Chuck: Trump Actions Cannot Be Swept Under The Rug; 'He Is The Worst President Ever' | Rachel Maddow
GOP: The party of unaccountability
Who would have thought a party filled with malignant narcissists would stick to their lies regardless of the truth…..
I’m guessing you have , for whatever reason , an immense dislike of Donald Trump. He obviously did not suit your agenda. However just coz you do not like him you should think twice before accepting an authoritarian system handing out punishment with no proof. Those that gatecrashed the Capitol building are the only ones who should be punished. They did not have a gun aimed at their head to do it. They are adults. They are not little children who cannot make their own decisions. To punish Trump would be to start a bad precedent where people can be punished for something they said and not what they did and moreover where others actions can be used against that person/////
@marks marsh riiiiiiiiiight. Couldn’t have anything to do with months and months of inciement or call for a “wild” rally in DC on 1/6 and call for Pence to make up some way to steal the election – or else. I can’t see any evidence. Blind.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
you are easily fooled.
@marks marsh Do you think Charles Manson was unjustly sentenced in the murders he didn’t actually commit?
Hold them all accountable all for their actions, the people that vote for them are held accountable for their actions
Ted Cruz should wear orange suit soon
Disgracing Abraham Lincoln hardwork
@Vincent Richard THIS Republican party is an extremely far cry from the party of Lincoln. The difference is like night and day- Trump owns this abomination.
@JD when did this start? Would be interested in any dates or figures you might have
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Absolutely well said and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Accountability… Trump would do no less had he won… he would have pushed for the highest penalties for anything he could throw at his opponents and critics.
@Erik yep.. he deserves it many times over… at least times 420,000 plus and counting.. . he threatened to jail Pelosi, and Schiff, and other Dem leaders.. creepy… but projection is what he does.
It’s in his nature, he’s shown this many times. He cares for no one above his own interest . And would throw anyone under the bus . If it served his goals. A very vengeful person. Vengeful beyond reason . He’s shown this over and over. This is the same man who told cops they didn’t have to be so careful dealing with people they arrested. Who took all children from there parents at the border. Some of whom they still hold. He must answer for his action . And those who aided him.
You serious? He did nothing about Clinton after winning… He said he wanted a “healing process”.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
@Shekel Steinberg-Bernstein no, he wanted Hillary, Comey, Schiff, Schumer, Pelosi charged w treason… that was about the time he was being accused of bribery and treason…
BTW Ivanka is still crying.
Tasty troglodyte tears.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Totally agree! The absolute worst President of all time!
@D Floyd what? You seem very confused
@marks marsh yeah well he rode Obama’s economy for 3 years then destroyed it by ignoring a pandemic. Good job!
You’re just as delusional as our ex-commander and thief! Beyond politics…it’s unbelievable that anyone would support a known criminal!
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Cheeto Von Tweeto your special needs cult leader sausage wallet lost the election by a landslide! He obviously wasn’t law abiding enough to make it past one term. Obama did it in eight years! He has been a total failure at everything he has ever tried in his entire lifetime.
Anyone who pretends to not see how manipulative and incredibly deceptive Donny Dollhands really is has to be equally corrupt. There is no other explanation!
Chuck Schumer is right. There will be no unity if things are left as they are.
@Chase Austin It’s like telling a murderer “well what’s the use, the victim is dead now”, that clear it up for you.
@David Guelette everything with you people is comparing X to murder. All your statement solidified is you’re cattle. 🐑🐓🐖
The Democratic Party started the division
@Suck’N Hog Numbs NOT
Who says we want unity now on our side?
Great answer Senator. Now let’s see the action. Not political drama, but criminal prosecutions.

Contact your Senators and tell them to impeach and convict. It will effectively cancel him. Without the ability to run as a candidate he won’t be able to raise funds for his racist, nationalist agenda.
Well, I had better start looking up Senators numbers and start calling them. There can be no healing without justice.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
c j Trump is not a racist. Trump supporters are not racist or white supremacists. That is a lie. Stop saying it.
@cattycorner Not all Trump supporters are racist but I have Trump supporters in my extended family. I can say without qualification that they are racists. I also have black people in my family. They know racism when they see it and they believe Trump’s agenda is racist.
Does the law matter?
Does justice matter?
Trump must be impeached.
He has been impeached….twice. Now he needs to be convicted.
… Impeached and imprisoned!

@marks marsh It will definitely start a bad precedent if the con man is not held accountable for his crimes. If not EVERY American is entitled to use the same argument from now on.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Access the server where his calls with Russia, Ukraine, North Korea etc are held and see what’s there.
@yang gang crawl back under your bridge Toxic Troll
@yang gang Toxic Troll your input is less than a zero….crawl back under your bridge you Troll Freak
@yang gang Says the guy named “yang gang.” I bet you are a real tough guy lmao
@yang gang Any “rising” will be met with a crushing blow. This admin will not tolerate domestic terrorists, sorry to dash your hopes.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
TAKE NOTE USA – you need truth and accountability before you will be able to “move on”!

@marks marsh “….would start a bad precedent where ppl can be punished for something they said and not what they did…etc etc….”
Charlie Manson would disagree with this.
Schumer first has to make McConnell irrelevant. The turtle is still of a mind he has all the power.

@marks marsh “To punish Trump would be to start a bad precedent where people can be punished for something they said and not what they did”
You mean like how mob bosses and people like charles manson are held accountable for their crimes? Yea that precedent is already set and it works just fine. You can encourage and command others to commit crimes on your behalf and be responsible for the crime it’s self… that’s not a difficult concept to understand.
@marks marsh are you kidding me! Trump tried to punish anybody and everybody who ever disagreed with him! but I can tell that my words will fall on deaf ears because you have been drinking too much of the Trump cult Kool-Aid.
The grim reaper needs to meet his maker sooner than later.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Everything Schumer is saying is true, it’s so unfortunate republicans will look at this as a non issue and not vote to prevent him from ever attaining power again…

Also the only reason they want to impeach him is because they feel it will stop him running for President again but actually law says he will still be able to run for Presidency again [ impeached or not ] and with 75 million votes in the bank………
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
There is no justice without accountability.
@yang gang Troll Joined 2 days ago….toxic freak crawl under your bride troll
For either party.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
@truth hurts truth does hurt….comeback to reality…we miss you
@Ragnar Lothbrok he has a job to do now …because justice matters👮🏻♂️
2021 Justice is calling for accountability….No One is above the law,

marks marsh a lot like the cavenaugh trials, (Pardon my spelling) ya it’s creepy how anybody can be accused or put on trial just bc they’re disliked .i hate that so much .and that people never question it
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
The only President that turned our Capital into a crime scene.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
@Gory Bomb Trump ❤ 🤍 💙
@marks marsh No proof what have you been smoking, for once in is miserable life he should be accountable.
Capitol c a p i t O l
@Daniel Palma Apples and Oranges Dan
Might be asking for a lot but I hope every single person of authority involved in the capitol coup faces repercussions. I don’t care which side you’re on, its un-American. More so than any prior protests.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
All his pardons need to investigated.
How much did he sell them for?
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
He did not sell them.
@Jesse Hernandez Let me guess, Jesse. You are from a state where it is difficult or impossible to get an education, is that correct?
@truth hurts I suppose that the truth would indeed hurt you.
@cattycorner And how do you know this? It’s a matter that should be investigated.
If trump isn’t held accountable then someone far worse will come into power

That’s an overreaction. Have you seen how much demographics have changed in the last few decades? We’ll never have another Republican president again, especially after Biden gives amnesty to all 20+ million illegal aliens.
Trump ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
You’ve already got him, his name is Joe!
@3cool2beans1 True, Joe already eliminated 11,000 union jobs after most unions endorsed him. Whoops🤭
