1. yeah...fuck 'im....

just another talking head...

[Cha]

4. Another one who makes no sense.

[Me.]

81. He & M. Moore

of like minds

[Cha]

84. They're not helping.. they

should get out of the way.

[trueblue2007]

13. i can't stand him. i've heard him make strange comments and wondered... he is a Dem???

I don't think he is !!!

[gab13by13]

45. I have always believed

he is a closeted Republican.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

76. I *thought* he was

He was appointed by Obama to run some office after he took office but then right-wingers ginned up some kind of "scandal" about him in those early days- him being too "radical" or something. and Obama felt like he had to let him go. I think that he started to go sideways when he made a comment about Trump seeming "Presidential" after giving a halfway normal SOTU speech or something.

[Maru Kitteh]

2. When he went on his little tour to show us how wonderful all the Trump voters really were

I really decided I was finished altogether with him then.

I felt sorry for him when Prince died, but really, his "insights" since Trump took over the White House have been absolute crap.

[Cha]

6. I had no idea he did that, Maru!

I remember him from what he said in that 2nd tweet about .. ".. trump became president when he read the speech.. "! What Woke Analytical mind does that?!

[scardycat]

3. Van Jones is one of those

"I'm so nervous!! If we let the dems do their rightful duty, we might lose followers and everyone will make fun of us!!" peoples...blah!!!

[Cha]

9. Unbelieveable! Does he even

hear himself talk?!

He acts like he's doing the suits' bidding at cnn.

[W_HAMILTON]

5. I been done with that man.

Ever since he gave that "tonight, he became president" quote after Trump gave a low energy reading of a SOTU.

[Cha]

43. Yeah, according to Van.. trump became

presidential reading from a teleprompter.

[vercetti2021]

7. Van Jones is a blowhard

I agree with a few on here ever since that he became president crap I've I've been done with this guy

[Funtatlaguy]

42. He loves the attention of being a contrarian/devil's advocate.

[Joe941]

8. It amazes me to see people even watch CNN anymore.

[mcar]

74. CNN has been doing great work

They've broken several major impeachment-related stories and have been stalwart in their criticism of Dotard. They, like MSNBC, have a few hosts/commentators who are useless, like Jones.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

[True Blue American]

88. Yes, I have been impressed lately how much more they are ahead on the latest news.

They had a Special Edition at 9AM this morning.

At night and on weekends MSNBC has the boring date line or reruns.

[Drunken Irishman]

10. I stopped caring what he thinks when he said, "tonight is the night Trump became president"

Oh fuck off...

[Cha]

12. I know.. that was some major gas lighting.

And, we can see by his statement on impeachment.. he's only devolved.

Link to tweet

[True Blue American]

28. I have not liked

Erin Burnett for quite some time. She will ask a leading question then sit back with a smirk.

Never watched Van Jones.

But did listen to a little bit of Trump this morning at Shady Acres or whatever. He was going on about how he did not need this job, he should be sitting among them. It flashed through my mind, this guy knows he is done, getting ready to resign.

[Cha]

31. trump is psychotic..

I think he wants to hang onto his fake place in the world and continue trying to lie and smear his way out of the crisis he's made for himself.

But we'll see.. look at how far we've come from him Lying about the size of his inauguration and scamming everything connected to it.

[Funtatlaguy]

44. You get a Big Smile 😃 for calling the Villages Shady Acres.

Here’s a look at the super white, wealthy, mostly Repub enclave in central Florida.

https://www.thevillages.com/

[True Blue American]

63. I knew it was a

Wealthy Community. Bet not one of them, no matter how wealthy turned down SS or Medicare.

[Funtatlaguy]

64. Of course they didn't.

I know a gay couple that thought about moving there.
After the tour which included a lot of dirty looks, they changed their mind.

[True Blue American]

65. That is the

Base of the Republican party. Wealthy old people who are afraid someone will get their money. Wealthy, but still greedy and envious. And poor folks who think this guy is going to help them and those who send their last dollar to the TV preachers that are going to make them rich!

I know a few of the greedy in real life.Two are Preachers.

[Funtatlaguy]

66. These friends also saw no brown or black people there.

[True Blue American]

68. Why am I not surprised?

They live in a fear fueled world where,” them blacks, hispanics, Muslim, etc. are going to take over.”

I prefer the real world and am staying in my home where all live as neighbors until I can not.

[Funtatlaguy]

70. Realtors can't "legally" divulge race demographics of an area.

So, many will use code words when they know they are trying to sell to bigots.
“This is such a nice family friendly, safe area. I’m sure you’d have a lot in common with your neighbors”.

[True Blue American]

71. Yes, I lived through that red line era.

Sell one house, the whole block would go. Thank goodness that is long gome. Republicans would like to go back to the 1950’s. I prefer this time.

To watch the young march, stand up for what is right is great to see.

[Funtatlaguy]

72. Family values.

[True Blue American]

73. Yes,

I prefer real ones. Argue, fuss but all for one if attacked.

[Efilroft Sul]

92. My aunt and uncle both moved there two years ago.

They got sick of the cold, wet, overcast winters here in Pittsburgh, plus they both like the idea of year-round golf.

Anyway, they knew what they were getting into when they moved there. Though they're not the gossipy types, they can tell you some interesting stories about Geritol Babylon and the wild sex parties. When they heard Trump was coming to town, they thought it was an ideal time to head to Disney for the week to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, which is today.

[ecstatic]

20. +1000. nt

[mokawanis]

75. Same here

I watched him say that and immediately thought 'this guy's an idiot'. Been trying to ignore him ever since.

[ismnotwasm]

90. Yup.

Actually before then but that was the don’t look back door

[BigmanPigman]

11. I just wrote about him on an earlier post...

"I still can't watch Van Jones since all I remember is when he said, "I think he is finally being presidential" when he first addressed the nation in State of the Union speech 2017. He isn't a very good judge of character."

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=12542415

[Cha]

14. So many people have brought that up tonight.. on

twitter and here.. it was my first thought, too.. when I saw Van's name.

Link to tweet

It made quite an impression

[Skittles]

15. he lost all credibility when we fawned over Trump after a scripted speech

pathetic

[Delph]

16. Impeachment is a moral imperative.

[Hal Zerozerozeronine]

17. Impeachment IS Risky if it's Not Pursued Aggressively

Impeach Trump: But for all his crimes, not just over Ukraine scandal

[Cha]

18. We still had to do it..

Link to tweet

[Hal Zerozerozeronine]

19. My hope is that MORE DAMNING FACTS will be unearthed during the Process

As was the case during Watergate.

[Cha]

21. Oh yeah.. it's bound to happen..

how could it not? We have some very smart, scrupulous, patriotic people on our side!

[lunatica]

22. Pay attention

Every day new damning facts come out. Sometimes twice or three times a day. And everything coming out is impeachable.

[True Blue American]

67. I am so tired of the spineless media

Clutching their pearls. This is the Constitution we are upholding, not poll ratings for a Reality TV show!

[Cha]

83. No doubt.. they should be asking

for trump to resign.

[tishaLA]

23. I used ot be a big fan of Mr Jones

we even follow each other on twitter, but ever since tRump signed the First Step Act and Mr Jones joined forces with Kim Kardashian-West an Mr Kushner, he's been far too uncritical--and frankly often supportive--of this administration. I understand he has ulterior motives and the inmates are a worthwhile cause, but damn. He was never this solicitous of Pres Obama; when Obama did something wrong, Mr Jones was more than happy to say so.

[onetexan]

24. Van Jones is a showboater like Donna Brazile - say anything to grab attention.

[Cha]

25. Even if it's something

stupid and doesn't help Democracy.

[onetexan]

26. Exactly Cha, sad that these people are commentators on TV :(. Say anything to make a buck.

[Cha]

27. It's tragic that these people have

the bully pulpit and all they can do is gas light about Impeachment.

It's a WIN WIN for Dems.. It's the right thing to do holding trump accountable for his impeachable offenses.. That's the starting point.. the rest will follow..

Are we as Dems suppose to cower under trump because we're afraid like Van Jones and Erin Burnett?

onetexan

[True Blue American]

32. Does not matter

Cha! Our party follows the constitution. We are the party of laws!

Trump nuts are screeching like the cornered rats they are. Trump is insane and they know it!

Squealing rats jumping off the ship. I honestly think people go to see him now to see how crazy he is..

BTW, Good morning.

[Cha]

34. Well said, TBA.. "Our party follows the constitution. We are the party of laws!"

Good morning to you! It's almost good night for me.

[True Blue American]

29. Anything to be on TV

After CNN fired Donna, didn’t she go to Fox? The DNC fired her,too.

[onetexan]

30. Yes i laughed out loud when i was flipping thru channels the other day and saw her on FauxNews LOL

sad what she's become.

[True Blue American]

33. Parady!

Long past the Sell date!

[True Blue American]

35. Told this before

My Son, who hates Politics and the TV was visiting., the Tv Was on a cooking show. He began to watch. He loves to bake Cinnamon rolls. This woman was making a different dough.

After I flipped to another channel, he watched for a few minutes, then said,”” Get that blanking man out of the blanking White House!”

[Aussie105]

36. So nice

for some people to be so concerned.
It's like 'be careful children, you may regret doing what you wish for. Real harm lies that way!'

Of course, you could counter with a list of the REAL harm the Orange Blowhard Captain Bonespurs has already done.
But why bother?

As Nancy says . . . don't really have a choice at this point.

[rpannier]

37. I gave up on him when my father told me he said

the media had nothing to do with trump's getting elected

[Cha]

38. omg... how wilfully clueless can you get?!

[True Blue American]

39. No wonder!

Even Scarborough and Mika allowed Trump, their dear friend to call in daily, bragged about being invited to Mar a lego until he threatened to expose their affair and told about her bloody face lift. Then they turned. Do not forget Joe was in the front of the Clinton impeachment over Monica!

Then he left Congress, his wife divorced him. He has been married twice since that time.

[Mike Nelson]

40. Welcome...

...to the Done with Van club!

[Cha]

41. I've been in that well deserved club for so long now!

[Cha]

46. "I was done with him in 2016 when he encouraged people to vote third party"

Link to tweet

[NurseJackie]

47. I've never been too thrilled or impressed with him...

... something about him never sat-well with me.

[Cha]

51. I can see why.. somebody

here posted he "..likes the attention he gets from playing the contrarian".

That seems vapid to me.

[NurseJackie]

53. That's an apt description.

[Cha]

54. Ah Aloha, Jackie!

[cwydro]

48. I've disliked him ever since he called the moron "presidential."

Can’t stand him, but I’ve seem him practically adored here by some.

[Cha]

49. Wonder if those here who like

Van Jones.. like him now with this statement about impeachment?

[cwydro]

50. I imagine they'll be quiet as little church mice lol.

Funny how that happens.

[Cha]

52. Yeah, 'cause it seems everybody here

wanted the Impeachment inquiries to commence!

It's about the law and the Constitution

[cwydro]

55. It absolutely is.

Pelosi is doing the right thing.

And the moron will continue to hang himself as she plays out the rope.

[we can do it]

56. Been done with that ass since at least 2016.

[Hoyt]

57. Was anyone here actually convinced by Van Jones saying a good thing about trump?

I think most people are smart enough to know BS when they hear it. I also think most people say some things that are wrong if they talk enough.

A lot of good Democrats are not sure Impeachment is right thing, although a lot less are concerned after past few weeks.

Jones is probably wrong here, but that’s OK.

[Cha]

58. Van Jones says too many wrong things..

All of this thread is DONE with him because of his stupid statement on Impeachment.. "..lose lose".

Van Jones is "Lose Lose".

[Hoyt]

59. I don't tune in to watch him, but don't have a problem ignoring

what he says either, when he’s wrong. Don’t need everyone to nod their heads in agreement with what I believe.

Sometimes — perhaps you are thinking, a lot of times — I’m wrong and need to consider other views. Jones is not like listening to a GOPer with bad intentions.

[True Blue American]

69. I have even

Been watching Shep Smith to see what he says.3 PM.

I could not stand Tucker when he was on Crossfire. I do remember him saying something about eating his shoe and Hillary surprised him with a Right Wing tip shoe cake!

[Hoyt]

79. +1. I don't mind other opinions, although I won't listen to Hannity, Limbaugh, FOX racists, etc.

I'd probably have a hard time keeping from punching them if I ran across them in public.

But, I don't have that ire for Van Jones, Michael Steele, a few sensible right leaners on other outlets, etc. And I like to see clips from FOX when they are freaking out.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

60. Van Jones has been saying crazy stuff for a while

He said at a GOP event that the GOP is leading on criminal justice reform. Everybody thought that was a crazy inaccurate thing to say. I mean Democrats can be doing a lot more on that front, but to say the GOP is leading is just ridiculous.

[ecstatic]

78. And didn't he coin the term "nothingburger"

in reference to the Russian collusion investigation? That's another thing that pissed me off.

[MoonRiver]

61. Ugh, WHAT is his problem?

[dalton99a]

62. Fuck that useful idiot

[comradebillyboy]

77. I don't remember the time when Van Jones wasn't full of shit...

[miyazaki]

87. Lol. Van is like one wrong conclusion over and over again.

[MontanaMama]

80. Impeachment is a lose lose for Dems, how?

Dems doing their job of oversight is a lose lose? For whom? I watched this twice and none of it makes sense. Van is an idiot. It’s only a losing situation for MF45 and his merry band of traitors. STFU Van.

[Cha]

85. Exactly, MontanaMama.. Thank You!

It makes no sense except if he's trying to help trump.

[MontanaMama]

86. You have to wonder what would make

him say something like this...it doesn't make him relevant, it makes him look like stooge. Aloha Cha!

[Cha]

91. Aloha, MontanaMama!

Agree!

[brush]

82. I don't pay attention to him since he said during the campaign that trump "finally became...

presidential." He curries favor too much with repugs for my taste. And what a silly comment, if we didn't impeach many Dem voters would be so upset that would be the real lose/lose situation.

If Jones doesn't see the corruption and utter unfitness for office of trump you have to wonder what his agenda is.

[OnDoutside]

89. Van is CNN's Enabler in Chief, ineffectual at holding RWNJs to account.
