Joy Reid: ‘Absurd And Infuriating’ For Barr To Compare Shutdowns To Slavery | The ReidOut | MSNBC

On Attorney General Bill Barr calling the coronavirus lockdowns the greatest intrusion of civil liberties since slavery, Joy responds “Let's just be clear: 245 years of forced labor, rape, and the breeding, selling, and violent subjugation of human beings is slavery. And nothing, certainly not being asked to cover sneezes in Walmart, comes anywhere close to that." Aired on 09/17/2020.

    1. Diet soda has been proven to have adverse effects on the brain. It causes dementia. I didn’t know Trump drank diet soda

    1. On February 21, 1975 Nixon’s Attorney General, John N. Mitchell, was found guilty of:
      – CONSPIRACY,
      – OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE,
      – PERJURY.
      And was sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up. He was also disbarred from the practice of law for life.

      After Watergate 48 Republicans also went to prison.

      I can’t wait until William Barr, Trump, and his entire mob organization are locked up.

    1. @Greg M I’m in South Dakota and our dear leader governess Krusty Noes Nothing if following her dear leader in the whole “Herd Mentality” trope! Especially with the kids.

    2. Let her find out how he felt when she gets covid-19 and finds out what not being able to breathe is really like — except that in her case, she’ll have done it to herself.

    3. @World I agree fully. I have also offered to intubate anyone who needs it, but, of course, my training was for literally “in the field” so, Sans SUX as we say.

  1. GO JOY! You tell it like it is. America is a mess and it will stay that way – until it starts to listen to smart people.

    1. @Luedog – people have been watching CNN and MSNBC since their founding in 1980 and 1996 respectively, but we as a society never showed this level of stupidity until now.
      Since you don’t watch CNN and MSNBC regularly, how do you explain your level of stupidity?

    2. Much of what you’re witnessing is a result of the failure of your public education system combined with the systemic Corporate takeover of your economy which contributed to that failure in a major way.

    1. Fake news. If it sounds stupid, then it probably never happened how they say it happened or is some isolated or fringe incident.

  2. We should educate him with a good up close and personal experience and perspective from behind the bars so he’ll know the difference!

  3. People who truly love their country, don’t pack up and leave when they’re unhappy, they stay and do the work needed to better their country. Also, true patriots make sacrifices, and take precautions, to protect their fellow citizens. After all, *we the people* are our country, and right now, more than ever, we ought to be holding each other up, not knocking one another down.
    🇺🇸 UNITED WE STAND; DIVIDED WE FALL. 🇺🇸

    1. @LotWizzard
      Bone spurs can be removed with surgery, I’m sure Trump had it done at some point.
      You didn’t serve and I’m sure it wasn’t a physical reason probably more like cowardice.

    2. @Ken Bugbee when did he have them removed? right after the war ended? one report confirms he couldnt remember which foot it was

    3. @Ken Bugbee i am very anti war. i will not fight in a politicians war but i will fight and die for what i believe. im not a coward

    4. @Donna Bordage
      Truth isn’t something you see into it is something that is! The crimes charged against Trump associates are all processed hypocritical bogus charges like Roger Stone for supposedly lying to congress? Clapper, Brennan, Comey and many other democrats have done the same thing. General Flynn was falsely charged with the Logan Act something that has never been charged in the history of our country. Trump has been through more unjust phony investigations than anybody because of the dems hate for him. He has never been charged with anything! Anything you dislike about Trump is based on emotions such as the way he tweets or speaks. You need to focus on his actions! Action wise he has done more good for the country, the military, blacks than Obama did in 8 yrs and Biden has done in 47 yrs! You can not name 5 good things Biden has done for the country or 5 good things he’s done for the black community in his 47yrs in government?

    1. @Mox Avenger you’re a f****** moron you know that. If you didn’t I’m telling you now you’re a f****** moron

    2. @Dan H
      It’s terrible that we have an administration that actually follows the Constitution isn’t it ?
      Get used to it , liberals are finished.

    3. @Ken Bugbee 🤣😂🤣😂 liberals are finished? lol Regardless you’re a russian troll or ws domestic terrorist sympathizer . Your irrelevant nonsense BS comments says it all how your brain functions.
      The entire Country is doomed under this fascist bigot administration. And The good news is you can deny whatever you want and downplay it like the dumb stupid liar in chief. The entire world knows it what’s happening in this Country. 🤣😂

    1. You say that yet every online school now has no books. And your party created Jim Crow law and supported slavery #HowDemocratsStarted

    1. @Retro Name there’s no one more hateful than your racist white supremacist president, that you love so much, yet cares not for you. Joy doesn’t lie to the American people everyday. Joy is not responsible for the death of 200k Americans and counting.
