  1. The Republican Party is controlled by a criminal organization.
    Republicans do what they are told.
    Compartmentalization and handlers get it done – e.g. Clearance Thomas!
    Trump is the distraction.
    Getting to the bottom of it is the job.
    Honoring the Constitution and acting in good faith are not optional.
    Stop pretending otherwise!

  2. Republicans cant legislate. They rule by extortion and violent coups.

  3. Another instance of terrorism labelled as patriotism

  4. If you are wondering whether there will be a considerable audience for the court proceedings… yeah – there will be. Trump supporters will definitely be tuning in — in droves — thinking to gain fuel for their anger machine, analyzing each session like a QAnon post for moments they can use in their diatribes. That group, in addition to every red blooded, genuinely patriotic American who wants to see JUSTICE in action and accountability for Trump, plus all the pundits… yep, there's gonna be an audience.

  5. Yes the intelligent are paying attention, justice and accountability matter in the land of America! Equality in all including the law! Democracy is on the line and WE THE PEOPLE deserve to see the facts! Before voting!

  6. Joe Biden put union workers and his own reelection above the entire planet. The entire planet and its entire population. That’s what the “good Catholic” did.

  7. Senate traditional GOP excepting Cruz, Hawley , Graham and Lee at a minimum.

  8. McCarthy looks gaunt – not eating or sleeping.

  9. Chuck Todd can no longer hide his FULL HATRED for the Republican Party. Such deep-seeded hatred stems from his unhappy childhood with an abusive father and an alcoholic mother.

  10. The freedom caucus cost every American money when they're antics got the US debt downgraded. Send them and Kevin your bills.

  11. US Intelligence called out these white supremacists YEARS ago as the most dangerous threat to America. Law enforcement has done nothing to quell this threat, and many in LEO are on their side. So here we are. This has been allowed to happen.

  12. There’s always someone on the MTP panel or Todd himself, this time predictably Stephen Hayes, that will blame Biden for the failures of the republicans. Hayes says Biden promised to bridge the gap between republicans and democrats and make congress work, congress doesn’t work, the American people see congress isn’t working it’s Biden’s fault. It’s not it’s the Republican Party that doesn’t work.

  13. This is just one of countless reasons Democrats must regain control of the House and increase control in the Senate in 2024. Republicans DO NOT care about the American people, our planet or the rule of law! All they care about is power and screwing over everything and everybody else but themselves. PLEASE for the sake of our Democracy and the future of our country VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot in 2024.
    💙✌️💙🤜🤛🏼💙🫶💙

  14. People in these comments remind me of the same voters who keep democrats in power in ny

  15. The MAGA base is just that. Base. It will never go higher. Ya think Trump got more supporters after January 06 and 4 indictments? This is the death nail in the GOP. We need a second party for a healthy democracy, so some others need to step up.

  16. Freedom Caucus, a.k.a. far-right obstructionist sect of the Republican party.

  17. The freedom caucus won't be free for long. They will be indicted, convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

  18. Appalled that you speak of the crimes this man has committed as minor. Because of nonsignificant reporting like this, gives this crook a path out.

  19. The only thing good about the freedom caucus is it's an easy way to group the stupidest members of Congress together.

  20. The GOP wants to trash our credit rating

  21. The question is.
    Why Trump's lawyer Alina Habba (or something like that, )always online throwing Falsehoods gaslighting violence, and never hold her Accountable.
    The FBI should be taking look at her promoting bullying intimidation and violence.

    Report this criminals to the FBI.
    Period.

  22. Biden is bankrupting America, he's giving Ukraine $43 Billion a year, billions all over the world and he doesn't give a fuc about any American, the elections are fixed so he doesn't need anyone to vote. Wouldn't surprise me if the DS tried to forego the2024 election.

  23. Doesn't the speaker know, lily livered leaders don't have a future.

  24. Chuck Todd is the biggest 🤡 in media. Do you own research folks. Stop listening to these liars and morons.

  25. 14-3 Take them all out of government

  26. Many of us who believe in the rule of law want to see these criminals in their orange jumpsuits paying g for their crimes
