    1. @Retro Name WTF?? I didn’t really say anything but WW1 is actually really interesting! I have actually researched the subject vigorously because America hides everything!🙄 GFUS

    2. @Kwarkool Of course all the fascist hanging out on that tarrant site, 8 whatever. Your labels there, you can’t deny it. The database shows it. Go look folks!

    1. @Progressive Humanist The bot will. You realize it’s a bot, right. Most of the comments are bidenbots battling trumpbots

  1. This is the type of behavior that the United States did in Puerto Rico with “birth control “ methods to indigenous women! They lied to them about having medical issues and performed surgeries that prevented them from having children. White supremacy still exists people!

    1. I’m Asian and I’ve never known “white supremacy.” Its a term needed by minorities who refuse to take responsibility for their own failures.

  2. America is running concentration camps along the border, and literally no international media is covering American atrocities. What a shame.

    1. @Nvrmnd Shivvers-Triplett

      I’m just posting simple facts:

      From 2011, Source:
      https://www.jstor.org/stable/23884873

      “This article evaluates the Obama administration’s efforts towards reforming U.S. immigration detention policies. Over the past decade, immigrant rights advocates have increasingly criticized certain policies of the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) system of immigration detention, including the widespread use of private contractors, lack of proper oversight, grouping of violent criminals and non-violent undocumented immigrants (particularly minority women and children) in holding cells, and neglect of detained immigrants in need of medical attention. In reviewing these developments, I contend that the Obama administration must take substantive steps towards reforming the existing system, particularly by instituting legally enforceable standards with penalties for performance failures, moving away from privatization, and applying more effective rulemaking for better management and monitoring of U.S. detention facilities.”

    2. @Nvrmnd Shivvers-Triplett Get a job, there are not more tunnels under it, that’s a lie. EVERYONE has said a lot of things that aren’t true about Covid because they didn’t know anything about it. One thing is true, it was a political attack that came from CHINA and the democrats LOVED it, and destroyed the economy with it and tried to use it as a political tool. It didn’t work though. The average American is smarter than the average Democrat, so nobody is falling for THEIR lies any longer. And one more thing to brighten your day…Trump WILL be YOUR President for four more years…

    1. Hahaha Democrats they’ll never let poor Joe be president, this guy he has tapioca for brain. Kamala she’s already calling it Harris Administration.

  3. In Xinjiang, the Chinese authorities are forcing Uyghur women to have abortions or have intra-uterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) inserted. And the US government quite rightly condemned this state sponsored abuse. So the same abuse is now acceptable because it’s on US soil?

    1. You believe the TrumpVirus is a hoax, yet your own cult leader, in his own words said it is 5x worse than anyone thought. Worse than the flu has ever been. He, himself said it. Yet he lied to you. WHY? WHY did he lie? He said he wants several more million people to die so he doesn’t have to DO anything. So he doesn’t have to spend money (as if it’s his money) oh wait, that’s exactly what he thinks!

  4. The US refuses to recognise international courts of law … and that’s not a coincidence when these crimes against humanity happen.

    1. Dictator trump is above all the laws US has given him the Absolute Power to do anything he wants to do ( with full republican support. )

  5. Hey remember when China harvested organs and y’all all got upset? That was horrible, right? Keep that same energy. I don’t care if they crossed the border “illegally” or not, they still have human rights.

  6. I think it’s time for international human rights organizations to investigate. Concentration camps, forced sterilization. What doctor would do this? Mengele?

  7. Q: Since 45 declared himself a wartime president, isn’t this an issue for the United Nations’ to try as war crimes?
