Despite Twists, President Donald Trump Saga Actually Just One, Big Scandal | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Who can, “honestly,” say that Trump has, “not,” betrayed America, costs thousands their lives, and made us almost a Pariah State? We are not to be trusted. Our allies get betrayed and murdered. And, out of SHEER ARROGANCE, they’re STILL AT IT! Full speed ahead! It’s Trump OR the Republic, America
“Yeah, but a wannabe dictator in Putin’s pocket is still better than a democrat.” -Republicans probably.
Also noticed Trump defenders and trolls are out in force, talking about “record low unemployment” and “prosperity” and a bunch of other talking points, like any of it exonerated Trump from selling us out to Russia.
@Juan Pablo Rojas my favorite counter to that is “and Bill Cosby was a comedy legend. It doesn’t excuse his actions.”
@Juan Pablo Rojas Yea man..I see them too..they’re desperate lol😀
Ash Roskell- How many lives have been lost due to beheadings, people burned alive in cages, people drowned in cages, children executed in front of their parents, families killed and wiped out under President Trump???
I think even in 10 years time we still won’t know the full extent of the corruption around Trump.
The only way we would know is if the democrats take all three branches of government and don’t do like they did in 2008 and say we are looking forward not backwards. If they keep the investigations going when the people can’t not rely of Trump to pardon them or the IG not holding them in contempt then they will have to tell the truth or take the 5th. I hope they keep the investigation going so that we can get full accounting of the corruption that this administration did.
Just like the truth behind 911.
Try 200 years !
There are many future PhDs in History to come out of this corrupt administration.
Because it’s even bigger than him alone. I believe Trump was onlyan attempt to normalize am underlaying relationship with Russia
All the dots lead back to one clear conclusion, Trump is, and has always been, a Russian asset. Because he’s clearly not an American asset.
@jutara Typical, he’s not responding to these documented facts. Proves he never took the time to do any research for himself, just accepted the “interpretation” of the report provided by good old Fox. All these folks who claim the Mueller report didn’t lead to anything are only showing that they didn’t read it for themselves and they have no clue about American policy regarding the prosecution of a sitting President. Ignorance and intellectual laziness on full display.
@Richard T LOL, I went to a WWE event and a trump rally broke out! Same intellectual content, vacuous but entertaining.
Here! Here!👏
@Richard T Those soy contracts already have been filled by two sound American countries and aren’t coming back. Period.
Final nails for the coffin@!! Soon President Pelosi!!
As much as i would enjoy the gop heads expolding, at a Pelosi presidency, i doubt we will see it. Honestly, at this point, we just need to make sure we vote the orange menace and his lap dog “pounce”, tf out of the whitehouse. Nothing else, as long as republicans continue to support him, can keep us safe from the damage he is doing.
🤢 better, but…
@snowflake liberal … Republicans aren’t protecting Trump (they are protecting their Donor’s interest.) Senators Represent the United States, not the Entitled Few. Call Each and Every Republican and Demand They FULFILL Their Oath of Office: “To Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States”.
202 225 3121.
@snowflake liberal 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
@Judith Smith, that’s right girl!
Makes perfect sense:
“It’s all just one big scandal.”
Yeah it actually does kinda make sense… This is just a theory but if Trump owed Putin and the Russian Mafia money before hand so he struck a deal with them to pay his debt and now our entire executive branch has been hijacked by the Russian Mafia and they are moving towards making this a facist state so it can be controlled by Russia… Wild I know but it’s possible 😅😅😅
@椰子刺し武蔵
Russia has always wanted to dominate/destabilize the Western World.
Daddy Vladdy must be so proud of his liddle’ Twumpy-rumpy.
lil Putin thinks he can get away with this. Russians always shoot themselves in the foot somehow.
For example : the poisoning in GB, the recent nuclear accident, Yanukovich, ukraine war( They banned from G8)
No money, unlimited corruption, petty maffia tactics and too much vodka are not a great mix for achieving world dominance.
First time his fat, dimpled, purulent rump has been called “liddle”. The Poot is absolutely beaming. Playing his balalaika right now and Chump is dancing.
If I was Putin the first time I would have sunk his ship after the first news that he might be a Russian asset…espionage doesn’t work without secrecy and cander
@Grunt TheRunt Isn’t that what Chump called his Russian children?
You must not have faith in your for me I there’s no collusion no evidence
… And yet all those facts said… REPUBLICANS storm the impeachment proceedings in SUPPORT of that nasty little Trump…
Vote them all out. Destroy the Republican Party
They were literally led by “florida man”….
It is up to We the People to un-seat these sorry excuses and elect genuine representatives. For years before Trump, they’ve been pandering to, “religious,” extremists and Big $. Meanwhile, since 2016, many more people joined the ongoing work to clean up and restore our elections/govt. Many chose to remain in the Democratic Party to clean up and restore it. While the Corporate Dems had a stronghold for some years, they now hold only the slightest majority-which continues to shrink. This is the purview and responsibility of the People. We can do this!
These idiots are just creating another smoke screen. They can actually have up to 74 republicans in that room asking questions, but then they really aren’t interested in finding out truth, because they already know that Fat Donnie is guilty.
Some people did something calm down. Re-election is inevitable.
Donald has always been and will always be a giant shi+stain on the underwear of America.
@G L well Trump is over 70 years old. Did you think he would be in a noxzema commercial? Trump rally November 1st watch it you’ll be glad you did
@Mitesh Patel Only Trump supporters. The rest of us are watching in horror & disgust.
Grody Locks- So what kind of Stain has abortion been on America? Over 400K lives snuffed out.
America doesn’t wear underwear… it always goes “commando”.
We saw today a cunning stunt by a bunch of stunning c ***s
Not cunning at all, just a bunch of weenies.
lmao😅😅😅
childrens?
A sad bunch losers who changed the rules when they held control of the House, now mad because the Send are using their own rules against them, you reap what you sow
my mind boggles and goes mushy watching this. Rachel is so good at summarising this.
Simon Wilson….I agree!! Rachel is awesome at explaining it all and making all the connections! Has she shown her board lately on where all the Trump administration people that have gotten fired or left? Or the stage is not big enough for one? lol!!!
When I heard that ‘executive privilege for two Russian mobsters’, my jaw dropped so far I still haven’t found it. I think it rolled under the sofa.
She is awesome, explains stuff in plain terms anyone can understand and connects the dots
YES!👍
So the current administration is essentially being run by Russian organized crime!
@Lapin074 one day I’m going to read the Mueller Report. You’re correct about the press conference. The good thing about the Mueller Report is that it is excellent documentation that is helping the impeachment inquiry. If Trump doesn’t change his way of politics or doesn’t resign, and he gets reelected, we are in serious trouble. Personally I don’t think he will be impeached because of the Republicans in the Senate. We will see.
Nadia Silvershine- Only in the minds with Trump Derangement Syndrome…
Hmmm…😱
That’s about as clear as it can be said.
@Mark Klein What is clear to you?
Hello..Executive privilage does not exist when there is a crime involved🤷♂️
Tell that to Ttump and his lawyers who have used executive privilege to protect Trump from all the multiple investigations into his crimes including the Mueller investigation. Remember Trumps lawyers wouldn’t let him talk to Mueller because he would perjure himself- as all innocent men do.
They are all rotten to the core from Trump down. No wonder Putin is laughing at the US now even in public. It is so shaming.
The sooner Trump leaves office, the sooner he goes to prison.
VOTE!
ddrose06- What about you? Will you be in prison for eternity?
Spoken like a true dimwitted cult member.
Don’t you get it by now, Trump’s never going to prison, we’re never getting justice, he n Putin are playing us, have been all this time, the more we go after him the further he gets away…
I feel like we’re living through a nightmare concocted by Donald Trump and his private mafia.
And that’s exactly what’s happening.
It was all concocted by Russia several years ago as the trump family became more indebted to them.
Now it appears a large chunk of the Republican legislators are also on the take in the form of campaign donations and receiving huge Russian contracts to build up industry in their states. And only god knows what all is going behind the scenes in the destruction of western democracy.
We really are so scary! This
his man is in Putin’s pocket!
Not feeling, we are!
Now how are you living in a nightmare are you in a concentration camp right now did you lose your job enjoy that tax break
America now turns it’s back on Allies 😳
Putin is now ruling America
Republicans left truth behind
Trump and the Senate is turning its back . Us the Demoncats are horrified we have to get him Out in 2020!
Pray for us!!!
In any case, there isn’t any privilege barring criminal activity.
America is at a turning point- The President is just the catalyst.
George Chylla- Do you know who wins this battle for the soul of America? You see it’s not a physical one…
Yes, I already thought so. Perhaps this corrupt Donald Trump was the best example to show everyone what can go wrong on false targets. And that you should never put such people in power positions because they poison everyone around them. hopefully the politicians and also the people in the country draw the right conclusions from this bitter experience. To unite and fight side by side against the poison from it and the damage that was put on the whole States of America, their allies and friends.
@Schelby LO What do you think people should be fighting for? Globalism?
Teaching Children they can change their gender? Abortion up until birth?
That government is the answer to what ails America? What is it you think we should be fighting for?
@Peter Weller Here is what the LORD says about *2 Opinions* 1st Kings 18:21-1Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions?
If the LORD is God, follow Him. But if Baal is, follow him.” But the people did not answer a word.
Then Elijah said to the people, “I am the only remaining prophet of the LORD, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.…
Don’t seem like White House is White House anymore but trumps crime House
John Conde my friend u don’t even know where I am from I am not in ur country and I thought Americans believed in freedom of speech or is it only when their speech agrees with yours otherwise u tell them to go back where they come from anyway America built on immigration maybe red indians would want u to go back wherever ur forefathers came from have u ever been outside America while new world out there my friend I am not from America just someone who’s concerned with what’s happening to it trumps taking it backwards and if u can’t see that then I feel sorry for u
@David M — exposing the Democrats for what, upholding the Constitution, doing there job of oversight, exposing Trump for the corrupt moron he is ? WTF
If all this is true Pres. Trump is a traitor and should be charged with treason.
The evidence of corruption & obstruction is clear as a bright sunny day. America is under attack ! Wake up we have to save our democracy.
@car. A I’m sure you’ll have a fake response anyway so just look at the source. All of them are paid by Libby’s
@Enid Mora Exactly, vote red.
Donald Trump will be indicted the second he leaves office.
Indicted for what are you talking about the Mueller report
After he wins in 2020 and when he leaves office in 2024 I will get ahold of you and we’ll see if he’ll get indictment
