Joy Reid Went There Trump Strutting On That Stage Hurling Insults

"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...

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 executive’s Twitter handle (like Phil Griffin’s). OR, if you’re chewing out Andrea Mitchell and you add Jake Tapper’s Twitter handle or George Stephanopoulos’s or John King’s or Anderson Cooper’s or somebody else’s. That way her competition seems it. It’s like cc’ing 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 they’d published and knew what the paper got wrong, and she provided proof. She cc’d 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 somebody’s Twitter Page, you can go on Twitter and at the upper right, type in their name in “Search Twitter” and it’ll come up. OR, even simpler, Google is your friend.

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.

Sun Mar 11, 2018, 05:06 PM
Mar 2018

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.

The main focus is not on Hitler himself but the machinations and the infighting and backbiting of his inner circle. It’s quite fascinating.
I’ll confess I’m 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 he’ll never have a Circle of Evil. A Parade of Fools would be more like it.

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?
