Durbin: ‘You Can’t Resign Your Way Out Of Responsibility’ | Meet The Press | NBC News
Mitch is traitor.
"You can't resign your way out of responsibility." Hmm, history wound disagree with that statement. Plenty of people have. From large corporation CEO who ran a company into the ground and scammed money out people's retirements plans, like Eron did. To CEO's of companies like Johnson & Johnson, who knowingly and willingly kept selling women's hygiene products with talcum powder in it, even though internal company memos prove that they knew for years on end that it caused cancer. Yes they got sued and lost and were ordered to pay something like a billion dollars (may be it was n't that much) in damages, but a billion compared to how much the company made from the sales those products for years is a drop in a barrel full of water. And here's the kicker, most of the time those CEO's retire or resign with huge payoffs. So not only do they get away with it, but they get rewarded. When was the last time you saw a CEO get prosecuted and jailed? I can not even remember, perhaps never. And of course, Trump just did too. So yes you can retire to avoid responsibility. Sadly, it is a fundamental part of a capitalist establishment.
The Democrats proved what they represent in the corrupted Republican majority leader, “Old friendships†with McConnell is over.Time for Biden to take the train full steam ahead without the treasonous Republican.
McConnell had a sinister plan since the beginning. He has a decayed soul and an empty morality. The tempting by Satan is successful.
Some older lawyers and doctors are actually offered a premature retirement in lieu of professional discipline hearing which is somewhat similar but has a different end outcome because premature retirement of doctor or lawyer has the same effect as disbarment. But this is offered only for lower grade offences not for criminal acts
No Accountability – No Unity!
Ahh. America. What happened to democracy? Why do you hate Trump? Could it be that he was pro America? Or maybe it was because he wasn't a career politician? Or maybe it was because he wasn't there to take or give out favors? Or maybe he was working to make America great which is not what you and your 'club' are not about. Gee, do you think that 50 Executive Orders, putting thousands out of work, allow thousands or millions of illegals to cross the borders without background checks snd to put a drain on our economy and then asking them to vote Democratic is helping America? Wait, l know. The Raical Left support riots and making the poor more dependent and then whoopie. We have lost our freedoms and America is Socialist or worse. Easy Breezie.
God Bless America.
The chubby crawdad bilaterally scrub because heat karyologically dress after a obscene birthday. adhesive, boundless side
McConnell speaks out both sides of his shell.
Those words or "Retire your way out" will be replayed many times in the future for the majority of the current OBIDEN regime and their enablers lol. Remember when the news was opposing views supported maturely with facts. Now 90% of our media is just political opinion and monologues, editing and fabrication. If you love a FREE country don't enable the corrupt, but support the sources of REAL journalism and REAL news. I laughed years ago at the term FAKE news, but when I stopped listening and chose to learn the facts I have stopped laughing. Our freedoms and our country are the endangered list and it is time for "we the people" to wake up to it and stop believing it is okay to bully or persecute at any level, but is more distressing when it comes from enabled elitist and not a elementary child.
The senate has shown the world that the U.S. is the most corrupt country on the planet. The GOP, ought to be now known as " Government of Putin" . Every single senator should be investigated, have a forensic check of their finances for any wrong doing, or influence of Russian meddling .
Even better dissolve the Senate entirely .
Most politicians are criminals and you media are feeding them! They are no longer reporters but opinion givers and they choose to feed the lies of the left!
No you cannot
If Trump is criminally liable for the riot at the capital, How many Democrats are criminally liable for encouraging mobs and riots disguised as peaceful protests, children that have been shot in Chicago as a result of those riots, the city of Portland autonomous zones, how many Democrats are guilty of inciting and supporting those I wonder which is literally identical to what Trump is being accused of
Why can't we have news that is unbiased. What a thought? Gee Biden is doing a great job isn't he? Let us wait to see a honest investigation re the 6th. Then l want to know the background to the riots last year? What happened to the news that put out the truth whenever possible.
Oh yes. What is up about the Hunter Biden investigation? Still waiting? Let's see what really happens to the country under Biden's administration. Should be interesting to watch America fall from grace. We all need to learn to speak Manderin.
Now, according to Mitch McConnell, the appropriate place for legal action against Trump is in civil and criminal litigation. Everyone that was directly impacted/harmed by what happened on January 6th has a strong case; let the lawsuits and criminal prosecutions begin. Trump started his legal defense fund many months ago; it is time to start draining that swamp in earnest. How about class action suits from Congressional Staffers? Capitol Hill Police? All of the local election officials/workers who were slandered and libeled by him? Likewise, state election officials? All of the individual Electors of the different States? The City of Washington, DC? Individual members of Congress who had to flee for their lives? States that had to send National Guard to provide additional security? Trump has some deep pockets; there should be no shortage of lawyers willing to seek justice here
Democrats sat on the Articles of Impeachment until they could give them to a Democratic controlled Senate. It is not as though Nancy Pelosi did not know how to take the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. Last year they staged a little televised procession of the Speaker of the House and House Managers delivering the Articles of Impeachment in person. Nancy Pelosi claims that she was prevented this time by Mitch McConnell. That is a lie. The person the Articles of Impeachment have to reach is the Vice-President, the individual the Constitution designates as President of the Senate. The Vice-President then informs the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that an impeachment has taken place. By waiting until Donald Trump was no longer in office, Democrats insured that John Roberts was going to refuse to preside over an impeachment trial of someone no longer in office, which is what he should have done. So Democrats proceeded forward with a sham trial which a majority of Republicans said was unconstitutional, presided over by Leahy, to make Republican Senators, not Donald Trump, the object of their ire. The Democrats got what they wanted out of this, an excuse to denigrate Republican Senators.
The Republican Party should be aptly named the AFP, American Fascist Party.
An end cometh to all things. Trump plans his evil ahead of time.. Right now he is busy working on other crimes and making sure he goes free.
Dems need to stop listen to graham n mitch they tricky n lie just like the trump..stop let mitch n graham trick u guys….come on democrats.
I don’t think Mike pence is fearful of mr trump that’s another tactics for the American people to believe but it’s over Sir Donald Trump can run again in 2024
Chuck Todd, resign
Capitalism get in the way of in-depth, honest and critical thinking reporting
Headline: 43 Republicans Senators who allowed The Ring Leader of the Attack On The Nation To Go Unpunished. Why
Headerline: 43 Republicans who Failed The Nation
Headline: Too Many Republicans Without Neither Courage nor Leadership
Negative Sale. Not with me. The 7 Republicans who voted for IMPEACHMENT are NATIONAL HEROES. That's a headline for you
Too many stories about Republicans who voted for impeachment. The headline should be Too Many Republicans Without Neither Courage Nor Leadership
A man, whom it is known was too corrupt and unfit to be President, twice failed to be impeached in the Senate
Corrupt politicians and corrupt u.s. supreme justices are responsible for the death of America
Liberals and the far right are destroying America
MacConnell is really a corrupt leader
America is on her deathbed. MSNBC and FOX NEWS, NEWSMAX CONTRIBUTED TO HER DEATH
Viewers must hold MSNBC accountable. Hold all elected officials accountable. The nation was attacked. It's a CRIME. Take the microphone out of politicians faces. Tell the nation why it is a CRIME and the implications of MOVING ON.
What did Nixon do he resigned his way out of responsibility with 2yrs left in his second term
MSNBC, your reporting on this story is why there is no accountability. The public has to see that MSNBC is just as bankrupt as the politicians. MSNBC is no different than FOX. America need news companies that can present the stories of the day that hold politicians accountable or not have them as guest. If you told news stories without politicians, the news can be credible and tough.
At some point Americans will admit that their elected officials are spinless cowards. They are in Washington DC for the glory, prestige, power, control of national purse string, ….. They are not serving this nation for the love of country, honor, or patriotism. Only ordinary citizens suffer from their corruption.
The lesson learned here is never impeach unless you have the numbers in the senate. The system is on a fundamental level is broken.
With the current Senate Trump was assured of victory because the retrumpican senators are trump minions. No amount of evidence will convince the spineless people or give them spines
Lock them up=deflecting It's called irony. Trump says it takes eyes off his mis deeds. Orange face matches the orange suit
Quite rich when MSM calls others disingenuous.
