  1. How disgusting to take away a woman’s right to reproduce . They came here looking for a better life, not to be stripped of their rights to have a child. Gross and Despicable behavior.

  2. I’ve been praying that this is false, but I’m so scared it’s the truth. How and why? It’s inconceivable!

    1. + R. T. Andrews If its coming from Senator Jeff Merkley you can be sure there’s something to it. Merkley is a square shooter with an honest streak in him. He is my Senator from Oregon and along with Senator Ron Wyden are two of the best congressmen extent. Representative Peter DeFazio is also very integral. For a good video on former Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee see his talk on the Senate floor, amazing!

  3. ICE is a sieve for sadists.
    The issue of immigration is so lmportant- the flood of Reagan Refugees may indeed represent a threat to our country; just look what the earlier waves did to the Native American population. But this country has been diminished forever by the nastiness of the ICE Thugs and the viciousness of the arthropod Steven Miller. Why don’t we just melt down the Statue of “Liberty” and use the slag to devalue the currency?

    1. @Max Larkin but but barr has an October surprise……..what could that be…..forcing an IG to manipulate a report that favors his guy?

  4. “President Trump”epitomizes a “oxymoron”
    Trump appears to be an inanimate assassin program to destroy presidencies.

    1. @Satya Richburg Ju An-oxymoron-is-a-linguistic-redundancy,-so-not-really,-Satya.-Trump-is-undoubtedly-a-moron,-and-utterly-redundant.-But-he-doesn’t-‘epitomise-an-oxymoron’-because-that’s-just-meaningless.

  5. Who is supposed to be the ones to look in to the privately own prisons .People jailed without representation separated from their children ,children then lost in the f-caking system.This is American business today .Its a sickening truth !

    1. Wasn’t it the Germans who were capturing these people in the land of Germany rather than the other way around? It’s not like the Jewish people are trying to get in the Germany for a better life or something…

    2. You are 100% correct ! History is repeating its self at this point ! It’s ironic that it’s the United States with tRumps Russian oligarchy leader doing this …

    1. @Dawn-Marie Langlois Indeed he would! Barr is breaking the laws of our beloved U.S. Constitution and when more American’s figure this out Barr will be heading to hiding or heading to jail!

    2. I heard Barr is part of Opis Dei, an extreme religious sect that starts in Catholicism. It sure would explain some things. Their beliefs are really scary!

    3. @Dawn-Marie Langlois Louis-DeJoy-to-destroy-the-USPS.-Michael-R-Caputo-at-HHS-(with-zero-medical-skills).-Peter-Navarro.-ALL_THREE-just-chosen-because-they-shout-at-people-Trump-dislikes.-Ben-Carson-(expert-medical)-looks-after-slum-housing—because-he’s-black.-That’s-the-level-this-fuckhead-works-at.-Kavanaugh-to-corrupt-SCOTUS…Stacked-the-decks.

    4. @Snaggle Toothed SO WELL documented by YOU ..but sad preaching to the converted…FOX ie. Trump news…NOT NEWS REGISTERED as ENTERTAINMENT NOT JOURNALIST BASED…LYING without IMPUNITY

  6. This could mean that Covid 19 have it easier with Persons with Lung Problems due to smoke and smog. How horrible. I pray for my Home State that solutions will soon be found and implemented. BIDEN HARRIS 2020

  7. Sounds like there’s a “doctor/butcher/racist” down in Georgia that might need a little sudden “surgery” himself.

  8. When you have prior Peons elevated to God like status through the delegation of unlimited power by questionable authorities , there’s gonna be abuse.
