'A Dangerous, Dangerous Precedent' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
People who break the law are trumps favorite kind, people who follow rules and the oath they swore too are not. Period.
@cortical1 You are absurdly WRONG. In a democracy the MAJORITY rules. Ask Hillary how that worked out for her.
@Arden McConnell I took your comment from an economic standpoint. That’s how it looked to me.
@Walt Schmidt Thank You.
@Walt Schmidt The definition is simply any gov’t formed by the population voting, which Trump supporters did.
I’m still rooting for a massive heart attack!
@Walt Schmidt 👹
Charles Edwards
so what are the odds you might have one? Honestly I think you would want to avoid it. Yet if you really desire one I won’t argue 😀
@caroline yartey I get the angry devil from a person praying for someone to die…okay.
I second that.
@Michael Morris Why I was thinking the same thing!
Any honorable man will admit his faults. The question is how low have our standards become, and what we do about that for the future of the integrity of our military.
@Dave Schultz
You are just another example of a typical Trumpanzee!
All of you MORONIC Trumpanzee’s “combined” have less active brain cells, than just one of those “Dead Bed Bugs” that are infesting all of Ole Toxic Donnies Hotels and other properties!
Standards are and still high…..what is LOW IS THIS POTUS
pen j’honson
i haven’t heard many Democrats admit their faults yet
pen j’honson “The question is how low have our standards become”
“The truth is, that we brought with us the rights of men, of expatriated men. On our arrival here the question would at once arise, *_by what law will we govern ourselves?_* The resolution seems to have been, *_by that system, with which we are familiar;_* to be altered by ourselves occasionally, and adapted to our new situation. 4 Jefferson’s Corresp. 178.” Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Book 1, Ch 16.
“The truth is” the Western Hemisphere and colonies were stolen from the indigenous peoples under the Laws of Feudal Europe, specifically the Royal Corporate Charter.
The US Constitution established a divisive feudal society; a Mercantile Corporate Plutocracy. American voters always get what they deserve in their government, and then they blame each other for their bipartisanship —> apologists ignorant or taking advantage of socially created Corporate Persons.
*Divide and conquer.*

Putin benefits yet again from this.
Captain distraction is at it again.
Yes! and it is hard to understand why some people can’t see that! Its like a puppet master behind the curtain, laughing at the simple minded audience oblivious to his perversions
Are Americans so naive? Trumps leadership style is synonymous with how Putin and authoritarian rulers consolidate their leadership position thru the divide and rule concept. He seemed to be replicating the style of an authoritarian ruler and won’t be surprised if he is getting advise along the way from that foreign leader.
I watch and speak Russian TV they are loving it cause they are always criticized for corruption and now they give the US as an example of craziness.
As far as Trump is concerned. All roads lead to Putin.
“My warfighters” He thinks everything is his. He thinks he controls it all.
Johnny Johnstone hahahahaha they give you internet access in the nuthouse I see. What will they think of next? 🧐
“He wasn’t a weak fighter” he said, what a thing to say, so he rewards war crimes.
A serious lack of integrity= Perfect fit in trumpland.
We should never underestimate the unexpected screwed up wisdom of bone spurs and the commander in cheese Trump! 😀🤣
Absolutely right
DEMOCRATS take Trump literally but not seriously. Republicans take Trump seriously but not literally. That’s the difference.
Trump rally tonight watch it you’ll be glad you did
War fighter and evil doers. Republicans best?
Good point, but criminal warfighters, not all are crims
I agree
Trump rally tonight watch it you’ll be glad you did
@Richard T best comedy show EVER!! Thanks buddy!
@Richard T you front row again? Don’t forget your spinal column!
So Trump facilitates the firing of Spencer, The Secretary of the Navy, and a Marine veteran, and then turns around and cuddles Gallagher, a disgraced and dishonorable war criminal. Yep, that sounds exactly like something Trump would do. I’m waiting for Trump to declare a national holiday in Gallagher’s honor. 😔
@Dave Schultz he slit the throat the 2 medics put their fingers into the hole therefore it is convenient to say the 2 medics action killed the captured Isis.
@Carlos Duque otherwise called “alternative facts”.
Why doesn’t numb nuts take care of the”war fighters” who are committing suicide every day?
Because they who commit suicide don’t benefit HIM.
@Jim Battersbee The lip service paid to the actual human beings that risk their lives makes me sick. They’re only important when they are an excuse for false piety and concern. The rest of the time they are pawns in a game of dominoes.
That will cost money.
Mark Edly
perhaps he is implementing the Obama plan. Letting Vets die in hospitals waiting to see a Doctor. What do you think?
Why will no one check this man? How does he get away with being a POS so regularly?
It’s called WHITE PRIVILEGE, America’s biggest disease and what will lead to her downfall.
He is antichrist …
R J
check what? How is Trump a point of sale? LOL
He is the self proclaimed “Chosen One” that the Christian Taliban have been waiting for! They are a Cult!
Tough enough to stick a knife in a wounded kid? That’s not what makes Seals tough. That’s just murder.
A kid? A terrorist.
This coward dodged serving his country more than once and then said he “liked people who weren’t captured” mocking Sen. McCain who endured years of torture as a prisoner of war. Now he is making decisions undermining military protocol and procedures – give me a break! Please STOP the madness!
Trump rally tonight watch it you’ll be glad you did
Get this clown out of the white house.
@Richard T Sick, orange blotus, I wouldn’t waste my time watching this dancing fool being petted by his foolish slaves.
CHARLES SCOTT There is if you become a war hawk after dodging the draft, as Trump is doing.
Trump says he needs to protect our war fighters and he’s done nothing for the Veterans. Nothing has changed under Trump the lies keep coming from Trump.
If you were a vet you would know you are a lying sack of sh*t.
@Walt Schmidt wrong walt only in his speeches. his corporate tax cut made his military funding nothing more than a few minor line items. then he diverted congressional approved funding for military family housing and schools to his horizontal edifice on the border
@Sneeze Saw If the sellout democrats that decimated the military under Obozo did their jobs in Congress he wouldn’t have had to do that. The American people elected Trump to build that edifice. And I don’t know any active duty going without. When you get discharged you are a civilian again. The GI Bill was designed so vets could get an education and a good job.
Trump is in the wrong institution he should be in a mental institution!
The faster the better!!!
BRYSON GRAY i’m not even an American, I don’t have to live your sins. People like you don’t let America breathe hope, you choke what is right and you accept what is wrong, who is the hypocrite now. if this is what you want, all I can say is, good luck
BRYSON GRAY and by the way I worked in a mental institution for 16 years I saw many trumps. Very dangerous people especially for the weak of mind.
@Live&letLive STFU LIAR! no one believes you!
BRYSON GRAY happy thanksgiving my neighbour …hope everything works out for everybody.
So the draft dodger who never served a day is lecturing a professional about how to deal with a war fighter going rogue and committing gruesome war crimes.
Disgusting wimpy Trump taking advantage again of the power of the presidency by which he does not deserve at all.
Again with the “a lot of people have told me”
RESIGN, PUNK.
Same old spundbites
Trump should talk to other Seals members and Military people and thier feelings. Alot of people? More like the voices in his head 😂
@Deb Kellar yeah
It wasn’t enough for Trump to pit citizens against each other. Now he’s diving our military.
Trump corrupts everything he touches or gets involved in
BRYSON GRAY why do dumb trump supporters always make this claim..trump cannot take credit for jobs not the economy..unemployment was already below 4% under obama and he pulled the economy out of a recession into a great economy..trump literally did nothing but ride his success..if anything trump has done everything g to ruin it with his disastrous trade war, idiotic tax plan that added trillions and only helped the rich, and saw many plants close all over the country after he said he would keep them open. Stop with the nonsense..people know the truth and blacks will not support this clown
EVERYTHING!
and the clintons dont…. LMAO
@BRYSON GRAY does that get him off taping kids with Epstein?
“I have to protect my warfighters”
Unless they speak out against me.
Starman Dx
Yep. Unless they’re decent and honorable.
Like Vindman
