Biden: 'False Choice' Of Getting Virus Under Control, Getting Back To Work | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Fyi Everything that you right wingers accuse joe of doing your presidnet has done one million times worse and more.
AND YOU DEFENDED HIM TO THE END AND VOTED FOR HIM. TWENT TWO WOMEN SILENCED BY TRUMP.
Real Talk it’s rich that you think Obama was only elected because he is black. And then reelected to another 4 years because he is black too I suppose? You do realize that is racist right? Assuming that everyone did something just because the color of someone’s skin…..inherently realist. Do you live in Missouri?
@Richard Eisenhower im defending it by saying i LOVE the energy coming from our side. I love the cheering in the chamber. I can understand why you dont bc your nominee can barely stay awake and speaks in one tone. Ivanka and jared actually give their salaries back to taxpayers just as the president does so im not sure what your trying to say???
@Richard Eisenhower so i guess donny has your vote. Great to hear that man. I knew you would come around
@Richard Eisenhower guess you didnt know that the President and his kids dont take salaries. Nail in the coffin on your “taxpayer funded” argument
@Richard Eisenhower when someone does their job for free, you know its because they genuinely care
Look at who is behind these astroturf protests against shutting down, it’s the billionaires who have access to great medical care, can get tests for themselves and their personal servants and have luxury bunkers and yachts they are sheltering in while pushing the peasants back into unsafe working conditions.
@Deadbeat Donny
I still love u
@Deadbeat Donny
Love will always conquer hate. I will miss u
@Puddles 59 Yes, but real love, not the faux love you’re expressing here. Again, now that you’ve been exposed as a liar, nothing you say carries even a glimmer of believability. Do you not understand how that works, dumdum?
@Walter Heisenberg you really need to have bad luck come to your door
@Mike Laing You are, most likely.
JOE BIDEN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ! 2020 GO JOE BIDEN AND BLUE SENATE ! TRUMPH FOR PRISON ! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO 🌊🇺🇸💙
Calm down, take your meds, get some sleep.
AND GET RID OF NANCY PELOSI !!!
even if he is in a nursing home, that’s not his cellar
Lol
@Mr Random Hope you like surprises trolltard….
Donnie is incompetent irresponsible corrupt and liar 🤥 Former VP Biden know the job and the United States constitution Donnie NOT. It’s basic if you’re the commander in chief.
@Linda Scott You mean the Germany and Korea whom depend un us to buy their exports?, you don’t know who economies work you just think everyone over there is a leftist like you , but nothing could be further than the truth and Germany is about to go into austerity last I checked
@Linda Scott heres a cold hard truth for you. In the world economy of today if the US were to sink to 3rd world status the rest of the world will follow. Wars will start. No body will come out on the upside.
@turtleark ?
oh yea. Hunter Biden got a job on his own competency and merit rather than due to the fact that he was corrupt joe’s crackpot son. Biden sent 150 Billion dollars to Iran. And sold the country to China. Indeed he is the right man for the job.
patricia white @ and the children of donnie what is the level of study? what merit do they have? so don’t come tell me stories thank you.
Wear a mask and stay away from people who do not… not just 6 feet away… 6 miles would be better…
This is a man made virus released by China with the blessing of the American deep state as a bio/eco weapon with the intent of crashing western economy…It is not nearly as dangerous as the MSM is making it seem to be…It’s about a transfer of power and wealth from America to china and imposing more and more control on the American people…Keep drinking your cool aid or stick your head in the sand……………
Oh God have anyone of you seen the effects of COVID-19? Essential workers have quit their jobs as a result of being positive and this is after years of working in Groceries and Warehouses 😳😳😳😳
@Kenny Michael Alanya ya a .03% mortality rate is really dangerous…now have some more kool aid and believe what your higher ups tell you to think…This is nonsense
@Kenny Michael Alanya Yes I have… some did not know they had it… some who should have called in sick… some just trying to feed the family… the common theme… if they had have been wearing a mask , this crisis would be over…
@Blackjáck Music
Kids can carry the virus and without effects but pass it around their parents, uncles grandparents or care givers.
Some have underlying health issues for example diabetes.
Now let’s talk about that. What’s the percentage of them that that will likely happen.? Its frightening. Look at how many Americans suffer from diabetes today 😞. I can’t . Its sad
Go get him joe show him how it’s done
@Fredrick Conley Yup, that and UV light.. both being researched at this very second… what else ya got?
Try to learn for yourself, not follow blindly
Fancy Nancy “The President wants you to inject bleach into your lungs”…. WOW… she is awful
It’s like weekend at Bernie’s meets the democratic election. If you look close, you can almost see the person propping him up in his basement.
What assaulting women
@Fredrick Conley oh yea – no wonder he bragged about firing the man who was an obstacle to Hunter Biden’s competent job. No wonder he sent 150 Billion dollars to Iran. No wonder he sold the country to China.
@patricia white You dont want to play that game with me ..you dont want to compare wrongdoings..do you? …ok…how about a president Trump..who asks the leader of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden over the telephone?? ..how about a president that has had 25 woman accuse him for sexual harassment (and some termed it as sexual assault)…how about a president that has a very loving and great relationship with Putin..who helped Trump win in 2016 because of his meddling in our elections. ..How about Trump blessing the Korean president..who happens to be a murderous dictator..lol the list goes on and on…Biden is a saint compared to Trump..whether u like or not…I’m guessing u dont like it 👍👍
If you are dead, you don’t get to go back to work!!!
@Daniel Walsh Well Daniel…here’s the problem with your bulls!t “Facts.” First of all the CDC states that 80% of all CV are with the elderly or over 65. Right now we are finding out through anti-body tests that Hundreds of Thousands are suspected to have had the CV and didn’t even know it because they had No Symptoms. More likely than not, that number will be in the Tens of Millions. That alone will drive down the “Death Rate.” Worldwide, 98% of CV cases are considered Mild. In New York City, do you know how many deaths there have been ages 0- 64 with out “Underlying Conditions? Well, I will tell you. 68. Contrary to what you and a lot of the “experts” state…this virus does not live any more than seconds in sunlight and warm air. One only look at my county of Orange County, CA. We have had 45 deaths during this entire CV outbreak. 45. About 13 per Million. Why do you think that is Daniel? Maybe it is because we have one of the healthiest populations in the Untied States and our weather is not conducive to airborne transmission. Do you really think that 993,000 people will die from this virus? If you do, then your are either a liar or a panicked, fear mongering coward. Either way…why don’t you just crawl back into your bunker and wait for your apocalypse to past. But I do have one more question for you. We now have 30 Million people who are unemployed. That number will only go higher. What will you and the rest of the sheep tell the Ten’s of Millions of people who no longer have money for food or shelter? Most likely nothing.
what are you gonna be saying 6, 9. 12 months from now when we cant buy what we need bc there isnt anything. The govt can only make money. They dont produce anything. We are going to see empty shelves like we have never seen before. Its gonna be ugly.
@NDFOOTBALL exactly
@Margo Romero get a life
@Tony Thomas welcome to wat the demswant Okla most states are infested we barely are shutdown we have less than 3000 had maybe 100 death if that .out 3 million people
I hate that republicans keep leaving democrats a destroyed economy. I felt sorry fro what Obama was left with and the republican monopoly of mass media , Sinclair Group, criticized him everyday for fixing the economy.
Since Reagan, Republicans have increased the debt by overspending for “mandates”. They don’t know the 1st thing about balancing budgets nor paying off debts.
@Marie Light In my book, I stress that the republicans caused the 23 trillion national debt by following the John birch model of giving tax cuts over 40 years when the budget wasn’t balanced. We had to borrow into the national debt to balance the budget.
@David Clark I will do some reading on that as I’ve been interested to know the foundation for this Republican policy.
The way the situation is currently being handled has no chance of success. Playing ” whack-a-mole “, with this virus is just plain stupid.
The fact is they are protecting their power. They got surprised when Trump won. They thought they could keep the outsider out. Now he’s in and they are leaving no stone unturned to get him out.
No it’s the people that are stupid they just won’t head wronging from the experts the US will get reinfected it will be on them If their family members get it ..
@Leeanne Bishop : States like NY will almost erdicate the virus,but it will get reinfected by people from other states.
Are you a Medical Dr who is a epidemiology expert? Please stop being part of the problem and be part of the solution. This is a crisis not a vacation!
Many Americans have a IQ of 70 and below/ elderly, mental health people and the welfare system people. Their must be a plan that is not too complicated for people to comprehend and execute. As it is so many people are NOT social distancing and washing hands. “STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES ” Forest Gump….
@SJM Indeed it is a much bigger problem, mainly because of the way Trump mismanaged it. H1N1 and Ebola never grew into bigger problems, because the Obama administration contained them very early on.
Trump tried to handle the covfefe virus issue like it was a political problem, instead of handling it like the potential monster it was and ultimately became.
Perhaps if Trump spent more time addressing problems by solving them, instead of looking for someone to blame them on, things would have gone differently.
Thank you Mr. Vice President for bringing back compassion and love of neighbor. May the Lord bless and strengthen you. Rest and be the elder that you are; with your leadership we will help. You have a good heart!!
Why didn’t they ask him about when the accuser’s mother called the Larry King Show? 🤷♀️
@Leo TRUMP 2020. BIDEN NEEDS TO BELIEVE ALL WOMEN LIKE HE SAID.
@Gabriel Chalupa Because MSNBC Mika aunty was just acting. It was a fake interview paid by the DNC
He did none of what you sad !
Except for how he sexually assaulted that woman and groped children in public.
He needs to slow down a bit instead of rushing through what he has to say.
patricia white he has a speaking disability stuttering, so he actually pretty quick to maneuver around the disadvantage to his advantage. Context, it’s all that.
patricia white
You have dementia? TDS? You drink Lysol?
@Lu Guy no he actually did not have a stutter in his early days as a politician. So idk why you believe everything ppl tell you but watch his early videos. No stutter, strong in debates. Just admit he is suffering mentally, it comes with age, theres nothing wrong with that….besides ppl are voting for him to run their country???
Real Talk A shutter is a shutter, my brother has one, it’s hard work on his part but he can seem flawless one day then the next day it’s super challenging. Biden has had it since childhood, it’s not something that you get later in life but am sure it becomes much harder to keep it in line. But, if you hate Biden, you’re being a typical American who can’t see straight because you live a life of hate and anger, rather then love, compassion or empathy which equips insight so one is emotional healthy and balanced. Rational mindset is not taught in this country, so how can there be justice, honesty above subjective “ opinions “? Objectivity, is lost.
@Lu Guy defend the stutter all you want. He didn’t have it until he was older…hence the old age playing an affect
Need to get reasonable Independents, GOP voters, and very important, Bernie supporters on board to vote BIDEN! Whatever faults Bernie has (who doesn’t have faults?), Bernie needs to be applauded & his supporters provided solid concessions to their needs:
• Universal health care
• Minimum wage legislation that prevents people from opting for several jobs
• Gun-control legislation with ‘teeth’ (ban semi-automatics)
• Properly tax the obscene wealthy 1%
Agree @steven hanft. But I doubt Biden will. And if he doesn’t I will not vote for him, especially I believe Tara Reade. — The DNC, NYT & MSNBC must assume people who dislike Trump will vote true blue whatever we do. That would be a mistake. — Indep. from PA
@Asta Noel me niether get xicease under control be closed forever 😂😂😂😂😂I beginning to think cnn and Dems are our enemy
Steven Hanft no, you will not take our guns
Just remember baby strange things that pop up it’s only because it’s a election year
Remember your grandma who never got over living thru the depression? You are gonna find out first hand why that was.
VOTE BIDIN 2020.
So true! I now have very much more respect for my grandma washing out her ziplock baggies, I always told her I would just buy her more don’t bother. She saved tin foil and almost anything she could. Bless her soul, I Love her.
THAT’S NONSENSE.
I never knew my grand parent wasn’t born then, my other grand parent was to young to know
So Tara Reid is a Russian sympathizer, which all makes sense now! She is in love with Putin? When I read what she wrote, it all made perfect sense! The russians are really trying to take out country!
I like that he said the same focus should be on a person’s mental as is they physical 👍🏽
And your focus should be on learning to form sentences.
@Luke Stephens You are talking about Trump….right? 🤣😅
@Luke Stephens I never said I thought he can run the country.
@Billy Cole Pelosi, schiff, schumer and nadler will be running the country as usual.
@Doc3d Trumpies don’t know how to enjoy anything unless they are drunk.
Those protesters sure have a lot of free time, maybe they should go start working for Tyson meat company. They’re hiring right now.
Nooo they need to get a hobby and be patient
@Leeanne Bishop they’re hobby is the beach, they’re rich they live by the beach they want their playground to be open at the expense of other lives. What matters is what matters to them.
@Redwood Madrone Democrats are the ones who like a “welfare” country free food, free education, free healthcare, free everything – for ILLEGALS I mean – their “votebank”
@patricia white yet California being Democrat has the highest GDP.. get out of here with your bologna. Democrat state maintain the rest of you.
@patricia white Patricia, I respect your beliefs very much but you couldn’t be further from the truth. Do your research on what I’m about to say.
1. Undocumented individuals cannot vote.
2. They pay billions I mean billions in taxes every year. Most of which they do not claim.
4. They cannot claim any food stamps unless they have a child which is a citizen but the food stamps are intended for the him, the citizen child.
5. California has the highest GDP which means it’s the hardest working state. So take your head out of The homeless population.
We have the greatest agriculture, most of the food you eat comes from here. All your technology, Apple, Google Tesla, Facebook, and even Trump’s favorite app Twitter is Californian. The Hollywood movies that you sit down and enjoy with your family, yep Californian. You don’t have to agree with California’s lifestyle, That’s the beauty of other states. But you should respect the fact that California is part of your life, and in a good way.
This Woman have an Agenda, Why Don’t she came out a d say something when Biden was Pick as Obama VP?? Something smells.
page Turner 1993?? She makes allegations now? Yes, something “smells”…Perhaps Trump paid her like he paid Stormy Daniels….? Trump tried to get leader of another country to make a false allegation against Biden…..I’m sure he could find someone that worked for Biden to make allegations. Some people will DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY! I’m a woman and I don’t always believe what every woman says….
@RR Well said.
@Spencer Coonway She filed a police report a few weeks ago
Oh you mean the Blasie Ford woman who was drunk and did not know apples from oranges?
@page Turner Only Biden believes all women and of course the Democrats.
The DNC would rather lose the election than run with Warren or Bernie.
The voters chose Biden, not the DNC. Blame the two party system, it represents nobody well. In a well-designed representational democracy, there would be a soc-dem party for Bernie voters, a centrist party for what are now the establishment Dems, and the far right who have now taken over the GOP would have enjoyed their 25-30% tops like they do in many European countries. Or probably less, since with greater emphasis on welfare state there would be fewer poorly educated people to propagandize into defending the interests of the super-rich.
I like dems but joe is slipping -wrong candidate
They are fine with warren – the habitual liar but Bernie they know he will not be their puppet. Biden will be a puppet
Trump is so unpopular that even a ham sandwich would garner more votes than the failed president*.
*impeached
Please Mr reporter stop with the “uh” between every word.
I suspect that Tara Reade was asking for it. Biden was a stud when he was young, and women like married men with power.
Myndir Lmao well, she learned from the best… Christine Blasley Ford 🤷🏼♀️
I like joe but he’s too old for the white house – wrong candidate
