#MSNBC #WhitePrivilege #VotingRights
Terrific exciting guest. Please have her back. Well spoken! Loved her energy. It is contagious!
Joyce Alene White Vance is an American lawyer who served as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama from 2009 to 2017. She was one of the first five U.S. Attorneys, and the first female U.S. Attorney, nominated by President Barack Obama.
EXCELLENT Joyce Vance !
EXCELLENT Senator Klobuchar
Every American citizen has the right to vote.
@visionaire wear Why do losers always call foul? It’s pathetic.
@Freedom Life every legal American citizen not illegals bring your ID if you want to vote end of story are you okay with that
@Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov Only in Chicago: “Vote early and vote often!” (compliments to the original Mayor Daily)
Yes, would you like us to bring the ballot to you in bed? Would that make it better? What kind of voter rights are being suppressed? Please don’t say “no water & food” in line🙄. Which is “a big lie”
@Torey neely To begin with voting should be easy. It shouldn’t take 6 hrs waiting in a long line. Every state should adopt vote by mail. Just watch this video over again.
“hey Hun don’t forget to grab out hoods from the drycleaners in the way home” – republicans voicemail
Wife , ” Silly goose , we traded those hoods for Red MAGA Caps !!”
@Liberal in Oklahoma “we just put our hats over the hoods” – Alabama republicans
😳😂😂😂😂😭💀
‘Dont forget your badge cam.”
Standing ovation Amy!
The fact that they were stopped should have no baring on their senstences.
@peremptory expression 👍👍👍👍👍👍
*bearing
“Bearing” you mean.
@David Hale – wrong, wrong, most BLM rioters have arrested and charged if they caused physical harm or damage to property. Look it up, do not assume.
@David Hale **are you on drugs??**
Until Criminal trump is thrown in prison America cannot heal
Firmly agree with you.
You said it !!!
@Loretta Keesee LOL SURE
@Loretta Keesee what did he do wrong that he needs to be in prison can you tell me I’ll wait for your answer
Don’t bother enumerating the reasons. Some people hear only what they want to hear.
If Trump walks away unscathed after all the insurrection court hearings, what is justice then about?
Last month Biden stated an insurrection requires nukes and F15s.
@Steve Madrid He did? Can you provide a link to this please?
@Eric B Biden said it last month check it out yourself.
At this point, I can’t imagine that happening. They said the other “Teflon Dons” were untouchable too, but Gotti and Capone both died old men in prison, for doing much less than what drump’s done.
And he’s his own worst enemy, it’s almost like they’re giving him the proverbial rope by allowing him to become increasingly unhinged and run his mouth. His latest rant about kavanot and all those “best people” he slammed, was hilarious. They all deserve each other and they all need to go to jail. Impeach that boofing weasel, too.
@Eric B Just look up “Biden said nukes and F15s.” He was talking about gun control.
And how much help and money did they get from the republicans in OUR government!!!!
What “they” got was Lyndsey Graham live on national TV:
“it’s over! Make it stop (crying. snivel snivel) Mommy!!!” -Lyndsey Graham 1/6/2021
For all these election “security” laws being passed there are none designed to reduce the time in line.
I agree. It seems like there should be laws about how many voting machines should be available for every thousand voters who are registered in a particular area. I’ve never spent more than an hour voting in person.
Trumpers always yelling their freedom of speech BUT where is these peaceful protesters freedom of speech?
they are very lost and confused, which leads to them being even more angry and violent. The only solution is to respond with persistent facts and reminding them that our country comes first while politicians come and go.
@Kamila Agi-Mejias … Very well said 👍
Ask Georgia ministers to bless the water by the truckload before giving it to people in line. Let the police TRY to arrest ministers handing out holy water.
Now that can happen…. if you’re a gifting evangelist.
@Martha Shandley Of course you mean grifting evangelist and not gifting! The average evangelist no longer has any empathy with anyone else.
What a great idea. 🙂
**I will never vote for anyone,, who is the member of this, Republican party
Good idea. Go for it!!
This crucial matter should be uppermost in EVERYONES mind.
Rian Draegon, SHOULD be but ISN’T, and that’s exactly how they want it to be.
**100 million eligible voters in America,,, don’t vote!!! It’s all of my jobs,, to help them get registered and help them VOTE…**
@Jeanne Myers I hear you. Let’s make it a pledge to spread it around and keep it in the front of any political discourse, Jeanne.
@John Edward Yes sir, it is.
Trump’s coup denial reminds me of a child at a playground:
Child: “May I play with you guys?”
Response: “No.”
Child: “I did not want to play anyway.”
GOP knows the writing is on the wall , and their days are numbered , dirty pool is their middle name ,
Hopefully, but we must be vigilant. Protest voter suppression. Elect Democrats at the local and state level.
**. Talk to our friends and family and neighbors and coworkers,,,, and see if we can help them,,, GET REGISTERED AND VOTE!!! 100 million eligible voters don’t vote!!!! That’s pathetic… That’s how Republicans win!!! And we can do something about that….**
They are Banana Republican cultists now!
I’m glad somebody brave enuf to stand up for civil rights on Texas because when I was there for med school I was shocked coming from a mixture city like Sacramento, the Texans were like Archie bunker State
I live here. You’re right!
Trump is a “bad seed” cultivator. His crop is thriving. Let’s hope it doesn’t spread like kudzu in the South.
Kudzu is a very useful plant…
@Alasdair Blackmore More like putrid orange gutter slime.
The US health department states Trump derangement is a true mental illness if you hate one person that much truly get some help
Too late already happened.
@Joboo Luvs On the other hand, if the POTUS incited an insurrection against the USA Govt, instigated a lie that an election was ‘stolen’ and downplayed a pandemic leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, hating him would be a rational thing to do.
I can’t believe people have to go through this … those people have heart.
**they are the real Patriots!!! Stacey Abrams is a hero,, in my book!!!†**
Fed voting laws are needed, now!!!
I am so sorry for not giving more likes! It is the trademark of a real democracy. And don’t forget to get rid of the electoral college. Every vote should be equal. The states get their share through the senators.
Why? So you can cheat again?
@Torey neely **seems like every time someone gets caught cheating, it’s a Republican!!!! I think you’re projecting again!!! Voter fraud,, is exceedingly rare… And one vote one way or another,,, isn’t changing an election….**
I have five (5) people in my family who I know didn’t vote my goal is to make sure they are registered and that they vote 🇺🇸
very admirable of you – I think that everyone should make it his/her goal to make at least one person to register and vote, just to make democracy work
**. THAT’S WHAT PATRIOTS DO…**I’M DOING THE SAME THING WITH MY NEIGHBORS!!! 100 MILLION AMERICANS DON’T VOTE..**
Black women are some of the smartest, strongest, and most empathetic people in our country! 🧠💪🏿👠💜🇺🇸
