Joe: I believe in U.S. exceptionalism; that’s why this crisis hard to accept | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Whatever Joe, I’m sure genghis khan thought the mongol empire was exceptional too.
“We’re doing a great job,” Trump says, but we all know that the only things Trump does a great job at are lying and incompetence.
And self-promotion and grifting.
@drew pedersen Very true, Drew, but if I included all the sleazy attributes of Mr. Trump, I’d reach the character limits of a YouTube post, so I thought I’d just limit the number to two. LOL. Take care.
So, Deborah Birx has really sold her soul and integrity.
Yep, Every thing Trump touches dies :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yafBxWUQNY
Go Lincoln Project! https://lincolnproject.us/
I know!!!! What happened to her? She is really selling her integrity
Can he show us how to take hydroxychloroquine ?
I want a live demo.
Ask some Malaysians, Turks millions of them as they take it dimmo.
When you fire the people finding to cure literally this is what happens
But he’s gonna replace them with Drs who support Trump. Meaning every doctor that has been on FOX and OAN and NewsMax.
“Everyone is in favour of free speech, Hardly a day passes without its being extolled,
but some people’s idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.”
–Winston Churchill
He the most pathetic 0bnoxlcpsi suppose to be a man he is a old fool in diapers. Need to be voted out before he damage this country beyond repair
“Almost illiterate analysis”… That’s about as spot on as I’ve ever heard.”Nearly incoherent” or “a point of view removed from reality” are a couple more.
he says anything off the top of his head, whether its true or not..
More like he pulls it out of another part of his anatomy
” top of his head ” should be “top of his EMPTY Brainless head”
“There’s many per capitas.” 🤦♀️
He loves his high numbers…well he’s getting them…
As an American, I believe in American exceptionalism too…. while some Americans have done great things, most of us are exceptionally arrogant while riding on the shoulders of giants.
Preach!
I believe America can be better, and that maybe Trump is that bitter pill that causes America to finally weak up from its political apathy.
@Princess of Laughter Pinkie Pie I think the problem with the thought meme of ‘American Exceptionalism’ is when you believe you are already the best, you put little to no effort into getting better.
@Katie Kat I think there is a fine line between being motivated to do better and smug complacency. America often struggles with that falling into complacency because many especially conservatives don’t take America’s role in the world seriously. America is capable of doing great things but time and again we are often held back by the ignorant, stubborn and the timid.
So true!!!!!
— “Socialism doesn’t work!”
— “But the Western European and Nordic countries are doing great with it.”
— “That’s not real socialism! They’re basically capitalist.”
— “Okay, let’s adopt their policies then.”
— “No, that’s socialism.”
@B Babbich What about your Dem friends? Biden says if the Congress passed M4A, he would refuse to sign it.
I think people many Americans hate socialism because of racism. Back in the 1950s America had many social programs, parks and pools but they were only for a specific group of people and when the Civil Rights bill passed many of those “selective” parks and pools suddenly closed and were demolished. Roads fell into disrepair and building started to get worst and the when Obama tried to pass a bill to address the failing infrastructure. Republicans stopped him stating it would cost too much money yet they say nothing about Trump giving billions to his oligarch friends. It really is a sad sight
It is when you hear Americans saying free healthcare for everyone is a terrible idea! WTF? The reason Einstein was free to be so educated, was because before Hitler(and after) Germany(Europe) is one of the worlds biggest hubs for socialised education and healthcare. People can’t invent, create, heal if they’re dead
@Emma Pearce Red Scare and misinformation killed the free health care thing back in the late 1940s. Also racism because the fear that illegal immigrates and minorities would abuse and overrun the system.
@Alexa M That’s why the rest of the world says America doesn’t have a political left and a political right, it’s just a matter of how far right the parties are. Bernie is moderately left and he’s been left in the weeds.
He can’t stop liying misleading blaming boast pride comes before the fall
Lying Joe
When Trump comes out with this stuff, he is talking to his base.
Of course he’s talking to his base! He only talks to his base.
Helen Short Also, through his base.
Helen Short He is talking out of his @ss. That’s why it doesn’t make any sense. He has no idea what he is talking about and he tries so hard to sound like he does and that is a detriment to us and our country.
D Spunky You are funny. Don’t you see the fear in Trump’s eyes and in his voice? It is so loud!
nsgkuaov What I don’t get, is that they SEE and HEAR all of his lies….just like we all do and yet, they still follow him. It is mind blowing that anyone would let themselves be blinded by such a man as Trump.
When you have a loonie tunes president running a great country to the ground…
no great Country would have voted that imbecile into office.
America is exceptionally good at lying to not only themselves, but also to the world.
Absolutely!
It use to be something that was the envy of the world and now due to forces twisting and corrupting its meaning, it now means something icky and sinister.
TRUE
Right on the nose!
Some states are hiding or fudging numbers. We are in trouble.
“there’s many per capitas…” Oh God, he’s a moron.
big brain, trump university
Aggie Longhorn I think he confused it with capitals.
He likes the words percapita it makes him sound so smart while not knowing what it means.
Fact check: The USA is currently 39th in the World on per capita testing
Hey, but first in the world at the Covid death toll. Credit given where credit due.
There are different kinds of per capitas. The US is the best in the ones it’s the highest in. (eyeroll)
@TME3 trump made us #1.
@Computer User Sure did – no. 1 laughing stock on the planet. Oh and no. 1 worst handling of the corona virus, oh and no 1 death toll, infection rates and incredible unemployment records too. No.1 all right. Congratulations.
The only things the US is exceptional at are: most people in jail, most police shootings of innocent people, most school shootings, most medical bankruptcies and most cases and deaths from covid19.
Plus all the good work in South America, the Middle East, Afghanistan, etc. For lots of people the 9/11 is the terrible day Salvador Allende had to commit suicide in order to escape Pinochet’s and Kissinger’s sbires. You did destabilize the Irak region and migrants are flooding Europe now. The examples go on and on. The best of the best, indeed!
Wow! How profound indeed
@Al Kante Thank you!
