Election night, 2016. Richard Engel of NBC News was right.

1. Wow on youtube there are three times as many downvotes as upvotes

Yet what he said was mostly true.

18. Bots, web brigades, tRumpanzees. Easily done. Meaningless online votes. . . . nt

23. The trolls and gaslighters of the "alt-right" have colonized the Internet.

24. And a decent percentage of them are non-English speakers

About 20% of them have weird use of phrases or conjugation of verbs that show they're obvious non-native English speakers, seemingly Russian or eastern European. This was even more prevalent before the election.

There was one of them on the Washington Post board that kept referring to Hillary as "the housewife". Saw this kind of stuff a ton before the election.

4. Kick. n/t

5. Good commentary. Dead on. n/t

6. Good to hear, at least, the Generals were reading the constitution,

to help figure out their obligations.

7. I Love Richard Engel

I always hope for his safety when covering stories in war-torn countries.

8. Amazing

It is amazing how right he was. If I had been watching him that night I might have thought he was overreacting. However, just about everything he said has come true.

[Ilsa]

9. The bozos who voted for him don't think their best interests

are even similar to the best interests of our allies or the world. Their mindset is like Trump's: if there are winners, there must be losers.

10. Two words stood out, "illegal" and "immoral".

Three words he didn't get around to are "Party Over Country".

[roamer65]

11. The part where he says "six months to one year"...

Here we are at seven months and his words are haunting.

12. Wow. Robert Engel definitely knew what was to come.

[FreepFryer]

13. I remember when he said this. He knows Putinism when he sees it. (n/t)

14. I for one didn't sleep that night

16. Wow. Was HE right! nt

17. Pretty solid read early on

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. It took courage to say that live on national tv, in the heat of the event. Here's courage for you.

Resist, persist, triumph.

21. He sure was. Posted a longer, though harder to hear, video of this in November

Along with a description of that segment and a bit after it.

22. Wow!! Thats some crystal ball he was using!!

25. NBC is partially responsible. Had Luntz, Federalist, Reason on that night

Love Engel - this is great stuff.



But I watched NBC that night. They had on
Frank Luntz
Editor of the Federalist
Writer for Reason

Those guys ARE. NOT. journalists. They are not honest. They put party before country. They are purchased by the dozen GOP donor billionaires that run the GOP today. Those guys CREATED the conditions that Trump thrived in.

As long as Frank Luntz and the Federalist can be taken seriously by NBC, America has a big big problem.
