Sanders: Take Trump Threat To U.S. Democracy Seriously | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
You know the russians are helping GOP with these strategies of how to implement authoritarian government.
Have you got a source for these wild accusations?
Really? PROVE IT…
😂
Don the Con not smart enough to figure it out himself. PUTIN!
Read the Mueller Report, C.
Anyone who doesn’t think hes actively undermining our Republic and should be charged with Sedition isn’t paying attention.
@Susan Farley Things change, Karen.
@frank sturmfuhrer Must be a trumper, can’t even get the quote right. LOL.
So much undermining! So seditious!
Sincerely – DNC BLM ANTIFA
Trump 2020 🇺🇸
Sedition? I am literally in favor of charging him with treason. This is madness. I was a Republican until very recently, but I cannot associate myself with this, or with any party that tolerates it.
🌊We
should Vote in GREAT NUMBERS for BIDEN/HARRIS so there is NO QUESTION
as to who is the clear winner! Let us save our DEMOCRACY!🌊
🌊🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Diana , RED WAVE TRUMP LANDSLIDE !! SAVE AMERICA !!
@Jack Li Even your dad knows you are a liar.
@Chihuahua Daddy HOC That’s not true.
@Jeff Gibson Pres Trump-Impeached
Steve Bannon- Indicted
Roger Stone- Convicted
Michael Flynn-Convicted
Pail Manafort-Convicted
Michael Cohen-Convicted
George Papadoplous-Convicted
I wouldn’t care if the president was republican or democrat, if you can’t commit to a peaceful transfer, that is very concerning.
Anen.
And Un-American, since there’s been an America. Gen. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Franklin… the Founding Fathers (and Founding Mothers had anyone asked), were united in their endeavor to make sure the US President not be a King. And “Don’t Tread On Me,” in recent years co-opted by the Right Wing, has meant, since its founding and now: No King.
@James Beryllis That’s exactly right! I did like Yang but never would I choose to be a worthless donkey like you.
Rightt
@Sensible116 True.
Mitch McConnells’ statement about having a proper exchange of presidents might sound good, but it’s not.
If judges decide Trump should be president it still works for Republicans. Same thing with Kay Kay Kayleigh,
saying President Trump would step down if he lost a fair and free election. Look who says it’s corrupt already.
Just remember Queen Hillary has already advocated chaos if Dementia Joe doesn’t win. And with candidates like Biden/Harris what else could she say?
@Harold Moops Just watch! The country has had enough of your Orange Fuhrer!
@Chihuahua Daddy HOC It really doesn’t matter who wins the election… thanks to mass mail in ballots this election is going to be a disaster. You know it… I know it… everybody knows it. It’s ludicrous to expect President Trump to pledge that he’ll concede to the election results until there’s proof of who really won. The democrats have already said they wouldn’t concede under any circumstances… so there’s that. The really scary thing is the outside chance that Nasty Nancy will get her hands on the reigns of the Executive.
@Harold Moops stop..thats NOT what she said or did..she simpytold him not to concede..who would when up against the worst criminal in office?
@Harold Moops the prob Harold..isnt that if there’s proof he lost he will leave..hes saying there is NO way possible that he will lose and if he does its bc it’s rigged..of course there is a grand possibility he will lose when 60%+ of America is NOT voting for him..he also says the ballots..the exact ballots he n millions of others use n have for decades will be fraudulent..A judge in Pa told him to show proof..he couldn’t..this is nothing but an excuse for him to try to stay in power..its pathetic..hes pathetic.
When someone shows you who they’re the first time….BELIEVE them. You got one chance at evictin Trump & some of his goons on Nov 3, America. Vote like your life depends on it…cuz the future of your democracy is at stake.
@Z. Deutch how about flush all the Turds?……never vote repub or dem again!
@Z. Deutch Can we copy and paste this everywhere?
No..we have more than one..if he cheats his way in again he will be impeached AND convicted n thrown out of the white house ASAP bc dems WILL take the Senate n kick him out..pence n Barr too..
@Z. Deutch thank you..excellent info..not sure how to share it tho..
trumps actions have helped minorities but sad his personality(misconstrued by media) is helping dems! biden after 47 years has answers in the 48th years for all problems, yes i believe it again
Finally, a Senator who says LISTEN to what Trump is saying. He’s right! Take Trump seriously, he is dangerous!
The Bloomberg Index is dangerous!
Roger Williams
Will Mark Twain write THIS “bombshell” book about Trump?
“… Here are 10 facts since Trump was elected that prove this is the best overall economy in more than 50 years:
Employment:
PBS News Hour confirmed that this is the best labor market since 1969 with low unemployment, more jobs and rising wages.
GDP:
Trump is the first president to have GDP consistently higher than 3%, President Barack Obama was only the president to fail to achieve one year of 3% GDP growth.
Wages:
The Washington Post even surrenders to the fact that Trump is the first president to improve wages in a generation where income is at an all-time high.
Stock Market:
CNN says the stock market has roared more than 40% since Trump’s election.
Gas and Fuel Prices:
Gas prices are low in most U.S. states that don’t over-tax fuel with local and state taxes. Many states have $2.15 per gallon gasoline right now. Gas prices may fall this summer according to the latest news.
Ethnic Employment Success:
The employment success for all ethnicities is at record high. Obama had difficulty creating jobs and many people gave up looking for work.
Manufacturing Jobs:
Manufacturing jobs are back in the U.S. for the first time in a generation. Trump created 284,000 manufacturing jobs in 2018. Forbes implied that millions of manufacturing jobs were lost during Obama’s first 2 years in office. Some 1 in 6 were lost between January 2008 and March 2010 and Obama never got those jobs back.
Taxes and Regulatory:
Corporate taxes were cut from 35% to 21%. America moved from worst tax system up to one of the most competitive in the world under Trump’s first 2 years in office. Lower tax rates allow U.S. companies to spend more money, buy more assets, pay more employee benefits, buy stock back to put money on Main Street and into state coffers, and even help pay better dividends to seniors who live paycheck to paycheck.
Nasdaq:
The Nasdaq stock market value finally exceeded the 1999 prices under Trump. This implies that companies were stagnant for 18 years until Trump took office.
Level the Playing Field:
With a mixed bag of tax-code improvements, removal of red tape, new trade agreements, and competitive tariffs, the U.S. economy is more insulated from failure. Even the Federal Reserve is willing to lower rates if other countries harm the U.S. trading environment. … “
Interesting enough Bernie keeps getting Trump elected.
@bryanatwku 😊
The republicans will fall in line and allow him to become the dictator.
Bernie hit the nail squarely on the head. This is exactly what Trump and his acolytes are planning. Those “militia” people are so stupid and only want violence, that any form of nuanced critical or logical reasoning is completely lost on them.
4 years we’ve watched Democrats attack conservatives. Now Democrats are threatening Civil War. This is what brings about militias.🤦♂️
Stupidity runs deep in this one.
@Hilda Higgins assumptions? Really? Trump really did say he won’t commit to a peaceful transition. He really is trying to stack the supreme court before the election. He really did put a guy in the post office that is slowing the mail. He really has spent the last six months gas lighting people on how the election will be rigged. He really has been talking to the state legislatures about installing electors to the electoral college that are favourable to him and the justice department really has been releasing stories about voter fraud that seem to be designed to bolster his rants. Trump projects all the time – Bernie’s right – if he says Biden is cheating – then Trump is cheating. If he says Biden has mental acuity issues, then Trump has mental acuity issues. The guy is trying to steal the election.
Foniks Monkee I really wont respond to anyone who has no idea what their talking about….. but put this in perspective, politicians who have been in office half a century, done nothing and only play games on us, take their money (from us) play manipulating tactics to “win” that’s all they care about – they HATE seeing regular people wanting the best for the country and who won them four years ago – I am not going on pick aside in neither but yes these are assumptions from Bernie and he IS predicting and being petty. These old politicians are the most narcissistic people you can find on earth.
Don’t be a sheep.
Btw I had my doubts about trump before I saw actual results in such short time, no president has done what he has accomplished. He doesn’t even take salary as a president or politician. Dems hate it so much that their only focus is to win win but not really talk about any real plans or anything just “smear Trump”. That’s not going to fix anything.
Trump isn’t a nice person but he is a do-er. But I get it, it’s hard to stop thinking for ur selfs when the media that’s (80% owned by Democrats) is feeding you with so many lies and negative things.
@Hilda Higgins of course he’s predicting – but he’s predicting based on exactly what Trump told you with his own mouth he will do.
Also… Trump is not what’s best for the country or any country. He’s a crook.
@Foniks Monkee Yes. Trump has nothing else to occupy himself but watching Fox and other Right Wing outlets and endeavoring to steal the election.
If Joe Biden is good enough for Bernie Sanders to endorse over tRump then Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are getting my vote on my own volition.
@Planet Earth Sure, yes. Still have to counter the trolls with short reasonableness, sometimes, to help fight back . And sometimes ignore or humor them, not for their hopeless selves, but for others.
trumps actions have helped minorities but sad his personality(misconstrued by media) is helping dems! biden after 47 years has answers in the 48th years for all problems, yes i believe it again
May be you should do some REAL research and not do Trump reading…which means NO reading. Just spout off something that some mysterious someone who someone else told that someone which some unknown but “supposedly” real person once said.
Don’t do this Trump style “reading”. You know perfectly that your statements are what you heard someone say that they heard from someone who swears that they heard it from some mysterious person who heard it from someone else…and on and on, ad nauseam.
@Jan Okumura i’m joe biden and i approve this message from my BASEMENT
…and there it is ladies and gentlemen. Bernie Sanders just laid out the dangerous precedent being set by Donald Trump and don’t think for a second that Republicans are not willing follow him into the authoritarian abyss. They will do precisely that to maintain political power.
This has been in the making for a while. He started this with the disinformation using Q and other sources. And he has himself as ” the chosen one ” . He is telling you exactly what he plans on doing. Take it seriously like Bernie said. He is the only one I have seen address the urgency of acting now. What are they waiting for? He doesn’t value human life..
read this, its very interesting, you would swear they are talking about trump
https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP78-02646R000600240001-5.pdf
@Mno buzzz mmh a lot of things. But trump can’t speak or read. That’s it. So evry body how have mor than 5 IQ could see what will be happened
He’s far from the only one..for two days now I’ve seen everyone voicing outrage n concern..everyone except repukelikkkans..
Qanon is a hoax invented by democrats to make conservatives look superstitious. I’ve been watching hoaxes since the 60’s. They always feed you a little information, drop by drop it gets more ridiculous. What started out a little bit plausible, ends when the dems accuse a conservative of believing something ridiculous. It tends to defame a large group of conservatives.
It doesn’t matter who ran against Trump,. Trump would still be saying the election is rigged.
@Moderate Martian
I bet you’d throw me some heroin money, huh, demonspawn?
So..what will he say if he WINS? He wont. but just curious..
@Pickle Schnö absolutely yes..putin even admitted he helped trump win..on stage in Helsinki after trump defended him for it and denied that he did it..lol trumps so stupid.putin called him out on stage n 45 still wants to bend over for him. dumb
@I have a BIG gun historic peace deals when he cant keep peace in his own country?..exec orders that aren’t worth the paper they are written on and have almost no chance of becoming anything or getting done..oh wait..he signed an order for preexisting conditions..that we ALREADY have bc of Obama..see.. a useless exec order just to appear as if he’s doing somethig with healthcare..he has NO PLAN..im old enuf not to be brainwashed by the news..ive seen bad presidents..45 isn’t bad..hes horrible..hes a tragedy placed upon us..hes a coldhearted killer of over 205000 American citizens..hes also going to be voted out come Nov or impeached by december..either or as long as he’s gone..
@Tony Quinn no..that was trump.putin even admitted it…nice try at deflection tho..fail😂😂😂
We’re lucky Trump’s strategy was laid bare early. He’s just not the brightest bulb.
I don’t agree. Trump’s genius is in manipulating people against their own interests. My guess is that he’s doing this on purpose to cause people to freak out so the non-transfer goes smoother than it otherwise would. It’s a bold choice, but he’s learned that telegraphing his plans in advance causes a cognitive dissonance in the public that works to his advantage.
America, we have a Dictator on our hands. Do your thing and vote blue asap.
@Dave Ponsford I forget was it Hillary who first advised Biden not to concede under any circumstances?
Jack Li there’s one way dictators have been removed throughout our world’s history…. that is death…..
@Carlos Diaz Death removes everyone Carlos. What you are trying to incite is assassination.
@Diana BWAHAHAHA OKAY…

VOTE tRump OUT!
Trump’s gonna mop the floor with Biden 🥊😎🥊😫 Rope a Dope 🇺🇸 enjoy the show
@Fun Fact Deaf, dumb, and blind.
Wake up and vote trump out by millions.
@Nadia Silvershine
Yes, but under America’s version of ‘democracy’ the person with the least votes often wins. America is a sick and backward country in many ways, that is one of them.
@George Kush
What a great country, what fantastic people you Americans are, look at what you elect, Trump, the Clintons, Biden, McConnell, most of your politicians are liars and charlatans no matter what party. No wonder the USA is in the mess it’s in, you’re all not right in the head.
Cheers
@Jim Battersbee I’m not American, I just came here to wind up commies before Trump gets his second term.
@George Kush
“commies???” hahahahaha, if you’re not American you should consider emigrating, you’d fit right in!!
More than 3 million at least(hillary)..30 mill would be fantastic tho..
Trump calls Vladimir Putin on a weekly bases.
Did you know they are talking about re-negotiating a new Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty? A treaty is expiring next month and Trump wants China to join the next treaty. That’s why leaders talk.

trump is desperate because if/when he loses the election, he is going to jail. He MUST be stopped.
