Country In Partisan Stalemate Over Impeachment | Morning Joe | MSNBC
No amount of “hope” is going to undo the damage that has been caused to the country, it’s reputation and the future.
@Joseph Whisnant How exactly is he “cleaning up corruption”? Give an example.
@Bill Fauber I agree and just like Dems did Trump will not be removed
@Respect/Walk Removing trump was not the main objective, everyone knew from the beginning Moscow Mitch would not allow an honest Senate trial, therefore the objective was to document the crimes. The biggest difference here is Clinton had an honest trial whereas Trump owns the Senate and DOJ literally and they’re as corrupt so an honest trial is not possible in Trumps case.
@Respect/Walk everyone makes mistakes including presidents. But Trump is lying and at the same time giving America the finger. What he is doing now is only the tip of the iceberg. He has so much to hide and you poor souls don’t see it or simply trying to ignore it. It goes so deep most people can’t imagine. I feel sorry for the children and grands of the future. Anyway we know the Lord Jesus Christ will be back soon.
The country has always been divided, the only difference is that now the divisions are being exposed to the light. “…the axe is being laid at the root of the tree..” (Matthew 3:10)
49% of Americans want Trump to be thrown out, why not 49% of repubs?

mildred gomez pretty hypocritical comment from someone named “Gomez” don’t you think?
Money – Trump panders to their greed, lusts.
@Thomas Armsworthy Jr You’re ignorant
The only coup in play here is the GOP one.
As they’re fully intending to turn the US into a dictatorship ruled by them and using the Trumps as “Puppet-kings” to keep the Cult in check and it as “enforcers” to curb the rest of America that is against them.
They are doing this right now, in this very moment.
They need to be stopped immediately.
@Trumpocalypse he was getting dirt on Biden .just like Hillary went to Russia to get dirt on him
Hang the orange traitor, and his treasonous followers
The vote still is the most important thing. Be ready to redo your voting rights and cards etc. Dont forget to check your registration so your signature matches.
GREED FOR MONEY- ALL IN TRUMPS ORBIT ARE LIKE TRYING TO FILL THE BLACK HOLE IN SPACE.
ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH TILL THEY DIE.
@GeoMisfit BULLSEYE! You nailed it Misfit!
When 527 protest all over the country, today, will take place in favor of impeachment and removal tells the truth how the country feels about this illegitimate president.
fight, fight, fight
The real PROBLEM is not Trump, Obama, Biden, Hillary, Pence, or any of them! That’s because its all of them! Lol The real PROBLEM is money, power, criminal behavior and ego! And no Accountability or responsibility for anything they do?
@Zjawiska Przyrodnicze Good One!!! I like it…
Rory Cannon nice links, lots of interesting reading there. But, sadly for these trumpists, facts never really enter into the equation
Hardly, we have the same or more support for impeachment than nixon or clinton did. What a weird narrative
34% of American have been evil since Joe McCarthy.
Seriously tho..Hmmm IMPEACH for an affair? Or IMPEACH for National Security of our COUNTRY!!!!
The Republithugs are the onslaught of Fascism.
If DJT has nothing to hide why the Republithugs preventing the testimony of witnesses.?
Frederick Bullard wow a democrat calling a republican a fascist talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
@Dale Boxsell Bring back decency and legality – blue and red do not matter
It’s completely disingenuous of Republicans who called for a “fair and open trial” when it was in preliminary fact-finding mode (i.e. not a trial). But now that there will be an actual trial in the Senate, they don’t want to put all the facts on the table, like they were clamoring for just last month. Sorry Republicans, but Trump is clearly hiding his guilt with such a bad faith argument, and you’re going along for the cognitive dissonance ride.
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which *cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government,* destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
― George Washington
Real Talk76 The GOP has really fallen into the category described by George Washington.
@Cinnamon Crunck Yessirr, the founders tried to warn us…“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
― James Madison
Perfect
@Sam Houghton Trump, Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham are the poster children for that quote from George Washington! But the entire GOP supports voter suppression so we are on the precipice of EVERYTHING the founders tried to guard against.
Absolutely. Happening right now.
The audacity of Republican Fascism, just fulfill Putin’s wishes, a show trial without witnesses!!
Facism? Not hardly. Trump is no pal of Putin. Trump armed Ukraine while
Obama did ZERO to prevent Soviet aggression.
@wandering spirit Trump already invited Russians to the white house are you kidding,I’m surprised he hasn’t invited Putin yet.
All of you are completely ignorant to what is really happening.
@bax 60 ???? So Enlighten us with your ingenuity and wisdom,or do you just yell out ignorant and that is supposed to be an enlightened explanation?
@Jim Battersbee The country has been divided before, and survived.
GOP is a joke.
Get more queens. Break the stalmate.
Your a joke. Enjoy your Democrate plantation.
@yvelaine you’re exactly right.
A very Despicable joke ! …………….
There is no GOP. They are now the Party Of Trump. (POT) As in a pot-bellied army of toadies doing their Orange Overlord’s bidding.
*Trumpty Dumpty Need To Go*
Real Patriot yeah into a second term.
Did you think of that all by yourself?
Vote …. attend an impeachment rally ..
It’s the only say we get in this process, use it !
The ReDumplicans are making it impossible for many to vote. That is important.
America has a 40% sleaze factor. 🇺🇸💩🇺🇸
Justice Boofer they all belong to Drumpf!
Joe, Mika, and Guests,
Quit acting like 50% of Dems are = to 50% of Republicans! The Republicans are only about 39% of the country.
I think the most recent studies showed 31% Democrat, 24% Republican, and 42% Independent.
How can any decent person support Trump.
The correct numbers are: Republicans are 24%, Democrats are 33%, and Independents are 43%… meaning that the Republicans are outnumbered by more than 3-to-1 in America.
@Tessmage Tessera Thank you for giving us the facts. To me, they matter.
Who cares about polling results, or facts? Your democracy is slowly dying of a cancer called GOP!! Sad!
now that the truth is out you say who cares. You sound like Hillary.
The USA is ranked only 25th in world democracy rankings. We in the other 24 don’t care, we laugh.
@B Dahl
It was Mrs Trump wore the “I don’t care” coat.
More of a reason to not have the electoral college
Bob Smith The electoral college was instituted as a compromise to make sure that slavers and landowners would not be drowned out by larger, poorer populations. It was not based on anything fair and square.
@Pontus Ekholm and because the founding fathers thought that the public wasn’t smart enough to elect their leader
@Bob Smith that’s exactly what the college does, is change the rules.
Rory Cannon Yes, which is not surprising. They were aristocrats and slave owners, it took a long time for the political establishment to change their view on whether or not African Americans, women and LGBT people should be treated like humans too. Thank God the founders made the Constitution amendable and wrote their reasoning behind their choices, that way we can have intelligent discussions about the opinions of these wise but fallible humans and realize what makes sense and what doesn’t.
Founding a country on the basis of ”We the people” and reconciling that with the EC which gives more political power to just 22% of the population right now was just ridiculous.
@Pontus Ekholm even more ironic is that in the original electoral college, the people didnt even had a vote. the electorals made up their own minds
Does the President has the courage to investigate His own family?
If they were dirty we would know, don’t forget it’s been going on for 3 years
@B Dahl been going on all their lives. They know no other way of life.
Moscow Mitch is the real traitor in this equation.
Can we FINALLY start talking about the real problem: FOX “News?”
“48% of AMerricans think that… ” No, they don’t think, they’ve been TOLD, by the rt-wing propoganda machine. We all know this, yet you guys keep discussing polls as if Americans are basing their decisions on facts. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE, or things will never change. Trump is not the problem. He’s just a symptom.
Thank God you like FOX News to.
He is feeding the symptom.
Fox News should be required to register as a foreign agent or better yet shut down completely. Rupert Murdoch is not an American, Fox News is propaganda that makes RT look fair and balanced and we shouldn’t have to allow foreign press use our airwaves to manipulate our elections and our people…and Trump lol. We are allowing foreign agents to dismantle our democracy and turn us into an racist outlaw oligarchy like Russia is by lying to their viewers.
My god Photonray I think Aliens are also involved.” Lions and tigers and bears”
@Walter Holzer too.
Putin likes to go shopping when democracies are on sale.
Yes, although sometimes Putin will pay retail. Drumpf is a disgraceful traitor.
The Democratic lead House of Representatives is called “The Democrats” while the republican led senate is called “The Senate”. Why is that? 🤔
