  1. Barr has health care and 20 Million dollars. He’ll be fine. He should be thinking about the victims of Covid who have no money or healthcare.

    1. All that wont do him any good come nov 3 in his tin can..
      he might even be donkey’s personal butler in the tin can after the election..

    2. @jamhanitab They have been fing the American people since in office. I can’t wait until they go to prison and see how they like getting f*cked.

    3. Get earning and then get Health care … do you expect people to pay for your health care?!? Please cry if you do …

    4. @science wins I did not see a lie from our President. The President has done a great job with COVID response: When Trump called for the China ban in Feb every Democrat called him xenophobic. He did it anyway. When states called for ventilators our President got major American industries to retool *that week* to get them made. He sent so many to NY it could not even use them all and sent them to other states. He sent the Hospital ship to NY and Cuomo could have used it for the COVID positive Seniors that were returned to nursing homes at Cuomo’s order. Cuomo killed hundreds and is now under fire for his actions. Now we are in the final phase of a vaccine that experts said we would not have for 2 years. Trump gets more done in a week than most politicians get done in their entire careers. It’s a highly communicable virus that needs to spread until there is heard immunity.

    1. @Agolf Twittler NATIONALIST a person that strongly identifies with their own Nation and vigrously supports its interests to the exclusion of interests of other nations.
      You are a complete bafoon trying to make something out of nothing. I am a Nationalist that happens to be white. Does not make me a white nationalist numbnuts.

    2. @Agolf Twittler David Duke supported a Democrat that was running for President. Again you have been debunked.
      Wow TDS is running deep. When you wake up you think of Trump?? Does your alphabet soup say Trump?? Go to bed you think of Trump??
      I think you have TDS, there is a cure. Stop watching fake news numbnuts. Untuck and let the hair grow back.

    3. @Carol nothing illegal about protesting. Nothing illegal about bearing arms. There were no swastika present, lies. Fake news.
      Portland has what now 56 days of riots?? Fires, vandalism, attacking police. Complete dysfunctional Goverment. Seattle same thing. Millions in property damage several killed. Class action lawsuits.

  2. He expects us to believe these he doesn’t read Trumps tweets when he literally said Trumps tweets on Roger Stone aren’t helpful… Pathetic

    1. @Carol The footage will be leaked before long, just like John Bolton and Mary Trump’s books were.
      Something we all look forward to.
      Or most of us at least.

    2. @CarolWe better win the election. After Trump aided Flynn, Flynn Posted a QAnon oath (“Where one goes, we all go”) for their Q cult on his Twitter account and other mediums. The Q cult is crazy and supports overthrowing the US and all of our Allies with Trump. They’re excited about the Pay-per-view executions of Democrats, non-Trump Republicans,and our Allies world leaders. They plan to start with the Clinton’s. The FBI has them at the top of the Domestic terrorist list. They aren’t the joke they look like, they’re crazy. And the president retweets them, winks at them, tells their grotesque crazy fantasies in gory detail like; Dems stealing and eating children to stay young, and he speaks to them at rallies. 2020 is like the dark ages. Such a weird time.

    1. @Dave Ponsford There are no more crazies on Republican side than Democrats, by the way Nadler says Antifa don’t exist.

    1. Eastern Woods : Their current motto is, “Steal the elections, and create a massive, illegal secret police unit, to suppress America’s reaction.” Not as catchy as yours, but just as real. You need to get these unconstitutional SS units OUTLAWED. Right now! Before it’s too late

    1. Because the GOP in Congress benefits directly from the current White House. They fear tRump more than the voters because most of them already have full control over their voters.

    2. Republican corruption the same reason the Senate republicans wouldn’t allow witnesses

    1. Oh yeah I said wanna, got something to say about that too I’m sure. You probably had to used grammar check just to find my on purpose errors.

    2. oh, never mind. Jesse is possible troll. ignore. even if not troll, not informed, so ignore. Trolls attack people, not issues.

    3. @espy anon yes, I just saw that too. I will ignore Jesse, he is a troll. Jesse keeps putting same exact words on other people’s post likely hoping for a response. I will no longer respond.

    1. Michael Bray It’s a fact Black Lives Matter is a domestic terrorist organization and should be treated as such… Democrats support this type of behavior because their communist at heart

    2. @BKD Vickers Barr was trying (again) to picture the protestors as violent. BUT we all have seen the veteran, beaten with a baton until his hand was fractured. And he was doing NOTHING against it. Then he was tear gassed [or whatever bBill Barr would call this irritant causing fume from a canister] without NOT any reason at all BUT just to be violent against a peaceful person.

    3. @Ash Roskell what I have feared as well.  Republicans cannot be ignorant to this, so what do they get out of ruining our country?

    4. New Netflix DOCUMENTARY next month. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NOW TRYING TO BLOCK

      Watch “Trump Admin Orders Filmmakers To Hide Footage Until After Election” on YouTube
      3yrs of never seen footage of ICE ON THE INSIDE

      https://youtu.be/uphc3NxTipY

  3. AG Barr is so corrupt he acts like he doesn’t know he works for the people and not Donald Dump!!!!! SMH

    1. @Kath Hammett so you think calling the ground in the forest , “the forest floor” is a mistake ? Why don’t you Google it ?

    2. @Kath Hammett millions of people put disinfectant in their bodies everyday . Did you quit school.early ?

    3. @Kath Hammett do you know the disinfectant millions of people put in their bodies everyday ? Do you know there are many lawsuits in the courts right now claiming the noise from those wind generators DO CAUSE CANCER ?
      This is just TOO easy , Kath !

  4. CONGRESSWOMAN, REP PRAMILA JAYAPAL .”THANK YOU” FOR YOUR GREAT JOB AND THOSE QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE PROVEN TO AMERICANS WHY A.G WILLIAM BILL BARR NEEDS TO RESIGN OR JAIL BECAUSE HE IS A PERSONAL LAWYER BEING PAID BY AMERICANS TAX MONEY WHILE HE IS COVERING UP FOR DONALD TRUMPS CRIMES. FOR EXAMPLE ” MUELLER”S REPORT.

    1. If you want to understand Politics you have to watch the hearings and questioning’s live. All News cannels are transmitting their narrative and by doing so loose all of their objectivity.
      If you have watched the questioning of
      AGBarr
      and have actively watched some of the impeachment hearings (not some CNN, or MSNBC´s edited version, the real live once) and still vote for anyone in
      “TheDemCoalition”
      than you can’t be helped.

    1. who , Obamas wingman and boy Eric Holder lol??? you boobs are the biggest hypocrites and partisan dopes

    1. Pramila Jayapal is a bug-eyed freak. She had no intention of asking questions. She was just there to grandstand and interrupt Barr with her stupid little pre-written speeches everytime he tried to answer one of her “questions. She is disgusting and so are the rest of the democrats who were on that panel yesterday.

    2. um the previous AG said the president was his wingman and boy lol. you boobs are such hypocrites and partisan hacks

    3. @Primal Werewolf Meanwhile, you make excuses for actual criminals who burn down buildings and assault police officers. I think you need to re-examine your values.

    1. @patricia lafountain I read all about the Ukraine war, Democrats, Wikileaks, CIA, DOJ, news, archives etc. You just don’t read that much and watch too much TV. I personally think Democrats are traitors so my enemies enemy is my best friend.

    2. @pneumatictrousers VOTING BLUE all the way. Trump and his very best people are going down. The only way Trump can win is with Foreign help. He asked Russia, China and even Iran to help him win in the 2020 election. Just as the Russians did in 2016. Him and so called very best people are all crooks and are going to be voted out.

    1. Pramila Jayapal is a bug-eyed freak. She had no intention of asking questions.

    2. @Jesse Stevenson Hey Fox news is waiting for you. You know the Republican propaganda network that called Covid-19 a hoax. Why bother complaining about the Dems when you need to be more concerned with how your GOP buddies in the Senate struggle to be on the same page about the next Covid bill. The GOP would have that bill ready to go if Coporate America needed another 530 billion dollar bailout to replenish their slush funds. By the way the same Democrats you hate made sure that Americans got $600 unemployment benefits. The GOP didn’t want to do a bailout for us(that includes you) Just remember the very party you support wont have your back if Covid-19 effects shuts down where you work. If that means nothing to you tear that 1200 stimulus check up and throw it in the garbage because the Democrats pushed for us to get that.
