Full Martin & Burns: Lindsey Graham Threatened Use Of The 25th Amendment On January 6th
No matter how compelling the story is at the upcoming committee public hearings, it will change very few minds. That’s the nature of a brainwashed cult & the brainwashing process. We are in uncharted territory when it comes to expelling a “Party” that is in reality now a Domestic Terrorist Organization. The Dems are the Majority Party & THEY CAN WRITE THE RULES! If the Dems would just grow a spine & use the bold action they claim is necessary to protect democracy, here’s what needs to be done:
1) The overwhelming majority of the Majority Party in Congress (there will always be a couple of gullible or greedy holdouts) must certify that the GOP is now a Domestic Terrorist Organization bent on destroying democracy & worthy of immediate expulsion from American politics, elections & governing.
2) The Executive Branch must confirm this is true & issue an Executive Order immediately barring the “participation” of anything GOP.
3) If any case immediately comes up before the SCOTUS, Justice Thomas & the 3 Justices seated by the 45th must recuse themselves.
4) The first bill passed by what remains of Congress should be HR1, followed by an original Build Back Better Bill.
The GOP has polluted & poisoned civil discourse. They’ve politicized & polarized EVERYTHING they can.
Sane Americans are certain of GOP high crimes – an attempted coup resulting in an insurrection – both acts of sedition. And treason – for the 3rd time (that we know of) the “leader” of this DTO & brainwashed cult has solicited foreign intervention in American politics & elections.
That Dems are choosing appeasement over the expulsion of GOP per 14th Amendment, Section 3 AND Federal Codes 18 U.S. Codes 2381 (Treason) & 2383 (Rebellion & Insurrection) – “not qualified to hold public office” because of “support of insurrectionists” continues the danger to American democracy. If the DOJ doesn’t have enough evidence to make an airtight prosecutable case on SOMETHING by now, they are incompetent public servants or obstructionists. And it plays into the narrative that “Dems are soft on crime”.
Of course, the facts are much different after 5 years of crimes of the highest order including treason, sedition, insurrection, violation of sworn oaths & several Constitutional Laws, International Laws & Human Rights Laws. Almost every member of that revolving-door-Cabinet in that totally corrupt “Administration” committed ethics violations. And (99%) of the Congressmembers were complicit & culpable because they denied it occurred & refused to hear testimony at BOTH IMPEACHMENTS. The GOP has devolved into a criminal organization, brainwashed cult & DTO worthy of expulsion ASAP – certainly before the November elections.
If people really played attention, they know what’s really going on with trump and mitch relationship
Incredible intellect
And, will this help you sir teacher. Played. Thanks!
GOP = “Getting Orders from Putin.”
Anthony “Dial labratrace 666” Fauci ate my kidz toy poodle, he said he he he had magical Disneyworld diplomatic immunity.🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Who do these people think Lindsay Graham is, especially with his words. What attention and weight do people put on such person, who will always go back to eat his vomit, just like a dog after barking, he is swallow by fear.
You mixed your metaphors, but I get your point. He’s scared and trying to figure out how to keep his job, even if he’s forgotten what it was about.
Chuck, your pants are down….. Far left??
Only corporate wh0re$ say that chuckie 🤭😜
Even Joe’s Chief of Staff says that he goes off on a tangent occasionally and Hass to be brought back. We see the rapid onset of dementia whenever Joe is making a public appearance. The problem with the 25th amendment is that next in line is Kamala and she has proven to be incompetent. Absolutely totally incompetent. We are in serious trouble and perhaps we need to hold new elections now before our democracy is gone forever.
I love that watching actually the denotagation of our Democracy for a
group of idiots that grew up under it and miraculously reverted back to puberty stages watching fox proganda network as a cartoon network
Sean Hannity is a threat to democracy.
As a child my mother was told by her parents, and all children knew, they were to look away, as persons of Jewish faith, were being hauled off to concentration camps. I don’t think looking the other way will help our nation.
That’s the main problem, looking away. These people seem to think if their neighborhood is on fire, shutting the curtains makes it disappear. It doesn’t.
They sincerely don’t care unless it’s happening to them!
You’re right I wished more people cared.
I agree 100%. As a school raised Roman Catholic we learned their were sins of omission and sins of commission. Standing by and watching evil in your face and doing nothing is the same as doing it yourself. Black and white. Morality has no specific religion, there is right and wrong.
@Virginia O’Flaherty I wasn’t raised Catholic, but that’s a good way to put it, omission and commission. I’ll remember. Thanks, Virginia.
…..people don’t trust the voting process, anymore ….
10 %for the big guy and office keys for Joe Jim and Jill Biden come on mannn..
The president needs support that is only being withheld by the do nothing (if it’s not in their own self-interests) republicans. As to where Biden’s been lately, Just saving democracy with the amazing coordination of NATO against the greatest existential threat since WWII. Come on guys. How blind can YOU be as to getting off the sidelines moving forward.
#08.29.21: “UN ANSWERED” ACT OF “WAR” [ During PEACE TIME ] U.S. MILITARY “Caused” CIVILIAN CASUALTIES: Mr. Ahmadi’s RELATIVES said; 10 Members of their FAMILY, Including “SEVEN CHILDREN”, were KILLED in STRIKE: Mr. Ahmadi and Three of his CHILDREN: Zamir, 20, Faisal, 16, and Farzad, 10; His COUSIN, Naser, 30; Three of Romal’s children, Arwin, 7, Benyamin, 6, and Hayat, 2; Two 3-yr-old girls, Malika and Somaya. MILITARY RESPONSE is LEGAL! C.R.A.N.K.
The Russian are going down like the over 700 Propaganda Trump rallies .and still going like a Energizer battery.
Prediction Trump will govern the course of the Republican party for the 2024 Presidential cycle as kingmaker not as it’s candidate… AND Biden will not run for a second term…
Perhaps
Who knows…Time will tell. I just want to see TrumpleThinSkin in an orange jumpsuit someday soon. He’s so corrupt
@Judy Chandler extradinary intellect
Nothing matters. Trumpers will vote for the fool(s) no matter what…. as long as they hate what they hate.
I guess Jonathan misplaced his razor & forgot the interview was on National Television
Is this 1950 when every guy was clean-shaven? Who cares he has some stubble. Focus, Lisa, Focus.
@harm864 I was distracted by his stubble
Ok grandma.
MH17 MH17 MH17 !!!
Lindsey Graham is not a person to be taken seriously. He’s like a flag, he sways back and forth.
Or just flows with the prevailing wind no matter it’s direction!
More like toilet paper… but yes.
I was thinking tree made of marshmallow, but ok.
Harris crying over people not standing for her like they do for the President confirms everything I’ve suspected about who she is and what she thinks is important.
then i request to use all the 38th
If the POTUS is the most powerful and respected person in the Party and the government, then the VPOTUS is the 2nd most powerful person, etc., etc. VP Harris is absolutely right! She is being disrespected. This is a reflection of the bigotry and sexism that continues to influence our national discourse to this day. Love it or mate it, here it is, the way we made it.
Write down the names of all these republican traitors.
Message for puppet Joe’s followers:
Anti-America democratic party and demented Joe’s ratings are down. Their strategies: 1. smearing and deflection. 2. importing illegal immigrants to dilute Americans’ votes
Biden is luring in millions and millions of illegal immigrants bribing them with freebies funded by the the trillions dollar covid relief fund ( Americans get 9%, rest going to the social programs bribing voters)
Now you know why the anti-America democratic party is pushing “No voter ID’s, voting rights bill” The democrats are telling Americans “voter ID’s are racist”. Free charter fights, free housing, free healthcare, education etc to illegal on your tax $ to vote against Americans’ interests while you are suffering from Biden’s inflation and soaring gas price. . Voting anti-America democrats has consequences
Watch how their stories have changed! Not a shock they allowed this manic and all that went with him. No one will read this book and it will change no minds. The rightwing has lost its mind
NOT NEWS. I KNEW THAT.
If I knew it before YOU, what does that mean?
I hate this liberal fake democrat network.
Is Todd a liberal I can’t quite tell….
I never thought I’d be cheering for Liz👌
And you shouldn’t. A traitor that changed side later on is still a traitor
There was a time when Republicans seemed normal. I never agreed with their policies but they were normal.
@hangender You are wrong.
@sealyoness cool story
McConnell and McCarthy, GUTLESS REPUBLICANS!!!
Didn’t see inflation coming ? You gave out checks, free money, to millions of Americans. Twice. That should have been a dead giveaway. I didn’t need it. No one asked. But I knew that it was a reality that it would come back to haunt us.
Recongizing the Vice President, means, recognizing the Vice President, show you have respect for yourself and others!!!
I think everyone knows, there is no way Biden can do another 4 years. It’s just not possible. He won because tRump was such a dumbazz. I personally think Biden and the democrats need to think about this soon. He should actually resign within the next 6 to 8 months and give Harris a chance to prove herself to the American public, or to fall on her face, so we can start looking for the next democrat to run in 2024.
Liberal clowns!
This is scary about Joe Manchin!
The republican party is the american nazi party 🎯
These here wise guys, the Gypsy big rigs, the hard case handle on it, up in the club
Trump’s a terrorist ! Isn’t anyone even wants to here about his crap ! Waste of time !
Trump has a trick up his sleeve, the G.O.P. He’s only dumb when he’s facing charges.
It’s absolutely breathtaking how obsessed you ppl are with Trump and January 6th. Especially after everything that has come to light the past 6 months. But I guess you would need to be consuming something besides bias media to know about all that. I’m so glad this narrative is dying. As much as I hate watching liberal media, I’m glad that I do. It reminds me of why I’m a libertarian.
I support Joe Biden and the West’s stabilization of Democracy in the face of the authoritarians such as Xi and Putin.
Lindsey Graham, Chuck Todd. Go away….
TRUMP IS STUPID.
Why are Trump’s trials taking so long? JAIL TREASONOUS TRAITOR TRUMP.
Thank God, every country on Earth except America have NOT become followers of the Fox TV/News Max/Facebook religion.
WE LIVE IN A GENERATION WHERE TEASING AND LAUGHING AT AMERICANS IS THE NORM.
How do we care about any of this when we don’t have freedom of speech or freedom of press we can’t watch the Russian Channel on YouTube that’s been blocked we can’t hear Putin’s messages or his announcements we just get to hear your interpretation of them these people at the top need to be in jail
When are people going to realize you can’t take the word of Lindsay Graham?
Lindsay Who?
Republican Party is greatest threat to humanity QAnon Seditionist on nose nose 👃. Candy 🍭. ). V. T. O.
Why have these gentlemen on and not let them tell their story as they know it?
As a Malaysian, watching your discourse on Donald Trump and American politics, I can’t help but conclude that DEMOCRACY is utterly dysfunctional in US.
The GOP is embracing politics of DIVISION, RACISM, BIGOTRY, AND THE BIG LIE.
They have nothing constructive or policies of NATIONAL INTERESTS.
Senator Harris became the VP. She must be respected in whatever manner the VP is normally treated. Give her the same respect that Biden had as VP.
respect is NOT a right..it MUST BE EARNED….and no one is ‘worthy’ of respect if they dont do their job, and make their country the LAUGHING STOCK of the world
@Jac Daniels My statement relies on “respect goes to the office, not the person.” But my comment doesn’t read that way, sorry.
@Lestats Games don’t apologize, you were 100% correct. The office deserves a level of respect, in of itself, and I should be seen as insubordination and treated as such…
A level of respect to leadership is expected in ANY job.
Yeah, and you can add to that mix of developments another major Factor: Ukraine. Personally, I and likely many other Americans think that President Biden has done a worthy job in leading our contribution as the United States to defeat Putin’s aggression against a fledgling democracy, Ukraine. Their persevering resistance to repel this attack is inspiring to us who have been awakened recently to our own government’s fragility; the vulnerabilities of democracy itself – as a way of thinking how to improve the quality of a large system such as ours. It seems to always go back to The Problem of the Many and the One.
Msnbc working for the copperiosn and the government talking point.
I agree 100% with your assessment of President Biden & Ukraine and as a Canadian I say thank you & much respect It’s not only your Country Pres Biden is protecting its all Country’s of NATO & those who are independent ….. 🙂 Zoe
@Tesfay Kiros What is copperiosn? Talk English or google for a dictionary.
Please retire and do not seek re-election Biden
Waiting for Lindsay to deny this on fox in 5 4 3 2…..
Mitch is worse than a flat-out coward.
Keep playing the tapes.
#votebluetosavedemocracy
“Lindsey Graham Threatened Use Of The 25th Amendment On January 6th” so let’s #ConvinceItForward
These two so-called reporters were working for and paid a handsome salary by the New York Times when they came into possession of the McCarthy tapes months ago. But did they reveal the contents of those tapes then, when the information could have made a difference in the public’s perception about the work of the House’s January 6 Commission? No, they CHOSE to wait — presumably with the knowledge and consent of their editors — to do so until right before their book was published, thereby guaranteeing that the book would sell well and guaranteeing them a handsome profit from book sales.
IMHO, the NYT should fire these two reporters (and their bosses) because they worked on a private project on company time AND they utterly failed in their PRIMARY responsibility to tell the truth to the public in a timely manner about the people in power and hold the powerful to be accountable for their behavior. In the end, these two “reporters”⁹ are just glorified grifters who used their jobs to make money on future book sales.
And it was genuinely disgusting that Chucky boy didn’t ask these “reporters” why they didn’t reveal the contents of the McCarthy tapes right afterthey came into possessìon of the tapes and if they believe they utterly failed their responsibility to NYT readers and the genral public by keeping this information away from the public untìl it would guarantee bigger profits from the future sales of their book.
He definitely looked the other way when it came to the capital police.
THESE POLITICIANS ARE NOT FOR AMERICANS
WHATSOEVER
A
BUNCH OF CRIMINALS
NEEDING TO BE
ELIMINATED COMPLETELY
Republicans feed this monster for four years. Gave tRump to continue breaking our institutions……What did they think Trump would do?
Time overdue for Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell to head out to pasture. Spineless.
NBC’s new partnership with Australia’s ‘Sky News’, [Trump Lovers] which seems to be flying under the radar!!!
https://youtu.be/Z7X-LplRcMM
😂😂😂 he lost
Graham says one thing does another
From the atmosphere that Martin describes, it sounds as if all who were not part of the insurrection were passengers on a hijacked airline on 9/11.
In a way, that seems a close approximation. Except now, they have the chance to scourge and evict the hijackers. But instead, a bunch of them are gasping and waffling – as if ‘But for Grace, there go I’ was the reality.
Manchin and Sinema are unredeemable obstructionists who pretend they are open to negotiation.
Trump has serious dirt on Lindsey Graham. That is obvious. Probably has something to do with underaged boys.
The Republicans would love to see the country on life support so they can rise to positions of power.
Naw, then they’d squabble about who gets the biggest piece. Unless we get real representation with real spines, it’d turn into a dog fight with extraneous bears and other riffraff scavenging what’s left.
I’m sure he did let’s see the proof. lol Jan 6 is not going to turn out as planned. It’s gonna be a nuke blowing up in there face this time. All the baseless he said she said will not work once videos can no longer be keep from public. What there leaving out is all the cell phone videos u tube couldn’t take down fast enough showing busses of people being brought to capital to play in the hoax that’s all on capital videos. The people yelling over reporters it’s all fake there actors. And the best one Ashley Babette and John Epps. The minute Ashley Babette videos are reviewed by experts it will be un arguably it’s all fake and a bad job too. no blood no impact cloud no impact Jenkins reactions and no excuse for deadly force. judicial watch has already got videos showing capital police letting them in taking selfies with the people they all stayed in ropes and thought it was free tour with 2 hotdogs day. don’t believe that just go to court records of all the cases there dropping the ones they don’t drop are mainly trespassing cases. So once mid term stomping is over the the truth will come out and hopefully you guys don’t get abnesure again like last 9 times the media hype propgander on you and why do you think Obama e.o a law making it legal to propagandist America public with no legal consequences. why do you think Trump left it we are all being played bur we allow it so what does that say. Oh yeah what damage did capital building sustain on that dreadful day that will be remembered for ever that’s right pretty much nothing meaning some one released electronic locks to let people in they know exactly where and when locks where unlocked by capital police letting crowd in.lol ask for facts instead of baseless propgander by media.
Hold on here: the current VP felt disrespected when people didn’t stand up as she entered the room, but when Biden was VP, they did. Who is wrong, the VP, or the men who didn’t stand? I know the answer. Sauce for the goose, sauce… ):-{
Yes, These actual reporters saved and released this important info for full impact on the Jan 6th Coup!
Was a good call… In the state this country is in, definitely need to put ALL the info out there,
make a case, and let the DOJ finally do its JOB!!!
Hoping this’ll work. We NEED our country back. For PROGRESS not going backwards.
James Comey should be encouraged to run for presidency. He is a man of honor and integrity. I’m not sure America is ready for a female president yet.
@Dhamma Wiwekantara 🤣🤣🤣I disagree
Brutus, 😂😂 conservative 😭😭
Is it true that they kept the info quiet until their book was released? If so they should be questioned on it.
Biden can’t run again and Harris mustn’t even think about it. New blood. New fighters in the ring. But please, please not any of the weak assortment we had last time. The dems need to find some ferocious talent who are strong and can fight well.
lets not forget that the conservative death squads sent by trump to the Capitol Building had orders to murder as many members of Congress they could hunt down
I think we can also give some space to Biden putting together a good team and then letting them do their jobs. He is a manager with many irons in the fire. Didn’t foresee a recession? Oh my goodness. As if the “recession” is a local problem.
I think Biden knew that working to build a an historic coalition of world leaders to combat global challenges would be the most important thing he could do to prevent global problems like WAR, recession and the demise of a democratic, laws-based approach to governing.
He is doing a worthy job, as someone said, and has a global view of even domestic problems which some aren’t getting as they pursue their own self-oriented rise to power and influence. Domestically, in order to turn around the damage done to our system in the tRump years specifically, he was always going to need more time than one term and/or a more people-oriented representation in congress. He didn’t get that. What he did get was a sabotaged admin system, a narrow margin against the cynical and power-driven congressional membership that allowed tRump to exist, and an out of control covid epidemic. He managed to rein all of that in despite the corruption that runs rampant in the republican party at this time. He’s not done yet … he needs that next 4 years. And, he needs a better margin in the House and Senate.
He was ready when Putin decided to take his only shot at “taking” Ukraine. Biden was not daunted but inspired to actively engage others in a global response to the invasion that included action on a number of issues that needed attention even before the Feb24 invasion of World Peace.
I think he is doing a great job. He needs and deserves our support.
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one – if he (or she) had the power – would be justified in silencing mankind. – John Stuart Mill, philosopher and economist (1806-1873)
But the thing is Republicans don’t care 🤷🏾♀️….
Joe Manchin And Kyrsten Sinema Both Are Cowards Undercover Republicans !!!!!
Why were Graham and Burr in Taiwan on April16. Stirring up trouble for Biden in advance of the elections? When you fly into a country with fighter escort, does that say anything to China? Get these guys out of there before they screw everything up worse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P5lscUQv-Q
Rand Paul- The presidency belonged to Trump before his election loss. So it is ok for Trump and his political co-conspirators to attack the US capitol building in an attempt to take back what once belonged to Trump. It is also ok for the American Indians to attack the USA in an attempt to take back their rightful land. It is okay for Mexico to try and take back what was forcefully taken from them in the American Mexican war. It is alright for England to try and take back the American colonies that they lost. Yeah along with hang Doctor Fauci for doing his job without sucking up to Trump, Paul is a lunatic whose reasoning is beyond asinine. Kentucky needs to put this guy back in the horse barn sweeping up manure where he belongs, because he is spreading way too much of it on the Senate floor.
Stop peddling books. Goodbye.
Thank God for Liz Cheney I had some backbone in her
A journalists job is to inform the public in realtime. Not when their book is released. Here’s a follow-up, Chuck, for when these “reporters” pontificated about why BBB died bcuz, “Joe couldn’t find the votes”. You could have asked the obvious. Don’t u think that (also corporate owned) Joe, Nancy & Chuck forcing decoupling BBB from the infrastructure bill was precisely why Joe later couldn’t “find” the votes” Tons of corporate giveaways in the infrastructure bill but no so much in the BBB.
Trevor was so right that Chuck Todd’s interview skills are really garbage
Lindsay Graham is a Trumppet, a puppet on the strings held and controlled by a horrible human being, just like the rest of the lunatics that make up the GOP
You sheep still talking about Jan 6th the worse it gets the more they look like superheroes trying to save us from 9% inflation $7 gas war in Ukraine a border crisis & stagflation it’s an extra $7,000 per American to live under Biden yet you keep pushing how jan 6 was the worst thing ever 😂
January 6th will be an Open House day to the public.
It is coming , bigly.
The time is set and change is on the way.
American democracy is a joke that the world knows. Too bad the American laws do not apply equally to all Americans. No one is going to go out and stop the insurrectionists or the dirty elected officials. The world sees the American democracy as opaque where gerrymandering goes on, do anything to stop non-whites from voting, and now put officials in place to turn the election in favour of the Republicans. Democracy? No! A couple of steps above a banana republic. What the white population knows is in the year 2037/38 demographically whites will no longer be the majority of the population. Republicans know this and will do anything to stay in power.
Lindsey Graham was going to do the 25th Amendment why didn’t they just all go ahead and pull it they chose to wait and they chose not to
News media and democrats covered up Hunters laptop and election fraud 2020. We have the proof. Elections 2024 will go republican and we will prove it.
The Un-American and Traitor Senator from Kentucky, Moscow Mitch McConnell, is ready to back Trump because it is his duty as a Republican to do so! McConnell is keeping his oath to the political party over his oath to The Constitution and The American People! That makes him a Traitor! The Republican Party is now a Fascist Dictatorship! The Republican Party does not Protect, Preserve and Defend The Constitution Of The United States Of America or The American People! The Republican Party is now a Fascist Cult! An Un-American Cult that is busy passing legislation that weaken and endanger our Democracy and the American People!
Section 3 of the fourteenth amendment was created for people just like these.

Martin was in the Capitol with Congress on J6. What will Trump’s cronies like Jordan, Cruz, Greene, Gaetz and more claim now? That Martin was in the bathroom showering during the whole mob attack that day?
