Senate Confirms Mark Esper As New Secretary Of Defense | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
People shouldn’t jump onto the sinking titanic..
Sinking huh? We’ll see
Bernie 2020, bring back America to it’s American peoples
@Dragonice Lakeoffire Democratic Socialism is not Communism. These big bang pow words only serve to scare and frighten the unread. Try to look up “socialism” videos if you can ‘bring yourself to stomach’ it so to speak. You’ll know that communism happened because of a great many things that happened to GENERAL socialism back when it was ancient and countries were trying new things to manage people.
Screw that. I like that Bernie doesn’t lie about the fact that his policies will destroy the middle class but i like having my own house and my own yard and property for my family to enjoy. Call me selfish but i really dont want to give that up because Bernie wants to give my money to everyone else. Ive worked hard to be in a good spot and so can anyone else if they put in the work. Imagine trying to save for a house if you’re giving 70% of your earnings to gov. Its impossible.
@TheAileZX2 America will never be a socialist country!
HAIL TRUMP!!! 🤚🤚🤚
THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The whole administration has that haunted I have no soul face.
Cuz the are on a list provided by Russian intelligence of people they can leverage because they have something on them. And then the Russians leak it. And the civil unrest they are fomenting grows.
If trump chose him, I wonder what all he’s guilty of.
Vince Barker that’s why so many of trumps appointees have resigned. Where do you see winning?
Putin is more likely doing the choosing since they have something on every one of them… it’s the Russian way: blackmail.
Trump put a Clinton operative on the Supreme Court and Trump supporters cheered. They don’t care what he does.
Being a patriot!
Ask the Russian Trolls flooding posts here that…
Let the resignation countdown clock begin
These guys drop faster than……
Than Clinton Foundation Witnesses?
Lois Lerner’s emails?
Trumpbecil jaws?
Good.
Here we go….. military industrial complex gets another gimp to help line their pockets with our tax dollars and then they turn around and cut 3 million off food assistance.
Bingo on the military industrial complex. But forget the free handouts. Should only be given to those who really need it. Id rather put the little bit of exta money i earn towards providing a good life for my son than give it to the millions who abuse those funds.
@ thiskidkatits …So you are more concerned about your tax money going to help Americans living in poverty than funding the military industrial complex, I really am not surprised that America is circling the drain when I read comments like yours.
Neg. id rather cut the defense budget as well as cut money going to people who abuse the system. Wouldnt you agree?
How many change of command ceremonies from People whom come from Lockheed Martin and the rest contractors must we endure for this Post. I ask a simple question. Can any 1 in government govern today?
Children as top advisors and ambassadors to capitalism have proven tricle up economics is not working for WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. I donot want to see a future five dollar loaf of bread. that’s where were quickly heading. 15 an hour minimum wage. Isn’t price lowering alot EASYER??? These guy’s all work fot the Nation of Coche…. (Nope no Governor’s here. just thieving business Men???
Ask the Russian Trolls flooding posts here that…
@Brent Slensker Thank You Mister Slensker, A key important Issue hat alludes Me from time to time. this is a true result of Unity Sir.
Did they run out of corrupt former Fox News staffers or something?
Msnbc has NO issue w this guy. Think about that. Out of all the things they’ve complained about, this Ratheon guy gets the “okie doke.” For those not paying attention, what does that tell you about the media?
It tells me you are a paid troll posting propaganda. I am SS your posts and reporting you to the FBI and House security council. Traitor or troll, we will find you.
A little logic got you triggered huh Mike? Don’t want people to think for themselves do ya? Don’t like when people question the media huh? Your communism is showing 👉
@thiskidkatits It tells me you are a troll posting lies. That’s why I already reported you. Weep all you want princess.
wow, that’s weird… MSNBC talked for 3 minutes without trashing Trump.
Its because this guy is a military industrial complex guru. Showing their true colors. Bunch of dems voted for him too. The media is the biggest threat to the people and this is a great example.
And the corruption of Trumps cabinet never ends, another lobbyist as a department head.
Justice department announces broad antitrust review of big Tech
so?
About time!
So where did the story on Trump suing New York State and the Democratic Ways and Means committee go? Disappeared as it was being watched.
Orange man bad. Bleep blop bloop
You nailed it, orange man filled the swamp with all the lobbyists he could find, he’s worse than bad, he’s evil.
Future-felon # what?
Trump loves surrounding himself with Gulf War veterans or people who never saw combat. Maybe he should try hearing more voices from people who served after 9/11. If you’ve studied HW Bush’s war, you know it wasn’t much of one.
90-8. Meltdown time!
Right on thru the revolving door..spinning like an out of control carousel
Yay, another lobbyist in Trump’s cabinet! Can we hire someone who is ready to serve the country, not the special interests please?
