"Images of him walking around that stage and the people behind him just enraptured jumping up and down hooting and hollering while he is hurling insults as you said primarily at women but also at elected officials people who are dually elected representatives in the first branch of government. The article one power of the United states and I'm conscious of the fact that people around the world can see this. This is not video that's just playing in the United States the whole world is watching this display not just Donald Trump but of Americans. Are you concerned (Maxine) that this is what the world thinks of us now?
VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT / QUESTION Joy...

I don't think so.
trump is the one who should be embarrassed, as he hoists himself on his own petard once again. This is all on him.

(90,074 posts)First thing Id do is replace Andrea but her emails Mitchell with Joy Reid.
Joy Reid needs a full-time time slot. WE need for Joy Reid to have a full-time tie slot! Best interviewer on any network. She suffers no fools. Unlike Mitchell, who IS one.
I can dream, cant I?

(319,163 posts)a free media.. like back in the day when it was just NEWS. Not chasing down trump rallies for ratings.
Walter Cronkite, Edward R Murrow, and like minded news people.
Joy would fit right in.

(90,074 posts)On Twitter you can post a tweet and add a @msnbc to the end of it. Or add another MSNBC anchor or an NBC News executives Twitter handle (like Phil Griffins). OR, if youre chewing out Andrea Mitchell and you add Jake Tappers Twitter handle or George Stephanopouloss or John Kings or Anderson Coopers or somebody elses. That way her competition seems it. Its like ccing other management in a complaint letter.
When Greta Van Susteren briefly marred the MSNBC lineup, I send some complaining tweets and added Phil Griffin, MSNBC, and @maddow, because Rachel Maddow was hyping her so much. Others need to see it, too.
I read awhile ago that some woman wrote a complaint letter to the New York Times. She disagreed with something theyd published and knew what the paper got wrong, and she provided proof. She ccd her letter to the newspaper known as the NYTimes biggest rival - the Washington Post. Basically, in effect, dragged the offenders out into the public square in front of their competitors. The results were that a humiliated and chastened NYTimes printed a correction straight away.
To find somebodys Twitter Page, you can go on Twitter and at the upper right, type in their name in Search Twitter and itll come up. OR, even simpler, Google is your friend.

(3,515 posts)It's an excellent film on the movement that Hitler led, the people who supported him and how they got where they did.
It did not happen overnight. We are just beginning to go that route.
It's a very important series.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)gathered up the entire conservative right by playing on strong populist anxieties and using the same moderate-sounding appeals Ronald Reagan did -- "old-time" values, traditional religion, national security, hate speech eliminated or ratcheted up depending on audience.
Critically, they also used stronger language and differing arguments (including adopting the word "socialist" into their party name) to draw in the farther left groups.
And in a time of great anxiety, that was the fatal majority the National Socialist Party was able to field against Germany's liberals and un-fooled moderate conservatives. If it were to happen here, that would be how. That is the majority that destroys democracies.

(3,515 posts)Nuremburg, against which there were protests.
Hitler used the protests at the rally as an excuse to arrest people and increase the oppression and violence against any movement that opposed him.
Trump is following Hitler with his military parade. In my opinion, the military parade planned for later this year by Trump is not about the military. It is about bringing out opposition to the parade and using that event as an excuse to oppress opposition to him.
That's my rather (admittedly dark and maybe even paranoid) thought about that military parade. But Trump is not organizing that parade for no reason and not organizing it just for his own glory. I think he figures it will draw a lot of opposition and then he can use it as an excuse to arrest the opposition.
In other words, the events of last years with the NAZI march was just a trial balloon.
Instead of opposing his parade, we should organize voter registration drives and go door to door to hand out information about Democratic candidates on Veteran's Day when he plans the parade. We should boycott the parade.
argyl
(3,064 posts)The main focus is not on Hitler himself but the machinations and the infighting and backbiting of his inner circle. Its quite fascinating.
Ill confess Im about three episodes shy of completion but there is a lot of information I had no idea about.
Looks like the way people are leaving Trump hell never have a Circle of Evil. A Parade of Fools would be more like it.

(31,261 posts)We need to set out differences aside at critical times (like during General elections) and fucking crush them so badly that hopelessness engulf their whole being. Failure of us to crush them mercilously and toss them backward is going to usher in dark ages. Fuck their humanity, they don't care about anyone else's.

(90,074 posts)I keep going back to the question that I'm starting to feel less and less guilty about:
"So what does that say about THEM?"
I DO blame the willfully ignorant, racist, sexist deplorables who have no problem supporting a treasonous liar. Joe Biden said if this is true (colluding with the Russians to steal the election for trump), it's TREASON. And turns out it WAS true and IS true. They're okay with "grab 'em by the pussy" and "if we have nukes why can't we use them?" And they still voted for this beast, and still support him.
Look at it this way: If you take out all the occurrences of "trump" in the countless and growing references of the many crimes he's committed or been party to or sanctioned - and insert either "Obama" or "Hillary," what do you think they'd be doing? How do you think they'd be reacting?

I keep getting the feeling I'm being assaulted by someone saying, It's ok; just don't fight it it and you will feel no pain."
Honestly, I believe when trumpers fully realize Putin is our new overlord, they will just respond, "Don't fight it.and there will be no pain..."
Of course he will purge gays, Jews, free media...

Now they react with an ominous reminder of what Europe and the rest of the world went through because of national socialism- Nazi. We have a very dangerous demagogue here who is clearly playing from that book. November will be our defining moment.

(8,999 posts)and my European friends have been baffled since 2015 by his run and win in the election.
They don't believe for a second that he represents America.
They compare him to Berlusconi in Italy.
They know Putin put him there by hook or crook.
They love America, love Americans and hate this guy just as much as the rest of us here on DU.

(24,722 posts)in Australia and New Zealand and I cant tell you how many people have taken my arm, leaned in and asked me what in the AF is going on in your country? Seriously. Folks here are sad for America and confused as to how this happened. They despise the Dotard and theyre embarrassed for us. However, they also embrace a this too shall pass attitude which has been interesting to witness. While I miss my pets and my friends...Im not quite ready to come home.

I do hope that they are right and that "this too shall pass," and that we will get out of this nightmare with our country in reparable shape.

Tell your network that Fux Ruse wouldn't have shown Obama at a Dem campaign rally for over an hour right before an election!
MSNBC (212) 664-6605
CNN (404) 827-1500

(76,742 posts)On one occasion for sure, HRC was in the middle of a speech laying out her economic policy ideas. She's 20 to 25 minutes from the end of her speech and MSNBC cut to an empty podium that was still empty for 3 minutes after HRC's speech ended!
They could have shown the entire speech and STILL switched to an empty podium.

From the little I saw this one like the last few looked like there werent many people there since they only showed a small segment of people around 🍊💩 who were prolly paid to be there imo.
