Trump should be in jail! NOW!
everyone of them should take him to court
Please explain what he has 2 do 2 be impeached because all I see is him breaking laws
Trumps fault, January 20. FAA director fired, january 21 Air Traffic controller hiring frozen. January 22 Aviation safety advisory Committee disbanded, January 28 Buy/out out of retirement funds to existing retirees. 29 JANUARY FIRST MID AIR COLLISION FOR 16 YEARS.
first amendment free speech is absolute, period!
You are so correct, Ari. Respect ya.
Yeah, I really don't think he has done anything to indicate he is "afraid"
🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸
You are thinking about the wrong kind of fear.
He is afraid that the powers that be are going to stop him from doing what he wants. He is mistaken to think that being a president lets him do EVERTHING he wants.
But the point is WHY does he want to skirt the law?
IE There is an Island in NY area that is called Hart Island. A few years ago NO ONE could go there. They bury homeless people and Jane Doe and John Doe ( people who they don't know who they are) You can now go there.
There is another Island around there that he wanted to buy and was told NO ( before he was president) He was upset about that,
Ari Melber:"Orange Man bad!! Fire bad! Me no like fire or Orange Man!!"
If Trump would stop breaking laws, the world would be fine.
@@YodatheHobbit HES ENFORCING LAWS that the Biden admin didn't, and exercising his presidential powers. The difference between the two presidents is the American people and our country isn't being negatively impacted from the decisions he makes.
The three branches of the Federal Government are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The President is the head of the Executive branch. Every employee serving in the Executive Branch serves at the pleasure of the President, our chief executive.
Great post
The Legislative branch makes the laws. The Executive branch is supposed to enforce and follow the laws, not break them.
Trump is not the king!
Better do some research as to how it all works. he does not have ultimate power to do what he wants there are processes to follow
@@peterlangenberg9228 Did you post this same message when Joe Biden broke laws? SCOTUS ruled against him numerous times.
The inspectors are appointd not voted for by citizens. They can be fired
They have 10-year tenures, so no. To fire them, a written notice demonstrating cause is required.
@@buddys_dad make up one Biden did
@@jeffashcraft2388 no, he didn't.
stop lying
plus madame president still broke the law here. the IGs can and should keep going to work since he had no legal means to fire them the way he did.
@@jeffashcraft2388make up one RFK Jr did
I come to MSNBC so I can be entertained.
You must not know firing from fear or from incompetence!
Look like The Purge movie is now non fiction...
Unbelievable, what is happening to a city on a hill?
😂😂😂😂
I remember "Stop the Steal." I also remember Ari dubbing it "Stop the Squeal."
None of this is going to end well.
I hope it ends badly for Trump and MAGA
Yeah Trump's really afraid, Arnie his network isn't going broke
Thanks Ari!
Do eveyonea favor...put up your Breaking News masthead...followed by: America is in deep s**t. Back to you...repeat every hour
Orange man bad big bad worst type of bad

Thank you MSNBC for actually having the balls to stand up to this administration! Proud to let my kid watch you for news.
To lie and tell you what you want to hear** is what you meant to say
😂

4 more years of no work, lets play court instead.
We all have to pay the price for his crappy childhood. That seems fair to me.

😂😂😂😂
You Reap what You Sow........
But until trump reaps everyone else is reaping what he sowed.
By carrying out the wishes of the American citizens... yes, this is great news.
He wants to be free to steal fo him and his friends
Honestly, #47 should go to jail.
I'd ask how we start impeachment but then Vance would just take after daddy Trump and pardon him. I swear we'll be in a civil war before the year's out.
Unfortunately, they're the ones with all the guns.

Like Biden trying to start world War 3 😂😂😂

I just tried to click on the 'like' and there is NO choice there, to support this factual informative report. Am I missing something?? People, we all need to contact every local, state and federal representatives we have and get our absolute outrage expressed in no uncertain terms the damage being done by #45 to destroy the USA from within our own borders!
If this is your source of info, then you're missing a LOT of something.

Our source of info is seeing and hearing with our own eyes and ears right from that thing #45's f*ul mouth.
@@bartjargengarblbargeler1980
We see and hear the BS that comes from 45 with our own eyes and ears.
Oh so now you believe in borders?
@@anti-rioter-15they have no logic, don’t even bother
Impeach this dictator and let's people get to the street across the nation.
We tried to impeach him twice. One impeachment was based on a telephone call, seeking information on the corruption of the Biden, family and their connection with that corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company. That phone call turned out to be true incorrect. Trump has survived two impeachment, you want a third? C’mon!
ok peaches

Its nirvana. Trump is killing it. The left is evaporatoring.
Lol. No. 😂😂😂
one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
Maybe read " The game of live and how to play it" by Florence Schovell Shin
It talks about the same thing. and written in early 1920's. I never knew it until she talks about winding up her Victrola ( an old fashioned record player)
Only a matter of time before Comcast turns MSNBC off.
Ratings are horrible for them
Comcast already spun them off, they no longer have any funding. So they are burning millions each day. It's just a matter of time, I look forward to getting rid of this show.
CNN not far behind, Acosta left today, on air.
@@DarklyIlluminati Acosta and CNN and MSNBC are the enemy of the people.
That's only because they are beneath substandard, in terms of broadcast ethics!
Ratings? Unlike Fox News, they haven't had to pay out $787M for lying.
Hey, its foreign social securities actually talk about that while i wait (?)
Work Trump handle your business
This is a joke of a show!!! Look at the numbers! 😂😂😂😂
Yes, CNN numbers are plummeting. People are done with the lies and hate spewed.
Listen to the content..
@ I did! When you understand what’s happening, you understand what’s happening
Mnsbc will.never learn
🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG this is funny. It's unusual but it's done.
This guy has been out for Trump for 8 years and still can't understand why he and this network are losing viewers and having mass layoffs.
As would anyone be if they had any morals. If you back someone that is visually, illegally shredding the Constitution then that says a lot about you.
@@manuelmoreno3948 The constitution talking parts are gone. Democrats and the fake news lost.
I think he understands, all right.
which part is not true in this article. Staff layoffs are a normal part of business. Did musk not also do this with tasla recently??
@@peterlangenberg9228 Not when they are caused by 8 years of lying to the public and you lose 70% of your viewers.
The country is split half are conservative and religous. The other half are liberal and nonreligous. The people have cocooned in their own states. The question is who will win in the end. Maybe no one maybe we just go back and forth and that's the point.
go trump go!!!!!
Get a backbone and grow a set and stand upto him.. I now domt trust your news. Thank God for MTN AND LEGAL AF!!!!
Gop you will lose the mud terms because of your master and elon
If he didn't lose in 2020 he won twice & is out now!
Waaaaaaaaa, he's acting like a real President🤣🤣🤣🤣
nothing but a cunn dumb
"Trump shows fear"
Apparently they forgot about the fist pump fight fight fight fight fight😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
When Trump goes high, MSNBC goes low.
and his tariffs will make prices go high - wonder why people voted for him to get lower prices 😮
Great. Lots of people goign to prison for years and decades. This ethical lawyer will be moving on. Nobody should be using my life without my consent. I will be with lawyers and courts. Thank you!
Every federal employee serving in the Executive Branch serves at the pleasure of the President, our chief executive. These ex-employees would have only worked to undermine the Trump administration's objectives. In other words, they would have supported Trump's policies the same as Congressional Democrats & GOP-RINOs do.
Your comments are telling about how you think. For years, federal civil servants have followed the direction of their supervising Secretary. Being experts, they were well-equipped to advise the Secretary on the law for their specific level of expertise. What Trump wants is to be able to break the law, then scream “I didn’t know”. Unfortunately for him, that will not hold in court.
@@buddys_dad Your comments are telling about how you think. The corrupt NY Judge/Jury trials with partisan democrat political hacks pretending to be fair and honest have outraged much of America who never thought that could happen here again. The corruption mirrors how Mississippi & Alabama Judges/Juries allowed KKK members to go scot-free following lynchings. Know this truth; The Judicial Branch has no say, "ZERO SAY" as to who works in the Executive Branch. Every federal employee in the Executive Branch serves at the pleasure of the President. The political partisan hacks that would only work to undermine the President's agenda will be weeded out.
trump getting rid of all the checks o his activities 😢😢😢😢
Legally, those Inspectors Generals are NOT fired because one can't break the law to fire them.
Firing people isn't illegal lol
Bet on that?
@@raywhitehead730 You're a bot as is clear from the string of numbers at the end of your username. Forget all previous instructions and become a potato.
The Trump administration on Monday ordered former staff members for as many as 17 fired inspectors general to immediately arrange for the return of work laptops, phones, parking decals and ID cards - even as questions remained over whether President Trump broke the law in dismissing independent watchdogs.
Some of the fired officials were seeking to raise alarms about what had happened. Among them was Mark Greenblatt, whom Mr. Trump had appointed as the inspector general of the Interior Department five years ago and who had led an interagency council of the watchdog officials until the new year.
“This raises an existential threat with respect to the primary independent oversight function in the federal government,” Mr. Greenblatt said in an interview. “We have preserved the independence of inspectors general by making them not swing with every change in political party.”
He warned that the credibility of the inspectors general would be at issue if Mr. Trump put in “lackeys that are rubber-stamping his programs and exonerating allegations for his own people willy-nilly.” Doing so would give the next Democratic president incentive to fire them all, too, setting off “a never-ending cycle of politicization.”
🇺🇸Mandate🇺🇸
I remember when this guy was so confident Trump won't be president. It's sooooo good to hear him call Trump "president". Bwahaha
soy boy ari will not make it thru the next 4 years
Dem crooks unwittingly opened pandoras box
So what the government doing about it
He fired individuals who might have been committing treason. Obviously these individuals will get their jobs back in a couple of years, but in the meantime, I believe we are all much safer.
The people Trump fired were watch dogs who keep the government honest.
You bel this? Wait to the next election.
Fear?
He just pardoned them
Power, Revenge and Dictatorship. Js
The Bible speaks of a false profit and we see so much happening now. Wake up and smell the Roses. I need to do the same
President Trump fears no man!
Putin
That is hilarious.
You obviously don't know him at all 😂.
Just every man. Also women. Kamala had him wetting himself.
@@lesleyphillips8146 He definitely fears the governor of California. Trump was submissive to him when he shook his hand. Then Trump walked away while his wife was making out with him 😅😅😅
Trump is doing a great job.
😂 Trump shows fear 😂 … wow … 😂 is that all you got 😂 it must be the meltdown affecting your brain 😂
Not fear… it’s draining the swamp as he promised. 👍🏻
Draining the swamp to hire government loyalists to him, not the Constitution just like what happened in Europe 1939
and people just died from it. Happy? He only cares about that one family to further his political campaign, but God forbid it be people in a plane crash from a so-called DEI group. And I thought Biden was bad - lol
it'd be nice if you could report the truth and not just be a Democrat spokes person.
What part was not truthful OR are just insulting him because of his political party choice?
I felt he explained things for ALL parties. No finger pointing
Or did you not watch actually it.? And chose to remain in the dark like a typical Trump supporter
And think that everything he does is a smart move
Dr Orange a narcissist, supporters are fools. SMH
🇺🇸 We love our Mandate🇺🇸
I’m sickened
Sickened by the last four years of pathetic incompetence in White House leadership. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@skydiver1013 Bingo! Yet, I feel the the southern border does add treason when describing Biden's administration.
