What a time to be alive.
@Troy Stocker at least if he _had_ been born in Europe in 1920, he could have pulled a Trump and run away from fighting his countrys enemy, eh?
That’s the _stable genious_ plan, eh?
@Troy Stocker Covid ain’t over, yet, dummy, and President Obama called emergency measures within days.
Stupid Trump still has idiots like you parroting his _It’ll be over come Summer_
@Darrell Smith Did you expect the contagion to miraculously come to a halt genius? You must think Trump is a God.
This is shattering so many industries and I mean that in context of ideology!! It’s simply surreal
@Marco Polo but he’s clearly not. That’s the point. The world is laughing at you
The “Law” Isn’t Properly Enforced As It Is So?
@🥀₲ɾɑղԵ𝄆𝅗𝅥 Somebody doesn’t know what karma means. Telling.
@B dub Then, refresh me.
@🥀₲ɾɑղԵ𝄆𝅗𝅥 Karma is a spiritual cause and effect. There is nothing spiritual about the Democrats and their efforts to get Trump and undo the last presidential election. What do you think they are going to do to him when he gets out of office? What will they charge him with?
@B dub But like, it’s also one of the laws of the universe & should affect everyone.
Katrina Marie Barracuda Babette.155 They should have laws about the kind of photos some people post on their youtube. Yours should be a jailable offense. Prostitute.
The police will eventually become infected too
With SO MANY retractions, defamation lawsuits & settlements for knowingly reporting FAKE NEWS nobody in their right mind should source information from this trash network
@ROB112 No news…just people commenting to pass time. : – )
I’ve been seeing much less cops out than usual. I’ve seen 2 empty cop cars parked in weird places.like they just quit and walked home. Ones been there for at least 2 days.
The more Police that become infected the less shootings of innocent people. Probably okay
Kathy Mack the workers at retail stores, pharmacies, healthcare workers, police and firefighters are at risk!
So, even prisons for profit must give-up the pot-heads losing thousands of dollars each a day, now make this a permanent solution and always give tickets, not incarceration.
Has anyone seen Joe Biden?
*#WhereIsJoe*
@B dub I did 4 months for getting some marijuana for a friend. Fucking ridiculous. Did I “learn my lesson” after I “paid my debt” to society? I didn’t do anything that was morally wrong and I owed society nothing. Jailing me over that was a waste of your tax dollars and 4 months of my life. The government fucked me over and now I know why the government doesn’t allow felons to have guns. We’d be the first people looking for payback during a rebellion/revolution.
Don’t worry, we will bail them out too. The plan about low level offenses to subpoena at a later date is a super good idea, one that they should be kept for ever and ever. People who would get picked up for small stupid stuff will all of a sudden not be a problem.
Exactly! Illness you’re carrying hundreds of pounds; it’s not that serious!
END CASH BAIL, POLICING FOR PROFIT NO MORE PRIVATELY OWN JAILS!!
Damn straight. End all privatization with the country farmed out to for profit corporations. Start with the prisons. Its inhumane. Thieving bastards.
REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH Drugs were only so wanted after Nixon shifted the blame onto the druggies and the blacks to push the blame past him being an awful president. It just stuck with us. Looks like you don’t know the truth actually, you dumbass.
stewart0312 You’re not okay in the head.
They’re Distorting Your Rhthym 109 I don’t care if you believe if this was brought by the government or not. But please, just take the precautions. This is killing real people.
Bruce Cumming You’re not right in the head, are you?
Did we say “images of long lines outside gun store has gone viral”
It’s really nice that the STUPID LIBERALS are taking the advice of CNN.
Coma White that is such a ridiculous statement; 😂Your neighbors? The ones with their own homes to protect? Better to say the criminals are the ones that will rob you in your home .
@Y. C. I have a creepy feeling you haven’t been social distancing from swollen HOG 😳

You gotta be zombie apocalypse ready!
When this is over 6 to 8 months from now, america will be more segregated. Asians are buying guns because Blacks and Hispanics keep attacking them for covid 19.
Whites are also buying guns since their becoming minorites.
Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw
The irony
No doubt she got ribbed about it heavily at the police academy.
I thought that when I heard her name, perfect. I think it was Stephen Colbert who had a section on people who’s names fitted their occupations, like the gynaecologist called Dr Hyman. I had a botany teacher who’s name was Mrs P Nutt. No kidding😂😂😂😂😂.
Alton Panashe Mazvarirwofa In the Philippines we had a prelate called Cardinal Sin and one of the chef tutors I had was called Robert Cook. When the wife’s president would visit Cardinal Sin at night he would exclaim, “Madame, you shouldn’t come here at this late hour, you know this is the house of Sin.”
Last year’s Xmas gift he promised to send to T was not a beautiful vase. The gift had been spread and delivered in Wuhan between his two ritual trips on his white horse to Mt Whitehead on Oct. 15 and Dec. 3, 2019, where he made up his decision and prayed for the success of the sneak attack. American students at Wuhan Uni or researchers and business people near Wuhan Virology Center, infected, took it back to their homes for Christmas. It has eventually reached the WH and, faking an accident, scratched his archenemy with its spikes. His evil prayer has been fulfilled.
its a coincidence not irony
Loeffler bought her Senate seat. It seems to have been a great investment.
Not if she’s in jail
As do nearly all politicians, in case you haven’t noticed.
Not THIS guy talking coronavirus “knowledge” again…….. 🤢
CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC are gatekeeping Steven Keen, Marianna Mazzucato, Jim Rogers, and even Thomas Pikietty from coming on their networks 😆😂.
@Alex I seriously doubt that
This is what I have to say.

William H Music 2020 bahahaha 🤣
William H Music 2020 with u 🤟🏻
this interview was an embarrassment, and im a fan.
@Mauricio Dobis make sure you pull that plug out before you hit the rack.
@Mauricio Dobis His positions mirror mine. The Social Liberals do not. 🇺🇸👮🇺🇸
@hellsbells1xx Watching Faux news and Frauds or, OAN?
@JB R
Then you will be returning that socialist check they are “sending out”?
NO POT OFFENCES FOR STARTERS> NO MUNIIPLE JAILINGS EITEHR

Learn to fucking spell
john smith learn to spell
@Richard Hammonds I hope they all die
Why does this guy still have a job?
Well I guess it’s time to get the DC Streakers FB group together. This is the opportunity we’ve been waiting patient for. Code brown everyone!
Imagine if all the time and energy and resources wasted on arresting and imprisoning people for using drugs was instead spent on medical and economic preparedness for an event such as the coronavirus.
That’s true.
@Lexo Getti Are you fucking serious? Alcohol is legal, and it’s the worst drug of them all! Not to mention cigarettes
Judgemental dickhead
@The Engineer The difference is *legal* vs. *illegal* something you Marxists tweaks ignore. Dickhead.
This virus will test our health,judicial, and economy system.
Trill Ville 504 And all those systems will fail. We know 😄
@Donny Drumpf Wow you just showcased how stupid and uninformed you are. Might wanna actually check the stats on the economy under Trump. It’s quite obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about and have not looked at the actual numbers.
Economic system. Our economy.
Trill Ville 504 …. if only it was that simple. Please read or reread “the grapes of wrath“.
With the surge in gun sales and ammo the real test will be how Americans treat each other.
And historically that has never worked out well.
We all remember the 9/11 first responders that threw themselves into the fire; and they now cannot even healthcare without fighting for it every year!
I remember this guy two weeks ago… had all kinds of plans bc he wasn’t going to let coronavirus change his life smh
making funeral plans for himself and all of his relatives
Oh man!! Are you telling me the police might have to stop harassing citizens for things that aren’t really crimes and focus on actual police work……what a crazy idea……
Which citizens are they harassing?
@B dub the black and brown you Fu King clown
B dub nice to see you licking boots in ALL the comments that don’t…
@ColeAF And what are you doing putz? Get a life!
@c Lo That’s because they are criminals, you ignoramus.
“Protect” the public. Usually not the word I would use.
Me neither, but it is entertaining !!!
“A storm is coming…” Wasn’t that a line used in Dark Knight Rises
Stormy Daniels said it too.
