  1. Nikki Hayley, aka Flip Flop Hayley, will say whatever she thinks you want to hear… yes, I am a SC resident and she did little to nothing but use SC as her personal stepping stone…she’s a total hypocrite, and she thinks she’s smarter and superior to all around her… here to tell you she’s a low life politician through & through.

  2. Biden is a spy of china.
    I’m Colombian but see this president is weak.

  3. Competency test just for older candidates? How about all politicians/candidates!!

  4. Senator Feinstein , stay awesome! Enjoy your next chapter!

  5. FDA, stand strong. A medication with a 20 year safe track record is dragged into a court case?? Galileo is spinning in his grave. Science will win. Speak truth to power.

  6. What's it going to hurt Joe bondsman already did all the damage he could to the

  7. Y'all must be REALLY BORED, steadily talking about these BALLOONS 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

  8. All these scary republicans afraid of DUMP! Its gonna take a woman to bring him down! Go Haley!!!!

  9. I hate to say but weather balloons are put in the air every day

  10. Bots are heavy on this chat

  11. As long as the democrats hold power these parrots will always put a good spin and a tragic situation. Border anyone?

  12. How can we trust McCarthy not to go to Taiwan all the republicans have is a bag of dividing culture war trick's

  13. Ok im a democrat im team haley

  14. kevin should go to taiwan.. hope they keep him.

  15. I wish they would fire Chuck Snod. He is the worst.

  16. Ya, let's keep distracting the American public with balloons so the politicians bribed by the defense contractors (all of them) can gorge on even more tax pay funds. Meanwhile let's talk about the needed cuts to social security and Medicare because we have to get this budget under control. But hey, more ad revenue from defense corporations, big pharma and a totally bought/controlled political system fed to "News" corporations like this one. Throw all the news corporations (Fox, OAN, CNN,CBS, ABC etc) who are paid to push all this BS propaganda designed to distract so the robbery can continue. The US defense budget was around a trillion dollars this year alone.

  17. The American public is not going to put up with another year of this sending all of this money over to Ukraine and draining the United States of Taxpayers Money this also will be a talking point in the Presidential Election and someone is going to lose the Election over this.

  18. Are these politicians mature enough to handle this closed meeting. Our Supreme Court justices like to leak things now too. Bragging.
    If anything trying to find location of stock. Russia? There are never ever any runaway weather balloons? Haley more hate rhetoric nothing new I don't think she looks presidential to me at all nothing x president is best. What do they say about treatment of DSM5 issued individuals don't give them any air time period! They live for both negative and positive attention air time.
    I think Ms. Feinstein is such a wonderful lady. The republicans need classes on workplace violence and anti- bullying. They have been bulldozing her….bullying her during committee meetings i have observed. Zero gentlemen in the GOP maybe one or two few. Wasn't her father a professor of medicine too in California.
    I despise that the religious right are in my science and medicine it should not be political at all. Politicians and lawyers are ego maniacs with little education just rote learning. Fly by Night BS poduim people. Poor Poor judgments. Little understanding or comprehension. Turning back time we look so ignorant occult ran now.
    Thanks

  19. Is the/our airspace clear then??? Because if they're slow moving, can we say that it is clear and now that we've made the adjustments on radar, is it clear?

  20. Respectfully, everyone is blowing these balloon incidents way out of proportion. I wish you covered tax loopholes used by large corporations to evade paying their fair share instead of "Balloon Gate".

  21. Good to see Jen Psaki on MTP. She's awesome!

  22. I personally believe that Tulsi Gabbard should run for president. Not as a Republican but as a Libertarian.
    I would like to see Biden – Gabbard – Haley battle it out for the presidency.

  23. Very interesting, good luck.

  24. She knows she needs the confederate flag people's vote!

  25. Best show on American Politics

  26. Waste of time and money

  27. Hallie like who's speaking now a racist. Child mo!ester

  28. Shotgu. Sally all by me facing weapons just like Alffiya Hallie and then some the same

  29. I either love a person or disown them as family

  30. But that's how I live drinking liquor and smoking trees that's my crutch to get by nothing else but God and that
