[@heatherstahlnecker9270]

thank YOU AMY & Democracy NOW! Keep giving us NEWs/information.

[@lumpy0100]

Thanks, Democracy Now!:)

John is a great American. What they did to him was contemptible. There is a great documentary on what happened to him, and two other whistleblowers, on Netflix, called "Silenced", that I highly recommend. Cheers.

McMaster sounded like he trying to convince us of a untruth like his traitor boss ... /-:

[@rustyjohnson5018]

Trump's antics are precious.

[@emiliobello2538]

Can you be a good American and a whistleblower?

[@bobbiecaress4736]

How do you remove the name president from their names. They dont deserve that title.

DN + indocrination instead of education.... always people who agree with her and mainstream

[@billbrett365]

There is no constitutional prohibition against stupidity. There is no provision for stupidity either, so there is a remote chance of impeachment.

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Can someone please tell me why talking about say the CIA ran torture sites is perfectly OK as long as one doesn't mention Ukraine and the Gestapo/SBU? I'm really trying to wrap my 180 IQ brain around it- and I can't.

The basketball looks like a scam attention scam

[@bobbiecaress4736]

Need I ask did she get raped by putin or kiv president while there?

[@marthacmd]

obama was a consititution lawyer and rarely reference it.... because like every president who was empty headed- that is the criteria for president or any political party/person

[@onomatopoeia162003]

There was 25 of them in total

[@mikeysal231]

Aww how cute. Democracy Now is still a thing. I remember I used to listen to this stuff in graduate school. Lol Back when I was living in a complete bubble.

The frog that seemingly has permanent residence in Amy's throat is so distracting. She's wonderful, of course. But superficial qualities like a smooth speaking voice are taken to be "professionalism" in our media culture. And her constant clearing of her throat and parched-sounding voice diminishes the impact of her reporting/interviewing, even if it's just on an unconscious level. ("Broadcast News" made a similar point.) She should look up how people like Andy Serkis deal with having a diminished voice b/c of vocal strain. It would be worth the effort, I think.
