Doctor: WH Coronavirus Response A ‘Colossal Failure’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Mike Pence isn’t a leader, he’s a cyborg who has to check with mother if it’s ok to talk to a woman. After he checks with mother, he gets plugged in for the night to recharge his tiny battery.
He’s a remote controlled robot managed by an insane 666-worshipping cult.
What do you expect from an administration filled with climate deniers run by a POTUS who will sacrifice public safety to save his self-image?
I think here would be a scripture from a Fake Trump Evangelical but they are no better than the High Priests that plotted to have Jesus crucified for threatening their power.
Expect a prayer in the WH when numbers of the infected begin to rise. All for show…
What country is this? He’s censoring scientific & medical experts? Do we have enough labs/tests, quarantine facilities, respirators, anti-viral medications to cover a country of 320 million people?! How will we distribute enough food & medication for everyone? This is why we require strong, mentally well leadership. Qualified professionals. Well managed universal healthcare.
ahh my first comment was censored. thanks marxist
leftist youtube but no im a peoud arizonian for life and a historian. god bless my president my great copper state of arizona and god bless america. commies should be thrown from helicopters
Nancy Beveridge Taylor 👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Kamchatka,The 2nd Pacific Naval Squadron. ok now we know your a troll.
Blocking the experts from speaking is very much like China.
the message: you are helpless. you need the government. you need everyone else to need the government. what else could we possibly need? self reliance? self informing? self governing? obviously, questioning the government and the experts and the officials and the scientist, should be illegal! that is dangerous! we cannot allow that! eveyone must OBEY!
@Crystal Giddens <<--- known Russian troll/bot. #fyi #ignore
Its the FOX news way , Telling people to ignore scientists & people with qualifications ( Because I guess science is liberal ?? )
I am asking myself am I living in the United States or some dictatorship? How can the white house just issue an order that these medical experts can’t speak freely? This is just unbelievable.
At least China has put up a much more decent job than the US. Building new specialized hospitals in Wuhan within a week, issuing city-wide quarantine and mass purchase of medical supplies across the world. Meanwhile in the US, the countermeasures are stuck between the political BS between parties and a severe lack of resources.
This is the United States of America, THIS IS NOT CHINA!! SHUT THOSE @-O’S DOWN!!!!
Just wow, the United States of America does not have test kits. Looks like a 3rd world country to me.
@Daniela dos Santos Silva Because they aren’t a popular destination. No one goes there.
@Bryan Broome 😂😂😂 right. I love american ignorance. That is why you elected Trump, by the way. Laughable. You know what COMMUNITY transmission means, by the way. Your fellow american didnt travel ANYWHERE and he/she was contaminated. Get your facts straight dude.
GodBlessUSA poor donald!
@Jeremy Backup Blah, blah, blah, because msnbc says so? Thought I told you to log off and get a job?
Jeremy Backup 👏👏👏👏👏👏
No public messages for any Federal entity without consent. Trump is beginning to look like a traitor to the American people. Even if for National Security. I don’t want to hear Trump or Pence’s own brand of Fake News.
It’s a global embarrassment that the US is not capable of having tests for patients!
Tests are useless.
We have 245 tests. S Korea is planning to test 200,000 people this week. By god we are winning!!!!
hung well UK has done 7625 test as of 27th Feb. Plans to scale up testing were on the national news yesterday. 15 positive so far BTW.
Make no mistake, Trump is a sociopath.
Trump quote from 2004, a response to a Larry King Live caller asking how he handles stress. Trump: “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter.”
Spoken like the true sociopath that he is. Trump meets pretty much every diagnostic criterion of a sociopath..
● Manipulative and Conning:
They never recognize the rights of others, and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
● Grandiose Sense of Self:
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
● Pathological Lying:
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.
● Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt:
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims, and accomplices, who will also end up as victims. ( Cohen, Manafort, Stone, Flynn) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
● Shallow Emotions:
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would usually upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
● Callousness/Lack of Empathy:
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
● Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature:
Rage and abuse. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
● Irresponsibility/Unreliability:
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
c t You seem to forget that there are two houses of Congress. Moscow Mitch has held up and will continue to stall every bill from the House of Representatives.
Yes, but your asking the whole country to change when it is We the people who run the government. Not the Democrats and Republican of The government. If a person is not working for our country. We should vote them out no matter the side.
When we stop fighting each other then maby we can get people who serve us and not them SELVES. Did you know that nacy Pelosi has been in office for 30 years. Any congressman who is in this long is part of the problem. We need TERM limits. We have to push for this.
There is a single word for Trump -Immoral…
@c t You do know republicans have been giving more power to executive branch under every republican president since Reagan, right? And what republicans are doing now is a blatant shining example of what they been doing for 30 years now. This is why appointing judges is so important, because judges play a role in determining gerrymandering and certain types of voter suppression! The problem is now worse, and when Trump ran he became the very stooge republicans seen to do their dirty work and do so blatantly, flagrantly and all out in the open…
Hopefully the coronavirus will be for Trump like Hurricane Katrina was for W. Bush.
“Heckuva job, Pencey!”
Nathan Baker : did Bush catch th dreaded hurricane virus?
Nathan, I hope you’re fixed.
Yeah, you would love that. O’Donnell would also. Have people die to disparage Trump. The SICK left at it’s best!!! Morons!!!
And tell me were there is a problem with Pence???
So if someone has coronavirus and no insurance or cant afford to pay for a doc visit…then end up spreading the disease everywhere, on the subway, restaurants, restrooms…etc…how can we even stop that?…Medicare for all is the solution! #bernie, #coronavirus, #med4all
What would that look like exactly? You are kidding right? Lol
@Joe Cool what is ur question exactly…about med4all…or the fact that ppl who dont have insurance are not able to see a doc to find out if they have the virus and will go unchecked
@Ali Nadhaif testing does nothing. Prevention and prep is key now
Impeach any virus!
it is in the hand 🖐 of the Lord 🦕🦖🦎🐍🐢
Pence will pray away the plague… He is connected with Jesus!
I think here would be a scripture from a Fake Trump Evangelical but they are no better than the High Priests that plotted to have Jesus crucified for threatening their power.
Expect a prayer in the WH when numbers of the infected begin to rise. All for show…
@Bigg X Wow! I am impressed (not really) that you know the sciptures so well… Are you a preacher?
@Tommy Vasec Nope, Im not gifted enough to do that, and it wasnt preaching. However I practice what I do preach. Trump will do a prayer on camera like he already has for show. Just wait for the virus to get out of hand. Then the show will start.
— Matthew 6:1
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
— Matthew 6:5
“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
The republicans healthcare plan is if you get sick die quickly.
Unless your wealthy .
It is now clear why Trump, after wanting credit for handling this crisis, has handed it off to Pence.
Mind blowing to think we have the best scientific specialists at our fingertips and we are not utilizing them for updates? WTF all I can do is shake my head and listen to other countries updates about the covid19 and where it is and how other countries are taking precautions etc. thankful most experts speak English. All the United States needs to do is have the best of the best in the United States speak with other countries best and collaborate viral infections-have no boundaries nor do they have all the phobias of the Pence/trump team. This is not he time or place for twiddle-dee and twiddle- dumb to be learning on the job pandemics take lives is a good start. Maybe we could get Nancy P. Or Chuck S. To start take your child to work days for a more constructive take your morons to work days. Which should have started the day after the election. trump would have been sooo overwhelmed and tired he would have quit 3 years ago.
Trump put Mike Pence because Trump has no clue what to do. This way Pence can take the blame.
yep
Watching Lawrence O’Donnell become increasingly unhinged week after week is the most entertaining thing on television. Bless you!
