Trump Stocking Federal Courts At Historic Pace | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
To end democracy you need to corrupt a country and drive the wealth divide to extremes. Exactly what Republicans do. That they destroy the basis for strong capitalism with it is of no concern to them.
Michael Kahr What do Dems do again? Oh yeah, want our Military down to NOTHING so they can start a war and have the DRAFT again. Then give “free” stuff away, making it seem like they care but only want you to vote for them.
@Don Williams “corrupt a country and drive the wealth divide to extremes”..This is what the Left Wing section of the Govt is doing. how much more divided can you be where you have 100thousand homeless living, deficating and doing drugs on the street corner. in filth that the rich need not see, smell or acknowledge. This President has worked very hard to insure that govt is smaller not larger. when all we have are the fat cats at the top…Pelosi, Tech giants with no required tax base, and their groupies raking $$$off the top no wonder the trillions of dollars did not help the poor and homeless. where is the incentive to encourage the homeless to get moving and do something. That incentive will come from this presidents administration. I hope you will help come up with ideas that solve this problem not just ask for more money to be thrown at it, when clearly that has not worked for the past 60 years. Lets try something like CCC that worked at the depressions end to get our youth on track. or the tiny homes in the parks like Austria is doing. anything but allowing this drug infested, desease ridden non action that is costing a bloody fortune. Thanks for any ideas you have that are positive, send em up the chain
An unidicted coconspirator in a crime should not be picking judges; nor should a senate leader whose wife is his transportation secretary, and is also under investigation for fraud! This means all of the judges are illegitimate!
I think the idea of a President who lost the popular vote having complete unchecked say on any matter is absurd. Especially on appointments such as judges, naming Heads of Federal Agencies and the removal of executive orders. If the will of the people is the priority it would be something along those lines, but unfortunately it is the will of the donors and monied interests that are first and foremost their concern.
@Colin Faust- You are incorrect. Mueller said “conspiracy” is not a legal term but it was clear the Trump team did collaborate with the Russians (case in point “Russia, if you’re listening, release those wiki leaked emails” which showed Russian movement immediately afterwards.) Trump later went to his default, “I was kidding”.
Mueller DID NOT say the investigation was not hindered in any way. Far from it. He said that key players did not respond to subpoenas (Jr. for one) and that since the report was continually held up, he released it WITHOUT their testimony. When asked if they had been questioned ,could it have changed his opinion, he said it could have. He said that Trump’s written responses to his questions “were inadequate”.
He gave over 11 examples of possible obstruction, chickening out by leaving it up to Congress, knowing they would be perpetually stymied by the Republicans. He said that though he would like to say there was no obstruction, he could not.
Please get your facts straight and not from Trump/Fox entertainment.
It will take generations for our Great Nation to recover from the damage done by Evil, Un American Trump.
Make Racists Afraid Again OMG.. Do you only comment when your tampon falls out?
GEORGIA PECAN! He is? Is that why he fired Warmonger Bolton? Sometimes you Demtards make no sense. Oh, and lets not forget, you clowns said we’d be in WW3 within 3 months.
MSNBC says it’s Crucial to Win, in 2020…
Yet, they keep pushing for Status Quo Joe Biden/Hillary 2.0.. 🤦
Bernie/Tulsi 2020 🦅🌊🌊
@Colin Faust Obviously you live in a fantasy world, wake up to the reality that it’s not a good as moron tRump and his team of wackos is telling you. It took Obama 8 year to fix the mess Bush baby left. WAKE up and stop watching Fox news too.
EVERY time I put Senate on, you can Plainly see they running them through. No time for convos on this.
There is credit in appointing the most unqualified flock of lowlifes to American Courts. Congress will spend years if not decades impeaching the most flagrant incompetents one at a time. We must have faith that justice will once again return to America.
He shouldn’t be able to appoint the janitor let alone federal judges.
However he is
Pelosi is doing nothing other than collecting a pay check.
Pelosi has been compromised and needs to be investigated and removed.
I was thinking the same.She has been dragging her feet with this impeachment.Our problems in America are not getting FIX.✌
Penny Sutch So what problems are there with Trump that Obama DIDN’T FIX? Or are there NEW one’s?
So you go do that
There seems to be some underlying article that is causing her suppress her powers.
DONTHECON IS RUNNING THE CON OF HIS LIFE ON AMERICA
Impeach and incarcerate NOW people
Indi Pillai Yeah..Sure he is. WINK WINK.
He’s trying to fill up all these judges so he may be let go by them in the future. Too bad what he does now will still land him in prison at a later time. Trump is the most corrupt president EVER.
Watch him up and disappear after he leaves the WH..probably to Russia.
We are being played by both these parties who are both serving the rich through a game of good cop bad cop. The purpose the corporate media and comedy talks shows are serving is to constantly show you what the bad cop is doing, while keeping the mask on the good cop. Whenever the Republicans give tax cuts to the rich, the Democrats have to pretend that they hate it even though both parties behind the scenes have recently deregulated the banks again and are about to pass a massive outsourcing deal in the USMCA. Union membership was also allowed to plummet under Obama and Clinton. Democrats can’t serve the rich out in the open though cause they still need their voters who are getting screwed to come out and vote for them. It’s important that their innocence be maintained so they can go out and direct all your anger at the bad cop. That’s why it’s “Trump this, Trump that” all the time. Meanwhile Biden goes to a room full of rich donors and says “don’t worry nothings gonna change” and goes out in public and uses coded language like “bipartisanship is a good thing, we need to work with the Republicans”. And that is why he is propped up as the frontrunner and why corporate media is feeding voters the myth that he’s the most electable. We shouldn’t get our politics from corporations. Their policy preferences is just more supply side economics. Being socially liberal doesn’t mean much. It’s the economy stupid. Vote progressive
Judges who will follow the law and Constitution and not politics
Judges shouldn’t serve for life. They should have terms like everybody else in government.
Bezel Rakso Funny I don’t see you clowns asking for RGB to get off the SC. Or saying those Sen. who have been in office for 30,40 years to get out. Or agreeing with Trump when he said he wants TERM LIMITS.
@Don Williams I don’t see “you clown” keeping up with the lastest-https://www.businessinsider.com..
Oh.. but he’s just kidding, right? wink wink
Not a coincidence. This is the point. McConnel is the point man for obstructing Trump’s predecessor from doing what he’s allowing Trump to do at full speed. This is my shock face…
So what you’re saying is dems are stupid and Republicans are smart? I agree thanks MSNBC.
Stock them asap Trump. Awesome. MAGA 2020. 8 Straight
Which way did they go george! Aren”t you sick of this mutt of a potus……..Enough, vote Blue
you let him get full control of the courts and you’ve effectively made him untouchable… impeach Bill Barr… and do it SOON! (hang in there RBG, keep taking those vitamins)
Finally reporting on this CNN? You are swinging way after the bell on this one. Way after the bell. Stacking the deck. Surprised?
We live in a Democracy but Trump is trying to make it a Dictatorship!!!!
I’m with SH. None of these people who were appointed federal judges by McConnell can stay in that position, since these appointments were not authorized by all of the Senators and Congress.
Schumer shouldn’t have given some of these seats to the republicans when McConnell asked him for them. He tried to pull a fast one.
