Sen. Durbin: I Don’t Know If More Republicans Have Been Swayed | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Republican Senators and Republican voters and supporters should be ashamed calling themselves Americans. Their actions speak louder than words and these actions are very Unamerican and shows weakness and no unity. No Apology will earse the hatred, greed and Domestic Terrorism Mob from history. I hope the new generation will keep the Corruption,greed and hatred out of our government institutions for ever.
No, it’s NOT time until EVERYONE is vaccinated!!! I WILL NOT risk our lives! Why should we have to make this choice? Only in this country!
Just remember the first impeachment. Republicans reasoning for not convict trump. Republicans are people that shouldn’t be trusted to do the right think, ever.
guys both parties are pro rich people . do you think the $250,000 speech h r c was giving was paid by people that got hourly wage. we have the lobby loving center right democrats and the crazy far right 1%/corp wealth hoarders g o p. both parties are getting richer at the top . on us . the best thing anyone can do far as voting is vote person not party . and vote liberal progressive . because the d n c is far too the right of even richard nixon. there is no left. maybe like 6 people in all of congress. as the rich scream commie socialist at us and we lose more every election. if there is a left wing uprising going on why cant we get healthcare .or funded education . wake up 15 per hour is 600 a week before ssi fica healthcare tax on housing medicare and 6-12% sales tax. if you work and have nothing left over after that work but shelter and food and close. you have what slaves had before the civil war. the rich have taken almost everything post the reagan lie government was bad. keep voting g o p and they will get that last 7% the 90% of us now share .
They have failed their responsibilities. They know Trump is a criminal. They do not belong office.
Trump’s defense team has reasons to be really confident about the outcome of the trial. They are aware the GOP senators are not willing to convict. They think that, no matter how good the prosecutors have presented their case, no matter how bad the defense team has presented theirs, there will be no conviction. Then Trump may say the accusation was so ridiculous that his defense team didn’t need to be good at defending him, and they will say the same thing. It was an easy job to do. Easy money.
We are about to learn how courageous or self-serving the Republican Senators really are… Stay Tuned.
It’s not a matter of being swayed! They all know he’s guilty, they’re just either corrupt or afraid I’m getting strung up by their constituents if they vote against Trump, or both.
Pay dearly at home, more concerned about their job than doing what’s best for the country. The job is to do what’s right regardless of the personal impact.
Republican senators will vote on the side of evil and let trump slide!! Americans will not forget these pathetic losers!!
Many Republicans aided, abetted and conspired with Trump!
After this trial is over those same Republicans need to be criminally charged with CONSPIRACY!
Republicans want a Corrupted Dictator Trump and they not about America first. But the Corrupted,Greed, power and hatred that they support. It’s the White Supremacy Mob GOP.
Republicans will acquit because they are accomplices.
the rich outlasted the new deal all the way to reagan and the lie government was bad. kind of very sure we will always have rich folks. its not the rich we should be thinking about its the everyday citizen . everyone else. we have reached a point where a shift in wealth of 7% from the richest 10% moved to the poorest of the 90% would improve the lives of the lives of that lower 90% by two fold. and all we hear is a loud scream from rich and corp right is we are falling to socialism and marxism. meanwhile while we hear this nonsense the rich have hoarded 93% of all wealth. start believing what you see not what you are told.
This is all been a waste of time and money becausepoliticians and lawyers make the rules to protect themselves for Christ sakes everybody in this country except for politicians have to attend their own trial. Politicians are above the law we all know that b*******
If the era of Trump wasn’t disgusting enough, this is even more so…the sheer cowardice and mendacity of the GOP at this point is appalling and worthy of the most egregious banana republics.
Where’s the biden coverage?
Sadly Republicans who refuse to be swayed by the truth are completely corrupt with too much political ambition and greed. Next Year, we must vote out Paul, Rubio, Blunt, Todd, and Johnson and win Toomey’s seat, Burr’s seat, and Portman’s seat.
Nothing will happen insurrections/minority win again
both parties are driven by graft . fewer then 6000 people fund new people running for office. and its the same rich funding both sides. its the new tea pot dome .and one more time to quote boss tweed ” I DONT CARE WHO WINS AS LONG AS I PICK WHO RUNS. “the Tipp O Neal congress are the ones that cut taxes the most they where a democratic party congress. our government has been driven by one thing post the reagan lie all government was bad. GRAFT the rich where and have bought a better deal for themselves and have left nothing for anyone else. its how they now have over 93% of all wealth. the legal graft of the lobby and the huge amounts of hidden bribes called donations is just making lives worse every election post reagan . if you are not rich and you vote g o p you are no more then inviting a lower standard for you and your families. we need to put back the elected into civil servant more and away from a part too great wealth. the rich have become so rich not because of their great business talent .but because they have bought the rules .the biggest proof is we are still using the electoral college in national elections. the proof is two f the last three leaders where duds . its not what party they are from its we did not elect then with the most votes. we got second place as leaders . the result was the bush bust and the fix we are in now. i dont think obama was all that great either .the bar was set so low anyone not insane or real stupid would of looked okay.
“Republicans fear they will pay politically”.
That is like saying, I don’t agree with what the KKK does but they will not pay me to Grand Wizard if I guide the people in a moral direction. The fact you want to lead that group speaks volumes.
Not one of those tough as nails right-wing, gun-toting, castle doctrine, stand your ground loving congressmen had the balls to don some gear, make their way to the police line and fight for our country. In fact, not one man did, of either party. They ran. The whole lot of them. Without a shred of courage, and left the police and us to fight amongst ourselves. There IS room for hate in America. But it should be directed at the cowards in office and the people who time and time again elect to place them there. Thank god these congress people weren’t around when the redcoats came. They would have scurried away in fear, like rats.
Yeah nerd science, Myspace = Facebook = QAnon the lingo of the female dance card. The dance card is a central mental component of female communication. I cannot not make heads nor tails of it and neither can Zucker, with his special mama’s boy crust cut smuckers. The Female dance card, has a lot to do with QAnon is all I know for sure. QAnon = nerd cure, like a big scaredy cat baby, Zuckerberg does not wish to take his medicine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5yrqnhKQew
