When you talk about President elect Trump having all the levers of power, the white House, the Senate, and The House, don't forget to mention The SCOTUS.

One way to get rid of the debt is to stop TAXPAYER funding everyone else's ENDLESS wars!!!

[TyroneNorwood]

I want to go back and get all the old MTP interviews and play them for these sick people

[rickloudermilk]

"what they want to hear from us" I see, so you just need to know what we want to hear you say.

[suzannemcclure]

Why is nothing being said about Kari Lake's defeat?

[JayClaypool]

Mitch McConnell's doing the right thing he's leaving because Donald Trump got back in here I do not much blame him Mitch McConnell has right to resign his duties 💯

This „efficiency“ teams are existing in all industries no.

[RangeEvouge]

History has proved time and time again that real consequential harm is always done with the support of a very large ignorant portion of the population.

[jusadude]

The Noem pick is a head scratcher 🤦🏻‍♂️ Why her?!? She was found to be a huge liar and an embarrassment 🤷🏼‍♂️

[rolandthethompsongunner]

The Democrats have been losing poc for a while because of their liberal immigration policies which compete for the same jobs. They should have seen this coming.

[spero]

Shouldn’t they have more leverage for God sake it is their country

[MarinemomofOceanside]

Praying for Rachel Maddows fast recovery. I hope he/she/they will recover with his/her/their meltdown

[pieats]

I am very optimistic for this administration even NBC and the rest of the legacy media is biased with their reporting.
