Boo hoo hoo

The Libs are really reaching now.

MSNBC instead of doing your job as a responsible news provider should, you all go into the past when men use to ride horse.Voters don't care about the past voters care about here & now. Now stop hiding the protest taking place in Iran from D world your omission speaks volumes.

he has never said that in 2011. This is nothing but lies

Sure doesn’t take a lot of grey matter to get to that conclusion! Is that not what he very profoundly kept accusing OBAMA of doing or wantonly trying during his campaign anti OBAMA pure unadulterated infamously of the known jealousy pure & simple MTGA

We're not in a war. This was one strike against a mass murderer. Get a grip, MSNBC!

Continue ignoring AndrewYang ! You are making him stronger with your horrible politics! YangGang. YangMediaBlackout ! BOYCOTTMSNBC!

A war with Iran would financially devastate the USA and the rest of the world but hey, they could spend a year or two kicking around minorities a lot more and silencing the opinions of others who actually have brains so to them it would be worth it.

Msnbc has gone full cnn

Guess he doesn’t need to turn things around. No war.

TheHillTimes

That’s why he started one with Iran

bbc

That was 2011 its 2020 stfu

ABC NBCNews CBSNews politico realDonaldTrump FoxNews MeetThePress FaceTheNation Dad said he was always wanting this to happen he never plans never leads. Then runs like a coward Obama never. Typical trump lmao Dad is too funny Marines 😂 DemCast BlueWave2020

Can’t stand good news huh? Didn’t you hear WW3 is over? Soleimani is dead and they shot down an airliner in their own airspace.

It’s working. This is distracting voters before the election next month. People want to vote for someone, anyone who can bring this country back together. Working for the people. Listening and being listened to. Results for all not just a few. The challenge is mighty.

No he said OBAMA would do because his obsession with Obama started around this time

He sure did. More than once!

Sad when countries like NKorea and China censor the press, but everyday when the media continues to push its agenda I could see why that’s the case. I don’t like how you side with terrorist or a Gen who killed US soldiers, women & children. The media is 1 issue in America!!!

You're really digging aren't you? Trump doesn't want a war with Iran.

And he defused it. Stop trying to brainwash your window licking viewers. Taking advantage of the mental midgets isn’t nice😂😂😂

WOW taking things out of content is an art with MSNBC. Listen to the Presidents remarks and who he thought was going to war with IRAN and why. He was wrong they decided to pay Iran instead. You guys are gaining on CNN for the best fake news shows.

It doesn't matter what he said in 2011. And, who was it that he was speaking of at the time ?

We are not at war...

AdderallTrump

C'mon gang! If we search together we'll find that war we're apparently in.

No doubt! He probably did not foresee himself as that American instigator . . . obviously! But then, it appears that he is incapable of seeing himself as he truly is. It is inevitable, however, that he will eventually wake up and see the world as it actually is, warts and all!

They attacked our embassy and killed an American shot down one of our drones what's wronge with you

Sorry. Go back to embassy attack causing this terrorist orchestrator and Iran shooting down plane. Report the news. Not your hatred

He just started world peace by killing a terrorist and Iran killing a Ukraine airplane full of passengers! You need to stop your propaganda MSNBC WalkAway

Wagging the dog. Trump must go.

These criminals are so awful that they literally tell us the crimes they're going to commit ahead of time.

trump is a FRAUD and a FAILURE! WalkAwayFromTrumpAndHisLies

You’re saying Trump wants to take his anger over his incompetence out on Iran?

Wow

Of course he did

March 6, 2014: At the Conservative Political Action Committee conference, Trump describes his time in Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant and states: “Putin even sent me a present, 👉🏼beautiful present, with a 👉🏼beautiful note, I spoke to all of his people.'

Nuclear blast haunts many people today As God prophecy to me.

Hmmmmm. Does he still believe this?

Trump kills a terrorist, Iran shoots down a commercial airliner killing 176 people (lied about it twice). MSNBC promotes a false narrative. America is noticing who is who.

Almost like Republicans knew what a corrupt war monger Trump was and imposed him on the nation anyway Reject the Trump Regime VOTE the GOP Out

And im 2020 at the time when he is the most powerful man in the world and our duly elected President — he said his actions were to stop a war. Not start it. Morons

Let me let you in on something Top Secret. We are not going to war with Iraq. They have already stood down !! Great news for all of us but you won’t report it because it might help realDonaldTrump

With every day that goes by, I can't help but to think about how Putin & his thugs must be laughing their a$$es off- Like 'WTF will it take before these people realize they have a mad man running their country into the ground

He did say that. Curious at minimal, very dubious at maximal.

Let's not make that happen for him.

Someone needs to make a show with all the clips of Trump saying one thing yet doing another.

Well guess he was right?

It’s true and wasn’t he saying it in the context that it was a bad thing?

And here we are in 2020 with no war. Leave the democrat party ASAP.

He doesn’t have to turn anything around lmao.

Sign of weak and coward leadership!

TrumpFearsBernie We need Bernie as president now more than we’ve ever needed a president someone for the people it’s a shame that our news people can’t report the truth just like Savannah today she was trying to trip Bernie up she didn’t get it done she is so bought and paid for

War? What war? Did I miss it?

True but one must remember trump is truly a coward

Facts: Homelessness in San Francisco increased 17% last year despite spending $300,000,000 to curb the problem Homeless are now moving to live in makeshift boats in the Bay to get away from the toxic living conditions This is how the Democrats will run America if we let them

TheHillTimes

Saying 'That's one way', is far from endorsing it. Ex. One way of stopping Bill Gates' MSNBC socialist propagandists is to pump their studios with Jello©, but that's not a viable means.

The absolute only reason he did what he did.

SNOWFLAKES:Liberal, Socialist Dimocrats never cease to amaze. They r distraught over the assassination of a known terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of American military/civilians yet they kill babies without a tear in their eyes. Relect POTUS Trump in 2020

Trump the chicken shit said What!!

Tired of the Fake Msnbc News Try some real news

Old news on twitter. Just to recap. It blew up in tRumps face. No accolades for him He lost more world leaders respect We almost had full blown War.

Boys and their toys

What’s the issue ?

This is what reporters should point out to him when he takes questions from reporters..call him out to his face.

BBCWorld

U.S. lawmakers divided over Trump Iran argument, set war powers voteU.S. lawmakers were divided over Trump's Iran argument following classified briefings to discuss the president's order to target Qassem Soleimani. Congressional Democrats scheduled a vote on legislation to limit Trump’s ability to wage war Please limit Trumps war powers. He’s not right, in the head. Take it away. He's crazy and we don't need war. Few points from US/Iran/Middle East. (1) Americans mind divert from Trump's impeachment (2) Election campaign for second Term (3) Iranians happy by their good military response to the death of Soleimani (4) Iran became more scary for Saudi Arabia

Mike Lee slams Trump administration briefing on IranWATCH: Republican Sen. Mike Lee slams the Trump admin.'s briefing on Iran: 'the worst briefing I have seen, at least on a military issue, in the 9 years I've served in the United States Senate.' And next week, when Lee is quiet as a mouse and another gop senator is taking his turn trying to save his ass, will we all be fooled? They keep repeating this one story, this man flips out about everything, this is nothing new. But it’s really all the ammo you have. “I mean come on coffee and donuts, Obama had full breakfast spreads at his briefings with an omelette bar”

Tensions with Iran could make Trump 'look strong' ahead of the elections, analyst saysIf tensions between the U.S. and Iran 'rise a little bit,' it does make President Trump look strong ahead of the elections, Cedric Chehab, global head of country risk at Fitch Solutions, told CNBC. Fake news from you make that. Lmao Chess patzer move in international relations.... It was never about doing what is right for the world or America.....only about self (impeachment and election) with media coverage in mind Because he b*tched out in front of the entire world while high on uppers, sniffing like a coke fiend and slurring like an addict close to overdose? Flush this analysis down with the rest of the horsesh*t I assume you packed this article with.

Congress unimpressed by Trump admin explanation for Iran attackRachel Maddow rounds up the reactions of some members of Congress who were less than impressed with the Trump administration's briefings on what imminent threat required the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani without consulting Congress on the use of military force. maddow What a failure,undiplomatic president ever.whoseoever is going to vote for him is a dullard indeed maddow maddow It’s your duty and sworn responsibility to remove him. You remind Americans of a father standing on a curb watching a bully beat up his son while staring at his neighbor repeatedly saying, “Can you believe what that guy’s doing to my son?” Get over there and kick his ASS!
