1. Thank you. You're so good at this.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Thanks! I always keep up with Lawrence!

[ancianita]

4. I gave up looking for MSNBC on YouTube after day-long delays. Glad they uploaded this episode.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I've posted MSNBC for a long time, since that's what I watch

But lately they've been pretty unreliable, not sure who's responsible for the uploads??

[ancianita]

10. I know you have, and when they upload, you're ON it. Thanks!

3. Its just Sickening and Nauseating watching the Orange Degenerate spew his Dementia and Nonsense.

All the people he's harmed. And the damage will last for DECADES.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. How can anyone support TFG - unless they're as cruel as he is?!

7. "That" does seem to be the answer

He always seems to get his way which is pretty scary and demoralizing. When he first came on the scene I assumed he wouldn't last long. How could any "normal" person support him? I'm still asking that question.

8. I have Liz Cheney's book. He threatens people.

During the second impeachment hearing, Republican House members got death threats, or they were threatened with being primaried. Of the 10 Republicans who voted yes on impeachment, only 2 went on to be reelected.

[Justice matters.]

13. A minimum of 74 million cruel f*cks mixed in with easy to manipulate

with fear-mongering extreme-right-wing generalizations, dehumanizing propaganda and racism+sexism gullible voters.

Millions will die because of their banality of cruelty. A lot already did who did not have to.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Exactly, he gave them permission to be cruel - and fellow Americans will die, including children

9. if trump's mind does not work .....

(it is "if" because i grant him some reptilian level of sentience) then

who is producing this reality show?

trump must have sex tapes of all these repub holy rollers.

[ancianita]

11. Fox. X. Other RW oligarch media.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. And it's scary as hell for American citizens - and also dangerous for the rest of the world.

15. You should read all the YT comments of love, praise and honor that posters are giving to Lawrence. It warms my heart.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I read a lot of them and am glad I did.

Sometimes YouTube comments piss me off and I have to stop reading them. You can tell they are bots and trolls, most likely paid for by Putin.

16. MAGATS are greedy sadists.

They are truly, seriously mentally ill.

[Cha]

18. Exactly True... We've seen it coming

for a Long Time now... and here it is.

I'm guessing I'm one of them.

Do they send a letter?

Mahalo, Rhiannon

19. We certainly did - from the moment he slid down that escalator - and attacked American hero John McCain

And it's only the beginning, every American will suffer before he's done.

[Bayard]

20. Lawrence always hits the heart of the matter with intelligence and empathy

I hadn't heard they were cutting Medicaid to women WHILE they were delivering their babies. Doesn't that go against their goal of having more babies, and taking away abortion rights to do it? Or, are they taking this measure only against women of color?

Congress is as mindless now as trump. Rethuglicans have all drunk the koolaid. And like Lawrence asked, what does he have over them? I'm thinking they are all MAGA's--he's just bringing out the carelessness and cruelty that was always there.

21. Only question every journalist should ask of Demented Dotard

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Every one. Every question.

Thank you to Jeff Tiedrich for this question.

Thank you, Rhiannon, for posting this (and so much more)!

22. I feel the banality with every stupid one of Dump's posts on truth social reported
