    1. @Tylorian If you are bored you could always go and volunteer at your local morgue. They need help as does your local hospital. I’m sure you’d find that more rewarding than just chatting rubbish on here.

    2. Yep. It was not a good day. Furthermore, he had federal officers fire tear gas and rubber bullets so he could walk across the street for the photo op. Said officers also physically assaulted international journalists, among others, with extreme brutality.

  1. Joy baby girl listen have no doubt they would be dead blood would still be on the street and no doubt bragging about it

    1. Kristie Marie, you’re utterly wrong. “Baby girl” comfortingly reminds us we are someone’s baby and she didn’t say BLM was a Terrorist organization. She simply agreed that white people get away with murder while black people are the ones murdered by cops.

      Lighten up on the “you can’t say that because I get offended” crap. People are going to be people. They’re not all hateful just because they say something on your, “I read it on the internet and it said I should be offended” list. I absolutely love when someone reminds me that I am my mother’s daughter. Get a clue.

    2. MS NBC purposely hired this crazy racist lady to make white people hate themselves it’s a part of the New World order of Biden’s America

    3. @Trap Daddy if you hating yourself off of what she said good. You wouldn’t be hating yourself if there was nothing to hate, then her statements shouldn’t have affected you unless you are racist. We not about to play this reverse Uno game that y’all like to play. We have never had the notion to come out at night with the sole purpose of rounding y’all up for murder and torture. We do not own institutions of which those they’re in look at you differently like an outcast or criminal. These are y’all’s historical facts. You can’t change it you can’t deny it. Bringing those facts up is not racist. Pointing at racism is not racist in itself. All of y’all tricks have been exposed by yourselves. Once enough people see what y’all been doing, all this manipulation of Truth, we win. Y’all have already took y’all lies beyond belief, we can see right through the lies. And whether you know it or not January 6th y’all gave up the moral high ground. There is literally nothing black people can do that is worse than what y’all did. And y’all know it. It don’t matter how many lies you tell how many reverse racist Uno cards you pull out, unless BLM going to blow up the White House or something it’s on y’all

  2. That is the reality. It was the reality for my parents. It’s the reality I currently live in. And unfortunately it will be the reality my daughter will live in. How do you change hearts, if it reads “over my dead body?”

    1. @Naomi Bee Maybe remind them every time they look at TV they should thank a Mexican. 😁
      ”Guillermo GonzΓ‘lez Camarena (17 February 1917 – 18 April 1965) was a Mexican electrical engineer who was the inventor of a color-wheel type of color television, and who also introduced color television to the world.”

  3. Because they know for a FACT they have β€œwhite privilege” a privilege that is dwindling in the TECH age.

  4. You are so right Joy. Plus the death toll would have been enormous. Meaning that black people would have been slaughtered.

  5. She 100% right. πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€βœŠπŸ½βœŠπŸ½βœŠπŸ½βœŠπŸ½βœŠπŸ½πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

    1. Any time a Republican says ANYTHING, they lie. It’s difficult to find any Republicans who don’t support the violent overthrow of our government and ripping the Constitution to shreds. And it’s IMPOSSIBLE to find any Trump Cult worshippers with any connection to the real world of facts.

    2. @Dennis Harrell There are a few good Republicans. (Sarcasm) But seriously, not all but a vast majority of the Republican party has been headed over the cliff for decades fighting Democracy with voter suppression and now they not only went over the cliff they also found the ‘Rabbit Hole’ and went down that. Lie-a-Minute Trump is in a class all his own and brought the party of insurrection along with him.

  6. Who built the gallows for Pence, there must be video, why isn’t anyone reporting on the who built the gallow ?

    1. — I know. I didn’t watch much of the second impeachment (second, can you imagine?) but I thought they’d make a bigger deal out of the gallows.

    2. @bearly traincot right, that’s the one part that they cannot deny what they intentions it seem like to me that this second impeachment was just a bunch of political theater. I think the Democrats was just trying to get the facts on record for future references not so to actually impeach Trump, I feel like it was a bad move. They basically bent to what the Republicans wanted. It wouldn’t be so bad if they would have just called the Republicans out on the BS in real time instead of letting it ride, now you got half of the country thinking that they actually made good points but all they were doing was lying the whole time basically unchallenged. It’s like the whole thing hinged on the fact that Trump was not president during the second impeachment but remember Mitch McConnell is the one who scheduled the impeachment after the 20th for the sole purpose of having that argument. something that I have noticed over the past 16 years or so being into politics, it’s that when Democrats do a speech or making a point about something that is universal to both parties the Republicans would come along right after to make their speech and instead of making their own points they’re too busy trying to chop the Democrats down and that’s it that’s their game. Every time. Never any good ideas unless it benefits them all it is just, underminded Democrats, underminded Democrats that’s it.

    3. I have been wondering the same thing! Who was the person or the people who built that dayum hangman’s noose at the Capitol!?
      Trump supporters just walked right past that like it was nothing? like it was a Thursday?
      I too wonder what happened with that because I haven’t seen any news about it, and I’m not sure why because there was a shot of some guy standing right there on the gallow platform arranging the noose!
      I tend to believe that it wasn’t just for Mike Pence but it was also for anybody who wasn’t a Trump supporter or anybody who they deemed as their enemy!

    4. They built the same gallow for President Obama…in fact, they went as far as to create a doll to represent him in a lynching… No one is asking this question for such vile act for him…WHERE WAS THE OUT RAGE??!!!!

    5. @Brown Girl that’s not true, a lot of people were enraged about that. But that wasn’t my point. May point is that I think the Republican Party thought it was all tongue in cheek. But we don’t really know if they would have hung him.

  7. To other outsiders –
    Ms Reid doesn’t say it all. The past 4 years have made undeniable the truth that the core of America is WHITE nationalism, not democracy.

    1. NO

      1:7, <15% The deplorable and despicables already think and act like a 'silent majority' don't put more visions of sugar plumbs in their fat white heads. They are a distinct but vocal minority

    2. … Honestly, I see a lot more people telling the narrative, than the people proving that it’s true.

      America has proven that it would sooner divide people one way and say its another.

    3. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ‘Œ
      What planet are you living on. Perhaps you’re not old enough to remember what real racism looks like.

  8. Thats true. During the BLM protest they had national guard, yet when republicans overthrowing democracy those cops were taking selfies
