNION?
Let me tell you how FUCKING dumb you SLOBS are in California... Highest fucking taxes in the United States, outrageous crime rates, mind numbing homeless and poverty rates, rampant drug abuse IN/ON THE STREETS, shit and urine stained streets, out of control forest fires, electricity blackouts due to lack of energy, and clean drinking water shortages, hundreds of thousands fleeing the state (that's the smarter ones), just to name a few problems.
What do you dumb cunts do???
YOU KEEP VOTING THE SAME PIECES OF SHIT INTO OFFICE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
That being said, go fuck yourself idiot!
YOU'RE in NO position to preach a gotdamned thing to a soul around here. EVERYTHING you've spouted off is a bunch of bullshit and I'm not going to waste my time disproving anymore of it.
Primarily because... At YOUR age, YOU'RE just not worth my effort. Continue being an old ignorant cocksucker, I don't care!
As far as ME and THIS site goes... I pay to play, because I don't expect a handout from ANYONE.
How about you, welfare recipient?
SEE! I got YOUR #! Your a typical liberal shit for brains that believes WHOLEHEARTEDLY that someone owes YOU something. Like Mr.Admin of this site, he owes you, right? 🤔
If you don't like me here, take it up with him!
Maybe later you can tell us how that works out for you.
In the meantime... Eat shit you dumb motherfucker!
Have a terrific day!
🇺🇲 Protect the 1st AND 2nd Amendments - TRUMP 2020 🇺🇲
101, how is that a do nothing for the majority? It is allowing people to take experiamental drugs that could save a otherwise lost life.
You liberals are so narrow minded.
Prove your statements about Trumps accomplishments. HE did the things listed.
1. Sexual Assault
We’ve heard him on tape with Billy Bush. Books and articles have been written about his abuse of young models. 25+ women have come forward to accuse him publicly of sexual misconduct, assault, and ****. Michael Cohen says in his book Trump ogled his 15-year-old daughter and asked him “when did she get so hot?” He was often seen sneaking in and out of his New York neighbor Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion. And he has a long history of “joking” about dating his daughter and sex with “troubled teens” and young women. Trump dismisses all of the allegations but when given the chance to clear his name of a **** charge by giving a simple DNA sample, he not only declined, he called in Bill Barr and the DOJ to complete the cover-up.
2. Racial Discrimination
From violating the Fair Housing Act in the 1970s to paying fines for moving black employees out of sight to appease racist casino gamblers in the 1990s to an endless stream of incendiary racist remarks in the 2000s, Trump has a long and well-documented history of racism, much of it illegal. Racism is what propelled the Birther-in-Chief’s political rise. And his racism is on full display in 2020, encouraging conspiracy theories about Kamala Harris and now even saying it would be an “insult” if Harris were to become President.
3. Bribery
As a businessman, Trump routinely bribed politicians, even bragging about it on the campaign trail when he ran for President. In 2013, his “charity” gave an illegal “donation” of $25,000 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who then decided not to prosecute the fake Trump University, despite receiving at least 22 complaints from constituents detailing its “persistent fraudulent, illegal and deceptive conduct.” Bondi would later be hired by President Trump to help him during his impeachment.
4. Consumer Fraud
Trump’s lifetime of scams and frauds include ripping America investors off in a never-built condo development in Mexico and, famously, the aforementioned Trump University. It was a scam so relentless and evil that Trump had no problem separating war widows, seniors and the poorly educated from their life savings. It was such a blatant fraud that Trump quickly agreed to pay $25 million to settle the suit as soon as he was elected President.
5. Charity Fraud
Trump was even sick enough to team up with his son Eric to steal from kids with cancer. While attending events at Trump properties, donors were led to believe that “all donations go toward supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.” In fact, “$400,000 or more” was steered directly to Trump businesses, while additional money was secretly given to other organizations. Separately, after years of scams and self-dealing, Trump’s own foundation was shut down permanently in 2019, paying a $2 million fine for misuse of funds. New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement: “The president will be subject to ongoing supervision by my office, and the Trump children had to undergo compulsory training to ensure this type of illegal activity never takes place again.”
6. Tax Fraud
As we now know, Trump’s own niece Mary Trump was a major source for The New York Times’ blockbuster 2018 exposй detailing the “dubious tax schemes” and “outright fraud” that multiplied the inheritance Trump received from his parents in the 1990s. Trump’s entire wealth has been built on defrauding the government. Fraud that runs into the hundreds of millions has already been established. And that may only be the tip of the iceberg as Trump continues to battle to prevent the release of years of tax returns—the same returns he once promised he would willingly show America.
7. Bank Fraud
Remember when the Clintons were investigated for years over Whitewater—a real estate investment in which they actually lost $100,000? We found out in 2019 that Trump had committed a $270 million bank fraud in 2012 simply by inflating the value of one property in Westchester, NY. Again, that’s likely the tip of the iceberg. As The New York Times reported last month: New York prosecutors continue to investigate “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization” with “possible crimes involving bank and insurance fraud.”
8. Insurance Fraud
Trump famously raided the 9/11 victims’ fund for $150,000 even though his businesses were hardly affected. While that may have not been illegal, it prevented more deserving businesses from having access to that fund. But he definitely defrauded his Mar-a-Lago insurance company in 2005, claiming $17 million for hurricane damage that was limited to a few flattened trees and the loss of a few roof tiles. The Manhattan D.A.’s ongoing investigation is expected to turn up more examples of Trump’s and the Trump Organization’s insurance fraud.
9. Money Laundering
While Trump’s tax returns are perhaps still hiding the full extent of Trump’s money laundering for the Russians, what we already knew in 2016 was bad enough: As CNN reported: “The Trump Taj Mahal casino broke anti-money laundering rules 106 times in its first year and a half of operation in the early 1990s.” In 1998, the Taj Mahal paid “the largest fine the federal government ever slapped on a casino for violating the Bank Secrecy Act.” Just this past weekend, legal analyst Barb McQuade told Ali Velshi that new revelations in Michael Cohen’s book could open Trump to additional charges of money laundering in relation to his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
10. Petty Theft.
For a supposed billionaire, Trump is not above engaging in some petty theft. He was one of the celebrities caught up in Fifth Avenue jewelry retailer Bulgari’s “Empty Box Scam,” in which customers walked out with the jewelry they bought while empty boxes were sent to New Jersey to avoid paying New York sales tax. Caught in a petty crime that could have cost him his casino license, cheapskate crook Trump contacted investigators and agreed to testify against retailer Bulgari.
Beyond these 10 examples, Michael Cohen’s new book reveals additional crimes Trump committed to win the Presidency, including the blackmail of Jerry Falwell, Jr. who was threatened with the release of “racy photos” in exchange for his endorsement. (It makes one wonder again just what does Trump have on Lindsey Graham?)As I said in 2018: the rule that you can’t indict a sitting president should not apply to crimes that made a person the sitting president.
But here we are in 2020, with Trump and his Postmaster General and his illegal appointees openly committing (or encouraging supporters to commit) crimes as Trump tries to steal another election. All while claiming to be the “Law and Order President.”
It looks like Trump didn't succeed in stealing the election. Now he will lose his presidential immunity, the lawsuits can start. I hope they will "Lock him up!".
