President Donald Trump Finally Succeeds In Corrupting DOJ, U.S. Intelligence | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Time to revolt America!
America is already revolting….
I’m in.
It’s already happening. We Deplorables are cleaning our guns.
Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT …..you got the deplorable part right.
Enda Mac Mullan: “Time to revolt America!”
Quick! Put all the Liberal nursing homes on Red Alert! π¨π¦½ 𦼠𦽠π¦Όπ¨
The time has come! π π π€£
This happened because you have bad laws, you have no regulation for those officials. And you have law and constitution that allows trump to be above the law… you have no way of legally holding them accountable… so… change your laws guys…
Dmitri Fukov : Like you have? . . . Gimmeβ a break, PooTin π
The Tweatles : Weβll see about that, son . . .
@Ash Roskell first off im not Russian, second yes I have.I’m ex us army.Dummkopf
@Ash Roskell well, in other modern democracies, you can raise charges against president, and you can get him indictet, and put him to prison, and so, that removes him from the office. In other countries you cant be the president if you do criminal acts…
Dimic Dragan : And, when you canβt do that any longer? I think thatβs when itβs time to start coming to terms with the facts, donβt you? Maybe your Democracy has ended? Perhaps, what youβve got there, is a Dictatorship, now? Unless the people rise up with revolutionary zeal, in November and are willing to fight for the restoration of the Republic, Iβm afraid thatβs all youβll ever have?
Some of the The laws in u.s.a must change, so that no one can abuse the power Again.
@Jackson McNeil *You are an individual*
*You are Free*
*You are an American*
*Trump 2020*
@Jackson McNeil If he was younger, yes, the goal is probably putting his children in power since his years are quite limited regardless.
@Modsy That is a good point. I can see that happening, since Trump has the Department of Justice on his side and he has continued to appoint Loyalists to Key Positions in the government…
And…another 4 years of Trump, he will be able to have time to bend the rules or influence in his favor so possibly his sons or daughter, Ivanka, can be the Republican Nominee. After all, Trump will be in so much legal trouble after being President that he would try to protect himself with a person who wouldn’t go against him when he/she is President…A lot of speculation but knowing how crazy Trump is, it is a possibility.
@PSoul Yeah, that is a possibility, especially with how he only appoints Loyalists and the Department of Justice covering up for him, while he fires anyone who doesn’t agree/listen. Crazy President we got here.
The orange devil doesn’t obey any laws…….haven’t you heard?
And he also replaced the board members of the federal reserve in case you missed it.
. The fox is in the hen house
@may wilson the reason why the scotus doesn’t look good cuz even if ray Charles replaced rbg he can see trump did nothing wrong.
The democrats in their haste had the entire time to subpoena witnesses, but chose not to and how is that Trump’s fault?
@Wild One I’m good,you can bleach your teeth if you want
The President has very little say over the fed they are private not governmental and donβt answer to the congress or President
@Tammy Elizabeth that might change in the near future since it’s being incorporated into the Treasury department
Dmitri Fukov no itβs not the fed is a collection of private banks that will never let themselves to taken over by the government they wonβt even let the government audit them
God save the USA — for the record, I don’t believe in God, but Don Carrot unfortunately is real
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT LMAO.
You can’t seem to get ANYTHING right today, can you.
Look at all the negative responses to your comments.
I was right first time around.
Wanker Alert.
@Reg U I luxuriate in your ignorance. I get everything right. An Apache helicopter is coming to town, loaded to the wingtips with devastating firepower. The pilot?
General Michael Flynn.
Keep yanking your wanker Reg. Reality bats last. You lost your mind when Trump defeated Hillary in 2016. It only gets worse for you.
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT Still having trouble with coherent thoughts I (and now the world) see.
Go have another beer.
And so is the pandemic, that’s why their ” alternative facts ” ain’t gonna work for them. Pandemic don’t watch Fox and they never lie.
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT Lmao you trolls are ridiculous
It should be called “the just his department”.
Is this the part when America becomes great again?
Yes make America great by draining the swamp and getting rid of liars like full of Schiff, Comey, Strzok. etc
@Borvo Open your eyes…Trump is part of a world wide revolution….Yeah you did not see it coming….could be you can not see it now…..Just relax…..nobody has lost any control…..not even you.
@Borvo I am a Chinese Canadian and have no intention to attend any American political circus show. Just comment on what I observe. Saying Trump is prosecuting political enemies just sounds ludicrous to me.
And a word of advice, America’s real enemy is CHINA, not Russia, not Trump or Obama. I escaped communism to warn the world. Follow the money, especially Chinese money, then you will know who is going to be the death of USA.
@Double Wingsη³ε± ηΏΌδΉ±θ°ε±±ζ΅·η» What I am saying is that Trump is trying his best to prosecute his political enemies by, with the help of AG Barr bastardizing the DOJ . Trump and his minions, have caused a great number of brain dead Trump acolytes to lose faith in America’s democracy and institutions, including the media, that prop up that democracy.
Hopefully, in November there will be enough Americans that realize the destruction that Trump has wrought on the USA and vote him and the corrupt Republicans that support him out of office.
– – – It is truly amazing how Trump is able to corrupt everything he touches and I do marvel at how Putin was able to identify this power of Trump’s so early.
BTW – If Trump wins in November I will make an attempt to become a Canadian citizen. I seriously doubt that the USA could survive another 4 years of the chaos he has brought.
@IWashMyOwnBrain Hi Russian Troll.
Have to admit you folks are doing a great job of implementing Putin’s plan for America. Putin was incredibly prescient in backing a guy whoβs own ego is of more importance than international obligation, global alliances or American lives. Putin is a shrewd player.
You along with Trump and his minions, have caused a great number of brain dead Trump acolytes to lose faith in America’s democracy and institutions, including the media, that prop up that democracy.
Hopefully, in November there will be enough Americans that realize the destruction that Trump has wrought on the USA and vote him and the corrupt Republicans that support him out of office.
– – – It is truly amazing how Trump is able to corrupt everything he touches and I do marvel at how Putin was able to identify this power of Trump’s.
Please please people for all our humanity do make sure these corrupt criminals are kicked out of office, all of them.
@eurekajim #VoteBlue2020 again Democrats ignored Trumps travel bans, also you act like Americans don’t vacation in China or you act like every Chinese person lives in China. Again ignorance at it’s finest.
A Concerned Dothead could be, doubtful though. How many times have you heard your Supreme Leader hatefully attack Democrats. I admire your loyalty and despise your blind loyalty. Donβt worry, itβs going to be ok.
That why Iβm voting republican straight down the ticket
Not happening
fat chance. they control us now. roll up your sleeve. it won’t hurt
I hope no laws are changed; and after the election, when the shoe is on the other foot, kick them in the nuts. Prosecute them all to the fullest extent.
Who do you think Dems will nominate in 2024 after Trump’s second term?
Ian Morgan if Trump gets re-elected the federal statue of limitations will have run out which is five years and your fever dream of Trump in handcuffs will be over
@Mango Rain Your mom and I always take a vote.
@Tanner Wilson No. Don’t change the laws. We’re up next. We need to screw these redhat nut jobs. Send them to Guantanamo as the traitors they are.
Ian Morgan Pulling out of groups like the ICC should not only be frowned upon, but 100% illegal. Itβs usually a sign that some really awful crimes are going on!
UNMASK ALL TRAITORS CONSPIRING WITH PUTIN AND ATTACKING AMERICA
@Mind Freshener Feb 29, 2020
Trump = 68 infected, 1 Dead

Trump Death Cult = 1,595 Dead Yesterday
@William -Aww, poor, triggered RUSSBOT TROLLS spreading the LIES TRUMP AND PUTIN WANT-COWARDS HIDING BEHIND SCREENS. WE WILL BE COMING FOR PUTIN
@Robert Watt -Perhaps but you RUSSBOT TROLLS will rue the day. Drink up, Boris’….
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT Unfortunately he missed YOU!
@Singer RB You really, really down deep love Trump. Confess.
“Show me your friend and I will show you your character.” African proverb
@SmileMan64 aka BenjaMan64 “hello, its me Jose , I’m under the burro again making moooney , be home sooon” .
@Kat C what’s wrong with that ?
@thomas fletcher, life’s not fair, huh? We get to wear our hoodies in public day and night, but y’all can only wear y’all white sheets and pillowcase hood in private and at night.. life’s not fair.
@Gary King that’s what I said .
@thomas fletcher, I understand that Trump is the closest thing to what you miss so much. Poor thing.
So much for the constitution.
Trump and Barr are right out in the open showing how to create a deep state, putting politically motivated into government and having them do things for politicians interest and corruption instead of for the people of the country who are paying for the department and their salaries. The DOJ was corrupted the day Barr cam in, he make corrupt Jeff Sessions look like a nominee for the Profile in Courage award which is very sad. I think Trump distracting, reminding, politicking when he should be focused on the virus once again raises the possibility the next administration will do a deep dive on unfinished/unstarted investigations on the Trump administration and at least prosecute the low hanging fruit (no lying to the FBI prosecutions) they find.
@myko freder Obviously the Deep State exists and you have no problem with it at all. They hate President Trump, God, and our country.
We were never βgoneβ… we are fighting… Donald Dunce is surrendering..and his trickledown narcissism is infecting so many victims physically and mentally
you deserve to be victimized. Your unlimited power is finally coming down and you hate it, understandably.
Once you have a corrupt justice system you begin the slide down to 3rd world country status.
@Sean Bailey But Obama murdered 7,989,000,000 people in 2009. Helped ship our manufacturing base to china. He also helped Iran get the bomb. You hate Jews that much Sean?
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT It’s fun to make stuff up! And I bet you just LOVE to kiss the enormous orange behind of the Colluder-In-Chief.
@Sean Bailey
Ahhhh…………the fragrance of desperation. The Flynn thing has you pooping your diapers eh Sean?
Revelations are not just in the Bible.
Remember how lost and frightened and enraged you were when your goddess lost to Trump in 2016?
The Revelations are coming. I know. I know. Like most desperate progs, you just stick your fingers in your ears and crunch up your eyes.
It won’t help Sean. Truth is coming.
@Liberty Guns Beer Trump equals LGBT The penalty for committing a crime is not getting fired: it is you go to jail. My estimate of your IQ is getting lower with every comment you make and it was never high. And as for your infantile crap about the impeachment witnesses: oh dear, you have spent far too much time on conspiracy sites to have any contact with reality any more, so I will block you.
Colluder In Chief, Colluder In Chief, you like the taste of Colluder in Chief. Which part of Colluder in Chief tastes best, his tiny mushroom or his enormous behind?
Surely it’s more than coincidence a mafia godfather is called a Don?? Don Covidone?
Didn’t you see “The Godfather” ? Very accurate movie about the Mafia . Listen carefully so you don’t keep sounding stupid . YOU HAVE TO BE 100% ITALIAN TO BE IN THE MAFIA . YOUR ANCESTRY IS REVIEWED BEFORE YOU ARE ACCEPTED . Is Trump Italian ? No . Are you stupid ? ……….
Christopher Simons Don Chloroquine
@TheSilent People even better!
MORON
@Dan Alan my bad, sorry I’ll call you by name, Mr moron.
Instead of a banana republic, we will be an orange oligarchy!
Watch for that FCC replacement. He’ll be the nail in the coffin when it comes to the populous having means to even discuss
Checks and balances are meaningless when the scales are rigged.
If people(GOP) refuse to enforce those check and balances they worthless.
This Would be the Greatest thing I could Imagine on Tv.
Picture the scene: Donald Trump stands in a courtroom sporting an orange jumpsuit. Handcuffed, his carefully coiffed mane is slightly dishevelled. He is uncharacteristically subdued after taking a shellacking on election day – November 3, 2020. His perpetual, painted-on bronze tan has been erased to reveal a chalk-white complexion. Looking old and forlorn, head bowed, Trump finally, belatedly, faces a judge and the long-overdue judgment he has so fittingly earned.
The Whole World would Tune into that TV show. The Networks Rateings Would Never be Higher.
We can only Hope,
To even remotely have that happen, make sure you tell anyone you know who is sick of what this dangerous Baffoon doing to our country, is to MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. God help us if Trump gets another 4 years to Drag our Country Down.
@R L T THE ONE WHO IS NUTS IS YOU!!!!!
@Anna B NO YOU ARE CLEARLY THE NUTJOB.
@Anna B -Anna, RLT is a real, live RUSSBOT TROLL. Study his site and his comments and you’re going to see how easy they are to spot.
That would be great fun to watch!! ππ
Trump orange jumpsuit would match his face!!! He’s a global embarrassment! He blagged his way into politics which he knows nothing about!! π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ
@R L T -We don’t discuss domestic politics with the people who are ATTACKING AMERICA NOW-
The FBI needs to start arresting all these criminals.
lol. I see MSNBC watchers still do not even know what the FBI did.
@Mango Rain Oh they know — and they’ve been cheering-on their deep state operatives all along. This is war.
You need to pay more attention. They are the criminals.
