Bolton’s Valiant Effort To Get Trump To Release Military Aid For Ukraine | Deadline | MSNBC
I can’t believe that we are heaping praise on this warmongerer. Stop it… this is the same guy who’s go to option is always war.
@Crimdor I thought Trump was from America and just like every American except the native Indians we are all originally from somewhere else. You are right the Pilgrims came killed the land oceans and air, and then called themselves civilized.Oh then go everywhere and sell weapons to both sides such beast.
@Igor Jajic please what has Trump done for the Republicans except divide the country Trump supporters either r the very wealthy, or the most racist, or both.
@Bruce Boring it should be time for your soy milk and avocado toast.
Wow, some common sense…. just remember who’s pushing all of this on you, the Left Media!
Along with all of their other lies, the media is controlled by the true elite.
Here is an example to show you who the real bad guys are, the World Socialists. Do you people not even know what a Neocon is?????
A Neoconservative is a Right-winged-Leftist, they came from the Left and hijacked the Right to use force to push their Leftist ways, pro-UN, pro-Federal Reserve, pro-Gov, pro-Globalism (NWO) etc.. etc…. it is all just to control the populations, the more government, the more your life is totally controlled.
This is weird Cheney and a total Globalist manipulator are best buddies.

If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.

Some even believe we [Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – One World, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

Time to start researching what is right in front of you.

The wicked will always turn on one another.
Look black folks, it was said that if Donald Trump was removed from office, it will be a Civil War, literally. Their are White Supremacist out there who have tweet to Donald Trump, that at his disposal. They have a Militia ready to be activated at Donald Trump requests. Ready to go to war. If and if that happens, do you realize what that means. A warning to all black Republicans distanced yourself from the Republican party. The whit man think we all looked alike. So watch the signs signs signs.
That’s true! And fits in nicely with “everything tRump touches dies.”
Corruption will never make,any country being great again.It is about fighting the corruption.
There’s no honor among thieves…
You wanna take in how much they have done to shut out ordinary people from taking space to forge their own frontiers and to hog for themselves all new riches in natural resources, land development, agriculture, transport, and control of administrative process over it.
Do the right thing Mr Bolton and tell the full story. Truth matters
I’m tired of these sideshows… the American people are watching and their patience is limited. Bring in the good stuff, Bolton, Pompeo, Pence and, if he has the guts to appear, Trump himself.
Love the name LOL
Listen, you have been listening to the truth if you were watching the hearings. I can’t believe you libs. You just don’t give a dam. You listen to this crap on MSNBC. Come to the party.
@Reinhard Bolton’s testimony is not necessary for rational, intelligent people who are capable of putting the pieces together. His truthful testimony, however, might force the corrupt GOP to do the right thing.
@Tellthetruth n/a But not everybody is rational and intelligent. I think a lot of people really believe all this garbage coming out of the orange including members of the GOP. But he is a liar and it was very clear when Homes put out the numbers how much the EU is paying ($12 bill since 2014) to Ukraine and how much the US is paying (just $3 since 2014). And still this guy is running wild in the world lying about everything (everybody is treating the US so unfairly) and extorting everybody based on lies. So how to counter that? Maybe help people to make up their own mind, educate and especially espose the lies.
It takes an extremely evil assh*le like Trump to make someone as evil as Bolton look like a good guy in comparison…
@Reinhard Last few days, Bojo was trumpeting his “Canada deal”, which is non-existent…. Astonishing that he and Dumpy seem to act in tandem, like teenage girls on the phone deciding what to wear to the party!
@Elaine Daprano This stuff keeps on coming, it’s incredible. I didn’t know about that. Today I read something about how the US-Administration is destroying the WTO, I suppose as an obstacle for the Trump-Administration. It seems to me that this Administration is trying to extort everybody. That’s the US foreign politicy at the moment. To be honest it feels like sort of Mafia style and it’s going on everywhere: Irak had issues, North Korea mentioned it, etc. I cannot support that. And I can now understand Boris Johnsons comment saying: “It’s probably not America great again but America alone again.”
Crimdor funny you mention hunter Biden’s work experience making him not fit for that job while Trump is a lying moron sexist pig who lost billions of dollars due to his Business failures. Tell me how he is qualified to be the most powerful man on the planet?
Reinhard do US foreign policy under Trump is basically exactly what Russia would want. Build a wall between US and Mexico just like Russia built the Berlin wall. Leave Syria so Russia can feel the vacuum of the void or power.Right before Trump decided to remove Syrian troops he conceded a $5 billion arms deal with Turkey to Russia.
🍻
The GOP has chosen their path. Even if Trump kills a child on live TV, the GOP is with him. Period.
with donald trump he thinks he is above the united states like a king i believe he is living in fantasy. land.
Crystal wants to know what the baby did to deserve being killed on TV?
@David Schlessinger It’s enough of a reason to demand a better education system.
If you have the means you have the right to what you want or need. That is what the well off deem as the rite to life
You’re right Trump killed children at the border and got away with it. Trump & Jared blackmailed Saudi Arabia for money for the murder of the reporter who was killed in Saudi Arabia. And how about the way Trump rallies on hate, prejudice, and dividing the country. And before you know it one of his followers have went out and committed a mass shooting. Trump has a lot of death under his belt, and not a bit shame of it. He has no empathy for anyone.
I wouldn’t depend on John Bolton, if I were you.
Jay S try this out too
MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN
BENEDICT DONALD 2020🇷🇺
@Kathleen Mitchell I agree that this is bigger than most want to admit. Trump has been actively following the steps of a dictator. Appear like a strongman, discredit the press, dismantle institutions. Now, once again disregarding the Constitution, and the worst part is the Republicans defending and supporting this. Violating their oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. If he is allowed to get away with this, what next? And everything he does concerning foreign policy seems to benefit Putin.
A total coward.
If Bolton cared about the country he’d be testifying now, not holding out for book profits.
Let’s see what is the most important issue, the safety of the country or money on his pockets 🤯😤😠😡
abel hawkins “testifying”… this is going nowhere and the networks don’t even care bc they know
Puttentane Same You too are exactly the reason I vote against whatever you want.
And wouldn’t it have been nice if Adam Schiff would have allowed the Republicans to come Hunter Biden. We want to know why he was getting $83,000 a month from some gas company in Ukraine while his father was vice president.
No praise for Bolton until he does the Patriotic act and testifies without any conditions.
@Sancho Ditherson ..You lost me at “Trump is too SMART”…..ROTFLMAO!!! I guess it’s his HUGE BRAIN and BIG BEST WORDS he uses…..Trump is basically a TREE STUMP with a bad Comb-Over…
Hunter Biden should testify to but for some reason Democrats are afraid of that.
@James Irving is Romney retiring or just afraid of facing the electorate after this fiasco?
@Jay Muller …What did Hunter Biden do??? he was one of 24 Board members of a Gas company…TOTALLY LEGAL….It may have looked inappropriate but there was nothing SHADY about it….Christ compared to what Trump’s 3 Little Pigs (Ivanka, Jr, and Eric) get up to??? LOL!
Bolton doesn’t want to testify, but that giant caterpillar on his lip does.
Gordon Sonderland won’t be serving at the “Pleasure of the President” much longer.
This rich wannabe . . . much like Trump . . . lacks courage. He’ll sacrifice his million-dollar-donation quickly to avoid the threat of prison.
He’s not going to jail for perjury to save Donald Trump . . . if he can avoid it.
He’s even implicating Bolton, his boss. Bolton *will be testifying at the impeachment trial* . . . if not this inquiry.
Hahahahaha!! Yes! The Caterpillar known formally as the pornstache in Bolton’s younger day may need to come out of retirement and put a final clamp down on Trumps guilt 😀😊😊
Trump: I’ll take none of your lip!
@Peter Hallett
If I wanted any lip from Trump, i’d scratch my balls.
He looks like he is not happy with the administration he works for…..
If Bolton withholds his testimony, he is a traitor to the United States of America, committing treason by withholding the information we need to get rid of a treasonous president
He won’t
@Gym Jordan’s Hair As he should 🇺🇸🇵🇷🇮🇱
@Bobby Babylon All of canada has Lead Pipes it’s hilarious and true asf what your saying
If Bolton is the patriot he claims to be he’ll testify as Trump is a grave threat not only to the US but to all free nations.
His book is coming out in a few months and he wants to hold off and not give anything away. He’s cashing in too.
Have you watched the hearings? I am a Dem but there is no shred of evidence there was any wrong doing by the president. But on the other hand, you are one of three listening to MSNBC. Get smart.
Quid pro quo = Giving or doing *This for That* – As in Bribery & Extortion. It’s that simple. Regardless of confusing word salad being scattered by Trump, Jordan & similar village idiots.
@Pete fl oh, sorry, I summarised the the wrong one of my comments. In the comment where I directly replied to yours, my point was that it is a waste of time trying to convince a dug in idealogue. I was agreeing, using probably more words than necessary, that “life’s too short” to spend time talking to a Trumpist.
I tried talking to him, and all I got was an insult.
@Mikey R No problem, Trumps a degenerate ignoramus totally devoid of a moral compass and as we have seen capable of anything no matter how low. That says a lot about those who support him, just tell them that.
Bolton’s failure to testify will brand him forever as a Trumper.
@adamf663 That’s the awesome/scary factor in all this. Bolton is going to see DJT in jail.
@Toni sumblin if he wanted to protect the country he would not have signed on with a KLAN admin
@Halina Bemben The others testified anyway because they are true patriots. The crooks at the top like Giuliani, Pompeo, Barr, Trump, and Bolton don’t care about America.
@Patricia roe All mustache, no balls.
@Tellthetruth n/a republicans are cowards . it’s about the right thing to do . Protect the American people not the President that is so corrupted like I have never seen before .
I never imagined a world in which Bolton was the reasonable one in any situation.
Ahh, the irony! Trump’s fate finally sealed, by of all people, Bolton!
SWEET!
The Lesser Of Two Evils!
disgusting tacky weak “democrats” waggin’ their tales for “mr. bolton”. gag reflex full throttle
@pc Wah wah waaaah.
The president of the USA is a traitor it is surreal
@Bruce Boring trump is the man that is saving the world from the deep state war thugs and pedo s . Open your eyes
My bad I’m new to this
@theodore chondros teddy you’re the comrade here putins teddy you spouting from the Kremlin there tedovski
True
When John Bolton is the good guy, we are in deep deep yogurt.
UNFLAVORED YOGURT!!!
Deep deep doo doo indeed.
I can’t speak to his history I am not aware. He wasn’t necessarily the adult but he knew what should and should not happen standard operating procedures. Everyone else is too unaware to know what to expect.
#sad
@Virginia Evans Based on past events and remarks. I’m thinking he didn’t pucker up for tRUMP and that’s why he departed. The orange coward stated that, “he had made some mistakes”. Now what does that mean coming from the mouth of a pathological LIAR? The world may SOON KNOW if Bolton testifies.
Haha, yeah. However, I’d prefer a war hawk over a corrupt criminal every day of the week.
“Wreckless, ignorant and uninformed President… ” Yep, that just about says it all
The problem is it’s difficult to know where to stop. Inept, petty, vindictive, tactless, infantile. On and on…
@LasVegasGames I hear ya. Narcissistic, wanna be dictator, hipocrite, etc…
Wouldn’t call him wreckless, he’s wreck-ful. And reckless, too.
When John Bolton is the adult in the room then your ministration is truly screwed up.
Lol
Super facts!! Surprised he didn’t bring a tank to the meeting
IF TRUMP DOES NOT GET IMPEACHED YOUR PRECIOUS CONSTITUTION HAS FAILED AMERICA!
The republicans have failed the country. They are ignoring the constitution and it does not appear the president ever read it. Heck the dunce thinks the emoluments clause is fake news. So perhaps the constitution is obsolete and we need something better now.
That’s correct! Don’t rub it in.
@blob darkass what I am saying is , that the constitution does not offer a remedy in the case of people being dishonest and dishonorable as the repugnitants have been
MosesPlays I appreciate the clarification. Despite the ideals in the constitution, the frame work cannot stand against a massive widespread corruption of its people. The constitution sets the standard, the people effect its success. The failure is not of the constitution, but of the people not abiding by it.
The constitution works. Just because he didn’t read it or doesn’t understand it, the constitution works. It is THE law. And trump is going down. The truth is coming out. What is so hard to understand?
As the Left pumps up a Neocon and speaks of his “Valiant effort.”
You people fall for this crap? You’ve been sold.
MSNBC isn’t “the left”. It’s a centrist bubble.
Valiant? He’s just as bad a Trump until he testifies!
