Sen. Leahy: If We Don't Reach Across The Aisle, SCOTUS And Senate Will Be Damaged | MSNBC
Quit wasting time. You cannot do deals with people who lie and cheat at every opportunity.
Amazing that the most influential president to the composition of the court would be the most corrupt one.
I think we can all agree that -Donald Trump,- from birth to his mid-seventies is probably the luckiest person any of us has come across.
@Cowboy Bob
corruption doesn’t require luck. only cowards who let it happen.
*ObamaCare is Depleting and Destroying Middle Class America*
Nov 2017 http://christiannewswire.com/news/6118980425.html
*The Affordable Care Act is not affordable. Middle Class America is feeling the burn as the ObamaCare premiums rise. For example farmers in Iowa are strongly considering other options to the Affordable Care Act because they cannot afford the double to triple cost in their premiums for their families. What happens to middle class America? Where can they search for ways to pay for medical care and not stress over their medical bills?*
Under the Affordable Care Act are these restrictions: patients cannot choose the provider of choice, religious freedom is hindered and patient and doctor relationships are chosen by the government. Solidarity HealthShare is challenging Washington, D.C. to educate their staff on health sharing ministries, the checks and balances of the ACA, the religious liberty hinderance and the solution for the middle and poor class health care crisis. Solidarity HealthShare provides a service that is community based, not government supported, affordable and provides the opportunity to chose the medical care desired.
Hahn concluded “Our federal government is forcing us to buy something we can’t afford and then fine us when we can’t afford it, it’s just unconscionable. I am encouraged by the President’s recognition of National Family Week. It creates a greater good for the health and welfare of the middle class and their families for future generations to come.”
Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 : He’s got a big old bag of n-o-t-h-i-n-g, are you so blinded by the propaganda that you chose naïveté instead. He takes credit for the Veteran’s Health Care plans that Obama implemented. It’s really a scary situation that the evangelicals have jumped behind this dishonest, self serving grifter. The programs do provide care options to millions that would be much much higher in the open marketplace. We need drastic healthcare reforms but it’s a gradual progression. I have the luxury of having a employer provided plan, but guess what- no raises, minimal overtime opportunities and I cannot afford to use the insurance because of the deductibles that have to be paid on the frontside.😷
@Joni M.L. I don’t think that one is even a live human being. Likely a Cambridge Analytica bot.
Isn’t damaging our faith in our institutions what our enemies (foreign, like Russia, and domestic, like fascists) want? Does this still come as a shock to people?
The FBI illegally made up evidence to go after Trump, remember? The institutions don’t need help damaging themselves.
Eric w – is that the reason so many are in prison…?
@Eric w No they did not. The only FISA warrant in question was a continuation of surveillance on Carter Page who had been a suspect for several years. The Inspector General testified in front of Congress and said everything else was above board and appropriate.
When have bullies ever given in when they have power? I know it’s a long time ago… But think back to high school.
Demo=craps and their antifa/BLM are the bullies.
💌🍑💝💝
@Natural Man you bought the line of the fascist. ANTIFA is anti fascist. I don’t believe it is an organized group as Trump would have you believe. Anyone who is anti fascist is a patriotic, democracy loving patriot, unlike Trump, whose principal motivation is to destroy. He has been that way all his life, and he isn’t about to change now. The only cure for Trumpism is to vote him out of power. There will still be Trumpists, but without their leader they will fall apart.
Disappointing, I thought he was better.
Where is the stimulus checks and the enhance unemployment
@Hill Billy The new stimulus proposed by Republicans DID NOT include a stimulus check. The Democrats are fighting for working people.
@Lotta Sunshine the demonrats only fight for votes and power, thats it you fool.
@Constituent A because the govt isn’t here to bail out the socialist states
Constituent A – Absolutely ‼️
Here they are with another judicial jab.. of the highest order. RBG isn’t even buried.🤬..Shameful hustlers… of course all they’ve done are appoint judges‼️
https://www.newsweek.com/mitch-mcconnell-grim-reaper-395-house-bills-senate-wont-pass-1487401?amp=1
Please vote! Be Well…😷🌏💙
@Hill Billy Silly comment. Where do you think the money in the government coffers comes from?
“I have returned from Germany with peace for our time”.
jvee bklyn : Donald Trump Is A Massive Swamp…. of course he recognizes it. He’s chumped just about 35% of our citizens in believing the lies and fairy tales he makes up everytime he speaks… all the reptile enablers help facilitate it all. Maybe a break from Fox Entertainment would be helpful.
@kwaii gamer I’m sure you are including Stone, Cohen and Manafort. None were part of the administration. Is your point is questionable ethics? ✔ There is a lot of that going on in DC.
@jvee bklyn – No the entire drain the swamp thing..it insults my intelligence..its not ethics when they get arrested. Your right it is politics as usual, but then don’t repeat the lie that he is draining the swamp, as Trump said he “could shoot somebody and not lose votes.”
@kwaii gamer He prevented 2016 from being a Bush vs Clinton campaign. He prevented Hillary Clinton from being president.
He blew up the Republican establishment in 2016. Tell me, is Biden/Harris your dream ticket? If that doesn’t reek of DNC corruption you need to get your nose checked.
@jvee bklyn – And those are good things? Anyway I see you changed the subject, I suspect you did that because that you don’t want to answer the question presented. Typical but to answer your question No Biden/Harris is not my dream ticket, but talking about corruption Trump/Pence is a bonafide nightmare…I knew it in 2016, and it has been confirmed over the last 4 years. I have never seen so much corruption, conflict of interest, and pure heartlessness in one administration. Going in a different direction I remember talking with one of my “cold war warrior” coworkers. If someone told us 20 years ago that our president would praise North Korea, Russia, and China, and bad mouth our allies, and our intelligence community and still have his job we would have called himher crazy. Then add the pure incompetence, like giving PPE to Russia, and paying for defective respirators…
We will all be dying some day and we never know when our time is up, and I can honestly say I hope every single one of them do not get their dying wish! I know this sounds pretty hard (they made me this way) but they are showing their nasty ugliness every single day all day long. Every single one of them are corrupt, If karma doesn’t get every one of them God will. I do have faith in that. ( my opinion )
This is karma for when senate democrats changed the rules in 2013 to allow a simple majority to pick the justices, also karma for the way y’all treated kavanaugh
Logan McLean – We’ll see about all of that soon enough..🔥😈🤡💩🎪
@Logan McLean So why did they lie in 2016? Why not say “this is the way it is since we’re in power” instead of lying about “let the people have a voice” and “the people who choose the next president should have a say…blah, blah” Lindsey Graham even gave his WORD and said to use it against him. Doesn’t a person’s word mean anything? By the way, did you notice Neil Gorsuch was confirmed and there wasn’t a big circus around his nomination? Kavanaugh wasn’t qualified and only got the job because of his biased political views.
Joni M.L.
We’re gonna get a judge, y’all already lost.
Oh God people. You are acting like we have all the time in the world to have the balance swing back. Climate change can’t f—-ing wait. We need a practical court, a practical Congress and a sane President ASAP!
You need to give up on this fantasy of reaching across the aisle. Those days are long gone. the Republican party have devolved into a party of greedy fanatics and cultists.
Democrats would’ve done the same thing in 2016 if they had the senate.
@Logan McLean Yup. Now they’re saying they’ll pack the courts if the win in November. I think Trump should pack them when he wins.
Didnt know you as a flip flopper Romney. Whats wrong with you. Guess he is one of them after all.
Actually, he is one of biggest flip floppers! He allowed humself to be humiliated by moron!
WildHeart
Payback for what you guys did to kavanaugh
He ALWAYS was.
We all remember the Republican debates leading up to the 2012 presidential election, where the vile Republican base literally cheered and applauded the idea of letting those without health insurance simply DIE. Mitt Romney ultimately won the bloodthirsty GOP nomination that cycle – he was PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE to the gleefully monstrous Republican base. The Republican party was a proto-Fascist Death Cult LONG before Trump. NEVER reward a Republican with a vote.

@Logan McLean what did we do to kavanot that he didn’t deserve or that the repubs wouldn’t have done if the shoe were on the other foot..btw..kavanot perjured himself..he WILL be impeached..
With Romney it’s all about Roe v Wade and the ACA. At least he didn’t give his word in 2016 (he wasn’t a Senator then) that he would wait until January. Graham, McConnell, Grassley and others swore to the American people and are breaking their word, which means nobody can trust any of them. Why didn’t they just say back in 2016 “We are in power and will do what we want” instead of all the BS about “the people should have a voice” blah, blah. Does that mean that we had a voice in 2016, 10 months before the election but don’t have one now, only weeks before one?
Jive Talkin’ ~ Bee Gees
It’s just your jive talkin’
You’re telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin’
You wear a Trump disguise…👎
Love it!!
It appears unless to reach out to Republicans and get them to accept reality. So, I remain skeptical, and angry.
you reach across the aisle with this crop of Repunklicans ……..and they ll steal your watch and rings….
😂
Fact check yourself bro the party of the KLAN was the Democratic Party, not Republicans
@c c The Klan moved to the Republican Party after Civil Rights Laws were passed.
I would not let Trump nominate me for anything.
He’ll make the next Supreme Court nominee pledge loyalty to him.
HE RESPECTS NO ONE
Reach across the aisle, senator? With which arm? Your Republican ‘friends’ cut both off a while back.
After Kavanaugh, why would the Republicans listen to anything the Democrats kick and scream about this time?
@Eric w They did not try to block Neil Gorsuch, did they? It was because Kavanaugh was clearly biased and a justice should be non-partisan. By the way, I didn’t think the sexual assault accusations should have been brought up after 30+ years (and I’m a victim) I just didn’t like Kavanaugh and thought there were better choices.
I think that “reach across the aisle” thing is supposed to work in both directions.
Democrats historically like to reach across the isle to give a quick reach around handjob to congratulate the GOP on getting what they want.
“I don’t think science knows” person who claimed there were airports in 1776.
That was indeed an asinine comment by Trump but posting this comment under every video turns this indictment into spam which is a shame. You don’t make the liberal side look good doing this.
@Jens Raab l am not so sure. Trump could sell snow to people in Alaska. He is one of the best salespeople around, and if you have ever been blitzed by a used car salesman, you know one needs reminding of the tactics.
The “reach across the aisle” boat sailed and sank a long time ago. Thinking Republicans will do the right thing is the definition of insanity.
Like President Pinnocho and his Putin Republicans care. Disgraceful !
