Velshi: This Is Our Chance To Improve American Schools | MSNBC
TRUMP POPULIST:
Make America Great Again!
BIDEN REALIST
: America was Great before Trump.
Vote DEMOCRAT.
@REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH
The economy continued t improve under Trump at about the same rate it had been improving under Obama.
@Jock Young unemployement lowering slowed during trump
SinBae have you looked at unemployment numbers recently? 😂😂😂😂
@Independent Voter Still goes together with my statement :^) but I refer to the same timeline he refers to, aka pre covid, you can clearly see a slowing end of 2015 aka trump
Independent Voter well when democrat governors keep their states closed, what would you expect 🤷🏾♂️
Can you say “quid pro quo”
quid pro Joe Biden got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired to protect his son. Where’s Hunter?
@Peter Bills
It’s amusing that you guys actually believe that, but it just shows up your ignorance.
I DONT THINK THATS THE DONNY-VIRUS PLAN, He Was Thinking Put Them In The Tank And See How Many Walk Out.
Mike Pence: “”the best expert I know on school openings is my wife”…Pence wife is an actual “Karen!!!”..🥴😂
LOL!!!😄
And Pence’s fly is always unzipped and ready. That’s why he won’t be alone with any woman. He has no sexual self control.
You know Mike, they make a genital cuff for that problem. You lock it to your leg with the cuff.
Mother knows worst.
👮STOP DICTATOR DONALD TRUMP IN NOVEMBER👮
Biden 2020 no doubt
@Charles Frederic *HEAR, HEAR!*
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE A.M JOY ON HER NEW PRIME TIME SHOW “REIDOUT” I think that’s correct.
THANK YOU MSNBC:
She’s a racist and a homophobe. Cheers from Toronto

What you talking about Velshi. Trump would never pay out for Education.See Trump University.
The Democrats and the Republicans had no problem recently agreeing on a 740 billion dollar military budget. The hypocrisy of America is eye-watering.
Velshi, a Canadian socialist who used to work for Al Jazeera
enuff said
Jim Battersbee teachers unions are a travesty and a joke! Ban the unions and mandate school choice, then education will boom and the indoctrination of our kids will cease
He’s obviously talking about life after trump.
@YouRuse is A leftist org
The USA is a “travesty and a joke”. Listen to yourself in the land of the free, “ban unions!!” hahahahahahaha, talk about ‘indoctrination’.
Funny how The Trump Administration and Betsy Devos are concern about schools when they keep cutting funds every year.🥴
All they want is the very cheapest day care possible so that their parents are free to work. They would probably cut off public education at age 14 because they no longer need child car.
Dittzx
the States and cities don’t have taxes to pay for Education?
Their children probably go to private schools that, somehow, receive public funding; less funds for us and more for them, maybe?
DeVos makes her money from private schools. That’s the reason she wants them open.
This is our chance as Americans to make many changes. Who doesn’t want that?
Watch carefully, nothing will change, a few cosmetic changes, a bit of window dressing, maybe a return to a president who can actually string a sentence together, but essentially the basic barbarism and hypocrisy that is America will remain.
Cheers
808 Dream I agree 100%, Throw all the Democrats out 😀
Berni. Elizabeth. Kamela. Have been fighting there whole lives for this. Cory and the rest…
Greatest investment is investing in children’s education. That was the reason why America was Great not so long ago.
*OH, BUT I DO KNOW MY LONG DIVISION NOW, AND ALL THE PRESIDENTS!! YIPPIE!!!!*
America has never been great. In 1944 America executed a 14 year old boy (of course he was black) for a crime it later turned out he didn’t commit.
You executed a 14 year old child.
Today you separate children from their parents and keep them in cages.
America has always been unequalled in the world for it’s barbarism and hypocrisy however.
@Jim Battersbee America has never been great, it’s just that the rest of the world has *tended* to be worse than us.
@Richard McMasky
Nope. America has always *claimed* itself to be great. The rest of the world just isn’t so hypocritical. The US is the only country in the entire world with a *rising* maternal death rate and is ranked only 46th in world life expectancy rankings. People in Hong Kong and Japan outlive Americans by over 6 years.
In the developed world, America has the worst inequality, and the worst gun violence.
America is a fantasyland, it’s all flag waving, bible bashing, advertising, movies, television and marketing. It leads the world in hypocrisy and Covid 19 deaths.
Cheers
@Jim Battersbee Sad, but true! 🤷🏻♂️🙈
MSNBC: More Velshi and Joy Reid please.
My son has asthma, there is ZERO chance I will send him to school. If he caught it he could die. No way! They cant assure his safety so not happening.
Keep those kids home until YOU know it’s safe. Don’t hurry. Protect and defend them.
Me too i’m keeping my son home he also Asthma, no way no how i would even consider that possibility.
Covid 19 like all previous Corona viruses will be here forever. You’re fked. Cheers from Toronto
Niki T
good for you. I assume you do not work or if you do you do it at home? You never go out? You and your kid stay
in your house? Because I know for a fact that no place can assure your safety. They never will.
@Alex Hamilton Because in your world, in your tiny little mind, sending kids to school is the same as going out wearing a mask, social distancing and observing all the safety measures? Ever hear of homeschooling? Why would people who have enough sense to not send their kids to school, never leave the house? and you do not know for a fact “that no place can assure anyone’s safety”. How could you? you would have to know everyone and their circumstances. My goodness! you do talk a lot of tosh!
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE OVERBLOATED DEFENSE BUDGET AND PUT IN OUR SCHOOLS!
Hahahahahaha, it’s the USA, ain’t gonna happen! Keep the people dumb is the motto.
Wrong ……
The School systems need to cut there overblown bureaucracy……
Sherry H
yes and after that you can learn, Russian, Chinese, or Persian. Study Muslim. I have a question. You do know that States and local Governments
have taxes?
I’d be happy if they took the subsidies and grants from the cruise line industry and gave it to the schools.
@Bryce Brogan
Don’t forget the endless corporate bailouts and the agriculture subsidies.
trump claim: we need to educate our children
trump reality: underfund schools pay teachers crap
The house controls the money. Not the President. Cheers from Toronto
Vic McQueen
claim we need to educate our children
Alex Hamilton’s reply: raise State and local taxes, get rid of the teachers unions, raise the pay for good teachers and fire the bad.
Put curriculum and control there of in the hands of the parents.
@foreigner fan If they can get it past the Republican-controlled Senate (i.e., the Grim Reaper Mitch McConnell).
@Bryce Brogan Democrats don’t give a sht about education. Obama was as lousy as Bush. And he was horrendous. Trumps better than both. Cheers
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever

School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher’s
Dirty looks Out for summer

Back at all
mister_love
did you get permission from Alice Cooper to post that without giving him credit?
Trump has managed to bring back the 1918 Pandemic, the 1929 Depression and the 1968 Race Riots all at the same time.
You really want him making decisions on your children’s health?
A one man triple crown winner!!!
Come on, he’s not a shipping clerk you know. Lmfao
Is it really Trump or are the Democrats behind it. Seems like they were the biggest racist in the past and it seems like they got all the money from these recent race riots and it seems like no one wants to say where the slaves came from which was the African brothers sold them into slavery which was probably better than just chopping their heads off but still. So I’m saying sure seems like it’s the Democrats behind all the chaos and that’s pretty obvious where is it all happens in Democratic cities
@toddburress68 I was going to reply, but there is no point: you obviously cannot put two and two together without making five.
The only thing Betsy Duvos is missing is the witch’s broom
…and the intelligence.
THE MOST VILE CORRUPT MEMBER OF THIS AWFUL REGIME.
SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH DAMAGE AND THAT INCLUDES TO CHILDREN TOO.
SHE SHOULD BE REMOVED ASAP.
SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT BE RE-OPENED. CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO
BE AT RISK JUST BECAUSE THESE TWO (TRUMP & DEVOS) ENTITLED JERKS THINK SO.
Mike, that’s the best you have up in that little brain?
Make a juvenial comment about a person doing her job? Care to expand your brain with facts and common sense?
Oh, you’re a member of the Teachers Union?
We really like Velshi. We started following him during the protests
He is a very well spoken, articulate reporter. Thanks – Velshi.
lily and murphy
if you are into news slanted to the left.
I watched Velshi on CNN business. He’s really come into his own
