#Trump #Tennessee #MTP
Why are we still allowing partisan gerrymandering to continue. Every ten years we turn a blind eye as the rural minority portion of ideologues carve out a disproportionate share of representation. It’s madness.
Chuck Todd has Trump Derangement Syndrome and is a Democrat Lap Dog. He has no integrity, so he shouldn’t be judging others.
Chuck I never really did like you, but at least you used to be honest, now your just too far gone not sure who owns you but you gave up honesty and integrity for money.
MAGA Chuck, these evil people are your people.
Reich wing Nazis are doing everything to take individual rights away
There is no going back for them folks, hope someone’s taking names. By the way, this is not going to stop the greatest transformation of a nation (cause of technological innovations) the World has ever seen. USA #1
👍.I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it.
@Terry Pasca
check the web and you will find him, drop a msg
@Terry Pasca I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again
So delighted seeing my broker talked about, This was exactly how I got recommendation about Nick Dranchak , At First I was a bit skeptical but eventually I gave him a trail with my little investment and I got huge profit.
@To people Be nice Ok, just found his website, impressive, Thank you
Luca Gheorghe, spam bot 😉
A few loud mouths doesn’t make a divide Todd. Though people like you are trying extremely hard to make it so.
The amount of “loud mouths” is inconsequential to the actual divide that currently exists. I think your vitriol is wholly misplaced.
The antiquated mindset republicans continue to demonstrate they are incapable of deriving solutions for today’s problems.
I believe the enthusiasm of the trump base has enticed them into pandering to a disproportionately loud minority faction.
The GOP is looking really stupid as of late. The American voters are showing that to be fact.
Another rogue judge exceeding his authority.
Perhaps. But how?
He claimed the FDA “exceeded its authority” in approving mifepristone, saying the agency used an accelerated approval process meant for drugs intended to treat “life-threatening diseases” and because the drug does not provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit” for patients. The latter is manifest nonsense. The former, while it might possibly have been the case 23 years ago, is most certainly no longer the case, as a result of 20+ years of further study. This is a sloppy, contrived argument cobbled together to produce his desired religiously-motivated conclusion.
@Combat Epistemologist Well done. Thank you for providing a thoughtful and substantive response.
Yea republicans are scum
Absurdly broad divisive rhetoric doesn’t advance the conversation.
And spineless corporate media hacks like Todd have destroyed journalism.
And what is your substantiation for that statement?
@samuel mcmillin
Okay fanboy…..
Name one insight the halfwit Todd has offered in his career.
There’s not one…he simply repeats what’s on every other infotainment broadcast.
My favorite quote was his “its not my job to call out republicans for their lies”…..
I really hope you’re just some young dumb kid…..
A judge cannot change an FDA approval but can stop distribution. Any Court Order deeming itself able to change a determination of safety and medical effectiveness of a Drug that passed through the Federally mandated process is deluded and that Opinion must be overturned. To stop distribution of a drug would be by individual state action as it relates to that state’s law. There is no Federal Abortion Law, even if there was, it couldn’t change the FDA approval conclusions re: it’s safety and effectiveness. It could only be done if the Court ruled, based expert testimony, there was a flaw in the testing and it effected the conclusion, which the Texas Court didn’t. In addition, that wasn’t the issue before the Court. What this really underlines is the craziness of the Right trying to force the rest of the world back into the dark with them. It’s way too late to try and trick us back. While some of us were born in the light, others escaped that darkness and, in seeing the daylight, vow never to live in darkness again. Ultimately, change will happen regardless of who or what is trying to stop it.
Whatever else went on in the whacked-out case, the judge, if he had an ethical bone in his body, should never have accepted the case because he worked in the antiabortion community in the years prior to his appointment to the bench. Every detail of the plaintiff’s case was contrived as was the judge’s ruling.
The collapse of the American empire. A cult leader now reigns.
Fundraising for Ron DeSantis for GOP nomination for president must go on. British, African Americans and Jews for DeSantis.
Dream on nut job 😅
… and especially nazis and fascists.
Your show should be called Meet The Lies, and not meet the press. Chuck Todd is a political hack. He doesn’t even know what being a true honest journalist is…
Republicans stand for anti-freedom.
No chuck the reason more democrats don’t vote in Tennessee is because the national democrats are to far left. If you put up someone like Clinton and Gore again it would go blue. I’m so tired of lefties whining about gerrymandering when they do it in blue states. What a joke? The fact is the black/white people who live don’t like all the weird crap the democrats and republicans are pushing anymore. And even regardless of color people around here are moderate. So that’s why Biden didn’t do good here. People don’t want to vote for an elitist POS who talks down to regular people and acts like we all want handouts. A Clinton/Gore knew how to talk to people respectfully and didn’t talk down to them.
Is that why y’all voted for trump? Because That man knows how to talk respectfully and listen to peoples concerns……🤣😂 gtfoh! He isn’t no better!
The greatest danger to American Democracy is the new, Authoritarian, anti Democracy GQP. Beating them has now become a matter of survival, not just of our Democracy but for any individuals they might label as ” The Other”. For example and just for starters, Women with Ectopic Pregnancies’ who the GQP are willing to MURDER to please their evil, insane base.
It saddens me to see the mental health of the left wing in American politics.
The “left wing” is equally saddened by your cognition…
@samuel mcmillin I’m independent voter and like many millions like me see a wolf in sheep’s clothing with the democratic party
@Jeff Schneider We’re all independent voters. The vast majority of votes cast for Democratic candidates are cast by self described independent’s. You’re entitled to your aversions as you see fit. But making blanket statements, such as you did, rightfully opens you up to justifiable ridicule.
@samuel mcmillin riddle me this joker. Do you really think it’s ok cut and tuck a man and call it a women
We are slowly being irreparably harmed by the Trump supporters in this country who are rabid anti democracy and pro white supremacists
They are dividing us by passing these really far right wing laws and the Trump appointed judges are making extremist right wing rulings.
The expulsion of the two black members of the Tennessee legislature is another sign of the attempt by the right to destroy any dissent.
Trump and his supporters are trying to destroy this country.
Democrats are center right and republicans are far right. That’s Americas problem. We have no left movement in America. No balance.
Facts. Bernie Sanders is as close to left as we have. And we all saw how his campaign turned out.
Chuck Todd is a hack
Another day another day where all Republicans bad, all democrats good. 🙄
We would all love to hear a positive story about a Republican legislator. They only need do something, anything, worthy of such a story.
@samuel mcmillin Tell me something positive about a democrat legislator? I guess you see no problem with a porous southern border, sky high fuel and grocery prices, an unending war in Ukraine and disgusting homelessness, crime and drug abuse in democrat run American cities. But I get it…all Republicans bad, all democrats good. 🙄
No, Chuck. You and your colleagues are dividing this country with your race baiting. In Tennessee that congressman tried to pull a mutiny by using a bull horn on the house floor to hype up the angry mob. I’m so sick of this manipulation by the media. The Left actually believe whatever they do is justified. If it was Republicans in Tennessee doing that sht, you and your colleagues would be screaming insurrection.
@samuel mcmillin This is what Democrats always do. They try to twist the facts to justify their behavior. What they did was extremely wrong. They didn’t respect democracy whatsoever so they used the tools of intimidation to get their bill passed.
@T Fox Limited access to the floor is and has always been permitted in Tennessee during recess periods. Again, no one “burst in” anywhere.
@samuel mcmillin LoL.
@T Fox It’s funny how they were both reinstated immediately by there districts isn’t it.
@samuel mcmillin Not really. They’ll pull the same BS when another bill they want gets voted down. They don’t have the temperament to be a congressman.
President Joe will lose Nevada Texas Florida Arizona Ohio Iowa New Hampshire and maybe Vermont because independents and Hispanics voters don’t like President Joe Biden and the older blacks voters not going to help president Joe this time because Hispanic voters and independents and 49 percent of the youth voters are changing from Democrats to Republican party and Senator Brown is in crisis because he back Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020 and the voters are upset about that now because they could have had Medicare for all with senator Bernie Sanders
Sentence structure? Grammar? For god’s sake a single period?
My Cancer Journey vermonters go to Canada for cheaper drugs and they are made in America and Mexico has cheaper drugs and they are made in America and I heard President Joe is going to kicked off 13 million Americans off the health care like the Mayor in New York is doing I hope uncle Joe doesn’t but I don’t know yet and senator Bernie Sanders is respect and popular in European countries and some African countries and some middle eastern countries and Australia countries that are fighting for the unions and the nurses in Vermont are now in a union but the union station in Vermont tell vermonters to not trust the union bosses and both parties are corrupt criminals organization like the mafia because Americans would have nice things if they would corrupt just like the corrupt corporate media outlets are
There’s Fascism in America, Folks. Vote while you still can!
Republicans are just not only showing lack of respect for their constituents but digging a hole for themselves and trying to take the country with them
God hates Popes!
One locked away & one in a wheelchair.
They are supposed to be “rocks” of the Church; yet they crumble.
I agree that it would be difficulty to sit idly by while your Tennessee schools get butchered to minced meat pie.
They led a insurrection and she didn’t participate to the extent the two young men did. It’s the rules and you know no one is above the law or that’s what I’ve heard on here.
Rules and laws are two different things. Try again 😅.
Found the racist.
@Radagast Brown take the punishment that applies to the rule that was broken. Be a man and own your behavior
Happy Easter to everyone who believes Jesus rose from the grave like a zombie.
Thank you ❤
“It has served us well, this myth of Christ.” Pope Leo X /s
Haha funny. Jesus truly is. A sun reference. Dies on the southern cross and resurrects, walks on water, most high, born of a virgin, Virgo constellation. But I like the zombie reference.
Not gonna lie – would totally watch a zombie Jesus sitcom.
You know what corrodes out instituions.
A trans zealot killing catholics and thr gvt not condemning it as a hate crime
Cuckload Todd😂😂😂
appears to be an
interesting informative
video. did anyone watch it ?
Petophile pope
NBS/UpChuck Todd are paid liars for the democrat/communist party!
Racism is not new no4r will it stop. What has happened is people have found ways around All discrimination in order to be seen heard and responded to. Whether you are a woman overweight disabled minority young poor disenfranchised homeless marginalized hidden uneducated or foreign.
The Republicans are going full-blast; they know what’s coming in ’24; the handwriting is on the wall.
Trump has legal troubles? That’s great propaganda Commie news…
Institutions aren’t being corroded but rather strengthened, thankfully states are standing up for state’s rights, we do not live in a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic…!!!
State rights are part of the Dixiecrat ways!🤔
@Avi Shevin…10th Amendment…!
@Colin Davis
Thanks for proving that, like almost every single conservative out there, you haven’t bothered to read it.
@Avi Shevin…Truth hurts, I know…!
@Colin Davis
I assume you still haven’t read it, unless you’re a masochist.
The only division is what the media brings by completely gaslighting situations with bs lies.
MAGA 🎉❤❤🙏🤠💯👍
No one cares
Meet the fake news
Our “institutions” are filled with corrupt traitorous vermin, guilty of death penalty level crimes, involved in treason, sedition, child trafficking, pedophilia, corruption, money laundering, crimes against humanity and more. We the people are about to bring this BS to a screeching halt. Nothing can stop what is coming.
republicans hate democracy almost as much as they hate black people.
Quiet Upchuck Todd, your ignorance is showing.
Democrats conniving with the corrupt media, seek to create as many dividing factors as possible in order to achieve an advantage in elections. Democrats have an entire web of deceit in the corrupt media. They spew lies faster than a forest fire spreads.
Chuck Todd is a fool…
Not once did he mention the corrupt Biden family.
The 2 Tennesee lawmakers were voted out because their behavior was different than the one that was not voted out. Someone is withholding the details-as usual.
Sure. Because the rules are setup that they are not allowed to talk during session.
If the right continues to push taking away medical care for woman, they their little “blue” pill needs to go as well. Say “NO” to erections.
Chuck Todd (and NBC) widening the divide in America.
More appropriate headline.
2:36 Fake Todd. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! The woman wasn’t removed because she was white. She didn’t blast bullhorns like the other two did. STOP cherry picking and report the news you HACK!
Hey potato, she herself confirms it.
Most Texans are liberal. A minority of the rural citizens have a stranglehold on power but those people are also very old and they won’t be around much longer, then Texas will be a secure blue state.
“Most Texans are liberal.” Their voting surely doesn’t reflect that.
@krnpowr if you understand how the US electoral system works you can also see how that could be the case.
@Veronica Maine no you can’t. That doesn’t explain how democrats got trounced in senatorial, gubernatorial, and presidential races
The Liberal Media is one of our biggest problems , always dividing pushing extreme agendas pouring gasoline on fires and just plain lying to the American people.
The only way to save this country is to divide in two
There’s not a big divide. You just wish there was!
@1:58 Sorry Chuck Todd, but the SCOTUS has been shown to be a complete and utter joke, compromised across the entire Reich Wing majority on the Kavanaugh Kangaroo Kourt. For any of them to weigh in on any matters concerning abortion is a waste of time and any decision will be one that nobody should have to follow since the SCOTUS has been rendered a scam.
Stuff doesn’t go you’re way this is how you handle it crying 😢 msm is the real enemy
WE NEED GOOD LEADERS TO LEAD!!!!
WE NEED UNSELFISH, HONEST, CIVIC MINDED, BOLD, DEMOCRACY FOCUSED LEADERS, ALL ACROSS AMERICA, TO UNITE, TO STAND UP & ORGANIZE THE PEOPLE, “THE MAJORITY”, FOR ACTION TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY FROM THE GREED & POWER DRIVEN, SELFISH, LYING, BIGOTED LEADERS WHO WANT AUTHORITARIANISM TO RULE IN AMERICA!!!!
Thanks to the 3 Tennessee law makers & governor Newsom for being faithful in duty; we need more leaders to answer the HONORABLE CALL! We need Democratic leaders to help unite reasonable, well-meaning, fair-minded, unselfish, people loving humans; we need civil rights for ALL leaders to PLEASE STAND UP, ORGANIZE & call the civil rights for ALL MINDED citizens to PLEASE STAND UP & TAKE ACTION!!!!
WE NEED GOOD LEADERS TO LEAD!!!!
LEAD DAMNIT🤬
Democratic leaders must BOLDLY, UNRELENTINGLY LEAD, ORGANIZE THE DEMOCRACY LOVING MAJORITY & HELP US TO UNITE IN COLLECTIVE TRUTH, FOR CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL WITH CLEAR MINDED, HONORABLE PURPOSE!!!!
🇺🇸
All this GOP insanity continues to happen because good people remain silent or they talk good & do NOTHING!
WE NEED GOOD LEADER, ORGANIZERS TO ORGANIZE THE SILENT MAJORITY TO STOP THE GOP INSANITY & STOP THE REPUBLICAN CRIME SYNDICATE ONCE & FOR ALL FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY & FOR OUR COLLECTIVE WELL-BEING! BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! WE NEED HONEST LEADERS WHO WILL SPEAK TRUTH & LET US KNOW WE’VE LET THESE WEALTHY CRIMINALS & RELIGIOUS BIGOTS CONTROL US; WE NEED OUR DEMOCRACY LOVING LEADERS TO CALL US TO SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO MAKE THE POWERS THAT BE BOW TO THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY. WE THE PEOPLE, WE THE MAJORITY NEED TO RECOGNIZE OUR COLLECTIVE POWER TO DO GOOD FOR EQUAL LAW & JUSTICE, EQUAL RIGHTS, FOR THE SAFETY & GOOD HEALTHY OF ALL AMERICANS, NOT JUST THE FEW WEALTHY, PEOPLE IN POWERFUL POSITIONS & PEOPLE WHO ARE WHITE & OF A CERTAIN RELIGION! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Please do not imply that both sides are right or wrong. The MAGA crowd, aka the current GOP, aka the currrent solid no-longer- fringe right wing is a trerrorist institution.
Get rid of Austin , Dallas and Houston. Im independent and tired of the weirdos!
You forgot Tricia Cotham becoming the next George Santos level of LIAR to her Voters..! Absolutely DISGUSTING..!
VOTE BLUE 💙
America looks like a place full of crazy people! How can the “most democratic” country on the planet have districts so badly gerrymandered that elections are a joke!! Worse than friggen RUSSIA!!!!
Right now the prominent problems in the US is Rich corporations have bought and paid for politicians in their pockets to make the laws to benefit them. It’s much cheaper to just buy your local congressperson rather than spend money on taking care of your employees. Yet most Republicans only vote party against their own self-interests. Democrats can’t come together as a group to get anything done. How Donald Trump was allowed to elect so many maga judges I don’t know but there needs to be a way to clean out the Supreme Court starting with the corrupt pervert Thomas
The pill works by making the uterus inhospitable to the fertilized egg. It doesn’t implant and usually never gets started. To me these are not even abortions.
I am sick and tired of the “hair on fire” complaining about the politics in America. Did you only recently wake up to the world around you?
Trump did not instill this ideology in America; he merely tapped into the under-represented base of the Republican party that has been present since the 60s when the Southern Democrats defected to the Republican party because of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It seems America is deluding itself about its own moral supremacy by ignoring the presence of this bigoted and evil element in our society. Now that they have disguarded their facade of decency, we are plainly seeing what they have always stood for. It is difficult for this generation(s) to deal with, but it is because we did not want to address it before. These disgusting ideologies have gained power and are trying to reverse the progress it has taken decades to achieve. Now, since they are engaged in a full assault on American values, it is hoped that people will stop bemoaning the task, take action to remove the political mechanisms that they have taken advantage of and rid our society of their influence.
As a Texan, I’m discussed with our Republican Party & Republican Government. We keep moving backwards in time.
The citizen who still hasn’t understood where the bad breath of anti-democracy blows, the enemy of the United States of America. And, his allies of democracy in the world. It’s like being, the person who sits on a red barrel of gunpowder while smoking a pee.
What happened in Tennessee was an ” INSURRECTION!” Call it what it was, same as you called Jan6 an insurrection. Quit double talking, to push your corrupting Lies.
You agree that January 6th is an insurrection ?
So you’re saying trump incited an insurrection. Careful, you’ll have your MAGA nut job card taken away. 😂😂😂😂
NBC and Meet the Press are corroding institutions.
Zero evidence. You tried though.
What corrodes is the absence and unwillingness to be accountable, for the corrosive political corruption and the BIG LIE. Look, Dominion $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.
@Bucky Goldstein zero evidence? Countless hours of video isn’t evidence? The network is on 24/7. MTP has been on for decades. Compare Todd’s version to past versions. Todd is a joke. He is hyper partisan and lies. He looks like he’s broken inside when a guest pushes back. Zero evidence? LOL…YOU tried. And failed.
So NBC’s take is that it’s all the Republicans fault. Gotcha.
No lies detected.
Democrats are wrecking our institutions. When they cheat that’s not corroding our institutions.
Zero evidence. Thanks for playing, fascist.
Chuck Todd AKA rat face won’t tell you the judge in this case his daughter work for Kamala Harris and now she’s on the payroll of the re-elect biden-harris team. No conflict of interest right?
What about the OUT OF CONTROL black crime?
Conservatives have become convinced that the falling US birthrate will lead to an economic contraction. Don’t take my word for it, there have been studies from conservative think tanks and opeds in the National Review.
This has turned to fight against women’s rights from an ideological red herring to keep voter blocks in line into a headlong assault on those rights.
The Democrats are EVIL!!! We The People will no longer tolerate their Corruption.
NBC corrodes our institutions .
The 7th Appeals Court has been corrupted. We The People must burn this corruption out of our nation.
Chuck is an activist, not a journalist
Lmao, dense folk like you are why the barn-born wildcats made it farther than the Jayhawks this year 😂
Keep telling yourself
Wow!
WI, TN, and TX corrode our institutions, but evidently Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and every other city that the left had rioted, looted, and burned buildings in during their “summer of love” did not.
That’s nice. Show the head of the largest pedophile group on earth riding in his pedomobile lol.
‘What This President Is Doing To The United States Is Irreversibly Bad’: GOP Senator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ganSxDWAz1M
Chuck, stop trying to pretend you’re a journalist. Once people see you’re state media, everything comin out your mouth starts making sense.
Maybe “chuck” can stop promoting the two party system. It is a huge problem.
This judge is a moron. This drug is now taken from those who need it as a treatment for Cushing syndrome. Judges should not be making medical decisions. Period. If they want to do that they should go train to be a doctor.
It’s puzzling that those who wants to protect Americans get expelled
Can you imagine the Supreme Court getting involved in this because they created this situation in the first place. Remember they decided States should decide not the federal gov.
Gawd’ help us all!
Unexpected great summary and follow through on true threats to our Democracy… no false equivalency here …. 🦅
The Fascists amongst us persist. Autocracy umm. DJT toxicity is now pervasive thru out the Fascist Leadership. Rather tainted and DJT has green lighted knee jerk “Punch ‘em in the face” rather then debate the merits of your due diligence. No class/dignity for his Presidency has brought to this shameful circumstance. While consumed in service to TRUMPTY, the Fascists among us are failing their Oath of Office daily. Are their no remedies for this conduct. The Fascists amongst us are feeding off TRUMPTY’S hate filled rants. Just as Hitler taught him, tell the lie lie three times, and it will become the truth for some. Autocracy equals the loss of all personal freedom’s. Americans will not like oppression. The Cult, DJT Will at a point will dump you like all intimates in his psychopathic existence. He demands loyalty, and yet has to reciprocate when it is Go Time. Kicked to the Curb. You gotta backup?
Chuck Todd is a liberal leftist propagandist!
The GOP think a stem cell is a “livin’ humming be’ang” Thats Red state slang and think it can chew backer and collect welfare and vote Republican. When I lived in Georgia back in the late 1999’s, the GOP legislature wanted to outlaw all stem cell research..LOL. Every Bio-Science company started a mass exodus from Atlanta until Barnes, Governor (D) vetoed the bill.
