Jesus H Christ...did Chris Hayes just destroy Trump and the GOP...

...he was almost shouting his rage at them, for doing literally nothing about the pandemic while its heading for the worst outbreak yet. Basically said that Trump and the GOP have abdicated everything for the sake of their power. Never seen him this angry...and good for him...

Stop trying to please everybody. Just tell the truth. If one of the major parties is fucking with your democracy.....call them out for fucks sake! Stop trying to pretend that Trump has any regard for anyone other than for himself first, and his immediate family second. And there is no third.

He just used both to ride a wave of delusion into the Presidency and this needs to be pointed out. How much of the evangelical vote did this man get in 2020? This should also be pointed out to the religious at large every singe day! Plenty of them STILL voted for this amoral slime. How they can still consider themselves 'good christians' is beyond me. Same with those who want to be seen a 'patriots'. This orange gibbon is the opposite of patriotic, along with most of the Rethug party. How anyone can view what happened in Texas as anything other than an attack on our Union is also beyond me. And, I am a Southerner! (A southerner who believes in this country, BTW. I have issues with certain parts of how our country is run for sure, but I want to make those changes within the rule of law, not by seditious insanity. Sedition did not work the first time, nor should be allowed to be anything other than what it is this time.)

I play "HOPA" games )hidden-object-puzzle-adventure) when I get a chance, and I remember having the same thought playing a game where the villains (a pair of them) were on the run, but were going to make sure they'd win by poisoning the water supply. I could just see the utterly incompetent dudes winners, and helpless, with no one to bow down to them or even do their laundry - and no water to drink, so thy's either poison themselves or die of dehydration - actually, that is pretty much what Trump* calls winning, isn't it.

Why has the media been so afraid of this president?

Why is it that virtually none of them have called him out on his thousands of lies over the last four years?

The fourth leg of our democracy has failed us miserably and so thousands have died unnecessarily.

But today, Chris is finally right. We should have been flooded with science-based PSAs on both public and social media since early in the pandemic, but we've instead been flooded with news about his rallies, his golfing and daily Twitter bullshit.

We are indeed a very troubled nation........ ..... .......

Same for Rachel Maddow and Katy Tur and a boatload of CNN's people: Brianna Keilar, Brooke Baldwin, Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo. Some of them have burst into tears on air while discussing this topic.

We should give kudos to these people.

If so, I'll admit it's news to me. They always use words like "misspoke" or "gaff" or "mistaken" or "not sure of his context" as if they're afraid of being sued for liable.

I was speaking of our MSM media regular nightly news in general, not specific commentators or cable shows that I rarely watch (we don't currently have cable channel access).

I do enjoy occasionally watching those you mentioned on YouTube.
