John Brennan: With Dictators, Trump Is The ‘Like Putty In Their Hands’ | Katy Tur | MSNBC

    1. TRUMP IS A FASCIST

      FASCISM abandons basic democratic liberties. Fascism isn’t inherently Left Wing or Right Wing. It is outside of the normal political spectrum because Fascists don’t really believe in anything but NATIONALISM, RACSIM AND POWER. 

      Trump is a fascist. He works with business leaders in exchange for tax cuts. Trump attacks our most basic freedoms. He calls the press the “Enemy of the People” and files lawsuits against news outlets. He loves state-run media. 

      Trump attacks freedom of assembly and hates the right to protest. He orders violence against peaceful protesters going so far as to deploy the military against his own people.

      Trump attacks the independence of the Judiciary, attacking judges and courts. He packs the courts only with people who pass his “loyalty” test. 

      He holds people without due process, attacks Free and Fair Elections and suppresses the Vote. 

      Trump flaunts the Law by turning the Federal Government into an arm of his own personal political goals.

      He seeks internal cleansing in the nation where people he views as “less American” have no place. 

      Trump undermines Democracy and inches us toward authoritarianism — all merely for personal POWER.

      Trump keeps on hurting America. His slogan is really, “KEEP DONALD TRUMP FIRST.”

    2. Adolf Hitler was a left-wing socialist Nazi means National German Workers Party…… it’s funny how they like to turn that one around and point it towards conservatives.. can you say ignorance

    3. @Richard Barry can you scratch your head and rub your belly at the same time while repeating, “I am a Trumpanzee”?

    1. Don’t vote often, like trump told his sycophants to do. Just make sure you vote was received by the election office. Republicans are going to hold it up.

  1. He’s recieving top secret sensitive information everyday. Will Trump keep his mouth shut when he leaves office? He’s the biggest leaker.

    He blabbed to the Russians in the oval office giving them Israeli intelligence the day after he fired Comey. He told Woodward about top secret nuclear weapons systems. God only knows what has been said.

    1. The man has no admirable qualities whatsoever. That includes confidence and discretion, he can’t even keep from stepping on his own feet. A more unworthy man in office, I could not imagine.

    1. Here is the guy from the Obama administration going to sent up a contested election–https://www.revolver.news/2020/09/meet-norm-eisen-legal-hatchet-man-and-central-operative-in-the-color-revolution-against-president-trump/
      A “Color Revolution” in this context refers to a specific type of coordinated attack that the United States government has been known to deploy against foreign regimes, particularly in Eastern Europe deemed to be “authoritarian” and hostile to American interests. Rather than using a direct military intervention to effect regime change as in Iraq, Color Revolutions attack a foreign regime by contesting its electoral legitimacy, organizing mass protests and acts of civil disobedience, and leveraging media contacts to ensure favorable coverage to their agenda in the Western press. [Revolver]

    2. @Stephen Herndon Cool if I search for “Color revolution” Norm Eisen, I only find links with the exact same headline repeated on several conspiracy sites including Q anon. Doesn’t strike me as real news.

    3. @Stephen Herndon The guy from the Obama administration? You mean just a guy from the Obama administration who was also endorsed by republicans.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Eisen

      It’s just another attack of Trump on people that wronged him in his opinion. More reversal propaganda, he is the one that started to reverse everything on the democrats after he called main stream media false news. A very effective strategy, I never suspected there are so many people falling for simple tricks like that. Your news article ends in conspiracy sites, no real news links all fake news created by a fake president who calls the main stream media false news.

    4. @Andre van Kammen Look who is behind this “revolution” George Soros—https://www.revolver.news/2020/09/transition-integrity-project-is-this-soros-linked-group-plotting-a-color-revolution-against-president-trump/

    5. @Stephen Herndon That’s a lot of speculation in that article, it would cost me the whole day to get through that because no sources are mentioned. And even than so another party want to get rid of trump. I get that, because Covid is still raging in America and Trump is still rallying against it. There are around 750 people a day dying of Covid in America. That’s 2 times more than the whole of Europe which has some bad countries in it and Europe has 2 times the population of America. So there are 4 times more Americans dying of Covid than Europeans why is that? Because someone isn’t taking anything serious and just keeps campaigning and golfing instead of being a president for the people and coordinating efforts to keep it in check. America had the most politicized response of all countries I watched thanks to Trump everybody is fighting in America. You can check the numbers of the past 2.5 months here:

      https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-06-29..2020-09-15&country=USA~Europe&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc

    1. Many Americans don’t seem to care much about their or their family’s health. They continue to eat white sugar, drink alcohol, do pharma drugs. Worse still, they feed sugar to their kids, while watching the kids getting fatter and sicker.

    2. @AldousHuxley’s Ghost There are red people in blue states, and blue in red. You may have relatives in a blue state, ignoramus!

    3. SUPERAFRASIABI89 Why don’t the reporters say that to the blonde lying bimbo who we jokingly call ‘press secretary’.

  2. Donald Trump can go and dance “Kazatchok” as much as he wants in Russia, but he doesn’t deserve to be the President of the United States!
    Biden will be able to rise to the occasion.
    Biden / Harris 2020!

    1. @Tony Smith a true American reasons with the unreasonable through facts and history. Convincing people of your view can be difficult, especially now, but can be done if you use a friendly understanding of where their perspective is coming from. Good communicators are best at listening

    2. @Tony Smith I highly disagree with your approach towards others political beliefs. You accomplish nothing with insults and name calling, except create animosity towards yourself and your own political perspective. Its antiproductive.
      I’d like to ask you how many blue voters have you turned red by insulting them?
      Please remember the power of daily propaganda that can have over people. And T.D.S. goes both ways sometimes

    1. And Trump’s base never knew what a dotard was. The insult went right over their heads. Kim Jong Un sports an expensive education, and one of the goodies included in an expensive education is a much larger vocabulary (a large vocabulary is like driving a Maserati instead of a second hand Civic, The Base is content to putt along with 4 cylinders and Kim Jong Un and his perfect insult left them in the dust.) Maybe the Base thought ‘dotard’ was a Korean swearword..

    2. DUMP Trump probably would Pal around with Hussein and Hitler if they were alive, all Com man and Frauds, and hide themselves in a Bunker, maybe the results will be the same Dump💩Trump like his evil idols, Shame and Sad!👎

    3. Trump thinks King Jong likes he in some sort of sick way He’s walking on dangerous grounds King Jong has a young beautiful wife King of clorox sound foolish to the world A true ape

    4. You Saw when Kislyak and Lavrov were at the White House, I have Yet to see Trump so Fking Happy 😊
      Trump was Not just Smiling, Trump was BEAMING!!

    1. I’m certain there’s Much More that trump owes Putin- he’s messed w “The VERY WRONG People”= the Russian mob.

    2. It’s not just fluff. Call Realtors all over the U S. And ask show many condos and apartment building are complete with no residents. They are Putin’s fronted by tRUMP.

    1. @DoubleChampion2020 after reading some of these people comments and research the facts. I made up my mind on who to vote for

      Trump 2020

    2. Let’s be real, you know they didn’t just shake hands, one or both of them got on their knees in front of the other. It’s a tough job, but Pence wasn’t there to do the job.

    1. @Julie B National Socialist German Workers Party the “Nazis”. Hitler was a (Nazi )did you even know that? assuming you’re American? so you’re calling your fellow Americans horrible names that you don’t seem to know the meaning of?

  3. “John Brennan: With Dictators, Trump Is The ‘Like Putty In Their Hands’” which makes #DJT “utterly incompetent” as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own clinical psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May fellow American voters tell #ImPOTUS45 ‘You’re fired” on Nov 3rd by voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica

    1. @HeartDoc Andrew I’m fine, thank you. I appreciated your comment, as 43 others have. I’m trying to avoid clicking on Trump articles, as they just make me angry.

      If you’re hungry, do what I’m doing right now: eat some mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yum.

    2. @Gene Mars , taking your “fine” to mean “yes, you have a healthy appetite,” I, as a cardiologist, share with you, Gene, that it’s wonderful knowing through our hunger that we’re both not having a heart attack (aka myocardial infarction) at the moment in accordance with pure logic {{healthy=wonderful & appetite=hunger}} and advise that you try to write that you’re “wonderfully hungry” since we’ve established here that you are: So now how are you ?

    3. @Gene Mars , your writing that you’re “wonderfully hungry” when greeted here indicates that you’re #StatCOVID19Test **negative** which allows us to be 100% certain that you are **not** infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus, which among other things also damages the heart as has been seen in young college football athletes. The reason for the certainty is because this test has 100% sensitivity. What folks are witnessing here is the only **healthy** way to rapidly find out at any given moment, including while on-line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to convince them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica (see my comment at the very top).

    4. For those interested in learning more about this COVID-19 test with 100% sensitivity, watch the videos at –> #StatCOVID19Test
