    1. Republicans are delaying action? How about both sides are delaying action! Democrats are still trying to get their own political agendas, like bail out for Democrat run states, in the Heroes Act. Hey Bass, Dem VP wannabe, there is a federal CV19 plan for States that are not being followed by some Democratic ran States. New York’s numbers do not justify and more shut downs period! New Jersey mayor arresting Gym owners for wanting to make a living while the NJ death rate is well below the seasonal Flu death %? This Democratic political game of not allowing people to safely make a living just to keep the economy down and keep un-employment numbers high, is pathetic! Is it fair that Local dem gov’t put NO RESTRICTIONS on BLM Antifa MOBS while limiting their citizen’s rights to make a living? Time to #walkaway: https://www.walkawaycampaign.com/

  2. Barr will be a no show as he as been so many time. If anyone comes it will be some third level flunky

    1. Barr is an honorable, brilliant and autonomous lawman. His pursuits are necessary

    2. @Crypto /Hydra why do you have to be so rude?
      Name calling is so 1st grade, so grow up be nice and use your words. There is no perfect choice.

    1. Norm MacLeod I’m afraid that won’t happen. The orange one may try to burn the world down before he leaves office.

    2. Norm MacLeod : No he won’t. If the Republic still stands in January (a doubtful prospect, unless you get the secret police units disbanded, right now! BEFORE they’re expanded, as Donny announced) he will be disgraced, tried and jailed for life, with his estate going to pay compensation to his victims; just like his friend, Epstein, but with less real money. So will half the GOP, which is why they aren’t planning on ALLOWING elections. Did you all think these criminals would just sit around WAITING to be JAILED in January? Did you think they don’t KNOW what’s coming? What do you think the secret police are FOR, America?

    1. VP selection is apparently supposed to be very clandestine and sneaky. But idc, I just want a new VP and P already lol

  3. they will never come up with a “strategy”. They’re waiting till people a dead. A dictator couldn’t give a sh***t about the “people”……and the House is implementing political correctness…….it’s sickening and nauseating to listen to these congress people

    1. Absolutely. I get so tired of the media talking heads ask that question… when? Haven’t they learned by now? You’re opening line says it correctly!

    1. @invisible man
      I’m just curious.
      Why would anybody with half a brain click on a link provided by a random stranger?

    2. @Richard Brautigan If you don’t feel comfortable clicking on a link then just google Joe Biden and the Iraq war on you tube.

  4. Are we sure that GOP members are no descendants of Nazi’s that fled to America after the war?

    1. @The Verdant thank you for your answer..as i said i have heard bits and pieces over the years. Was just hoping maybe it had been better compiled..so i could be lazy . lol..thanks again for the info.
      Have as good a day as is humanly possible !!!

    2. @Thia wolf I’m working on it, just hope I can get it finished before the election. Thank you, you have a great day too.

    4. @The Verdant thats a undertaking to be sure..i wish you great success . an hope to read what you discover . good luck !

  5. Why don’t the media mention one truth: If a person receiving unemployment benefits is called back to work by their employer, and they refuse, then that employer can report them to the state. The state will then cut off their unemployment benefits. This notion that people can sit at home and draw unemploment with impunity is just not true.

    1. And unemployment is not forever. Right now numbers are high so there are extended periods of time to receive unemployment. The minute the numbers start going down the number of weeks you will qualify will go down. If you get called back to your job and you say no you get cut off. If you are not actively looking for work , you get cut off. Know the facts before you comment. That includes the House and Senate. They are talking lies and are getting away with it.

  6. I really like Ms Bass. We need more public servants like her. Politics might become a genuinely noble calling again.

  7. No one is talking about this time of great imbalance in America is the perfect time for foreign nations to attack us.

    1. Don’t count on it she will have to go somewhere else to get a piece of commie assbinden will not be communist binden not ever so keep your pants on.harold

  8. Karen Bass at the moment is roasting AG Barr on racist implementation of excessive force in our justice system.
