  1. Ну так начинайте присасываться, дорогая редакция, чё тормозим?

  2. The Sackler Family sure has wine and dine with Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito

  3. Always get away with just paying some stupid fines.. never ever get locked up so it’s going to keep on happening. Money money. all the people that OxyContin opiates lives that destroying is it ever gonna stop?? Don’t think so (GREED )I am one of the lucky ones I am alive but 25 years are gone no money I’d be better off….

  4. Matthew Rhys Bratchett, one of many lives lost due to the greed. God have mercy on these people 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  5. The true is that the left, the democratic party and all progressist are co-author this terrible current US economic and social situation. High criminal's number, drugs addicts, homeless, riots, lootings, steal and others crimes. you voted for to be US president one incompetent, corrupt, and worst, with socialist ideas. This man destroyed and continue destroying US and all you, radical left, democratic and all who hate Donald Trump, all you are responsible too for this US destruction. Partners of Joe Biden social media like CNN, MSNBC, MBC, ABC and others are responsible too to have hidden the true about Joe Biden crimes and to have lied all time for American citizens and people around the world.

  6. this court needs to go! they are literally fucking us all!

  7. abc propagandists want to tell us men are women, Thursday is baby Friday, they have no idea how politicians could be spies for 40 years when there is no investigative journalism and how a guy blowing up his house surrounded by cops is "a crazy story" while offering no context. Everything out of these fools is CIA talking points or an ad, that's all folks

  8. We know it's an abc tells us their favorite streaming Christmas movie Tuesday but nobody cares about that, we want to know how 20,000 innocent Palestinians bombed to death in a walled Gaza prison is a war crime and if Joe Biden's & Benni Yahu's tribunals will be held concurrently with their corruption trials?

  9. The court will go with whoever pays them more

  10. Appears!? Our Supreme Court is owned by donors! How much has the pharmaceutical industry donated to our Justices .

  11. The deal protecting the sacklers financially is ridiculous. They never even consulted the victims first

  12. Wonder how much money the SC took from the Sacklers.

  13. I’d bet the divide has to do with finances and lack of ethical rules

  14. There's nothing supreme about these judges.

  15. Of course the Supreme Court is torn over what to do. They need to check their bank accounts first to see if the number has gone up.

  16. "Nutcase holdout"? Jesus dude our court system is absolutely dreadful

  17. "EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW" – These words, written above the main entrance to the Supreme Court Building, express the ultimate responsibility of the Supreme Court of the United States. Until Corporations BOUGHT them OUT!
