Morning Joe is destroying Obama and his support for Hillary: "The system is rigged"

Obama is CLEARLY manipulating the FBI investigation, by going on TV - twice now - and telling America what the outcome of the investigation will be... and he's undermining Sanders, repeatedly, AND he's lying about both of those things, by saying he'd never dream of doing either.

Pretty gross stuff and sooooooo transparent.

As Joe just said, "this is a rigged system".

"if a reporter passed on classified data on an insecure system, this President would put them in jail"

Mika just said, "The four words of the day?: the system is rigged".

Hey and btw this shit UNDERMINES the down ballot Dems that Hillary supporters are always banging on about... Every single time Hillary or Obama damage that Dem brand - which is almost daily at this point - they hurt other Dems.

Those not so subtle hints he keeps dropping are going to blow up in Hillary's face. He's just signaled that he will put the kibosh on the FBI's investigation, which of course will do nothing but reinforce the publics skepticism about Hillary's innocence and the fairness of the process. Obama has now also made himself part of the scandal by becoming part of the coverup.

Or...

Maybe it's some diabolical Machiavellian form of umpteen dimensional chess and he's gonna yank the rug out fro under her when it's too late for her to save her ass. After all the shitty stuff she's pulled on him over the years that would seem appropriate.

He says that Obama is going against his own State Department.
Mika says, "The system is rigged by the rich and powerful".
They both are asking, "Why do people even bother to vote?"

Kucinich ran on Bernie's platform. Not Obama.
MSNBC kicked Kucinich off the debate for a reason.
In a way, we shouldn't even be surprised at how they're treating Bernie.

And before that, Jesse Jackson and Jerry Brown. Voted twice for Bill Clinton with great reluctance.

I've been waiting all my life to vote for a real progressive. Obama is as close as I've been able to come, but I want more.

And how Bernie received 56% of the votes in Wyoming, but received less delegates due to the supers.

Again, he stressed "the system is rigged"

It would be nice knowing that someone on MSNBC believed in what Bernie stood for, and really got it, but I'm afraid they are more concerned in making Hillary look bad.

I pulled Maddow off the DVR scheduler a few weeks ago, and find myself watching Morning Joe in the AM a bit more before work. Like the above YouTube clip..."What is Happening!!!"

That doesn't make it any less the truth though. This entire primary process has been dirty and rigged.

that his stance against whistleblowers, people trying to help, has been the most draconian of any president in modern history.

Very much sick of Barack Obama, the first president with Lloyd Blankfein's arm inserted completely up his ass.

36. "State capture" or "Cptured State"
Mon Apr 11, 2016, 10:03 AM
Apr 2016

I really hope that the truth, whatever it is comes out.

This is not a good situation.

People deserve honest government. For a change.

Here is a good word to learn - "State capture"



State capture is a type of systemic political corruption in which private interests significantly influence a state's decision-making processes to their own advantage through unobvious channels, that may not be illegal.

State capture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
