"Trump was fired by the American people. Like a disgruntled employee he stole 27 boxes of classified and top secret documents and took them to Mara Lago illegally."
Ryan Riley, Katy Tur Reports, MSNBC
If Republicans get the Congressional majority in November America will enter into a limbo somewhere between 1940's Nazi Germany and the Handmaid's Tale.
I agree 100%. A convicted felon former president should absolutely lose his secret service protection. They would be protecting a criminal. Because he used to be president shouldn't matter.
@tmprowell
I agree with Tatiana. Americans are in for a huge WAKE UP CALL. We will face the inevitable horrible consequences because mostly UNVACCINATED Republicans REFUSED to do the right thing by wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Covid DOESN'T CARE about your "personal freedom".

MTG and Boebrt are Christian Nationalists which is in DIRECT OPPOSITION TO DEMOCRACY. Rob Reiner said on CNN Newsroom he is making a documentary on Christian Nationalism that we be out soon to EXPOSE the C N for the political FRAUDS they are. They want to subvert our democracy.
Similar to Greene's remarks, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) recently shared her opposing view on the separation of church and state. According to Boebert, the church should "direct the government."

Al Franken, former Minnesota US Senator, CNN Newsroom, CNN
Merrick Garland has ZERO excuse fir NOT charging Trump in the Mar-A-Lago confidential top secret documents case. Trump is just a regular citizen just like the rest of us. Reality Winner got 5 years in prison just for taking ONE top secret document. Trump got HUNDREDS.

I liked Trevor Noah's comment about Trump and the "top secret" documents. Since Trump couldn't be bothered to read the Presidential Daily Brief that has secret information in it Trevor said, "Has Trump been able to secretly read this entire time?"
Tonight on the Rachel Maddow show, she showed 4 white older males committed voter fraud in the 2020 election. 3 of them got probation and 1 got 3 days in jail. In Tennessee today black woman who had been convicted of felony in 2015 had a certificate from her probation officer.
On the Rachel Maddow show tonight Jane Meyer of the New Yorker wrote a story about an organization called American Accountability Foundation.They are a tax-exempt organization whose goal is to suppress EVERY Biden nominee funded by Trump world. They were behind the KBJ smearings

Jenna Ellis IS THE LOSER and a traitor to our democracy. Biden gave medals to true Americans who want to preserve and protect our democracy. Unlike Trump who gave the medals to traitors like Jim Jordan and Rush Limbaugh who are ABSOLUTE TRAITORS TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
Biles - 19 World Championship Gold Medals, 4 Olympic Gold Medals. Most decorated US gymnast in history.
Rapinoe - 2 World Cup Gold Medals, 1 Olympic Gold, Named Best Player in the World in 2019.

Former Minnesota Senator, CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta
The Republicans are poised to vote for a man for Speaker of The United States House of Representatives who helped try to overthrow The United States Government. Let that sink in.
The problem is Congressional Republicans like Ron Johnson, Louie Gohmert, Mo Brooks, Josh Hawley, etc. are betraying our democracy and are still allowed to keep their jobs.
Rick Scott invoked the Fifth Amendment 75 times when deposed for committing the largest case of Medicare fraud in U.S. history and was fined $1.7 billion for it.

Today on The Reidout on MSNBC Joy Reid did a story on how Governor DeSantis will only allow one company to publish math textbooks for Florida because of CRT. Governor Youngkin was with The Carlyle Group for 25 years and owns 7 million shares of stock. Coincidence??? I think NOT
1/ It has been well past time to take off the gloves and defend our democracy from the assault of MAGA white "christian" nationalists and the Republican party against our constitution and our country. If you value our democracy and the freedoms, privileges, and rights

Governor DeSantis is in charge of a Florida economy that's on the brink of disaster, yet he spent 12 MILLION dollars of Covid Relief funds on a migrant transport political stunt. DeSantis is totally out of step with Floridians. He has no choice but to accept federal $ for Ian.
A Politico reporter did a document request for records of fraudulent electoral college electors from Wisconsin, Arizona, and Michigan for the 2020 election submitted to the national archives. They were all FORGERIES. Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC tonight.
Judge Cannon said in her order that Trump's reputation could be damaged. That's total BS. She is putting Trump above the law. His reputation could NEVER be damaged. Most Americans in America KNOW Trump is a lifelong corrupt criminal who DOES NOT CARE about our rule of law.
On the Rachael Maddow show tonight I Iearned the reason DeJoy is still PMG is because Ron Bloom, the head of the Postal Board of Governors, supports DeJoy. DeJoy bought $305,000 of bonds with a company Bloom is affiliated with. Conflict of interest?

@Jim_Jordan
led talks with the White House on postponing the electoral vote, spoke with Trump for 18 min on Jan. 6, and sent a text to Mark Meadows to ignore the electoral votes of questioned states with some questionable legal argument. He also held numerous calls with Giuliani
@OccupyDemocrats
@cbarrs51
I absolutely support this. This same charge should be made against EVERY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN who was involved in the insurrection on Jan 6th.
"It's okay if voters dislike Biden, but Democrats MUST MAKE THE ARGUEMENT WHY OUR COUNTRY AND DEMOCRACY WILL BE DESTROYED BY REPUBLICANS TAKE POWER." Matthew Dowd, Deadline White House, MSNBC
Although Giuliani's law license was suspended, for what he did leading up to and after the insurrection he should be PERMANENTLY DISBARRED from ever practicing law again.
"Democrats need to attack Republicans like Governor Newsome did to Governor DeSantis instead of whining about Biden and attacking him". Paul Begala, MSNBC
@robreiner
Rob is absolutely right. If Trump is allowed to remain free (not prosecuted and sent to prison) to cause mayhem, chaos, and destruction to our democracy everything will continue to get much much worse. Another insurrection is inevitable in Jan 2025 if voting rights aren't passed
Ethical justices like KBJ recuse themselves from cases where they would have the appearance of partiality. Unethical and politically biased justices like Thomas don't recuse themselves.
Judge Jackson recusing herself from the Harvard AA case despite zero financial benefit to staying onโand Alito, Thomas, & Barrett refusing to recuse from numerous cases where they gained major financial benefitโperfectly summarizes progressive principles & conservative corruption
"Republicans don't care. They will put an idiot up as their nominee and make them their puppet. (Hershel Walker)" Tiffany Cross, The Cross Connection" MSNBC
The two problems Judge Cannon has is she is a Trump sychophant and she has NO experience in a high profile case like Trump's. She's actually only tried 4 cases.

The less newsworthy and out of the spotlight Donald Trump is the better it is for everybody.
Although, he will try anything to remain politically relevant.
"The Democrats should run a campaign about them protecting our democracy and EVERY Americans rights". Matthew Dowd, Deadline White House, MSNBC
Republicans are the party of suppressing EVERY Ametican's rights for their own political gain.
Rachel Maddow on "the Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell: the Ultra podcast about Republican members of Congress colluding with 1940 Nazis to overthrow our democracy, is the number 1 Apple store podcast and she will be writing a book on the same subject with much greater detail.

"No one in America is above the law".
I'll believe that when Trump, members of his administration, (like Meadows, Navarro) Congressional Republicans (Jordan, Perry, Gohmert, etc.) Ginni Thomas, are convicted and sent to prison for their roles in trying to overthrow our democracy.
"Because Republicans are complicit and REFUSE to condemn or speak out against Trump's actions and lies, there are serious consequences for our country."

because they lie like we all breath, the news media should question every single thing Trump and his campaign says about anything. Trump and his campaign should provide credible evidence for whatever they say before the press reports anything.
"The brazenness of the Republican party comes from lack of prosecution and accountability."
Rev Al Sharpton, MSNBC
If Trump and the Republican party are not held accountable their behavior will get much worse and put our democracy in greater danger.
ATTENTION;
Every American who cares about preserving our democracy MUST listen to Rachel Maddow's ULTRA podcast. The Republican party, since Trump became president, is a MIRROR IMAGE of the Republican party in the early 1940's using every means to overthrow our democracy.
"The Republican party's goal since 2016 agenda has been to deconstruct our government."
Michael Steele, MSNBC
The mission of the House RW Republicans will be to investigate institutions within our government trying to desparage and discredit them.

Charlie Sykes, Deadline WH, MSNBC
Absolutely. There is one big difference between the Russia Ukraine War + Democracy vs fascism in America in 2022. The Ukrainians WILL NEVER surrender to Putin's dictatorship even if he uses nuclear weapons. Because of Trumpism + the Big Lie we could lose our democracy in 2023.
You're completely ignoring the fact that during the Trump presidency when Republicans were in charge you ran up the national debt by over $7 BILLION in 4 years. Sit down and be quiet.
Make no mistake about it - the Donald Trump for President โcampaignโ is really a desperate Hail Mary attempt to avoid losing his freedom and going to jail. It has nothing to do with the interests of the American people!
