  8. The entirety of the West is now fascist! The entire ruling class of the west is now the enemy of our people! The ruling class of the West is destroying western civilization!

  11. Weakest federal government of all time. When are you useless dummies gonna enforce the law, release the evidence and hold Bondi in contempt?

  14. A great lady in my estimation…Betty Reid….may the father bless you and keep you strong within his kingdom…you are a role model to all ….❤ 🙏🏻

  17. Of all the f’n gall! Commissar Trump is the most disgusting narcissistic mentally ill POS it the world!
    Classes of Naval Ships are generally reserved for those who have passed away. Maybe it is time to make that happen.

  20. ABC News y'all should be ashamed of yourself. You are running the same dead ass story that you ran in 2019. With your old tired asses working it's just the same old s*** different day. If you can't come up with anything better than that y'all really suck. This should be like a really good news breaking story. But none of y'all can even produce that. Every time you mention Trump's name that's two more votes coming back over to our side y'all might want to flip this and do something better

  23. Hay abc news , you reported o. A women that had been seen being killed and is missing in the waters off the cost of Monterey California ! But what I really find to be a insult to everyone who have and will go kissing is the fact that you sed the she was a blue eyed person ? What the fuc* did having blue eyes have to do with a human being going missing for any resin ? Are you saying that we must give people with blue eyes more then all others ? That have brown or black eyes ? It seems that what your editor what us to believe ! Your trying to make people with blue eyes more important than all else in America and I find that you are doing do in a discriminatory and racist biased act against other races ! I will report your obviously biased reporting ! Sent when dose it matter if who if in danger or has died ,and that we must give those with blue eyes more then people with none blue eyes ?

  24. 13:05 hate to say it but if he was black they would had shot em right there like the recent case of the black woman who'm house they entered when she was 1 who called the cops but she made a statement "I rebuke yu" and it cost her life and the lame ahh cop claimed he was in fear of his life
