  1. The music industry needs to step up!!!

  2. One good thing about this happening is that atrocious behavior has been exposed. Another good thing is that we have been able to meet two wonderful gentlemen, who both happen to be named Justin! Very bright, caring people! I appreciate Ms.Johnson being decent, supportive and fair regarding Justin and Justin. Things WILL get better!

  3. Tennessee is a racist state everybody knows that.

  4. Asa Hutchinson sounds awful like he knows exactly what to say in order to deflect enough so that he doesn't have to make a rational critique about how bad Republicans are for this nation.

  5. I’m a citizen of Tennessee and am ashamed of the hateful actions of our legislature. Fight on, Tennessee Three. The people support you and you represent us.

  6. The woman survived by a single vote; glad she pointed that out.

  7. I'm not sure why democrats don't want to have Biden reelected to office. He has done a good job as president. When you think about what he faced when entering what was left to him after Trump did so much damage to our country. Give him credit where it is due.

  8. @A.R.I.T.H.M.E.T.I.C.
    Good Humour😅
    JUST ICE CREAM (skimmed milk)
    @a .rat.in.the.house.may.
    eat.the.ice.cream🍦
    ("hooked on phonics" anagram)

  9. Racism is alive an’ well in the inbred state

  10. Is this a test case to see if new ga law giving da control if she acts revolutionary

  11. Yes God bless these young people rising up to do all this Injustice in our capital and in the end the White House and wherever it is and I'm praying and I'm asking everybody else out there that believe that these young people are sent here by God to challenge these people and what's doing doing what's right there gun control laws should be pass we don't want to see no more of our young people out here scared parents cared to send the kids to school because they come back in a body bag God bless y'all and we are praying for you young people and keep up the good work in Jesus name

  12. Hollowed out children. HOW does he not have an opinion!

  13. The constitution was written before centuries of weapons development & before school shootings, and the gun legislation proposed isn't going to deprive citizens of the right to own and bear arms. Citizen access to weaponry covers a wide spectrum that even includes WMDs, so where the line needs to be drawn for the majority of voters is currently being forced by the abuse of weapons like the AR & AK models. Were it not for "people behaving badly" in ways that threaten the physical safety of others, think of how many fewer freedoms we would voluntarily relinquish, how many fewer laws we'd ask to have passed, and how much less tax money would be spent on investigation, apprehension, litigation, incarceration, Etc..
    Please do share alternative choices to stop mass murders (& inflicting disabilities on many survivors) that the preponderance of evidence (from research and foreign policies) indicates "common sense gun laws" would accomplish.
    How about shaming violent criminals whose actions threaten everyone's liberties, instead of folks trying to protect the victims?

  14. Looked like an insurrection to me…

  15. American is behind you!

  16. What if this incident was not their first offense, but it was her first offense? Could that explain why she kept her job while those other two did not?

  17. Racist Tennessee, Johnny Reb traitors, still fighting the Civil War.

  18. Democracy is messy , anything else is dangerous..

  19. Violence and death is always a terrible outcome of dispute, as much in Isreal as in Ukraine… What most people and certainly all media output misses ia that the ongoing violence in Isreal and the middle east was ordained biblicaly and gropolitically some 3000 years ago. There will never be peace in the middle east as long as the state of Isreal exists. FYI: Isreal will still be standing when the second coming happens

  20. Asa definitely a "good ole boy from the South", bless his little red socks.😏

  21. Hutch is out of the race, already trash. If you are running for president it's an American issue. Don't vote for this man. 😈

  22. Racist Tennessee, Johnny Reb traitors, still fighting the Civil War.

  23. We could not have started evacuating sooner. There was no Military support to go along with that decision. Trump sent the troops home.

  24. I have a brother who lives in Arkansas. He is a MAGA Republican. His in-laws are white and strong MAGA Republicans. We're staunch Democrats. Both my parents are die-hard Democrats. I was surprised when I found out that he changed his party affiliation. I come from a mixed race. When I heard my brother changed his party line, I was surprised. My brother can pass as a white man, and that goes true with some of my siblings. As a result, I have nieces and nephews who are blonde and blue-eyes based on my great grandparents from Italy and Spain on my father's side. My mother's heritage is also half European, Portugal on her father's side and Asian, Indo-Chinese, Filipino from her mother's side. My heritage also consists of the Austronesian race from both sides of my parents. I am a Pacific Islander born in Guam. I've experienced racism here in the U.S. just from my skin color. I'll bet you, if I bring my family with me anywhere and anyplace, the perceptions of negativity and racism are vanquished. It happened to me and still is happening but less, in numbers. Integration is a very crucial format in our society, as well as education, tolerance, and compassion.

  25. The MURDER of 6 people because guns are wrapped in candy wrappers, IS A NATIONAL ISSUE.

  26. Hutchinson proves himself a mealy-mouthed politician in the worst sense of the word – he won't give an answer based on ethics if it conflicts with his political future. Huge fail – he won''t last till December.
