Jeremy Bash: Trump ‘Willing To Risk Violence And Even Civil War To Stay In Power’ | Deadline | MSNBC

  1. Michael Cohen predicted 19 months ago Trump wouldn’t peacefully leave office if he loses.

    We now KNOW Cohen was right! 😳

    1. If we have to go in and take him OUT that will be fine with me
      Save us spending a fortune on his imprisonment!

    2. @Mark Du Bois careful the term take him out might get you in a world of trouble ….i ALREADY screen shot this and sent it to the proper peeps just fyi had to do the same bout a week ago you guys really are not that 🌞 bright

    3. @kansaspatriot digital soldier Why?
      Take him out of the White House
      Your imagination is getting away from you!

  2. Never forget, Trump has the mind of a criminal. He actually said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. Trump identifies with criminals, because he happens to be one himself. Trump is essentially a cornered criminal with his back against the wall.

    1. And it’s certainly no accident that he’s surrounded himself with criminal henchmen like Bannon, Stone, Flynn, Manafort, and all the rest.

    2. He has the mind of a dictator…He told folks that he would like to make changes to the constitution so he can run for a 3rd term

  3. Wouldn’t Trumps annual financial filings have to have shown all his loans. I thought all high ranking officials have to file a statement of assets

  4. yes trump wants a civil war .he tried to get his people to show up at the white house to confront the blm protesters but his people did not show up .

    1. If Trump wants the US to behave like a banana republic and have a civil war or insurgency, he and his largely fellow travelers would be well to study what usually happens to the losers in such conflicts. When you intentionally peal back the elements of a civil society to unleash the beasts normally held in check, you are committing to a one way trip, for better or worse.

  5. Discuss if he wins and stays in will he become super vindictive, stay petty and believe he received a mandate to arrest democrats who voted for Biden.

    1. Did you hear Trump in the debate saying they found ballots in a creek
      I heard that 50,000 ballots were found up Trump’s A$$ in 2016-Can anyone verify this?

    2. Trump got a 73 million refund from the IRS that they are now in court trying to get back with interest-Trump is in for 100 million
      He should start a GO FUND ME now. LOL

    1. Because he did nothing wrong lol. What was he actually proven guilty of? I’m neither Republican nor Democrat but both sides are complete fools. But the Democrats are such mindless sponges that believe anything.

    2. @Daniel Park Go back to sleep Trump zombie. Something will awake you November 5. Your vote is ____ &. _____.

    3. I believe there could be civil war before the 2020 Election especially if Russia does come into the USA through the back door by the King & his Court – there will first be a complete & total power blackout of the USA including all communication (internet, radio, TV, hacking of many online bank accounts, etc.) through connections with this corrupt Republican Party & take it from there with COVID-19 running wild just what will happen to the USA after that before the 2020 Election – setup at the right time. This is the best time for all this to happen & not after the King gets reelected by say a fixed illegal Post Office sorting mail machine, Supreme Court, etc. because there is more of a chance the King & the Family will be bumped off by others like VP Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, etc. from their own corrupt Republican party doing the deed for extreme power & wealth also like the King they worship (they should have jumped ship already from this corrupt Republican Party). Why should the King get all the glory again with even more money & wealth? I believe he needs Russia more than ever right now. Here’s what I’m thinking – Most of the extreme Debt by the King & his family were transferred to Russia probably through the Deutsche Bank (from maybe friends of the AG, etc. like Mueller was & also “where the bank’s supervisory board led by chairman Paul Achleitner has retained Robert Kimmitt, according to people familiar with the matter. Kimmitt, 72, is a lawyer and former U.S. ambassador to Germany whose friendship with Barr dates to the 1980s. Kimmitt’s precise role isn’t clear even to many executives within the bank”) to pay for wealthy housing in New York, Florida, etc. (Russia owed a huge amount of money to the USA & the State of New York, etc. but was never paid to the IRS, etc. I believe). It will be the women that the King fooled around with which will destroy him eternally together with all those religious fanatics & their so called “Christian” values through his Taxes. That huge Moscow Trump Tower could also be used for ICBM rockets with rocket launching pads & rocket launchers – ICBM rockets on their way to Chicago & Detroit, etc. The Mueller report never did any counterintelligence report or even financial report on Russia & the King even with other Family members, all were off limits ordered by the King which I believe. All the convictions they did get were merely pawns. The AG & the King had a field day with that report to the American public. I believe the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Charles Rettig (appointment by the King) will be in deep deep trouble with also the entire IRS once all the Tax records come out (this was merely the first report by NYT, in the future also maybe big connections through contractors used by the King for his buildings). Then it will be time to get all his Tax records that go way back to the wealthy Father from New York. Just even more reasons I believe Russia (big financial friend of the King, etc.) will come in & stop that 2020 Election in November & promote the King from President to Dictator (a dream come true for most people) so he will never leave office for a long time with huge power & wealth which he needs fast now because of huge massive Debt but payed now through big private Tax Payer Money coming from the 30 billionaires & other rich Republicans who Did support him. You can be quite sure they all will be stopped from leaving the USA. And If Russia does not come to the rescue – the King blew it big time.

  6. IQ45 is using the WH as a shelter for him, and his henchmens to escape prosecution for all their crimes.

  7. He doesn’t want to yield power under any circumstances because he knows he faces a lengthy investigation he can’t quash, trial he can’t control, and inevitably jail and prison time.

  8. ’m Canadian watching closely what all is going on with our neighbours to the south. One trend I have to say I am sick to death of seeing is how apathetic the US has become to the atrocious behaviour from trump. It’s like … oh well that’s just trump being trump, what can ya do. How very like trump or that crazy trump what will he say next. He is saying terrible horrible things and there seems to be no accountability.
    Aren’t you all embarrassed by how you are being represented as a people to the rest of the world by this buffoon of a leader? Please stop dismissing his bad behaviour as though he’s behaving like a problematic child, he’s the president of your country for god sake.
    Vote him out!

    1. There is something to what you say. We of the lower 48 (plus the 2 detached ones) have glorified the _office_ of The President above the laws of the nation.

      The consequence has been the the office has amassed immense power, available for abuse.

      What is worse, we have a significant portion of our population who place their own interests so far above the welfare of their fellow citizens that it might as well not exist for them.

      Trump is a bad person, but he’s the symptom of a political malaise, not the cause of it.

  9. He knows what he’s doing because if he looses the election he’ll be going to the lowest, so that is why his actions and behaviour looking fearful. United we stand divided we fall.

    1. @Mark Du Bois We conservatives love the new Republican party. It’s the only way to fight off the communist Democrats.

    2. @cafemartini Hate to break this to you old man
      Conservatism is DYING and will not be missed.
      Your reign of BIGOTRY is about to end!
      Communism exists only in that empty VOID of yours

    3. @terry dever makes one wonder if trump was a Dem mole sent in to destroy it from the inside huh ☝️

  10. Who is to blame if the United States of America goes down as a Dictatorial Government if Donnie Trump subverts the Election. It will be the Republican enablers in the Senate, Bill Barr in the Justice Department and likewise the American Electorate who voted for Trump.

    1. Still, 35% is just too much. I can understand that rate. If it was like 5, 10….but 35…it’s just too much for the leader country on earth. For the country that prides itself on democracy, surely doesn’t look like it’s a good example. I’m terrified.

  11. Republicans are to blame. They don’t want to wear a mask because it infringes on their freedom but they are fine with a dictator. He should be stopped.

    1. @Sam McCormack I DON’T LIKE WEARING MASK MYSELF… WE HAVE AREAS WHERE STORES MAKE YOU OR YOU ARE TOLD TO LEAVE STORES…

  12. In regards to our presidential election, I never thought I would hear someone say “we are entering a dangerous phase”

    1. I believe there could be civil war before the 2020 Election especially if Russia does come into the USA through the back door by the King & his Court – there will first be a complete & total power blackout of the USA including all communication (internet, radio, TV, hacking of many online bank accounts, etc.) through connections with this corrupt Republican Party & take it from there with COVID-19 running wild just what will happen to the USA after that before the 2020 Election – setup at the right time.

    2. Forget the hype just vote
      We will crush the A$$ and lets see the Supreme Court overrule the will of the people.
      Those Conservatives will be charged with sedition!

  13. If Putin really is behind trump, he couldn’t have done a better job of ruining America. Divide and conquer.

    2. billycarson…or nuclear war. Trump could see himself being a hero for winning a civil war or a full scale nuclear war with China. If he ramps up his rhetoric against China along a similar line to him realising he won’t be president after the election…

    1. i am all for it
      under the cover of war
      we can snuff all the trumpanzies we want
      worse case, get snuffed… but i bet i can get at least a 1:1 ratio 😀 good luck all

    2. This is why we must oust *every* Republican Senator except Sen. Romney, who alone voted his conscience and remained faithful to his oath of office!

    3. @SpectatorAlius Romney is no better
      all for the new SCOTUS
      still serving HIS pourpose rather than law, precident… i doubt he has any real conceince
