This war was to stop you guys from talking about the Epstein files…seems like it worked 🤷🏿♂️
Funny how everything Trump does helps Putin. 😉
He’s incentivized them to get a nuclear weapon
Please don't have Simone do the show anymore, have Ali Velshi or Jan Psaki instead. I love the show… that is why I need to say something. She ruins it for me with the lip smacking, please stop it.
Where is CONGRESS?!?!?!!!!!
America's Finest. Giving his Genius Voters – everything they deserve.
Does Trump even know about the Korean War? How Truman sent troops to help S. Korea, our Allie, being attacked by N. Korea to annex S. Korea to be a part of their communist country? Or how the United Nations Command was created in 1950 so that 21 other countries could help the US and S. Koreat? How if N. Korea hadn't been stopped it would have jeopardized Japan, the Philippines and other countries to fall like dominoes to Communism?
I highly doubt so. I even doubt Hegseth knows this history.
Thus, in a sense the US is signalling those countries are up for grabs because he got his "fweeelings" hurt and his ego bruised.
I detest wars and pray for peace. This man in the WH only cares about himself, his ego, money and criming. After all, he's a criminal that has been criming for most all of his adult life.
Will Blanche be his lawyer during the third impeachment? Can an AG do that?
One of the reasons Trump said we attacked Iran was to help Iranians. He's f'ng getting them killed as their govt hunkers down. And what's he doing to South Korea? Most likely he's trying to extort them, shake down, like CBS, ABC, etc.
Not voting because government is hurting you is a vote for your conditions to get worse.
trump knows exactly what he is doing. He's lining his pockets with as much money as he can till he's stopped. There is no other plan.
Bombing allies, Trump is really a great president, a real heavyweight, He has the military genius greater than Alexander the Great. Except Alexander conquered Iran and Trump lost his war with Iran.😂
There will come a day when no one will admit they voted for him. I just hope I live through this sh-t.
Watch out everyone… the BOTS are out in full force!!! They think they can sway our midterms… please don’t let them… we are all in this together 💪🏼🇺🇸🥰
MAGA is getting a first hand lesson in the reality of Economics 101. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!!!😮

😂 the president will never ask me to do something unethical?! 😅😢🤬
Military prep school doesn't make you a military strategist. Magas so easily duped.🤪🤪🤪
But it is okay for North Korea to have one to threaten Japan and the Pacific region, even the West coast of the United States. Why does the Press not ask Donald Trump about North Korea? The PRESS is CHICKEN!
I do! It was to divert attention from the Epstein files
We are missing the ENTIRE POINT, the war is being dragged out as a distraction from the REAL ISSUE…THE EPSTEIN FILES! HIs name is mentioned 59,000 times! according to some! Get the Epstein Prosecution underway Congress…Laser Focused After the mid-terms!
CRAZY LARRY, BSN0W HASN'T PUT U 0UT T0 PASTURE YET U S0NAVABEESH? 🤣
Trump Does NOT care about government, or the people, or the law, until he wants to USE IT, or his own means.
Jesus, why so many commercials?
Donald J. Trump Is a Menace To Mankind.
Republicans can’t govern, lead, or budget. This admin proves that fact.
This administration just does things – they don't ask for permission.
When will we do something ?!?!?!?!!!
I am trying. Unfortunately, I just can’t listen to anyone else but Lawrence.
While he’s saying Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, more than likely they are building o e as he speaks.😅😅😅😅
Someone on a podcast recommended reading the book The Silent Dominion by D. Cross so I bought a copy last week. It is terrifyingly accurate about the modern attention economy.
All I heard was I’m a monkey oooooo
Purposely destroying our economy so they can benefit by buying everything back after the crashes… at cost !!
Blanche saying that many of their investigations start from the prompting of a US citizen. Apparently not if the investigation is into Jeffrey Epstein.
Edit: maybe MSNOW should bring in Republican Representatives and ask them these same questions. It would be enlightening to hear their response.
Lady DON'T GIVE YOUR VOTE UP, stand up strong with the people who are fighting against ftrump regimen. Democracy matter 💯🇺🇸💙
She would rather surrender her vote to stop Trump from abusing his power. We are here because of uneducated voters. Obviously she voted for Trump and doesn't realize how local elections and midterms work. And to answer her question it was worth it doesn't she she how much money he's making. Oof she got played.
I hate Trump, the GOP and all their voters. I will never trust them again.
What a clown car government 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I am sorry but I do not believe the Admiral.
