That was the best beatdown of Trump in three years

[BeyondGeography]

The Squad as the face of the Democratic Party is supposed to be a problem?

Think again.

[Goodheart]

1. These are astounding times. I've never previously witnessed such an event.

[BeyondGeography]

2. They were all great

And they limited the press to two lame questions, quitting when they were way ahead.

They also sent a strong message on impeachment, to more than just Trump.

[malaise]

3. Loved them

Justice is coming - I loved that she used the Con's own words 'grab em by the pussy'. Caught them all off guard.

They're not giving Kornachi a pass - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! There were no personal attacks on the president.
Fuck you Kornachi.

[BeyondGeography]

4. I LOVED the hammering away at corruption

[malaise]

7. It was well thought out

I am impressed

[Pachamama]

5. I was just shouting at the TV....can't stand Kornacki and his defense of Trump was disgusting...

Glad the women there are having no part of that and shut him up fast....

But Kornacki revealed his true feelings....

Justice is coming....

[malaise]

12. She was having none of that Kornachi crap

Excellent. She walked all over him and destroyed his attempt to feign an attack on the Con. The good news is he has very little time left to push the 'hackery' aka fuckery

[lostnfound]

22. When was that.? I listened to it online and didn't catch the kornacki question.

Who answered it? Did it get cut from the online video?

[thegoose]

39. That obnoxious little asshole is a walking toothache

What did he say?

I change the channel whenever the dweeb with the rolled-up sleeves and the "big board" bounces onscreen. Can't stand him.

[KPN]

13. Yes --

Kornachi was way off base ... and actually appeared incompetent in trying to press and defend his view. He’s a simpleton and hopefully closer to being a has/been today.

[BeyondGeography]

14. He had it all teed up with Charlie Sykes

Trump wants to make these women the face of the Democratic Party. Big win for them!

Then these four women go out and give Don the Con a most cogent, principled and thorough asskicking.

It was beautiful.

[True Blue American]

45. Perfect!

Those 4 women showed what they stood for and Trump revealed what a bigoted, vicious scumbag he is.

[LiberalFighter]

36. Do you or anyone have video with his comments about this?

We need to put pressure on him and MSNBC.

[KPN]

44. No. It's not on MSNBC website, but it is available via

streaming services if you have access to any. .... It happened. He actually tried to share the blame, sort of like tRump's "there are good people on both sides" only the opposite.

[mfcorey1]

8. I agree. They will be criticized but they nailed his butt with what needed to be

said. Now anybody scared of drumpf can crawl back in their shell and those who choose to wait for people who are subpoenaed but will never show up can proceed.

[mainstreetonce]

9. These are the Democrats who sometimes worried me

And now I am so proud of each one of them.
I have tears in my eyes and patriotic songs in my head.

Four proud ,young,intelligent women,America is lucky to have them

[True Blue American]

17. The 4. Brought the

Democratic Party together by standing up to Trump.

With both Leaders of the Party speaking out in protest they reminded me of a family that can quarrel like cats and dogs but woe to the outsider that attacks them. They come together as one!

[mainstreetonce]

23. I wish they would cool any far left ideas till after the election

Work with young people.
Take Florida.Join with the Parkland kids

[BeyondGeography]

24. There was nothing "far left" in the presser

They talked about health care, eg, but not M4A, which isn’t really far left anyway, judging by the number of Dems who have signed on.

[MustBeTheBooz]

29. Well said!!! n/t

[FirstLight]

10. yeah... I am with these fine women!

[Ponietz]

11. Read this:

Here’s the full press conference:

[KPN]

15. That ought to be a thread in itself. Thanks for

posting it.

[lostnfound]

21. Thanks, worth watching. They did well as a group. Nt

[gristy]

26. Yowza

Taking names! These women all did great!

[Politicub]

37. No wonder Trump is terrified of the squad

They are strong, powerful women. Rep. Omar did not gloss over Trump’s own, vulgar language. Everyone should watch this historic press conference.

Trump should be terrified. The squad is the future.

Trump’s craven, nationalistic and cowardly base are stuck in a vortex of hate. He and his enablers will be soundly defeated in 2020.

[BeyondGeography]

38. Omar threw down

I also loved her example of how all white people aren’t held responsible for a mass killing by a single white person. “Nobody asks them if they love that person.”

[Politicub]

40. That was genius. They are going high as Trump sinks lower and lower.

[Locrian]

42. love it thanks!

absolutely. nails. it.

You can see what the moderates were thinking: They would score a bipartisan feather in their caps by passing an administration-friendly bill that included money for “border security” in addition to humanitarian relief, just in time for America’s birthday.

Like many Democratic initiatives, this reasoning relies on a ’90s-style model of what the average voter wants—a collaborative relationship between the president and Congress, say, and conservative-leaning immigration policies. But that model doesn’t accord with polling in the Trump era. In 2018, large majorities of voters across the U.S. consistently told pollsters that they wanted to see a Democratic Congress elected to act as “a check” on the administration.

[Ponietz]

43. I believe it is disingenuous to argue...

...any further, that 2018 was about ‘bread and butter’ issues.

[CrispyQ]

46. That was outstanding!

Thank you for posting the link.

[Wounded Bear]

16. They just need to stop attacking fellow Dems in public...

that's what fuels all of the "Dems in turmoil" bullshit. Easy on the Twitter-bashing, confine it to Trump & Co.

When they keep their eyes on the prize, they are a force. Nobody is saying they shouldn't contribute to voices on policy. Just tone down the 'Trumpiness' on social media.

[BeyondGeography]

19. It works both ways...marginalizing them was a miscalculation

Link to tweet

[Hekate]

27. It is not Mme Speaker who marginalizes them, though. She is absolutely right to advise...

...keeping serious arguments private. And by "private" she is clearly talking about within the Democratic Caucus and in her office, not randomly out in the Twitterverse for Trump to use as a wedge and for the MSM to use for entertainment.

If that's how they want their short careers to be -- as a tool for Trump and the MSM -- fine, go to it. Just don't blame Nancy Pelosi, Elijah Cummings, and others who have spent their lives in struggles these young women can't imagine.

[BeyondGeography]

30. Sorry, they sent a message to her for her Maureen Dowd mockfest

and it was very effectively delivered.

[Hekate]

34. Musta missed that. Was it entertaining for the MSM?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

18. Listened to R*** L******* this morning (for 90 seconds).

When I'm driving, I will occasionally listen to Wingnut radio to see what's going on in Crazyland.

The Bloated Bloviator was praising Fat Donnie's great plan to reunite Pelosi and the Squad (his term) to reunite the Democrat (sic) Party, and then smear the entire party with the Squad's communism, socialism, and anti-Americanism. He seemed to think that if Trump could do that, he'd win a second term in a walk.

Then I threw up in my mouth and changed to a music station.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. All of this Bull Crap about

Party turmoil was and is being ginned up by the Beltway Media. Once it made the jump from the twitter world to someone's account that happens to thing they are a Journalist,well,there you go again.

[DeminPennswoods]

25. Another good beat down was Zerlina Maxwell

on Kornacki afterwards on MSNBC MTP-D. Kornacki tried to argue that Trump hasn't been charged with colluding with Russia, but Maxwell corrected him that the Mueller report looked for criminal conspiracy, not ordinary co-operation or co-ordination. On that count, the Mueller report contained many example of the latter. Classic!

[BeyondGeography]

28. There was some major schooling going on there

She set him straight on his false equivalency BS as well:

[DeminPennswoods]

31. Kornacki left that exchange with his tail

between his legs. I've seen Maxwell on MSNBC often, but she wasn't having any BS today.

[LiberalFighter]

35. I do not like Kornacki. He is so full of hot air.

[keithbvadu2]

32. A beatdown that got reversed

[Efilroft Sul]

41. As read elsewhere, McCain and Graham once shared a spine. It was buried with McCain.

[cwydro]

33. Yes, I was afraid that they were walking into his trap. I was wrong.

They kicked ass, and they put the need for impeachment out there.

No excuse for the “occupant” of the Oval Office.
