Gen. Colin Powell: This Was A ‘National Disgrace,’ But We’ll Get Through It | Morning Joe | MSNBC
“What was the plan?” THIS was the plan.
I will be even more disappointed in America if I won’t see Trump running from court to court in the next few years.
Yes, it’s indeed a disgrace, it’s also a disgrace what Powell did at united nations lying in front of the whole world by presenting false evidence to invade and destroy so many innocent lives in Iraq. What a shame!
How does this coincide with ‘defund the police’ that some folks wanted including Democrat mayors. Now the police are wanted??Do have respect for Collin Powell and agree with there not being a plan to protect the building.
WORK FOR THE NATION , NOT WORK TO HATE TRUMP AS COLIN POWELL
I suspect that that worn out word “unprecedented” will get used one more time in the next few days. After that it should be deleted from the dictionary because of overuse to the extent it has become useless in describing the insane actions of the 45th. America has achieved third world status and authority in the eyes of the world, a bad friend and neighbour. It is like living next door to a crack house with the building on the other side owned by a slum lord and the one across the road a brothel and down market mob casino.
Showed our weakness to the world. Don’t think for one minute that our enemies aren’t laughing and planning. This was sickening.
Trump watched this on his multi screens and he knew that the Guard should of been called he did this on purpose! Impeach.
Those Republicans got what they wanted Trump Gutting our Government that is the only thing they care about. Impeach Trump.
They need to impeach trump. Regardless if it goes to trial or not to send a message that this is unacceptable conduct for a president no matter how many days they have left of the presidency.
Treat the Republican Party as an outlaw organisation .. they are responsible ! #lockthemup
Thank you for saying the right I wish you want for president you’ll be great as a president intelligent good common sense that we need
Bublé of US Democracy that that built American image for 300 years and attracted people from around the world has burst. US forces deployed around the world to defend others democracies while home Democracy has been injured to last breath unless revived with double efforts and inputs.
Thank you Colin Powell! For saying it. Congress should of did their job. DT has been acting like this for 4 years and Congress could of stepped in long ago and prevented DT from doing what he ultimately did. Listen to Colin Powell He is saying Be Ready and prepared to protect our country!
There is something wrong to the security over at the Congress House – weak. The respect for Americans is gone – their behaviour is horrible
Powell is politicizing again! Not stopping it, condemning it! Mob mentality of a few ruined a day of exercising our first amendment, but it was on them not President Trump. There is more to how this happened and why and not the President’s inciting it. I would hope with all of Powell’s experience he would see this, but his glasses may be to dark. Maybe add some Red and lighten up that Dem tinting.
The Mob were the cops !! They were in on it..Because they were white people rioting?.All People are dangerous…not only Black people.the world has learned a lesson through all of this that evil has no collar.
Calling the terrorist attack on Congress a “disgrace” is like calling WWII a misunderstanding.
police there was not on standby because the insurrectionists were White. Had it been BLM or AntiFa, there would have been bodies and body bags. Instead the cops told the traitors where the offices of the reps were.
It was an attempted coup to steal and destroy the certifiied ballot box. This was a total disgrace and embarrassment for the lack of security and the chain of command broke down.
@t
This was worse than tearing down a flag, you would Agree.
In the United States, there are both federal and state laws prohibiting treason. … Only one person has ever been executed for treason against the federal government: William Bruce Mumford, who was convicted of treason and HANGED in 1862 for tearing down a United States flag during the American Civil War.
Powell doesn’t have any moral authority to have a word here. He, Bush and Blair forced an iligal war against Iraq that cost so much suffering, human lifes and a big increase in the national deficit!. When Bush was president I thought nobody could be worst than him and here we are, with a president so monstrous that even Bush and Powell look like “good guys”….
Powell, the one who sent American troops into Iraq for WMDs that never existed. Thousands of troops never came home. Thats a disgrace.
So advice froom tom whrn his lying president killed thousands…. collin bs
