Tom Donilon: Susan Rice, Denis McDonough 'Terrific Picks' For Biden Admin | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Nearly 300k dead. Still no Covid Relief package. Millions homeless at the end of the month,. BLAME THE SENATE.
@K. McKee very well done.
@William H MAGA tears matter
@B. T. Wrestle with pigs and we get filthy and the pigs like it
@J M M Blame your mom
@K. McKee What a load of pure crap. Biden is on record lying time and time again. First in his class-lie, marched with the civil rights movement-lie. A inside the beltway survivor-leech that has been there since the 70’s. Accused of sexual harassment. Opposed busing for inner city kids. He has serviced himself his whole life.
Republicans found 8 trillion tax $ for the market who pays 0 in taxes but 🇺🇸 people who pay the tax need food lines THINK ABOUT THAT
Get a job Gary
@B. T. Because they don’t want to have to take care of people who can’t or won’t take care of themselves. SIMPLE
@B. T. Many Wal-Mart’s have a McDonald’s INSIDE. This is because Wal-Mart was afraid some days those residents might choose McDonalds.
Everything you said was wrong. 8 trillion wasn’t from taxes it was borrowed/ printed from thin air; the people in food lines general do not pay income tax; and businesses do pay taxes whom btw are run by democrats (Musk, Schmidt, Katzenburg, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Dorsey, Sandberg, Bloomberg, Oprah, etc etc)
@B. T. The true Democrat ‘compassion’ presents itself. The rich irony of an elderly poor person, perhaps a veteran, without a college education, living in poverty and eating fast food causing you to recoil in disgust in your gamer chair in your dorm must have escaped your massive intellectual powers.
Trump’s decision to skip Biden’s inauguration is the only correct decision this imbecile has made in the past 4 years.
He would cheapen and degrade it just as he has done to the office of president and to the country in general.
@Rob Giles See what the courts say.
@Rob Giles Joe got more votes. So? I expected Trump to have trouble with that: he said, way before a single vote was even cast, that ‘the only way he could lose was if the election was rigged’. Is it the only way he could lose? Really? I get that he is highly popular amongst the R, but this is a guy whose national approval rate never reached 50%, never seen in any first-term president. To think he has gotten less votes is really not far-fetched.
@Rob Giles All republicans, obeying their master. Have they asked for a recount in any state trump won or is that a assumed to be fair.
@snowflake killer …like Trump about losing the election. Bye snowflake 😂🤣😞🐑🦜
Cheapen is it? Well I’m sure Biden paid through the nose for it.
Trump gonna do everything in his power to disrupt the coming in administration. (So sad sad)
So will all republicans
where is hunter ?
@J M M I can use quotes too
“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”
Why would everyone be forcing Biden down people’s throats and refuse open and transparent investigations?
I don’t like Trump but Susan Rice is mass killer of Africans check her foreign policy if she wasn’t from U.S. she would have been in international court for mass killings and torture of millions of Africans!
@Gigi Not the ‘everyone’, like Trump’s ‘they’ (there is no everyone or they). Investigations into what? Yep, you’re a not too bright Trump follower.
The GOP will deny them the appointments.
They are that anti American and unpatriotic.
Then we’ll suggest he does a Trump move: appoint anybody he likes -yes, AOC, why not? on an acting basis, switch them over when the time is up. Can’t go without a government, can we?
Andrea Mitchell was the only person to say bin laden on 9/11.
Although these other topics deserve attention…
Don the Con…..
Is running a scam where he is claiming rigged elections stole his presidency and encouraging his base to send money to his
” Defend me ” scheme which most of the donations will go into his pockets.
He took money from taxpayers while in office, now he intends to do the same, out of office.
A crook
A criminal
A conman
Once a Don
Always a Con
All the judges Trump and McConnell packed the courts with are suppose to be in on this fantasy fraud
They must be brought to justice for the crime committed against Democracy!
The GOP have declared war against the American people.
Yeah, the GOP are censoring, rioting, suppressing the news, etc. However, if you think the GOP has declared war, im sure there are many who will entertain that idea.
They are done. Maniac. This Deep State asset Rice is totally yours.
@Selah Dictators fear him. And Drug lords. He is more lethal than Jason Bourne.
@Sask Sun seekers You can jack your pole to it all you want if it makes you happy. Susan Rice and Biden et al are the opposite of the Sanders/ AOC Progressives/ reformers the people voted for. Good luck keeping them down.
@Chief
Dictators thinks he’s a joke but useful as a means to their ends.
Trump’s a cowardly bully. At some point in the future I won’t be surprised if Ivanka throws him under a bus to save herself and her children’s future from him.
Hide and watch.
We have never had a Dictator before! We have never had crazy Anti Democracy REPUBLICANS either!!!
Voters need to wake up and get the corrupt politicians out…we will lose our Democracy if we don’t!!!
Agreed. step 1. Figure out who started the fake Russian collusion story and arrest them for destroying the US.
Thank you to the 81 million Americans who saved the United States and the world from Trump.
Trumpism won’t die anytime soon, but electing Biden was the first step!
I can’t wait to see the Biden administration in action
You are so welcome! We did our best and out did the republicans. Now we have to work on get the rest of the pukes running our states as trumplicans
Nope
@Diane Hooper You sowed the seeds that will end the country. In a hundred years we will be broken up into new countries as the people realize that they just don’t have anything in common anymore. You do realize that you don’t get to just force everyone to your thinking right? I mean, you do know that or didn’t they tell you?? Any military member in any senior position will tell you the oft repeated phrase, “the enemy gets a vote”. We’ll see how far you can take your Revolution.
Now we know what Trumps meeting with Putin we’re about., to overthrow Democracy in our Country.
Athlete’s Foot Face Dementia Joe Kid Touch is the one who got millions of dollars from Russia for unknown reasons!
Very smart Isidra, I always wonder why our leaders don’t see these things, probably cuz they just ignore Trump’s wrong doings like IGNORING the coronavirus.
You hit the nail on the head.
@mole rat Thanks.
@Lizard Athlete’s Foot Face Dementia Joe Kid Touch was against travel bans and said that preventing the coronavirus is xenophobic,while Trump made travel bans! Its estimated that over 2 million Americans would have died from Cuomo-19 under Dementia Joe Kid Touch! #bidentouchingkids
Sorry, sir, Trump does not know what democracy is. All he knows is dictatorship.
Maybe but his results were awsome!
“the election went off without major disruption”????? What bubble does this guy live in?
This is one of the best articles I’ve read so far. The last paragraph in particular has a lot to do with the connection between this filing of the Texas lawsuit and the Covid-19 support … I advise you to read it …

BOTUS ‘can’t wait to see the Brat Of The United States behind bars, what he is doing is criminal adjoining treason.
We need to re.ember and stay informed long after Trump is gone. Pandemic showed our week leaders .
“Russer where are my voter fraud evidence?”
We need to keep people at home by passing an emergency stimulus bill.
The lady is killer cause of her millions of Africans have died!
