TRUMP CHAOS CHAIR MIKE TURNER FIRED BY TRUMP MeidasTouch: GOP House BLOWS ITSELF UP as MAGA Mike FIRES Top Member PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwiJfkygD0 Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Donald Trump is pretty unhinged at the best of times ... but what has been happening in the last few days is unhinged on steroids. During the last few days I have started to remember the Jonestown massacre in Guyana where an American 'cult' committed mass suicide! From my perspective, MAGA Republicans have many of the same characteristics that were the drivers of the Jonestown event. In reality ... my opinion ... Donald Trump is a most obnoxious figure ... but he does attract a cult-like following. Whether Republicans will wake up and neutralise Trump is some way, or whether the Republicans who control the levers of power in Washington will orchastrate a national mass suicide is not clear. What is clear is that the United States is in the middle of an existential crisis, and hardly anyone seems to be noticing! It is truly unbelievable ... but wake up, and believe it! Peter Burgess

the house intelligence committee Mike Turner Mike Turner was a fierce opponent of Vladimir Putin and Russia and a big supporter and proponent of Ukraine Mike Turner also spoke his mind about the Russian propaganda that infected many of the Maga Republicans so he has been fired from his position he's been a member of Congress since 2003 Ohio's thirdd congressional district became Ohio's 10th congressional district in the Dayton area that's his congressional district CNN was the for was the first to report it along with punch bow rather I mean here's what we learned house Speaker Mike Johnson is removing House GOP represent ative Mike Turner as the chair 1:01 of the house intelligence committee a source familiar with the matter told CNN Manu Raju explained Jim heimes top Democrat the ranking member on the house Intel Committee just told a group of us that removing Turner quote sends a shiver down my spine and that he is enormous enormously concerned said Turner isn't the kind of guy who is quick to quote bend the knee to Trump and kept his eye on the prize of oversight and trying to protect our country from Russian propaganda that's why Donald Trump ordered magam Mike to get rid of Mike Turner again someone who's had a very successful career someone who's very qualified someone who didn't bend the knee although you know he spoke in favor of Donald Trump if you watched him before you would see that he would still things that are favorable to 2:01 Donald Trump because he had to but generally viewed as someone who was at least competent and qualified so a bad sign that he is gone we'll see who replaces him as Melanie zenona says Trump was a big factor here what we're actually hearing was Trump was the factor people in Trump's orbit thought Turner was too close to the intelligence agencies and others didn't like how Turner um was handling a lot of issues including the fact that Turner was Pro Ukraine and pro- Norman orstein says I will Reserve judgment on Mike Johnson and the intelligence committee until we see who he picks for its chair but I can say now that no one is more happy by this than Vladimir Putin because Turner on the intelligence committee was a check against Putin so Donald Trump doing Putin's bidding right here Margaret Brennan reports the following I spoke with house in chair Mike Turner 3:01 who told me that speaker Johnson fired him as chair of the committee overseeing the intelligence Community Johnson cited quote concerns from Mara Lago as justification for firing Mike turer from being the chair of the intelligence committee representative Jim heims tells CBS that had sent a shiver down his spine which I just read as Andrew desiderio writes wild Turner is one of the biggest Ukraine supporters among Republicans on the hill and is also very involved with NATO much more hawkish than Trump aligned RS would like hawkish meaning he believes that Russia should not uh invade a sovereign country of Ukraine the way Donald Trump is threatening Greenland and Panama and saying he wants to Annex Canada let me show you this from last year where Mike Turner went on CNN and basically said 4:00 that some of his House GOP colleagues had become useful idiots for Putin and Ukraine let's play it let's turn to Ukraine uh an issue that's important to you uh and your fellow Republican chairman uh Michael McCall who runs the Foreign Affairs committee Congressman McCall made a comment this week about um what he says sounds like Russian propaganda from some conservative media uh and why it's so difficult to explain to Republican voters why supporting Ukraine is important he told Julia yafi quote I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the the United States unfortunately and it's infected a good chunk of my party's base he singled out Prime Time Shows on conservative channels do you agree with him and how big is this problem oh it it is absolutely true we see directly coming from Russia attempts to mask Communications that are anti- Ukraine and pro-russia messages some of which we even hear being uttered on the house floor I mean there are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO which of course it is not um Vladimir Putin having made it 5:02 very clear both publicly and to his own population that his his view is that this is a conflict of of a much broader claim of Russia to Eastern Europe and including claiming all of Ukraine territory as as Russia's to the extent that this propaganda takes hold it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle which is what it is President she of China Vladimir Putin himself have identified it as such we need to stand up for democracy we need to make certain that that we know that authoritarian regimes never stop when they when they start an aggression um Ukraine needs our help and assistance now and this is a very critical time for the US Congress to step up and provide that Aid now here is Mike Turner talking about Tulsi gabard that he does not think that she was someone who should be appointed to a significant cabinet position um certainly not the Director of National Intelligence but he goes on to say that he trusts the Senate process 6:02 watch this Donald Trump has chosen tulsy gabard the former congresswoman a former Democrat now Republican to be the Director of National Intelligence overseeing 18 intelligence agencies she not only went and met with Assad she publicly doubted high confidence assessments by us intelligence that he did what we showed you pictures of him doing using chemical weapons there do you trust that she could actually represent the intelligence community lead it and be trusted to brief the commander-in-chief Well I obviously differ in in a great deal in a number of areas with both her judgment um and um and her her background and experience but what I do trust is the SM is the Senate is the Senate process and I think this the senators are going to put her through process she has been nominated she will go through the process and I think there'll be you know significant debate and evaluation I think Donald has 7:00 put together in his last term and I think he will in this term a great National Security team um I think you know C director Radcliffe I think uh you know Mike Waltz as National Security U director are both great examples of people who are going to be foundational I think we're going to see a great National Security team well this is a community that you also have oversight of so you may not vote in the Senate but it sounds like she doesn't have your confidence muscles are vital for movement and play a key role in supporting the vascular system

in this clip as well how he tried to um appease Donald Trump he tried to hold back his criticisms and ultimately that always comes back to burn you if you don't forcefully stand for something you'll lose everything in Trump's orbit you can't be in the Middle Ground you can't think you're going to appease the guy honestly you just either you got to you got to leave Congress if you're not going to fight the guy or stand up to him or you know if you're a full-fledged cult member you bend and Kiss the Ring which is utterly despicable and I think completely uh the opposite of what our constitution calls for for a co-equal branch of government but here's Mike Turner this is April 14th of 2024 let's 10:02 play it as you know Donald Trump has been on the sidelines saying he doesn't want to see that Aid go to Ukraine unless it's in the form of a loan but just very quickly do you expect it to get a vote this week Congressman I do and I expect it to pass by the way Donald Trump had said on the um humanitarian the other the support to the Ukrainian government on the weapons the military support everyone has been very much on the side of understanding that uh we're at a critical point uh Russia is beginning to gain ground Ukraine is beginning to lose the ability to defend itself the United States must step up and provide Ukraine uh the weapons that they need and U I think we're going to see overwhelming support for that in the house this week so again Vladimir Putin clearly celebrating this Donald Trump making a move directly helpful to Putin against NATO's interest um and look I'm no Mike Turner fan but he's at least the guy you'd want to 11:01 chair that committee if you had to pick somebody and now magam Mike Johnson fired him because the entire co-equal branch of government the House of Representatives they just would literally whatever Donald Trump says magam mik does because otherwise magam Mike gets removed because he doesn't stand up so basically none of these Maga Republicans in the house have any power they just do what Trump says well just keeping you updated every step of the way hit subscribe and let's get to 4 million subscribers thanks for
