Gen. Colin Powell: This Was A ‘National Disgrace,’ But We’ll Get Through It | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Even with his obvious and honorable integrity, Powell was swept up, pre-Iraq war, by the machinations of domestic politics into supporting dubious claims and, thereby, supporting a partisan agenda that led us to a highly unethical war. If he couldn’t see the forest for the trees, how can a Congressman/woman be expected to? They’re professional opportunists and influence peddlers. This sad time is on ALL of us. We failed ourselves cause we forgot that “we” takes work to mean anything. Believe in your neighbor to believe in yourself. That’s called TRUST. Also known as LOVE. Which requires HUMILITY. Which takes INTELLIGENCE. Think we can handle that?
why would anyone be surprised if it happens again? why?
Antifa has one goal, to confront neoNazi groups who march usually in small liberal towns in the northwest. They are a very small group. The right uses them as a boogeyman, but the right lies about anything if they feel it will help them.
The only national disgrace is Collin Powell
1921 TULSA -2021 CAPITAL BUILDING
I hope America gets through this but I don’t trust this Powell dude because he gave false info alleging Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction” which resulted in many deaths of innocent Iraqi’s and American soldiers, while war criminals George W Bush, Dixk Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld never suffered any consequences
Mike pence need to allow that ammendment and all in Congress need to impeach!
Not Congress General…Republicans in Congress. Mitch and his gang aided and abetted this!
The destroyers of the republic pearl clutch as it burns
If years of daily research following every aspect of this story has told me anything, its how deep and involved this attack on America has become.
This goes back many decades, with planned, orchestrated and tested systems being used to destroy the rights and freedoms we used to possess.
The US did this to other countries, control their elections, inhabit their lands and bomb their people.
Other countries emerging are now doing it to us.
They have systematically blackmailed, bought off and or threatened personages in power.
Our democracy is under attack and we will now experience what others have routinely been exposed to.
Its own people have been conditioned to hate its leader, that believe culturally and socially we must be reconstructed, its police removed, borders open, allowing for profitable drug trade and human trafficking.
Mainstream is corporate owned, they have hidden stakes in such undertakings.
We are complacent, thinking this can only happen elsewhere.
Perhaps we do need subjugation to wake us up?
The plan was to steal the electoral votes from the Capitol during all the chaos.
Collin Powell as we know him: “we have experiance”; “bring guns”. When the “old-europe”-man will be asked for directions ,the U.S will not be heading for truth nor renewal.
He seems enfeebled. Bringing up Rodney king was appalling and weird.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of our dual-party and antiqued electoral colleges system! Punish the deeds of the Pied Piper and the ignorant followers but aim for a better, more enlightened America of NO state lines!!
general Colin Powell is the last person you should believe. After all he lied to Congress about the Iraq war/WMD’s. The media continues to lie about everything and feign outrage over something the president had no control over.
Remember the old adage you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
You’ve allowed this to continue for 4 years rioting/protests, burning and looting. You feign outrage over every action of the President Trump. You say antifa is not real. Well they just got real at the Capitol, they were interspersed and they were effective. Orson Welles was right, the media cannot be trusted.
What happened to protests don’t have to be peaceful that we heard for months on end while BLM burnt down city, and federal property? These pundit scum are no worse than those who use violence to get their ways.
There was no antifa there ! FOX and Republican Congress such as Matt Gaetz are telling their followers it was antifa .
No, this was insurrection and all those who supported it, participated and did NOTHINGto prevent it should be tried as traitors and hung.
Voter fraud is the national disgrace. Affirmative action generals are a national disgrace.
I don’t respect very many Republicans, in fact my usual name for them can’t be put on you tube.
But general Colin Powell I respect with the highest of Honor he’s a man of intelligence , and decency,.
At times like this I try to find his comments, and his thoughts on the situation.
1 John 4:2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Following the 2021 storming of the US Capitol by supporters of outgoing Pdt. Donald Trump, Democratic and Republican Party members of Congress including speaker Nancy Pelosi, senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, and associated officials have called for removing Trump from office immediately, under either Section 4 of the 25th Amendment or impeachment and conviction.
