Figliuzzi: Trump Needs To Condemn Violence, Not Inflame It | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
There is no reward for TRUMP if we are UNITED! 💙🙌❤
GET out the vote for BIDEN.
Wait a sec. Trump is not dealing with the issues plaguing the Country
and he is sewing division and escalating things, he does not take the
lead or try to sit and listen to the protestors he suppresses them and
all the stuff he has been doing with the post office and more is
breaking his oath of office. That is a traitor and also by doing what he
did, he is basically abandoning his post. He isn’t our president
anymore if we can have the Supreme court look into it. Look into it
people anyone who take an oath and breaks it can be charged as a
Traitor. This is the 8th duty of his office
8. Chief Citizen
This means that the
President is the face and the “representative of all the people.” He
must be trustworthy and work for the public interest. He must also put
the nation’s best interests above himself and one person or one group of
people.
As Benjamin Franklin was noted as saying “Join or Die”.
What is Trump doing to America, he divides and deceives.
Trump is actively working to break divide America into groups of “with him” aka “Patriotic Americans” or “not with him” aka “his enemies” which he will use any demeaning term he choses for them at the time.
Swearing loyalty to Trump IS NOT patriotic. We DO NOT swear loyalty to leaders in America.
“I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.”
No where in there does it say anything about pledging allegiance to any person.
There is nothing in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights about swearing allegiance to any person.
What the pledge indicates that you are pledging that WE are “indivisible”.
Trump HAS shown his colors. He isn’t for US being “indivisible”. He mode of operation is to “divide and conquer”. He is running on dividing the country into two groups; those that have sworn allegiance to him and everyone else.
The Trump worshipers are just that. They worship Trump. To them, he can do no wrong.
They are zealots that blindly follow their leader because it is what they have been brainwashed to do by right wing media.
“protestors ” yeah right
@VidWatcher1X they should believe Trump! He has showed his true colors!❤
This is what you get when you put a total psychopath in office. Welcome to America, folks.
@Buff Straw Did they downgrade Mickey Mouse also?! Oh NO! Pluto:
Officially a mixed-breed dog, he made his debut as a bloodhound in the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Chain Gang.. Together with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy, Pluto is one of the “Sensational Six”—the biggest stars in the Disney universe. See how intelligint I is?
Patriot so you reply got deleted?
@Harold Moore about 4 of them got deleted after 4 re-posts
When you elect a clown… Expect a circus.
Patriot my late husband and I were Republicans. Conservatives are con artists. And now you’re a traitor.
What 45 is doing is unconscionable in that he is doing it so overtly. As Obama said, “he is not even pretending to be in charge”. He is unhinged and out of control.
From the point of view of the Trump family and his Cabinet, what alternatives are left to them? Either, be one of the first to defect to the FBI Lifeboats, or terrorise America on November 3rd, with their, “Militias,” at the polling stations. The GOP are a lot of things, but, “brave,” is NOT one of them. Expect those Defections to begin in the coming weeks. And MAIL your ballot, TODAY! You can’t lose if you DON’T PLAY!
YOU are your Republic’s last hope ✌️
He is Completely UNFIT for the office of President. VOTE!! Pay NO Attention to the “polls”. VOTE!!
AND what is felching GOP saying? Doing? Democrats?
@Ash Roskell Sadly in this case if you don’t play you can only expect to lose! VOTE BIDEN!
Listen trump if the police department’s want the respect back, they don’t need help from Vigilantes especially these right-wing morons that come to the cities that they do not belong in. They bring firearms and other illegal weapons to stoke the problems.
America is a joke and people can still vote for Trump? Ask yourself why we are failing at every single accpect of “freedom”!🙄 If Trump wins we will be no better than any other dictatorship!😣
@John Nordby
“National Registered Voter Turnout in Federal Elections” it’s a website, 2016 was the lowest % in 20 years.
@Hyuuga Kro
He LOST in 2016 by just under 3 Million, Republicans LOST in 2918 by over 10 Million. FACTS, not clueless assumptions.
Bear in mind that Russian Bots are also in play. 😠😈
Hyuuga Kro Not the riots or vandalism. What did Trump’s visit to Kenosha accomplish to help that city?
We will be better because we have free elections. Simple.
For his reelection Trump is willing to start another civil war.
Trump said he gets bored easily and he loves watching chaos ensue. He is a dangerous subhuman.
He’s tried to pick a fight with Iran that hasn’t worked out yet. War is the only answer he has to stay in office.
Then silicone valley will screw the internet service of these motorcade wannabes, and then what’ll they do? We have some of the most skilled coders anywhere. It’ll be fun. (“FB says we meet in Newport Beach, on the peninsula. Those antifa must be surfing the Wedge. Grr, let’s go!”…or…”Mom? What do you mean, where am I? Geesh! You saw me on channel 5 television? How’d I loo…My zipper? 😵 …etc etc!)
@Ginger Nightmare Yes, Trump is a warmonger, and he serves the devil. His orange horns are showing every day.
@birdlynn hubbard I thought his kids were the spawn of the devil, that would make him…
Donald wants a Civil War on his watch. It would deflect from all his many shenanigans. And it’s raw meat for his base.
@Cathie Ludemann Nekkid? LOL
@gypsy Sadly if he’s still in power he will just pardon his spawn. We are likening him to the devil are we not? LOL
@Sharon Rinkiewicz I personally think it’s being done at the bidding of one of his minions sent out by him for just this purpose.
@Arnold Fossman Yes, Satan’s puppet, DJT. Your right, Arnold, he will pardon his spawn. In Trump World, bad behaviour is always rewarded. It’s like the Land of Oz-what’s up is down and what’s down is up. I like your kitty cat!
@Randialena Anderson Sounds like a confusing yet beautiful place! Having so many bridges and back and forth traffic make it dangerous for Covid, I would think. Trump minions seem to be everywhere spewing their right wing radical b.s. You stay safe and healthy as well. Up here in Canada we have our own issues as well-you’re not alone. We are all in this together! Blessings to you and yours as well.
Hey, If Trump really wanted Hillary to go to jail
he should have just hired her.
😂👍🏼
Donny’s Orange Orifice is where good words like, “dignity,” go to die. Don’t ALLOW the GOP to terrorise you out of your Republic, America!
They plan a night of violence and terror, November 3rd, because the GOP are desperate, facing, “ACCOUNTABILITY,” for the first time in their lives! You can’t LOSE if you DON’T PLAY! Mail your ballot! Do it NOW! And TRACK IT! All the way! Then you’re free to Livestream, “events,” from a SAFE distance! Whatever happens, VOTE!
Boom 🎤 drop
Lol, there you go
Best comment of the day!😂
it is getting harder to tell
the difference between
isis and trump supporters:
the pickup trucks, the militant flags representing hatred, the assault weapons, the uniformity of clothing, the radicalization, the zealotry, the blind devotion to a false prophet, and the terrorism.
They are his “base”. His Al-Qaeda.
They are zealots that believe themselves to be superior to other Americans through their delusional, blind following of Trump.
They see him to be the Chosen one.
They have been brainwashed to believe that they are in a Holy War against the rest of the population of America.
its getting even more harder to tell difference b/w “protesters ” and terrorist
@Hyuuga Kro To make it easy for you: If they are doing violence they are Trump supporters and terrorists. There, now that I’ve sorted it all out for you run back to your little orange god and tell him how mean a true US citizen was to you. And if by some off chance that advice to you errors in where it’s directing you then run to Putin and cry to him that the nasty US citizen was mean to you. Either way I have made it clear that we are on to you here.
@Arnold Fossman so Antifa and BLM people rioting in streets are trump supporter? Why is that every time people keep bring Russia to everything its like an automated response from left for all their problem.
The way you tell them apart is that ISIS kills people. Trump supporters get attacked in broad daylight, sometimes murdered like Jay Davison or Bernell Trammell.
Trump: America is a mess! The guy running it must be a disaster so I’m voting for #JoeBiden2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
@Buff Straw You forgot this one: The “fake news” guy when there is video showing him doing just what the news says.
@Arnold Fossman I know, right? Don’t we watch it every day?
@David Hale ” The democrats could be the hero’s and stop these rioters and agitators. Couldn’t they ?
But they haven’t have they ? Even encouraged it.”
You still haven’t answered my question, David.
Which Democrats have “encouraged” the rioting and violence? Name 3.
Give me quotes, of exactly what they said. I can quote your Marmalade Messiah at length.
Here’s a few snippets of his genius:
“I have a natural instinct for science.”
“The kidney has a very special place in the heart.”
“You gotta take care of the floors. You know, the floors of the forest. It’s very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently, and it’s a whole different story. I was with the president of Finland, and he said, “We have a much different— we’re a forest nation.” He called it a forest nation. And they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem.”
(Trump, on why we need to rake our forests, to prevent forest fires)
“If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer. You told me that one, OK. [makes circles with his hands and a noise with his mouth] You know the thing makes so… and of course it’s like a graveyard for birds.”
Give me some quotes from some Democrats urging violence. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
@Elevated Status then move to communist binden china
TRUMP2020 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 not this pillow boy 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Vigilante justice is the opposite of law and order.
You don’t ask the arsonist to put out the fire.
#JoeBiden2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Are you referring to Kamala Harris, who told Stephen Colbert, “They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not.”? Seems like maybe they ought to stop considering how many people have died.
Of course, you don’t ask the arsonist to put out the fire. You ask the arsonist to go to Portland, Kenosha or L.A. and burn down MORE of America.
How strange he never suggests “giving back the dignity” to people of color who also feel unsafe, less than human, and that he cannot separate police brutality and supporting the cops who do care about protecting the public. He is a white supremacist, a racist, and simple not competent as a leader. He is inciting violence and hatred – instilling fear and loathing – he must not be re elected.
They plan a night of violence and terror, November 3rd, because the GOP are desperate, facing, “ACCOUNTABILITY,” for the first time in their lives! You can’t LOSE if you DON’T PLAY! Mail your ballot! Do it NOW! And TRACK IT! All the way! Then you’re free to Livestream, “events,” from a SAFE distance! Whatever happens, VOTE!
Donny’s puckered mouth is where good words like, “dignity,” go to die.
Trump’s recklessness is endangering everyone including the police he says he respects. End the lies, division and hate. Time for the country to heal – Biden 2020!
Well said, Ellen Benson.
You call the president a white supremacist and a racist. But _he’s_ the one inciting hatred. Sure. You ever Google “Trump supporter attacked”?
Donald – Never before a President have gone and done what he’s resorted to do – STOKE DIVISION & VIOLENCE to try to get re-elected! So Desperate So Disgusting So Disgraceful!!!
He’s destroying the U.S. from within for putin
VidWatcher1X brilliantly said
@Hyuuga Kro trumps the disorganized crime boss looting the shithole country ya knobjockey!
@Iain Herridge the way i see it Trump is trying to suppress the violence while democrats are calling for it. There has been multiple democrats supporting these riots. So i have to ask who is the real crime boss here.
@Hyuuga Kro Protesting against police violence isn’t destroying America. Sending troops with teargas to clear a church for an embarrassing photo op is destroying America.
@Hyuuga Kro So, is Trump suppressing violence by supporting an 17 yo killing two people?
I cannot believe that anyone still expects Donald Trump to do the right thing.
We The People will do the right thing, by voting A Cuckoo Clockwork Orange out of office.
BTW, love your avatar. “Is that a bad thing?”
Exactly 🤬
Morons and imbeciles don’t see anything wrong with him.
Just in my neighborhood I found 4 houses with Trump/Pence signs… makes me sick
Shooting an unarmed man unnecessarily seven times in the back………”they are very talented people”
@BreakTheWheel Now the thing is even if they are not BLM you cannot deny there has been mob violence and none of these democrats or even the BLM condemned them, or even stopped them. Antifa has been there with BLM and BLM knowing what Antifa do they still protested with them.
Why are people like antifa why force their speech on people with BLM why are they protesting with them. The Trump supporter that got killed by protester , Antifa claimed it a job well done, that this guys’s life didn’t matter. Why is BLM cooperating with Antifa.
@Hyuuga Kro You call Trump’s undercover storm-troopers BLM all you want, it will not make them BLM.
@Hyuuga Kro So you are saying that BLM should walk away from their protest because someone with a different plan came along and joined the crowd? Just how stupid do you think we here are?
@Arnold Fossman Stupid enough to let leftist and democrats make tools out of you. Without any evidence you said “undercover troopers” are involved. Left like you make anything up without having any proof. Protestor have to separate themselves from the rioters if they don’t they are just as much responsible as the rioters themselves.
They shot him seven times in the back because he was reaching for the knife on the floor of his truck. Oh, and they were called to the scene because he had broken into his ex’s house and stole her keys and wouldn’t leave. They were also warned by dispatch that he had an arrest warrant out for sexually assaulting this woman.
We have a President that’s dangerously unwell..” YOU THINK” .
America: Remember the 1930’s brown shirts? Their tactic was disinformation and fear-mongering. Sound familiar?
nailed it
I’ll bet you that these people have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Marty Baldwin Likely those here trolling for Trump are clueless about what that post is actually about.
Yes, that does sound exactly like what CNN is doing.
Exactly what the left has been doing wake up!
Trump is talking like Biden is the current president. Well, that matches his statement: I don’t take responsibility
@Jackson McNeil His daddy gave him $400 million, and Republicans think he’s a “self-made man,” lol.
Exactly exactly exactly
It’s called gas-lighting and it works with his loyal cult followers and the less educated American populist!
Tump next book art of the MEGA CON….
Always someone else’s fault, even when he is the one in the White house. #VOTEBLUE
This is exactly what Trump wants….chaos citizens against citizens, how much more evidence do you need, vote this maniac out!
Lana Kahl yes your right ….stay save.
Chloe Key yes playing for Putin no doubt…..stay save.
VOTE!! Pay NO Attention to the “polls”. VOTE!!
Please explain to me how violence committed by people who hate Trump, because they hate Trump, is the fault of Trump.
AlexReynard These people that make there way to the demonstrations are Trump supporters, causing chaos, not protesters, they are trying to disrupt because they think it will help him by sowing the seeds of anarchy, Trump won’t condemn them, not even the gunman shooting three people, he is playing to his base, Americans are not stupid they see through this, thousands of people have marched without incident to bring attention to the injustice and plight of blacks , Trump is a racist and is not a president for all America, he has the whole country at each other’s throats, this man has broken what America stood for, and in the eyes of the world!
