  1. chuck todd is in a bubble of lala land

  2. Chuck Todd is in a bubble

  3. Chuck Todd and the Dems are out of touch with the american people. We pounce in 8 days! #Redvember!

  4. We’re not numb, we’re not bringing down the guillotine on domestic terrorists, and that’s making the reich wing bolder.

  5. If Republicans win..will democrats promote race riots and use hate to attack law abiding citizens?..like they did last time?

  6. We became numb after our politicians promoted and supported the BLM race riots. After that…the government proved to all of us that they are not here for us.

  7. Omg that s fella is just promoting the violence, won’t even acknowledge trumps implication into the violence, making out its both parties, I’m in Aus, how do you let these guys just lie, divert, etc, the violence is trump, he wonted he suggested, and he has promoted get Nancy Pelosi and his little clown done it, inflation today finally on the way down

  8. WOW this is the governor of NH.

    Wake Up NH. You deserve better.

  9. imagine a forklift piling up dead conservashit bodies and shoving them into the ovens! HAHAHA.

  10. The dispatch call proves Paul knew his attacker. Paul is a liar.

  11. A empire toppled by its enemies will rise again. But if an empire is destroyed from within…that death…forever. Baron Zemo – Captain America: Civil War

  12. Long gone are the days where we should be one country.We should be 3.That no representative at EVERYTHING since forever and a day huge centralized goverment of ours sits the distance from London to Ukraine from me.

  13. Voting RED for American's may mean losing its democracy, but the blue platform's version of democracy is worse so toss of the coin, besides, the blue platform making justice a priority is underwhelming, can't wait for that bamboozle of a leader of this country to become president of a country club retirement home, empires come and go

  14. Obama stirred the racist and hate pot when he was in office and it spilled over. Biden and Democrat leadership continue to spread hate with their hateful rhetoric.
    *Charles Schumer: at the Supreme Court steps.
    *Maxine Waters at a public outdoor gathering.
    *Eric Holder Jr.: campaign rally in McDonough, Ga.
    *Hillary Clinton: on national television.
    *Nancy Pelosi: from the house chambers.
    * left wing District Attorneys also incite this violence by their actions or should I say inactions.

  15. I am very scared for our country. I speak of peace love and understanding but…..the times they are a changing

  16. No sympathy for plebes who get mugged and killed on a daily basis, in the hellhole libs have made of this country.

  17. A great leader once said: “Death is the definitive solution to all problems; no man, no problem”. J.V. Stalin, 1938. Problem is the perp should’ve used a pickaxe instead. Ask Leon Trotsky.

  18. I mean, its become Numb to Poor Healthcare, Racist Cops, death from Food Insecurity or Homelessness, or the fact that we're being forced to sell the best part of our lives to Corporations who pay no taxes.
    So why is THIS an issue?
    Is it because its about Power and nothing else?

  19. I wouldn't call myself numb to it, I'm just being pragmatic because both the Media and the Political Parties are totally obtuse to the fact that they are causing it.

    Something really bad will happen as the inevitable result of your willful ignorance & the more sensible among us will step in and toss you all into the prisons you both clearly belong in.

    Even now, you're using the attack to further divide America, go on keep going, I'm simply an observer, I actually believe in Democracy & having to defend your opinions in the public sphere instead of constantly gaslighting people. I'm not Desperate after all, I'm not like you, I'm Vigilant.

  20. The truth is that FEAR sells well. Right and left wing media use it, social media use it, politicians use it. Fear is a powerful tactic to manipulate the masses. And yes the masses that's us.

  21. Thank you Elon for restoring free speech
