Rucker And Leonnig Share Details About Trump's Handling Of Jan. 6 Attack
Every time Trump says the word “country” he really means “me.”
@Paul nonprofit doesn’t mean the employees and founders don’t get paid lmfao. It simply means organization doesn’t take in profit. Churches are considered nonprofit organizations and there are several millionaires amongst clergy lmfao. Stop using terms you clearly don’t understand 🤣.
@Thomas Harte Tom, you do know Biden is President NOW? OH, you dont want to talk about this guy? Geez Don’t blame you liberals.
YEP, I just posted a current headline with 850,000 views that COMMIETUBE does not like — goes against the narrative and has tremendous implications for the immune system —- SAD SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!
@WSOX Man
Off course I know that Joe Biden is president now and so does the rest of the world. And it was such a relief for the rest of the world when Joe Biden kicked tRumps Out of the White House. The world can sleep safely now that the Lunatic is gone
@Thomas Harte Tommy, read your comment over again. Notice you sound like some Cub fan talking trash about my Sox. Tom, this ain’t a sporting even.
Yes Stats count. And Biden is batting sub 100 and someone else is making the decisions.
Notice you didn’t site one Biden policy that Anericans support.
I bet you think Biden and VP Giggles, are “uniting the people ” Fact=:we are more divided ever!
So try again talking about Now and our country. Most are passed Trump. Stop making him the excuse.
The Former Guy, what a sh’t
The failed & disgraced former guy, Trump, who sullied the reputation of our nation, is a flaming $hitheel.
The only reason Trump is tolerated by the GOP is Trump’s base.
“Believe me.”
@Muddy Water the vaccine has been proven to work it has gone through ALL clinical trials and mRNA type has been around for 20 years.
@Muddy Water Jock is correct, you don’t seem to understand anything at all.
Me
@ORANGE GENERAL Not yet, but it soon will be. Lifelong Republicans are leaving the party.

The media should have shut the Trump door after he walked thru it for the last time…😠
@James James. . .Carlos is one of yours, Dr. Einstein.

@James James well it not free to be Nazi, bubba! It’s not what he did to me personally, other than being generally more than offensive. It’s What he did to others! What he would have done if he could to others! And the fact that he wants to be Putin in America. Just not gonna have that.
@James James I don’t hate Trump I hate hearing about him in the news because he’s not relevant.
@Chandler Bing that funny but not true , I dont play team politics . Yes I voted for Trump but also Barack Obama and last election Joe Biden
News Flash the orange menace is still a clear and present danger to democracy.
@YT is f’ing garbage now! YouTube
@Florida Man maybe even sooner.
@Matt O you just described biden 🤣🤣
@kathy weis “I have long very thick curly hair” please we don’t need personal details of you in the comments section. Who’s the troll?

trump incited an armed insurrection on january 6 2021 to overthrow a fair democratic election
Pence didn’t “do his duty.” He was willing to subvert democracy and cheat but not to break the law.
@Mike Kelley 7 million illegal immigrants voted for biden, thats a fact.
@james zimmerman MI lawyer proved they were. Why do you believe they were NOT? Its inconceivable that they were not.
@thegreen iguana Your mind has been stolen
Lol
The money djt is collecting IS FOR HIS POCKET.
@mike briganti Oh by the way, it was his campaign promise to not take a salary, not the taxpayer’s promise. It might have been the only thing he actually followed through on.
mike briganti – By not taking a salary, he cost the treasury more, because it went to charity, and then he took the tax deduction. It’s good that it was charity and all, but his charity was dissolved, and it’s being investigated for what the NY AG calls a “shocking pattern of illegality”.
@mike briganti 🤦 He did no need the pay check since He stoles from some other places 🤑
@mike briganti how much did donnie bone spurs con from you?
@mike briganti Trump did take paychecks. He donated his pay and took the deduction.
Frank Zappa once famously called the rock press “People who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read.” Well, you got two out of three here.
His narcissism overtakes all sense of reality. The Republicans only use him for the voters that follow him. That in turn shows what and who they care about…political power and their individual political futures. Democracy and the American people are completely absent in their agendas. The voted against the bipartisan Jan. 6th commission, the American Rescue Plan and the For The People Act…it’s crystal clear. VOTE BLUE 2022!
Maybe America should worry about the fact that 70 million of them voted for and apparently still adore a clinically insane, wannabe fascist dictator fraudster.
Lol
Doesn’t say much to the people who need his backing to keep their seats. How do they live with themselves having such low opinions of themselves.
I mean, they’re Republicans in 2021. If they had morals and a spine, their party would have disowned them like Liz Cheney.
They just take more money from Russia, google to find out what Republicans take the money, and how much!!!
Absolutely!! Mr. Ford I have been asking myself that very question I mean no self respect at all or even to their families!!
They live craving for any position of power. Look at these folk, what would they be doing otherwise? Be pundits at radical rightwing media outlets like fox or oan or high profile jobs in the private sector? Who would hire them at this point? They cant but help follow down the rat hole all the way to the bottom…
What kind of families do they have, how do they face their children everyday?
The demon shafted a children’s charity. Duh.
@Denise Akins Trump doesn’t care his a grifter and steals from his supports too.
And a Veterans charity. He ” collected” money for. Then spent the money.. his supporters just don’t care they are losers just like trump. 2024 Trump will be more delusional then ever. ( If that’s possible) and totally incontinent. Lots of supporters to change Donnie’s diapers though. Of course his supporters like him. He gets away with everything they wish they could do. Cheating on their spouses, cheating on taxes, that’s cheating on everyone who does pay their taxes, lying about everything and his total lack of knowledge about everything. Trump has made it just fine to be stupid. God must love stupid people, or he wouldn’t have made so many of them.
Yes, now there is no, ‘Made In China’ under the tree.
Amazingly his followers don’t believe that, or the fake university scam. Literally, they argue with you that it’s fake news and was all made up to hurt him.
You think Trump cares?
Pence did the right thing only because he had no choice he’s on the right side of history but just barely
Being the only one who had actually read the Constitution gave him an advantage
Doing his job that day probably makes him the smartest person in that administration.
Four years of sitting by Trump and staring at him glowingly was tough, thespian work on the bolt-upright Pence.
Waiting for Pence to speak out ??? Waiting for a jellyfish to fly ? It’s spineless !
Republicans have nothing but follow the insane ramblings of a con man, the Party is truly empty
Lol
Its been like this since reagan.
tRump really needs immediate medical attention; he is so delusional I find it surprising he is able to draw breath
He’s an Oxygen thief!
That Pence investigated the possibility of following tRumps instructions is horrifying.
Yes. It is.
Lol
Maybe a lot of people like how he grabs them by the crotch attitude!
Trump could be in jail and his supporters would STILL send him money, 🐂🐄🐃that they are!
He’s laughing all the way to the bank, he’s found the cash cow.
The “former guy” is NOT A KING or a “King maker!” That’s something that he insisted that he is..🙄🤨 His sycophants don’t know any better..😡
