He doesn’t do anything now. So, it’s business as usual with a little extra lesson on how our government is suppose to work. OK He does a really great job of making tax revenue his personal piggy bank

Not to mention that Trump fired a shot at Adam RepAdamSchiff this day. POTUS is just about the stupidest one man I've ever known, and he will live to regret calling Schiff a 'political hack'.

clairecmc That's the way I heard the threat! So then, what's prevented legislation in 2017-2018 It sure wasn't the 'investigations' in the House! Nunes and Ryan made sure of that!

Wrong and lying.... McCaskill ! President Trump said democrats don’t spend your time on investigation vs legislation ! Do your darn job !!

Not basically, that's what he said literally. And Peggynoonannyc only noticed AOC wasn't perky enough. You'd think such a thing uttered by POTUS at SOTU would leave everyone with their mouth to the floor. I guess GOP is bottomless

She is now a nobody, so why is she still popping her gums?

The people doing the investigations have more time on their hands than they know what to do with.....

Need to pass legislation so enemy nation can't install another puppet like realDonaldTrump

Nope.. I didn't hear that. Maybe Dems are tone-deaf to Americans' patience wearing thin, sick & tired of all these witch-hunt/nvestigations, 'ya think?

That's why I didn't watch that speech. it's all a bunch of BS. when he stop demonizing immigrants and he put children back with their parents and change his policies then we can talk.

This is why she was defeated.

Claire “threatens” is your word and not the Presidents - let’s get it straight who is refusing to work with who - your Pelosi is the stopping block.

The bully in office does what he does best, lie and bully!!!

Love it

Isn’t it wrong to purposely dig to try and find something. It will be made up anyway

Impeach now?

Noooo...President Trump basically said.....”if investagation was going to find something ..... it would have by now !!!!! Please MUELLER close your investigation AND Stop 🛑 this idiotic investigation. Dems ...MOVE ON ....GET OVER IT..... AMERICA over your own disappointment

How would that differ from the first 2 years?

Investigation it is! Our country is at stake.

USA FBI CIA USA NASA FEDERAL JUDGE FEDERAL COURT JUDGE AMERICAN CANTRIY DIRECTOR NATIONAL SECURITY INTELLIGENCE MUST FOCUS HARD ON VLADIMIR PUTIN OPERATIONS. IN WASHINGTON

Ur twisted mind 😂

Why is that NOT obstruction of justice?

Someone 'INNOCENT' wouldn't say that 🤔

Drump doesn’t have any control over investigations And the Senate won’t vote on any legislation anyway So nothing has changed except Drump became Nixon last night

DrGJackBrown

That may explain the shutdown. Trump might be holding the entire country hostage to try and force an end to his investigations. Even more reason to investigate.

Impulsively throwing the nuclear arms treaty with the Russians down the toilet is a brilliant moment in diplomacy!This gives Russia the “go ahead”to create advanced weapons to be leveraged against the US and the rest of the world!Something,in which they are most proficient!

Inept analysis by former official.

America is sick of it. But go ahead, and watch the backfires continue.

Dems completely missed the point

He basically said that it's time to stop the nonsense from the left and get back to working for the American people. I agree with him.

He needs to be OUT of office immediately... ImpeachTrumpNow

Idle threats,the Dems WILL go after him!

Sounds like a threat to me.

I was watching also and did not perceive that same take.

Here comes the shutdown!!!

Thats what i saw also.

Bahahaha

Impeach

Wow

Release the list of representatives who’ve used our tax dollars to pay off their sexual abuse victims!

That's mob boss stuff there.

Trump 2020!!!!

No he’s using historical information that when congress investigate they can’t legislate this is due to the partisan nature of investigation in Washington resulting in gridlock

Funny I took it as if you spend all your time investigating nothingness they're can be no legislation. Seems kinda logical

There won’t be any legislation passed anyway so it’s an empty threat. realDonaldTrump had no oversight for two years and now he will. Too bad Trump. Welcome to hell even more so with the empty threat.

Okay now you have to dig deeper!

I say INVESTIGATE...investigate everything. Oops...they already have started.

realDonaldTrump I took it as him threatening The Speaker of The House!! On National TV!!! The news showed he said it twice!

theebillyporter He was only telling them to investigate.. you know, like he told Russia to hack the emails..

Trump’s threats about investigations are more attempts to obstruct justice in broad daylight

Isn’t the latter a given unless he compromises with Dems so why is it related to investigations? It’s a bit like saying if you investigate me the sun won’t rise in the east.

That’s not even a threat any longer. That’s just every day. Mitch McConnell broke the process and broke the Senate a while ago.

RobertaSaidThat If you don't play by his 'rules' he will take the ball and go home

They can pass legislation as soon as the Senate does it's job. Override any of Trump's vetoes and move on.

Intercourse the president threatening America and the congress . What’s next Russian goons in the house with AKs ? May he an his family All go to hell and prison for their crimes!!!!!!!!!!! PHAT NIXON LIES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN poll on Trump SOTU⁠ ⁠: '59% very positive. 17% somewhat positive. 23% negative.'

If you tell the TRUTH, you will never be caught in a LIE: all the American people want is the TRUTH! Is that so hard for the POTUS to do?

I thought he meant, if you investigate me their will be no legislation and a war.InvestigateTrumpsCrimes

He's hiding something very big.

Come on, Claire! Tell us more about how SENATOR Sanders is too liberal from your spot in the unemployment line.

Mobsters are gonna mob.

Thinks he can bully his way out of investigations.

Nancy Pelosi told him THIS Sorry, sir. But Article 1 of the Constitution is the legislative branch. And it has the responsibility to exercise oversight of the other branches of government. We would be delinquent in our duties if we failed to provide the necessary oversight.

That phrase went over everyone’s head from what I see here, 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

that’s NOT what he said… need to stop twisting his words into something other then what is said just to fit their narrative… 🤥🤥🤥🤥

That’s a blatant threat wake up America...he’s got a lot to hide.

Claire McCaskill must be one of the White Robe cult, confused Democrat woman with her LIES. TRUMP TRAIN 2020🇺🇸

Well she is a former senator.

And Dems have campaigned on resist (no legislation)

He did?

HAHAHAHA........ that goes BOTH ways.

Anyone not a fool can plainly understand that Democrats are playing dirty politics via endless investigations just like the Mueller hack job.

Funny how she was talking about how much Trump lies. Maybe she lied more, since voters in her state took her job away. Now she has to work on a less than mediocre so called news show with someone who new he was going to not get re-elected and quit to save face

“Former” you are out!

No doubt in my mind, Trump will be removed from office in a matter of months No doubt it will be in a plea deal which would he gets to keep a 50 million condo in Moscow, not yet constructed. Well, not really; Russia ready to dump him when he is no longer useful. Soon.

Maybe that’s why you’re not a senator anymore you don’t understand what you’re hearing you hear what you want to hear and it’s false

WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK .MAGA PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 2020

Lock him up

He needs to go.

President Trump is the greatest President ever. You people just don’t like that he won . If you want a politician then you’re doing drugs . He’s doing great . MSNBC you’re an embarrassment

Hahahahahaha! He’s BEEN investigated since 2015! Lol. America is weary of the witch hunts! America, also, sees the evil of the Dems...it was shotgun blasted at us during SOTU, as Dems sat repulsively on their hands during socialism and infanticide parts!

Wrong

When you are inoccent investigations are welcome

False Narrative

Hmm, so if all that gets done is investigating, how are you going to get the healthcare work done that you promised the PEOPLE during the last election? That is your errr THEIR job,

Doesn't it bother anyone that Trump activated federal troops on American soil? Isn't it time to worry that he may use his troops against sanctuary cities?

FORMER senator who lost to a republican. Bitter much?!

That is not what was said i know you say this crap hoping people who did not listen to his speech will believe it but people who listened know what he said why do you feel the need to twist everything he says? Your hatred do not alter facts. You need to stop

Impeachment coming soon

Amazing how much power the dumbass GOP gave Trump. Mr I have had investment deals with Deutsche Bank since 1978. Mr tax liens. Donald Trump really does not understand 3 branches of government. Thank the fools who put him in power.

Oh and she is such a help?

More open threats and obstruction. How is he not locked up already?

that is the stupidest thing i have heard

Except he said nothing like that

Wow! Didn't know Claire lacked the skills to comprehend speech.

Mr. Lock Her Up? No. Can't be.

When will Trump stop criticizing Obama and Bush? When will he stop criticizing John McCain? This expression has been used many times but still bears repeating. Mr Trump, HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

It’s isn’t a threat!! It’s the truth!! U are so busy investigating that u don’t have any time left for the American people!! U don’t work on anything else! So intent on getting him that u do no other work!!

After investigating Trump there will surely be legislation... under a new president.

EXTORTION IS TRUMP'S THING.

Why did MSNBC hire a Centrist Democrat. Who lost by the way. And is also a multi-millionaire

He didn't delete 30,000 emails. Mueller would get more convictions if he investigated the Democratic Party. We all see their is no justice in the house.

The Clinton’s never did that. But oh wait they weren’t guilty of anything.

Always in plain sight with this delusional, incompetent man.

All the squatter in our White House did is lie. He said nothing about the working people who who get trampled on by this school yard bully. rumpy completely ignores the terror he creates when he says nothing about our healthcare system. He only cares about his own bank account.

Please share in quotes where Trump said that

There’s no legislation now anyway. Trump is a criminal and should be impeached not leading. We’re lucky trump is ineffective

He's naive to think there is a chance of legislation given the neo-communist direction of the Democrat party.

It's because he actually wants you Dems to waste the next 2 years doing nothing but that. We will win so easily in 2020. MAGA...

USA is so screwed. No one can stop the trumps. trump owned by putie and no one can stop them. They all need to stand and salute like good comrades.

He said: “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn't work that way.” Correction: “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be crime and transgression. It just doesn't work that way.” ImpeachTrumpNow

Get ready !

That statement would be public obstruction of justice talk. And extortion of the citizens by an apparent tyrant? Hyperbole? I dont know? Seems one party out of two is kinda culty. So election horse race is medias folly to blur truth. Why? Midterms 2/3 said no cult please.

That sounds like a dare.

Translation: “if you want to get anything done, start by impeaching me” - DJT

And this is how dumb the elite media are today. Embarrassing

Farmer senator with a little s

That’s how he legislates!!!!!! Threats and fear!!!!!!

No...what he meant is stop spending tax payer money on NOTHING BURGERS meant to maliciously sabotage opposition to gain political power...there, fixed it for ya.👍

Soemthing else to investigate.

Will Claire just go away already?

I think your hearing things

Geez you people are really NUT'S!

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF I JUST WANT TRUMP OUT OF WHITE HOUSE AND THE SOONER THE BETTER!!

He thinks that he is really slick. He wants everybody including the investigation with Mueller, to be over with. He’s a criminal and should be put in prison. He wants to be the Dictator of the United States, but we won’t let him!

Just impeach him!

And?

Threatening, intimidation. That just shows he's paranoid. Something not right with him. He's unstable.

That should be ALARMING to every member of Congress no matter the party

Well then I guess there’ll be no legislation cuz there DAMN SURE will be investigations.🧐 We can wait this one out too- just like the WALL & you see where that got him!🤨

No one is above the law. Trump will learn that in the coming months.

FEAR NO MAN!!!

A former Obama advisor gives 3 reasons why Trump is unlikely to clinch an infrastructure dealPresident Donald Trump is widely expected to address infrastructure when he delivers his State of the Union address — but he'll have'three pretty tough bars to get over' to strike a deal, says Gene Sperling. The media is a product of professional indoctrination centers aka colleges and universities. A result of their brainwashing is they respond in a robotic group think, all saying the exact same thing after they receive their daily talking points. Sure are an awful lot of firmer Obama advisors around.
