Joy Reid On Trump Saying He May Fire Dr. Fauci: ‘I Can’t Think Of A Worse Closing Argument’

  1. What do you call a President who conspires with a hostile foreign government to attack an American election? *_Ans: The same thing you call a person who votes for him._*

    1. @Evangelia Hernandez In what way am I a traitor? For posting a CBS news video? In what way does that make me a traitor? And since when is CBS conservative?

    2. @arizjones The people will decide the fate of this stinking dumpster of a Trump presidency. Trump is tied with G.W. Bush for the greatest disgrace in the history of American presidencies. If he’s voted out, he will face justice for his cons and scams! Arizona is turning blue by the way. Although you’re more aligned with Russia, wannabe Russian troll.

    3. @ClubXXXPoison How am I aligned with Russia? Did I go to Moscow and give a speech for money like Bill Clinton did? Did I say to Russian president Medvedev, “Tell Vladimir that after the election I’ll have more flexibility” like Barack Obama did? Did you claim they were aligned with Russia?

    4. Actually, inviting à foreign government to help corrupt an election is treasonous. However, we suspect Trump has shared national secrets with Russia and North Korea. Security-wise, you are very weak gainst your enemies and distrusted by your allies.

  2. Vote safely & avoid USPS – This election isn’t about supporting a political party or even a political candidate. It’s about saving our representative democracy: the right to vote, have that vote counted and a peaceful transition of power for starters. What is happening right now is an attempt to turn our country into an Authoritarian Autocracy run by dictator Trump where there is no representation or accountability to the people by the powerful. Trump is breaking any law or norm he wants to accumulate and hold on to as much power and wealth for himself as possible. He is incapable of considering or caring about anyone else beyond their utility and loyalty to him. Trump’s rise, governing and crimes are like those of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pinochet, Erdoğan, Putin, etc. Our choice this election is perfectly clear. We can either defend every person’s constitutional rights including the freedoms of speech, assembly, press, religion and petition, etc. or we can lose them to the tyranny of powerful elites. Dr. Ben Franklin after the Constitutional Convention in 1778 is believed to have been asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” We do not need a time machine to know what Dr. Franklin would want us to do in order to keep our democratic republic.

    1. I am sure Ben Franklin is saying even now-OK Ladies and Gentlemen you’ve got “A Republic, if you can keep it!”

    2. Nine fools wise I couldn’t have said it better myself except to add on to your irrefutable statement IT’S (WE THE PEOPLE) Not (ME THE PEOPLE)

  3. The only people that need to get fired is trump and his colleagues. DR.FAUCI is respected all around the world

    1. @NecropolisTC I posted 53 things Trump did wrong. That many makes a person dislike the person in office. and the people who turn a blind eye to incompetence and crime.

    2. @david clark everything you say I can disregard, just like everything I say you disregard. why is it surprising that we disagree, isn’t that the whole point of American politics? it forces us into a middle ground that we both agree on keeping our country from swaying too far to one side, I’m not trying to redpill you, like you’re trying to bluepill me, I’m just pointing out how foolish and hypocritical you sound

    3. @david clark according to you, Biden should get away with something they would bring back public executions for if Trump did it

    4. @david clark I mean, why else would we keep the rebel party alive, we didn’t destroy the csa we just absorbed them onto our politics, otherwise you’d be voting the wig party right now

  4. Get out and VOTE for BIDEN/HARRIS in GREAT NUMBERS
    so there is NO QUESTION as to who is the clear WINNER! Ignore the polls! JUST VOTE!

  5. I would hope that American people will support Dr. Fauci over the mindless ravings of a lunatic.

    1. I’ve waited for tomorrow for 4 LONG YEARS! , At 74yrs age, and after a lifetime of seeing our best and our brightest occupy OUR WHITE HOUSE, I cant for the life of me accept the fact that we’re even having this conversation!

    2. I support Dr. Fauci. Also, I don’t think Trump can directly fire Dr. Fauci. Trump could pressure Fauci’s bosses, but he can’t outright fire him.

    3. Amen !!!… Trump has told us and showed us who he is over and over again, so BELIEVE HIM !!!… End the CRAZY !!!… The American people are FREAKING EXHAUSTED !!!

    1. @bob Smith. Lynch mob mentally, your absolutely right with that discprition. The world watching with open mouth.

    1. @vote red Trump 2020 You think Dr. Fauci is a commie? Wow, trump really did win with the poorly educated.

      Fun fact: Ronald Reagan appointed Dr. Fauci.

    2. @Daniel Hawthorn Yes Ronald Reagan chosed him as the director of the National institute of Allergy and infectious diseases since 1984

    3. @Daniel Hawthorn And George HW Bush sang his praises publicly, as did every Prez of both parties. Until this lying traitor fraud that is.

  6. Cheering and chanting to get rid of one of the smartest doctors in the country? Trump can make anyone the scapegoat for his failures and his brainless supporters will accept it 100%.

    1. Most trump supporters got left back a year in school. They believe in things like chem-trails and the voodoo doctor. All they know is that trump was on TV . They don’t read and so they don’t know much about anything else. Sad really.

  7. “Trump Saying He May Fire Dr. Fauci” re-affirms, yet again, that #DJT is “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 accordingly tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” by overwhelmingly voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica

    1. @HeartDoc Andrew I am fine thank you. Even if they were able to fire the good doctor it wouldn’t matter because at least that doctor could walk away with a clear conscience knowing he did what he could for our country. I remain stunned any Republican could support him now after all the damage he has done again to me he is a disgrace to his party and the Office of the presidency of our United States. Everyone take care of yourselves amid this pandemic and God bless America

    2. @Annette Rath , taking your “fine” to mean “yes, you have a healthy appetite,” I, as a cardiologist, share with you, Annette, 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. @Annette Rath, your not being able to write that you’re “wonderfully hungry” over the past 60 minutes since being greeted here means you, Annette, are #StatCOVID19Test **positive** indicating that it’s possible you’re unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic) needing to call your doctor & to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines.

    1. @Joshuahj Farquharm. all those the Nazis set on fire.
      Ever wondered how Germany went Nazi?
      Here is a hint:
      People voted for a despot that claimed he alone could fix anything.
      They let themselves be Gaslit by people just as many seem to be Gaslit by the GOP.

      Good Luck to US Americans from Germany, may your Democracy survive.

    1. On the other hand, he thinks it is the Apprentice…so maybe no surprise when we the people say: Donald – YOU’RE FIRED!

    1. “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.” Dr. Fauci… so much for your “genius”
