  1. MSNOW is hyperventilating to have Democrats back in power. Democrats have nothing to offer the American people. They proved that for 4 yrs under Biden. Now if you are an illegal yesh that is a different story!!!!!!

  2. Why do Republicans fk up second terms and hands over the next elections to Socialist ? . That's how America gets fked over so much . First term Republicans puts America back on track second term Republicans knocks the train off the track and hands over America to the Socialist. America is finished if it falls in the hands of the newly formed Socialist party and We fked.

  3. A Trump endorsement is the kiss of death. Keep it up, Diaper Don! Republicans chose to ride your unbleachable skidmark into the World History books and documentaries (eventually sit-coms) of the future. Excellent legacy crafting!

  4. Wow who else caught McQuade's Freudian slip? While refering to inJustice Roberts, she says, "…this circus…I mean SCOTUS court…" Yep, the Robert's court is a circus court, and he is a perverse Trump bootlicker.

  5. Stop focusing on Trump and JD and start focusing on connecting the Republicans who ARE running to Trump's policies, their failure to oppose awful things, to stand up for their constituents.

  6. I don't fully understand the "whys and how comes" this man was elected. Its more than just about politics, money, and power although these are the driving force to many elected officials in government.
    I know that many who voted for him are racist, bigoted and Evangelicals. Yet still there's more that lies beneath the surface that is mostly driven by fear.

    May the US turn away from the fears of their own making and turn towards loving themselves and be at peace with one another.

  7. Notice how the media gives us something stupid to argue about right when inflation hits? Thats not an accident. I just finished the book The Reality They Created and it breaks down the exact psychology used to control the masses. Read this if you want to stop getting played.

  8. Again.. For this show & all of the others & legitimate news entities as a whole! All of you are doing America & the world a massive disservice by not referring to the traitor Takkkostein & all of his administrators & supporters as such! If Jan 6th was led by black & brown people they would have all been dead & the leadership executed for their attempted coup! CALL THEM ALL OUT BY THEIR NAMES! TRAITORS! THAT'S WHY TAKKKOSTEIN CONTINUES TO DO WHAT HE DOES! THEY'RE LAUGHING IN OUR FACES AS THEY'RE SETTING UP PUTIN, COUP 2.0! WAKE UP!

  9. I've worked in corporate strategy for a decade and thought I knew how power dynamics worked. Then a mentor told me to read book The Reality They Created by Mathias Frost. This book is a masterclass on societal control. No conspiracy theories, just cold hard facts on why the same people always win.

  11. If you are tired of the constant chaos in the news, just read The Reality They Created. Mathias Frost wrote a book that finally explains WHY things are the way they are. It's chilling but necessary.

  12. We spend our lives trying to get ahead without realizing the rules were written to keep us exactly where we are. The concept of the domesticated mind in the book The Reality They Created by Mathias Frost is the truest thing I've ever read. It explains everything from our financial systems to our biological reactions to screens. Honestly, read this book if you value your own free will.

  14. Voters economic lives were destroyed by biden and the democrats. Here's a summary, Overall CPI: +21.5% (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
    • Gasoline Prices: +31.0% (Peaked over $5/gal before easing)
    • Nominal Wages: +19.9% (Average hourly private sector earnings)
    • Real Wages: -1.3% to -4.0% (Inflation outpaced wage gains)
    • Home Prices: +37.4% (Compounded by higher mortgage rates)

  15. "ALL OF THE FILES" 8 / 22 /`26

    Day 246 in VIOLATION of The Epstein Transparency Act

    Day 245 of the COVERUP by REPUBLICAN COWARDS

    Leadership through Capitulation is Not Democracy

    WE WILL REMEMBER

    COME💙NOVEMBER

  16. This is the problem that I am having with the Democratic party… In Florida I don't care how much you court MAGA or the Republican Conservatives David Jolly, they are not going to vote for you!!! Besides the fact who would want those racist fucs in the party to take it over again.. Stop it!!! Court the base, the stay at home Democrats; Are you a Republican or a Democrat.. Have you people not learned anything from 2024… They will not vote for Donaldson or You!!!!

  17. You people are really starting to irritate me. I understand that Lawrence needs time off for "stuff", but if Lawrence isn't presenting the segment IT IS NOT THE LAST WORD WITH LAWRENCE O'DONNELL.
    You consistently berate the Trump Administration for not telling the truth, but here you are opening telling lies.
    Update your title to "The Last Word with <insert_the_presenters_name_here>". Your integrity is slipping.

  18. If the government can get the manufacturers of bombs and missiles to increase production, can't they get the refineries to increase output of diesel and gasoline?🤔
    Funny how things work, and don't work.😢
