Sen. Warner: Foreign Adversaries Will Notice Our Vulnerabilities During Transition | Hallie Jackson

    1. Yes..It is probably in our best interest to get him out immediately. It’s clear he is not here for the people and serving his own interests trying to save himself at our expense.Trump is an American traitor

    2. @Alex if he isn’t tried as a traitor when this is all said and done it will be the greatest legal travesty of this nation. How can they keep letting him get away with this crap and have the government retain the faith of the american people? The law must be abided by. By everyone or its just a joke

    3. Trump can do a lot of damage in the remaining 72 days as president. The Secretary of Defense is the person who authenticates the nuclear codes with the president before launching. From day one The Secretary of Defense has been at odds with Trump. Trump has gone through 7 acting Secretaries of Defense including General James M. Mattis. Remember Trump is the first president in modern history, since World War II, to threaten a country, North Korea, with total nuclear annihilation. The only reason why it didn’t escalate into all out war, was because of the efforts by the former Secretary of Defense, Robert O Work who served under Obama and then Trump. Think about that for a moment. Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, warned us that the next Secretary of Defense will be a yes man, and God help us all. Trump will install someone like William Bar, a spineless yes man, who is totally loyal and will blindly do anything Trump says. This is very dangerous.

    4. @Charlie White thank you to give me this fact list as it happened and brings us to today. I appreciate you. Linda

    1. No comments my dear,
      We the Republicans have respect for our country and our constitution . We trust that every single citizen has the right to express themselves and litigate in court.
      You are a free American citizen . Let’s wait calmly. God will decide. Coffee ☕️ or Tea 🍵? I love you ❤️

    2. As his niece has stated, he will try to burn down the place on the way out. He could not care less about this country.

    1. @Immortal SoFar And he’s very dangerous in this state of mind. I pray he doesn’t act out and cause horrible catastrophe.

    2. @Jamie Murray sun tzu said it best plus don’t underestimate…you don’t the caliber of either candidate…there not our friends

    3. @1madmaxx80 He was certainly what they wanted – a weaker United States with far less international influence. When he came to power, 95% of international trade was in dollars, 2 years ago it was down to 65%. Anyone know the current figure?

    4. Trump will be in prison soon. Trust me. The government will not allow a security risk as unhinged as Trump to walk free. The only question is what charges will keep him locked up the longest. There are plenty to choose from. I say let New York have him. He can’t get pardoned from those charges, and Rikers Island is nice this time of year.

    1. @Michael Chabler so you mean Obama? He was well known for drone strikes that killed innocent children and U.S. citizens. Oh are you just going to gloss over that?

    2. ….because everyone in your family knows and calls YOU a loser, doesn’t mean other people are. 🙂 Go get your GED, then post again, Chuckles.

    3. @Accolade Awarded I have a master’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Historical Studies with a focus on History of the Congo from UC. Hence the massive interest in facts and technicalities as well as the problems in Africa now that are because of air strikes and bombings ordered by Obama.

    1. Do what exactly? Defend the integrity of the system? They should look into EVERY accusation of voter irregularities if only to help foster the unity they claim they want now. Libertarians have no problem with it; even Jo is saying she supports It, so what are Democrats so afraid of?

    2. @Stacey Ellis trump is the only one who questions the system cuz it did not allow him to RIG it enough..
      He could not stop a mass voter turnout which his covid and mail suppression attempted to do. 2016 allowed him to win with ONLY 25% of the eligible vote AND major help from almost 50% of voters who did not turnout.

    3. @John Nordby we all know 2016 Trump didn’t actually win. He just stole it, as he always tries to do! But this time God had a plan….and that was mail in ballots and a plague! Can’t fake those, and Trump thought messing up our postal system would take care of that. Jokes on him and his clown administration! Can’t wait to see him go in a few months.

    1. @Charlie Mac
      And that’s the scary part. Half of the voting electorate still voted for him. I’m not sure Biden would’ve won had it not been for a deadly pandemic. I worry about this new Trumpist cult and their ability to incite chaos and violence without much effort. Sure, Trump will no longer be President and that’s great but the monster he created was released from the cage.

    3. @Dion Dimucci … allegedly infected with covid19. That T rump required the Walter Reed doctors to sign a non-disclosure agreement is suspicious — or maybe what he wanted hidden was absence of evidence of bone spurs.

  1. Trump obviously wants to create as much unrest as possible,and continue to wreak havoc to achieve the end result to his means and for his own best interests, which is what he has been doing all along, with no regard to either the country or his followers.

    1. Yes but the thing is, he brought the Russians right into the White House and showed them directly what the vulnerabilities were, I believe the first week he was there. I guess when he leaves he will give the rest of the information for the rest of the money, that Russia is going to give him, but they have to give it some time so they don’t suspect him. when he leaves, you know but like he said where I’m going to go if I lose? Back to Papa sounds familiar doesn’t it? quid pro quo!

  2. Now we know that no one can tell trump he lost. He takes is as they’re calling him a loser. Hence, they get fired.

    2. TRUMP IS THE DARK CHOSEN ONE, THE DEVIEVER, THE LIAR, BRINGING IN CHOAS, DEATH, CONFUSION, DIVISION AND DESTRUCTION. HE HATES MANKIND. HE REPRESENTS THE VERY DEEPEST, DARKEST OF EXISTENCE, THE OPPOSITE OF GOD. HE WILL DESTROY US IF WE LET HIM !

    1. @Karen Whinesalott exactly..how many of his people are either in jail or charged with crimes. POTUS has to pay for his crimes.

    2. @Karen Whinesalott Trump is not the one acting like a despot, declaring himself a winner before an election has been certified. That would be Biden. The U.N. uses that as one of its criterion for unfair or irregular elections in corrupt countries. So Biden is literally acting like a facist dictator if you want to get technical. When Biden starts up the war mongering agenda again are you going to support that too? Just want to know what level of hypocrisy I have to look forward to.

  3. So predictable, so frightening. As an American I never thought I would feel this way but regarding foreign policy I do.

  4. Of course. And, that is exactly what trump wants. Perhaps he is staging this for China Russia or North Korea.

    1. Thank God other people have noticed trump has been setting us up for a foreign invasion.That was his whole point in killing us all off with COVID-19. The dead can’t defend this country against an orange monster that makes Benedict Arnold look like a patriot.

  5. They have noticed how corruptible the GOP are, and how GULLIBLE the people are, and Us is bloody finished unless the US can clean up their stupid.

  6. Why are they unable to stop him from doing this even though he’s still position of office .why is there not a law that prevents him from firing all these people and placing the United States in jeopardy for their security? is there nothing that prevents him from doing certain dangerous and detrimental things, during this period before he actually walks out the door .

    1. @Jamie Murray

      Any sensible European hold his breath for Ukraine.

      In the South Chinese Sea I recon they have some serious doubts as well.

      TBQH, the one thing saving us now is Trump’s unpredictability. He might just throw a nuke. I honestly see him picking that if it’s one of the military options presented to him.

      ‘What’s the use of having them if you’re not using them?’.

      That a direct Trump quote.

      And remember, he speaks his mind and does not kid.
