Focusing in on how millions of Americans are still facing the virus without any system in place from the administration, and yet, barr’s DOJ is still working to remove the ACA in the courts.

He does not handle the pressure well. He wants his little five minute break, and he has to have it now! His obvious, red-faced stress cannot compare to Hillary's cool composure. It's astonishing.

Because it is a real thing. It is when riot police take pot shots with pepper balls and munitions to provoke anger in the crowd. Tempers flare and then, riot cops use that to rain hell down upon previously peaceful crowds. Riot police create riots, and is absolutely going to be worse at protests against police brutality and injustice.
