‘It Is Time For You To Resign’: Schiff To Trump Admin ‘Republicans Of Good Conscience’ | MSNBC
It’s obvious the donald is out to destroy AMERICA’S DEMOCRACY.
trump* is almost there already. *impeached
@Vendicar Kahn Just sit in your cave and attack the Pakistan Army will you. Your opinion obviously counts somewhere with all the bats you call your brethren.
We can’t let that happen. VOTE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lUO9s9t4Vw
@bo herup nielsen
Vote Nov 5th.. Vote Biden
Here’s proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j800SVeiS5I&t=3s
And yet his moronic followers think he is on their side, and everything he does is for them. He does not care for people at all and is only out for himself.
@Champagne Supernova 13 My mother initially didn’t support him. Saw him for exactly what he was and said as much. The people she works for and with are part of his base, and she now supports him. I asked why, and she either cannot or will not give me an answer. Utter insanity. Every conversation we have is now basically scripted and last exactly 60 seconds. Another second equals an automatic argument and me losing my mind. Odd and scary times in which we live.
He’s been playing them for suckers.
@Karen Smith But they don’t see that. DON’T feel sorry for them.
@best best Well.. I guess thats better when Biden was speaking in a black community and said… “Black kids can be as smart as white kids” LMAO
@El Cruzer55 While Cuomo was packing hundreds of sick infected people to nursing homes that completely destroyed the community with so many deaths Not being prepared in any way shape or form from a medical emergency. They brought in a Medical cruise ship and it left early because there were no patients coming to them and were empty… so they left. In the mean time.. all those people were dieing. I dont remember seeing that posted ANYWHERE.. they were too busy counting deaths
Hitler told us everything he would do beforehand as well
No, Hitler did not tell us about the horrible things that followed, we did not know about the concentration camps, the loss of life of so many innocents people. I know, I was there, I was born in Berlin in 1930s
Richard III did too. In the Shakespearean play.
Manuel.
And Trump has almost all his pegs in place to pull it off.
I said “almost” because I believe the SC will shock him if he loses and tries to remain in office. I wouldn’t be surprised if they vote unanimously against him.
I’m wondering what he will do THEN. Let’s remember, he’s probably not all that concerned about losing the presidency. He’s concerned about going to prison. He is desperate to hold his office for that reason, and I think there is nothing he won’t do in order to stay in the White House and avoid prosecution.
Whatever it is, he will fail, and his attempt will result in the biggest prison sentence of all. He will die in prison or as a fugitive in some country that doesn’t honor extradition requests. It’s unfortunate that he isn’t 30 years younger, because even if that were true he would never outlive his numerous sentences.
Biden needs to appoint somebody as AG who is committed to justice for Donald Trump.
Anna B well you were a small child then, so
Enough said
He’s concerned about voter fraud so he insists that the voter count be stopped. Huh????
If more than 5 Americans don’t get that this is tyranny, it’s over. America is done.
60 million American voters do get that this is tyranny, and they are drooling with sadistic glee in the anticipation of it. Trump will be gone one day, but they will still be among us.
We need to outlaw trumpism the way Germany’s outlawed Nazis.
Edit: Dumb idea. That’ll only feed them.
@El Cruzer55 uhhh.. why you ask? Look up how many Democratics and affilaitions have been charged with sending out.. THOUSANDS of Ballots that were fraudulently filled out.. Look it up.. Theres quite a few!!!!!
America is in a Hot mess with Trump and his lawless cronies, may God help us…
We are on our own. God is only watching what we will do. We need to take matters into our own hands.
I don’t think God will show. We need to help us.
Please provide evidence of the hot mess. The only mess that we see going on politically is within our own democratically run cities, Louisville is the latest example. We are the ones creating a mess. It is our policies that are contributing to systemic racism in our most progressive cities. Let me name some of these cities. We have New York City. Ferguson, Baltimore, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Louisville, and we have Kenosha. We have riots involving looting and burning going on in the beautiful city of Portland. The same conditions that existed during the time of slavery in the antebellum South are now present in our minority enclaves in some of our major cities. Minority people lack education, jobs, adequate housing and they lack hope in our Democrat controlled cities. We like to blame Republicans but the city is that I mentioned, there is not a republican insight. This is our problem.
Its god and religion thats got you in this mess.
@T. R. Campbell Starting with, but not limited to, this running count of hot mess. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/reasons-why-donald-trump-is-unfit-to-be-president And yes, the cities are burning while TRUMP sits in office ignoring the reasons for why people are outraged. And all political leanings to the side, TRUMP is saying some very scary things like not accepting our election. We have the same process every year. Every year we have to wait for a vote count. This year obviously will be tougher. But not a single person would have had a problem with the mail in voting if Trump didn’t start crying because since January polling he has NEVER ONCE BEEN AHEAD. So how can he say he lost an election that hasn’t occurred yet by “fraud”, which is the same delays we see every election year. He is ripping our country apart. People need to Stop watching Fox news and look around. And listen to his frightening rallies where he paints American Democrats as some invading enemy boogie man and tells people there isnt a pandemic killing our moms and dads. Maybe we are talking about THAT HOT MESS! And here again: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/reasons-why-donald-trump-is-unfit-to-be-presidenthttps://www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/reasons-why-donald-trump-is-unfit-to-be-president
It astounds me that why would any reasonably minded American would vote for a Russian agent??!!
After Kavanaugh BS? After impeachment BS? After Russia Russia BS? After unfair racist accusations BS? After non-stop BS? Wake up.
Russia has become the boggeyman, a fantasy ingrained in the american psyche. Wake the F up!
Here is Ireland we can’t understand how he is still in office. Would never happen here. Republics need to show him the door of a jail cell.
@dr.
Scroll below to Vendicar Kahns post.
Read it entirely.
This is America’s problem.
These nuts are his flock.
His Sheep build shrines to him.
while he eats their brains.
Question would President Obama have gotten away with half, a quarter of what this resident of the White Has?????
This administration is so frightening. A lot of his followers on even thinking about their children that have to grow up in this country with somebody leading the country like Trump does. I’m really afraid😣
The american irish love Donald Trump.
@Miss D
President Obama couldn’t get away with using the WRONG MUSTARD.
America will never be great again until Trump is gone gone gone
Trump is crapping his pants. If he loses he will go to prison because of the crimes committed by him.
Tax returns please!!
@Bobby Kalifornia
If he’s laughing if it’s because he’s psychotic. Trumpy’s worst fears are about to be realized.
@odalayme
Trump’s already sold our country to Russia.
Too late.
You are just being silly.
EV Trump will win and win big!!!
Lol.. I guess we forgot about Hillary destroying hard drives and phones to investigate her 33000 Classified emails over public servers for the world to see…. Like… seriously… his Tax Return your worried about… wow..
Its all about control. Nazi like control. This is scary.
Yes, see the 14 characteristics of Fascism! Its posted online. It’s scary the number of things running in parallel with Nazi Germany!
Consider your votes wisely America. Fascist agenda is being pushed, don’t believe me look it up and verify for your self. The 14 characteristics of Fascism. That’s what got Hitler into control of Europe! You have to see things in totality our government is being overthrown
Senate Republicans destroyed America, hope God forgives them
James Carrington better bring more than bat FOOL
@Brian Ogan That’s 19 sentences of opinions. Give me examples and stop ranting
Jared Gandy what you just said is treason
All soldiers know that
You are a Russian troll
@Shaun Kellison Really schoolboy troll? So what have you said to counter the original “topic” and comment about republicans in the Senate? Waiting….lots of child’s play but no rebuttal. Just “emotion.” Fade away lightweight.
@Shaun Kellison I never said that you did say those things about Biden, did I? Reading comprehension issues? I was countering your claim about how the left supposedly acts childish and uses emotion. I guess that you could not figure that one out. Um…and the only one not being taken seriously is an irrelevant and insignificant troll boy such as yourself.
Trump is totally out of control. He needs stopping.
Vague. Why? What do you specifically dislike that proves he is “out of control”. Adults talk specifics. Kids get emotional. Be an adult and give us specifics
Yeah I just watched a 6:31 video talking about how bad he is but never mentioning what he did.
@n00bBagHead You just watched a 6-minute video. And what have you watched for the past 4 years?
@Anita Linke I’m so irritatingly perplexed by those type of MAGA defenders. The ones that seemingly bait with blatantly proven, asinine questions like _”Name one time Trump has ever lied.” , “When has Trump ever been racist?” , “What has he done that’s been bad? Unlike Obama who…”_ It’s impossible to know where/how to start with them who are either willfully ignorant or naive.
@Milton Bradley At one of Bidens fund raisers in the late 80’s… Some of the entertainers were of different color.. and as a joke called everyone one of them “Michael Jackson” when each of them stood up when he introduced them and they laughed.. Thats cool though..
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” ~ Voltaire
Agreed!
Creepy VP “Pointless” Pence, aka Nazi Sgt. Schultz: “I know nothing!”
wily wascal …what does Pence do? He is silent as the grave. Does he have a function?
Lololol!
America is turning into a Dictatorship in front of the world’s very eyes, this is Hitler and the Nazis all over again…WTF!!!
Just Me That’s a lie. He never called the Free Press fake news. He called specific news organizations that had been sued for putting out fake news and lost… He has never called Fox news fake news… He has never called the daily mail fake news… Because they haven’t said anything fake about him
Shaun Kellison Your post is laughable. You’re making my point. Trump calls news organizations that fact check his lies and misconduct fake. The result of which creates distrust in the media, a necessary check on power. Of course, he doesn’t call Fox News fake because with few exceptions they praise his words and actions because they appear to share and promote his political agenda.
Because no one media organization is above reproach, I choose to get my news from several different reputable and reliable news sources, some web-based, newspapers, as well as cable and local news.
45 can’t call it fake news or a accuse someone of lying because it doesn’t doesn’t fit his narrative or makes him look unfavorable. That’s a dangerous threat to the republic; especially, when his actions and words are viewable on tape and heard on mic.
Hunter Biden has been caught receiving 3.5 million from a russian millionaire he’s never met. Anyone curious why. Probably not
@Tanner 101 “But …Trump and my opinions of him!!” -Just Me
Next thing we know we will all be in concentration camps.
Why such a surprise
Cohen said 2 years ago that Trump would not leave peacefully
– lol…ANYONE could have told you that !! – – it’s a no brainer – trump is too arrogant and antisocial someone who can never admit his wrong and never takes good advice and thinks he knows everything……will not go peacefully –
@esj8341 She suggested he not concede until all the votes had been counted… big difference.
Jerome Lee Don’t you EVER get tired of telling lies? I know people enjoy what they do best but seriously dude…READ before you post
@C.A.T. Exactly, because as history had recorded, by the time all of the votes in FL were FINALLY counted in 2000, Gore had actually won but it was too late since the SCOTUS had already decided on Bush.
@Bobby Kalifornia Testifying before the House Oversight Committee on February 27, 2019, Michael Cohen said: “Given my experience of working with Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power”. Not two years ago, but the point still stands… someone who knew him well warned us.
“I don’t think science knows” -person who claimed there were airports in 1776
And said I, a woman, could have “gone to the polls” during World War I (we didn’t have the vote yet) — so many dopey statements!
Serious appeal to France and Germany: Come liberate us just as the US did back in WW2!!!!! This is not funny anymore.
@Joyce Wills No I wouldn”t. They would need ships to invade the US. China has one aircraft carrier, Russia has one, the US has 20. The US would have problems invading China, especially if China had support, but no combination of a few countries has much of a chance vs the US in the Pacific or Atlantic.
Trump would never get military support. His behavior is criminal, we all see it. The Military is us.
Stella Gemella With a lot of Help from your Friends!! 🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦👍🏻
beth robb at this point any help is welcome 🙏
Stay the fk out of our elections.
In the 20’s and 30’s german intellectuals laughed at Adolf Hitler, calling him a crazy fanatic. And look what happened.
US Military likely to evict Donald Trump from our White House. He’s squatting. #PresidentSquatter #Bunkerboy 🇺🇸
That’s exactly what would happen.
