Coronavirus Crisis Compounded By Disastrous Trump Admin Decisions | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Trump is disbanding his task force because even he can’t defend the lies anymore.
He can’t even make up enough to make it reasonable to continue the briefings have slowed too, you can tell each question is a surprise so he quickly shifts to belittling the press or just flat out refuses to answer at all but moves the subject focus to himself. One has to wonder how his son in law suddenly became so knowledgable on Covid 19 that he can criticize his “volunteers” 2 months ago Daddy dearest promised it would go away. Now its ten thousand times worse and the USA has lost 80,000 people to it. Trump is moving on because he does not want to devote that much time to something that he can not be promised will focus on him and his amazing accomplishments.
As I preached earlier tonight, if you think God is going to bless America when we have rejected him and put in anti-christ laws, statutes and ordinances on the books you are crazy. Look at Rachel Maddow, her people were destroyed with fire and brim stone because they lived ungodly, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, who are set forth for as an example of those who will suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. And you idiots listen to this twisted, perverted woman who has every characteristic of a God rejecting reprobate, spelled out in Romans Chapter 1?
kalbs89 Exactly!!!
@American Patriot Just so long as you understand that GOD was invented 2 million years ago by cavemen to explain thunder…You are a fukin nutcase
@OSKA You obviously don’t know the doctrines of Christ and my question is? What does than the liberal faction who know’s not God, follow and believe everything polar opposite of the doctrines of Christ? Their world view is based on the anti-christ doctrine. Liberalism is satanism in disguise and you the bottom feeders, the mind control zombie slaves, Satan’s army of Global Citizens are the Devil’s useful idiots.
Trump has created the most corrupt, inept, and dysfunctional administration in American history. Instead of surrounding himself with highly qualified principled experts, he has instead surrounded himself with a woefully unqualified staff of C and D list sycophants, roguish grifters, nincompoops, scallywags, and the most unprincipled neophytes ever assembled. And they are all swimming together in a swamp of moral turpitude..
Gary Cohn’s email describes what it was like to work in Trump’s dumpster fire of a white house before he finally had enough, and resigned as Trump’s chief economic advisor in 2018.
“It’s worse than you can imagine.
An idi0t surrounded by clowns.
Trump won’t read anything—not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing.
He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored.
And his staff is no better.
Kushner is an entitled baby who knows nothing.
Bannon is an arrogant pr’ck who thinks he’s smarter than he is.
Trump is less a person than a collection of terrible traits.
No one will survive the first year but his family.
I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I’m the only person there with a clue what he’s doing.
The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day.
I am in a constant state of shock and horror.”
Is this quote from a book?
Tylorian ,
Nice post. Wish everyone would read this. Some just resists facts.
Stay safe, be well. Vote
Imagine unironically believing this
No he moved into a place full of idiots left over from the last moron you morons voted in
David, you should write a book. i couldn’t stop laughing at them being called Scallywags. that’s a new one for me…I love Tillerson’s description the best and Dollermore has adopted it also, I think it’s the best…. M O R O N! & he’s a Traitor.
It’s not a question of “getting it” but a case of “caring about it”. I’m so angry that people have to watch the sacrifice of a nation of REAL Americans on the alters of GREED, RACISM AND CLASS DISCRIMINATION.
And what does racism have to do with this pandemic, or anything lately anyway? So far all I’ve seen is a word that once had powerful meaning being misused and overused and abused and now it doesn’t mean anything
Richard Parker you’re racist.
@Richard Parker Though I’m not gonna call you a racist just for asking this question, if the word really didn’t mean anything you wouldn’t have anything to complain about what you?
Why can‘t the employer just set up a testing facility?
That’s how we do it in Germany… at my work place, we have to get tested minimum once a week. If we have symptoms we can come any time in between and have to stay at home until our test is negative.
We are 400 employees, and only a handful of people from my work had corona so far.
Edit: we don‘t use swabs for testing. Because everyone says that there is shortage of tests and swabs… for the test, we rinse our mouth and gargle with salt water (normal saline), then spit 🤢 into a small container. That’s more efficient than the swab method
@thewanderandhiscomp Liberal logic strikes again- If you can’t stand to tell the truth then lie till you believe it yourself! Those Americans that were brought back were all quarantined but I guess you forgot to add that to the idiotic post you tried to sound smart in but missed by a mile! Don’t worry soon enough you will be able to look out of your basement window and see the short bus has once again came to pick you up and get you to your special classes.
@HyperDrive Ek no they were not quarantined the only people quarantined were from wuhna
Second he never really stopped flights
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/22/trump-never-actually-banned-flights-from-china-or-/
two weeks of “monitored self-quarantine so no they were no quarantined, they self monitored
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/1/31/21117655/coronavirus-us-entry-china
Second, the virus was already in america two weeks before the lockdown
As of april, 430k have come from china and not properly screened
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/04/us/coronavirus-china-travel-restrictions.html
How stupid are you, unable to use the Lovelace/Turing/Gore/Lee quantum device?
moron
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/science/new-york-coronavirus-cases-europe-genomes.html
The Virus in New York is from Europe
@HyperDrive Ek nothing was depleted moron
The virus didn’t exist when Obama was president
Second, how can material ben depleted when drumpf sent 18 tons of material to china in February
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-tons-ppe-china/
How stupid are you
@HyperDrive Ek the delusional state trump fluffers possess is amazing, you cant get more stupid
@thewanderandhiscomp I agree you can’t get any more stupid than to keep voting democrats that ruin city’s then beg the President to bail them out because they stole and misused funds that could have helped their citizens instead of hurting them. But hey stupid is as stupid does all you have to do is listen to a liberal lapdog like you and you tell on yourself. I would write a book to teach you liberals how to avoid being stupid but I do not have time to make a popup book with only pictures and you couldn’t afford it after you have bought your excess of meth with your welfare check there just wouldn’t be enough left!
the noise at 0:25: never heard a better summation of the correct reaction to trump’s approach.
I can’t stand Jared Kuschner, owned by the Saudi Prince. He is as bad as they come!
@Aaron Weiser https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/05/cbs-news-panics-takes-broadcast-staged-coronavirus-testing-line-fake-patients-project-veritas-expose/
and who voted him in?
Did Ivanka married Kushner cause she sees her daddy Trump in him? Closer together failed
@norm midnight i thought Donald sold her to the Kuschners.
@R. B.L. Slay or Die?
Trump’s entire family is taking advantage of his presidency. And they call themselves democracy.
@Stasia Spade Learn how to spell before trying to act like you know something.
These idiots are unbelievable.
@tbird90sc
You just described trump’s every defense:/ Projection thy names is trump trash.
@Game Shot
You should save grammatical corrections for illiterate president of unties shates:/ Oh, wait, you are a sub human with double standards of the size of Texas. Cages is only place trump trash belongs to.
@jeck jeck I left a lot of nasty comments here, but come you guys, how can you be so ignorant of the truth and believe everything the media tells you without looking at facts, and questioning their motives.
They attack Trump with logical fallacies every chance they get, it makes you all look very slow.
And to think there is so many of you.
Most of you can’t even spell.
This is not good, it is not good at all.
The reason they use logical fallacies is because they know half of the population is too dumb to even know what a logical fallacy is.
If you guys could truly see the amount of lies and corruption within your Government, then you would understand how important Trump is to your country. He is the first and probably the last politician who has not been bought, this is why the media and deep state attack him so much.
He may not be perfect, but he is your last chance to regain freedom.
You idiots…..
@Stasia Spade smdh first and foremost I’ll call that a lie in advance of the research because I’m going to assume it’s b.s. like that Russia gate deal was. Secondly for a billionaire you do understand that 8 million is barons 16 th birthday party money. You ppl are making child like arguments. Think about what you said with the reality of Trump being worth 6 billion dollars before he started as President with all the kids running their own business’s…you ppl sound crazy/unhinged as usual. Sleepy Joe cut a deal with the scarface of Ukraine and he sexually assaulted Tara in REAL life with OBVIOUS evidence but a Trump, the guy doing the best job as President in my life time, is the bad guy for risking his life to serve this country with no pay. What ppl are seeing since the lights are slowly turning on is the DEMOCRAT party being the racist, sexist, communists they’ve always been. Everything terrible they’ve Been doing for decades is getting a little more light shined on it. Trump and Barr are righting the ship that’s been thrown off course due to globalism. You ppl that stood for this tyranny will not be forgotten.
The whole world is looking on and saying… how could a “president” and an “Administration” be so stupid and corrupt?
We feel for you Rachel and all decent Americans, who wonder where this will end.
We worry when the mix of a polarised public with no jobs, no money, no hope and no gun control…. all come together.
Donny’s legacy for the US.
Grumbleback, Not only can’t you MSNPCs meme worth sh!t but you have to copy the Reeeee thing and you can’t even use it right.
KEK, Chortle, and Guffaw!
@yhwhzson suicide is not an option. But you have waved a red flag and I am concerned about you. Have you called the suicide hot line?
Trump will win again in 2020. Stay in your bubble. We Americans will support the finest and most successful President ever.
Because corruption in America became a way of life to getting rich. People here are so comfortable with it that all morals & values are gone…Even from those who use to be Christians in this country. You know the ones that come to America for religious freedom well they are part of the problem….their values left in trade for the all mighty dollars. HYPOCRITES!! What you will notice if you are following the virus. The so called Pro-Lifers are willing to let people die, particularly the Elderly…make you wonder about their Pro-Life values, Right….It’s all a JOKE…just like the Clown President.
justsaying… well put.
And it’s getting worse under Donny.
Visit Transparency.org to see the anti-corruption Index. Historical figures are shown.
more corruption inside the deep stat trump crime family
Corruption is endemic to the tRump crime family. They are career criminals graduated from tRump U. Actually, Donald has a PhD in Money Laundering and Fraudulent Bankruptcies.
LOL…….the old man has beaten you at every game.
Rachel I have never seen you this passionate over our lives, many of us thank you for speaking up for the people. We love you.
*Yep, Just when you begin to think it can’t possibly get worse….*
DNC Blog Jared Golem Kushner
Spot on
Keep watching MSDNC, they will always be here to spread fear to you. lmao.
And then along comes Jared!
Things you learn when you have been a diagnostic technician.Never think this is going to be an easy job.Never ask what else can go wrong.Because you will soon find out..Always have more tools than you think you might need for the job at hand.Never put your tools away until you are absolutely sure the problem is fixed.How would you say the US is doing right now.
And the ineffectiveness of Jared Kushner. Who didn’t predict just how awful this regime is?
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP get off your unicorn and drink your kool-aid
@newf newf Your misery is fine wine to me.
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP you’re too busy swallowing bs to drink any wine – & not my president anyhoo.
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP /
@B GY
America doesn’t need enemies to get rid of them. They have a president doing just that!
@thewanderandhiscomp fake news again
After this President is done doing his damage or exterior enemies are going to come in and clean up, or trylol
@Ariba la Chiva NO. trump!
@Dmitri Fukov Blue States are doing much better because the blue States are not rushing to open up their economy. Red States are just opening themselves up to more deaths from Covid19, and the stats are proving it.
amen to that
This how dictatorships begin.
@andrew mroz if it were already here you wouldn’t be allowed to say it.
@Adrian Vintila
The most successful President, not ‘present’. LOLOLOLOL
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP i meant to say present on both occasions. And given Trump’s handling of the present he is a mediocre president at best.
@Adrian Vintila
I suppose Cuomo’s shoving infected patients into nursing homes resulting in massive corona deaths is cool with you.
Oh it is here they have you locked up in your homes and are telling lies but you obey like the sheep you are
By Don the Con’s standard all the bogus tests “work”. “Work” to him just means that they can be sold at a inflated prices to desperate marks. There is no doubt that Don the Con has to be getting a cut of all of these crooked deals.
That’s what he wants, but, Al tRumpone won’t be able to control the tests market. His products are always bogus copies.
You are right to be so furious Rachel. Keep following the money. Stay safe folks.
40 million unemployed, 1.3 million infected, 72,000 dead, “nothing to see here, go to the beach” good luck America!
how many of those 1.3 million infected are billionaires and how many billionaires are going to work in crowed mass transit, riding in packed elevators and sitting in open concept offices with hundreds of other staff every day to make $16 an hour…
The billionaire class run the government and they only care about money, it doesn’t matter to them how many of us Precariat (YES PRECARIAT search it, and try to keep up people) DIE, as long as they don’t lose a percentage of their Billion dollar Dynastic Estate.
I am not going anywhere while these plutocrats are sitting safely at home.
@R. B.L. it is for sure that everything is different for rich people than the rest of us, Bill Gates, Bezos, Zuckerburg, they have no issues. Just like the rich Republicans in office and Fancy Nancy and her crew.
@Natasha Norman It is insulting that these same “super safe” politicians write back to work Orders for $14/hr meat packers even while we see serious covid-19 outbreaks in some plants, and on the news i have see workers state they don’t have any more PPE than before the outbreak in their work place.
If we pay police/firemen/rescue workers for danger-pay, then asking meat packers to go into a knowingly dangerous environment should come with increased pay, guaranteed pay if they get sick at work, and proper Covid-19 procedures at work to ensure a reasonable level of safety. Otherwise those billionaires can pack meat.
@R. B.L. I don’t have a problem with anything you just said. I have a problem with super rich politicians on both sides pretending to care. They do not.
@Natasha Norman I agree with you 100% Natasha. It makes me pretty upset to hear those politicians worry more about money, (the economy)and elections than about peoples’ lives.
How does Jared already look like an old gargoyle at 30 years old?
He’s a freaking sub -human Illuminati vampire is why!
He’s almost 40
He does look like night of the living dead actor
Because he is Evil.
When Jared looks in the mirror, there’s no reflection.
Seems like the government is choosing who’s going to die first.
Just as long as it’s not the rich.
