    1. Please Interview Dr. Bandy X. Lee, Yale School of Medicine wrote May 13th in the DC Report, “Genocide: Trump’s Final Solution To Immigrants And Minorities “Let’s Call His Purposeful Bungling of the Pandemic Response What It Is—Genocide. According to the United Nation’s Genocide Convention, the perpetration of genocide requires an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Since the White House itself has acknowledged the disproportionate deadly effects of the virus on minority communities, the intent can no longer be denied.” I would include the elderly & other vulnerable populations. Trump doesn’t need gas chambers when he’s got COVID. And please keep questioning Mr. Woodward’s unjustifiable & unethical four plus month delay on releasing vital information. He knew “what & when” about a couple hundred thousand lifetimes ago… ).- Thank you.

    2. Nine Fools Wise Folks laughed when I said just what you stay here, this is Trumps American Genocide. If he could repeat the Holocaust with everyone except rich white people, he would do it in a New York Second. He would sell Alaska back to Putin (or worse) and rent the rest of the US to China. Trump believed what Putin told him, “together we will rule the world”. Trump is egotistical enough to believe Putin would have him along for the ride to move on adding the US to the evil empire. As soon as Trump finished his Putin checklist of acquisitions, Putin would no longer need Dim Donnie. They would find Trumps money in Putin’s accounts and Trumps carcass in some Siberian grave, finely chopped. Trump is the greatest present this Communist/Socialist ever received. Trump and all those Senators that visited Moscow in July 2018, have been compromised. Your standard fare for visiting dignitaries. Kompromat . Find Compromising material for blackmail or persuasion. Bet Trump and those Senators are holding their breath since that visit.

    3. @Nine Fools Wise
      Trump and Jared Kushner believed that the virus wouldn’t spread beyond blue states like CA and NY, so they abandoned a national testing plan in favor of a political strategy in an attempt to make Democratic leaders look bad. Just as trump conflates BLM protesters with rioters, and exploits chaos and division in an attempt to vilify Democrats, the trump administration tried to exploit a public health threat to achieve a similar goal.
      In an effort to vilify and misrepresent Democrats and anyone else who opposes him, Trump is playing politics with all of our lives. That’s just plain evil.

    1. @Raul Rodriguez he wanted to go out with a bang I guess, hopefully it will include some prison time which is probably not the kind of retirement he was counting on.

    2. @D don’t be afraid. If Trump tried that he would be rebuked by the supreme court ……that is if it ever got to that level. The likely scenario is Trump will be dragged out of the white house kicking and screaming rigged.

    1. If you study tRump history you’ll see a very similar pattern utilized his entire adult life. basically lie, cheat, steal, con, grift and he utilizes a barrage of lawyers and endless $$$ taking his ‘troubles’ all the way up the ‘legal’ ladders till ‘most’ just ‘bail’… well as prez… he ran into ‘difficulty’ just nonchalantly going about biz same… albeit he’s made adjustments… but still very obvious to a trained eye and sound mind.

    2. my-name-is nobody your elected officials made however he conducted his business perfectly legal. Are you going to go on about some moral or ethical high ground all while you support candidates that played a direct part in the legalization of full term abortions?
      You seem to call upon “morality” when it suits your narrative. They call folks like that Hypocrites. Do you know what that word means? I encourage you to look it up.

    1. @Nancy M Ross That Bill would love to fire the IG, he is afraid of the consequences. Nope, he won’t get away with it if he dares to fire the IG.

    1. the REPUBLICAN controlled senate won’t act. important distinction. lumping the dems in with them is a “fine people on both sides” fallacy. words and semantics matter.

    2. that may be true, however… check this scenario… IF tRump somehow slides thru… and IF the Congress holds blue and IF the Senate ‘flips’ BLUE… how long till baRr is impeached and the prez impeached and removed by reintroducing new evidence with a Senate that’s not a puppet of the tRump camp?… he’s out of office by 2021… and in trials 2022…

    1. Barr’s actions are demonstrably well and truly over, above and beyond “insanely corrupt” – unless you’re in total denial… If you are in said denial, take a hard look at yourself in the mirror. This country’s main problem will stare right back at you.

    2. Stelus_ Inc. ah so you may criticize him but any opposition to your claim is auto-wrong and it’s my fault because I disagree with you? Ok fascist, whatever you say.

    3. @William Bailey : No, you are wrong. Barr’s actions are clearly articulated to be corrupt by his peers and legal and constitutional scholars. Including Republicans.

    4. @hpqz hpqz ever notice that the more Barr digs into the Mueller investigation, theres more resistance these people put up? Why?

    1. @West House sure he donated his salary and steals from his charities. He stiffed contractors stole from charities and frauded citizens with Trump University and had to pay a twenty five million dollar fine. With his criminal history he should have been disqualified to even be s candidate

    2. N S How would I know? I’m in LBK TX. How’s your shrine to joe Biden? You get them roses trimmed? Bet you dream of playing with his leg hair.

    1. @Jeff Randall yes they will. Both houses will be Blue. Trust me then he will be the only president ever impeached twice. Its coming. He wont get re elected. Why did kellyanne quit. She knows he is in big trouble

    2. @The Mahamushi please, allow me to let you sound less ignorant. The impeachment process is exactly the same as going to court. You are found innocent or guilty = Impeached or not impeached. If the government official is found innocent, everything ends there. If it’s found guilty, then the case goes to the Senate or in court will be to the judge to decide on punishment. In this case after being impeached the senate decides punishment or not, that means stays or is removed. You can acquit the punishment but the FIMPOTUS stain stays for life.

    3. @The Mahamushi First Trump was Impeached in his first term, Nothing will ever change that. As for the 10 counts of obstruction, the GOP controlled Senate is the reason he would not be impeached for that. Remember the REFUSAL of the Senate during Trumps Impeachment trial where they refused to admit evidence, allow witnesses etc.

    1. Jesus Anaya Dah..But I thought all communists were friends? BLM are Marxists too Comrade! Btw Trump 2020! Get ready for the Landslide. How’s that make you feel?

    2. N S explain what principles the left live by. By the way how is it greed to just want to keep what you earned? Isn’t stealing the fruit of another mans labor just another word for slavery? Why yes, that’s what Lincoln taught us. Greed is taking what isn’t yours or worrying what someone else has that you don’t. I’ve never seen a more Greedy and covetous group than the left. I don’t want anything given too me. I just expect to keep the fruit of my own labor. I’m no mans slave.

    1. my-name-is nobody what about your opinion on when the FBI director said Hillary lies under Oath. Should she be jailed also? Asking for a friend.
