Pelosi: ‘Republicans Enabling The Current Occupant Of The White House’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Trump doesn’t want 4 more years of the presidency, he wants 4 more years of immunity. 🙂
@Story Gordon I’ve been thinking about that too!🤐
now THAT says it.
@Mark Evans – Thinking can be good for us.
Yes, I also think he had all the people from Russia and others countries prior to 2016 elections all plotted and planned on him running to pay his debts and use the office and our tax dollors to use for personal gain
He new the Fed’s were after him / investigating him prior and new he could hide behind the presidency to prevent upcoming charges.
Now he’s desperate cause of his criminal activitys he was and is doing. Stay well and hope for paper ballots. Russia, most likely has all the security info to hack again this year…
Get the duck tape tool box out.
Donnie Bunker and the GOP will never understand that without containing the virus, the economy will never come back..Dumb & Dumber..🥴🤔
is biden basement biden then? cuz he in his basement all the time look it up
Bunker Donnie!
The WH squatters need to be evicted NOW!
My thoughts exactly…
Vote Blue
Never! Four more wonderful years
You know they say when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible? It’s here, brought to you not by Donald Trump (he’s a mere symptom) but by the Republican Party.
3:00 “What he has done is gonna be doggie doo stuck to the shoe of the Republicans for a very long time to come because they enabled him to do these bad things.”
@John Swo He was selected by the gop. They are ultimately responsible.
@Hillbilly Viking Your name is appropriate (look that up).
@Herman ten Klooster 🖕(look that up)
@Teresa S Trump launders dictators’ dirty money.
If it’s not benefiting corporations and billionaires, republicans will automatically be against it.
@A Republic If You Can Keep It. Smart of you to come to MSM. Just listening to FOX and their sunshine donnie kissing “stories” will get you killed. Stay safe. Listen to MSM. We love it!
@A Republic If You Can Keep It. Biden isn’t much better than Trump, but he IS better.
We don’t have a Candidate worth voting for, but every American Patriot will be voting against Trump, no matter who the other candidate is. Trump has proven himself to be the most corrupt, criminal, and incompetent POTUS in all of American History.
@Jeremy Backup Actually Biden might surprise you, he’s already said that much more change is needed and that things cannot go back to the way they were. It sounds to me like he’s accepting some of Bernie’s progressive policies; also, if he makes Elizabeth Warren his VP then that will make the ticket much stronger. But at the end of the day, if you really aren’t satisfied with Biden as President just remember that it takes a whole party to lead, not just one man, so go read the Democratic Policy Platform and I think you’ll start seeing some sunshine coming our way during the next four years; assuming that Biden wins, of course!
Joe Biden 2020! Save America, save the world! VOTE!
*Obama changed the face of our economy for the worse*
Oct 2016 https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/economy-budget/299881-obama-changed-the-face-of-our-economy-for-the-worse
Question: What do Hong Kong, Singapore, Chile, Ireland and Estonia have in common?
Answer: They all have more economic freedom than the United States.
According to the 2016 edition of the Index of Economic Freedom — compiled annually by the Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation — America has matched its lowest global ranking ever at #11, its seventh decline in the past eight years. Measuring such factors as rule of law, regulatory efficiency, limited government, and open markets, they conclude, “The United States remains mired in the ranks of the ‘mostly free,’ the second-tier economic freedom status into which it dropped in 2010.”
Many believe we’ve arrived at this state of affairs due to the nature America’s mixed economy—capitalism coupled with government controls—and its nexus with President Barack Obama’s eight years of collectivist ideas and policies into American life and the economy. The result: Obama and his administration have upset, perhaps in some respects irrevocably, the tenuous balance between private enterprise (free markets, productivity, entrepreneurial growth, etc.) and the countervailing winds of government coercion and intervention.
Certainly one of the primary culprits in this dynamic is the blizzard of regulations imposed under Obama. As reported by Sam Batkins of the American Action Forum (AAF), the Obama presidency has implemented 600 major regulations—defined as regulations that have “an economic impact of $100 million or more”—and is on track to enact 641 major regulations before he leaves office. This figure shatters the 426 regulations under President George Bush and represents a new major regulation every three days—according to Batkins costing, “on average, $1.4 billion . . . With the possibility of 50 more rules, the lame duck tally could push this regulatory cost figure to $813 billion . . . more than the GDP of the Philippines.”
Faced with these and other findings, Obama remains obdurate and combative—offering kingly declarations in response: “By almost every measure, we are better off than when I took office” and “Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction.” These assertions fly in the face of the numerous non-fictions he simply refuses to acknowledge: a labor participation rate near a 40-year low (including a record number of women); his single-handed accumulation of more debt (at $19.5 trillion and counting) than every other president before him combined;46 million Americans living in poverty and nearly 50 million on food stamps; his presidency overseeing a record number of home foreclosures; as well as America’s credit rating downgraded for the first time ever . . . the litany goes on. Is it any wonder that trust in Obama’s leadership and his administration remains at historically low levels? After almost eight years of government corruption, ever-expanding spending and taxation, bloating of the administrative state, and governance repeatedly highlighting racial, social and religious divisions, the once unassailable belief in America as the freest, strongest, noblest, most prosperous nation in history has been supplanted by a vision of ourselves that we do not recognize and from which we may never recover.
Obama’s insistence on government being increasingly involved in the country’s private sector’s economic decision-making has inevitably given rise to more and more lobbyists, more special interest groups, more political influence, and more crony capitalism—which makes a mockery of his pledge to create an “unprecedented level of openness” and his claim that his administration has been “the most transparent administration in history.” His proof? Every visitor who comes to the White House is now a part of the public record.
Given Obama’s lineage, his mentors and political influences, his controversial friends and associations, his background as a community organizer and neighborhood economic developer, should we be surprised that he is a man who knows only how to slice up the pie, rather than grow the pie? It is who he is. It’s in his DNA. He can’t help himself.
Is it only a matter of time before America slides down to the next lower level of the economic freedom index and joins the ranks with Poland, Barbados, Albania, Rwanda, Namibia, Guatemala, Italy, Slovenia, and others—as “moderately free”?
@A Republic If You Can Keep It. Biden is a far, far, far better choice than the crazy man in the Whitehouse now.
If this was a Latin country, the people would surround the White House protesting their president and demanding his resignation and successfully so. It’s too bad that 40% or more of America actually love this toddler dictator empowered with our tax dollars.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 bra bra bra
Oh really, people from Latin countries want to come here so bad they jump the line then the fence.
@Fay Falcon it’s easier to do that when the military is weaker. nd this ain’t Jamaica or some Spanish country, plus ain’t nobody getting that close to the White House maybe by the gates…
Never mind Latin, I can’t think of any western democracy where this would be tolerated. The only thing that stops the US citizens is fear. They know that if they protest they’ll be met with violence, including the very real possibility of being fired upon. Even the Germans or the British would pull that guy out of there themselves if they had to.
He’s against commies like you and it’s more like 80% like him. You are the loud minority.
LOL, “doggie doo”. She’s such a gramma. But fiercely protective of us. Love her.
Norma Hernandez no we don’t!
showlogicprod he doesn’t huh? And she does? Says another non Californian! 🙄 supporting blindly
@Hihifo Ha’apai
You’re the blind deaf and dumb one, bubba. Your god trump cares about trump, his rich pals, and putin. And no one else.
But of course you totally UN-American trolls will keep desperately trying to make sure you keep that troll check coming in by spewing b.s.
showlogicprod and you Democrat’s care about what? Taking our jobs to foreigners? Nancy Cares about who? Herself and her rich pals! You are a lot more lost than you say! Biden is considered a criminal and Ukraine is investigating him for firing a prosecutor general in order to grant them a billion dollars to not investigate his son Hunter Biden! Thats who you’re voting for! Name one foreign exchange Trump has made in his 3yrs he’s been president?? He’s kept jobs in the US! You sound like you flip patty’s for a living and live in your moms basement! Get a life
@Hihifo Ha’apai
Gee, yet another pile of trump cultist b.s. You’re just repeating the same b.s. trump spews daily… and you’ll keep that up til death. Oh.. as for Biden and Ukraine…. With ZERO evidence, trump claims that former Vice President and 2020 Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden strong-armed the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor in order to thwart an investigation into a company tied to his son, Hunter Biden. But sources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim. It wasn’t because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden’s son; it was because Shokin wasn’t pursuing corruption among the country’s politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe. Shokin’s inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine’s parliament. Without pressure from Joe Biden, European diplomats, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations, Shokin would not have been fired, said Daria Kaleniuk, co-founder and executive director of the Anti Corruption Action Centre in Kiev. “Civil society organizations in Ukraine were pressing for his resignation,” Kaleniuk said, “but no one would have cared if there had not been voices from outside this country calling on him to go.”
It should be mentioned that corrupt Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin claimed in May 2019 that he had been investigating Burisma Holdings. However, Vitaly Kasko, who had been Shokin’s deputy overseeing international cooperation before resigning in February 2016 citing corruption in the office, provided documents to Bloomberg News indicating that under Shokin, the investigation into Burisma had been dormant. Also, the investigation into Burisma only pertained to events happening before Hunter Biden joined the company.

Oh, and you obviously don’t realize bubba… regarding your hatred for immigrants… we’ve heard and seen every last one of you hardcore xenophobes posts, thousands of times over….. ALL of them being pure clap trap. Maybe you’re not with-it enough to do the basic objective research needed to know that we have an immigrant based economy in this nation… and we need MORE immigrants not less. Immigrants do way less crime than homegrown bubba ‘murcans anyway… and they do jobs our young men and women refuse to do these days. Or maybe you wanna get out there in the hot sun working the fields all day? Or cleaning the motel rooms, restrooms etc etc? Automation is taking away the most jobs, NOT immigrants. And immigrants never took your job anyway. If you’re unemployed, your boss gave your job to an immigrant who was more qualified and eager to work harder than you.
Pelosi has a proven record of working for The People… even if you’re too lazy to research that FACT… instead just spewing that same hardcore hatred for her as your boss trump has taught you. Meanwhile, repubs have went bonkers on working for The Corporations. Example A: 1.5 trillion $$ tax SCAM: 85% went to rich who don’t even need it, and they only pumped 3-4% of that back into employees. The rest went to stock buybacks. 15% went to middle class… which after a couple years turns into a tax INCREASE for us. And corporations paid $90 billion LESS taxes, while citizens paid $90 billion $$ MORE taxes. AND McConnell and trump are now barking to reduce medicare/medicaid and social security payments to PAY for that huge hole in our budget. AND our tax breaks were REMOVED (including teachers being able to write off on taxes the $$ they spend on school supplies etc for poor kids), and because of it, TEN OF THOUSANDS are now having to pay IRS hundreds and thousands… whereas before they got REFUNDS.
You COULD stop spewing all that obviously b.s. clap trap… but that would jeopardize your russian troll check. The one you started taking after you decided to sell-out your own country. That’s what’s called TREASONOUS. And after we finally remove corrupt trump from the WH Jan 20 at 12 noon… one of the things he’ll be tried for will be treason. And his cultists are enablers… thereby ALSO guilty of treason. So you way just wanna STFU and go underground. No telling how deep the imprisonments will go. You losers have been warned.
I will never understand why it is so hard to get rid of a mad man in office.
GOP senate , the way Donald’s friends & republican connected people got billions of the fund to help struggling Americans ,they want more .
@Colleen K M its absolutely insane that they cant see through this crap. Just him hiding and fighting to keep his taxes hidden should throw up a red flag thats something is not right.
Its insane
@Grandpa 43 You mean free-dumb.
Elisbith Rumble; Because Trump has a CULT FOLLOWERS.
Because you are totally stupid.
The GOP can still take action and invoke the 25th amendment. However, they continue to be complicit in the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent americans.
They can’t because Trump will tell everyone how they were in on the Russian plan to elect him from the beginning !!
As long as so many in Trump’s cabinet believe Trump was chosen by God to be POTUS, there’ll be no invoking the 25th Amendment. It’s another good example of why religion and governance shouldn’t mix.
3:00 “What he has done is gonna be doggie doo stuck to the shoe of the Republicans for a very long time to come because they enabled him to do these bad things.”
@jcspider time for a change,get those Republicans con men out, haven’t they done enough,
That’s not counting the millions of black aborted babies. Oh, that was the Democrats who did that. My mistake
They allow mitch and donny to run amuck because they’re making money. It’s all the republikkkans care about.
racist
@Paul Wilson Racist?
Why dont they give the $600.- a week to everybody, (like the stimulus check), and keep the unemployment benefits at state level as it was before the virus.
yeah, yall gave two trillion to a bunch of already rich motherfutkers and they don’t even pay taxes like us working blokes do.
yeah, yall gave two trillion to a bunch of already rich motherfutkers and they don’t even pay taxes like us working blokes do.
If Trump wants to stop testing citizens he should stop testing in the White House constantly too!
Exactly but that’s the point, as long as he, his family, and people he’s around daily are tested constantly he cares less about anyone else
don’t these congressmen have work to do, other than posing for hospice class?
If you go test chances are your gonna be positive. If you test positive they get 10.000 dollars a pop
The republicons will jump because Generalisimo Orange El Presidente has spoken.

The Republicans are afraid to pass the Voting Rights Act because they are afraid of the reaction of #45

Republicans prove how crooked this administration is!

We have to end this Virus sitting at the Oval Office. Once he is voted out, we can then truly eliminate the Corona Virus…
