Eddie Glaude: ‘What We Are Witnessing… Is An All-Out Assault On American Democracy’ | MSNBC

  1. Donald Trump will be one of those figures where future generations will fantasize about going back in time to assassinate. Much like people do with Hitler.

  2. Republicans are destroying as much as possible before their party can no longer get any votes because of their own policies.

    1. Last time I check Democrats are rioting and destroying this country Democrats are a disgrace to this country

    2. @Jeffrey Hagelin you might want to read that again….smiling…i’m not a democrat or a repblican…both parties ….. are compromised so i will let God handle it…he knows what to do……and will in due time…..

    3. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 The Pandemic destroyed ANY economic boom and donnie has no one to blame but himself for not steadying the ship. Instead of telling the American people upfront about the dangers of the virus and its EXISTENCE he LIED and LIED about it for months. We’ve lost as high as 40 MILLION jobs and TRILLIONS of dollars to an almost non-existent economy. All because Trump wasn’t prepared (he had THREE plus years to prepare for this pandemic. Obama and the experts told him about it and he didn’t listen and now the U.S. is on the brink of an economic collapse). Trump likes to blame Obama for everything and is attempting to do so with the pandemic. Sorry, next excuse donnie. You’ve had almost F-O-U-R years to get things in order with all of the warnings and predictions of a pandemic and what did you do most of that time?? Played golf (the MOST golfing president in history) and watched Fox News and ate buckets of KFC and big macs and not much else. As the president you need to juggle every and ALL situations that come your way YET he blames other people and NEVER takes responsibility, “….I do not take responsibility for anything…”.

      Biden’s tax plan is only the 5th largest tax revenue plan in the history of the country and is comparable to most tax increase plans given the fact that the PANDEMIC made that choice for us. Everyone knows that taxes would naturally increase and donnie likes to LIE about Not increasing them but they will naturally increase to make up the shortfall the PANDEMIC has caused. The increases will effect the HIGHEST earners overall for those making
      400,000 or more.

      You can’t even connect to this illicit information link you provided. Where is it and how do you confirm the information you just stated??

      4 Trillion dollar increase over the next decade mostly with household income earners making $400,000 and more and with business owners.

      TPC assumes the tax cuts would take effect in 2021. The highest-income 20 percent of households (who will make about $170,000 or more) would bear nearly 93 percent of the burden of Biden’s proposed tax increase, and the top 1 percent nearly three-quarters.

      Biden’s plan would first raise taxes on capital gains by treating them as ordinary income for those earning more than $1 million. On his website he said he would also raise the top rate on ordinary income back up to 39.6 percent from the 37 percent rate put in place by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

      What hiring boom are you referring to? Since donnie’s 2017 tax cuts there have NOT been a hiring boom to speak of, so, what are you talking about?

      Biden’s plan achieves what he promises. He’d raise taxes substantially, and nearly all on high-income households. The political question will be whether voters like the idea of a $4 trillion tax hike—even if most of them would pay little or none of it. .

    1. Lol I can’t vote for a senile old man who needs a teleprompter to remember what day it is and is always tired and rarely answers media soft ball questions. I might as well not vote at all

  3. America is being destroyed by a mad man !!! His Senate republicans are ALSO!!!!
    VOTE THEM OUT!!!💪🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😷

    1. MaL: C if Biden wins Iran would make the calls and this rioters will also make the calls lol Democrats are a disgrace

    1. @pc
      We have taped recordings that he knew in January the severity of Covid 19, he bragged to Woodward over it as if he had won something.

      Why didn’t he prepare for God’s sake ?

    2. @pc
      You’re very wrong princess I’m just as calm as a spring rain, cleansing the run off from the swamps.

      Can you say… “Lock him up ?”

    1. Donald Trump is the poor man’s idea of a rich man, the idiot’s idea of a smart man, the cowards idea of a strong man, the Evangelicals idea of a Saint, the traitors idea of a patriot, the liars idea of an honest man, the criminals idea of a friend, and the fools idea of a leader.

    1. @Patrick Hill
      #MAGA when 4 die in Benghazi: 🤬
      #MAGA when 2 die to Ebola: 🤬
      #MAGA when 209k die to covid19:
      “I don’t take any responsibility at all.”

  4. Trump: Let me know how the FAKE promise of Social Security $200 card goes ESPECIALLY BEFORE YOU GET RID OF IT. You are a a crazy fool

    1. You have never seen a president give people their own money back. That scares you? Vote Biden. Stock market crash. $7.00 gasoline. Mandated lockdown. There’s your social security.

    2. @Gary Quarty Are you blind? Biden , plans is a lot better than Trump. Trump presidency , is an experience . In our history. This is the worst president, i ever seeing.

  5. That’s easy! You don’t follow an unlawful order. Not even from the commander in chief. You cannot break the law.

  6. Part of the problem is way too many people thought “That can’t happen in America” as if somehow America is exempt or immune & didn’t have to be vigilant about protecting democracy. Well, we KNOW Trump supporters are going to vote, they’ve shown they’re loyalty to Trump not America. THIS is part of why it HAS to be by a landslide via the polls, bump the absentee ballots. Let the mail in ballots serve as confirmation. Unless you have NO other choice but to absentee vote, vote in person. Prepare & go. Let NOTHING stop you. For the “votes don’t matter” crowd, well NOW would be the time to prove that theory bcuz they literally calculate you not voting. Show up & show us. If you believe in democracy I suggest you vote Biden bcuz he no longer represents the Democratic party. He represents democracy & Trump’s not representing Republicans. He’s representing autocracy. If you think the wealthy controlling things is bad now… VOTE!

  7. Trump either steals the election or he goes to jail. It’s that simple.
    Does his behavior make sense now?

  8. Donald J Trump is like that abusive boyfriend, he spends your money, he lies to you, he cheats on you and blames you for what is happening to this country, but if just give him another chance, he can change and finish what he promised to do 4 years ago. People like Trump don’t change and given another chance he will definitely finish America. That you can count on it!

    1. Lynn Betts Humm, Professor google “Obama not supportive of Biden”
      The hypocrisy, right little one. Biden has as much chance of winning as you
      getting married. 👍

    1. @janeen harris I think the population is becoming more restless and .6% mortality isn’t enough to keep us caged….

    2. @Don Hardcastle if the US can’t get a handle on the virus, its people will be lepers internationally. Quarantine will be unavoidable if you want to travel.

    3. @janeen harris we’ve got work to do domestically…
      We have to rebuild our cities and erradicate seditionists within our borders before we can think about travel… Give it two years and we’ll be back…

    4. @Don Hardcastle somehow I doubt that. If Trump is re-elected America will become irrelevant in global affairs, just like Russia.

  9. Vote, vote early and personally, I don’t trust Trump’s USPS, take it directly to a county early voting drop off location.

  10. Someone said this:
    Donald Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court Judge.
    ” It’s like Rubber Stamps for lives. ”
    📜⚖️👩‍⚖️

    1. Some of these political figures… what ever Bob is.. they are actually talking about the United Nations constitution and not the American constitution.
