I can't think of anyone better. I loved the other candidates that we had that stepped forward, but seriously, in my humble opinion, a President Biden is exactly the right fit for the job.

that the Governors of our States shouldn't have needed to ASK! A capable and honest president would have had a plan in place so there weren't 50 different states handling the outbreak in 50 different ways!

ONE NATION, ACTING AS A SINGLE ENTITY AGAINST COVID-19, WOULD HAVE HAD THIS EPIDEMIC UNDER CONTROL LAST MARCH!

THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UPWARD OF 200,000 DEATHS IN OUR COUNTRY AND COUNTING!

YOU'RE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE, DONNY, AND YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS?

GO STRAIGHT TO HELL! YOU'RE THE WORST HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET!

Answer back to Fox News

You can go to the belly of the beast and post your thoughts or give your thumbs up to posts you like!!

Tell your friends!!

It’s fun..it’s entertaining..it’s effective and satisfying.


For about a month now, I have been writing comments about the various news stories on the Fox News website. Sometimes I will have up to 8 different fox news stories open on my screen and reply to each with different counterpoints, often a number of them on the same story over the course of an hour or two. It’s actually rather fun and satisfying….being able to get your say in with these people.

This way, I can post dozens of attention getting posts that the fox followers will read, often with ‘interesting’ feedback from them, as you can well imagine. Surprisingly, there are a substantial number of us Democratic types that post on there, or that rate the comments. (I’ve had up to 12 likes for a post). In actuality though, the foxers outnumber the ‘normals’ as you would expect.
Let us better the ratio!
Our side needs more troops over there to help educate the foxes, the stoats and the weasels about the truth.

Over time, I’ve had to occasionally delete my account and change usernames when Fox catches on, or someone complains. I think this has happened when I post too much too quickly, perhaps and also when I get down on Fox directly, so be a little circumspect. At a certain point, Fox will keep showing you your posts, but no one else will see them. You will know this when no one reacts to them, or you can check by going to your incognito page and see if your posts show up or not on fox there.. It’s a pretty easy get around though if they shut you down. Just delete your account, (you can keep the same email), and create a new account with a new user name. It takes a couple of minutes.

Please try and keep things civil. Witty if possible, and try to avoid insults. We’re here to convince Fox people who are often woefully ignorant of the truth. Educate them.

I don’t believe you’re supposed to cut and paste, but I do successfully. (I keep about 25 posts on file that I use, when I don’t write spontaneously or in reply to some stupid thing or another)

It’s actually kind of fun, (addicting?) to post, and I think it may actually do a lot of good, as a lot of fox readers aren’t necessarily committed Trump cultists, they may just be ignorant, not stupid, and they may be on the fence.

Below is an example of what I post.
See you over there!

Answer back to Fox News

Trump’s deep thoughts:
1- “why don’t we just drop a nuke in the eye of a hurricane to stop it?”
2- the Revolutionary Army took over the airport’s in the 1700’s
3- “the new clean coal mine is going to take out the coal and actually clean it so it’ll be clean coal.”
4- “the F-35’s are invisible. They can’t fight against them. The enemy can be right next to one and they can’t fight because they’re stealth....it’s literally invisible.”
5- “Puerto Rico is surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.”
6- “water is wet....from the standpoint of water.”
7- “they say the noise from those big windmills causes cancer.”
8- “disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. Is there a way we can do that....by injection, almost a cleaning. It sounds interesting to me.”
9- “Isn’t Finland a part of Russia?”
10- “the map came to me with that sharpie drawing on it.”
11. “Andrew Jackson should have stopped the Civil War. (He died 16 years prior)
12. Trump said he had never heard of a Category 5 Hurricane even though he had already experienced three in his presidency.
13. “When I was hearing the amount of people that died with the flu, I was shocked to hear it… I would have said, ‘Does anybody die of the flu?’ I didn’t know people died from the flu.”
Fact check: Trump’s grandfather died of the flu.
14. "We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
Trumps mean girl name calling is surely getting old.
here's another one I post:
This is from Peggy Noonan, the great conservative columnist for the conservative Wall Street Journal. Aug. 29:
(Trump ) denied the threat from the virus, lied with almost pleasing abandon, especially about the testing, and when forced to focus, held bumbling daily briefings that only made things worse. It was a mistake to insist at the convention that it was a success. That ship has sunk.
