Americans Plan Demonstrations In Support Of Impeaching Trump | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
The people of the US need to learn from the citizens of France and Puerto Rico how to remind corrupt politicians who they work for.
Stede, The UK learned!
The politicians are completely self-serving. No one else
@Greg M please don’t learn from france, keep electing idiots so us non-americans can keep laughing. I hope he won’t be impeached!
Yes! It’s up to the people!
Yes it is.. These people work for U…They do not work for Trump..
A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE…..NOT Donnie McDumbass and his butt buddy Putin
Traitor-Trump will finally have the largest crowd size! #Impeach!! #voteBlue2020!!
@Felicia Flores don’t respond, its a russian troll
Never will I vote democrat or republican but for whom I think is better in my opinion. And trump is my vote. It’s best to have someone honest than a liar. (Clinton)

Wouldn’t you love to see rudi testify?

Absolutely. Right after Hillary, Bill, Loretta and Barack Hussein.
@Christopher Carnes Sounds like Whitewater but that’s the Clintons.
@Aliens I almost gave you a thumbs down until I read all of your statement.
Let’s get it done. Impeach Trump!
@Robbie Helferstay this is fun, keep it up my friend!
@Robbie Helferstay …little froth on your chin, feller. And stop chewing on that old shoe.
@Robbie Helferstay define ‘tribalism’ and how it applies to a black president.
Define very carefully indeed.
@Diabetes Put up or shut up. Impeachment would be on the public record, and in the official record of Congressional proceedings.
I want times and dates and explicit statements.

Great that you are covering this Rachel, let your boots shake the ground for America my patriotic friends!
Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number-
Shake your chains to earth like

Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many-they are few.

I could NOT conclude Trump committed a Crime! – Robert Mueller!
@Bud Fudlacker Yeah, he wasn’t allowed under the guidelines of the DOJ with corrupt AG Barr in charge. What’s your effing point? Cherrypicking?
…Yawn…..
Keep your focus on the demonstration
“If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
– Frederick Douglass
The media would have us believe Trump was going to start WWIII and ruin our economy. Instead he has ended wars and made peace with N. Korea and has made a booming economy. But for some reason, Trump is to blame for all of Americas problems by the people we have had in congress since the 70’s. The list of his accomplishments are long and outstanding, but you will never hear any of it at msnbc. It is hate 24/7 .
@Bud Fudlacker nope, we have sworn testimony by very credible witnesses.
Sorry. Facts keep getting in the way. Please continue with your unhinged ranting.
@Daniel Duvalle Yes, I meant that the GOP has been a worthy political party.
Government needs people of merit. I may not agree with conservative politics, but I would like good people of all stripes to make democracy work.
@Septembers Whisper He has ruined your economy – look at what you owe and all the trade wars you’re loosing money on. Peace with North Korea? The same North Korea that the Trump administration just concluded still was a massive danger and who keep testing missiles all the time? Trump hasn’t accomplished anything other than being the president with the most crimes and lies under his belt.
@Dippe Galant I disagree. Can you please tell me what crimes he has committed and show me the evidence.
EVERYBODY! Please take RESPONSABILITY for the future of their country. Republicans are destroying democracy, the environment, the earth resources, education, equality, freedom.
@MidScream1 BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT. BECAUSE HINDSIGHT IS 2020.
@Mike Smith Shut up moron. Never provide any evidence just alot of hot air. What is it like to be so small and insignifigant? LOSER.
*TONIGHT’S SPECIAL GUEST ON RACHEL MADDOWS’ SHOW IS “LISA PAGE” WHOSE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP ALWAYZ HAVING HER NAME IN HIS MOUT’-MOUTH & RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS & THE FAKE DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY THEORIES & HOW SHE GOT INVOLVED IN THE FBI & SHE’S KOOL AS HECK TOO!! COMING SOON TO YOUTUBE SOON, MAYBE!!🆗👋👋✊😎✌😂😂😂*
Yeah! Yahoo! Woohoo! Go, go, go…people protest power!
Its about time America spoke out publicly. Ive been waiting to see protests. It works around the world, America is part of the system and the system speaks up and speaks out. If there was a protest in australia, against trump, i would be there in a flash
Popular vote trump 62,984,828. Hillary 65,853,51. Unfortunately we can’t post pictures here. I know you wont read any of the links and you’ll keep spreading that lie.
@Diabetes Just in case you’re confused,
popular vote— noun
the vote for a U.S. presidential candidate made by the qualified voters, as opposed to that made by the electoral college.
the vote for a candidate, issue, etc., made by the qualified voters, as opposed to a vote made by elected representatives.
popular-vote: definition from Dictionary.com: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/popular-vote
There’s a protest in North Korea. Better hurry!
DAMMIT I have to work… I’ll be there in spirit!
Call a Senator.
Rally organizers anticipate this and that’s why many of them will be held at night. Check your area.
Quit your job and demand unemployment for emotional abuse
Save America, remove Trdumbp !
Lol moron
Save America! Let’s make America great again! Trump 2020
please before its to late to save us
@TrumpTrain2020 You probably would let trump and his friends ride a train on you!! BERNIE SANDERS 2020.
Go to a rally people!!! Moveon.org has rallys planned, as well, Tuesday December 17. Make a sign and get out there! Its free!
@jctoad yeah Detroit enjoys its status as a third world city. Gross place
GG I’m going to the one in Utah. Everyone be safe.
I just got back. Good crowd. No problems. CNN was there. Hard to tell how many people were there, but it was a lot. I got there 15 minutes early and it was already in full swing. Went a couple of blocks up both sides of Woodward Ave.
I read that a few days ago the Republicans had an anti-impeachment rally several miles up the same road. 70 people showed for that 😆 We had many times more than that tonight.
jctoad I’m on my way home we had about 200 or more people show which is pretty good for Utah. I got into a confrontation with QAnon guy I told him he should leave luckily he left early.
That is funny. As a French citizen, I complain about how the yellow vests and other protesters are too much in the streets against Macron. Yet Macron does not do a quarter of what Trump does. if French people feel insulted, they are in the streets, like it happened a few years ago, when he said that French are always complaining. But now, I find myself very proud of being French.
In the USA, Trump insults constantly people, publicly, every day of the year, he robs them to enrich himself in front of their eyes, he lies to them on a daily basis, he does outrageous things, does not have respect for anything, for his country, for what constitutes the core of it, does not respect even himself, yet American people hardly lift a finger, I find them too lenient, too soft, just because the economy is good?
This is when I ask you, American people, don’t you have any respect for yourselves? Are you ready to lower your pants, shed your values and principles, just because you have bread on your table? I want to believe that you are better than this Administration and its army of corrupt millionaires. I want to believe that you still can place Honor beyond money and comfort.
Wake up and defend yourselves and the honor of your country, and don’t let him and his army of minions destroy it. The damage would be far worse than if you re-elect him.
Vive la Republic! Liberte Egalite Fraternite! (sorry for the rusty French)
Thank you!
@Dave Schultz Where do you think the ideals that helped make the USA came from? Thin air?
@Dave Schultz ignorance is your problem.
I’m thinking was the first immigrant to U.S. illiterate and education was not a issue.
But you got some of it for sure schultz’s
*TONIGHT’S SPECIAL GUEST ON THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW IS “LISA PAGE” WHO TALKED ABOUT WHY TRUMP ALSO HAS HER NAME IN HIS MOUTH & HOW SHE GOT INTO THE FBI & THE DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY THEORIES & HOW SHE WAS CLEARED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT & THE OIG REPORT & SHE’S PRETTY KOOL TOO & RACHEL ALSO TALKED ABOUT RICK GATES RECEIVING 45 DAYS IN JAIL TODAY & 3 YEARS PROBATION & HOW LEV PARNAS RECEIVED $1 MILLION FROM DMITRY FIRTASH THE UKRAINIAN-RUSSIAN OLIGARCH & MOB BOSS WHOSE WANTED HERE IN 🇺🇸 AMERICA & THEIR CONNECTION TO RUDY GIULIANI & VLADIMIR PUTIN!!

Trump will probably think they’re all out supporting him to stop impeachment – he’s that stupid! Stay safe – stay in numbers – keep an eye out for each other!
@Gina R yes very shocking, these are ideologies supported by many in the Democratic party. Just something to keep in mind as many are casting stones at the supporters of our elected president.
@eurekajim #VoteBlue2020 Apparently it was Ukraine and the Dems interfering in the last election.
we pray for pease
When there aren’t any yt videos posted of Rachel’s entire show, you can always listen to it at podcast one dot com.

Power to the people
Lol
This is Laflare Tv Now that is someone who should be called a Boomer, as a compliment. 🙂
@K Kr I can dig iy
I hope to see an impeachment crowd larger than his inauguration crowd.
@TrumpTrain2020 HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BRAINWASHED, YOU’RE VERY OUT NUMBERED HERE.
That’s not very hard! LOL
yes, please vote for the impeachment left-tards! TRUMP will make history by becoming the first president to ever be impeached, acquitted, then get re-elected in a landslide 2020 victory! democrats are going to get crushed in the collateral damage. TRUMP will add to the senate majority, and retake the house. all of the left-tards are going to cry so hard when the sun rises on november 4, 2020! #MAGA #TRUMP2020
Never going to happen. Have you seen the turn outs for his rallys, you have been lied to and mislead, for three years now and you are still a blind follower. Just last week Trump accomplished this: USMCA , historic trade deal with China, EO to combat anti semitism, made it so all Fed. employees will get paid family leave, established the space force, just to name a few. It is what the media will not tell you that is important.
That should not be too difficult , You would think
I’ll be there. Americans need to stand up and rid our government of the Republikan criminal element…

The left has destroyed traditional family units. Diminished the importance of fathers, eviscerated marriage, promoted promiscuity, ridiculed Christian values, legalized racism and hate toward whites, legalized killing of babies up to the time they are born and all of you want to blame Trump, because the media has played you by not telling you the truth and you have allowed it, by being spoon fed your “news” which is nothing but opinion pieces put together to deceive you. The media has lied for three straight years because you are to lazy to look things up for yourselves to see if what they have said is really true. It is what they do not tell you that is the truth.
Lawrence you realize if he’s impeached it goes to the Vp right? It doesn’t go to a Democrat
@MrSpreadem If impeached it goes to the senate where he is exonerated and he remains in office. Impeachment does not remove him from office. This has all been a waste of tax payers time and money, meanwhile congress has done NOTHING for the very citizens of this country, but they have drafted hundreds of bills to protect illegals and refugees. Today in NY they just gave all illegals drivers licenses so they too can vote. They could care less about you, too many of you are realizing how you have been lied to are are finally waking up.
