#MSNBC #Republicans #Trump
He is only one man,he has the power he does because they gave it to him on bended knee. They had an opportunity after January 6th to walk away from him and set their sails on another course, gain some dignity and a moral compass and they chose not to. History will not treat them kindly.
Power is more important to the MAGAt Republican than doing what is right.
Haven't you get it. The GOP is Trump and vice versa. They're all in it together...3rd post 11:05
Strength in numbers! Republicans turn on Trump!. Hes a broken down old man! What more does Trump has to do to fall out of favour? More crimes? Maybe.
@@GordonRebel Exactly. That is why they are all in with Trump. If they establish a Dictatorship -- they will get complete and Total Power. No more sharing of Power with minorities and Dems. They will be able to establish complete White Power and FOREVER too. They won't have to worry about furute elections, becase there won't be any.
🇺🇲⌚️
Historically, the Republican Party has positioned itself as the party of “law and order,” emphasizing strong law enforcement, tough criminal justice policies, and respect for authority. Well, you can throw that one out the window! 4534.......................... VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙
Not really. Our current government was not elected by the people. The current government lacks the authority to impose law and order.
It was NEVER about Law and Order applied EQUALLY ! Get it? When the GOP bums claim and claimed to be the party of "LAW AND ORDER" (as if the Democrats aren't?) they meant it as - they will never let it apply to the wealthy, powerful, ELITE white males, CAPICHE? Who would , does it apply to then in their estimation? Exactly. It is and has never been about them being held accountable. THAT'S WHAT THEY MEAN AS TO THEIR "RULE OF LAW" BS!!
Troll alert. Someone who wants a dictator in office.@@user-zu5do6ri6r
@@user-zu5do6ri6r Yeah, right.
When they said "Law and Order" it was the counter point to their other talking point: that all crime was caused by non-whites.
2:14 They lost faith in the institution only because they put far more faith into a demonstrated charlatan. Their judgement is suspect as a result.
It's their pre JUDGE ment aka prejudice that fuels the hope they have for an all white society.
Good luck explaining that attitude to their "Blue Eyed Jesus" from the "Mediterranean"
Agreed
Yes ⚖️ on the Orange Turd 🦧🦨 he's a 🕳️ in one with a Red flag waving ⛳
Red ties are the modern versions of SS armbands.
YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR!
“Orange Muppet Hitler" -Robert Downey Jr.
And red hats. Losers following a wannabe Dictator and have no idea of what would follow. Look at Haiti 🤔🙏
The democratic should continually replay all the Republicans that called Trump a pathological liar and danger and should constantly replay Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell regarding Jan 6th
Use the words from the Republicans themselves
Agreed
Jan 6 was hijacked by feds. Congressman Higgins stated that his committees have the evidence of FBI involvement, before and during the Jan 6 event. It was a set-up, a trap laid. Then the fake news complex piles on with the "Attack on the Capitol' disinfo campaign. This is the level of evil that we face
It’s kind of what Biden commercials already do. Just show the way Trump speaks. It’s not working, because a certain subset of the population wants to see Dems world destroyed.
*Asking* people whether they *"accept" the juries' verdicts* is not helping.
I'm growing weary of all the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' *theories about Reality*
No kidding.
You have a right to your own opinion, but you don't have a right to your own set of facts. Republicans and Fox need to remember that.
Blame religion
“Childish” is the only word applicable. To Trump, the GOP, or the entire sordid mess politics have been for the last decade. Unfortunately it’s also horrible and far from over. Grit your teeth, folks, things are just getting interesting.
Unfortunately, you're right. We're in a mess that's getting worse.
@@sandraclarke3633 looks like the usa will need to find a bottom before any rebound. yikes.
Biden crapped his pants in Europe 😂😂
@@sandraclarke3633yes get oops I crapped my pants Joe out 😂😂
There are plenty of other negative names that are applicable to Trump. The list could be endless. Traitor comes to mind and will surely be the most dangerous for America.
You know when you are trying get through a long check-out line with your bawling toddler and they keep screaming _"MINE! MINE! MINE!"_ about the things they want to take with them? That's what the next few months are going to be like with Republicans.
That's what it's been like since 2016 with the Republicans coddling Trump. I expect Trump's next outburst will be "I hate you! You're not my real congress!"
The sooner he is removed from the public stage the better for everyone and jail is the way to do it.
Agreed
AMEN
Very soon (not soon enough) the grass will grow over him and the world will be a better, safer and happier place.
@@dewardroy6531 Fingers crossed.🤞
And then , Pooh tin
Cowardly subordinates Jan 6 reunion
Agreed
another chance to conspire, actually.
Why did jo-jo head butt the pope?
Corn Pop flashback, maybe?
So much for the rule of law
21 days until sentencing! ☝️
"I love the poorly educated!" Trump. "I don't care about you. I just want your votes!" Trump. Trump's only interests has always been Trump.
"Donald Trump had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill. He DIDN'T. He had 4 years to
'repeal and replace Obamacare.' He DIDN'T. He had 4 years to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
He DIDN'T and they DIDN'T. He had 4 years to lower middle class taxes, bring back the coal industry, eliminate the deficit, lower prescription drug prices, revive American manufacturing, protect people with preexisting conditions, end the opioid crisis, drain the swamp and 'lock up Hillary Clinton.' HE DIDN'T DO ANY OF IT!
So, how the heck could anyone be dumb enough to support him!!
I'm a little bit confused. When he talks about losers, does he mean his voters, or the armed forces?
trump gets his orders from Russia. Why do you think Jared Kushner was setting up that "Secret back channel"? You can try to convince yourself otherwise, but the evidence ALWAYS goes back to Putin. Within that structure he lets him do what he wants.
@@andrewstevenson118 he means Biden
😂 I thought only the 3rd world countries hv uneducated people. Gosh 😅 There are just as many uneducated in USA too.
Unbelievable,
Baby on an airplane is a good analogy!
Yes 👏🏾
Sure is
Misbehaving puppy. WTH is Lauren boebert when she’s needed?
When a dictator tells you that he is a dictator, believe him. On day one after, the failed insurrection.
Exactly
Exactly, if any "Leader" says "only I can do it" or makes any progress for that group of people be all about them that is the worst type of leader. Really isn't a leader at all if the "followers" would just take a break from drinking the Kool-Aid they would see it.
“I hate having to take showers with daddy”, Ashley Biden’s diary pg. 11. Google Ashley Biden’s diary. I dare you!
@@herballycorrectwow, Ashley should sue him. Seems like a slam dunk!
Or not. Instead she sued the people who stole her diary and made a statement the people were taking what she had written wholly out of context.
Democrats cheated the 2020 election. It's been proven in court over 1000 times.
That's insulting to actual babies
Agreed
Well, no. Babies are pretty miserable excuses for human beings. As is Trump. The difference is that most babies grow out of it.
😂😂😂😂😮😮
babies will likely learn as they grow up, as well.
What like big crack pipe daddy whining Hunter? A 54 year old baby. Please.
Is it me wishful thinking or is he looking really ruff the last couple weeks...like added 10 years...
Who knew that Trump's parents meeting each other could spawn such a nefarious threat to our country and the world. Talk about an unfortunate event in history.
Who knew all those Antichrist films would be so off base
Or that reality would be so much more grotesque and horrifying
It IS an interesting psychological study of the end product of a lifetime of no accountability, via inherited wealth and influence.
Or, I should say, it WOULD be an interesting study, if we had time...
...but at present, the monster is still out rampaging the village.
So we gotta do something about THAT first.
An overwhelming argument in favor of abortion!
DONALD J TRUMP IS NO SAVIOUR.
He is the opposite of a Savior, for sure. I think he is a loser and a sucker. He sucks as a president and at being a human.
Agreed. Neither is Biden. Both parties have been colluding together for years on behalf of the elite.
Trump 2024
"Trump is a destroyer" Tucker Carlson to a Fox colleague, as revealed during the Dominion lawsuit.
@@cliffordlesley7746 Move to Moscow. And not the one in Idaho either.
Why is he still wasting our precious oxygen?
In the case of a child on the plane you distract it with a ‘shiny object’ or similar. In the case of Trump you surround him with a circle of cringing Republicans who praise his genius and his charm.
Hes a dangerous toddler having a tantrum. Problem is his henchmen will do crazy insane things on his command....just look at J6
Agreed
J6th? That time Americans allowed an unelected president to take office?
Rush an propaganda targeted at Republican Congressmen, Senators, and Fox news who bought into it. D.T. knew all along what Vla dee was up to and perpetrated it and lies.
He, D.T. I believe was completely compromised by Vla dee! Remember the 6 hour private meeting 😳 Itsy the piece of the puzzle that fits. Once D.T. is in Jail he will maybe write a book about it! 🔮
He is a three year old! Why are they on their knees???? If they maned up together, it would be over!! Mitch is crawling in his wobbly knees, and Lindsey has lots of time on those knobs over the years. Now he needs a pillow. But the position is still just right.
There's a lot of angry rednecks that sent 1& 5$ at a time to these guys .....they're scared
they are bad parents.
@@davidcleveland-yv6my , Bahahaha! Spare the rod, spoil the child!
Trump still got nominated by all the wanna-be secessionists that vote in the primaries. They are all scared of the base. Even Trump a little bit.
@@Sushi2735 cannot control the brat.
I wonder if his supporters would still vote for him if he woke up tomorrow and decided to leave the Republican Party and join the Democrats.
He went to them because he knew they hated 8 years of the BEST president ever.
They would just say that they were always Democrats and anyone saying otherwise is fake news.
A crying baby on an airplane is the best analogy ever. 👏👏👏💯🎯
Yeah but they want to let the baby fly the plane.
Snakes on a plane.
ROE ROE ROE YOUR VOTE!
Unite now to save tomorrow
YES! :)
Uncertainty foments anxiety. "What is going to happen? Oh, please Mr. Strongman, can you make it all simple and reassuring for us? Say something strong and declarative and DEFINITE! Oh, please, Mr. Strongman, save us from having to wonder what it all means! Preach, Mr. Strongman!"
What is scary is that many of his supporters don't actually believe he will do what he says... that is just saying it, but ultimately he will play fair. And they also say they would be upset if he actually did it. It is so delusional and they will find out.
Polls be damned. Always wrong. He’s going to lose big.
I think so too. 34 felonies matter to most of us.
I agree. Trump needs to GO! 🤨
"Like a baby on a plane!" Love this analogy! 😂
one viscious man baby holding a once great nation hostage
Parents on an airplane with a crying child … with a full diaper.
It is distressing, and every news outlet needs to be screaming your message every day!
The Emperor has no clothes.
Son of a banshee was always nekkid!
Trump for prison 11 July.
THAT IS THE ANSWER. "Unprecedented" be damned. Lock him up, already!
I think the only thing that will shut Trump up is a shock collar.
👍👍
Coffin
Reason is the product of thought. If we are not governed by thought we shall be governed by ignorance, and ignorance means injustice and suffering.
There wasn't very much work being done anyway. Now Rep can say we aren't working because of Dems
Don't believe everything you see on TV, bud. While the Reds clown around everybody else is trying to ensure a better future for this country and that starts with you to.
Looking at this whole DJT situation from the EU we realize and see what’s happening. It’s so flagrant, but everybody’s numbed by the fact it’s just another thing he says. This is a danger to national security no ?
YES. ABSOLUTELY.
Wow this needs more views
$80 for a quickie $120 for a whole half an hour but the memories last forever...... 😮
What a weak mentality. "I gotta do what he says or he'll yell at me!" How can people not see this is empty, childish, and pointless?
Bring Psychologists panel up to explain what Narcissists do with flying Monkeys and explain "enablers" and gaslighting and lies to We The People
Baby on a plane. Best description of Trump ever.
What would be the consequences of voting for Trump? The voters have no idea.
VOTE BLUE. Do away with these traitors.
No, see this is exactly the problem. He was lying before and now he doesn't see a need to lie in that way anymore because people don't speak plainly about what he's doing, just call it lying. That's what people are waiting on. People in the media keep leaving him room for plausible deniability. Just say what you see, he's lying about everything
Your guest understates the situation
BoneyToe Wussolini has told the tale of "The Scorpion and the Frog" so many times that Republicans can't possibly claim that his backstabbing came out of the blue.
As a progressive non-American, the mindset of many progressives i see on here just blows my mind. One example is the guest who says “we are seeing a systemised attack on the role of law / this is really scary / he’s running as a straight up authoritarian / people aren’t turned in”, but also says “I try not to use the word panic, because it makes my parents super scared”.
If you are fighting to retain democracy, there is a reason to be scared. You NEED people to be scared, else you will see apathy and low turnout.
love the child on a plane analogy Nothing is really going to make this maniac calm and happy, so used to getting his way...wahhhh, c'mon get busy with your real job...
They gave him MOLLY??
~ great idea... 😒
He'll be drug tested regularly while on probation.
Long after everyone now breathing is gone, people will shake their heads in amazement that Donald Trump ever got near the White House. Sheer amazement.
I believe in our system! I will not give up or give in! I can't wait for these rubber room republicans try to say they're sorry & think they will be welcomed back into society!?!?!?
Vote BLUE for BIDEN and HUMAN DECENCY in 2024!! 😊💙💙💙💙
These people are Sadists🙄.
"Government cant do anything right, put us in charge of it and we'll show you what we mean!"
--GOP
Republicans working to defend 45 and not working on any policy to benefit Americans.
Vote blue!
Yes, cowards one and all, sold every bit of integrity for an authoritarian crybaby
There's a reason I've called him things like a spoiled brat or the tangerine toddler.
Biden campaign doesn’t need to run against Trump & Republicans. Trump is doing a great job of that himself!
MOLLIFY TRUMP -- A wise career choice... for those who want job security!
Then why are you losing every election?😂
I just got a nasty message texted by the GOP telling me I've been ignoring requests to resign with the republican party (which I've never been 😂)in the text it says they stand to lose control of the house because of people like me...😂...sounds alittle desperate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 alittle unsure...😂
trump, trump, trump, trump....Every day. Just go away. I am so tired about hearing that name all day. It is nauseating.
Yep, I'm right there with you on that. There are more great people and things happening in America to hear and talk about.🤔👍💙🇺🇲
Height of intelligence 😢😢😢😢
Normalized…don’t get complacent. Don’t let it happen.
Imagine if Obama had done 1/10th of what this guy has done?
Lower Prices. World Peace. TRUMP 2024 🎈🎈🎈🎈
That's a funny comparison but chump is NOT a baby he just plays one in real life. If the R's had any spine they could disown him. So not like a parent of a crying baby at all
I've changed hundreds of diapers. As a model at T Management (Trump Models), I met Trump many times: he frequently had the smell of poopy pants.
MADNESS
*"I don't care about you."* "I only want your vote." DJT 06-09-24. When someone tells you who they are, *BELIEVE THEM.*
Like a screaming baby on a plane whose diapers need changing. and whose parents are not on board.
Swamp monster on a plane
They're welcoming the devil with black hearts, open arms and weak minds. This won't age well.
John Mcain, character matters. It is a state of moral decay when you can be a pathological, compulsive liar and be elected president.
Sad to see the Republicans can not, do not stand up to a thug!
Trump is the swamp monster.
Daily reminder FDJT
Like the drunk uncle grabing his niece by the.. yikes 😬😳
If Trump was black from Kenya. He'll be on the streets 7 yrs. ago and homeless.😮
They would have absolutely ended his life by now and not only given reasons it was okay, they'd have long moved on from it. Remember the hanging Obama effigies?
We all have enabled this bad group. Politicians especially and news medias!!!
The best thing you can do for yourself and others is to stay away from the news. It is fear based. All designed to scare you. Yes, things are all in a mess. However, what can you do other than vote the people in that can help. Take a break and walk away. Protect yourself from all of this fear.
You think this is bad? Wait till you find out why everybody REALLY wants to do that.......
Trump: "WAAAAAAAH"
The baby on a plane is literally the best metaphor! He's a petulant child pouting like a 9yr old girl while stomping his feet like a 4yr old spoiled boy...
'Like a baby on a plane' is a brilliant analogy.
5:55 What is going on in ARIZONA with all the "deportation" of RESIDENTS of the state, is that a rumor or what??? Sounds weird.
He's Billy Mummy in that old Twilight Zone episode
so much he was as a "business person" - I bet he is so happy he entered politics that he is the most powerful person in the USA - he commanded more people than anyone in the USA.
not cantankerous......INSANE
"Everything Is Awesome!"
Great song!!!~ To bad fearmongers don't believe so.
OK! There so many of us Americans who are not and never will find all this normal! Just exactly which Americans are you referring to when you say this nightmare is being normalized?
Desperation, tsk, tsk
More like snakes on a plane.
Spare the rod, spoil the child
At this point, he needs more than a rod. He needs real JAIL time
@@TruthMatters1202he needs a lot more than that. A *lot* more.
Slow-walking the obvious end of this, is how it's become this awful. And no, I am not a violence-hungry person; far from it. I'm a long time pacifist. One who knows that bad people will continue to take advantage of pacifism unless you do something substantial.
I pledge allegiance to Queen Fragg and her mighty state of hysteria...
As a transwoman I find it deeply frightening
Like a baby?!?!?! Babies are cute and sweet; this is p.o.s with corn in it!!!!
Found him guilty but he’ll never serve a day in jail, still Teflon Don.
That's an insult to babies on a plane.
Its a Cult
Uh, yeah, we know.
