Joe: Wednesday Was Sad And Depressing To Watch | Morning Joe | MSNBC
I’m a Republican. And I’m ashamed of this behavior. Shameful. “In America, we care about right”
@Chris Cruz Firstly Sir.. Thank You for your Service and also Thank You for Your words.. Sadly with passions on the subject of this Presidency many Folks seem to have lost sight of that fact.. In the end when all is said and done when Mr Trump is out of Office either by Retirement or Impeachment ..we are all still Americans..and we have not been this polarized in such a very long time.. I Pray we will eventually Heal as a Country.. The GOP Members should have shown far more respect in addressing those Witnesses that have dedicated their Careers to the Service of Our Country.. A Very Sad Situation ..
If I were you I would start calling myself a conservative instead.
I will suggest you become Independent. Because after the Trump Presidency. Republican will be the same as treasonous.
Trump aided and abetted our allies enemy in a time of war with that enemy. Republican are covering up that treasonous act. So how is the name Republican coming out of this with any clean hands?
angela lewis For sure Amennnnn💯✔️
Isn’t it ironic that those Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have no intelligence? Giuliani made a big public spectacle in May when he announced he was going to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. Then Trump had his TV interview where he said he would accept dirt on political rivals. They both announced their intent quite publicly. That is first-hand information and the entire US population could testify to that, because there was video.
They should play those videos tapes in the hearings!
Blink O o S …………………… These Repukes are pretending to be stupid to hide the fact that they are compromised . They ALL took $$$ from Russia and laundered through NRA as arranged by Moscow Mitch . Some don’t have to pretend a lot .
@JoeyFiveandDimes I’m afraid you’re not too far from the truth. No matter what your political view, there is no other logical reason to defend a person this fiercely who is so obviously guilty. Republicans must be getting a payoff from somewhere. The NRA, RNC, fossil fuel industries, Russia, Saudi Arabia? Maybe all of the above. Either way it’s not good for democracy.
funny thing is the bidens are both probably corrupt, but trump can’t be bothered with the truth, just make sh*t up
@Blink Once on Sunday! yes there is, we see the alternative.
WH mouthpiece and deputy serial liar Grisham, looks like Morticia of the Aadams Family…..just sayin.
To be fair Mr Schiff, House Republicans do need ‘bribery’ spoken and spelled out for them. They are that muthafucking stupid.
@Paul Van der Heiden and @fine and fancy. It is now looking like Barisma was a money laundering scheme involving not only the Bidens but just about the whole Democrat Machine. The sum involved, $7.8 BILLION, yes BILLION. Why did Kerry go to Ukraine in contravention of the Logan Act ? Schiff and Pelosi, Obama as well as the Bidens are involved. It is Trump or THEM. If them, they ALL GO TO JAIL ! Just start to ask yourselves why the media will not touch this story. The media think you are dopes and they are right. Nunes keeps talking about Barisma because while on TV he is getting it out to the American people. The Impeachment will fail,and they will look to try to assassinate the President. You are all brainwashed groupies to bunch of criminals.
@T Stewart
Ignoring your insults there is a really funny thing:
Most of us at the progressive left who have gained some deeper knowledge about the economy strongly agree that it was one of the worst things to try to save an obviously failing neoliberalist capitalistic economic trickle down system by bailing out the banks. And you know who introduced that system? The Republican President Ronald Reagan with the help of the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
But I won’t deny that afterwards all the established politicians in both parties including their Presidents embraced that economic system and failed the common people for decades now.
And this includes the actual guy in the WH who had nothing better to do than to further increase that crippling debt just to give himself and his other rich friends from the upper 1% a huge tax break. Those folks now pay less in taxes than we common people and most of the large corporations they own do everything they can to abuse the laws and the system to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
Such an economic system where the upper 10% owns more than 85% of the stocks but where most of the other 90% struggle every day to survive doesn’t work for us. It is a fact that the most of us don’t profit from the raising stock markets which Trump and all the other established politicians love to cite as favorite indicators of a healthy economic system.
We don’t want ~40,000 people to die every year due to gun violence and another 30,000 people per year due to the lack of having proper health care.
And I personally would like to see a system that for once really offers women who intend to abort because they can’t afford to take care of a child effective help so that they don’t need to abort. Everyone seems to be just all talk on both sides but no one seems to actually really care about how to avoid the situations that force women into abortion. Because most of them don’t want to abort. They just don’t see another way. And many of them then have to live their life afterwards struggling to handle the deep guilt they feel because they aborted. Maybe, instead of fighting so fiercely over this topic we should start to fight the root causes that force women into abortion and provide them the help they need so that they don’t have to abort. I for myself view this as an essential necessity that should be sincerely addressed by a combined effort from universal health care, child care and family care systems provided by our governments both on the state and the nationwide levels.
Well SHIFF keeps changing his mind every other day, hmmm.lets see…first we had QUID pro quo, that didn’t poll well, …..then he says LOL BRIBERY…..that wasnt polling well either, welllllll…let’s try extortion LMAO……..no wander his eyeballs pop out their sockets…….you guys are a joke lol…..
@Ewald Bracko your entire post is idiotic because no one on the left has any understanding of the economy. That’s why you losers are trying to promote socialism that hasn’t worked anywhere in the world in history. I have spent my entire career in taxation and your simplistic view of how taxes affect the economy is boorish. With the current system of tax tables there is no way that a rich person pays less in tax than you do.
You don’t want people dying because of gun violence but you have absolutely no problem with American citizens dying at the hands of illegals. Not only do you have no problem you and the worst president in history the racist POSbo Welcomed illegals. He did commercials on how to file for welfare when they got here. It’s not about the people, not about laws it’s about the left trying to change the makeup of the American voters.
We know why women have abortions. They are immoral, stupid and can’t use birth control. We are forced to pay for the birth control of everyone and only the stupid don’t use it. We already have system of welfare that is exploited by the parasites on the left. It’s how you get elected, selling out the American taxpayer so that you can have power. Disgusting.
You got a point there Louis. My question is when did reading go out of fashion?
Jim Jordan soul is gone like his hair. Very slowly but starting to show empty spaces
Jim is disgusting in his manner of speech, his verbal attack on those served to testify and above all his total arrogance and sneeeering mannerisms. Can you imagine someone testifying RESPONDING in the same manner? They would be arrested for breaking some arcane by-law/BS. A representative who represents nothing but money and CHAOS – here’s hoping his district removes him ASAP
So sad even Sondland didn’t respect Jordan.
@Liona Sondland even laughed at Jordan. “Who was there at the meeting”. Which meeting? “The meeting that never happened” !!!??? How can there be any body be at a meeting that never happened? There is no cure for stupidity.
I have to mute his voice I can’t stand to hear it, it makes the hair stand up my neck. He reminds me of peeper next door staring thru the cracks in the fence. F’n disgusting joke shameful.
Gym never had a soul. Nobody with a soul would have watched all those rapes happen and just shrugged them off. All the Republican politicians are monsters now, to varying degrees, but Jordan is one of the biggest.
“When toxic people can no longer control you, they will try and control the way other people see you”.
Michael K i have always been impressed with certain foreign service officials because in the past ive worked with many as a subordinate when i did work in certain countries they are very impressive people who always got my respect and who i always had no issues taking orders from
@Leonie Romanes There were fewer billionaires before high-tech began, which created instant billionaires like Zuckerberg, Jobs and Bezos.
You must go further back to find old billionaire money…those who inherited millions (that became billions) from slave-owning ancestors and the Robber Baron monopolies created during Industrial Revolution, like the Rockefellers, who bought up railroads so aspiring small oil businesses couldn’t move their product. Basically, we’d have many more wealthy folks if not for conniving antics of those like them, the Rothschilds, etc. Even people like Ford profited greatly during WWII using Jewish slave labor to build engines for both sides.
Frankly, I find those who hurt others, their own cultures and work against their own countries just to make a buck disgusting. Greed is a disease. Examine actions of high-tech, Apple, FB, Amazon; Bezos didn’t inherit it; he made it, but he takes much of it off the backs of his employees. Apple bought Google, and they’re just as bad. Greed in its perfected form (Fred Trump wasn’t a billionaire, and we all know how Don became one.)
Sorry for long reply; I’ve studied this and battle for oil in Middle East, a century of war that continues today; UK & US have destroyed any oil country trying to become democratic…topic for another day. God bless.
So true
@Gladys Alicea I agree Gladys. But for some reason people not believe it. This is so sicking to me
If nobody believe the press they’ll never believe the truth
Jim Jordan shame on you, ,👺👺😨😨😨👺👺👺👺👺👺👺
Vote him out of office!!!
He has no shame. OSU coach covering for head coach abusing athletes, immoral or amoral, he is incapable of shame.
Mika: “Getting caught is not a valid defense.”
I’m kind of astonished that it is being offered, repeatedly, as a defense.
It’s equal to “OK, I admit I stole a car, but I got out of it and ran away when the police started chasing me, so I don’t have the car, and the owner got it back, so I’m not guilty”
DANG… JOE LET YOUR WIFE SPEAK. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
@Harry Veras Hi, Harry. I agree! Joe often butts in to his wife’s comments and she must know by now that he’ll keep doing it, so she just stops talking and lets him have the stage. I believe it’s tolerance, not giving up on her part. I’ve noticed, too, that Joe seldom has any prepared sentences to contribute and usually just wanders around and repeats what everyone in the studio and out here watching already knows.
I vote for “Willy” to be the star of the show (“Wake Up With Willy” ?). He’s articulate, well-read, intelligent and can form full sentences without being a copycat. (I’ve commented…ranted… above about this and agree with you 100%. Take care, Harry. ;o) Donna B.
Republican bank-robbery defense:
None of the following break any laws!!
1. Entering a bank.
2. Wearing a mask.
3. Holding a sack.
4. Aiming a gun.
5. Asking for money.
When they attacked Alexander vindman over being born in the Ukraine, it hit me like a bullet because I am also an immigrant. Being an immigrant is like being adopted. Your “old” country is your biological parents, but your “new country” is your home now. Of course I miss my old country and would love to go back and visit every now and then, but my new country is home. I’m a Canadian. I was born in Lebanon and we came to Canada when I was 4. This is how I and almost everyone who immigrated as a child feels. Please stop questioning people’s motives. There are good and bad people everywhere, it makes no difference where they were born.
@T Stewart Please explain what you are trying to say in your two posts above. Which pig?
What does, “The POS does it to get to make foreign policy” mean?
Which “whiner” are you talking about? Nobody is whining here, just openly talking about immigrants, which includes most, maybe all of us.
How do you know American Indians came from another country? Which country? Wouldn’t matter anyway, the outcome is the same.
Who is not getting what he/she wants?
Who is applying any values to any other time? What does that mean?
The “left” only means those who believe in equal rights for everyone.
“Under the bleachers” is a fairly current phrase. Is that “another time”? I was in school studying history, and our school didn’t have bleachers of any height for kids to hide under. I wouldn’t know how to smoke crack if I were asked and don’t intend to learn.
Who are you, a troll who doesn’t know basic English? Maybe your own crack-smoking has rotted your reasoning capabilities. No need to reply. No one really cares what you are blubbering about. I’ll be surprised if you can read this. Good-bye, now.
The greatest thing about america is anybody can join the club
@lead dog I agree. It’s a “free country”. :o) DBB
@Donna Blackman 😊
@lead dog and that is also the problem.
GOP is using Putin propaganda to defend Trump criminal acts !
The Putin angle is dead.
@34pat9art Trump was filmed asking Russia for help with his election campaign in 2016. Trumpers all seem to suffer fro selective amnesia.
@Leonie Romanes Let’s see that video. If you’re talking about his comment during the debates then you have no sense of humor and can’t recognize “tongue in cheek” statements. Did Hilary receive Help in her 2016 election from the Russian’s digging up dirt on her opponent? (Steele Dossier). The dems are always guilty of things they accuse others of – projection.
Gladys Alicea it was Obama who was best friends with Putin. He gave them our uranium. Obama also took away weapons from Ukraine to fight the Russians . Trump gave Ukraine everything they wanted.
On impeachment bribery . It’s not the Black Law they go by but how the framers of the constitution meant it. Very different. And you’ll have to explain and show evidence how Trump profited .
Obama did and he wasn’t impeached.
Obama even conspired with England to spy on the Trump campaign . Now that’s illegal. And the Mueller Report cleared Trump.
void main {void} those are words. Where is the evidence. Say it.
What tax fraud evidence do you have??? Where is it?
How can the President obstruct his own branch of government ??? Where your evidence?? Ever hear of presidential privilege???
Name one piece of evidence on anything ???? And not a fake statement. That’s not evidence
Jim Jordan went to law school but could never pass the Bar exams, so he ran for Congress so he can pretend to be a lawyer.
Bye Golly his job was to watch young men in their underwear rolling around on the ground
Gym Coach! Lol!
I wonder how many Repugs. took money or aid from Russia
That’s the question!Seems obvious some are compromised.
@Wayne Gilbertson I think we know who too
me too..
probably a combination of money and having become compromised during that russia trip.
I love how Joe acts if he wasn’t blowing Trump a few years ago.
I don’t like Joe any more than you do. However people make mistakes. Many people were Conned by the Don. The difference is when you own your mistake and admit to fault you can begin to mend the hurt. Joe has done the right thing and admitted he was wrong about Trump. It takes a real man to do that and he deserves credit for that.
I am a “far left” progressive. That said this country is a melting pot and every body deserves representation. The system our fore fathers designed was made to provide checks and balances with emphasis on balance. In other words we need a blend of conservative and liberal ideas to be a successful country.
In summation I would like to clarify that the system has moved too far to the dark side and we need a hard turn left to balance it. One man is the chosen one. Bernie Sanders 2020. Feel the BERN! Vote down ballot blue no matter who. Cleanse this disaster and send a message. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE CORRUPTION!
Donald Trump is having his “I’m not a crook” moment that Nixon had!
@guibox3 Not a crook? He’s been a crook his whole life!
@guibox3 That’s SAD …Real sad🙈🙉🙊🤦♂️😢
Oops. I meant to say ‘he is a crook’. My bad. 😛 I sounded like a Republican there.
@guibox3 it’s all good! 😉
Sharpie king wanted to make the press think he was reading from official documents.
Stealing and returning the money does not exonerate. Molesting someone but not getting them to come does not exonerate. Keep stroking Trump Jimmy and you might get that gravy you crave.
GOP insults intelligence, Nunez, Jordan- embodiment of imbecils
Sadly most of the GOP thing these con men are some kind of heroes. 🤦♂️
Jordan and Nunes are such boneheads and utter disgraces. But then again, that goes for most, if not all, of the GOP.
That’s why I quit the Republican Party in 2016.
@Dale Cox Me2, as soon as Trump won
Jim Jordan has lost a lot of hair since he started covering up trumps crimes!
😂🤣🤣
Republicans are throwing away their political party on a crazy old man.
Republicans have sold their souls.
@birdzilla106 new slogan, “we’re not Republicans, we just act like it”.
Crazy old man is what brought the scandalous Republicans to light. Now we know what’s been lurking behind the scenes.
@Annie you really needed Trump to know the gop are ghouls?
Michael Cohen is probably in jail laid back saying “I told you so.”
I wonder who wrote the note for Trump because he can’t spell
Jane- Zelinsky that’s the proof it WAS Trump’s note
