Susan Rice: 'This Is Most Irresponsible Leadership During A Transition' Ever Seen | Andrea Mitchell
Hold him accountable something that the Republicans have never did they spoil this brat
Why some of the republicans has to go along with Trump, I guess we got a corrupted government
Remember how republicans said government is dysfunctional?
Aren’t they the ones who’ve made it that way?
They are now the party of Q-crazy
They created this monster and now he’s out of control and they can’t stop him.
True but they had no problem hold Obama accountable and construction him at every turn
Trump is the key to senator replubican who want to run for office and is insane vote
Isn’t there some way of holding the trump administration ACCOUNTABLE for delaying or denying the transition process⁉️
@James Miller
Oh jimmy, PAY ATTENTION.
For me this is high treason against the constitution. Unbelievable!
@R W It will be close to 300k deaths by the end of his term. Murder in the second degree!
@bennjenn929 America needs the 25th amendment now,forget party.Lives are at stake.Voters will remember how politicians placed personalities before principles and people dying as well as starving.
@James Miller take several seats.you are part of the problem.ignoramus
Trump is the greatest threat to the country. Not only is he not doing anything to help, but he’s doing everything he can for himself or out of vengance.
Dawn Carlson: Trumps brand used to be luxury real estate. Now it’s Denial and Revenge. He will continue to deny so that he keeps his base fired up and then run again in 2024. Even if he doesn’t run, dangling the prospect of it will be enough to feed the rabid animals. He is not going anywhere. He will not be in the WH, but he will still be front and center. The country will hurt.
@Lee Harbick He is not going anywhere. He will leave the WH. Trumpism abounds.
@Angela Hamlett Greetings from NZ, please don’t involve God in politics, fanatics like you installed the orange moron.
@James Miller sure, without thinking and without reason and from the comfort of your home.
@F. Carlos Del Mundo Nope I am thinking I could use a nuke to pop some more popcorn for this movie.
What Trump is not doing is not leadership
@vilod learn some grammar fool
@James Miller Where is your evidence Skippy? Trump needs your evidence cuz he certainly doesn’t have any.
@James Miller Deluded moron!
@Manly_Man Didn’t need any evidence to spew Russian collusion so why do you need it now? Trump has all the evidence he needs. They have been putting it out you just are not tuned in to any media that tells you the truth.
@James Miller Why are all of Trumps cases being thrown out of court due to lack of evidence? You can say anything you want on social media but when you stand in front of a judge you better tell the truth and the truth is there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Trump is the worst thing that happened to America. EVER!!!
No, Slavery is the worst thing to happen to America. EVER!!!
Yup, especially his ugly face.
@CIB maybe. But consider this, trump is threatening to start a war with Iran that he was warned virus escalate to a “larger conflict.” I think the was an implication that if trump attacked Iran, it could escalate to the third world war, which will be nuclear. So, in an indirect way, trump is threatening a global nuclear conflict.
@Lisa Kelzer If this happens I think prophecy would be fulfilled and Trump exposed as the Antichrist.
The drug epidemic is but he for sure is a clear second place of the worst thing that’s happened to America …….
The current administration can’t share any intelligence because they don’t possess any……..
This just shows we, the American people, made the right choice to VOTE TRUMP OUT.
@Rashaenka The 71 million voters are mighty
Yeah, ok. Trump won by a landslide and you people are corrupt.
@Effie Rodgers Game over, Effie!
@Saffron Wetter : Can You See?
@Dan Renolds You should remember the number 400. Not crying they cheated at all. The evidence says they cheated but do go on spinning the media narrative like a good sheep.
Not just irresponsible during transition, it’s ever since trump took office
The current administration seems to be determined to cause as many American deaths as they can before they leave office.
@May LangThang It will not be over on January 20th. Sadly, it will only begin the next chapter. Trump IS the Republican party.
@AmyStar 305 Unfortunately, Mitch will gladly destroy anything that would help the ordinary American people. Anything to make the new administration look ineffective no matter who it hurts. Mitch was able to destroy anything Obama attempted to help the American people in his second term,
He is another Jim Jones
@rosalind ganymede Nope rosalind you’re right…the chaos will not die down overnight..and damage to America will take much time to repair and rebuild. The four (4) years of trump hypnosis will be a feat to awaken those under trumpism hypnotics…those who willfully remain sleep…follow and fall off the cliff trump will put the breaks on to keep from falling himself.
Money ==Medical Stocks =$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$=Trump and Crew,……………………
Trump firing a man for telling the truth is proof that Trump wants to hide the truth.
@James Miller
Is that so?

Do you think you’re playing with a child here! I don’t get right wing propaganda! I stopped that almost 15 years ago!
https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/federal-judge-rules-trump-and-louis-dejoy-waged-politically-motivated-attack-against-usps-will-rescind-recent-changes/
Facts brother facts!
@James Miller try reading a book. Voter fraud happens in every election and is not enough to flip a state. It takes election fraud to change the outcome of an ejection and there is no election fraud.
Why aren’t Republicans counting or challenging the results in red states if they are so concerned about fraud? Trump urged his minions to vote twice. If any major fraud has occurred, it would more likely be found in red states.
@Bad2da Bone and even if there was voter fraud, it isn’t enough to change anything. It takes election fraud to change the outcome of an election, and there isn’t any.
It’s proof their dirty.
@DeityFree Dee
You are the smartest kid in class! Gold star for you and a lifetime supply of 30-year-old Twinkies! Hint. They’re probably still good.
Trump: Everyone who dares to speak the truth must be fired . No place for honest career officials!
“Trump administration ” – that means he sees it as his personal thing.
No, there fired for not lying with Trump’s lies.
Trump only wants yes men !! It is all about him ,he cares about no one else !
@david hunt same trait as Hitler.
Speaking the truth is ABNORMAL to cons.
Trump doesn’t have respect for himself or for the American people.
Uh NO
to be fair i understand why tRump do not respect American people (at least 72 millions of them), when 72 millions vote for him after all he have done, and even now they are denying the result of the election, at least 72 millions Americans do not respect themselves or USA, tRump knows if any one cheated in this elections was the republicans, he knows the truth and he only can despise the people who follows him, they are just tools for him, or in this case a way to him paying is debts with donations, is hard having respect for this type of cult sheep’s, sad is the other millions of Americans who have to deal with this stupidity coming from the president and all his cult followers.
I don’t have respect for you idiots,either , I pay the price with my blood pouring out of my arms , I accept the deaths of my familycaused by cancer ,heart failure, drunk driver hit n run ,. But taking my own life is a crime
@Carlos Marques we’re not sure yet if it’s really 70million+ voted for him, they, maybe dead people, Russians or illegal immigrants voted for him because he has the pattern of projecting, he say things like cheating and stealing the result of the election when he is the one doing cheating and stealing, ask Lindsey.
It’s called narcissistic and he is the worst that I have ever seen in my life.
Trump is America’s biggest mistake. A mistake that has proven deadly.
@Belinda Paul Tell Rand I said hi, lol
@CIB What?!?!? Slavery is past tense. Trump is present tense.
@Linda Lauer Can you stop trolling and pick fights with everybody. Go get a boyfriend and have a life.
@Linda Lauer Oh, ok – got it! I think that America’s history of war-mongering is kinda f*cked up… plus, I didn’t understand your comment, so… you put these two things together and assume that you know something about my politics? #Logic
@Linda Lauer you are still going ….lol
Trump is killing Americans for his own joy. A spoiled rich kid with a magnifying glass. Guess who’s the ants?
And imagine over 71 million people said yes to him. Sad
@Andy Sleeter you hit the nail on the trump head. Fred is long gone…donald is cornered like a rabbid raccoon. His con man days are OVER. His debt to his benefactors IS now due…it’s time for the wannabe “teflon” DON to PAY all DEBTS DUE.
@Bridgett Johnson Please dont insult rabid racoons…. they are still cute, but Donnie has never been cute.
@Vampire Slayer Thank you, that explains his moral compass
I think it is more than that. He is working against his oath of office NOW and should be removed ASAP because he is a danger to all of us.
Trump wouldn’t value Biden getting security briefings, because he doesn’t value, or even pay attention to them.
@kim Brody
And getting his cult to give him money on the way out.
He has no shame.
His minions are completely brainwashed.
@kim Brody Biden should stay out of it. Trump has way too many issues to get a blanket presidential pardon, and he won’t keep his opinions to himself about Biden’s presidency. First, make him pay his back taxes. Then the State of NY gets their shot. If there is anything Federal more serious than taxes, let him at least get indicted.
@rimrock53 and Kushner, Donny jr and Eric.
@rimrock53 agree
@rimrock53
The other issue that donnie gets a free pass on is frivolous lawsuits.
And this goes back decades.
Lawsuits in general are an expensive proposition for the American taxpayers. All the staff, buildings, maintenance, security, etc….at taxpayer expense
He abuses the system.
He costs taxpayers more than 10,000 other welfare queens combined.
Donnie is the ultimate welfare queen.
It’s more important than ever to turn it over to Joe Biden because trump is worthless
As Mary Trump predicted, Trump is simply going to try and break everything on his way out out of spite and rage.
😳😷😣
@C Hoc When he pulls the guys out of the war is he going to sentence
the ones that are left behind to death ?
@sl97aq Haha, yes, no screen time for you Donnie, you’ve been a naughty boy.
@sl97aq No I think we need to take away the Senate ? Then maybe they will stop ? ( Maybe ? )
@Mary Quinlan Unfortunately we don’t have a Parliamentary Government where a Party is elected. But also, when a Party has been so corrupted by one person, or maybe the corruption encouraged to fester, it makes it extremely difficult to oust such a blight on democracy. The process was fully tested and found wanting when two and a half of the three checks on power have been corrupted, you don’t get very far. The Executive Branch, the Judicial Branch Leadership and the Legislative Branch’s Senate have all been under Trump’s spell which leaves only the House with the checks and balances. The likes of Mitch McConnell (Senate Majority Leader) who is the biggest Trump enabler is just as corrupt, if not more, is the biggest cause for alarm as he has just been elected back in for another 6 years. Having said that, hopefully, he hasn’t got another 6 years left in him at 78 years of age.
His whole presidency has been irresponsible leadership. Not surprised it ends the same as it stared leaderless.
right answer
What I’ve been trying to tell people for four years is that this man is a sociopath/psychopath and they didn’t believe me or said I exagerated. A psychopath NEVER takes responsability and if he goes down he will try to do his utmost so that everyone and everything goes down with him! All we can do right now is damage control.
Trump is trying so hard to hide how much he’s screwed up… we’re gonna find out some nasty, scary stuff soon.
This is not just Trump it’s also the republicans. They all need to take responsibility 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
They won’t. But they should.
Correct, Cruz, Rubio, Barr, Pompeo what a crowd of clowns? How far and low America has fallen.
