Rep. Zoe Lofgren On Impeachment, What Congress Has Been Working On | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Hello Dems, we need a massive increase in min wage! Wages have been stagnant for at least 30 years
@Andy C https://equitablegrowth.org/factsheet-minimum-wage-increases-are-good-for-u-s-workers-and-the-u-s-economy/
We can do this all day but the fact is people who spend ie middle and.lower class worker who have more money to spend will. Still waiting for trickle down to ever work
My info is from an independent source yours is from a conservative think thank which one is actually trustable and don’t say fake news because you’re wrong bigly
Ray Khan Whatever. It was the first sight that popped up. I don’t expect a liberal to understand economics
@Andy C of course not you just expect them to clean up conservatives messes and then blame them
Ray Khan Hahah The only messes I see are the Democratic ran cities

Over 300 bills passed on Moscow Mitch’s desk FFS 😠
That needs to be on the front page of every major newspaper and website.
McConnell will fall with trump and the rest of the parasites in the senate!
@Dave Schultz No one is Above the law!
And woe to those who threaten democracy!
@Baxter Powel , Then I’m sure you will have NO PROBLEM with a legal and fair Investigation of Creepy Joe and his Crack Head son. Good.
What world do you morons live on?! You really believe Trump is losing this charade by the demorats….ooops I forgot Hildabeast won the election and Warren is an Indian and MSMBC is the best news channel on the planet. 😂😂😂
HK is a nuisance for Trump in his efforts to get China to investigate Biden
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Exactly why Joe Biden’s actions should be investigated along with every politician that became a millionaire while in public office
Scalpking 47 is a turd polisher.
Amazing how quickly you stand by your people right or wrong
Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated primary characteristics, which are the most common features shared by destructive cults.
1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority.
2. A process of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as coercive persuasion or thought reform commonly called “brainwashing”.
The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of its leader.
3. The exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling members.
Here are 10 warning signs of a potentially unsafe group or leader.
• Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
• No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
• No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget or expenses, such as an independently audited financial statement.
• Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
• There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
• Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
• There are records, books, news articles, or broadcast reports that document the abuses of the group/leader.
• Followers feel they can never be “good enough”.
• The group/leader is always right.
• The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
As we’ve all seen, when it comes to the warning signs and characteristics of a cult, Trump and his followers check most of the boxes.
Yesssss
RICO ACT! The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
Electing a criminal doesn’t legalize Criminality.
Removing a Criminal from office isn’t a Coup.
True words.
Jeremy Backup … I agree
Brain Dead
Trump’s legislation stockpile is purposeful so he can have a grand bill signing event. “I signed more legislation than Obama or any other President. What I don’t understand – how can’t everyone see it coming!
Hay Moscow mitch, why are you blocking Bill’s to protect elections????
Hypocrisy from the gopee
Good Ol’ Moscow Mitch – NOT DOING HIS JOB!
Unless it is GENUINELY news worthy MSNBC needs to STOP showing us Steve Bannon.
Congress needs to keep working 24 hrs a day 7 days a wk. with all the drama unfolding in this Impeachment Inquiry. No holidays or days off. Its really important.

Jesus, if Trump were POTUS during WWII, we’d have joined the Axis instead of the Allies.
