A Memorial Day Weekend Discussion On The Soul Of America | MSNBC
Campaign Promise is being fulfilled he will continue to turn a blind eye as the death toll rises.
I think it’s called, collateral damage
I think uncaring and heartless is a perfect description of Donald….lets include obese self-absorbed ignorant lazy and dangerous to round out his character traits…
STINK FINGERS JOE needs to “check your oil”, see if it’s a gusher, or just another “dry hole”. Socialist freeloader!
Trump has a helluva nerve name-calling anybody over their appearance. He golfed yesterday….is he in Church today? He sure wanted those churches open pretty badly.
Drump just wanted to get out of quarantine to golf, plain and simple.
@Angela Howard Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want you to know… https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/05/03/congressman-nancy-pelosi-blocking-investigation-chinese-coronavirus-origins/
@the nether report drump too, he is the first person to practice without a license.
@Leonie Romanes Nonsense, Trump needs all Cult votes he can get.
@Yellowbeard True, he does. But you’d think he’d want to keep them all in the land of the living until Nov 3. The blood of Jesus can protect you from spiritual evils, but doesn’t work so well against pandemics.
Trump is getting back to normal life. 100.000 people won’t have this opportunity.
@Chris Hill on health-care I chose that plan because I couldn’t afford to pay $1,000 a month the best way to make our health insurance affordable is open up the market to all insurance companies let them sell health insurance in anywhere in the country across state lines in the competition will drive the prices down when there’s no competition they charge whatever they want just like hospitals do now Trump also put in that hospitals have to tell you how much stuff going to cost I bet you didn’t know that what you like to know what it’s going to cost when you go in the hospital within reason I know some things they don’t know but if you go in there for a broke arm they can kind of tell you roughly what it’s going to be they don’t want to but they can you’re right at my age I am very concerned with who’s President not for me it’s for my children I assumed that you would do it for your children to China is bullying the whole world and if you followed it we had them on the ropes on their economy I kind of think that’s why they might have covered this up so that they could spread it and blame it on the virus point being I don’t want to leave a mess like that for my children I know what China’s up to and what they’re up to is they want world domination and we better deal with it or leave your kids to be slaughtered and Biden is in bed with China look it up I’m not just saying that if I thought fighting was the man I would vote for him he’s not the man to do what we need done
@WE all need to wake up fastl Or take insurance companies out of the loop all together… Once we are truly out of this pandemic, we as a country should make changes that will help all of us! I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy. Have a good day.
@Marvin Burkholder You will be when it’s YOUR family
@Chris Hill Chris I agree 100% we all have to remember we the people are the boss whether to democrat or republican if they are doing stuff that will damage you your family or our country it has to stop thanks for your reply
@Marvin Burkholder do you think Russia is reporting their numbers honestly?
Why does he use a golf cart. Oh thats right, Bone Spurs!!!
morbidly obese drug addicts have difficulty in walking. (waddling).
The bone spurs suddenly were gone when the draft was eliminated.
@railtrailer44 there you go! ANOTHER miracle in the life of donnie, no wonder republican evangelical church whores are so devoutly religious.
Morbid obesity.
@gary clark Like Rush.
1/504. PIR. CIB
Any Veteran Supporting A Dishonorable Draft Dodging Coward for Commander in Chief IS a TRAITOR to the Uniform they once wore
@Catherine Williams Indeed I agree with an active military duty prerequisite for presidents but unfortunately the American people will never push for that as regrettably many citizens do not respect nor honor the need for a strong, morally disciplined military in the first place. Happy Memorial Day! I served under the wise direction of elder George honorably kicking out Saddam from attacking Kuwait while letting Middle East problems stay contained in balance over there while not getting consumed in “whack a mole” problems with no war resolution. George H W Bush (elder not W the son) was the last president who was in the active military.
@John Keller that’s nice to know, the US could of done with some of that expertise on the home front. With 100,000 dead and 40,000,000 unemployed under this administration.
@Leonie Romanes The virus nor the death reality is NOT Trump’s direct fault whatsoever. Literally nobody beyond Bill Gates and a few pathologists knew the viral threat degree from the start with all leaders frankly making mistakes as we go.
@John Keller Well, if you fired a weapon between Nov 90 and Feb 91, my unit sent you that round.
Isn’t it amazing when your leadership creates an objective that can be accomplished and then leaves once that objective has been completed?
Of course, Bush41 was a New England Republican and thus a reasonable Republican. As far as I’m concerned, he was the last real Republican. All of these others are GOP jokes.
Of course, that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.
@John Keller But traitor trump is the only one who said “POWS are not heroes because they got caught”, pardoned a war criminal and fired a war hero, called our military leaders “crybabies”, takes Putins word over our own military intel, stole from a veterans charity, stole from a children’s cancer charity, fought with a gold star family. F that POS traitor to the USA- disabled veteran
Trump golfing, is like playing a fiddle while Rome burns, get rid of the bum.

“Meanwhile, Democrats on the Homeland Security Committee have decried the investigation and the subpoena, arguing that they should be focusing on coronavirus-related issues during the ongoing pandemic and prioritize it over politics.”
In a letter sent to Johnson on Tuesday, Sen. Kamala Harris of California renewed her calls for another COVID-19 hearing, noting that the committee hasn’t held one since early March.
DNC media [MSM] echo-chamber push?
Is this about the virus OR PREVENTING EXPOSURE OF [D] CORRUPTION?

Q
David hey babe
yes an’ hurry up about it!!
@MICHAEL MURPHY really cry baby!
Nero he was also a horrible person,, his place was knocked down and replaced by the Rome arena
Hey!!! The church leaders CAN’T keep up with their jets and mansions payments!!!! How much money have they given to help their members???
You can pray anywhere!!! Don’t need to be in a crowded church!!! Donate to food banks!!!!
VOTE!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@American Ancap The apostrophe is never used to denote the plural. Pastors. Not Pastor’s.
@the nether I don’t have a company….I’ve actually been an essential worker during this whole thing…
@jacqueline wilson Ok….do you have actually have an argument to what I said or do you want to just play grammar police?
Truth!
Look around at your local churches and ask yourself what has these churches done during the lockdown? Have they given anything during a worldwide pandemic and would JESUS be ashamed of these churches. Peter denied Jesus 3 times and 3 times Jesus told him to feed his sheep. So if churches did nothing during this pandemic, maybe you should find a church that did. All of this give your stimulus to the church is just greed. Elec.,water, gas, and maybe a mortgage, phone is all the bills a church has more or less. So a church can do for people to bring them to Christ. So that we can praise GOD even more in our distress. I hope everybody prayed during the lockdown and read their Bible’s. GOD is closer to you than you think. He is always there. Call him he is only a whisper away. Amen.
In all fairness, every country was caught off guard and suffered losses, but what’s politically untenable is how USA outnumbers everyone else by leaps and bounds.
@goletra That we will never know! You’re going on assumption now. Bc it didn’t happen. Trump had time to prepare the Country, as early as he knew about it. More lives could have saved, when you focus on government business. Instead of procedures going on with Congress, and spewing out threats on tweeter.
@goletra An excuse. Presidents always have multiple responsibilities. He could have instructed CDC to begin the process to obtain supplies and develop an outreach program and have it ready to roll within one month, well past the impeachment trial. CDC already had a team in place ready to respond. Instead Ol’ Big A’Brain discounted his staff and spent 2 months calling it a hoax. When the WHO called a pandemic, he did a 180-turn and needed to be out front in the limelight telling everybody how he “gets it”, recommending people take a drug that does nothing to prevent Covid-19 and increase death from cardiac arrhythmias. Oh why do you make excuses for these actions that end in American deaths?
M Light Everything can be viewed from a political lens, but even political criticism would have more weight if it’s intellectually honest. From my end it boils down to our limitation as humans in that we can’t see the future. Given that medical treatments are still elusive, it seems that use of masks is the single most determining factor in curtailing the spread, and even the WHO waited 2 months to change their recommendation from masks only for the sick to mandatory mask for everyone! This is a new disease and collectively we could only do the best we can based on our collective knowledge at the time being.
Hello ☺️
Nope, Nationalist China, Taiwan or Formosa was the only nation that got it right!👍
(Al Jazeera timeline) People’s Republic of China announce to the WHO on December 31,2019 about my Sharona (“Viva Frei”) virus.
Nationalist China went into full lockdown! Found out just how bad it was check back 20 days before that date for people who arrived in country for the virus. The world should have done that to China but didn’t!
But PRC and Nationalist China, Nationalist China is like “Fight Club”, can’t talk about Nationalist China!
Of course a December 31,2019 was just a wee bit to late because it was the beginning of the New Year’s celebration and the population of the world tends to move about then!
@goletra Everything I recommended was known to the President in January. Information was provided to him by 1) his Trade Advisor Peter Navarro 2) CDC staff who had set up an emergency response team by Jan 10th 3) Intelligence Community supplying info via President’s Daily Brief starting in December 4) WHO and 5) major news outlets. If South Korea could test 15,000 in the first week of knowing they had a positive case, certainly the greatest Nation on Earth could do that, too. My recommendations are common everyday knowledge to Emergency Response Planners, especially those in Asia who were impacted by SARS, which devastated their economy so they had a plan ready to go that was implemented Day One. I sense that because you were unaware of the impending danger in January that you want to give allowance to Trump. It’s ok that you didn’t know because that’s not your job. The president, on the other hand, was well informed and he decided to discount it. While no man knows everything, good leaders know their limitations and rely upon other’s knowledge, wisdom, and expertise to help them make the right decisions. Trump did not take action when he needed.
Reports indicated if he had responded on March 6th instead of March 13th, 30% of the deaths would not have occurred. If he had responded February 28th, 60% could have been saved. He spent February swanning around playing golf, visiting Mar A Lago, hosting rallies, travelling to India and claiming the virus was under control or was going to go away like magic.
I feel compassion for the surviving loved ones of the 99,500 lost to Covid-19.
Nero played his violin while Rome burned. The fake president played golf while America was dying.
@Judi Biggerstaff He did cut his own throat last words were The world is loosing a go musician,,, all his documentaries say he fiddled while Rome burned more than one documentary says the same thing,, don’t know what you watching,,, I guess trump,s history channel
@WE all need to wake up fastl That was T-Rumps 256 round of golf while president and he has spend 1/3 of his time as president on his own golf resorts and tax payers pay for that , US tax payers pays for POTUS to be on his own property .
T-Rump alone has already spend 4x more money on vacations than Obama family did in whole 8 years .
Not to mention how much it cost to US tax payers to fly Don Jr and Eric all around the world , cant his 40 year old kids pay that them self ?
Judi Biggerstaff The History Channel? Hahahahahahahhahaha.
WE all need to wake up fastl Do you mean Ebola? The disease that killed two Americans here in the US?
Well you know the saying”When the going gets tough,the tough get going”,only in Trump’s case he goes golfing.
So America, do you still feel like Hilary was evil too because she got hacked. “The less of two evils” that’s what you all call it back then. These people on News paper would still be alive now.
@tammy lee WE here in Ny knew waht he was for years that is why he did not win his home state.
@Anne Harris Yep Him and Barr are trying to plan a defense using the FBI as the reason for the Mueller report and all his problems. how is that going to work. 6 ppl in his adm 5 for russin connections. If he gets arrested after leaving office this should be good TV. But will anyone care any longer?
@orphan 200 I think people will care, if we re still here!
Adam Lomas I don’t think they have to hack his phone. I think he willingly speaks with them. His goal is to be like them. I’m sure he’s getting advice from them.
@orphan 200 You know what I’d love to see from one of the women of the press core that are always demeaned by Trump? If it were me and I knew it was going to be a waste of time I’d say: Mr. Trump since you don’t want to address any of America’s concerns, perhaps you could tell us, what’s up with your clown like ties and what brand of glue do you use to keep your toupee from flying off? I realize I’d most likely be banned from his briefings but they’re useless anyway and oh the satisfaction I’d get from giving him a little of his own belittling medicine. And hats off to New York I hope your DOJ is getting his ducks in a row for the prosecution of Trump and his Troup after he leaves office. It really is what will make the the years he has lined his pockets, committed treason, tried to rewrite the constitution, padded the supreme court and ruined our standing in on world stage. It would be nice to get justice for all the lives he is responsible for with his reckless handling of this pandemic. Maybe we could do a reality show from prison, broadcast live 24/7. Charge $10.00 a month per household (free if you can’t afford it) and balance the budget, supply free healthcare, and address the homeless crisis. Beef up social security instead of dismantling it. And lead the world again with climate change. Since he should get life we’ll hope he lives a long time. Finally the paracite could make a contribution to society.
Better on the golf course than spreading lies, and selling non-approved drugs.
Right, the more he stay away from the press the better off we are.
Trump doesn’t sell drugs. I am no Trump fan, but please stay with the truth. He is consuming a drug under a doctor’s supervision as a personal choice. He is pushing for more testing of more treatments (remdesivir has EPA approval) with a pursuit towards a vaccine (which is further into the future). Trump has made mistakes but also made excellent decisions confronting this viral crisis. Every single other leader has also made mistakes along the way.
Chills down my back and legs as the names are being read. May your family feel comfort and peace during this time. Prayers to all.
Prayers are useless AF.
Golfing???? I thought Vladimir Trump was crying about Churches not being open, why isn’t he at service????????

Because he’s not going to be upstaged by Jesus, that’s why.
Maybe melania couldn’t find anything” appropriate” to wear for the services.💃👀
Oh he would if they had a Stall set up selling KFC…He is so Holy YA know
Melania can’t cross the threshold of any church without an invitation but only after the first full moon and high tide of the new month or unless there’s a funeral proceeding in progress(at night). 😏 It’s something about an ancient Slavic curse and bat’s blood, I think🕵…👹➡💨➡👸
Sitting next to a caddie in a golf cart without a mask. He wore gloves to cover the blood on his hands
Mark my words; the orange-utan will claim covid was made (by Obama or CIA) to hurt his re-election chances.
You know he is that sick in the orange head.
Sad but true.
I think their blaming Bill Gates. Something about putting a chip people. Crazy. Hope then inject themselves with bleach.
Trump fired 4 inspector generals since April.
I guess he has nothing to hide. 🙄
@John Smith Tell Putin, you need some better material, BORIS!!!
It is the only thing he learned how to do , from his previous job, “The Apprentice.”
John Smith Has no content on his channel. John Smith is a troll. Do not fed the trolls.
I thought Trump lined Generals.I guess only those that don’t challenge or criticize him.
@John Smith If I’d been president, I would have flushed every Obama appointed DemoRAT down the toilet… day #1
The flags were lowered to half mast AFTER Joe Biden said that that would be what he’d have done, during his interview with Stephen Colbert, just two days ago. Coincidence???
@Respect/Walk Actually I think you mean Trump. No one has accused Biden of lowering his pants.
@katherine A. Rodgers he has eight accusers stupid
@Saundra Weston he tried to close the border a year ago fuckstain .even Dems now agree with that
Respect/Walk If you want to have an adult conversation, fine. But don’t respond by being nasty or trashy. I never said anything about the border. What’s your point you are attempting to make.
@Saundra Weston Trump tried to close our borders to protect us and Libby’s screamed bloody murder now they say he did the right thing but too late .wtf a year ago was too late?
Almost 100,000 dead and Donald Trump is waddling around the golf course. WTF?
@katherine A. Rodgers Trump was that at the beginning of the day.
@TILT Ha, Ha! I am 75 years old, have six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. And by the way, I am 5 ft 2 and weigh 120 lbs. I am also a cancer survivor and keep myself educated. So, your snitty comment means nothing!
@TILT trump pretty fat and bitter, yet you’re attracted to him.
@katherine A. Rodgers Ohhhh!! 😭😭 Cry me a RIVER…. YOU LEFTWING DemoRATS… Love to play the VICTIM….
@Leonie Romanes Are you, Male, Female or a Transformer..??
“A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims… but accomplices.” ~ George Orwell.
@the nether That is not true as we, the USA, is a democratic REPUBLIC. The popular vote never elected any American president; the electoral college representatives elect the president. Study in an American government class some time to review what should be obvious.
@Rush Zimi You had a horrible teacher for studying politics. Obviously, some politicians are ideologues strictly for gaining personal power, wealth, and some fame. That said, many seek political position to lead for a brief time with no want for power but for stewardship for the betterment of a city, county, state, or America at large. There are many good examples to know if you would stop the cynicism. President Eisenhower in fact, for example, didn’t want the job of president until he realized others would lead the nation poorly. He stabilized the nation’s domestic and foreign affairs with nothing more to gain beyond stewardship.
Amen
@Lamonica Calhoun if you pick neither you choose the status quo.
Rush Zimi
Since MSDNC and Polititions have gone INSANE..
I would like to thank the hundreds of thousands of service men and women who gave their lives so that we may have Freedom !
