Don the Con and the BANANA Republican Enablers Crash & Burn Farewell Tour 2020!!!!

Right he is, and those Americans will live to regret it.

We're giving away democracy if we vote for the neo-socialist democratic party.

Republicans loathe democracy and they are perfectly happy to give it away. I'm not only talking about Trump and the GOP, but also the red-state hyenas who attend his rallies and believe Q Anon conspiracies.

This man, I believe.

Well duh, democracy is terminally ill and can be resuscitated only by a massive demographic engineering project to reverse the current one. Heterogeneous electorates cannot have a functioning ideological election. They can only engage in identity politics.

Vindman is a simp

Sure Vite for the Commies 2020....

Isn’t that the Trump hater that was behind the whole Ukraine debacle?

He sure is providing motive to his impeachment scam.

Giving away democracy as in? Unnamed, anonymous classified leaks? Politicizing the IRS and DOJ against political opponents or to spy on the opposition campaign? Deep state employees who feel they run the country? Just asking.

He's only stating the obvious. Rump knows he needs to steal the election to stay out of prison! TrumpIsANationalSecurityThreat TrumpIsARussianAsset

A 'democracy' that allows pre-election meddling by Vindman & Jeffrey Goldberg isn't worth preserving.

This says coming from a distrusted employee... who got caught colluding with Schiff.He turned political for his personal gain. This man is a traitor! Stop spinning.

Since Trump's election, the United States has become more divided, more damaged, more violent and is literally burning to the ground. Call me crazy, but there is a clear connection to the man in charge and where we are now. BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

No doubt.

This guy would have fit right in with Soviet era communist propaganda. That smug blank sociopathic face, is perfect on its own.

When the right wins, democracy is at stake. Every single country does that. The left has no standard of decency. Anywhere.

Director of National Institutes of Health: ‘We are NOT going to take shortcuts on vaccine safety’National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins says the coronavirus vaccines in trials will be held to “the highest standards ever applied” and calls America’s polarization on the pandemic “unfortunate.” The fastest vaccine ever developed was for mumps, and it too four years...if ya'll are willing to roll up your sleeves and let Uncle Sam inject you with whatever toxic cocktail they've miraculously concocted, then you go right ahead. I think I'll take my chances. I no longer trust the NIH, and I would NEVER get any vaccine until trump is long out of office. Unfortunately because of trump & his lies, manipulation & abuse of every gov't office, there is no longer ANY TRUST by any reasonable person. Trump also told us TO DRINK BLEACH !!
