Figliuzzi Calls GOP Ties To Extremist Groups ‘The Mainstreaming Of Madness’ | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. Putin is very happy. He’s sitting in Moscow saying, “This worked better than I thought.” Sadly, the GOP can’t or refuse to see that Putin planned this. If you want to destroy your enemy’s empire, the best way to do it is from within.

  1. I cannot understand why anyone believes Qanon, republicans rhetoric and actions or trump! Committing crimes is punishable and those who have broke laws need punishment! How can republicans embrace ANY of this? Idiots!!

    1. @T D I think it is a simple as being raised from a child to accept things on faith as well as being raised to believe that your community leader is acting in your best interest this is the outcome.

    2. you need half the republicans to take action, can anyone see that happening, take their funding away and yes you will see them act

    3. 35 years of radicalization by Fox News, Bob Grant, Rush Limbaugh, michael Savitch, and a host of other hate based personalities mainly.

    4. @Aj Meyers the extremists are like a dog with rabies, there is no logic or reason just madness. they will attack their own masters when the wind changes, lets hope for that day to come soon

  2. good decent people need to stand up and vote out these people. We can no longer rely on the integrity and morality of these people currently in office, federal state and local.

    1. The Dems oust one of their own – Al Franken – for alleged sexism, but the GOP sees nothing wrong with sedition, inciting murder and outright insanity in their own ranks. As Hamlet said, ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”

    2. Work to publicly shame all republican doners, pressure & boycott them all to choke off their $$$, work to see they wear their party over country seditous stain forever, & start work now to see they are NEVER elected to ANY public office ever again! Coup attempts & sedition must have consequences or they are only dress rehearsals!

    1. The US is over. Madness is mainstream. It is in our own families and there is no one who can be trusted.

  3. Accepting Trump as their candidate and allowing him to campaign with his Nuremberg hate rallies all the way to the top, it’s their monster, they own it all. We need background checks before someone can run.

    1. You don’t think a candidate’s background is already heavily scrutinized by the media and his/her’s opposition?

    2. @Patrick Bly Something republicans would happily do to everyone but them. They are Americas nazi party

  4. Well 40 year’s of work has now paid off for Putin .
    Check out when Ttumkk first meet Putin way back in 1987.

    1. Yes, I’d love to see federally funded elections. Think how much money we would SAVE! I think we ordinary citizens provide all that cash that flows into Washington now, through higher prices on everything we purchase. When you sign up for internet, the company has factored in the portion they will send to D.C. Not just the internet . . . a car, anything we buy.

    2. All Senate and House votes should be by secret ballot. That might eliminate the threat committee of the GOP.

    3. Until we do… Work to publicly shame all republican doners, pressure & boycott them all to choke off their $$$, work to see they wear their party over country seditous stain forever, & start work now to see they are NEVER elected to ANY public office ever again! Coup attempts & sedition must have consequences or they are only dress rehearsals!

  5. Osama bin laden should have recruited republicans to attack on 9/11… They would have given him a medal of freedom.

    1. @My Tale it funny. You claim to be an engineer. But you parrot the nartitive perfectly. So Im not buying your claim.

    2. @T D the proof is everywhere. Just look a little deeper.

      For starters, planes can’t make a building fall in a pancake. Demolition does. Look into tower 7. Start there……..

      Ultimately believe what you like. Im not here to convince you. Only plant seeds.

    3. @Bel- 6863 Like i said, jet fuel burns at a much higher temperature than normal, the steel reinforcements melt, and the tall building collapses under its own weight.
      I really hate repeating myself.

    4. @My Tale no need to repeat. Because you are wrong. Jet fuel was it the top, and cant burn 45 degree angles in steel beams(its imposdible) at the bottom. The building pancakes on its own footprint? Both towers. Tower 7 just fell for no reason? Announced it fell live on tv. Whilst the building was still standing, in the background? Let alone the millions the building owner made on insurance. Their narritive is false.

      Open your 3rd eye. You might be able to See better.

      It started the nvr ending wars in the middle east. See that they lied then. They lie now.

    5. @Bel- 6863 Have you ever heard about shear failure? Do you not know how heavy a building is? Did you not know concrete is weak in tension?
      Forget about 3rd eye, just open one of your eyes, and stop being so dense 😂😂😂

    1. Briggs and Gosar are NOT Senators! Learn the difference between Members of the House of Representatives and Senators.

    2. Work to publicly shame all republican doners, pressure & boycott them all to choke off their $$$, work to see they wear their party over country seditous stain forever, & start work now to see they are NEVER elected to ANY public office ever again! Coup attempts & sedition must have consequences or they are only dress rehearsals!

    3. @W Spouting tired old bs like this only makes your dear leader & his deluded cult look even weaker & more desperate 🙄
      Pathetic but Good Job ;o)

    4. @Just Me tired bs ha ok pal. What exactly is tired about Janet Yellen accepting nearly $ one million from one hedge fund let alone hundreds of thousands from other financial institutions. No corrupt influence there …how progressive of you

  6. We need Laws that prohibit politicians from being a part of any group other than complete loyalty to U.S. American Government. Otherwise you’re out, immediately if not sooner.

    1. “Complete loyalty” to the government? Isn’t it a politicians job to fix the things they don’t like about the government?

    2. @Reason Yes working within the boundaries of the government not outside with idiots that want to overthrow.

    3. No that’s not their job. Their job is to legislate within confines of the law.

      This kind of extremism will be stamped out.

  7. Looks like we need to impeach not just the former traitor but a few of the republicans who helped with Jan 6.

    1. @Randy Couch lolol 🙄
      Again, Spouting tired old bs like this only makes your dear leader & his deluded cult look even weaker & more desperate 🙄
      Pathetic but Good Job ;o)

    2. @Godfrey Daniel Oh, Godfrey. You have a problem with supporters of the FAKE president. There’s some ambiguity there. Stupid cult-following fascists think Biden is a fake President because the great god Trump said so. But many reasonable people think Trump was a fake President because he was incapable of doing the job. Please indicate who you think was fake.

    3. @soaringvulture – There’s only one FAKE president – and he’s been wearing the title for four years. You are literally the first person who didn’t know exactly who I was talking about…

    4. @Godfrey Daniel I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty good at parsing English. Remember, I agree with you about the identity of the fake president but there are many people who characterize President Biden that way. Be sure to clarify your statements.

  8. Trump brought about the death of shame. There is no shame anywhere. McCarthy, Hawley, Cruz, Graham… have no shame. There are no consequences for anything anymore. This will be the fall of America. The rule of law is collapsing.

    1. @woowooNeedsFaith you are getting me confused now, lol. Keep in mind it’s 2: 30 in the morning over here.

    1. The Republican Party turned against democracy with voter ID laws before the Russian money started infiltrating the Republican party in 2014
      Thank you ,John Roberts

    2. The good folks of conservative white Republican loved democracy when they were in charge. Now that majority minority status is imminent, they’ve no use for it.

  9. Someone needs to ask McCarthy if he believes the fire in California was started by a laser beam from space .

  10. I hope this guy is on the job to hold this Domestic Terrorists accountable that are hiding behind the Republican platform.. In my opinion
