Great channel. Mayor of NYC actually got some great comments in on this one...wow.
I love the ability this channel gives me to hear what our .gov is up to.
What about the cases where the selling of marijuana has been plea bargained to possession?????
I don’t know if I would have allowed myself to be spoken to like that labour department person. Before they even said I knew it was a republican.

witty is a career corporate criminal. he is an ally to satan.
Representative Thalib sounds like she's yelling that's why I can never listen to her speak. It's something that a vocal coach can teach her. It's annoying because the little bit I did hear before turning her off did not sound like something to scream out. However because she isn't using the nuances of her vocal range properly, she always sounds like someone whose speaking out loud and never feels heard. She is also always talking about Palestine. Maybe she should run for office over there cause I never hear her speak on anything else.
Yeah. Speech 💬 🗨 NOT BREAKING STUFF! LIKE IT DON'T COST US MONEY TO MAKE..OK 🙄
Conflict around the world would come to a halt if human life becomes a priority. Stop creating value and labeling people and world peace will begin. If change begins now tensions and views around the world will rapidly change as time passes. We have to all change for the benefit of all because we are all the same and we all have been manipulated for thousands of years to think and live a certain way. Dig deep in your thoughts and realize the truth about religion and politics. Is it real or is it man made to manipulate your life choices for control. Everyone on this planet has a choice and choices are limited by beliefs and laws. Money is the number one reason for all problems on this planet so why do we use it if the solution is to abandon money.

"I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting." God knew we would never be without sin. Jesus wiped your slate clean. You must have faith in him as your Savior. Live in eternal heaven.

@@kr2934 Philosophy of ancient laws meant to govern the people. That is what religion is. It is not faith in god you believe in. You are living your life with faith within an ancient society of false manipulation. When humanity finally breaks the chains of mythology then and only then will world peace happen. We prove god isn't real everyday. Humanity and the individual choices we make control our lives. Genesis 1:27: “God created man in his own image! If your faith is so strong then why has humanity been divided for thousands of years. I have read every religious book on the planet even some that are not public. The dark ages programmed humanity with false belief. Only we control our fate friend. Take care
Amen "TRUMP"
