How The Threat Of Violence Has Haunted Politics In The Trump Era | All In | MSNBC
Politicians should be vetted for cowardice before running for office
@EricAnthonyBurkhiemer is GayLonely38yoLeftist yes and to serve the American people, there is risk involved, being in the public eye. Choices have to made before doing so
@V No Brain Spurs Allowed. They knew he was a snake and they took him in with glee reflecting their own narcissism, greed, and total disinterest in the country and its population.
Individuals aren’t vetted for anything at all before running for the Presidency, that’s America’s disgrace – never mind politicians, as Trump has never been a politician, or a businessman, or an adult.
@Stewart Henderson yes, Trump is an evil 👺 piece of krap. Go away and bring your idioiic followers with you 🤑 not even a man 🐻
And experience, education, intelligence and ethics.
You NEVER give in to terrorism. The one thing Margaret Thatcher, UK Prime Minister, got right.
Never bow to bullies.
@Stephene McNeil well that was a fable that never happened. you are the enemy and the police and military are majority patriotic deplorables and will turn on the marxist puppet and ignore his commands. they are also the ones that will comprise the death squads that eradicate the families of traitors
@Thomas Fuller the enemy of patriots are the globalists. they will be eradicated. global marxism is on the wrong side of history. the world is going the other way and this is the case for the UK and Italy and soon germany as well
Many people i LL most q
@Jock Young you filthy racist
@michael boultinghouse WTF are you talking about? The IRA do not run Ireland you moron.
If the threat of violence is allowed to influence the votes of lawmakers, violence will become the first tactic used in every political dispute in America.
@misty lessard The terror attack on the capitol was planned by the Republicans as well as Trump. I have as much evidence of that as you have for your crackpot theory so you should take mine just as serious.
https://youtu.be/o5LfNJNRzvE time will tell how deep the swamp is in America but im sorry you dont feel free enough to expand your mind a little beyond the popularity of trump and behaviors of extremists only on one side, ffs.
It’s more comfortable to think you know it all, that’s fear.
Violence should be a punishable offence r/t voting

If the threat of violence is allowed to influence the votes of lawmakers, violence will become the first tactic used in every political dispute … Which defines the Strategy of a Dictatorship.
The way Chris said “Sleeping National Gaurdsmen,” made me chuckle.
How do you risk your life and or life in prison over a man that doesn’t even know or care about you? He’s a conman, a grifter!! So these people go out wanting to take the life of people and leave their family to sit in prison for life.. That’s a special kinda stupid..
You’re assuming they will get fair justice…they won’t. A murder sentence for them can be 5 years. In these cases, maybe they won’t be convicted at all. One of the guys who was arrested in the attack is apparently getting organic foods served to him b/c his mom said that’s all he can eat. I’m flabbergasted.
I’m not sure they’re all stupid. It comes down to believing the five years of lies + not having the capacity to discriminate between fact and fiction. And there’s also a % of the population who have the capacity to be drawn to an authoritarian leadership style.
@lynette burns Donnie doesn’t deserve the ranking title. He’s an illegitimate president that Russia used as an asset and helped him win. He spent four years dismantling and destroying democracy. He’s a treasonous traitor. Not a commander in chief.
@Riley Scott I saw that and couldn’t believe it.. If that’s not special treatment idk what is!
@Jacqueline Rimmer Very much agree with you on that..
They are NOT leaders if they are so cowardly to sacrifice the whole country to save themselves. Sacrificing the good of all for themselves is a republican policy.
@Brian Watson You are part of the problem.
@Loyd Christmas Sir, , I have no idea we’re you are coming from?
@Child of God Larson ummm, idk what to tell ya then I guess… the writing is on the wall. You know Joe Biden won’t avenge the CCP right? Probably give our country to them. Thats the one thing Trump did good was be tough on China. Now we will probably just give our country away. What a waste…
They’ve always been this way. I’m just glad people are seeing them for who they really are.
When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
sacrifice the few to save many
BS the republicans are scared of what the russian hackers fund in the hacked emails!!!
Exactly. Can’t tell me they only hacked the DNC
Kompromat is a USSR/Russian speciality.
no proof
Goh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
Those cowards don’t care about our safety. They didn’t mind setting their mob after other people’s families
If they want sympathy from me they can find it in the dictionary….
It’s between sh!t & syphillis.
jpNewpic88.men
GOP should be investigated from top to tail and those cowards who are guilty for mutiny against USA should be charged and in prisoned for treason against USA
Toh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
@Davor Ban … Do you think Trump should be charged with the deaths?
Oath of office, whether military or civilian, versus merely parroting the solemn oath while desiring the power .
If you’re too scared to vote “yes”, then just vote “present.”
https://youtu.be/tTqilbOFUSc
No, they should not show up at all. That way less votes are needed! The count will be among present members, not seats!
@Starsurfer74 no that’s not true. They need 2/3rds of the senate to impeach. If 50 members don’t vote, then the impeachment fails. They need 2/3 regardless of them showing up or not. The house will pass it. They have the numbers. It’s up to the senate.
@mickus That’s not true. If they don’t show up they don’t count for or against the 2/3.
@Starsurfer74 If they are too scared and can not protect the US from danger, just resign, Americans do not need them.
When has America ever let terrorists get away with their crimes? Never. So lets not change that now just because the threat is domestic.
jpNewpic88.men
@Thomas H seriously? You have the gull?
Yoh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
@Thomas H I am tired and surprised how many times I have to explain this. Ok here goes another attempt.
BLM : A protest against police brutality.A movement saying black lives matter too.They are saying treat black lives as you would white lives.Yes there were voilent riots but 93% have been peaceful protest.And also among tens of millions of protesters at max. thousands were voilent.(that too after arrests were made in riots it was revealed some were left wingers some were right winger & some were purely criminals looking to take advantage of situation by inciting voilence)The movement in a whole was for equality & reform of judicial system
Now let’s talk about CAPITOL INSURRECTION:
This group was there to stop elector vote certification a democratic process(on Trump’s instruction might I add).To provide some “encouragement”to politicians who are not on board with whatever Trump’s plan were by cheering those same politicians with slogans like “Hang Mike Pence”.Also all this they do inside a government building.Going through offices of congressman/woman whuch might contain classified documents. Hitting police with fire extinguisher and killing him.
So you see comparing these two event is like comparing Civil rights movement (1954-1968)and Confederacy war(1861-1865). These two are not the same. Also you see even Martin Luther King was criticised for his aggressive approach which incited voilence from the other side.
Unless…of course…America has been owned and operated by terrorists for centuries now; they simply excused their atrocities in the expectation of gaining sympathy for having done “good.” It’s a deliberate evocation of a perverse kind of Stockholm Syndrome, really. What do you do when you realize “consent of the governed” was initially achieved through theft, coercion and violence? That to some extent, it remains so? Yes, that America. I don’t totally hate it but I don’t totally love it either. It’s a forced marriage resulting from desperation: not the best terms to be on.
This is a perfect example of a terrorist movement.
If the Republican “feared” that they would be attacked if Trump is impeached, then he definitely have to be impeached to remove all of his political influence.
Exactly!
Terrified. The word terrified has been used repeatedly over time. Think about what it takes to terrify largely seasoned politicians. They need to tell us.
Toh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
I give GOP no excuse here. If they are scared, then they need to say it openly. sorry — you own this.
The Trumpsters already know they are scared. They are already watching them. And telling them that. And that’s why they are scared for themselves and their families.
Yes. Tear it open. Shine a light
“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.”
– Edward R. Murrow
WOW . That’s absolute .
Or woman in this case
Absolutly
Yoh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
That is literally terrorism – holding people hostage with fear.
The very definition!
So, I suppose from now on we can assume that if they are speaking out and calling out certain groups ( Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, etc.) as violent and dangerous, then those groups aren’t really the real threat because they aren’t afraid to speak up.
@Muddy Water “Righteous Anger” can’t be used to describe to an attempt at insurrection to overthrow our Democratic process that cost 5 people their lives! The term you’re looking for to describe Trumpanzees is SORE LOSERS!
@Muddy Water
There’s a difference between decades of research and documentation providing evidence of widespread racial injustices and over policing vs unfounded and unsupported claims by one man, that stands to gain from claiming election fraud.
DURING AND AS PART OF impeachment testimony no less
@T J These people have a problem with both the meaning of words and with reality at large, TJ. It’s a major problem for society. We all know it. It’s not only their foot-soldiers. The way GOP members of Congress played their refusal to remove Trump during the impeachment debate, as a bipartisan act to try and restore a bit of national consensus facing a violent fascist threat, points in the same direction. Rotten to the core by now. ONLY the risk of losing large amounts of donor money and backup now may change their TACTICS (nothing else). Must be McConnell’s main reason for his new disgusting schemes, I can’t see them otherwise 🤢
So, they’re saying they should negotiate with terrorists?
Either negotiate with them or just give in to whatever you think they might demand.
True color of some politician is showing.
Give in. Give in to terrorists. Not negotiate.
Goh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
Every other Federal building has metal detectors why didn’t the Capital building!
It’s like telling an abused woman she will bring more abuse upon herself if she calls the police. SMDH
EXACTLY
All people with power should be kept under surveillance 24/7.
power corrupts and makes people suffer.
Toh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh good
LOL. Who is the Sheep now? GOP is afraid to push back against the terrorists.
Most americans who watch the media thinking they are informed are 🐑.
