impeach NOW
Unbelievable.
How you can you read “rights” to a criminal who does not have those “rights” to begin with because they are not from our country? He has not run it by congress yet?
You are absolutely right, PwH...IMPEACH NOW!
The actions of this administration and its enablers border on madness.
Impeachment? TO MILD!
No more captives; problem solved.

I hear nothing but crickets from the democrats in the congress.....
No, it’s madness.
“No more captives; problem solved.”
Right! Take No Prisoners!

2. If a person surrenders, torture him and then slay him.
3. Repeat the process.
Nuts.
