Ex-FBI Lawyer Speaks Out After Trump Attack That 'Broke The Camel’s Back' | The Last Word | MSNBC

    1. I am 85 years old and can’t believe what I have seen and heard over the past 2 1/2 years. There are no words to describe this moment in our history. He has disgraced the Presidency. I have lived through both Democrat and Republican leadership and there is nothing that remotely approaches this. It is a sad period for America. I have relatives in England and Europe and they can’t believe that so many Americans support this man.

    2. UnYielding people all over the world know Trump has his worshippers brainwashed. Imbeciles like you “unyielding”.

    1. @Virgie T i have facts that rethugs fight to keep pedophilia legal and you still too stupid to live in reality

  1. t’rump mocking Lisa Page for being unfaithful in her marriage?🤔
    Wow. His utter lack of self-awareness is actually impressive. 😅

    1. @EC Marks so do you thinks it’s ok to have an affair while working for the FBI with another employee. then she complains? that’s being a hypocrite, it’s her own fault.

    2. ​@Personal Vlog Yes there are many articles about it. He has been married three times and divorced twice. Most recently married to Ivanka.

  2. He is a gross nasty old man. The kid standing behind him with his mother ? at the rally laughing were gross too. Lisa has every right to her opinion no matter her job.

    1. @Power corrupts again…I think these parents know what they are getting into. Having their kids hear trump only legitimizes what the parents have been teaching at home. I don’t hear of the parents leaving trump rallies in droves when talk gets violent, bigoted, misogynistic, rude, crude, or discusting. Sad.

    2. @C M Go get em ! I guess in trump land its ok to degrade anyone to the nastiest level if they dislike trump, but if anyone says they dislike trump then its treason.

  3. In 2016, every reasonable human being on the planet knew Trump would make a horrible president. Nothing in the past three years has proven that to be an incorrect assessment.

    1. @Marc Jacobs A reasonable person looks at Trump and recognizes his ignorance, lack of intelligence, lies , and hate mongering. The rest we learn with further observation.

    2. I knew that things would be bad, but never thought that they could be this bad. Sad, sad period in our history.

    3. @Jean Athaide, I know, these people texting about conspiracies against chosen leaders. Not to mention the whole pedophilia thing going on in the higher realms of society and politics. The lying and abuse by people in powerful positions (especially the ones ‘governing’ others) for the last 4,000 years. And then, of course, what you are mentioning: The slowly but surely taking over of the Orwellian script all over the place and pushing ‘us’ into an ,almost ‘never going to get out of’, duality-thinking, and justifying all the violence and competitive elements in society as an indispensable evil already for era’s. The human race: A failing experiment indeed.

    4. @ruth depew, thanks for the response. Doesn’t sound really reasonable to me to be honest ruth. Now I can say that I recognize YOUR ignorance, lack of intelligence and hate mongering (I leave lies out, because I don’t feel you’re lying) because of what you write in your first sentence. I think you’re not reasonable. You think I’m not reasonable. But you’re right, right? I’ve been an observer for a couple of decades now and learned quite a bit through that, so I totally agree with your second sentence. Take care sister.

    5. Marc Jacobs you are pretending to be respectful of the opinions of others, but you really aren’t, are you? What you appear to be is smug. You take care, as you put it.😄

    1. @tinfoilhatter “no argument, only bad feelings”? Really? How about the literal 30 investigations that he’s tied to right now? Or all the people that were associated with him that have plead guilty to felonies and/or are currently in prison? Or the fact that the Mueller report laid out 9 instances of the president obstructing justice? Or that he’s in the process of being impeached for pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political opponent RIGHT NOW? How about the fact that he’s lied on record over 10,000 times? His juvenile name-calling? The fact that he can’t convey a single coherent thought or idea? Spreading lies and encouraging hate and violence? The list of arguments against him goes on and on. I think the real question is, why do you support him? What’s the argument there? Is a good economy (which was already on the rise when trump took office and is now starting to steadily decline) enough to offset all of that in your mind?

    2. @Darren Madrid dang, it’ll be alright, why take it so personally, right? trump doesn’t look worried, therefore, we shouldn’t fret, that’s my guess~
      it’s not that i support him, but i just ain’t feelin’ the hate, i’m sure if any of these things you all keep accusing him of, are ever true, maybe then, i’ll start feelin’ that hate! thanks for the heads-up!

    3. @tinfoilhatter well, you said that trump haters have no argument against him and that they’re just basing their disdain on personal feelings alone lol. Just pointing out that there are many, many valid reasons one might have. Thanks for being civil! Just do a little research and see for yourself. Not everything negative about trump is “fake news”, as he would have you believe. And hey, if you can give me some valid reasons to support him, I’d love to hear them!

    4. @tinfoilhatter No need to hate. Hating does you no good. Just be rational and look at the facts, and decide fairly. But look at the facts, those inconvenient facts you refuse to see. There can only be one conclusion. With kindness, not hate, do your fellow Americans a favor and stop supporting this sorry excuse of a man.

  4. “The vulgarian-in-chief” That is such an incredibly accurate moniker for Trump, right along with fuhrer-in-chief and Prisoner45.

    1. @cattycorner He is a complete nightmare as a president. He abuses power, he is ignorant, he doesn’t care about policy, he drives out good people, he is disrespectful of anyone with any brains, is out to destroy the gov’t by putting in people like Betsy DeVoss, and other unqualified people, and he is a total embarassment. No to mention he is not working for us, but in fact, for the Russians. And he should correctly be impeached.

    1. @Dale Cox Could be love.
      He certainly admires Kim’s control over his people.
      Donnie has made numerous admiring comments in regards to the lifetime appointments of several dictators.
      I don’t believe he’s peacefully going to leave the WhiteHouse no matter what the 2020 election results are.

    1. It is sad to see his followers laugh and denigrate other human beings—they are really great Christians!

    1. @Jim Fortune, thanks for the response. A lot of us won’t I guess. But you’re probably right. The question that pops up now in me is: What is the/mine/your/our definition of love anyway? Maybe someone’s love lies on a ‘non-human’ level. I know I always thought I was incapable of loving another person, and I still am in a way I feel, but many already told me through the years that my caring and loving lies in a more esoteric, more ‘unearthly’ (if you will) level, and that kind of make sense to me. We don’t know what is going on in someone really I guess. Anyway. Take care brother, in any which way.

    2. Don’t forget the Big Macs!  I think Trump had to got on that little hospital visit, recently, because he had a mini-stroke AKA a TIA.

    3. C’mon Drumpf doesn’t love himself. Yeah he worships the altar he created for his own elevation and desperately needs others to love him but he loathes his own being to his very core.

    1. @Dale Cox no reason to post falsehoods such as “Putin is on the board of Deutsche Bank”,let the other half dabble in that. Yes, DB has a long relationship ship with oligarchs from Russia and neighbouring countries, and No, Putin has never been on the board. Don’t spread false propaganda, it doesn’t help our case

    2. Scared to death of Melania, You THINK!!!. Renegade 101st. For she knows what it,s like to be in bed with this child man .

  5. Donnie’s next move…hump the Russian flag as he did the stars and stripes.
    His minions will cheer with delight.

    1. @Raffi Basmajian WRONG! 45Fake did NOT supply anything! Congress did! 45Fake withHeld assistance. CONGRESS was responsible for releasing funds during both Obama and 45Fake years. Keep UP! Oh – btw there goes your fake ‘argument’.

    2. @Jan Hall In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea, Ukraine president, Poroshenko, visited Washington and pleaded for military weapons. He addressed a joint session of Congress — with Biden sitting directly behind him — Poroshenko said he appreciated nonlethal assistance, but declared “one cannot win a war with blankets.” The Obama administration was unmoved, and President Obama stuck to his refusal to provide weapons, according to the Wall Street Journal [1]. Ignorance is bliss.

  6. I never realized just how gross that bit from his rally was. So sad he is our Commander-In-Chief. He brings shame to the office of the Presidency.

    1. To Bad your Dad Grabbed your Mother by the Kitty Kitty, Or your mom didn;t support planned parenthood… Ouch.. Safespace? Treason is okay with you though.

    2. Ken, you’re going to be a minority in your own country within a decade or two. How does that feel? Thank Soros and the big bad progressives. Remember to hug a person of color, they’re going to be your bosses soon 😘 you stupid, knucklehead troll

    3. @Katrina you know for who it’s really horrible…Lisa’s husband, her family and Peter’s wife, his family. But whose fault is that? Trump made it exponentially worse and he is a horrible human being but it started with them 2 dogging out their spouses and humiliating their families. If I was her husband, I would want to go to the Maury Povich Show and get DNA tests for the 2 kids.
