Pence Not Inclined Toward 25th Amendment Despite Trump Turning Riotous Mob On Him | Rachel Maddow

  1. It will become increasingly difficult for the republican party win presidential elections with the current and future democratic voting bloc (college-educated, black americans, asian americans, surburbanites, jewish, scientifics, etc). Furthermore, the republican base has become more and more working class whites, which means that there’s now a disparity between republican economic policies and what is actually favorable for their base. Unless there is a significant change in the republican party, the future looks very very uncertain.

    1. @Cathy W ‘gangrenous’ 🤔
      Now that is the BEST word I’ve heard used, to describe the current state of the republican party.

    1. @Bijan Mehrpour That is the problem then isn’t it….. what were once mainstream Republicans sold out their values through complicity, mealy mouthed semi-support and silence – just so they could gain the nutjobs votes to gain power. Now the loud and violent minority seem to be able to intimidate the majority of the party into subservience (sounds a lot like the NRA and gun control saga). Not sure which is the worse epitaph for Pence….. “traiter to the party”…. “traiter to truth, personal values and morals” or “traiter to the American people”. When Pence refused to do Donald’s bidding during the electoral college tabulation, he already got labelled traitor by the nutters… now he is trying to walk the middle ground. Good luck with that.

    2. They should all be charged with killing cops they were part of the same violent mob , invoke 25th amendment now , all involved in the mob should get the lethal injection or life in prison for killing capital police👮‍♀️

    3. @Bijan Mehrpour I can’t sympathise with that. They lied and lied and should have known better where those lies would lead. They brought it on themselves. Cowards run and hide.

    1. @Priest Fulton J Wingba JR There is a ton of prophesy that has not yet come to pass. But hopefully the Lord will return before the whole church has followed after false prophets.

    2. What is the word I am hunting for, very rude word when used this way, starts with a P and ends with Y, what is that word? What is that word I am hunting for? All I keep coming back with is Cat…

    3. @JamesAllmond hmm, let’s take this out rip it apart and examine it loooooolll (I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist)

    4. @First Last really? Because the only time they’ve showed up as a collective was at Charlottesville. I mean they’re not even an organized group are they?

    1. It has always seemed pretty surreal. Trump is a lot like the Joker except less diabolical, more clownish. But I think Dems started to lose the plotline. I still maintain that Q is a Russian and that Fox News is somehow connected with RT. Somehow it all became a feedback loop. And I think it began long before the election. Trump use to be a Democrat years ago. At any rate, there’s something in the water lol.

    1. Mike Pence already completely DESTROYED his political career, if he chooses to engage in another SHAM, illegitimate, illegal impeachment he will be committing SUICIDE and he will be killing himself literally!!!!!

    2. They should all be charged with killing cops they were part of the same violent mob , invoke 25th amendment now , all involved in the mob should get the lethal injection or life in prison for killing capital police👮‍♀️

  2. If he actually moved towards the 25th amendment, history will be kind to him. If he doesn’t, he will be history.

    1. Trump already put cross hairs on him. He is waiting for the end and will lay low and find a way back!

    2. @cc 1k Haha. I see what you did there. 👍 Nice call back of a historical reference. Sadly, it fits the current state of things too, doesn’t it?

    1. ​@Defund The Police – 2020 Well…that’s the problem I guess… because they hide behind the 1st amendment.
      I don’t know if they could be held accountable in court, they always find a way to twist things, saying they meant no harm… or that it was only sarcasm / entertainment.
      All in all, I’d say ” the less visibility they get, the better”… I definitely wouldn’t care if they were to lose the right to express their views on some platforms (Twitter, YT, FB,…).

    2. @Artie Fakt What do you think about people who work in troll factories and get paid to post comments on social media? What should we do with them?

    3. @Defund The Police – 2020 Aren’t journalists already obliged to tell the truth? Its only if you’re an opinion writer that you can get away with crap.

    4. @Mags Browne What do we do about all the trolls on youtube that are paid to spread misinformation and lies? Do we arrest them?

    1. Oh I wouldn’t say nothing. Once a month he goes down in the vault
      and have a good long look at his spine that he stashed away.

    1. @Jamie Macnair sabe porque eu intervi naquela cort poque ali tem um envolvido com ESTORIAS em Feicbook . ele estaria prejudicando o andamento da justiça . porque ele e um dos trump,s . o kavernaught e um deles . Naquela cort .

    2. That very day? No. Already on the first day when he came up with his inauguration crowd size nonsense.

    3. They should all be charged with killing cops they were part of the same violent mob , invoke 25th amendment now , all involved in the mob should get the lethal injection or life in prison for killing capital police👮‍♀️

  3. And you are surprised? Even if Penny is executed, the republicans would still be for Tdumb n his mob. Very sad!

    1. Impeach Pence too. He’s culpable. Literally protecting, harbouring a criminal. Conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Take your pick? We should all be choking the streets of Washington, in LAWFUL PROTEST, and DEMANDING trump’s removal. That’s the only thing stopping this from happening. No response from the people . . .

    2. They should all be charged with killing cops they were part of the same violent mob , invoke 25th amendment now , all involved in the mob should get the lethal injection or life in prison for killing capital police👮‍♀️

  4. Pence is not a man of dignity or action, he is passive in the face of wrongdoing after wrongdoing and when he is needed, he folds like a cheap tent.

  5. Southern Baptist author and Bible teacher Beth Moore“This Christian nationalism is not of God. Move back from it.”

    1. I’m speculating that these “Christians” who have mixed politics with their “faith” are doing as such because in the Lord’s Prayer it says “on Earth as it is in Heaven.” They think that it’s their calling to make the US a Christian nation. The lines are so skewed that the Proud Boys most likely believe they have God’s stamp of approval.

    2. a pastor of mine, many years ago, said this ‘when you mix politics and religion, religion loses every time.’ He was right. He’s a Methodist, if it makes a difference.

    3. @bearly traincot We were never meant to be a Christian nation. Period. My ancestors came here in the early 1700’s from one of those, was quite horrible if you weren’t their flavor of Christian. The era that many of my fellow evangelicals point to with pride for this country, is to me one of the lows. When we sent missionaries out to the word to bring them Christ. Idiots, He was there already, we bring nothing but the message and screwed that right up. Went into areas the Catholics or Orthodox and other had already evangelized and totally and I mean totally screwed it up. No wonder so many of those areas later went to Islam. Showed folks what petty folks we were with our competing Jesus and called into questions every one of his teachings with their actions. Now the same mindset has wrapped themselves around a particularly non-Christ like person, because they thought he would do their, not God’s, bidding and got us what? More division, more evil, not what Christ had in mind. I am beyond disgusted and angry right now.

    4. @JamesAllmond well you know, we are outliving our history, lol. The Catholic Church was very powerful in Europe. Despite the fact that many a founding father was Episcopalian (the Church of England) they thought it was pretty important to decree a separation between Church and State. I am an Episcopalian myself and I couldn’t be happier with that resolve. I think churches should pay taxes since they tax their congregants. And somewhere in the Bible it says that God said he could raise up stones to worship him so I don’t think any of us should get too comfortable with the idea of taking over a nation, lol.

    1. They should all be charged with killing cops they were part of the same violent mob , invoke 25th amendment now , all involved in the mob should get the lethal injection or life in prison for killing capital police👮‍♀️
