As Trump Unravels, GOP Rep. Blasts 'lunatics' In Party | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Reminder: Donald Trump’s presidential immunity expires on January 20th, 2021, at 12pm Eastern Time.
😂…. Effective January 20th 2021at 12:01 PM….. Donald Trump officially becomes property of the POLICE !! 🚔🏃💨💨🚓…😂
@Anti Socialite but a law would end the possibility of another OLC GUIDELINE. Yeah it could end with an executive order and a lawful AG but we really need to make sure nothing like it comes back
I believe Trump ran for office in 2016 because he saw it as a way to stay out of jail. And now…4 yrs later….. he didnt get his way….we have caught on to his bs…..now he’s going to lose his precious immunity…hes freaking out because he has nowhere else to hide….I do hope he has to own up to his wrongdoings once WE drag his butt out of OUR White House. I believe WE, the American people, need to step up and make politicians know they work for US. Trump has cared nothing about the people of America…we are just pawns to him. It’s time we stand up….do our part…legally…and call Check Mate.
@Taurus Da Bull
In office less than a full term?
@Ronda he’s loosing everything in this country….. The only way he gets Trump tower moscow is if he can deliver a 2nd civil war in America…. There needs to be an emergency invoking of the 25th amendment
It’s Treasonous!!! And what’s crazy is that people with authority and power to do something about it is sitting quiet !!!!!! Trump and is Lackeys are taking advantage of y’all trying to play fair !
This needs to be on every billboard in America!
Here come the bots “NUH UHHHH HE CHEATED DURRRRRR I EAT MY OWN BOOGERS”

Soon republicans will remember what they were saying abut trump during 2016 primaries.
So true 💯💯 four years too late
Their hypocrisy is monumental
@Chloe Key So true 💯
And when they do, remember them for their actions and not their words.
@The Insane Shecklador
So true 💯💯
mental case in the white house, he is a disgrace.
@Fathom Darkness ?
@Jfoozpro that is a matter of perspective
@Jenn Crane sorry im just sick of everyone being so divided… Im glad Trump lost because all he did was divide us
@Jenn Crane he made The United states the Divided States
@S McDonald That hurts. I thought we were friends.

Flynn will be in a military tribunal soon ha

The GOP is splitting into 2 groups: those that believe in objective reality and those that support Trump.
@Ruth Harris Just stop lol? The election was stolen and your position is we got away with it fair and square? Did you see the video released today? Thousands of extra votes being re-dumped in the counter over and over. Civil wars get started over things like this and you’re acting like it’s Xbox verse PlayStation.
@Mac Daddy 50 They have all of those. Have you been following news outside CNN and MSNBC?
@Rick James5678 try looking at facts for a change……the govenor of Texas ordered only one mail box per county in Texas…..45 spun conspiracy and lies theories about mail in ballots ….some people stood in lines for 15 hours to vote….you have to show id to vote….in California Republicans placed fake gathering boxes in districts they lost…all facts google it…the very same voting software was used in 2016….there have been over 50 lawsuits brought by45 and they all have been thrown out…because there is no proof…..reality dude and all facts
@Rick James5678 I’m not even going to bother looking for this stupid video. I’m sure its poll workers counting votes and nothing more.
@Rick James5678 Why of course. But again when faced with perjury or judges in all these cases asking lawyers “do you believe massive fraud was committed even Rudy answer was N O.” Explain that Einstein? It was said best by a judge Donald chose “voters not lawyers decide elections, and ballots not briefs is what they vote on.” Game Changer !
Don’t agree with the facts — how crazy is that?
Conspiracy theories are their game, they are in another dimension.
That’s not crazy, it’s arrogance.
@Richard Bambenek he’s only got 4 weeks every case has been stopped because there conspiracies not facts with evidence so he won’t get re elected stop worshiping Trump like he’s god 🤦🏽♂️

@Brooke Baldvag OK Nazi
All those GOP that are supporting Trump and spreading misinformation are probably as corrupted as Trump.
@Ruth Harris what about boris Johnson in the uk? Is he going to jail for all the covid deaths there? Or what about Justin Trudeau of Canada? He going to jail too?
President Trump is not brought like McConnell. That’s the difference between the Real Republican party and corrupt Republican. After the covid19 relief Bill. There’s only $600 for the American people And the rest of the $900000trillion to overseas aid???🙄😱. Yep!! The Nancy Pelosi Democratics Bill, right there folks💩
And the American people voted Democrats. That’s the Thanks you people got for voting Joe Biden 🙄💩
@Mike Mason here’s the difference…..Other leaders did not send 40,000 pounds of ppe to China in January….NPR reported it in March…..second at least 5 times 45 stated the virus was a hoax….and almost all of Fox parroted it…..do not believe we blame 45 for the virus…..we blame his response to it ….
They are absolutely as corrupt!! They are complicit enablers who should be held responsible for their actions and inactions.
Shameful, irresponsible and lacking in character. Discrace to their oath.
Anyone who believes fiction and not facts, needs to have their head examined by a proctologist.
@J. Christie You’ll find out
Long line to see the doctor. Democrats may need a rain check
Bring your own rubber gloves.😯
@Joe Vogliardo keep following the serial liar
LOL!
Errr…. Nearly all of the GOP could be shut in a room alone, start a fight with themselves and STILL lose…
@Karen McClure You also like your own comments? That’s sad.
@Tom Cee Yes you are, VERY SAD!
@Karen McClure That’s all you’ve got? The same words over and over again. Trailer trash.
@Karen McClure Bye trash.
It’s what’s called a can of scorpions
Trump has progressed from narcissistic rage to narcissistic panic.
He already had the initial panic, he’s experiencing narcissistic rage like a wounded elephant, smashing and crashing into anyone which is now Biden. Lot’s of frustration that he can’t “crush” Biden. And destroying the government is the next best thing.
He really has..
bs

@Brooke Baldvag Your kind of vicious claptrap really should be hunted down and prosecuted.
Think of it like someone who doesn’t believe in gravity. If they fall out of a window, then they might change their mind.
@Bobby Baird we’ve already had all that for 4 years. Don’t forget Russian asset

@J.R Ward Actually they now found a case of dead people voting in Delaware. Bruce Bartman, a Republican, registered his dead mom and dead mother in law and used them to cast illegal votes for……yep, you guessed it….. Trump.
The key word being “might.”
@Brooke Baldvag
Propaganda is not good. In society , be a plus and not a minus .
The republicans must bow down before their Golden Toilet.
He was always talking about toilets. How weird.
@SK reported

Kelly Ann Connedherway introduced alternative facts concept long ago.
The fish rots from the head…
Alternative facts were introduced by Putin/Russia, not originated by Kelly Ann.
@Rita Hall 👄KellyAnne OPENLY ANNOUNCED the use of alternate facts in American politics with this administration…rather than calling trump the liar that he is.

The GOP should do away with the elephant, and make their new mascot the *Ouroboros;* the snake that eats itself…it’s much more fitting.
@3dfreak2000 😆

Good point. Maybe their mascot could be a hieronymus bosch painting https://images.app.goo.gl/LnpfFy76C9UnxvHP9
Or they should conduct themselves the way elephants do. Very respectable intelligent animal. A beauty amongst the animal world.
Or a human centipede that forms a closed circle. Basically a shittier ouroboros
Agent orange 45 should be banned from every running for office
They should have never let him run in the first place. If someone with Trump’s past can qualify to run in a presidential election, then the system is truly broken.
Foh wow

He lost, and now he is losing it, and taking people down along with him
Most of them are going willingly.
He lost it quite a while back, it just didn’t show as much while he was getting his way.
Trump always was looney he needs to be taken out in a straight jacket in a paddy wagon
Toh wow

The Mad King.
“The Lord of the Rings is a documentary…”. That’s funny. But not far from the truth.
Where’s Jaime Lannister when we need him
The Oringe Custard (AKA Lowered Of The Ringpieces) really believes it’s a factual documentary. Mind you; remember how he “big-upped” that psycho hose-beast demon-sperm “doctor”?
Trump would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes.

Can you imagine the horrendous mess Trump would have made if he had another 4 years?
