Elise Jordan: I Am Shocked With ‘How Precipitously Of A Fall The GOP Has Taken’ | Deadline | MSNBC

112 comments

    1. Debbie Nina Boc Virtually every minute of the DNC was televised by MSNBC, but guess what??? The President is talking and the RNC is in full swing and MSNBC IS NOT SHOWING ANY OF IT ON TV!!!! There is the proof that their claim of being an “unbiased News outlet” IS A HUUUUUGGGGGE LIE!!!!!!

      Herschel Walker is now speaking, but MSNBC definitely DOESN’T want you to see a reputable BLACK MAN supporting the President!! He proclaimed a 37 YEAR friendship with Mr. Trump and Herschel Walker is telling everyone that Trump IS NOT RACIST!! What kind of names will the ‘tolerant’ ones have for Mr. Walker? I am sure we will soon see!! Now they are sharing about Trump allowing people the ‘right to try’ experimental drugs that are not yet approved yet may save a life. No other President has allowed this!!

      And the FACT that Trump is bringing drug production back home, production that was ‘sold out’ to China by previous Presidents. AND the school choice that he is pushing for that would give EVERY family the choice to send their child to ANY school they want. This is being vehemently opposed by the Democrats since the believe the failing public educational system should be your only choice!!

      Now they are sharing Georgia Dem. Vernon Jones speaking on Trump’s funding that ensured Black Colleges are funded and thriving and the Opportunity Zones the President has had established in minority communities.

      Guess what?? All these points are FACTS, FACTS that MSNBC will NEVER share with you!!! FACTS you should know!!

  1. Hey GOP, what’s your platform?
    GOP: Yeah, we got nothing. Just going to follow the Pied Piper of idiots and see where we end up. Everyone loves a circus.

    5. @Cee Gabe – focus on your problems instead of blaming someone else for them. Take responsibility for your own bad choices. Same comment 14 times is a little needy, don’t you think.

    1. B Johnson Virtually every minute of the DNC was televised by MSNBC, but guess what??? The President is talking and the RNC is in full swing and MSNBC IS NOT SHOWING ANY OF IT ON TV!!!! There is the proof that their claim of being an “unbiased News outlet” IS A HUUUUUGGGGGE LIE!!!!!!

    2. What else do you Trumpladites need to leave your cult? A recording of Trump’s mother admitting that he was born of a jackal?

    1. @CMUNIC8 Unfortunately Americans know very little about their country and are extremely ignorant about countries around the world. An education system gone very wrong in the US.

    2. @Cartoonishly Inept “Lest we forget”. We already have. How sad that history may very well repeat itself.

    3. @Cartoonishly Inept We see you for what you are, nothing but a racist in sheeps clothing. tRump followers wave nazi & confederate flags while supporting him and the Orange Faced Baffoon says they are “fine people”. GMAB!

    4. @Gnirol Namlerf Unfortunately for you, there are multiple videos of what happened with Rittenhouse, it was textbook self defense. He was retreating constantly (something he didn’t have to do according to law) while he was being attacked. The degenerates he shot were attacking him, they deserved it, and their parents should be ashamed. There are some weapon charges that are valid and I suspect Rittenhouse is in trouble no matter what; but he had a right to defend himself and he did, end of story.

      Unlike innocent eight year old Secoriea Turner who was gunned down in cold blood by multiple BLM protesters. And no one even knows her name.

      But here’s the difference between people like you and me. If someone shows up and just starts shooting or assaulting innocent people, I will unequivocally denounce that violence, regardless of politics. But for people like you, any violence from the left is justified.

    5. @Gnirol Namlerf Looks like you should have just waited a few hours, long enough for your Brownshirt BLM buddies to murder another innocent in Portland.
      I gave a bunch of details but my post keeps getting deleted for wrongthink.

    1. @Facts_ NoFiction what job done? Ignore climate change, spoil drinking water, fight a trade war he lost, let over 185000 die of Covid, and telling them to drink desinfectents, steal public land to give it to his buddy developers…. such a terrific job. You want a criminal to run your country into the ground to benefit for himself and some chosen cronies. You are nothing but a brainwashed lunatic living in a Qannon conspiracy theories bubble of insanity.

    2. @Facts_ NoFiction because nutjobs like you, trump and the Russians are to blame. Truth may hurt you, but facts are facts and you live in alternative fascist plutocratic reality, too stupid to see the light of day outside your cultist imaginary bubble.

    3. Ever wonder why every shocking Trump revelation over 4 years has never amounted to anything??? No wonder the Dems are so upset…

  2. You’re shocked? I’m shocked that it is falling apart so slowly. Immediately upon nominating Donald Trump for president party membership SHOULD have dropped by 98% and every single Republican in Congress should have switched parties or become independent. It’s disgusting how much support the man still has and how so many people still call themselves Republican even after the GOP has clearly become the cult of Trump.

    1. @Dan Sanger YES ! That troll pasting his nonsense onto every thread was beyond annoying, and not worth answering. The GOP cult is just broadcasting another rerun for a captive audience.

    2. Concerning the Congress people: Jumping ship at that point would have been the same thing as quitting your very well-paid job in protest. Few people are ready to pay that highly for having a conscience … and given the traditional republican platform, a good part of them might not have had much of a problem with Trump.

      And the party members … either it’s “Trump is just the front, there are adults in the room” (didn’t that turn out well), or the party is like your football team and you stay with them no matter what.

    3. @Julia Yenia They would not have all paid with their jobs. For one thing, they would have gotten lots done the last two years. Let’s say the House were 400 Dems and 35 Repubs and the Senate 85 Dems and 15 Repubs. Compromises would have been made and every veto would have been overridden because both Pelosi and Schumer and the new members of the caucus would have had good reason to do so. By now, we would know whether the Congress could actually run the government without the president. Not saying they would pull it off, but if they did, it would mean every president for the next 20-30 years would have that in his/her rearview mirror. “Holy Crap! The people’s representatives are willing to take me down if I exceed my authority.” Yes, this is all quite fanciful, but it was, after all, Republicans, not Sam Ervin, who convinced Nixon to quit because they told him they’d vote to convict, as would many of their colleagues. That is completely missing now. Sorry, Mitt, but I listened to Hugh Scott, Barry Goldwater and the others in 1974, and you aren’t a Hugh Scott or Barry Goldwater. Not close, not yet. And Susan Collins is just an embarrassment to herself.

  3. The really scary thing is that there is still a path for him to win re-election. Everyone has to go all out right until election day to make sure that does not happen or God help us all.

    1. @1979-still hanging in there. No, he’s not “working”. He’s out there entertaining and doing his “stand-up” routine. Nothing more!

    2. @1979-still hanging in there. CHUMP HAS NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS MISERABLE LIFE UNLESS ITS TO LIE ABOUT SOMETHING OR TEAR SOMETHING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

    1. James Long
      Yeah go ahead and educate yourself on the term fascist, has nothing to do with burning down buildings you dimwit you rube

    2. @Walter Lichtenberg glory….

      Portland has $30M or more in property damages.

      They asked for federal help. They are in anything but glory. And its all thanks to these riots that aren’t even about george floyd anymore, honestly. I’m classic liberal but i can’t defend that.

    3. @Daniela Morera I am definitely not condoning destroying property.
      Portland is a very liberal and progressive city. Since the 1990s there has been an increase of outside far right wing groups infiltrating protests. At first there were a few agitators, that I personally have witnessed. During that time, you’d never see police in riot gear. Later on there were more and more incidents, resulting in police showing up in riot gear and using tear gas, pepper spray and, later on rubber bullets. As a response to that, protesters started to also gear up, to protect them selves. At the same time, the “proud bois” and “bugaloo bois” became more active in causing unrest and riots. Yes, they have been mostly responsible for the rioting and unrest. In the first place, they have no business to even be there. They are from out of state. People like that would never feel at home in Portland, because they are far rightwing racists, xenophobes, and militant anti everything that Portland stands for.
      Oh, you will say that Portland is intolerant? Yes, intolerant of white nationalists, racists, neo Nazis, white supremacists. Why should someone come to Portland with Nazi signs, and confederate flags? And yet, they are allowed to have their own demonstrations, even though they are from places like Idaho.
      And all they want to do is cause trouble, and be provocateurs.
      I have participated in many peaceful protests in Portland. During that time, we chatted with police officers. They were actually appreciated, and helped us to keep our demonstrations safe, and orderly. So many times we expressed ourappreciation for the Portland Police department.

    4. @S I am a lifetime conservative and I and many are tired of all Trump’s lies. Only liars would want to hear more lies.

    1. I thought that there was universal agreement that KKK and Nazi were evil 😈. Trump calls them “good people”.

    1. Some Person that’s true and he’s there RN working on a campaign to take down Biden because FBI investigates Trumps dealings with Russia when he was a private citizen. That’s legal BTW it’s their frak’n job. Russia has been an enemy of America since the end of Cold War

    2. @S tune in to fuxsnooze conspiracy theory bobblehead hour, OAN, Rush Drugbaum, newsmax, fakebook. MSNBC does not broadcast lies, propaganda fed conspiracy theories; only truth and facts. Also worth watching: independents Mike Malloy, David Pakman, Cody Johnston, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, Jesse Dollemore, Trevor Noah, Rachel Maddow (MSNBC). Many more TRUTH matters.

    3. What is this, about the 200th nail that’s gonna end trump? “The walls are closing in”. Meantime Democrats are letting their Cities be torn apart, burned and looted for only God knows why.

    4. @S You are a troll, Trump lies every time his mouth moves. If America is serious about being great again, we need to see better education for our children, price wise we can’t compete with China, India, etc, so we have to win on technology on quality and that takes education. You say he is bringing pharmaceutical production back home but still undermines and interferes with FDA independence.

    5. S
      Trump isn’t racist?! Tell that to the Central Park 5. Or the black tenants who were kept out of his housing projects. Trump is just doing things to try to get re-elected.

  4. By having no platform, RNC has given in to Trump’s dictatorship by saying they’ll do whatever he says.

    1. @Mox Avenger Excellent covid response..which one? Is it “a democratic hoax” or “it will disappear like a miracle” or the “drink disinfectant” or the “180000 deaths”? And whats the current unemployment and how strong is our economy now? Big pharma prices haven’t changed but, I guess if improved border security means putting kids in cages and the allowing a pandemic to get out of control so no one will come here or let us into their country ? I’ll have to give you that one. Well done.

    2. @Gene Shimer 1st, these are all words, and words taken out of context and distorted by MSM at that. *COVID facts:* America tests more than any country by more than double the 2nd most. When Trump called for the China ban on January 31, every Democrat called him xenophobic (including Biden). He did it anyway. The US had 6 cases then. The President enacted the Defense Production Act 78 times for PPE equipment. When states called for ventilators our President got major American industries to retool *that week* to get them made. He sent so many to NY it could not even use them all and sent them to other states. He sent the Hospital ship to NY and Cuomo could have used it for the COVID positive Seniors that were returned to nursing homes at Cuomo’s order. Cuomo killed thousands. Now we are in the final phase of a vaccine that experts said we would not have for 2 years. Trump gets more done in a week than most politicians get done in their entire careers. It’s a highly communicable virus that needs to spread until there is heard immunity.

    3. @S You know, the price of asparagus went up around the country this week. Your comment about MSNBC is about as relevant in response to Ima Lab’s comment about the Republican non-platform as mine about the price of asparagus is. You were supposed to prove that Trump was not seeking to become an authoritarian leader. I will respond to your comments, I hope. The only facts you seem to have presented are that Messrs Walker and Jones have positive opinions of Pres. Trump. Why should I believe something is thriving just because Mr. Jones says it is? If that’s true, then you have to believe everything Biden, Pelosi and Abrams give their opinions on too. ( _Thriving_ is an opinion, not a fact.) Every parent has the choice to send their children to whatever school they want now, don’t they? All you need to send your kid to a private school is about $40,000 a year. Perhaps if all levels of government in total spent $40,000 per pupil of taxpayer money, instead of anywhere from only $7,000 to $11,000 (in 18 states) to $20,000 (in one state) or so, the quality of education in the public schools would be as high as in private ones and no one would need any sort of subsidy or voucher to send their kids to a private school. You gets what you pays for, as they say, and Americans want high quality government services on the cheap, unless they are providing the labor, in which case they expect generous salaries. If public schools were funded to the tune of $40,000 per year per student, perhaps the private schools, like the high-class prep school I went to in NYC, would become superfluous. If the same level of education were achieved in virtually every public school, why not? Expensive, yes. But all those rich people to whom $40,000 a year per kid is chicken feed, could contribute that amount voluntarily to the till. (I went to the prep school on a scholarship generously provided by the rich parents and alumni, but that wouldn’t be needed if the public schools were as good because the prep school itself would probably just become part of the public school system.) That wouldn’t be nearly enough money, but what exactly are we getting out of a $758,000,000,000 so-called defense budget paying for bases and other installations in well over 100 countries and multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers roaming the earth? One aircraft carrier costs 50% more than the whole annual school budget of Los Angeles. We have 43 of them. Our aircraft carriers could pay to educate three generations of Angelenos, from now to 2080. What will make our nation stronger, make our nation more indispensable to the rest of the world in the long run, being the smartest country in the world or the one most armed to the teeth? It’s clear what the president and his followers think.

  5. Republicans: We have no plan for governing and advancing America. We just oppose anything done by the Democrats.

    1. @Marvin Stutzman hey stupid,what is trump going to do for America in the next 4 years? What he’s gonna just wing it? Don’t suppose like he’s done with a few other failed business s!

    2. @UY Scuti ikr,? What kind of picture is it for him,a green goblin on steroids? Or a green troll on steroids?

    3. @Bucky Pinata that’s disgusting that you use that analogy, trumps the one with his knee on the throat of our constitution, and stomping on our laws, on a daily basis! And you know it!

  6. Just the fact people fly Nazi and Confederate flags in his name and he doesn’t denounce it says everything.

    1. @Pat Moore you think I’m trigered? Thats pretty wierd comming from someone who couldnt argue against my points so you decided to attack my spelling instead. Just a suggestion, that doesnt scream confidence, it screams desperation.

    2. @Chrissy Reed thats all well and good. The question is what you consider to be accountability and how you want to acheive it.

    1. Q: How many Trump supporters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
      A: None. Trump just LIES and tells the dummies it’s already screwed in and they’ll all stand in the dark yelling how great he is.

    2. @Brian Nave That is totally untrue. You already know racism and prejudice is everywhere. If you blame one party, you have to blame them all. I will tell you that if the Trumps were not racist, they would not have sent troops to BLM protests, and they would not have blamed BLM for riots and destruction of property. When you blame the Democratic party for BLM you are blaming people that do care, and many that went out marching with you. Trust goes both ways, at some point we all have to meet in the middle and work together. I am a registered Republican and I will be voting democrat, one of the reasons is the handling of BLM and the racist prejudice this President has used to blame others for his own missteps. He calls himself a republican, but he is not, he just took the ticket so they could get him the power.

    3. @S Magatism is beneath contempt. Why should MSNBC televise the stains words fox will be there grovelling and doing their best to cover up any mistakes.

  7. “Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil, greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.”
    ― Frank Zappa

    1. @Mox Avenger Four days your post has been up and not a single like – doesn’t sound like you made much of a case at all, does it?

    2. @S you can copy and paste bs.congratulation of the superbe control of your keyboard, troll.😴😴😴🤣🤣🤣

    3. People all over this planet from several Religions and cultures sing I am their Lion King Messiah the prophet Besser videos on my likes playlist .
      People all over this planet singing to and about me is PROPHESIED in ZEPHANIAH chapter 3 .

      I am Johnny judge close the curtain of I like it video .

    3. @Cee Gabe Thank you for repeatedly displaying your delusional system. Not that it helps. We the People have a lot of WORK to do. Leave it to god and you leave America to Putin.

    4. @Cee Gabe Remember, God helps those who help themselves.
      Put all our Faith in the Lord but for Goodness sake don’t expect God to do the work!
