  1. If you gave a crap about our political system, you wouldn't be complaining about one side or the other. You did. You don't care. All you care about is your "team". Rah. Meanwhile, the country suffers because when you have a chance to be heard, you drag the conversation into a forum for nakedly party-based insults. Did it occur to you to mention how Anita Hill was stabbed in the back just so we could elect the most mute justice ever appointed to the SCOTUS? Were you sickened by that? Of course, not. You had your team jersey on during those hearings, your double-can beer helmet on with the hose going into your mouth, and the GOP foam middle finger flipping off the TV. Rah! Open your eyes and try using your brain. If you want to "fix the system", address problems in the system, don't insult half the country with your Jerry Springer-quality party politicking.

  2. The seniority system is one thing that encourages reelection. If constituents don't want to lose their place at the table, they have to re-elect the same guy REGARDLESS OF PARTY! If "your guy" is a committee chairman, do you realize how much power your particular voting jurisdiction (Representative district or Senatorial state) has relative to the rest of the country? If your jurisdiction sends a new representative, your jurisdiction loses that special committee power! So, special interests and voters develop a keen interest in reelecting the same guy. Other special interests that don't benefit from a particular committee are not corresponding motivated to elect someone new for eventually heading another committee, because (a) they can just buy the guy who IS heading that committee, and (b) it would take *decades* for a new guy to even have a shot at being committee chairman. So, until we change the seniority system, EVERY voter has an interest in reelecting their representative!

  3.  @Nolaman70  - Buffoon, most people in cities so it's sheer common sense statistics that since cities are typically Democrat-controlled, they will have the most deaths.

  4. I think you might want to look at the Saudis and Trump himself when discussing the Iranian boat video.

  5. So when will Fox News and McConnell call for eight separate investigations into the Baghdad invasion of the embassy?

  6. Well, they learned from the Republicans. How many Benghazi hearings did they run and how many found Hillary to blame? Right - none. And how much money was spent. Over and over and over and...?

  7.  @b.b.4831  - You're a tool and a fool. Cheney was SO intent on generating a narrative, when the FBI and CIA were not lying for him, he grabbed some folks from the Pentagon and began running a propaganda "intel" office from within the White House. This is all known from public records! Eventually, as a result of being sidelined by this, some in the CIA began to "play ball" and put out "intel" with the spin and even lies that Cheney wanted. As for other countries, some people in those other countries had mutual interests in helping the US start war, so they went along. Britain was well known for being willing to join the propaganda parade, for example.

  8. Use the settings "gear" icon to shut them off. I see the icon in the lower right corner. It has a CC setting for this video.

  9. Oh, but Cheney and Bush left Obama with such a great plan, right? The invasion of Iraq was a terrrible idea for US interests and other countries as well. So many have payed an awful price, including Syrians butchered by ISIS. Syria didn't fall apart because of the Arab Spring. It fell apart as a result of consequences of the US destruction of Iraq.

  11.  @fiddleDdee  - Criminality and politics are often linked. Hence, Trump being on trial for willfully breaking the law even as his staff asked him not to do it.

  15.  Dona Herndon  - If you were a real American, not a Russian agent, you would know what George Washington did for this country. You would recognize his greatness. Same for Jefferson. Same for Lincoln. Yet you claim a lying narcissist whose every business failed is the greatest US President ever. He is now bankrupting the US like his companies, running up the largest deficit EVER IN US HISTORY. You can consider that an "achievement" but it is not a positive one. It is historically the worst ever. And generations of people will pay, over and over just so he can have two years of slightly lower unemployment while he enriches the elites. Stay in Russia if that's where you are. If you're a US citizen, try acting like one by waking up to facts, not fantasies.

  17.  @lucasw59  - Politicians don't make money by taxing people, fool. They make through private and institutional contributions, along with beneficial trades like insider trading.

  18.  Dona Herndon  - Not if they serve for a decade with a spouse who has middle class income. If you can't become a millionaire in ten years on their salary and with an employed spouse, you would be a poor money manager or else facing highly unusual costs beyond just cost of living in DC!

  19. Ever here of parts of organizations called revenue centers and others called cost centers? Much of government, BY ITS NATURE, is in the cost center category. Converting one's effort into "production" numbers becomes an exercise in delusion. Oh, don't get me wrong. People like you have successfully force cost centers into showing unmeasurable "revenue numbers". For example, the FAA could show the value of human lives it saved every time a flight landed instead of crashing. Is that helpful, viewing their role as "production"? No. Get a clue. Your range of life of experience is pathetically narrow compared to the breadth of what happens in the federal government. Nobody could come close to even reading all the job titles, let knowing what people do.

  20. Wake up. Trump is LITERALLY laughed at overseas, even by leaders caught on camera. If you had a child acting like Trump, you would demand they stop acting so childishly!

  21. Once a GOP-controlled SCOTUS (and already the Appellate Courts) is secured for generations BEFORE the election, then abortion rights will be doomed. Given that, what appeal can a non-Christian Trump have for the Evangelical right? Seriously, the man never went to church, he cheated on all his wives AND his investors. He lies all the time. What reason will Evangelicals have to support Trump after SCOTUS is secured before the election?

  22.  TangoX  - Wow. Someone triggered you. If you want half a country to go to hell, then you really need interventional psychiatric therapy ASAP.

  23. Repeat a lie enough and it becomes fact. Are you a real Russian government agent, or just a GRU or SVR wannabe?

  24. The private sector is only part of the real world. There is a reason government works as it does. It's not all bad, either. And rashly threatening to fire endless people is just dangerously CHILDISH.

  25. Private companies are PRIVATE. They exist for the pleasure of only the shareholders, according to US law. The government exists for ALL citizens and is not to be treated the same. Carelessly gutting institutions may feel fulfilling, but it can have profoundly negative consequences.

  26. Gaetz opposes free speech, particularly the right to donate to politicians without losing your right to be a subject matter expert. Of course, Gaetz is just FINE with corporations that donate to him and then go on to have their CEOs testify and even write the legislation for Congress. THAT is OK, but allowing the people to have opinions different than his is TREASON!

  29. There are so many noobs in these comments, even older noobs. Do you people realize EVERY politician has made speeches like this? Don't measure a politician by his words, unless you want to get a really long tape measure. Measure by his results. Watch this fella run for re-election when it is apparent he can win. Watch him do it over and over. Enjoy watching it, wondering where all of his sincerity about term limits went!

  30. Anything Parnas says would need verification. Is it possible to verify his claims? If not, they are a non-starter.

  33. Trump's trial is about Trump, not Pelosi, Schumer, Maddow, Biden, or anyone else. He broke the law holding up aid. That's a fact. He did it for personal gain and EVEN USED HIS PERSONAL LAWYER TO DO IT. That's a fact. Even Giulani admits he did that! Even Trump admits he did that. So, if he broke the law acting in his personal interest in an act involving obvious national security along with usurping Congress's intent, then he is guilty. Neither Pelosi, Schumer, Maddow, Biden, or anyone else matters. If you are talking about them when talking about Trump's trial, you're deflecting. Make your case without deflection AND without lying or using unsubstantiated claims. Good luck!

  34. Trump supporters love that Trump lacks introspection. They love to attack people for calling into question anything about their decisions or their character. Sad thing is, when you react that way to people and refuse to engage in introspection, you become a bully and won't maintain good character.

  36.  @tstjohn777  - Look up "enslaved" and "proved". You will find those words don't mean what you think they do. I would say look up "educate" as well, but I'm not sure you could handle that one.

  37. Let's get this right. The Executive Branch is run by Trump. The Senate is run by Trump's henchman. The SCOTUS has his new loyal appointee. Even the Fed is now loyal to Trump. And you think the US Federal government has it's most powerful intel branch headed by the Democratic Nat Committee? That sounds like Putin talk, complaining just so everybody in US gov't will offer a blood oath to Trump. Whatever happened to free and independent voters in this country, instead of brainwashed people following Russian troll talk like yours?

  38. @OniKage - Clinton met REGULARLY to review progress on the hunt for OBL. Bush stopped those meetings. He didn't want to offend his family friends. Get your perspective and facts right!

  39. But, but, but. Trump's trial is a trial about Trump, not Biden. BIden's conduct is irrelevant. If the Senate wanted to investigate Biden, they could.

  41. @minibrain - Really? Just how much did it cost to get people to storm an embassy? Fifty bucks? You're an idiot for even thinking "real" money matters in this embassy demonstration.

  42. Not when the reply is going to involve political response. Would you want the Kamala Harris team of a select few evaluating you along with MILLIONS of others at the same time?

  43. When your headline is talking about how other people were freaking out and you seem happy about it, it says a lot about you. What good are your policies? How can you help others who are scared of your policies find common ground with you? If you don't think that is what matters, rather than "sticking it" to people, you're a sociopath and shouldn't be leading conversations about politics.

  44.  @crazyscott2646  - When you think half of the public is "tyrants" yet your own political party has a vise grip on government, you're a real twit. You're also a full-on drama queen. Take a Xanax, hero man. You're a nervous Nellie who might get himself hurt. Just take a nap, go to your safe space, and take a nap with your guns. At least they will give you more love than the women who never did.

  45.  osu67  - If one Constitutionally removes the electoral college, how is that nefarious? The electoral college induces political behavior that cause state-level divisions and biases. When the EC was created, states were considered to be more independent than they are today. Now people are more in tune with being all part of one country. Few people want to Balkanize the US and have it fall apart.

  48. Are you a bad troll, or just really stupid? I seriously think you would get insight by taking an IQ test. What WMDs do you claim Iran possesses and how did the Dems give them to Iran? And what has Trump done about Iran and North Korea except say he loves Li'l Kim? Wow, if there is one way to deter Li'l Kim, it's to tell him you wuv him. He was REALLY scared by Trump after that. Sheesh, you're an idiot.

  49. It could be orchestrated, as disproving claims of secret conspiracies is difficult. However, it is ridiculous to suggest that people watching the news want to watch another news "item" about yellow vest or Hong Kong protesters. Nothing has changed with regards to those two protests, so there is no "NEWS". Do you realize "NEWS" should be NEW (and significant to the viewer)? I am very concerned for the people of Hong Kong, but I have NO interest in rehashed coverage with nothing new to say. Just because you want people to respond to a situation does NOT make anything newsworthy.

  50. You asked a question, so listen to the answers. You asked why the Senate would take witnesses. EVERY Senate trial has had witnesses. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Not good enough for you? How about common sense. The *SENATE* is runnign the trial. It is a trial, not a review. A trial involves presenting all evidence, including any witnesses for or against the defendant. The Senate has prohibited that without bipartisan agreement. THAT is why. If the Democrats did it, it would be just as wrong. Nothing else matters. The Democrats could be agents of Satan and the GOP could be angels working for God. For all that, the way trials work is that witnesses can be brought forth. That is why EVERY SINGLE SENATE TRIAL HAS HAD WITNESSES. COMMON SENSE.

  51. Losers who watch these hearings for conflict and anger are just that - losers. Did you learn anything about the ramifications of allowing politicians to do what Trump did? Do you want the next Hillary doing what Trump did?

  52. What makes you think Elon Musk and his team have enough time or expertise to actually read those emails and evaluate an employee's value? You're a massive loser if you think he has time and expertise. He had the the seed of a great idea, and instead of planting it and watering it, he set it on fire. His plan to fix things is a mess in itself. He's a fool.

  53. The government is not a business. The public is entitled to proper management. Some of the citizens affected by the cutbacks are the employees. Other citizens care about these employees. And, other citizens also care that rash cutbacks are not going to damage the government. ANY company that threatens to fire everybody based on their replies to an email is a company headed for a crash. Nobody with the time and training was prepared to even read all of the emails musk demanded, never mind some employees would not have time to respond. And for good reasons, some of them, not just "I don't want to."

  54. Plenty of people can work and not accomplish their job. For example, the GOP will often intentionally underfund agencies and departments and expect them to reach unreachable goals given the budget. The GOP has often done this with the claim that such failures mean the agencies work should be outsourced to the private sector. Then the lowest bidder gets the job, cuts corners, skims off operational budgets, and the taxpayer has to pay more per service, not less. And it all starts with the government asking people to do more than the budget supports. So, YES, this can happen and does. It happens in the private sector every day as well. Your job ends up including your "stretch goals", "personal development plan", and "putting out fires", all on over time without extra pay. Sometimes it even involves pushing people to failure and acting like such a thing was good management while blaming the employees for being failures. If you had accumulated experience in life, you would know that.
