Ocasio-Cortez: Congress Abdicating Responsibility While People Die | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Vietnam War 50 00 US Dead in 10 years. New York 43 000 US Dead in 5 weeks. .
@Maria Tarin With all due respect, your stance is one that I can’t stomach. You can’t distinguish between people protesting the war with people protesting the soldiers and that is just not right. It’s not an either or situation. If the protest had not gotten so great back then to stop the war, who knows how many more young men would have died for a cause that we had no business being involved in. Some soldiers did have idiots who spit at them and stuff, but they were isolated cases and did not reflect the masses who protested this war in the effort to get us out of there.
hela6208 google shows 12,000 deaths in New York… typical liberals not having their facts straight!
Wondering we found the cure for diabetes, heart attack, cancer cause lately those numbers are 0
@Emeraldforest There is no comparison between the conservative or liberal of the Vietnam era and today. The pendulum has swung.
*REGULAR FLU* dead = 80k last year
*So what the Fk is your point*
.
Testing
Testing
Contact tracing
Then let the doctors tell us what the timeline is.
Your right on. The doctors say with the upcoming flu season and the corona at the same time,, we will need to keep the world closed until next summer
at the earliest. We should have the testing and tracing well underway by then. To trace everyone in the world before we open back up could take several
years but that will come with the new National I.D. for travel.
Doctors worry about medical issues, not economic ones. There has to be a balance.
I’m sure at some point in your life you had a doctor recommend that you to get a test done that you couldn’t afford or take time off work that you couldn’t afford to take off, it’s the same thing just on a national level.
I do agree with the testing and the contact racing, but decision on how to run the country cannot be left solely to doctors is what I’m saying.
@David Turner obviously you didn’t lose your job or have your business closed.. easy to have your view when you not affected.
@David Turner FU Loser!
The solution is testing, contact tracing, and isolate the sick from well.
Shawna Weesner you should read the constitution some day.
You want to be like china. They are using scare tactics
Watch china in focus youtube
Let them contact trace you. Look it up sweetie.
Yeah but first they gotta finish the money grab. One bank CEO already got a 20% raise because of taxpayer money pouring in
Here Here AOC
DaMon Turnbull stay away from children

@Dave Schultz hopefully she was admitting her self in a nut house
AOC – if you only had a brain…..
“Here here”, shows your intelligence, and how someone like this is on office, truly pathetic that you can be fooled by a liar this.
The irony is that Trump, the alleged hotel magnate, hasn’t done any thing like Governor Newsome has done with one of the largest hotel chains and food suppliers in America to provide shelter in place for the homeless.
@sandra cassoWOW you have a serious case of TDS. You sound like CNN / MSNBC blotter. There is no proof of anything you claim to be facts probably because they are all BS.
Why dont you leftest try coming together and supporting your country in a time of crisis instead of looking for reasons to screech about the president. There will be plenty of time for politics later.
And what have you done besides virtue signal? Yeah, that’s what I figured.
@The Alpengeist Yes they do, they always do. Even despite the fact that Maddow’s own attorney told a court that what she says should not be taken as fact while she was being sued.
@Strait Outta Wuhan He never divested himself from his businesses. He is the first president in 40 years who deliberately avoided removing conflicts of interest, so that he could personally profit off of policy decisions.
@Strait Outta Wuhan Eric personally defended himself against the accusations that he was siphoning off millions of dollars originally donated to cancer kids by saying that he earned it as an operating expense like a lot of charities have.
All of these things require zero trust in the media to confirm.
Check his twitter. Public records are available for the NY lawsuit filed by the attorney general of NY. In light of the lawsuit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation agreed to dissolve in Dec. 2018.
Btw, the reason Eric’s excuse is BS is because charities have operating costs (Ex. building houses requires buying lumber). Eric did nothing to incur expenses except possibly gas money delivering the checks to the charity.
QUOTE: “Why dont you leftest try coming together and supporting your country”
Supporting your country doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to people exploiting or sabotaging the country.
Something is very wrong with our elected officials in DC.

Rhetorical: Are our lives dependent on money or people. Only one of these two are dependent on the other.
Try getting along without money.
@g bridgman Try getting along without people.
As a non US citizen looking in, I am freakin’ astounded that Congress is in recess at all, let along until May.
@Analog Man But Democrats have! Many investigations and an impeachment and more investigations planned.
Linda Cloud Observer I repeat, Democrats have done absolutely nothing for 3 1/2. 😺
Linda Cloud Observer : You say that as if you think I’m a Democrat, kid. You shills are all one note. Too thick to be any more use than a chocolate coffee pot
They have local duties also. They represent state districts.
@Ash Roskell Trump is not a dictator and says and does nothing to be called that.
money equal to 100 million American middle class jobs of $50,000 a year, totaling $5 trillion was just loaned out to corporations that they might not need to pay back if they don’t want to because you and I will! And Trump having his name printed on the checks translating into delays causing a million households going into foreclosures with cobras people can’t afford and a lifetime of work slipping away… Same houses sold by the banks to the same corporate bail out money, is being made to happen now. The Redistribution of wealth in the most inhuman opportunistic way with a sadistic love affair for poor and middle class assets in a pandemic is unholy. Isn’t it?
@David Druckman not sure if you know this but Americans are all races…not all white…do you might wanna get a handle of what a RACIST’ MEANS…because most leftist..like AOC..THAT MAN TLAIB.. PELOSI..ETC HAVE no clue.
@David Druckman holla back when you got your facts!
It is not $5 trillion it is closer $10 trillion the FED just made out of nowhere which the FED can do.
@djfellowship3 so equal to 2/3rd of Americans getting $50k each or $35 k per American. Who pays this back?
@Elizabeth Medina Racist definition…..anything or anytime you disagree with a liberal. Screaming racist is all they have when facts don’t exist.
There you have it: your real life purge. From a distance, it is concerning to see people letting it happen, letting it continue, others not doing anything and just looking what comes out on the other side.
With popcorn and a soda, the suspense is killing me
The purge is only supposed to be 12 hours one day a year where all crime is legal.
So, so, so full of crap!
They don’t do anything when they’re there.
Or they do it wrong….
Why is a freshman congresswomen talking about the things we need that Biden should be talking about?
Ocasio has nothing to say that’s ever important not even her 92 trillion dollar green deal she’s so stupid that she recommended buying stocks in windmills now that the oil industry is crashed- its actually the worst time to invest in windmills. ben shapiro was absolutely right about cortez she lacks intelligence
@here’s clowny
Ben Shapiro is a spot-on personification of his initials.
My advice to you is go back to eighth grade English. Your punctuation and syntax are abysmal.
Because Biden’s not the current president! That. 🤨
AOC is a clown, with a econ degree and bad at math
@The Rock they don’t deserve the title clown
Italy has medicate for all ……….CBS News admitted to a “mistake” on Monday after airing footage of an overcrowded hospital room that was allegedly in New York City but was actually from a hospital in Italy.
We are already hearing reports that the a lot of the last “small business” stimulus went instead to the well connected corporate businesses. Who would have figured it?
Well I have a very small business and I had no problems getting the PPP loan.
Probably to the company that made Pelosi’s $24,000 refrigerator.
Therer are homeless people that can even pay their mortgage
time to live poor, politicians.
Yep. This is what the US government as come too. So Sad.
Only in America is 2 trillion $$$ considered “small potatoes”.
It’s ‘small potatoes’ only to AOC and her like-minded Democrats.
@Linda Cloud Observer You know the FED is giving 10 trillion to billion dollar corporations that the FED just simple made out of nowhere.
America has become the land of the privileged and unearned.
Look at the bright side; the more people die, the less the “carbon emissions”; the Planet is thinning the herd!
