Lie, cheat, steal and ask for foreign help that’s what low-life trump and his people do.
May 30, 2019 @ 11:31 pm
Whats wrong with you pukes. Are you a citizen…..yes or no. By law, you must be a citizen to vote. But you hacks only care for the law when it suits you. Your horrible humans.

+Simon Tupper — chris eastwood is a zero content zero history troll — click on its thumbnail and see for yourself. This is the third such zero content zero history troll I’ve seen and this video hasn’t been up for an hour.

The census is not about voting. If the census information is being used to manipulate voting zone for the benefit of any political party it should not be asked. That is what has been exposed. It is corruption at a level normally seen in dictatorships or pretend democracies.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:42 am
+Carmen Radk — Correct, this very video reveals that Tom Hofeller, a long time Republican operative renowned for detailing the best way to gerrymander to benefit Republican’s, and involved in the efforts in NC to do just that, had files on his laptop, external HD’s and thumbdrives, that detail his research into gaming the census to permit additional gerrymandering not just at the state level but at the national level. In his own words he described how this census question would harm Democrats and benefit Republican’s. In his own words — there is zero doubt about what this census question was attempting to accomplish and Hofeller’s own research and words make that point crystal clear. When the Republican’s are not steeling votes as they did in NC they are trying to disenfranchise anyone they don’t like, you know … blacks and Hispanics!

Not enough that the GOP has rigged elections from top to bottom for decades (Bush Sr. was the last legitimate repub pres) via massive voter suppression and radical gerrymandering (cf. especially REDMAP and the SC VRA gutting), now they are trying to literally wipe brown people off the map. This is institutionalized white supremacy and authoritarianism with the specific aim of making the US a one party state (the GOP party) ruled by the minority (white male christian conservatives).
May 30, 2019 @ 11:46 pm
Please take the word Christian out of the statement. Thats an insult to true Christians. Jesus doesnt and never did condone any of this political evilness, nor racism. These people are demons portraying to be Christians, hiding behind the title. So please be careful in saying this.
May 31, 2019 @ 12:02 am
+MyJourni I understand, but “white” and “male” can also be offensive to some, since of course not all white males support 45* or are conservative (I’m white and male ftr), but what I’m trying to state is that the GOP is overwhelmingly the party of straight, white, christian male conservatives and no one else: the GOP cares about no one else and thinks no one else should have political, economic, social, legal, or civil rights and freedoms. (I should also add that I’m straight here too I guess!).
Further, you’re committing the “no true scotsman” fallacy, and also the character of jesus (who almost certainly never existed) is deeply morally flawed; he endorsed and promoted all sorts of barbaric and immoral beliefs and acts…it’s all in the bible.

Christians put this turd in office so yes they are to blame…..deal with it
May 30, 2019 @ 11:34 pm
I’ll say it. Pelosi and her moderate friends are missing their window of opportunity to start an impeachment inquiry and Trump will seize on that. Her inability to answer this historic call for action will be her undoing and Trump will roll through the election saying “If they had something against me, they would impeach. It’s a hoax folks.”
Pelosi will look like an absolute fool. She has all the big guns she needs to start an impeachment inquiry, but she instead brings a water gun to the fight… just to see who is going to get wet. Moderate democrats are useless.
May 31, 2019 @ 12:55 am
Geez…how many other important issues are Nancy & shrinking Dem violets not acting on because it’s not a slam dunk? ? ?
May 31, 2019 @ 1:08 am
+Puttentane Same this will never be a slam dunk and therefore she will never make the move… There is no amount of undeniable evidence that will convince Mitch McConnell to let the Republicans running the Senate vote yes on impeachment.
The point is not to impeach Trump, the point is to damage him politically so much that he will not win in 2020.
Instead, we have those subpoenas not being respected and some fake “we held him in contempt of Congress”, but no enforcement of those contempt rulings.
Weak.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:57 am
+Simon Tupper Impeachment proceedings are the correct Constitutional path in dealing with a criminal POTUS. PERIOD. Inaction here is simply fear of King Trump. Impeachment has real teeth…just ask Clinton to show you the bite scar on his lying, obstructing behind. Even with the Senate pass, he was and still is…branded with the ‘I’ of impeachment for all history.
May 30, 2019 @ 11:37 pm
It will be interesting to see how the now trump appointed supreme court will deal with this case. Will the stay loyal to trump and his Republicans who put them there or will they do what is right and lawful?
May 31, 2019 @ 12:21 am
Shirl: Good question.
Since the appointments are for life, they risk only one thing if they rule for Trump’s sake, against the rule of law: public outrage and shaming. Does that matter to them? I can’t say.
Chief Justice John Roberts recovered very nicely from deciding for Citizens United, didn’t he? And that was one of the most destructive judicial decisions in our history.

The Majority of Americans are the only absolute power and can have anything anyway of our choosing and can Rise to take back our America…
May 30, 2019 @ 11:52 pm
If there is a he//, Tom Hofeller is in it.
You automatically knew it was bogus the moment republicans said the citizenship question was for the purpose of enforcing the voting rights act.
Since when have republicans ever cared about voting rights?
May 31, 2019 @ 12:16 am
David J: It’s more than plain now, and the Republican Party knows it, and we know it: they can’t win if they don’t cheat, and cheat they will.
Of course we all understand that politics is a filthy business, and the Democratic Party has done similar things.
Just never to this extent, or with this kind of hubris, or as a real and practical working strategy, on the ground, locally and nationally, up, down, and sideways. It really does look as if the Republican Party actually doesn’t have a strategy to win that’s based on policy offerings– rather, it’s based on plain old cheating.
Death throes. Good riddance.
May 30, 2019 @ 11:56 pm
I watched this. I listened. I’ve been a devout MSNBC viewer for years. How stupid do you think we are? Being American has nothing to do with the color of your skin. I’m done with these lies trying to pin race against race. We are Americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

+jetaime — This trolls YT account name kind of gives the game away with the prominent use of the letter ‘Q’. And, if you go to his/her/its homepage you find zero content and zero history. So, yeah, its a troll!
May 31, 2019 @ 12:17 am
Make very sure your thoughts are your own. If not brother can be turned against brother, sister against sister, son against mother, father against daughter. Be very careful who you let into your head and your heart. In love we find peace. In strength we can help others. Hold these truths close to your heart.

Raptorman0909 I’ve listened. I’ve watched. I’ve waited. I’m sick of news pundits, politicians and celebrities aiming to divide us. So I’ve decided. American for American for now. When we regain our strength then we can help others. Love conquers all.

If it was from 2015 Trump wasn’t the President. Nice try though. If you are not a US citizen, then you have no right to vote. It’s the Democrats counting on illegal votes, that’s why their hair is on fire over this
May 31, 2019 @ 12:04 am
I swear, republicans are like kleptomaniacs, you can never take your eyes off of them.
May 31, 2019 @ 12:07 am
At this point, pretty much anything devious and evil that I hear mentioned about the Republican Party, I will believe. And worse.
Funny– I used to think much of it was maybe a bit exaggerated, since of course it’s the television news. They have to give us the juice, right? It’s not that I ever thought mainstream media was completely corrupt. Just leaning (wink- wink) toward sensationalism.
Now? Forget it.
The Republican Party is absolutely as bad as it looks to be, and probably far worse. It’s become plainly evil. Period.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:21 am
+dark man Actually, that’s not correct. No one’s playing the game anything like the Republicans. They’re on another level entirely. Do you know anyone else who’s trying desperately to block the vote? Do you know anyone else who’s been caught recently messing around with the actual vote count, like the man from North Carolina? Do you know anyone else who’s ridiculously claiming that the elections are rigged against them– while they’re rigging elections? Hmm? Do you know anyone else besides the Republican Party who claims, when they lose an election, that illegal aliens voted three times, and that’s why the Republicans lost?
May 31, 2019 @ 1:22 am
+Jame Franco I’m sorry. I really can’t understand your comment. Maybe you’d like to try again, in real English?
May 31, 2019 @ 12:08 am
So wats going to happen when our voting rights get stolen from us it’s not right I’m Hispanic and like Donald stump he wanna corrupt and dismantle out 1st amendment
May 31, 2019 @ 1:14 am
if you arent a citizen you shouldnt be able to vote. its not fair to the country
May 31, 2019 @ 12:11 am
“Engineering dominance” Hmmm, What other group of people did we hear this from in the 1930s?😳

Play djt45 at his own game…don’t impeach, humiliate…mercilessly…just like he has everyone else…

May 31, 2019 @ 12:58 am
With everyone out fighting to take the country back (should it come to that) who would be left at home to watch?
May 31, 2019 @ 12:22 am
Adding a citizenship question to the census? The US had it before, and Canada, Australia and many other democracies include that question on the census. That information is necessary for planning.But, it is a valid question only under certain circumstances, specifically if it is clearly non-partisan , free of bias, and comes from a trustworthy government. That being said, I, along with many millions of Americans and citizens of other nations, am unable to trust anything the Trump administration says or does. The Mueller Report and the sickening behaviour of Trump, Barr, McConnell, Graham, Miller, Mnuchin makes it crystal clear that Trump and his minions cannot ever be trusted to do what is right, fair, and lawful for the American people. I am very confident that those people have ulterior motives for wanting the citizenship question included on the census. If I were an American, I would be fighting too.

Oh the evidence is mounting and the Orange Guy keeps sticking his foot in his mouth!
May 31, 2019 @ 12:25 am
Republicans only have to win one more election and then it will be…ALL Hail dictator dump!!!!
May 31, 2019 @ 12:27 am
Sounds like this man’s death is a net benefit to this country, objectively. Hopefully the rest of the treason party follows him…
May 31, 2019 @ 12:29 am
…..Fully convinced that donald trump and his Republican Gop (who do his corrupt bidding, and/or, condone it) ~ are a part of the kkk [Dis]organization, and a part similar cliques. kkk is known for money-laundering, and all different kinds of mass illegal crimes. It’s very unfortunate for them.

May 31, 2019 @ 1:03 am
Like the motivation was ever in doubt. And the GOP used to wonder why they couldn’t get any Latino votes.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:04 am
Of course it would hurt the Democrats, All the do is OFFER feel good answers for campaign promises and deliver very little except more government control. People are waking up to their fear mongering to get votes, they are loosing the Jewish vote, the African American vote, and other minority votes, so they’re counting on non-citizen votes to stay in power.
A vote for a progressive Democrat = living conditions like Venezuela, China, North Korea, that’s what socialism (they call it being progressive) will get you Total government owned and control of EVERYTHING and the public gets the left overs.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:20 am
You are delusional and obviously have no educational knowledge of what Democratic Socialist means and I doubt that you have any real knowledge of any political systems or philosophy. Try opening a genuine book on politics and educate you ignorant self.
May 31, 2019 @ 2:07 am
Rae Namet … Fear mongering? Lmao! So you’ve never heard of trump or fox news huh?…but hey, you make republicans proud…projection at its finest
May 31, 2019 @ 1:15 am
Here in Europe we voted last sunday. And in my country, citizenship is registered in a database when a Child is born or a person gains citizenship. This database also acts as voting registration because it is update when you move (it keeps track of your domicile). So 2 week before voting, we get a letter telling us where we have to vote. Oh yeah, where I live, voting is required by law with the penalty of fine between 60 and 150 euro. And how do we keep track of who voted and who didn’t, an Electronic ID card, the letter that you have to show at the voting place and a list of the People that can vote
May 31, 2019 @ 1:35 am
Ratthuglicons know they can never win playing fair.
They cheat, lie, connive, steal, bully, spread hate and division, conspire, obstruct, etc.
They never win unless they use tricks and tactics of gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter purging, voter fraud, voter farming, fear-mongering, brainwashing, etc.
May 31, 2019 @ 1:47 am
I am curious, what would it take a Trump supporter to say enough is enough, he’s gone too far, and stop supporting him?
