Joe: Military Men And Women Do So Much For Us Every Day | Morning Joe | MSNBC
I really hope his comments, which I have no doubt are true, will turn the remaining 40% of the military to see the truth of this CIC and vote Biden/Harris!
Theyre not true. This is called pandering for votes. I’d like to hear Trump say it. Please play a recording of it, or its fake news. As always.
Any veteran who votes for Donald has forgotten why they served. He could care less about you, your service to country or your fallen comrade in arms. Don’t be a sucker! He disrespects you and your vote.
Well look at what he said ON 9/11. He was just concerned that his bldg was once again the tallest in lower manattan. it is not. You all know that trumpee is not a builder. he just puts deals together. There are no trump cranes or trucks here.His name has been taken down from bldgs now. even the skating rink had to reduce the size of his name. You can bare;y see it. that is what truly rich ppl can do-take the tax cut and get his name off
I honestly think this will be the final straw for his military supporters. There’s just no comparison between that pig and Joe Biden. Especially the comment about dismembered vets. JFC!
@Mainely sir I salute you thank you for your service 💕💕
I hope that you are correct. As a military service veteran myself, I am apauled. I will definitely be voting to get Trump out of the White House in November.
I hope so. He has shown nothing but contempt for our servicemen and women and regards them only as tools for his use.
I think you meant to say disabled,
Dismembered means cut up into pieces
😘💘
I hope this story costs trump hundreds of thousands of votes..
@Altair IV post that everywhere! Fox news …everywhere
@ben moyers It would seem that way but likely not. There’s blatant sexism and racism in the military. I’m near Ft. Hood in Texas. Kids in the army are being killed by other soldiers which is just being brought to national attention. There is blatant, systematic, historical prejudice in the military. White, male, heterosexuality dominates.
@D MAN Republican infiltrators sent in by Trump to put the blame on Democrats
💛💟
Well saying he could shoot people in the middle of the st in NY didn’t hurt him so …. I’m not real confident. But it should (hurt his chances). It would ANY other candidate.
CHUMP is a 5 times Draft Dodger!
💜👌🧡

Corporal BoneSpurs
Nothing that comes out about this sick,weak little man shocks me keep looking under the surface it’s much worse than anyone could even imagine
Trump sinks to a new low and most Americans are not surprised. The GOP is due to pay for foisting such an unfit citizen into high office.
It seems like members of the GOP have sold their souls to Trump .
Any veteran who votes for Donald has forgotten why they served. He could care less about you, your service to country or your fallen comrade in arms. Don’t be a sucker! He disrespects you and your vote.
Yeah but to be fair their souls weren’t really worth that much by then anyway.
Not all but definitely most. The GOPs credibility has forever been tarnished if not completely destroyed.
You should actually talk to a Trump supporter. You’ll be able to find them. Just walk up to anyone and ask. Not the ones flying Trump flags on their truck, the ones just focus on their families and jobs and keep their mouth shut. We think you are a moron! We think you are one of Left’s useful idiots. The reason you don’t talk to Trump supporters is that you are pushing off the inevitable cognitive dissonance that you are going to have to go through. You are also pushing off growing up and leaving childish things behind.
Sold their souls to the ANTICHRIST!!! ( His grandmother died on 6/6/1966 & Kushners’ building in NYC is #666- there’s probably a third number in his family- it usually comes in 3’s- pure evil!!!
I can’t stand of Trump’s insults on our loved ones in the military.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Boastful on the occasion of Memorial Day, President Donald Trump and his Veterans Affairs secretary are claiming full credit for health care improvements that were underway before they took office.
Trump said he passed a private-sector health care program, Veterans Choice, after failed attempts by past presidents for the last “45 years.” That’s not true. The Choice program, which allows veterans to see doctors outside the government-run VA system at taxpayer expense, was first passed in 2014 under President Barack Obama.
Trump’s VA secretary, Robert Wilkie, also is distorting the facts. Faulting previous “bad leadership” at VA, Wilkie suggested it was his own efforts that improved waiting times at VA medical centers and brought new offerings of same-day mental health service. The problem: The study cited by Wilkie on wait times covers the period from 2014 to 2017, before Wilkie took the helm as VA secretary. Same-day mental health services at VA were started during the Obama administration.

Why Trump Has Deported Fewer Immigrants Than Obama
Trump, who made immigration a key plank of his 2016 campaign, is struggling to crank up deportations
By Alicia A. Caldwell and
Louise Radnofsky
Aug. 3, 2019 5:30 am ET
WASHINGTON—After months of national debate over President Trump’s immigration policies, the record of his predecessor is playing a starring role in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The spotlight has fallen on President Barack Obama’s record on immigrant removals, which included the deportation of nearly three million foreigners during his eight years in the White House, after a debate this week in which the foes of former Vice President Joe Biden challenged him forcefully on the topic.
@Too Wun Take a #2.

@Too Wun Too Wun
JOE BIDEN IS RUNNING FOR ELECTION
DUMP IS RUNNING FROM PRISON

Well said – Love it !!
There’s more truth to that than you might think.
Love it!
Let Bye Dons be Bye Dons
Here Here!
Joe: “I’d appreciate it if you take those Trump pictures down when I’m talking”. Priceless.
@THOMAS SCAR You were the first here to accuse another veteran of stolen valor. But you have proven yourself to have none.
priceless
Thomas Scar followed me after these comments to an unrelated comment I posted on another video 2 weeks ago. He kept insisting that he was a veteran, posting supposed “facts” about his past service and current status as a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps. He claimed he was in uniform, on duty while posting all these comments and “the guys” were having a laugh at his comments here.
I pointed out that I didn’t think the Marine Corps would consider posting racist and hateful comments on youtube about other veterans as appropriate conduct for a commissioned officer in uniform and on duty. Less than ten minutes after I asked for his current unit so I could have a conversation with his commanding officer, first his comments and then his entire Youtube account disappeared.
He was either a lying troll, as suspected, who was deleted by Youtube at just the right moment, or he really is a coward, white supremacist Marine who freaked out about being discovered when he over-shared potentially identifying information.
In either case, he was a racist piece of crap. I would let it go, but my brother is a disabled Marine combat vet, and people like Thomas Scar are a disgrace who taint his service and that of all veterans and the flag he claims to defend. Thomas Scar bragged here that he “never will take orders from the sub species” of an African-American. If he really is an active member of the USMC, he should not be.
My private sector employer would fire me in a heartbeat for making comments like that while on the clock.
Maybe even off the clock.
I anticipated a quick retraction if he really was military, so I saved his comments before they disappeared and I watched closely. I’ll be preparing a complaint for the Marine Corps Inspector General and let them see if they have somebody who matches the name and service history he provided. Maybe they’ll find something and do something. I’m tired of this crap from people like him, and so is the Marine Corps.

🧡💌🔴💛💋
I’m sure every Military Man and Woman feel much better because Joe and Mika siadthey appreciate your service. STFU JOE!
I’m in rwanda, and have worked overseas for almost 20 years. I’ve seen the attitude change since trump on the part of many Americans in the US. Its awful.
@Spiritual Anarchist well, yeah…Trump is screwing up our historical alliances with all these demands on issues like trade and NATO, he’s appeasing Putin at every turn, while also just being a horrible human being that thinks he’s superior to all and everyone around the world can see it. It’s shifted within the United States itself. Trump is trying to destroy this country as we here, and everyone else throughout the world, have known it.
@Blake Brown Even though I doubt Russia will use military force against E.U countries in the near future, most Americans don’t know how it feels to live óne ‘tankdrive’ from the Russian border. When a presdident like Trump starts to buddy up with someone like Putin, people get nervous.
@Blake Brown I agree he is trying to destroy the country, but for his own gain. There are others, like McConnell, who are backing because of what they get in return. We are in BIG trouble.
@Spiritual Anarchist or from the border of Burundi and DRC…
@Jessica Massie Indeed,That’s even far more explosive, If one grows up with Canada ,Mexico (& two oceans) as the only neignbors, one could get.. ‘over confident.’?
The stable genius is the biggest traitor in modern times. GEE! V-O-T-E!
Anti-American and a Traitor is who Donald J Swamp is!!!!!
4 keys to preventing Trump from rigging our votes:
1. Check your voter registration status NOW.
County clerks in Republican districts across the country fraudulently purge voter rolls of legitimate Democrat voters prior to each election. In the 2014 mid-term election, I arrived at my local polling station only to discover I was no longer registered to vote, even though I had been a resident of my county and living at the same address for seven years. I was forced to cast a “provisional ballot,” which I suspect was not counted in the final vote tally. Since then, I have always verified my voter registration status well ahead of upcoming elections to ensure I have time to re-register in case of any Republican shenanigans.
2. Vote early.
In Republican states, there will no doubt be attempts to suppress voter turnout in Democratic districts by limiting the number of polling stations and reducing polling hours. This will likely be under the guise of protecting voters and polling workers from Covid-19 exposure.
Laws no doubt vary by state. In Texas, voters must vote at their designated polling location on Election Day. However, during the early voting period, voters can vote at any open polling location in their county of residence. This makes it more difficult for Republicans to target Democratic districts for poll closures and restricted hours. Find the early voting laws for your state, and vote as early as possible. This will point you in the right direction: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/early-voting-in-state-elections.aspx
3. Use no-excuse absentee voting in states where it is available.
“No excuse absentee voting” means you can request an absentee ballot from your state or county election official for any reason. Currently, 29 states offer no excuse absentee voting, including the most important swing states: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If your state is on this list, request an absentee ballot and mail it no later than October 20th to ensure it is received and counted: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-1-states-with-no-excuse-absentee-voting.aspx
Mail in ballots can be dropped off at your local election board in most cases, or authorized ballot boxes at various locations in your state. That will lighten the burden on the Post Office that Trump has kneecapped.
To New Yorkers: New York State has Republican districts. Due to COVID-19, the legislature recently passed several bills to make it easier to request an absentee ballot. The date was moved up so you can request one today. You can use COVID-19 as a reason. For more information see: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-signs-law-sweeping-election-reforms#_blank
4. Do NOT waste your vote.
Yes, my fellow Americans, I am also frustrated by the two-party system, and I understand the appeal of underdog third-party candidates. You must realize, however, that a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively a vote for Trump. Don’t believe me? Just look at the numbers. Two states, Florida and Wisconsin, tipped the Electoral College for Trump in 2016. Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes and Wisconsin by a mere 23,000 votes. The top two third-party candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, captured 271,000 combined votes in Florida and 137,000 combined votes in Wisconsin. According to exit polls, the overwhelming majority of these votes were from disenfranchised Liberal voters who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden is not my preferred candidate (“Bernie/Warren 2020” was my dream ticket). Nevertheless, *we must be united in taking back our country* and make America thrive again. Please share this message as often as possible from now to Election Day. Say “NO” to another four years of fascism.
Flush the turd on November the 3rd! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💩
@Z. Deutch YES! JUST DO IT FOLKS. NOW!
The biggesst traitor ever in modern history! V-O-T-E!
💟💘
I can not understand why people who sacrifice in the service of this nation, support this president….
@AuntieS412 nope but its funny how we can burn down citys over that and not anything else. It’s twisted af. I want the police and a better way to handle the people that need help. I will never believe something because CNN says it’s the only thing that matters…. Kind of like trying to impeach the president for 4 years instead of finding a valid candidate. Blm is racist
@Jon Gates there is no good reason to burn a city down. police need help. imagine being able to take out your bad day on the very next person you see (look at the eyes of the cops that are doing this-glee) then you come to work one day and do the exact same thing and now you are in trouble??? the system is flawed that allows this to happen-that is the cop union..no one should have a 007 clause in their contract unless you have the last name of bond. i guarantee if cops were held responsible for outrageous behavior it wouldn’t keep happening. no one has to believe what cnn or fox have to say check it out yourself. answer me this if you see a trump clip and he says one thing and you see another clip a day later and he says the opposite-how do you explain it to yourself? don’t answer, just think about it
@AuntieS412 theses clips you speak of are from CNN It reminds me of rap in the early 2000’s called chopped and screwed. Now fox dose it too. Some people have a death wish overdosing on fentanyl is a death wish pulling a knife on police officers with an open warrant for your arrest is a death wish. But that doesn’t come close to the babies being legally killed or the war zones on the streets in Chicago or the drugs and homelessness in California. But the CNN talk and its bash trump 24/7…. Tell me again why ABC didn’t break the Jeffrey Epstein story 3 years ago??? Is it true that Bill Clinton gave a speech on White House ethics from the pedo himself…. bet you have Netflix just for the movie “Cuties”
Because they have been brainwashed for so long. Poorly educated conservatives who are falling for blind nationalism. Betraying our country and flag while they wrap themselves up in it. They are Traitors too ignorant to see it. False Patriots and false Christians as well. Being too blind to see you’re a traitor, still makes you a traitor.
@Relative Insanity Sad. Probably thinks hes a patriot too. Brainwashed.
*DONALD J TRUMP IS A GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT*
@Jon Gates – That’s true. I stopped almost all cable news. I get the real news from Brett Baier every day at 4:00. It literally takes 20 minutes to get the news of the day. CBS, ABC, NBC are all trash too.
@Ben Younger –
“During, or just before the Civil war my mothers, people were also Loyalists and headed north to, yes New Brunswick. ”
So, they were Republicans like I’ve been all my life. Now, you’re going to try and say that Republicans changed. They did not.
@Ron Swanson Republcans have changed, “bigly”. If you knew you own countries history you wouldn’t make such a rash statement. Oh, right you’re just acting for attention like a lot of my students used to do. They never got far in life either. Bye.
@Ron Swanson Republicans sent in by Trump to put the blame on Democrats. Get your head out of the orange buffoons backside .. Get rid of this vain arrogant narcissistic mysogynistic egotistical lying thieving racist self serving orange buffoon. Dump the Trump
For the AG to say he doesn’t know that voting twice is illegal is the biggest most disgraceful, dishonest, boldfaced lie, worthy of impeachment I’ve ever heard!
He’s a cultist of Trumpism.

Baldfaced.
And no, it’s obvious he’s ignorant. He was originally a democrat, of course.
Joe, I’m crying. This is just so reprehensible to a vet like me who comes from a family of veterans.
I had tears too man. My late grandfather almost dead in Korea and my twin brother almost died in Afghanistan and I served myself. The GOP are reprehensible for cosigning this least than a man who I am disgusted and noxious that Donald Trump is our president from day one. America this election is not about ideology anymore is bigger than that. Vote for Biden to save our nation from this “man”.
David he doesn’t even respect himsel! We just have to storm the polls on Nov 3rd as if our lives and democracy depends on it ! Biden) Harris ! Thank you for serving our country and your family too! God bless!
David Harmon Thank you so much for your service!!!
David don’t cry I had to cry when I was on top of my dad’s grave when Donald Trump insulted John McCain. As a military brat what has to be done. Kick that dirt up from your boots and stand up for the Constitution that’s your father and you fight for. For when I vote it will be not only for my father and his grave but for all the veterans and for our country and our constitution. So stand up proud or do as I do put my head up. For the military and its veterans stand up and be proud for you have fought for that Constitution and against dictators and for our freedom. I give a salute to all of you for you all deserve respect. 💝
@Jacqueline R Amen
To hear this contempt for our military from a draft dodging coward is nauseating.
Joe: “I would appreciate it if you take the picture of donald trump down while I am saying this…”, I applaud you Sir for making this request!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Philip Levine Why don’t you start it by giving us the first prayer!😉
Much respect for him saying that! Take that piece of trash down.
Donald Trump with what he has said is not Presidential and total Disrespect and warrants a vote out!!!!
@DELTON ASHBERT RENO MARIN Hear hear!
@Ron Wuerch you fake news!
My American dream is to see the whole administration go to JAIL.
If people in the justice department are smart they would start a file on bill Barr and every one in the administration right now for the next administration to give to the next attorney general. A real honest attorney general. To put bill Barr and every administration officials who committed crimes in prison.
trump can go to levenworth
@Hayden Williams
ABL agrees with me.
Is he a white supremacist?

Conservatives want to protect your homes, Democrats want to burn down your home.
Trump 2020… Yeah!
💜❣💋💋💟
You understand now why Trump isn’t concerned about the Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers? Its’ because he doesn’t care
No he is in hock to the Russian oligarchs for millions of dollars. Who do you think covered the loans he got when no American banks would lend money to him. The Russian oligarchs who laundered money through his property’s. That is why he won’t release his tax returns.
I was wrong when comparing the Trump Cult to Jim Jones and The Peoples Temple. Trump and his Cult are far worse.
