“Wow what a weekend!” Yep, that sums it up.
The only back up for an increasingly dim Biden is Kamala Harris, the most incompetent VP since Dan Quayle…yet no one mentions it.
Republicans only wanna spend money on themselves! Also they lack in forward thinking! Tooo stuck in the moment! Rep ruin our country, Dems come in and fix everything!
Respect for Rep Don Bacon who spoke the truth on so many levels.
Rep should run this guy! He’s got pride class dignity smarts and logic!
Chuck asks guests a question but you can tell that he can’t wait to ask another as soon as they answer.
Don’t you want an interviewer who asks questions?
His job is to ask questions.
Don Bacon needs to say these things on Fox News.
He’d be eaten alive by The Five.
I love that Blinken refused to play the speculation game with Chuck Todd. Of course Todd continued with the annoying speculative questions with the next guest.
I didn’t. Blinken doesn’t answer about 75% of the questions he’s asked and it’s downright annoying. What a useless guest.
You wouldn’t feel better if the Secretary of State was willing to spill state secrets on national TV. Blinken is doing his job.
I can’t believe that Blinken said that “where ever Wagner goes death and destruction follows” the same can be said about America but the U.S is worse in my opinion.
Said from the comfort of an American suburb I presume.
Nope, I’m a citizen of the world who pays attention to what happens in it n I wouldn’t live in the U.S even if i was paid to 😂
@tim hogan fair enough
Smells fishy. Maybe setting up a major strike out of Belarus.
Kinda like false flag setting up a deniable major strike or something worse being blamed on Wagner hitting Ukraine without mercy.
Strike could even be decapitation of Ukrainian leaders and leveling Kiev.
Provides Putin deniability for any involvement in any brutality against civilians.
BLINKIN IS PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE MINDED AND DOWN RIGHT INCOMPETENT.
This is really nuts. Blinky and Chuck are 2 peas in a pod!
Who does that guy think he is ? Abe Lincoln ?
Golly Chuck that hairline my gosh
Many republicans are scared by Putin like they do Trump and worship him too.
Clever that a Trump commercial comes on during a Trump soundbite on MTP. It’s no coincidence.
Putin will have this “chef” killed. So many ways to do it.
Is Plekta back on her meds or off the booze? She shockingly appeared to be somewhat coherent.
Voters are aware of the Biden’s corruption but it seems Chuckles remains obtuse. No wonder he is going the way of the dodo.
MERCENARY CHIEF. IS A MERCENARY. AVAILABLE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
Be honest ,Be trustful, Honesty is the best Policy. WE SHOULD NOT PLAY POLITICS IF WE HAVE A CONCERN FOR WELFARE OF THE GENERAL CITIZEN Because Politic is the Dirtiest Game.
RUSSIA GETS 40-MILLION USD; THEY WON’T TELL YOU: PENTGON SUDDENLY MISSING 60-MILLION, AND MR PUTIN FOUND; $50-IOOION OF IT. IN THE NERCENARY’S VAN
PUTIN FOUND HIS VERSION OF TRUMP IN AMERICA AND LOOKS FORWARDS TO DOING WHAT AMERICA CAN NOT DO SO WATCH AMERICA AND LEARN THE LESSON FOR TREASON AS RUSSIA RULES APPLY CHECK MATE AS CONTINUED IN THE CHECKMATE FILES
That’s Dictators wanna be…talk!!!🤗
Republicans like Putin…
Bacon critical of Trump. Trump wont like Bacon anymore.
Chuck Todd is a sick foolish propagandist and he needs detained.
THIS WILL MAKE PUTIN MORE STRONGER RUSSIA MORE DANGEROUS
PUTIN’S EXCUSE– IF GEORGE BUSH DID I5 TO IRAQ, I CAN DO IT TO
Ukraine.
USA – TAKE THE LOG OUT OF YOUR OWN EYE, first
Another historic week for sure, thank you team.
Putin has lost many oligarchs, thousands of men lost in Ukraine plus those that left the country, Russian people suffering because of Putin and lowered standard of living. Putin is losing it.
Yeah
You American ma’am?
No more Wagner, no more reason to accuse African countries of using Wagner to « k… the b… » of French militaries from Africa!
African people want indépendance, and welcome the BRICS!
Make no mistake it’s God’s land
I find it so very interesting that Bide’sn mental faculties are questioned, but Trump is given a pass? Come on, anyone working with the mentally disturbed recognizes Trump left reality years ago….Well what do you expect from those that would drink the KoolAid WOW, so very sad!
Fake news spokesman!! Always Todd’s way
I wish he would invite Hannity or Carlson… true news… Trump would be a excellent guest…….
The US should have looked to normalize relationships with Cuba a long time ago. We built a relationship with Vietnam we could with Cuba.
We were rebuilding a relationship with Cuba under Obama. Then the pumpkin headed grifter dismantled it. If politics in Florida can improve a bit, Biden might give it another try late in his second term? After 2026. We know that Florida needs a new governor, so maybe change could come. 🗽
The last second desperation attempts by liberals to erase Donald Trump are being seen by the American people for what they are.
Trump will fire Chuck!!!! 😆
It is hilarious to me that the conservative leaning Danielle Pletka is demanding what our Russian policy is when the leader of her party writes love letters to Putin.
Putin waited for Democrat Obama to invade Crimea and Democrat Biden to invade Ukraine. He did not dare with Trump.
❤❤hi lm from san Felipe in the puerto plata Dominica república 🇩🇴☕
hahaha……I thought Chuck Todd got fired?…..I mean “resigned”🤣.
President Putin crushed the movement and your man are war mongers and President Joe and Trump needs a teleprompter but Sanders doesn’t need a teleprompter like Trump Biden and Sanders is more popular in European countries and Latin America countries and some African countries and President Joe is losing Hispanic voters and independents and the youth voters all Sanders supporters strength and corrupt corporate media outlets never cover senator Bernie Sanders but cover up for President Joe and his administration and I’m a leftist and Republican are trying to impeach Biden and some of his administration
We need new faces on the panel, please. Thousands of qualified journalists in the country and we get the same few people week after week. NBC you can do better, bring in people from outside the beltway
Good riddance, Chuck Todd. I hope your producers move on with you.
You ask and repeat some of the stupidest questions, even your guests roll their eyes at you from time to time. What a waste of airtime.
This show went south soon after Big Tim passed. It truly hope it rises to that level of prominence again… looking forward to Autumn.
So now he is in Belarus recruiting in Africa 🌍
Wow!!! Nothing about Hunter’s sweetheart prosecution deal or damming documents by an IRS insider on the dirty Biden family pay to play business where Hunter states he’s waiting with “my father” for an answer right now from a Chinese business partner…. Pathetic NBC! One of the biggest corruption stories of all time and you are all silent🤫 Corporate media is a sinking ship🚢 Boo!!!👎 Makes Watergate look like child’s play by comparison. What are “you”, the FBI and The Justice Dept all afraid of??? It’s OK. Just let the proverbial kettle continue to boil. Nothing to see here folks 👀
We could make a new Minsk agreement putins mercenary guy there now
Should Chuck Todd’s new name be disingenuous? Yes, five weeks in the descriptions of Meet the Press episodes, Biden’s name has not come up once. They are hiding him and living with a story about Russia, but he will go down with the rest, and I would venture to say he’s not really a journalist
Bacon doesn’t realize that GOP primary voters love Putin and dictators, and want Trump to be a dictator here
Belarus will turn on Wagner in a heartbeat. It is a trap.
lost respect for Bacon on why Republicans don’t see it your way on documents and the Law, he dodged the whole ?, and chuck let him off.
Four Soy Boys, including Klobu.
Charles and Comb Fork sounded like two cycle sisters having lunch.
Mauri moto grapes
Mauri Moto cattle
Chuckie sounded like he was auditioning for the Bachelorette with each guest. It’s hard to understand why he wants China to rule the world. Everything he says empowers our enemies.
How much more of Ukraine people must die for Biden and the president of Ukraine aka movie star egos and absolute stupidity, how long are you going to egg on Ukraine to go die so that the u.s weapons industry can make money. when Ukraine orders a nuclear submarine or missile ?. Evil beget evil and God don’t sleep remember that u.s.a
Reality is a ressision that could go into a stagflation .
When is Chuck done with MTP? Can’t come soon enough
Chuck, your poll tells us that 74% of voters believe the country is on the “wrong track.” I wonder how many of those are disgusted with the Supreme Court, disgusted with the proliferation of firearms, disgusted with book banning, disgusted with manifestations of racism, disgusted with government intervention in women’s health care, disgusted with the clown show which is the House of Representatives, disgusted that nothing is being done to address immigration reform, and so on. I don’t know if it’s you or one of your producers, but someone at NBC News has got “pollitis.”
TRUMP’S “WALL”? (It’s a S I N. Reverend, Rabbi—> ISAIAH 30:13 + –25:12– & EZEKIEL 13:10-15). PS: Next time tell the joker to read the same BIBLE he had his lttle hand on when he was sworn in! Also tell him to quit slamming Muslims and Asians (that violates “constitutional rights of citizens). And he needs to understand that there’s N O L I G H T in the “Day of the LORD”–nor is there any DARKNESS IN GOD —-> JOHN 3:19 + 1st JOHN 1:5 + JEREMIAH 2:31 & ISAIAH 45:19 “I Never spoke in SECRET, from some LAND OF DARKNESS”. There you go sir— THE TRUTH that seems to have eluded you and you rabid followers in the RED CAPS!
Bad form Peter!
Trillions of dollars of bail outs to corporations through COVID while I am an ICU nurse. PPP forgiveness left and right to every business under the sun and CONGRESS people, such as, @realmarjoriegreene over $180,000 PPP loans forgiven, @mattgaetzfl over $450,000 PPP loans forgiven, @kanyewest over 2.5 million PPP loans forgiven and I can go on; yet not a word from congress! Not a word from the media and government, even when people were stealing these loans. Now, @potus is backing the uninsured in failing banks….awesome 👌. But I’m sitting over here crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath for a Supreme Court decision for only $10, 000 in student loan debt when I was doing everything right. Take away Mohela contacts! Can Harlan Crow pay my tuition also?
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito, Jr. took a fishing trip with a billionaire Paul Singer who has donated to — and serves as chairman for — a group that asked the Supreme Court to block student-loan forgiveness.
Putin looked Weak like Biden did with Afghanistan. …..
House Representative, 30-year military veteran: *hundreds of PIECES of classified information
I thought Chuck retired and passed the torch?
Chuck: *more harsh/harsher
The mutiny within the waring Russian military and the terrorists Wagner that have been recruited on behalf of Putin is a positive sign for Ukraine but is dangerously negative if a civil war happens , there is the possibility of pressing the nuke button.
Did Chuck Todd returned to work. Meet the press requires the intlect of Todd. I am very appreciative if Todd is kept to be in charge of meet the press.
We would like Chuck Todd tostay in meet the press
❤
Since Hunter used a what’s app where the ip was indeed coming from the White house, we can say when Kirby, Blinken, Kamala or Joe himself claim Hunter did nothing wrong and there is no involvement of the prosedent we know that is a lie. Hunter wrote using a White House IP “I will make certain that between the man sitting next me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction,” Hunter warns.
Will the news ever get it together is it always going to be some narrative for the left-wing
Left-wing narrative news people are smarter than this news
Did you mean ” Meet the Criminals”?
… looks like another IMPLOSION in Putin’s Russia… immediately after the disastrous Titanic sub implosion!…predictable or chance!
… Russia’s debacle in Cuba after Khrushchev’s blinked when challenged by JFK… and now China is in Cuba… testing America’s resolve… NIMBY … Not in my backyard scenario once again!
Crazy eye McFaul lol. Guy thinks Putin’s been living under his bed for decades.
This country is most definitely on the right path. Just stay the course, put trump and the fascists away finish them off and keep on truckin.
The Biden crime Family is working with the Chinese.
Biden 🥰
Chuck could not handle having Trump, McCarthy, Desantis on as guests. He’s a one note piano.
A well known CIA liaison climbed the ranks and is now elevated to Secretary of State. What has happened ever since this “liaison” attained this stature?
Therein maybe some answers.
Okay.
Yes.
Alright look; I say.
Have you seen and heard of world power? You know what a democracy is. You know what a monarchy is.
A world power exists at the same time as being a monarchy. Actually there does exist more than just one or two of these omnipotent monarchies!
Democracy is not intended as an implement of state vandalism. A monarchy, while it might not be a democracy; is certainly a State unto itself. So Democracy and State Vandalism; sound familiar?
My tristate will do this country a solid good turn.
“Are we talking about Russia? Or China..”
From a year 2012 Military Soldier off duty He shuts to Police officers 👮♀️ they don’t have guns
Rumor:
Bush shot Cheney because Cheney made an outlandish claim . Pertaining to metaphysical metamorphosis and the development of superhuman powers obtained through the outlet of technology absorption.
Call yourself a dragon in front of the Bush family and get shot in the face for your troubles.
In school district libraries they had pollution books they had several years can you ban them please
And book stores
Today on this isn’t really happening military industrial complex television 📺 some stuff we want you to think is happening. Please avoid vaccines anyway you can
Good job Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Danielle Pletka, how do you not know what the Biden administration wants from Russia? Have you not been listening? They want Putin and the Russian military to pull out of Ukraine and end this senseless war. The Biden administration, as well as many nations around the world have been supporting Ukraine in order to expedite an end.
wake up, get the internet. dont listen to fake new, Jesus.
Amy Klobuchar is brilliant!!
The thought terminating cliche “Moment of Weakness” reeks of ignorant propaganda. Please, be less obvious.
I thought we were done with yellow journalism chuck todd.
What happen for Joe Biden Meets Justin Trudeau? pl comment ok
Chuck: you are absolutely good in what you do!!! Keep it up, my friend. jtsdrd
Chuck,no.1
What can be said, about the the American people’s value.
The poll numbers is a good example, of a society that’s totally BROKEN.
It’s sad, and SHAMEFUL to see Americans– lacking the appreciation for our America Democracy!!!
Voters are simply ignorant, disingenuous, or fickle, or all of the above. Make a person with a lack of intellect feel good, they’ll support whomever
