#MSNBC #JoeLieberman #AlGore
He was Kirsten Sinema in a suit.
Thank you. People do not become saints because they die.😭
He's the reason why many people don't have health care. Don't forget
Everyone has healthcare, what you're talking about is health insurance. Don't forget.
He pretty much killed the public option.
@@csr2120 He was the crucial 60th vote and it didn't happen.
as a direct result of Lieberman's actions, the Public Option of Obamacare, designed to incentivize insurance companies to control their costs, was removed. We ended up with the worst of both worlds, a mandate to pay for health insurance, without the competition of a Public Option to control costs. I consider Lieberman one of the most disgusting senators to have served in the Democrat party.
Hmm.Not good legacy Nicole
Feels like when Henry Kissinger died.
Oh well, terrible people.
Yup no tears here
@@iamjackscompletelackofsurp9606 Tears of laugter with all these comments. I am still laughing...😀😀😀
@@user-tg6zs6us3m 😆😆👍👍
War monger. Don't want ceasefire in Gaza. Now more oxygen for others.
I wonder how many millions of American lives would've been saved with a strong Public Option in the ACA?
it's refreshing to see his villainy was not forgotten. Thank you.
Single Payer. Lieberman said he would vote against it. Imagine the difference.
May Lieberman's villainy in removing the Public Option from Obamacare, never be forgotten.
He loved corporations. And they loved him.
That's the way it is with most Democrats.
Yup@@swimminginthoughts

He was the vote we needed in order to negotiate drug prices in original ObamaCare -- he said no. 14 years of paying retail prices!
And im sure big pharma rewarded him accordingly
Unfortunatly, Joe Lieberman was a servant of his corporate masters instead of the people. That will be his legacy.
Wow, just like every other politician. Truly stunning.
@@kenc7120 Makes perfect sense except... the Democrats were pushing for the Public Option and they needed Lieberman's vote to make it happen. He failed the American people.
Gen.- 0. - Cide. Will be Biden’s legacy.🇵🇸❤️🙏🏿
Can you name a democrat that isn't?
@@calvin8677 Bernie Sanders,
AOC, Blumenthal, Murphy
Strange. I feel nothing.
isn't Joe Biden about that age?🤞
@@roadwarrior6039 corny
Along with McConnell, Pelosi and Trump who are all in the same ballpark. At least McConnell is having the good sense to hang it up.
@@roadwarrior6039 and trump?
I feel good actually
Please don’t call this man a lion of the senate. Snake 🐍 is more like it. Servant? Servant of big business and corporations.
Most fear heart disease and cancer in old age. But falls can be just as deadly. Falls may not be listed as a primary cause of death, but immobility due to injury from falls contributes to rapid health decline. It pays to maintain strength and balance with an exercise program for seniors.
Well, he sure had enough social healthcare programs to take care of him. Since he stop Universal Healthcare for others😭
He was one of the big names behind No Labels
Stop the Public Option for healthcare was his label. Good riddance!😭
I'm sure he would have liked to think so. In my eyes, he was a small man who forgot who he was supposed to work for.
And Chewish!
Heck, he was propping up the potential No Labels ticket on CNN just last week!
@@GTA5Player1 what a convenient time for him to fall down
Not a good human being, so bye.
We lost the wrong Joe.
And good riddance!
His last political action was vehemently supporting Netanyahu in his bloody war.
That's very unfortunate for him.
what's a little genocide between friends?
Exactly like Biden &all democrats
Condolences to his family, but never forget Joe Lieberman is the reason we had no public option in the ACA, which would have become a national universal healthcare system.
If it wasn't him, it would have been somebody else. Don't give him so much credit.
in life, you get what you pay for. You Democrats have no idea how to go to work and earn something.
Good riddance to the old people that has stopped progress😭
@@stevesmith291 Connecticut is a huge insurance state.
why his family? Do you think they are any better that that sack of s?
Sad news? The guy who gutted the public option of health care. At least it's one less expenditure of Social Security.
On one hand, gotta be sensitive. But yeah, let's not kid ourselves about his impact...
This guy was a lifelong grifter, his last grift being No Labels (more like No Anything)
Thank you. Just like Mitch😂
How many people died because he blacked the public option???
He was very pro war aka terrorism against Arabs.. RIP..
In honor of Joe Lieberman we shall observe a moment of flatulence.
lol! Thank you so much. He was just like Mitch, the grim reaper😭
a 21 butt salute for this turd
Lieberman reminded me of the charlatan Rev Jim Bakker, in character.
I don't remember him in such glowing terms.
Don't feel sorry for him , that Traitor . Will never forget .
Traitor to what?
i don't "feel sorry" for him, per se...
But he has a wife and family who are in mourning. They're the only ones i'm thinking about right now.
@@swimminginthoughts how about the millions of Americans who were counting on the Public Option of Obamacare, which he scuttled?
Oh no, the killer of the public option? Anyway
No biggie 😏
That’s bigly Trump.
His vote ensured we didnt get a public option healthcare bill in 2008, pro israel, pro military industrial complex, absolutely terrible person.
And a Democrat
And who have you served, he was one of the best.
He served corporations.
@@lillianmatthew3880. A Democrat when it suits him. His policies like his talks are fired from two orifices. Nuff said.
@@lillianmatthew3880That was his only good trait
“Never a fan” is my kindest remark. Just too aware of the negative impact of his work.
Thank you. These newspapers think that we are stupid and forget how these people have destroyed our country😭
Bet he had great healthcare coverage. He wasn't the kindest or most considerate toward legislation to PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE.
He tried to stop ANYTHING that President Obama wanted for the people. Now, we have to look in his friend’s face, Mitch. Grim reaper number one.😭
He was definitely not a legend. He has no Legacy and 99% of America could care less😂😂😂
Ma ALWAYS said if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything.
That was thumpers mom, but hmmmmm
@@alysononoahu8702 Hmmmm, ok. I have no clue who "[T]humpers" is. My guess is I should probably be glad. But MOST people who came from a stable American home, heard this from their mother. That, and "The World doesn't owe you a living."
Good riddance to a man who did nothing but OBSTRUCT!😭
Lieberman was the reason we didn’t get healthcare for all and he also stopped the public option that would’ve saved millions of lives and billions of dollars. Good to see joe finally took a dirt nap.
Totally agree. May he stay toasty permanently.
He serves us best pushing daisies
@@iamjackscompletelackofsurp9606 I think the daisies are holding their noses
He’s finally food for worms 🐛.
I’m not a fan
Why post if he means nothing to you. Despicable.
I agree, Lieberman is despicable. @@one4truth236
At least he avoided GITMO!
a legend and lion of the senate??! what a joke
RIP Senator. No offense but he was part of the reason Al Gore lost the 2000 election. He straddled the fence too often.
Technically, Al Gore won that election.
Al Gore lost the presidential election because of hanging Chad's on the ballots and papa Bush stepping in getting tge SCOTUS to rule on recounting those ballots when the state directive in Florida required that they recount all the ballots.
Not because Joe Lieberman was his V.P. pick. If your going to blame something ... blame the TRUTH.
He will meet his friends in .....
Osteoporosis is a killer.
Lift weights, eat steak.
So is being a democrat supporter
What's the old saying if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Okay then! How's everybody's weekend looking? Is anyone doing anything fun?
That wasn't very nice of you to say.
@@tryscience Much nicer than what the cretin deserved!
Sad story.
Got a smoke?
-Snake Plissken
I am devastatedby this. I am also devastated that he was one of those who gutted the Public Option.
He was involved with the group No labels!!! I couldn’t believe it!
Apparently you don't know who's behind the curtain at No Labels... hint, millionaires and dark money
thoughts and prayers. that’s one off my dead pool
Blocked the public option, pushed for the iraq war
I'm getting a celebratory drink and going to have me a TIME watching this funeral.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
At the end of the day, death is death and whether you liked the person or not someone that knew them is suffering from it. This is why I wish death on no one, if you have an issue with someone it’s between you two not your families. May he rest in peace.
Has Fox News and Marjorie Trailer Park Greene blamed Biden yet?
they will say he died at 82, about the same age as Biden and then scream the 4 years younger Trump is in top health so he should be elected. Or something like that.
Old age.
Who is to blame for that?
Still voting for 🍊man.
Maybe
He did start no labels
I’m betting they asked Hilary to make an accident happen😂😂😂
@@seanschisler4287and he will lose again.
@@jaytaylor2312 it’s rare to find people as dumb as you.
Al Gore should have picked up Bill Bradlley as his running mate in 2000 !
Prayers for his family and loved ones 💜🙏🏽🕊️
I stopped supporting Lieberman when he endorsed John McCain over Barrack Obama in 2008. He even refused to endorse Obama in 2012 over Mitt Romney. Turncoat as far as I'm concerned.
😂 that’s the lowest reason not to like this guy… not a John McCain fan either but come on he helped put people in the poor house and all you can say is he didn’t support a democrat? John McCain was a democrat in all ways but in name…
As a republican I forgive him for supporting John McCain. Why can't you?
@@DickDebonaire Give me a break. You sound dumb.
John McCain made sure that no U.S. military personnel who might still have been alive in Vietnam in 1990 never came back. Hardly a Democrat.
The most fitting thing we could do to mark Joe Lieberman's passing is to pass a public option.
I guess denying millions of Americans healthcare didn’t help him any.
At least he didn't get removed from Congress in a casket like Feinstien and McCain.
didn't like the guy.. next!!
And he probably doesn't care about what you have to say I hope when you die they show more respect to you then you just did to a great man and by the way If you think it's so easy to do his job why don't you run for Senate and see if you can do that job
What a DINO!
You're under 40 right?
The Democrat that was until he wasn’t for political reasons
Good riddance to the people that have contributed NOTHING but pain.😭
@@saigejones3363how rude to speak of the dead
@@lgk4008 you're right shut ya mouf
@@lgk4008 Then sym
I liked Joe. I campaigned for him in Maine in 2000. We did an event in Bangor and really got to know him. Was good at seeming to be a nice person. But he is the reason we didn’t get a Public Option in the Affordable Care Act. He did much to thwart the party that elected him VP; until the SCOTUS performed a Coup d’ Etat for Bush. His legacy is appalling for middle class America. He betrayed those for whom he professed to speak.
Kirsten Sinema in a suit.
Traitor
Very well said.
Don't get me wrong; this is an awful personal tragedy and my sincere condolences to his loved ones. But politically, Joe Lieberman had been part of the problem for a long time. First, his morally priggish centrism helped cost Gore the election by bringing nothing to the ticket. Second, his inability to change after multiple 21st-century crises led him to the same delusion he helped foster when he ran with Gore -- that both parties are the same.
There is no honest excuse to front for No Labels. It is a stalking horse for Donald Trump funded by GOP megadonors, full stop. As honorable as Joe Lieberman might have been in his personal life, politically he was a knife in the heart of the Democratic Party.
condolences to his loved ones??? WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THAT?
I can't speak to his personal life, only to the destruction he wrought on our country.
@@TheRightONe-et3gh It's not "nonsense" at all; it's what every decent person says when a public servant passes. You know, basic human empathy for the pain of his survivors? And I'll give you a hint: If I _didn't_ preface my scathing critique with that, you'd think I was dancing on his grave ;)
@@Snardbafulator What would be wrong with dancing on his grave? I defecate on his grave. His survivors? Do you know them? Most likely they are like him of even worse. If you give any respect and sympathy to people like that it devalues la notion de respect.
It is not sad news.
He was an obstructionist to health care. I’m sure he received a lot of social care which he denied others. 😭
Why is this sad news? No offense to the family, but he did a lot of really bad things.
He did nothing like Mitch McConnell. Stopped the public option in healthcare, which is why premiums are high. Good riddance to these obstructionists.
I don’t care if I offend the family, JL was a rotten human being.
I was having a terrible day.
Thanks for cheering me up MSNBC!
Cruel! Low class comment.
YOUR Mama must be so proud of how your making her a female dog by your Behavior....
Best news of 2024 so far. Last great day was Kissinger
Who Cares!! No Great Loss! Traitor!
The only thing Joe Liebermann was concerned about, was Joe Lieberman. Iraq War Chickenhawk. Killed the public option in ACA. Gave us the Department of Homeland (In)Security. Joe Lieberman was a bad man who enjoyed others to suffer. Who stood on no principles except that he was his own principle in life, "What is good for Joe Lieberman is good for Joe Lieberman."
He was a criminal
So he just turned his back on dems betrayed them and went republican. Classy guy.
GOOD RIDDANCE! The public option was on a roll. Sen. Joe Lieberman threatened to filibuster the health care bill if it includes a public option. So thanks for stopping progress😭
The existence of filibuster means America stands for blocking progress. Unless it's like legalizing smoking weed in front of kids walking to school during a pandemic and race riots
Condolescences to his family. Thank you for your public service to our country.
Watch. President Biden will say something respectful of his legacy; 45 will say something horrid, if he acknowledges it at all.
What's your point ?
And the MAGA crowd will back the horrid guy and his response because that's how low they've sunk.
@@paulpaul9226his point is trump even insults dead people. He makes everything about himself
So true! 💔
Nobody should have anything good to say about Lieberman. As for Trump, he probably doesn't even know who he is🙃
RIP I was not a fan when Gore chose him. And ended with no labels. I respect his devotion. He was unique and devoted. Blessings to his family. 💙🙏🏽🌻🌻🌻🌻
😊❤😊😊
This comment section did not disappoint.😂 Reading them while listening to them being sad about his passing is hilarious 😆. “ he cared enormously about how people were treated” juxtaposed to “ he’s the killer of the public option in ACA” 😂.
Seems republicans liked him because he thwarted democrats and was an establishment big donor sell out? Did I get that right?
My deepest condolences to Senator Lieberman's family and friends.
This guy was a thorn in the democrats side, a member of the no labels party he was threatening to run a 3rd party candidate in 2024. I'm sure his passing was an unfortunate "accident".
People didn't always see eye to eye with his politics but Joe Lieberman respected your right to disagree.
What a garbage boomer take. The guy killed the public option in the ACA and your boomer brain applaud empty gesture.
First positive comment I've seen in this comment section. I wonder what motivate these small minded people to this level of vitriolic behavior.
@@benb6527 it’s empty people like you two who’s cliche understanding of politics begins and ends with rich white people shaking hands.
@Justin-cs4kr You really do not know that. Outcomes are very difficult to measure, and your assessment is almost certainly based on personal conjecture, rooted in prejudices. Especially as to your focus on THIS ONE MAN. There were dozens of republicans who were against a public option, or any other policies. Just because people disagree with you, and even act against your desires, does not make them bad people. At least, he took action for his beliefs, unlike you who are steeped in idiocy here on RUclips. It's not 'his respect' - it's about realizing we are all individuals, and none of us are perfect - certainly not you!
I've never met Joe Lieberman, and he very well may have been as a nice person who was good to his staff and his family. He should rest in peace.
But his fervent support of the Iraq war, long after many of his fellow Democrats abandoned it, seriously discredits him as a public official in my mind. He did as much as anyone in Congress to support a policy which led to the destabilization of Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of American soldiers, over what fundamentally turned out to be a lie.
I don't think he ever recanted that position or said the war was a mistake: even after Abu Gharib, even after a government supported by Iran was elected, even after the insurgency and the fighting between Shias and Sunnis, even after Nisoor Square, even after the rise of ISIS, etc.
Anyone who supported that war and especially those that didn't recant their support has a stain on their legacy.
Rest in peace joe liberman
HES NOT RESTING LOL.
Spent time with him in the back of an SUV?
Nicole wasn't think-speaking there, because her commen did come off rather odd sounding.
Hope he got to take all that Pharma money

Lieberman is a reason thousands of people are dead because he stopped the universal healthcare and a public option, which would have saved thousands of lives

He was a special man
He was always decent
I was never a fan, going back to him beating one of the last sane Republicans and one of the best Senators of the last 50 years (Lowell Weicker, Jr.). That being said, my condolences to his family.
Totally agree with you on Weiker.
*Funny thing about death - if the devil died. Christians would have tears in their eye's telling everyone what a great and wonderful spirit he was* Everyone loves us when were all dead
Early on, Joe Lieberman was a great Senator here in my home State of Connecticut. that being said, the last decades he became a bit of a kook. But... I feel for his family, rest in peace.
May his memory be for a blessing.
McCain & Lieberman would have been the ultimate bipartisan ticket.
I mostly remember him from the senate hearings on violent video games in the 90’s.
he was always busy distracting us with nonsense while he worked for his corporate bosses
Prayers, prayers to and for this Incredibly lovely, honest, his faith, 💕💕💕💕🫶🫶🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🕎🕎🕎🕎🕎🕎 prayers condolences to his beloved wife, family....we are all in loss ....❤️🩹❤️🩹🪻🪻🪻🪻may his name be a blessing 🌠✨🌟✨

Good Riddance. An awful person who hurt so many americans.

A traitor who loved wars
Congratulations
He's that senator guy from the 2000s who fell to the dark side. I loved him in Star Wars.
What’s Lieberman every done but switch party’s, like Zell Miller and Phoenix, Arizona!
I forgot he was considered for McCain in 2008, which is weird to think had they teamed up and also won, that the entire ticket would be dead by now when it wasn’t even that long ago.
How do you adore a state? 😢
He can now join his good friend, John McCain…rest in peace ❤️
Don't be so sad! You wouldn't even let him on your show these days 😮
Rest in peace Joe Lieberman ❤
