Watch The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell Highlights: July 29 | MSNBC
Vote 🌊across the board your life, America and the economy literally depends on it.
The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
The “genius” who hides his college grades.
The “self-made man” who tax dodged a $413M “gift” from daddy’s real estate empire.
The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs.
The “playboy” who pays for $ех.
The “Christian”, twice-divorced philanderer, who never asks God for forgiveness.
The “man of the Bible” who declined to name even one of his favorite Bible verses.
The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
The “patriot” who dodged the draft; family tradition: grandfather was kicked out of Bavaria for draft-dodging, father bribed a doctor tenant to exempt Donald from military service.
The “paragon of honesty” whose new immigration rules would have kept his and his senior anti-immigration adviser Stephen Miller’s grandparents out.
The “steadfast defender of our nation’s borders” who married an alleged undocumented immigrant and illegal worker who sponsored her parents into the country by “chain migration”.
The “staunch Republican” who donated to Democrats at all gov’t levels: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Anthony Weiner, Harry Reid, Andrew Cuomo, Terry McAuliffe, Eliot Spitzer.
The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.
The “President” who takes no responsibility.
The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but almost never a mask.
If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows.

― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999
“A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days.

I mean we could have a great system in this country.”

I like her.”
― The Donald @ interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, March 2012

Lil’ Tronny Dump Bill Clinton stared that you have to lie because the American public can’t handle the truth
Bill Clinton dodge the draft and his wife sold 20 % of America’s uranium to Russia. Who cares
@Juan Valdez – ‘Uranium One’ was debunked years ago. Try to keep up.
Excellent! All you need to add is Lindsey Graham pre-trump potus.
America Lets make the Election day be a National Holiday so we all could be able to relax and enjoy the Election Day
@Eddie Sanchez you people sound STUPID. Get your butt out and VOTE. ITS the ONLY way to get rid of this disgusting pig
@Bj White – True, but they do not have to pay you for the time. Some people can’t afford to spend the whole day in line if they have an overcrowded polling location.
That said, I have been a permanent mail voter in California for over a decade with no problems. I usually drop off my ballot, because San Diego libraries have ballot boxes and it’s convenient.
wickednwyld This virus has been a blessing in disguise for us Democrats. Now withthe mail in ballot we sure to win
@Juan Valdez – This country has had mail in voting, in one form or another, since the Civil War. It’s not new. 🙄
This documentary explains a lot. It’s pretty interesting. I believe most of it. You decide>>>>enjoy

@William Marick The ONLY FRAUD is your Dear Leader, moron! And If mail in voting is soo fraudulent, why then, has Dumpff, and most of his lackeys, all voted by mail..multiple times!?? 🤔🤔 LOL Dumpff is trying his damnndest to stop the election, bc he knows he is done!! 😉 #DUMPTRUMP2020 #BLUEWAVE2020🌊🌊 #TrumpForPrison2020
@Jillian Adele NO ONE EVER TRIED TO STEAL AN ELECTION BY ANY MEANS
Brutally Honest It’s worse that we thought

Democratic ain’t no saints by a long shot
Replublican senators in full disgrace to their country
@wickednwyld And don’t forget that the Communists were Conservatives too, and the Fascists. Chairman Mao, Khmer Rouge, Mussolini….. All paid up members of the Conservatives. Right wingers have a lot to answer for. They could learn a lot from the left if only they’d listen.
@mr ady and mim yay – WTF are you on about? Communism is extreme left, fascism is extreme right. Either ideology can lead to a dictatorship. It’s not that hard.
@wickednwyld Fascism originated in Italy under Mussolini who before becoming leader was editor in chief of Italy’s most popular Socialist newspaper and upon becoming leader, Lenin wrote to him personally to congratulate him…….far-left, again. The fascists then allied wth the Nazis, the National Socialists.
@mr ady and mim yay – You sort of skipped the part where Mussolini got booted out of the Italian Socialist Party and formed the Fascist Revolutionary Party, didn’t you?
You are committing the fallacy of category error here, and I suspect that you know it. You also never answered my question about the Confederate flag.
@wickednwyld And Noam Chomsky gave an entire lecture on why the Communists were in actual fact far-right and not far-left so that covers it. Fascism, Communism, Nazism were all actually far-right Conservatives and during the American Civil War, the Republicans were in fact pro-slavery Democrats. It’s amazing how in just one day everything you thought you knew could be turned on its head. Thank you professor.
That’s why it’s spreading
As a Canadian I’m amazed by America. Why are people down there so crazy?
I’ve just written a book about that issue. Its title: Right Wingers Duped.
I keep asking myself, why all the crazies? Much of it seems to do social media propaganda. My close relatives abandoned me ‘cuz of their own political beliefs. Two in southern CA and one in Missouri. San Diego is largely, a conservative/religious city & Missouri is a red state. I’m an Oregon liberal and Climate activist/writer.
I fear they went off the deep end, not accepting science, logic, and human values. Not just them. Libertarians are to the right of the already right.
👍😆
Because there’s a crazy person in charge and his lackeys are to busy kissing his butt to care about anyone or anything else.
We don’t know. Perhaps if the penalty for refusing to wear a mask would be death by slow torture, maybe offenders would have a change of heart.
Masks are a sign of respect, if I wear mine it’s in respect to you.
Absolutely!!
Absolutely. I’m high risk, I wear a mask and do all the social distancing; the red hats get up everyone’s space and face, screaming at them for it. Ignorance and rage being stoked by right wing media.
Well said!
That’s about all they do, it’s alright but mask really don’t stop viruses
Masks do not prevent all transmission, but they reduce it by such a significant factor that it is criminally negligent on the part of Republican leadership to refuse them.
Putin doesn’t want mail in votes.
@mr ady and mim yay no they don’t Trump is a falled president who Putin ownes and Trump can not blame anyone but his stupidity Trump is so simple minded that I really can’t figure out if he is working with Putin or just being played by Putin can you figure it out witch i doubt you are as stupid as Trump is my counraid rassian bot lol vote blue 💙 vote blue 💙💪😄💪😎
What Putin wants, Putin gets so long as the Trump cult has power.
Putin envies Trump’s secret police in Portland.
@mr ady and mim yay and yet it was donnie constantly complementing xi
you must have a crappy memory dude, or ya think we do
“President Donald Trump thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping for his country’s handling of the coronavirus, shortly after American health officials confirmed a second case in the United States. “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus,” Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.”
you see any holes in your conspiracy theory?
😆🖕
The way the USA is going their will be 200,000 dead by the middle of August. Can see a lot dying in Florida, Texas and Tennessee and more in California.
@mr ady and mim yay Quickly??? LMAO!
@wickednwyld So had Hilary won, no one would have died. Man, those Democrats are good
@mr ady and mim yay 🤣😂 😆Perhaps you should get your facts straight. Oh right, you don’t want to. You are just trying to be a troll.
@mr ady and mim yay Trump did nothing for months; even his China travel ban was implemented after the virus was global and he still allowed tens of thousands from China to enter. Tell me, are you brainwashed or just another right wing liar?
@Mainely When Trump issued the travel ban not one person in the US had died of the virus and the Democrats condemned his ban as xenophobic, so had they been in power there would have been no travel ban. Try again.
😂😂😂😂😂 Joy said Fred Trump fashioned trump “into this tool………”, never a truer word was spoken.
Wasn’t that Mary Trump who said that?
Pat McCann She may well have but Joy said it at 4:57.
More like a weapon
Sean so well said genes don’t go far away
Reminds me of Disney’s :the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Watch it here on YouTube.
Trump “daddy I am so scare” ….. Putin “son, its gonna be just fine”
Looks like the USA is going to be banned from the rest of the planet for quite some time.
Thank Trump and the GOP. 😈👍🤷💩
Sure after savings it you Mindless child
@Carlos Stranger Your logic is as impeccable as your ability to express it in written form!
it’s called ‘mass murder’.. without going to jail..sad that this is happening to a country that was in most people mind the best place to live. Not anymore since this moron and his cronies is running the country.
Jeff Tan It’s even worse than u can imagine
https://youtu.be/MY8Nfzcn1qQ
Ok Karen
😆🖕
If masks are required, anyone refusing to wear one should be removed from the building by capitol police.
Agree, Kathleen, Sgt at Arms.
Karen has spoken 😆
@Richard G In this case ‘Karen’ is absolutely Correct. It’s the Fools that ARE NOT wearing masks that continue the spread the ‘Trump Plague’ Stats PROVE that.
@Varekai Ascendant Karen !!!
@Richard G Wow, Ken that must have hurt using your Limited intelligence.
If he recovers, detain him and milk him for anti-bodies. Then let him go after a few milkings.
Here is a tip for future; Stop picking psychopaths as your leaders!
amongs tthe blind the one eyed man will be king.
The GOP “best” may be idiots and radical nincompoops, but they still were the ones amongst their ilk that could talk the sweetest and look the most respectable…
Now let THAT sink in.
The Commander-in-Grift, President Jim Crow, must be immediately removed from the House of Shame!
