#Trump #Biden #MikeJohnson
I’m absolutely thrilled that Mike Johnson grew a “pair”!! Never did this Liberal Democrat ever think she’d be posting positive comments about the Speaker of the House. But Mike is realizing that it’s our “1939 Moment”. He’ll be on the right side of history. #ILikeMike
Not so fast... He back pedaled a bit... He's included the republiKKKan, HR 2, immigration bill... Although, I think he added it separately...
Fluff praise way too early. He is a revolving door of anomaly.
I enjoyed your bright appraisal of the situation. I hope you understand the ""Money grows on trees algorithm"" was created by Democrats. If the costs of your common household goods have increased substantially, it's caused by Democrat induced inflation. How do you vote? Do you study issues independently or do you vote emotionally because you were told to vote some way? Hillary Clinton created the Donald Trump Russia scandal and sold it to the world. Why do you still vote Democrat? Do you want to be a corrupt monster like Hillary Clinton when you grow up?
Come on Johnson, go for it and pass the border bill also. Just send the whole Senate bill through. Your legacy will become honorable. Yes do the most honorable thing.
The House passed a border bill months ago that President Trump was fully behind. In it was an end to catch and release and a return to the remain in Mexico policy. Neither was in the watered down bill that was proposed in the Senate but never voted on. Tell Cryin' Chuck Schumer to put it before the Senate so the nation can see that Demokkkrats are truly against REAL border security.
Jurors should be wearing masks or in disguise. We the public does not need to know ANYTHING about them.
That's a good idea for safety.
NBC should not be even be telling what the jurors' careers are. I'd thought NBC was more honorable than that.
In my opinion, that's the judge's fault... He was to ambiguous regarding the presses reporting of sensitive information... He did the same with the gag order... Today, he advised the press not to report any identifying information...
Not a Hush Money trial!! Do your job!!
On a traffic misdemeanor 13 years ago, the judge threatened me with 4 years in jail. I said you can't do that it is a misdemeanor and maximum sentence is $5000 and 6 months in jail. He didn't like me much. I took a plea and paid the $5000. Then he thanked me for my 32 years service in the US Army. Happily I moved to a better country that actually has justice less than a year later. I get my hackles up when anyone thanks me for my service. Totally meaningless. But Trump gets away with far more than the common Citizen.
Exactly what has President Trump gotten away with? 🤡🙃 BTW General Secretary Xi thanks you for your service 😂😂
32 years in the service from someone who sounds like a complete beta. Were you a janitor at a building right off base or something??
Just the orange duck a b. J.
I still regret a jury I was once on about a lottery worker collecting about a half million off a machine. The prosecutor had a witness and we were told no deal had been made with him. After a few hours of deliberation we convicted. After going home the news came on and it was revealed that the witness had a deal for immunity. With that I believed the witness a lottery machine mechanic was actually the one guilty. And it appears an innocent man got 28 years.. I think that was 1994. But following that I decided never again to be on a jury. I no longer believe in the American Justice System. And in the 76 years never so much as a parking ticket aside from the previously mentioned incident.
@@rlswims Craving the good ole days of slavery aren't you? As Jesus said. "Slaves obey your Masters" Unbelievable how many Blacks are in favor of White Supremacy. And to think my ancestors all fought to end slavery since at least 1690. Working the underground railroad to get Blacks to Canada where they were actually Free.
Coduct of judge is in question, limit of time ,a political charge to keep Trump from campaingning and being next president.
I believe the jury should be sequestered from the moment they're chosen, for protection (theirs, their families', and justice's). I don't think Trump should have access to their names, and that zero identifying info should be allowed to be shared, published, depicted 8n court artists' renditions, Etc.. This unprecedented case with unprecedented defendant's behavior pattern warrants unprecedented measures to preserve the sanctity of this crucial proceeding. Also, these days, folks could geo-tag cars to learn home addresses! Jurors shouldn't have to search their cars for tracking tech before driving home to their families! These jurors need exceptional anonymity (ideally, beyond a potential Trump Presidency) as well as extreme protections!!!!
😮
If interest rates weren't 8% then the houses costs would be 8% higher or more. So..... so which is worse buying a house that is more expensive- or buying a house with a higher interest rate?
I bought my first home in Bernel Hts. San Francisco back in 1993 for $236 thousand U. S. D. at 9.2 percent was my mortgage rate. A year later it was dropped to 7.2 percent. I sold out in 2011 for just under 1 million dollars. I'd heard a few years back that same house sold for 2.6 million. How people can afford or even survive in America with crazy realastate prices like that is beyond me. Especially in the Bay area. U couldn't even pay me to come back to rip off America. It's not just realastate that's so ridiculously expensive. America's healthcare system is a complete disaster and that's one of the main reasons I sold out. Best move and decisive decision I ever made. Grant it, hands down America is a beautiful country. But that's it. Everything else pretty much isn't.
One way screen for jury!
This process of jury selection / protection proves that we are dealing with a dangerous defendant, he's guilty of course his behavior is proof !! Jurors being afraid of what will happen to them if their identity is revealed? Its like prosecuting a mafia criminal!
Why would you tell what their professions are.
Too much humanitarian spending? Israel leveled Gaza. Where will these people live? How will they eat? How do we prevent all the diseases that arise when there's crowding and no access to sanitary conditions? How do we provide medical care when all the hospitals are destroyed, and health care workers killed? Israel should be helping with this.
Thank you--well spoken!
You're an angel in this era of demonic behavior your Certainly helping keep hope alive we appreciate your passion for wanting to help where would we be without your service and interest thank you for choosing to be a hero
Johnson is growing up.
That’s crazy that the judge is allowing illegal immigrants to be jurors.
Glad they have attorneys on the jury. Better chance at Trump being found guilty. I just hope there's not a mole planted.
Very informative and interesting news comments coverage .
Move the triel to south Dakoda
VOTE 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊!!
That's not gonna happen.
Ryan: *...there HAVE been some hiccups.
I could be a fair and impartial juror on Donald Trump trial, and would love to serve, BUT I LIVE IN FLORIDA‼
Would the jurers be in danger if they found Trump not guilty ?
These Jurors need to grow some balls and do their duty...
oh so youve already convicted Trump? no more innocent until proven guilty? whatever communist! this is what they do in Russia, jail you rpoloitical opponant. Biden knows he cant win on his good standing, his policies or his intelligence, he has been declared unfit to stand trial for stealing classified documents while he was vice president, he shared classified documnets with his ghost writer but he is unfit to stand trial for that as well. how he is fit to be our president is beyond me. what a joke!
Good jurors must be very qualified
Meet the Press NOW - April 18
Apparently we are giving away our missiles, that we have a missile shortage- no to funding other countries when we need to care for our own!!!
There are 7 seated plus 1 alternate selected.
AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
it's a safe bet to assume facial recognition is being utilized.
8% for an interest rate go back in time first of all we’re nowhere near 8%. Secondly there were times in American history when interest rates were at 5% or 6% or 7% which is what we are close to or even more guess what people purchased homes then. The problem isn’t the interest rate. The problem is the selling price of the home. People see their payment overall and they think interest rate that’s what’s driving up my payment no what’s driving up your payment is the selling price the selling price has risen far faster in the past several decades than interest rates. Home prices are stampeding forward, despite fierce headwind potentially, that’s the problem. People forget we had a great recession that was built around rising home prices and people trying to get the most bang for their book when they sold a home whether it was a quick flip or a person having lived in their home for several years and finally selling. Everyone was trying to get way more money than they spent on a home that’s the problem. Go back to the 30s the 40s the 50s the 60s you’ll see people buy and sell homes but the prices weren’t going up so fast.
House Speaker Johnson is the kind of man other men can not respect.
you guys said if its tuesday meanwhile it's thursday, someone correct that
Why would they be shocked? They should have been shocked that he wasn’t there sooner .
Meet The Press needs to bring Chuck back. This show is not the same without him.
Would it be a possibly that Trump would choose RFK for VP. Don't think he is choosing a Republican. RFK has very big money behind him, the same money behind Trump.
I would like to go to a steakhouse or a steak and seafood house but I can't eat rare steak
There was a question I can answer Do you need to change the way you eat because you're a chemist the answer is yes and there are some types of food that if you have eaten those types of food you can't be a chemist
Only way to go to stop shop is they will have to fastidious. Don’t think the Democrats haven’t already had a conversation about a plan.
All the USA
I can’t blame the man he shouldn’t even be on trial Biden and his son has done so much serious stuff and they should be in jail
Many happy returns I support Donald Trump
I hope the judge makes progress in putting Trump in prison in trying to intimidating the juries. Trump had way to many warnings. I hope they sue him and the KLANservative medias.
Don't hold your breath unless you're into deep diving without a tank. I could be wrong and this judge does actually have a back bone.
Nobody believes that garbage anymore. Guess you missed the memo.
Jenna Valentino family already threatened their family legacy how i know om her biological son
I guess those foolish people just want Speaker Johnson to turn his back on Ukraine, but he is getting a little bit of what the past speaker went through 😮
lol news source New York post 😆
All right so I'm looking for restaurants to go to in Washington DC for my visit right and I want to take my grandparents but I don't know if I'm going to be able to take the loan or no so I'm looking at a more upscale restaurant and everything looks good until I start reading the salad menu and it's all blue cheese and blue cheese dressing my head isn't going to spin off and go into the salad so I need to find some place that doesn't have so much blue cheese and I need to find some place that doesn't have so much of it because I have formula a new penicillin and my head isn't going to spinning off into the salad
That was supposed to say my conversation is what you not with Barack Obama our President Clinton
What has happened to Washington the last 25 years. with ditching our alias
He sounds like a weapons salesman.
NBC: JUNK! 😮

Johnson is right that history judges. But who writes history? The First Peoples?
🎶War, huh, what is it good for🎶 Absolutely nothing, say it again🎶 War, huh, what is it good for🎶 ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 🎶
How much was Johnson offered by Schumer?

How i can trust Republicans 8t you are knowing each other's ourt
What i really need to know is did the "Kennedy family" endorsement for Joe Biden come before or after Uncle Bozey crashed his plane and was eaten by cannibals. 😂😂😂😂
Another one where he paid the help and still being prosecuted
Do you even know his charges?
My friend from Russia says trump is innocent.?
jury of his peers? this is so funny :)... i do not think you will find a peer to DJT in the whole wide world!
Put him in jail
2 words...American Ethane.
… looks RFK is the BLACK SHEEP in the KENNEDY clan!
More presidential choices for citizens = spoilers. So lazy and stupid, try saying that anywhere else.
I can't stand listening to trump. I fast forward all the video of him in every posting. Just can't stand him 🤢
TDS 🤡
Who cares about his personality? We need to save America from destruction. Get over your feewings.
You sound healthy 😊
🤡 ud fit in perfectly on the jury
Fake news bs

Trump has the most horrible expression !
Pass Ukraine aid period
we got are own problems. use your money
Republicans congress can’t be trusted 😢
No more foreign aid period
Oh, look at that I say more Ukraine aid looks like majority wins
@@PrinceCezar27 Ukraine is your problem, whether you know it or not.
Who cares who his extended family members support 🙄??? I deeply respect RFK on his own merit, not because of his family
What happened to abc that I was watching? This happened 3times today....NBC!!!!!
😇💙💙🙏🇱🇷🌏
Wow!, I lost respect for the Kennedy’s, i can’t believe it, he is probably the best option.
I am sure that the Kennedy's are just heartbroken at the loss of your respect, but what you should be concentrating on is the fact that the family, who know each other better than any outsider, feel that they can't support RFK, which means he is that family member that no one trusts because he hears voices in his head, you know, the strange uncle, etc.
