TRUMP calls out the RIDICULOUS Covid Stimulus nightmare.. https://youtu.be/ZnDmr87r3gI
TRUMP wasn´t allowed to enter this castle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8LUZ_WFC8U&t=165s
They forgot to mention that Blackwater is owned and operated by a Trump crony, Erik Prince, brother of Betsy DeVos, the dingbat education secretary whose intent is to privatize public education. This same Erik Prince who who is reported to have represented Trump in a top secret meeting with a Russian CEO, and a representative of the United Arab Emirates, The former in order to form a back channel with the Kremlin. The latter to secure contributions.
You Watched this Video So You Probably Still Believe the MSM is Reporting Accurate Information. Did You Know That Before Obama left Office he Signed a law that allowed the Main Stream Media to use Propaganda against the American People, just like Hitler did when he hired Joseph Goebbels as the Propaganda Minister of Nazi Germany. The MSM reported this story had been debunked. By the way the phrase “conspiracy theory” and “debunked” were both coined by the CIA as a method to shut down legitimate inquiry into subjects that could prove embarrassing to them. Now for the proof. Type this into Google ” Obama allows MSM propaganda” Notice the first article listed is from AP associated press that feeds much of the reporting for the MSM, its article, is titled: Obama did not sign a law allowing propaganda in the U.S. the next article is from Politifact (these are fact checkers for the left) the title of their article is: No, Obama didn’t make it legal for media outlets to … – PolitiFact. these are your trusted sources remember. Obama & the Dems were sneaky and stuffed the propaganda act into the large defense authorization bill, the Act is Called The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act and here is a link to it: https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736 . The MSM really is the enemy of the people. Now that you has seen the proof for yourself, why would you continue watching them?
White people think they gods all over this world, not all white people, but in time the most high said it is coming to a end. Then will pay the price of all evil done to the world
Iraq didn’t have an insurgent problem until we invaded it for oil.

America has become the standard of how not to govern a country.
As a hard moderate, raised in CA, and a veteran, I can see how liberalism and war views don’t mix. These guys took it to the extreme. I also get the bully psychology. My minor is psych. and I can see why it makes sense to them. #SpiralDynamics
These the same people he wants to police our streets in Amerikkka. Same tactics. This is what he meant by MAGA..👎🏾
America Great Bully do as they like. Who dare to go against USA. Be Careful, US will sanctions, talk bad, propaganda, or bomb you as they like.
Putin said it was ok for trump to do this lol
Thank god on Jan 20 WE can drain the swamp and get rid of the vile creature thatTrump is.
It’s remembered here as a massacre too.
Ha Ha HA Ho Ho Ho He He He snort …”On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations. The 16 were convicted of conspiracy and sedition and sentenced with terms ranging from 35 to 105 years in prison. Clinton offered clemency on the condition that the prisoners renounce violence, seeing as none of the 16 had been convicted of harming anyone and they had already served 19 years in prison”…….
Oh come on, They were just Protesting
So what.
America has *never* factually gave a rat turd about human rights.
In America, one doesn’t have *”rights”* one only has *”privileges”*
American presidents have routinely pardoned criminals

Engelios just another tentacle of the swamp trying to sound persuasive, trying to sound good, trying to do his underhanded job of peddling fake fake fake news
Those 4 guards need to be put down via firing squad. And so does trump for even pardoning them and bringing this country to the brink of despair. Never in my life has the country been in worse shape. And it only took him 4 years.
America isn’t the hero in Iraq
It is the reason why Iraq is totally messed up over 40 years
Its ok for obama, bill clinton , george bush , to pardon thousands of criminals , drug dealers and murderers . Your a joke nbc you make me laugh, Trump pardons innocent people. Americans see how corrupt biden is and your media backs him your a joke look at his son we know about the fake impeachment and rigged elecrion against trump . When you gonna get it nbc we allready know your lies and most of the positive responses on here towards your information is fake, we are deceiving you . We are close to watching the trials against fake news media you are the dumb ones not americans right pole surpressionist lol you know the real number of trump votes 90 to 120 million imagine all the ones who did not vote that support trump . We do, and guess what were not gonna let the globalist , the radical democrates , or the 50, 000 infiltrated commies who are in the usa and in congress stop us from removing joe biden and kamalla harris ……
I was in Iraq in 2005-6 and Blackwater did not have a good rep with the rank and file military. Many of them had Special Forces training, but even more than the extra money they were making, it was felt that they did not like military discipline. They did not answer to the military and they really did not answer to the State Department except through the well-connected leaders of their company. Note that they were told to stay put and they disobeyed. They were miles from the targets they were supposedly protecting and none were coming their way. This is the problem, also, with chicken hawk Republicans. They adore the tough guy image, but the real tough guys were the Canadian Mounties who Rode into hostile Indian camps such as that of Sitting Bull unaccompanied. With the chicken hawks, toughness almost always goes hand in hand with cruelty and selfishness. Ultimately, they were also incompetent. They fired at everything that moved because they were scared. Thousands of US soldiers under military discipline were part of convoys without similar incidents.
bill clinton also pardoned a lot of crooks but did not hear a whimper from these fake news media
Disgusting
Trump is best President America
you think those dominion voting machines were in the at&t building blown up ?
I can’t believe that Congress is not intervening, Trump is breaking laws and constitutional rights. WHY?
Throw campbell soup cans hard
Must suk to be a republican right now
American troops murdered THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis and there was zero consequence. No one got fired , no one was sent to jail. Nothing will come of this and Trump knows it. Ordinary people are subject to the law but not the rich and powerful. Nixon was let free and Trump knows he will not suffer any consequence for ANY of his actions.
A murderer pardons murderers!
REMEMBER BENGHAZI AND STOP YOUR LIES. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CRIES COMMITTED BY THE DEMOCRATS THAT NEED TO BE PROSECUTED AND BROUGHT TO JUSTICE !
CRIMES NOT CRIES.
When I was in Iraq in 2005 as a convoy unit (USMC), our SOP was that coalition forces OWNED THE ROAD. This meant, quite literally, the NAZI version of Jim Crow: If we were on the road, they pull off (and hands are visible at ALL times, just short of doffing hats and bowing heads). If a weapon became visible, at any time, we had divine right to use any and all weapons to completely and utterly destroy that vehicle. If the convoy was in motion, an oncoming vehicle (from front or rear) would start getting waved off at 300 meters. At 200m, a red star cluster would be fired directly at their windscreen. At 150m, shots would be fired into the asphalt in front of the vehicle. At 100m, shots would be fired into the engine block. At 75-50m, all occupants die. So it wasn’t just mercenaries that had these extreme measures in 2005 and prior. If you didn’t, you were dead. If a vehicle got in your convoy, it was probably a kamikaze. Does that excuse indiscriminate firing like these idiots or the Marines in Haditha? No way. Does that mean change the SOP/ROE to the point that our troops are the ones totally handicapped. No. It means we probably shouldn’t act like the Waffen SS, but should still have very harsh measures in place.
There should be a law against pardoning murderers!
Lip service
Whatever defined under laws, so be it. Let US courts repel what are not. Learnt so much about Trump impeachment…it created idiots, morons. liars, pinnochios, ignorants and stupids to the extremes.
Who would want American’s, they are all tainted with the same brush as Trump, but Biden can make the turn to correct the wrong left behind
Bagdad has it’s warlords and politicians selling their own country
That time Trump made a deal with Blackwater to take back the Presidency.
They look & act like Michigan militia types. Guys with little pps & even smaller brains carrying big guns…trump’s favorites 🙄
Every drop of blood that sheds in Iraq after the 2003 wer will be a curse on them , and the American people and the American government,because God will take revenge on they if them do not put an end to this injustice.
Trump has done a great job, for Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. He has sullied the American reputation abroad. Reputations are like glass, once broken they can almost never be repaired.
Crucial work. 🥀
These crooks paid big bucks for the pardons. Time to cash out. Sorry no free lunch.
Mass shootings, Pinky power, Burnt buildings, Looting, Mugging and Police brutality.
Just another racist, anti-Islamic, anti-communist day in the US.
The US must be held accountable for American human rights abuses at home and abroad.
Russian Hackers searched for US intelligence but found nothing intelligent!
What is America’s fixation with Trump?
No Covid relief and Pardons for criminals.
He is just another loud mouth pinky power American, just another ant at a picnic.
Germans are still teased about Nazis today, 75 years later.
It follows that Americans will still be teased about being simple-minded MAGATs in 2095!
Kidnappings and bombings – Sound like Baghdad, no just another day in the US.
TRUMP DID IT SO PEOPLE WOULD TALK ABOUT IT (LIKE THIS NEWS REPORT) AND DISTRACT FROM THE FACT THAT HE ALSO PARDONED HIS CRONIES (ROGER STONE, PAUL MANAFORT, AND SO ON). IT’S JUST A DISTRACTION. HE DOESN’T CARE WHAT HE DID.
This verbiage is way above Trumps cult heads. America will be in turmoil for years to come because of Trump? his Klan, and his children.
STOP THE STEAL
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Write to the State Legislators.
Urge them to Call an Electoral Session, hear the evidence, reclaim their electors before January 6th.
The Founders laid this out in the U.S. Constitution to guard against widespread fraud at the State level.
They need to stop hiding behind the Governors refusal.
All you have to do is open the links below and copy the list to your email, draft your message and send. You can send these to any state – you don’t need to reside in that state.

*You pardon war criminals than you are a war criminal its as simple s that*
Disgraceful that Trump pardoned these criminals. He has sold his soul to the devil. He’s pure evil.
Trump doesn’t blink about international opinion . He does what stupid does . Al Capone if he is alive , will be pardoned too .
Trump makes me sick to my stomach. He needs to be deported.
Now trump is pardoning terrorists…
I knew it, it’s so bad for the USA safety that he did this. Not to mention that this are murderers. They will murder again, in the USA. En then the comments on the true crime YouTube channels will be that they don’t understand that these people were released from jail.
He has gone way too far, way too long ago. When is someone going to end this assault on humanity? Obviously, the Republicans are so unable to they are complicit. Not the kind of Republicans I know. Trumplicans.
Trump’s refusal to accept election defeat is a deep psychological wound that is similar to a serious physical wound: both get worse unless treated. Trump must accept the reality of his defeat for his psychological wound to heal. If he doesn’t, he’s likely to become certifiably insane well before 2024: his enablers are his worst enemies!
Small men with big guns👿👿👿
Wow… His Secretary of Education’s brother called in a favor… I am shocked… SHOCKED!!! Ok… Maybe not so much…
the disturbing footage of what they did yrs ago,
to this day i wish i hadn’t seen it. it was clockwork orange in real life .
dirty water scum ! trumps new maralago guard dogs.
So I must say his sister Betsy Devos, through Pearson, has done Equal damage to the public education system! As her and wealthy people send their kids to private schools, they support public education that keeps the working class and lower economic levels down.
Iraq owes trump a surprise. Hopefully it’ll be sooner than later.
It disgusts me that these creeps were pardoned.
Trump should pardon Assange!!!
@0:19 duh ask black america 🤦🏾♂️
Black water…run by the education secretary DeVos ‘s Brother. Wonder how much she paid for that one.
All the Trumpers are quiet now. Your savior is a criminal supporter.
I was born, raised and live in the US and I love our country. However, I know that many Americans think their lives are more important than others. Especially in war torn countries. It is an ugly arm of racism. Japan, Korea, Viet Nam, Middle east. This is the only pardon I feel was very wrong. Lives were lost. Important lives.
Richard still sounds very touched and upset about their pardon. I will have to say” oh my gosh what’s next”
I apologize to the Iraqis and the world. Don’t paint all Americans like these Blackwater and Trump monsters.
not an Iraqi but….Pardon-ing the likes of these scum is literally *nothing* compared to what the current and *democratic* political class of Iraq (funny thing that most of them were labeled as *opposition* parties by Western powers and most of them lived in the US and Europe and were raised by them) had done to Iraqis.
Heck last year the political class of iraq caused the deaths of 700+ anti-govt protesters and injured at least 20000+ of them (tho i might be slightly off on the numbers of injured people sooo you might wanna check them yourself on wiki or ask an iraqi activist about them)
Worst president ever.
President Donald Trump is demanding lawmakers raise the second round of stimulus checks to $2,000 per person, from $600. This is nothing but a bluff. In the poker world, there’s a name for the style of game Trump plays: “aggressive maniac.” The aggro maniac is the player who raises and raises on poor hands, hoping to cow more passive players into submission. It’s a style of play that’s incredibly high in variance: You win a lot, but you also lose the maximum as better players figure the maniac out. Never back down against Trump. If you want to win, you must call his bluff.https://youtu.be/24QKYig1prU
Remember these murderers names! Never forget their crimes!
Can’t people who interfere in overturning war crimes be prosecuted for there interference?
Trump is truly a wack o , He needs to be put in handcuffs and escorted out NOW, Not in January. Neglect Of Duty. Silly how this selfish person can let Harm come to his people. I just cant understand this logic .
Trump may be attempting to stitch together his coup scheme by assembling a collection of militia, mercenaries, and influencers.
heard , liberty , slatten , slough
Devil’s brother should be happy his murders are out of jail.
These guys will have to spend the rest of their lives looking over their shoulders and everyone around them will be in danger being around them. In Iraq they value family and follow an eye for an eye honor killings. They or those close to the family and others will be hunting these murders until the last one is killed.
the travesty of justice is the election fraud disinfranchising millions of voters , hillary not going to jail for her crimes , comey for his crime in letting her free, big tech scensoring , msm not telling FULL stories ,there a lot of travesties in america , america is the most corrupt country in the world .
Only America can go to someone else’s country and treat their citizens of that country as if their second class. And tell them The Usa wants to bring democracy and Peace.
Look @ nicholas slatten…sicko
01:40 Bullies he says. Two words: Car bombs. They threw water jugs at a car in a war zone with car bombs the talking head says.. That being said, there is no justification to intentionally harm innocent people.
Trump loves those kinds of individuals. I’m surprised he waited this long to pardon the murderers. Smdh
Get RID OF THE DEFENSE BILL AND USE IT FOR THE STIMULUS CHECKS
That makes no sense
Lets not forget that Betsey DeVos’ brother is Eric Prince, founder of BW now Academi.
There are some sad stories regarding these sentences, theyre not all bad guys
That’s like saying that Iraqui lives don’t matter.
Filthy criminal Trump has blood dripping from his little hands!
The world is playing a dangerous game towards people, and it will backfire. Homeless and hungry people have nothing to lose. He is busy selling pardons, spending our money on lawyers and foreign countries and foundations for kickbacks. It is all Fake folks!
SOLUTIONS:
The only fair stimulus is to give every household $20,000 of OUR money, and $2,000.00
per month for training and working online. The vaccine is the Jim Jones ‘s Kool Aid!
God is not happy, and everyone will reap what they have sown.
Families are moving in with grandparents on Social Security!
It is all lies folks, and the rules are more about control, than health issues. Masks do not do anything!
WTFU or else …
God is not happy, and a huge change is coming.
The vaccine is the Kool Aid. folks.
. The lies being told to us reminds me of Jonestown, , with the so call leaders acting like Jim Jones. Please wake up people, before it is too late.
This is Jim Jones and the People’s Temple world wide. WTFU people.
acajudi100 for my videos…
Good at least the world will hold America responsible.
He’s doing that as revenge against Democracy. Pure psychopath
Terrorists support terrorists and USA is worlds top terrorists
