Gen. Colin Powell: This Was A ‘National Disgrace,’ But We’ll Get Through It | Morning Joe | MSNBC
I wanted to storm on Washington after the Bush administration lied us into a bogus war. 7 thousand dead.
The sore energy optionally boil because sign independently unite behind a healthy engine. political, alluring bonsai
Gen Powell is an honorable, knowledgeable and wise man … and need I say a republican. He knows what went wrong.
Colin Powell the man who made up lies about Iraq invasion remember enough said don’t know who to trust or believe politicians are all corrupt period
16 senators led by the snake, Ted Cruz should be put on trial.
Get ready. This might be the end of America as we know it.
Congress probably needs to get out of there.You think?
The senators and representatives who voted to question the validity of the electoral college votes on Jan 6, after counts and recounts of votes, dozens of thrown out court challenges, should be voted out of office during their next cycle. My understanding is, some of them were actually fund raising during this debacle.

Mr.Powell, please let me know what to do.Thank you
General Powell with a Bush administration stood in front of the television and told tons of lies about Iraq all they have nuclear weapons all they have mass destruction we must attack for 9/11 what’s the difference a great American took the fall for the bushes and here we go
Hawly and Cruz are at fault also.
Don’t let history say they did nothing to this Rouge President. He and his fallowing did this to the US and they just let it go.
Powell is just another Republican. He has a bully pulpit. But never used it to denounce this vile Administration. oh, yes, they wrote a really influential letter. Get real. Just another Republican who doesn’t take responsibility. Let’s look back…
General Powell we need you more than ever!
The Democrats in Congress tried to impeach him 2 years ago but it was the Republicans in the Senate who blocked Removing him from office so we can blame the Republicans they created this monster
MAGA zombies. Oh it’s real. There’s no reasoning with those brain washed folks.
Will we come through it? If the Republican Party remains in existence, can we have a functioning democracy? If Trump remains free to incite violence, can we ever feel safe? Can we avoid domestic terrorism becoming extremely rampant? If we let this slide, not only is that an appalling failure of justice, but they will take it as permission to go further next time. If Trump is behind bars, will they accept that, no matter how clear the evidence of his many wrongdoings?
How do we have a functioning democracy; a functioning *society;* if almost half the country are immune to truth and reason; if they exist in a deranged alternate reality?
We have to somehow cure those tragic people in order to come through this. We have to punish the politicians who brought us here to have faith in justice and democracy. We have to rework the laws to deal with echo chambers, fake news, and bald-faced lies by our public servants and leaders.
It’s a big job, to put it mildly. If we cannot achieve it, the country will tear itself apart.
All we are doing is talk talk . Please look for them and lock them up.. Man and woman because if you don’t they will doit again.. My God I never see anything like this before.. The next thing the domesticated government have to do is keep a close I on Donald trump.. With the phone call them that’s he make and the people them he talk to… It’s very important. Thank you..
“if a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”
~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower, March 6, 1956
A mad man was elected, and here we are 4 years later.
I am sorry, but Congress does not control the Capitol police. The Executive branch does, and how was responsible for that? Trump. And GOP Governors were trying to send their NG in, and were barred from doing so.
If my ‘house’ were broken into, someone died, it would be surrounded by crime scene tape, evidence collected, area secured. Clearly, Capital Police and all branches of government AKA Establishment clearly dont think ‘a crime was committed’
Trump planned this so there would be no protection by troops.
This was organised from 1. The President and 2. From within the People’s house.
