Rep. Shalala: ‘We Do Not Work For The President’ We Work For The People | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC

  1. Trump’s demands are simply unacceptable,particularly the payroll and capital gains tax cuts. Fiscally irresponsible and morally repugnant.

  2. The only work going on in t’rump’s administration is translating the briefings into picture books and covering up their own incompetence.

  3. Subpoena? Didn’t Trump, McConnell and Barr already flip Congress and America off the last time we used this mechanism to get any information?

    1. The Senate? They lied, cheated, and broke their sworn oaths covering for the trumps crimes. Pffft…

      *VOTE*

    2. @Wa Ly And openly admitted (McConnell) they were not going to be impartial as dictated by the Constitution to do so – (from the Constitution) “I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: so help me God”. In McConnell’s case, his version would be “I promised to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws. So, um, help me, God?”

  4. I saw this on line recently: “Every disaster movie starts with the government ignoring a scientist.”

    Seems accurate.

    1. @Mike Cooper I know what everyone said, thanks for the obviously genuine concern. Equating the beaches reopening in jaws with the beaches reopening in california, and claiming both have any connection to the economy, is entirely asinine

    2. @SAVAGE TUNER it’s called hyperbole. You may have to look it up since it’s more than 1 syllable.

    3. @SAVAGE TUNER also, beaches are part of the reason vacationers visit shore points and summer resort areas. They also support the local economies at those places. Glad you’re finally tracking.

    4. When they shut down schools they should have not allowed people to go into stores and only allowed over the phone service for pick up so name, list of food, and service. Meanwhile testing to stop the virus. This wasn’t a joke in the first week or so people were loosing jobs and money. People who already, were on the outside of working the first wweeek. I say it’s too late. People keep talking about science but not just doing what I said we would have half the cases we have now.

  5. 25th! He is not capable of handling USA. ALL THE FLIPPING RED TAPE AND BEAUACRACY. DO SOMETHING B4 WE ARE ALL DEAD!!!

  6. USA is in Shambles. Thank you to Trump incompetence and Corrupt Republican Administration. And Americans have to pay with their lives. This is so very 😔

    1. And yet time and time again he is allowed to do so. This traitor deserves to be imprisoned once he is no longer POTUS.

    2. Richard, may I ask you, is there something all this mess is distracting us from? I definitely feel like we are watching a man unravel almost minute by minute. Thank you for stating the truth. Please stay safe.💙

  7. The vindictive charlatan is desperate, he needs to stay in power to stay out of prison. Brace yourself America, this is going get real messy.

    1. Somebody find him a country to escape to that doesn’t extradite Americans! I don’t care if he disappears, just as long as he goes!

    2. @monroe444444 he will never do that.. his ego forbid him , because he have to admit that he is a tremendo failure. Scortch earth is his last resort. If you think that he reacht the bottom.. think again.
      His fluffers behind the curtain are far more DANGEROUS.

  8. Remember the impeached orange pumpkin said he was a cheerleader???? Did you expect leadership????lmao!!!!!!!

  9. Mr. Trump is having a mental breakdown right in front of us! Proof he is not qualified to hold the office.

    1. He’s been doing that for over 3 years now. This sh!tshow won’t end until he’s carried out of the WH in a MAGAt body bag.
      It can’t come soon enough.

    2. no need for proof. we know he is not well in the head. he is definitely not qualified to be president. he has never been. no political experience whatsoever. wanna-be-mafia don doesn’t count.

    3. All this outsider sees is a greedy old man – who’s either a pathological liar, has a covered-up form of Alzheimer’s, or both – trying to get the money flowing to his empty hotels and golf courses, and if there’s thousands of deaths? To him, it’s just collateral damage. That man has no level of empathy, and was never qualified to run a country. The US is in a lot of trouble, and it’s going to take people with real courage to step up and fix the whole FUBARed situation.

    4. @amiho gatai no experience is half the problem, that trump won’t listen and fires anyone who knows more about the government workings is the worst.

  10. I wish you all the very best and do not vote 2020 for this child. We here in Germany are nearly through the first wave – best luck for you 😘

    1. Thank you very much! We are not planning to vote him in again. We want to vote out all the Republicans.

  11. Endless talking and no action. We need an insurgent congress that doesn’t wait on the senate leader. For gods sake people are dying in their thousands. Do something!

  12. Really? All of this seems to be a little too late. The truth of the matter is that all of these deaths at this point do not only lead to blame Trump but all of our government, they are all failures and when we needed them the most!

  13. The Senate? They lied, cheated, broke their sworn oaths covering for the trumps crimes. *VOTE*
