Same way Trump lost his 2020 He is going to lose 2024!!
President Biden fours more years 💙 vote blue 💙
With all President Biden has done for the working people,there should be no question who should win unless you are rich and want to vote for someone who will lower taxes for the rich.
Very old FDR vs. very old Mussolini and Gilead. Easy choice.
Hoping enough American voters actually make the right choice and vote BLUE!!!
Obama is not running and we have had enough change.
Trump 2024!
Trump drew 100,00 in New Jersey. Biden can't draw 100. So you are not too bright, are you.?
@@philgreco7037not even 10,000 and I watched a video of most of them walking out with sullen faces. But take heart. Your new winning slogan is REAL MEN WEAR DIAPERS. 😂😂😂
It is INCOMPREHENSIBLE that a person like Trump can even be allowed to run for office.
Well, you aren't the brightest karen, so....
Democrats:”Rule me HARDER!”
One finger salute to all of those on the right! FDT!!
Why not ? When he was in office we had “0” war, Iran and China respected us , gas was less then $2.00, groceries were cheaper, Trump put this country 1st , not like Biden he’s putting muslims 1st before Americans, rent was way cheaper, Biden has killed many Americans, on and on …. You may not thing so because you been brainwashed by the fake news.. Do your own research and you be surprised…
Keep donating he really really really loves you for it honestly he does
The greatest honor I’ve had as an American, was helping to vote Trump out of office.
So you're the reason for the 40 year high inflation.
@@kelperdude You mean the worldwide inflation caused by the pandemic? I notice you don't mention the 50-year low unemployment. Why not, Boris? Trump was the first president since Hoover to leave office with a net loss of jobs. He sucked.
@@kelperdude I think we know now what you do with that inflatable Trump doll at home.🤩🥰
@@kelperdude yeah that's Biden's fault. Crazy how he made inflation happen all across the world, what an amazingly powerful guy Biden is. Some might even say he is a strongman and has the right to shoot anyone that tries to take him out of office?
@@kelperdudeI'm really proud of Biden's inflation. I actually like paying more for food and fuel.
I see a common thread in all 'pro trump' comments here. That common thread is a lack of respect for others.
@gwhiz1397 We understand the 57 Million government union/pension workers all vote for the 9 Trillion Dollar a year Daddy Paycheck.
they really don't care about their own interests...divide and conquer...putin's little putz
It's funny that Donnie is so dingy that the Republicans requested that he take a cognitive test.
"Person, man, woman, camera, tv, I'm a genius."
He aced it. joe refuses to do one. maybe we could do it live at the debates.
Pause.
Repeat the line.
Salute the Marines.
The Gaza-Mexico border is secure 😂😂😂
it's even more embarrassing that Donnie Diaper keeps BRAGGING about "acing" a test that merely has to be passed by people who may have dementia. His father had dementia which started showing right around Donnie's age. (And Donnie tried to get him to sign over all his money to him once his brain was worm food.)
@@nadiamccall4311 Donnie's servants seem to believe it is a test of intelligence.
@@MizzJazlynCrizztinaI think 45 need that test given to him,too. He won't ace that one,for sure!
I am a republican that has voted democrat for the last 2 elections and I will continue to vote democrat until the GOP stops acting like phychos.

I give you three high fives for admitting it in front of the snowflakes

@@oppressedspeakeroftruth6558😂
Well done!
Anyone still considering Donnie as an acceptable candidate needs to check themselves for brain worms...
When you move out of your two mommies house and start paying your own way, you will understand why people vote trump.
Even joe wants djt to win.

@@Monk-Amani. Don't feed the troll.
I am so happy that we're having a debate in june! I just hope that when Trump doesn't show up Biden gets up there and continues on with the questions as if it were an interview instead of a debate. Because coward that Trump is, I don't think there's any way he's actually going to show up
but but the judge won't let him go to the graduation...

I see your TDS treatment isn't working! It's actually Biden who blames everyone for his failures!😂😂
Huh? Trump has been calling for Joe to debate and Joe finally gave in.
Biden can only debate in a safe environment.
Watch the video of Joe Biden making the challenge & note how it has 9 cuts to make the 14 second recording. There will be no audience allowed in and the questions must be approved by Joe Biden before the debate is scheduled.
How much do you want to bet that CNN will not ask Joe Biden any questions about his son Hunter Biden's laptop or all the direct connections Joe Biden has to his son's business deals that are FARA crimes?
Do you think anyone will ever say that laptop has been verified as 100% real and it ties Joe Biden to his crimes?
Will anyone ask Joe Biden why he has denied giving Israel any military aid?
Democrat's impeached Donald Trump for not giving military aid to Ukraine and that war hadn't even kicked off at that time!!!
I deal with just the FACTS.
Maybe you should try doing the same.
Trump is already whining that it's going to be "unfair, rigged." And the MAGA cult are falling right into line, making excuses for him.
MAGA Mike Johnson to Trump: I love the way you lie (credit to Eminem)

Please share your pronouns with the group.
@@markcosenza3274 aww he knows what the word pronouns means, see honey they can learn
Oh yeah, who' YOUR daddy.?
Watching Trump get baited by Biden so easily was a *BRILLIANT* strategy. It doesn't even really matter what he says in the debates. Biden already won.
Where’s your apology for getting the Meidas Touch merch store remarks TOTALLY WRONG?
Ari is the one you need for updates...this dude's legacy is 100.
I wonder what trump will use as an excuse to not debate Biden?
A on air live mental scan and a mental evaluation must also be a Requirement.
Biden would never agree to that repeat the line end of quote
Hur said Biden was too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
A search for earpieces, on air.
For you???
A grammar and punctuation test should be a requirement for people like you.
I think Dems are right.Get ahead early. Secure the lead. Get the news media to report the lead. Put Trump on the defensive. He's there now. Keep that going!
Great clip and I love the slim shady references ❤
Bad idea joe. No upside to this. When you wrestle with a pig in the mud the pig likes it.

Just checking in, as I have done each day for the past 7.5 years to see if, in fact, the walls finally closed in today. I will check back tomorrow.
An Adult debating a kid 😏
Often people who have dementia like Biden do become child like.
Defense: Michael Cohen is a crooked lawyer.
Prosecution: So why did Trump knowingly hire a crooked lawyer? Is he stupid or crooked?
Defense: Derp!
if prosecutors couldn't convict criminals using the testimony of co-conspirators in the crimes, all crime would be done using the buddy system.
Thank you, Ari. I always rely on you to explain the background of the issue at hand. You never fail to deliver. Thank you!
He will come up with lame excuse for not showing up. His base and the GQP will fall in line and repeat his BS story.
😂 He needed 5 jump cuts to get it righ 😂😂😂
Losing the Treasury will hurt, not as much as keeping it.
Donal Trump should take a cue from his bowels and relax.😂😂😂😂😂
Biden has Dr. Jill as his Visiting Angel. 81% of Americans say Biden's too old. 😂
That's a projection on Biden. Do you realize this? This is getting to be silly, the cognitive dissonance.
@@markcosenza3274like trump isn't ?
@@royblack7305 Biden's staff surrounds him to mask his decline.
Biden's "Will you shut up, man" was the best part of the debate. I was waiting for someone to have the backbone to say that to Trump.
Here’s my five cents donation
Never let the truth get on the way of a good story
We should have three candidates on the debate floor. RFK Jr. should be invited too.
I shut my tv off during the debates .
Your name says it all.
Biden loves me.
Romney you disappoint signing on with Trump
Is Trump Allowed to get out of prison to do a debate?
Thoughts and prayers, love and light... to all oppressed, invisible, traumatized and heartbroken elder orphans whose precious golden years have become a terrifying and horrifying nightmare of perpetual battles and struggles, as they oh-so-bravely and courageously walk in their truth while embracing their authentic selves despite inflection points and context-dependent social constructs!
You guys keep doing what you’re doing you’ll make Trump president again
is trump going to wear a diaper? 🤔
how are these two, the best America has to offer?
Their last debate was so horrible - an embarrassment to the human race - this one might crack the earth.
It was horrible because 45 kept talking over Biden. Made it hard for Biden to get his answers out. The highlight was when Joe finally asked/told 45 to shut up.
Pause.
Repeat the line.
Salute the marines.
Two words: made in America
It was next to my corvette
God save the queen man!
Dana Bash and Tapper as moderators is laughable. They’ll only ask about Jan 6th and these stupid trump trials instead of the open border, terrible inflation and wars.
Ari is trolled more than Maddow and Joy put together. There is some great stuff here.
He has gone goofy this past month. Something has changed.
@@sayhisnamewhickerfjb You're right trump has gotten worse.
@@sayhisnamewhickerfjb 👈 Is my drag partner..🤩
Michael Cohen admitted to lying, and he's also appears to be genuinely remorseful and sorry for his past self-serving, poor and bad choices.
In contrast to the aforestated, when has djt ever said or even actually been remotely sorry for anything? When has djt ever demonstrated any kind of accountable for his negative actions or poor choices, and when has he ever shown an ounce of remorsefulness to the people he's wrongfully belittled, slandered, abused, and hurt? ALSO, when has djt ever stopped lying, because still to this day he is blatantly telling the most self-serving, slanderous and/or agregious lies about people who've crossed him, and about the people who've shared and who are sharing the truth about his past, present and future criming.
Today facts and truth no longer matter, and that's thanks to djt, so that means no lie is off limits for him either. Djt will continue to lie about absolutely anyone and anything, without regret, without remorse and possibly without ever stopping, because he has done nothing but profited from lying his whole entire life!!!
Real. At what bar at what computer did I ever see you in person listening to The Grateful Dead? Real?
Please keep microphone off when trump try to interrupted ,please,CNN and NBC! Keep control and good questions!
I never watch debates. I have already decided who I will vote for and it is not the big orange cheeto
All this bs from Trump has us all tired
bidden loses again
Ari, I’m disappointed. You have personal animosity with Michael Cohen, so you spin this as if Trump were innocent! *YOU* are the one with a vendetta. You’ve lost my respect.
I am not happy with Biden. However, if Trump is the alternative, I choose Biden without any reservations.
The CNN debate will not be available to those of us without premium subscriptions, validating Lawrence' O'Donnell's point that this debate is for TV and not for the public. ABC will be available for free but is much later. I do hope this nonsense is widely circulated. Non-Subscribers vote. Joe should make certain that the first debate is available to us.
Joe will do what he is told.
i might be wrong but i highly doubt that cnn wouldn't make a presidential debate available to all online.
Wakka wakka 😂
Today's Left:
1. Authoritarianism: Critics often point to a perceived authoritarian streak in the far left, particularly in how dissent is handled. This includes attempts to suppress opposing viewpoints, which some see as akin to the fascist intolerance for dissent and the enforcement of ideological conformity.
2. Centralized Control: Both fascism and some ideologies on the far left advocate for significant centralization of power. While the goals and values may differ, the method of centralizing power can look similar, with a strong emphasis on government intervention in economic and social affairs.
3. Collectivism: Fascism and certain elements of the far left share a focus on collectivism, prioritizing the group over the individual. In both cases, the individual's rights and identities are often seen as secondary to the goals of the group or state.
4. Militant Activism: The use of direct, often aggressive, actions to suppress or intimidate opposition can be a common feature. While the far left might focus on social justice, the method of using direct action can mirror the militant aspects of fascist movements.
5. Propaganda: The use of media and messaging to shape public opinion and enforce ideological purity is prominent in both far-left and fascist ideologies. Both groups can employ propaganda to demonize their enemies and promote their own agendas.
ALL TRUMP NEEDS TO DO IS PLAY BACK JOE BIDEN JUST SPEAKING OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS PEOPLE WILL BAKE UP THERE MIND THEMSELF
I wonder if Trump will walk up behind Biden and he did for Hillary?

Poor Biden, this is gonna be brutal.
We in Scotland have disliked Trump long before it was popular, many years ago he tried to stop an offshore wind farm being built a few miles from his golf course by suing the Scottish government. He lost his case and had to pay a huge legal bill, being the petty man that he is it is the reason why destroying offshore wind farms is a top priority for Trump if he returns to the presidency. He flew to Scotland once and brought his own red carpet and hired two pipers to play while he got off the plane like the conquering hero returning, and acted like it was spontaneous but was arranged by himself. He did a media interview at his golf course telling the media how much the people of Scotland loved him while all the time you could hear the jeers of a crowd of protestors in the background. When he was building his wall people who lived next to his golf course flew the Mexican flag and even got a Mariachi band to play while he was doing a TV interview.
Aw, Ari, you didn't play the clip, it was great. I get hours of the Defendant, downer, downer, downer. on this channel. Biden's challenge was refreshing! Kristi Greenberg is delightful and very intelligent, but she missed a lot of entertaining moments and one great big concept; The only legal precedent that Todd Blanche had to offer was the case of Pot vs.Kettle. Cohen's "past lies" don't amount to anything without context. He has paid heavily, doing jail time for his minimalization of the facts and hiding money from the IRS - now it's the current defendant's turn. That's what this trial is about. I don't see how anyone is overlooking this.

Biden needs to focus on contrasting his accomplishments to Trump’s accomplishments. If Trump talks about the border, Biden should simply say… you were president for 4 years, why didn’t you fix it then. If Trump talks about the economy, Biden should simply say.. look at the unemployment #’s compared to Trump’s.
In response to any border comments from Trump, Biden should say "Where's that wall you promised to build?" He needs to remind people that Trump talks a big game and fails to deliver.
Suspect Trump will weasel out of it somehow. It would be great if he doesn't. He appears to be sundowning.
Cohen has sunk this case.

Remember the inflation, wars and border crisis during Trump?
Me neither 🐸☕️
There was a huge border crisis, wars continued in Iraq and Afghanistan, the current inflation is worldwide and cause by the war in Ukraine, the US is doing better than many countries.
Trump's election campaign in 2016 only made 23 claims 1. Cut taxes - he only cut them for the rich. 2. Build a border wall - he didn't. 3. Lock Hilary up - he didn't, in fact he didn't even get as far as a Grand jury because there was no evidence of serious wrongdoing.
