'Heartbreaking': McCaskill Reacts To Powerful New Evidence In Trump Impeachment Trial | MSNBC
Yes he has no morals soooo sad
People Like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Rrep. Jordan and others like Mitch Zombie eyes and Marco Rubio should be ashamed of themselves, ignoring such a SHOCKING EVIDENCE!!!!!!! Pease show some respect for the position you hold in congress and convict to secure Capitol Hills respect for the future in front of the eyes of the world….AMEN
@Just Me wait… what you’re advocating is…. wait for it……
*FASCISM* 101
@Ted Turnner Oh Sunshine I strongly suggest you actually look up the definition of fascism & stop embarrassing yourself lolol 🙄
@Ted Turnner Oh sweetie your false equivalence bs & desperate bs only make you appear even more weak & even less intelligent ;o).
Some of those names need to be charged for their part inciting that insurrection.
@Bill Rodriguez it was actually Tomorrowland in Belgium, but hey, sure. I imagined you would say that. Be well be blessed.
Republicans voting against conviction are voting against the Constitution.
@Mark Ray no one wants your fiction. You people have no credible evidence and your own judges said so. Pay attention to reality.
Lies and denial don’t work anymore.
Trump is screwed.
Republicans who were complicit by instigating a deadly insurrection need to be charged right now. The people demand justice.
@Mairice Wilson Not the topic being discussed here.
@Mairice Wilson Debunked and not true. Your way behind the curve.
@Jason Snook Sorry, but It is costitutional.
They keep saying they’re the party of Lincoln, yet their base is made up of John Wilkes Booth’s.
@Leo Scheibelhut Its hard if youre a racist.. if youre an historian.. you will realize the Southern strategy was horrific for Black Americans.. watergate was a fully separate political issue..
@Leo Scheibelhut Lincoln betrayed Black soliders in the worse way… throwing them to the white wolves .. klan.. to retaliate for loss of their “property”.. Countless Black men women and children were terrorized under the Black codes ( aka Jim Crow Era).. Lincoln promised 20 acres and a mule to Black americans.. yet gave reparations of $300 to Slavers.. Its a good thing he was taken out by his own devils
John Wilks Booth was a southern democrat. And the GOP is your party now. The 80 million conservatives that reelected Trump will no longer support a party that worked with you guys to steal an election. So the GOP is you now. What are you guys going to do when your boogyman is your own people? The uni-party is ALL yours now, LOLOLOLOO!
“….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏, very good”!!! G-Mommie
@Leo Scheibelhut “….👏👏👏👏”!!! G-Mommie
Trump should be in prison. Period.
@Hue Yang are you serious 🤦 the “mob” would have never been a mob If he hadn’t gotten them riled up with months an months of bs lies get a grip
@Laura Beldin It’s a question I asked. No worries 🙂
Yes! In prison awaiting execution as some of those Republican politicians also.
@Paula Lynch
Part of the cycle of hate, ignorance and stupidity of the extremist.
I can only laugh at you people from MSNBC. Don’t forget that Trump is the lawful President or do you realy believe Biden had more votes. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahahahahaha.
They’d have us believe that what Clinton did was worse than this.
@Claude Williams Not to mention that Gingrich himself was also having an affair at the time!
@Billy Goat That still isn’t an impeachable offense. What Clinton did was wrong, but it was still between two consenting adults, and it wasn’t really relevant. Republicans were just looking for an excuse to oust him.
@Isaac Mirage yeah the FAKE family values REPUBLIKKKLAN!!!! Didn’t he SERVE his dying wife divorce papers in the HOSPITAL?????
@Claude Williams He did indeed. He also shut down the government in 1995 because he was upset about having to sit in the back of Air Force One.😂
Lisa Riggs actually he didn’t “lie” about it he qualified his response. He held to the stricter definition of having sexual relations as meaning intercourse. The fact is there was no reason for him to be required to answer that question anyway. It was not pertinent to his job performance, wasn’t illegal, and it was a thinly veiled excuse as impeachment doesn’t require a criminal act.
He never said “I love you” He said “WE love you” He made it sound like everyone loved them to give them impression that the whole US loved them. It’s con man’s game.
The royal “we”
But same with his diehard supporters: It´s never just >I believe…<. It´s always >WE love…< or even >EVERYBODY knows…< No justification here, but explanation? If half of Trump voters suffer from split personality & count themselves in as five people...... ah 220+million? Deranged - but yeah: now I can vaguely imagine some path straight downhill to the HOLY sh*t halluciNATION LAND, were TRUMP won his sacred LANDSLIDE VICTORY.
They believe ANYTHING he says… Suckers… what do you expect…
“Trump actually said in private that he dislikes his followers, even noting about the insurrection that it looked “low class.” …Yet at rallies, he praises supporters effusively and in a video after the insurrection told them: “We love you. You’re very special.” Raw Story–Jan 22, 2021–‘Flying monkeys’: Experts reveal how Donald Trump and other cult leaders infect their followers”
@Interested party Perfectly stated. I will never understand. How can Trumpsters hear Trump say such awful things about them and still follow him? How do they still love him so much after he’s lied to them that he would be there with them and after he’s now abandoned them to the justice system? It’s unbelievable!
keen observation…
Don’t forget about all the people that have had and or died from the virus, in which Trumpy played down and didn’t do anything about it either.
Remember when he said, “I take no responsibility” and “It is what it is”! Truly sad.
I’m really interested in how the repubs/baggers in both Houses left their chambers for safety and now look at them. We all know how this trial will end
CONVICTION!!!
@kathi Fingers crossed.
I’d like the cameras to be on trumps lackies in the senate
They will on go on camera for Putin.
@Spider Taylor the only trump supporters are democrats. They cant get enough of him. Hey did you hear we have a new potus? Or do we?
@SouthSide_ Chicago79 conservatives will burn their own house in the hope that the fire will spread to their liberal neighbours house too
@Spider Taylor whatever the capitol protesters receive as far as punishment is deserved, but the fact is, Trump is going to be acquitted again lol.
@SouthSide_ Chicago79 south side Chicago does not want you punkass
Do the Republicans really think the rioters would have spared THEM?
Think again!
They like playing with fire. It’s obvious.
MCCASKILL DIDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE FERGUSON VICTIMS AND POLICE BRUTALITY. PENSE HAD KNOW PROBLEM WITH DEFENDING POLIC E BRUTALITY STOP ACTING LIKE PENCE DID NOT LOOK AT INNOCENT MEN BEHIND CAGES. ROMANS 2:11 ASK REVELATION 1:12-19, REVELATION 2:18 AT REVELATION 3:20.
YOU ALL CAN LEARN FROM BIDEN IT IS CALLED REPENTANCE FOR YOUR CONDUCT OR THERE WOULD BE KNOW TRUMP! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FERGUSON AND THE VICTIMS IN THE CAPITAL?? WE ARE ALL HUMAN RERGARDLESS IF YOU KNOW US OR NOT! ASK YOURSWELF IF THE TREAT WAS SO BAD WHY DID THE CAPITAL POLICE HELP THE SAVAGES WALK BACK OUT THE DOOR??
Debra Smith: I think that’s exactly what they believed. They’d shout, “I’m on your side! Here, let me help you,” and think that the rioters would believe them or even be listening. How else could Republicans hunkered down in whatever room it was that House members were moved to giggle when offered a mask or at anything else if they believed they were in real danger, just like Pelosi or Schiff or other Dems? I would have gotten a black marker and written “Democrat” on their foreheads, and said, “Wipe those grins off your faces and put on these masks in the next ten seconds, or you’re getting shoved out into the hall with the mob.” Well, that would be a good scene in a film and that’s what they deserved.
@Gnirol Namlerf Frenzied rage isn’t selective.
They’re all too busy day trading on their cell phones to care. They all need to be charged. Then they’ll change the song they sing.
I don’t think Biden should close Gitmo quite yet.
oh that place is a palace compared to Alabama. No joke.
@Ryan Anderson then we set up a new gitmo in alabama. No air conditioning.
Yeah he’ll need a cell there…..
💗Hugs Claire-your sensitivities are perfect… the lack in others are despicable. Thank you Nicole 🥰
Claire nailed it. The anger is beyond anything I could have imagined.
I was never into politics. In fact, I used to go to great efforts to avoid it as a topic of conversation, because it was always so partisan, to the point where discussion was moot and it never bode well for a friendship or work environment.
Now though, the politics of trump, of his party, and what they’ve done to this country and beyond, is simply devastating.
I’ve been so angry and anxious that my health has suffered in a real and tangible way. This man and all of those aiding and abetting him *must* be held accountable.
Read MSM retraction pages for a better perspective on the divisiveness.
@ Madhabitz. “…You like many people have never really been into politics, I’m one as well but, dabbled a bit, until now, I’m sooo glad he’s gone, and I also hope they come from behind their cowardice cloaks and do their duties in the manner of which they are too hold the oath of protecting the country, her people and the constitution”!!! G-Mommie
@us citizen not really, the right thinks the left has cognitive dissonance, the left genuinely thinks they are kind while doing horrible things that really hurt people. the right absolutely believes the left has great resolve and strength in their collectiveness and organization, they are not “weak,” but the right does think the left is ‘duplicitous’
@Tessmage Tessera That’s the thing. It’s not on Biden, it’s on America’s Attorney General. I hope he does do it, but it’s going to take time to do it right. They’re already taking a close gander at Rudy.
I hear you.
Your reaction, Claire, is warmly human.
Truly. It was like watching a 5 year old cry in animated film. It was very tender, and from someone who I usually think of who has balls of steel, just speaks to how deeply disturbing and terrifying it was to watch
“Evil prevails when good men do nothing”
Yes, if he is not impeached, that will be the second last nail in the coffin of American democracy.
Sadly t’Rump, or another leader, will try a coup again if they know there will be no consequences for it.
MIKE MOTHER PENCE
It breaks my heart… sickening beyond words.
How could Missouri change out Aunt Claire, a descent human being, for that miscreant Josh Hawley?
You ever been to Missouri????
Just shows yet again that Donald is a sociopath divorced from empathy and Reality.
Yawn, liberal idiots like you don’t have much, do you.
@Daniel Moore Yeah just stand up for silly things like
Truth Justice and the Am….
Sadly Claire he didn’t fail at doing nothing, he succeeded at doing nothing. He LIKED what he saw and didn’t send in the National Guard to stop the violence. America’s Nero watching Rome burn and loving it!
But he had no problem hiding in his bunker during a peaceful BLM protest, then calling out the troops with teargas. .
So true 👍🏼
