ReplyYou can play a drinking game and take a shot each time when he says you know

ReplyNice to see a more realistic perspective of a Biden Presidency.
ReplyBiden is willing to entertain the idea that he’s wrong about something, and listen to your reasons why. He’s not ‘perfect’, but he’s the definition of a decent person. Kamala will shape him up on the things he needs to rethink. The two of them together will surprise us, I think.
ReplyProgressive ppl organized like hell to get Dems to squeak by Hair Fürôr. If we fail to flip Senate Dems and Progs won’t be able to rebalance supremes.
Makes Progressives’ work all the hardest moving forward
ReplyThere is a fraud in KY and NC. There is simply there is no way that the turtle and the hypocrite Lindsey Gay can be elected so many times while they have done nothing for the people expect for caring their own power. These two people can not win without fraud! Investigations are needed!
ReplyLOSER TRUMP
ReplyAmericans have to come to the conclusion that this election is not about Trump vs Biden it is and always be Trump vs Democracy and Democracy won.
ReplyTRUMP PLEASE SIGN THE STIMULUS BILL.. TELL HIM. SETH
ReplyObama never openly endorsed police violence. He just quietly ignored it, and passively enabled police to run amuck under his Administration murdering people every day (i always😂 to hear cops say “just like any other profession…”) But there’s never been an other unionized bunch of laborers who just started indiscriminately killing other Americans of all walks of life. As annoying as restaurant patrons are, our food servers haven’t collectively gone postal the way cops seem to have. But it could happen.
Replyless of the interview spent on why Biden’s term won’t be so great, but great interview anyway. Last late-night host with any integrity
ReplyMills & Boon with a twilight one twist=wet.
ReplyMuch love and respect for you Mr Coates. Thank you for sharing your invaluable voice with the world.
ReplyWe are a better world with Mr Coates and his writing.
ReplyIt was not tough election, for me, it was simple choice between corruption, inhumanity, lies , incompetence , racism, narcissism, ignorance vs simple decency, humanity, truth and my country.
ReplyHow’s his Captain America run?
ReplyI would never have pronounced his name correctly unless I heard it first.
ReplyWhy does this highly educated guy insist on speaking in Ebonics?
ReplyBlack Panther was one of the worst films ever made and was nothing for anyone to be
Replyproud of in spite of the fact that it brought in a gazillion bucks. If I were black I would
be embarrassed by it. Hell, I’m white and I’m embarrassed by it. I fell asleep during the movie.
