Fmr. Rep. David Jolly: Trump ‘Thrives In A Culture Of Criminality’ | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. @gymkhanadog : If they are to face a court trial, best to have them tried after inauguration. When Trump is gone. The prospect of prison and no pardon possible will see at least a couple of them turn into chirruping little canaries.

    2. @Curt Denson : Being a Republican, and having worked in the Whitehouse on Republican campaigns, i would say she probably knows a damned sight more than you do.

  1. Yet Trump Supporters are still chanting “Lock her up” and “Drain the Swamp”. These people are astonishingly delusional

    1. I know that is amazing with all the news media we have in this Country. They have to know but they just don’t care.

    2. @J Russ If someone is a moronic stupid brainless dimwit who supports Trump,
      just being called uneducated could be taken as a compliment.

    3. @John Godley It is a compliment. He calls them poorly educated. Meaning that they went to school. Uneducated means they either didn’t go , gave up because of lack of trying or just to hard.

    1. We need to improve our election laws. No way should a felon be allowed to attempt re-election. Impeachment should not be the only way to remove someone as corrupt as trump. He never should have run in the first place. Our disregard of this matter has led to complete catastrophe.

  2. “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.” Niccolo Machiavelli

    1. Beenthere Donethat should we live in fear forever since Covid is here? What were you doing before covid existed? We’re you hiding in your house in fear of AIDS, Cancer and the Flu? News flash those diseases have been killing us much longer and the numbers are way higher than Covid. When we’re we told it was safe to go outside after all those diseases came around? Never. Don’t be a tool. Please reply with something smart so I can stop using your own arguments against you.

    2. @Jussainwuturthinkn What I hope is that people like you and all Trump supporters gather in large groups and have meetings daily and hug and hold hands and yell and scream together in mass party rallies and NO MASKS they are for them Commies and lefties and sissies afraid of a little covid pandemic haha . Let natural selection take its course . Please do this !

    3. @Trevor Johnson Hi there. Just my two cents. I do not think it is appropriate to respond to trumpers’ provocation and insane mantras, by indulging in the same kind of “rethoric”. I agree that they show themselves, on too many occasions, as behaving obnoxious, violent, racist, misogynistic, humanly vile and totally incapable, at least for the time being, of computing any civic principle that would allow them to reach out to fellow citizens who have different views. It is a tragedy, mostly for them. But allowing yourself to wish them harm is not beneficial and is morally questionable, and it means you are falling into their trap. Remember Mrs. Obama: “when they go low, you go high”. In the meantime, the best of luck.

    4. Don’t look at what they say or believe what you see and hear (this IS the textbook definition of cult leadership)

    1. @Kath Casey Well, the USPS investigates charges of crimes that occur partially or completely using mail fraud as a vehicle for the crime. They investigate and bring charges and arrest the perpetrators. [As an aside, it was usually mail fraud or money laundering that brought mafia members and bankers and those involved in ‘white collar crime’ to trial and conviction]

    1. I agree. However, this list of indicted advisors and aides is incomplete. They’ve at least forgotten Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. And I really believe that Lev Parnas has also shown honest, genuine remorse, too.

      Don’t get me wrong. He was an absolutely repulsive thug. The things he did… but he seemed to really come clean on The Rachel Maddow Show. He didn’t make himself out to be the only innocent one, surrounded by criminals doing terrible things that he didn’t like and he didn’t participate in. He didn’t do that crap. He owned up for the things he had done. He didn’t try to shift the blame, or play the whataboutism game, he took responsibility for the wrong he had done. And since his sins harmed the nation and the world, he decided to confess to the nation and the world, as a start to his restitution. And I have to respect that.

    1. @Alasdair Blackmore Then as a Muslim respect your God and the Quran and other faith.
      While others look down on yours.

    2. @2 Real : Snowflake Boi Dude … I’m not a Muslim … you need to do some research … The title “Commander in Chief” belongs to Our Father [God / Allah / Buddha etc] … however Donald Trump is your “Commander in Chief” / God etc … and that makes you the ENEMY of Our Father [God / Allah / Buddha etc] !
      Your NEGATIVE response to my agreeing with you proves you’re NOT sane !

    3. @Alasdair Blackmore Hey stupid, if you read all my comments? He’s not mines. (Yrump) in any way nor form or fashion.
      I don’t deal with evilness in words in auctions and disrespect.
      Peace!
      I shun all types of evil, but I will fight tooth nails for my God of love and truth and if your not, evil or a Muslim, then stop the confusion and apprehension.

  3. But his supporters still think Bill Clinton tarnished the White House and TRUMP is a saint. Pure mass insanity.

  4. _One word comes to mind this NOVEMBER!_

    *#LANDSLIDE*
    *#biden**:HARRIS2O2O*
    _🇺🇸🇯🇲🇺🇸🇯🇲🇺🇸🇯🇲🇺🇸_

    1. If we’re going to list flags of their ancestry, then I guess you forgot 🇮🇳 and 🇮🇪 (and probably others)

  5. He is a sitting impeached president running for a second term—talk about firsts in history—is this even allowed?? Why does no one talk about THis?

    1. Rain9Quinn: Yeah..it’s pretty amazing…only in America. I guess since the Senate voted to reject the impeachment…it’s business as usual. 🤢

    2. Trump was impeached but being impeached doesnt mean removal. The second part of that process of trying to remove him out of office goes to the senate to vote. Because senate has more republicans, all but one voted not to remove him. Just a disgusting indecent decision from republicians in the senate.

    3. Yesimoeached, not tried in the senate. Folks missing the point! NO IMPEACHED President ever tried to run fro a second term. They resigned, at least the 2 in my lifetime.

  6. Recently retied Navy, former Reagan republican. Voting BIDEN2020. Lets end this Tumputin embarrassment.
