Alex Wagner: A Subsection Of American Electorate ‘Has Given Up On The Institutions & Rule Of Law’
I can’t believe that ANY parent would want four more years of this chaos, nastiness and corruption from Trump for their children to live in.
Anyone else noticing that the MAGA hats are now camouflage and military like? 😳
@Potsmoking Atheist Fake news!
Actually, the first camo MAGA with orange font hat introduced in 2016. The first hats were red, but shortly after that they made the camo along with white and some others.
@King Hopkins Tony Bobulinski, one of Hunter’s former business partners is now exposing the whole thing. He’s sharing thousands of his personal emails about “H” and the “Big Guy” >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7nAMzi42-g
@King Hopkins Hunter’s business partners flipped, his CEO, the FBI and DNI have confirmed the laptop and email, and all the foreign partners are in jail or on the run. You were had and are backing a CCP sellout.
The republican party has sown these seeds by encouraging this mindset.
And their families wonder why they can’t get a bond, michigan militias proved that they never see free again
These groups have proven time and time again that they are more than willing to engage in violence and domestic terrorism on Trump’s behalf. Like Alqaeda, Trump is OBL to these MilitiaTerrorists.
They say that “the fish rots from the head” and this is true, and so does a nation. And the insidious rot that has gripped this nation, can be traced directly to the occupant in the Oval Office..
“I think my rhetoric brings people together,” Donald said that last year, just four days after a 21-year-old MAGA supporter posted an anti-immigrant message online and then opened.fire at a Walmart in El Paso, TX, taking the lives of 22 people, and injuring dozens of others.
A nationwide review conducted has identified at least 54 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.
After a La.tino gas station attendant in Gainesville, Florida, was suddenly pu.nched in the head by a MAGA supporter, the victim could be heard on surveillance camera recounting the attacker’s own words: “He said, ‘This is for Trump.'”
When police questioned a Washington state man about his threats to mu.rder a local immigrant, the suspect told police he wanted the victim to “get out of my country,” adding, “That’s why I like Trump.”
Reviewing police reports and court records, the review found that in at least 12 cases perpetrators hailed DJT in the midst or immediate aftermath of physically assaulting innocent victims. In another 18 cases, perpetrators cheered or defended Trump while taunting or threatening others. And in another 10 cases, Trump and his rhetoric were cited in court to explain a defendant’s violent or threatening behavior.
The review could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of Obama or Bush.
The 54 cases identified are remarkable in that a link to DJT is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt. These links are not speculative – they are documented in official records. And in the majority of cases, it was the perpetrators themselves who invoked DJT’s name in connection with their case, not anyone else..
Trump is the chaos and disorder president. He is the cloven hoofed purveyor of fear & loathing, of pandemics & death. He is a provocateur of mayhem & upheaval. He is a merchant of lies & deception. And he is trying to create an America in his own image: vile, dark, hopeless, bleak, backwards, malignant, grotesque, ignorant, selfish, indecent, malicious, debased, indifferent, and malevolent.
Trump and his followers are exactly what Voltaire was talking about when he said: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
Hunter’s business partners flipped, his CEO flipped, the FBI and DNI have confirmed the laptop and email, and all the foreign partners are in jail or on the run. You were had and are backing a CCP sellout.
@SPZ Aruba oh goodie. Can you post the FBI link for us? Surely you didn’t just expect us to take you on your word.
@H C This is my favorite part. I like showing the left their reflection in the bubble. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8866457/Laptop-allegedly-belonging-Hunter-Biden-linked-FBI-White-Collar-money-laundering-probe.html
@Billie Matteo They may protest and they may protest with their guns where it is allowed but most are not dumb enough to try to actual use them or threaten anyone because they know they will end up in prison for a long time.
@SPZ Aruba Yawn. Maybe this would be a good fictional movie if done by the right producer. You check into it. You have a good imagination. I bet you imagine a women touching you but that has never happened and never will. Very sad. Go play now.
Yeah, that’s what happens when you have a whole political party dedicated to scamming people into giving up on government, and no one does anything about it.
It will take years to clean up the mess Trump has left behind him

@Potsmoking Atheist
Who owns Fox and the NY Post?
Who does Trump talk to on a frequent basis.

Its election time!
@Potsmoking Atheist oh, thanks for telling me what reality is. Yes, we should be subservient to the good lord Trump, and trust in the Qanon conspiracy theorists over actual journalists. I’m sorry for my lack of obedience, I shall correct it immediately. Cause that’s not a brainwashed mentality at all.
Trump’s Twitter account password was Maga2020! That’s the genius with the nuclear codes.
@never cantrell I see you are one of the ones who will take to the street with a gun killing at random. It’ll be great to see when you’re no longer a member of American society. You are a pathetic person.
Fox News is the enemy. They give voice to mental midgets.
I am a Canadian and I am watching your country very closely. And I have family and friends here in Canada who watch Fox news and believe everything they hear. It’s so bad we don’t talk about politics at all. However, I do wish all our American neighbors well. Stay safe and healthy.
BIDEN SOLD HIS VP SEAT AND AMERICA TO CHINA..THIS GUY HAS PROOF HES TAKING TO FBI TOMORROW..JUST HAD A PRESS CONFRENCE

@never cantrell : Yeh right. Trump has been trying to pin something on Biden and Obama and Hillary from day one to no avail. We’re supposed to believe some loser who comes out of the woodwork at the last minute claiming to have evidence of Biden corruption ? Where has he been for the past two years ? In a coma ?
The Truth is Out!! Hunters business partner is speaking out and Joe Biden was in on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiiSq7toqlQ
@Catherine MacAskill – Thanks for the well wishes. lets hope the US can stop the insane liberal socialists in their tracks, because if we lose, it will spread to you next. The big tech companies are asserting their rule, and Trump is the last obstacle in their way. The Truth is Out!! Hunters business partner is speaking out and Joe Biden was in on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiiSq7toqlQ
That guy was just stupid. He sounds like a petulant 5 year old who wants mommy’s attention.
He thinks he is the solution not realizing he is the problem. Make no mistake there is a large enough section of the population that feel the same as he does to pose a real threat to society. On the other hand if they can not handle wearing a mask and quarantining for a couple of weeks can they endure prolonged armed conflict? However I am sure they will have not only Trumps encouragement but his support as well. I am really torn as to how to feel about these cult like extremist. I do not know but feel if Biden wins small pockets of targeted violence will erupt, mainly focused on political figures and outspoken voices of social change on the left. If Trump wins the violence will be gradual and with several minority groups targeted as the terrorist will feel emboldened and entitled to commit violence towards, “others”. Perhaps we should all hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Perhaps they will shock us all and have 1 last glass of bleach laced koolaid to wash down a massive dose hydroxychloroquin and finally swallow the last ounce of spoon fed lies served up by das Furher.
@David Clark straight, to the point, and 100% true
i agree, with him white is right and that’s his universe, its like he is happy to short circuit his own brain, he sees things in a very black and white simpleton world view, he wants his life to be as simple as possible and cares not to exercise his brain, he has a borderline personality and he is not alone not by a long shot, believe him when he says he is very dangerous, he is telling the truth, he has a wilful indifference to anyone that has the tenacity to stand up to him, he has a strong potential for extreme violence
@lifeisa a warzone yes he does that’s why people like him should be under psychiatric care
There are tons that are “just…” and they vote for Trump, and he keeps cheering them up…
Those guys at the beginning are cowards. They are not going to bust a grape.
@Ron Sandlin On weekends that their boss lets them.
@Tobias Rieper
🤣🤣🤜🤛
but they will Hump a Chump if given the chance
@American Educational Archive
People who intend on doing something Usually do not announce their intentions. You know these goomers are not going to do Anything they say. It was just to get on the news !!
Stupidity on every level from the Maga morons.
SCARY CRAZY
Good luck America 💙
Greetings from Germany
Tony Bobulinski (CEO) confirmed the Biden emails, a 40% cut, and Joe is “the big guy” clearing Hunter’s moves. Joe made $40 million on CCP favor trading from 2011 to 2015. MSM owns you.

@SPZ Aruba
And who owns the NY Post?
Trump talks to the owner frequently.
It’s Trump and the National Enquirer all over again.

@Mario Lopez At this point the story, laptop, and receipt don’t matter. The FBI has an open money laundering investigation, fraud investigation, and child endangerment investigation open. Other than the Biden’s everyone is on the run, in jail, or disappeared from the earth. And that is as real as it gets.
Don’t be scared of overweight, out of shape, ignorant people. Sure there are a few crazies but most of them are just a bunch of childish boys that like to play army man. I am a gun owner and for some reason people that are into guns fantasize about using them. Don’t worry, they are all talk. Just like guy talk about girls. When I was in my teens I was the same way but grew up.
@SPZ Aruba geez. You not tired ??
American society, teachers and parents created these right wing monsters.
The Truth is Out!! Hunters business partner is speaking out and Joe Biden was in on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiiSq7toqlQ
Cool story bro! Simp for trump.
@Potsmoking Atheist sure. Let’s just drop everything comrade and trust what you say.
Propaganda machine Fox news.
These people who aren’t willing to accept the results of our elections unless they meet their criteria are not Americans, they are traitors and should be labeled as “traitors”.
You and what army? I ask because that may well be what is necessary to keep the rule of law in the democratic republic in which we live.
You are absolutely correct, they should be locked up for treason!
Fake tough guys. Empty threats. Be apart of the solution, not the problem.
If Biden was winning these fake news stories would be run 24/7.
👍😷👌
@TheBase1aransas
Stop fearmongering! There are no more 2nd chances!
@elc You are correct. #FAKENEWS will be tried for Sedition. Perhaps Treason in some cases.
@TheBase1aransas
If you’re not a paid troll you should get serious mental help! MUTE
Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are two of the dumbest talking heads on TV so that tells you a lot right there.
That citizen probably never graduated highschool. The rural parts of our country are woefully undereducated and misinformed..and Frump counts on it.
Yup, that is exactly how Republicans like it and they fight hard to keep it that way. Things need to change.
Ooh sounds like the liberal elite. Just to let you know go hang around the operating rooms of most hospitals. The white dudes doing cabgs and taking gallbladder say the same bs all the time
This is America. Trump is unbelievable. Chaos, violence and division and hatred! Vote them out. Vote blue in November
BIDEN SOLD HIS VP SEAT AND AMERICA TO CHINA..THIS GUY HAS PROOF HES TAKING TO FBI TOMORROW..JUST HAD A PRESS CONFRENCE
https://youtu.be/aiiSq7toqlQ
@never cantrell, do you know that your orange president has received money and benefits for his family from China since 2017?
@Rver SoCal that’s false. Get outta here….BIDEN OUT HERE PREYING ON STUPID PEOPLE WITH LIES
The members of the United States Military have sworn to Honor, Protect and Defend the United States Constitution, that includes the OFFICE of the President, NOT the person in it.
Those fools won’t even get CLOSE to pulling off what they think they have the right to.
It’s time we stand for true democracy. VOTE BIDEN 2020
They are TERRORISTS, not militia.
They are NOT a “Well Rgulated Militia” run by a State, they are NOT protected by the 2nd Amendment.
Yes! We need to stop calling them militia groups and call them what they are, terrorists.
why are we calling them a militia. they are terrorists. the only war they are fighting is against the our country
You are right. They are Donnie’s dump boys, and they are terrorist!
These are not REPUBLICANS. THESE are THUGS that AMERICA should deal with.
100%, but let’s not forget….Hitler’s followers wore swastikas. Trumps followers wear MAGA hats.
Trump killed the GOP. This is the new Rethuglikkkan party.
They vote Republican and they vote for TRUMP. And he keeps calling them “very good people”…
