Jon Meacham: Adam Schiff & Nancy Pelosi Are Progressive ‘Guardians’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Adam Schiff is the anti Trump. He is thoughtful, intelligent and a patriot in the truest sense of the word. What a wonderful orator. Trump has none of those qualities. Whatever qualities Trump does have are all negative.
Nancy just pounded the final nail in the democrats coffin. All that remains is for the funeral internment to complete the process. Well done Nancy.
And hates the law. Truth and. USA
James Dunn
Adam Schiff is anti God that is what he is!
TRUMPET, orange weed hair is scum, the lowest man ever walked this earth.
What was that? The SOTU or a fkn Trump rally?
Guess who wins in 2020.? Yeah him, the guy who is in the WH right now. Uh oh.
A trump rally
Go go trump 2020 happy happy
You must be new to the SOTU..
2020 ballot:
-The Constitution
– the fart of a deal
Trump is a lot like breaking wind. They can quietly make you gag at first wiff.
@Troy Stocker The democrats are the ones standing up for Capitalism, it’s Donald Trump who has to give away 14 billion dollars to American farmers because they couldn’t sell their grain. And it’s Trump who gave 400 billion dollars a year to his billionaire friends, now that’s some serious welfare! 400 B government handout! You don’t know what you’re talking about, fool!
Elevated intelligence on full display.
cajuncoco… 👏
💯 Mr. Schiff did his job and now it’s up to us to put him and colleagues in the WH….so they can put the ‘Orangutans’ where they belong, JAILHOUSE 😈😈😈
@Tony Bell Trump pounded the final nail when he shredded the Constitution. “I can do anything I want! I’m above the law!”
@Tim Countis as sick as it sounds the truth hurts
@cajuncoco , you mean elevated parasitic subversiveness. that’s what schiff, nadler, schumer, and their ilk that happen to be the bosses of the mainstream media corporations that have profited greatly from trump’s presidency and continue to promote all these fake crimes, fake controversies , fake investigations, fake impeachment hearings masquerading as 2020 presidential attacks against trump. and they dont even have to pay for it. they let the tax payer foot the bill.
Thank you Nancy and Adam keep fighting👍🙏 ✝
D Kahn Blasphemy
The WHISTLEBLOWER E.C. is dating Adam Schiff’s daughter Alexa.
Now you know why SATANIC Schiff has gone to a great extent to protect the IDENTITY of the FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER, even though we all know it’s E C. his future son in law.
This gives new meaning to “KEEPING IT ALL IN THE FAMILY.!”
@D Kahn 😈👿👹l could not find a pitchfork for the Republicans senators
IT takes a murderous person to support a murderous Dems. by aborting innocent babies
Well spoken, was waiting on someone to call this out for what it is.
Very accurate he won my heart ❤️
Haaahhhahhoooohhee.
No wonder judging by your name
Jim Rice and I can see the hyenas’ ( the hermaphroditic self- eating devourer of the dead )
I think history is going to judge them pretty soon, if Lev has receipts.
@Kevin NYC as long as you mean “do what you are told for 5 years”
@hugh mongasass not what I mean. you people arent the best and brightest.
They could have questioned Lev at any time. Dont be such a sucker.
@Chou Lo people all over the world love Donald Trump
I love Jon Meacham. He is a wonderful historian with a gift of articulating the history being made today. I thank him for his sanity as well as Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi…and Nadler and all the rest who stand up for Decency, Truth, Justice and our Constitution.
@Mike C. Look it up, he is over 2,000 lies. Most of us like presidents who do not lie to us.
@Susan Runyan We could sure use a lot of better angels in America while the occupiers/racists destroy democracy.
@Alan Grigo That is really funny. Your guy has over 2,000 lies now. You have no business calling anyone a liar and putting God in the same sentence. Would you not be considered a heretic in your religion?
@Sonia Is it only about money. What about ethics and our Constitution and Rule of Law. Capitalism has swung way too far when one party does’n’t give a _____ about the country and democracy.
I’m not a progressive and I think they are protecting all of us. They are clawing, fighting tooth and nail, to keep democracy in the US. I didn’t have anything good to say about either into 2019 but I have changed my tune.
@Gym Jordan’s Hairline
Yes your upcoming loss. You know when your leader Trump AND the Republicans buy that dust bin we call history.🤣
As far as my spelling? Boo hoo you got the point of what was stated so no matter. Go call a spelling cop!!
@Arthur Anderson – “MY” upcoming loss… Wow, you make me feel so important… even if you’re just the garden variety partisan moron who thinks(?) that I’m a Trumpist just because I criticize his partisanship Cool Aid for the sham that is. Be careful with that brain, son, you can get hurt.
Loss is only temporary, maybe a blessing in disguise. Trump will b punished accordingly for all the wrong done to this country.He can fool 1 or 2 at the same time but he can’t fool everybody all at the same time. He maybe a university graduate that think, act & behave like an animal. Better my dog compare to him. He maybe an animal but act, behave like a decent human with love.
The Nazis thought they were in the right and history remembers them for what they were and so to will history remember these cowardice republicans. They think they’re in the right and our children will team in history books 30 years from now and say “what the f*** was wrong with these people?”
Republicans stand against a flawed and weak articles of impeachment and democrats scream, because their not use to strong opposition.
@Steve Folkes We are only a few steps behind. Sad as it is.
Show where you spent american taxes money show your same tax return
Tim Scott didnt even want to stand up.
Thank you John for your historical knowledge that always gives such calm reassurance that we are not crazy for believing that what we are “hearing,reading and seeing” IS what is really happening !
You need to watch fox news
The good news is that we are witnessing the Democrat party become extinct. Yay!
☝🏼lol
“What use is honesty to an insane mind.”Colin Wilson
THANK YOU, Mitt! U Roc! Otherwise, the GOP (Goons of Putin) are “GUILTY!” right along with Donny Fat Lips, Putin’s water boy. Thank goodness we have a blue wave coming on shore!
Progressivism is evil
@wandering spirit Orange man bad.
some benevolent space alien overlord would be preferable to this evil clown president .
@christian janssen i really dont understand what is so bad about Trump. its an obsession with you guys. whatever Republicans may have said about Obama, you guys have gone 1000x beyond. you will never be able to claim the high road again. and all for what? i really dont get it.
@Kevin NYC like…. working for putin?thats not enough? lying constantly? beiing a fraudster and conman his entire carriere? deniing climatechange!!!!! do i have to go on?
here i thought this is satire
this neanderthal is for real
When the story of this impeachment is told, it will be Adam Schiff and his team who will emerge as true patriots. They deserve our thanks and congratulations. So too does Mitt Romney. The so called ‘victors’ will be remembered as venal individuals, prepared to ditch any morality they might have had and prepared to break any oath they may have taken to retain power.
how solemn hahahaha
i love adam schiff!
