Steve Schmidt: By A fluke, Voters Elected An Imbecilic Con Man Morning Joe MSNBC

[bucolic_frolic]

"a crisis that Trump created"

the U.S. global order is in peril

the decline of the United States has begun

chilling.

This second video is perhaps the most important, in my opinion, of this year. This is where it's all going, this is what's on the line, this what we're fearing and fighting and not getting any help from the GOP

Steve Schmidt: GOP Is "A Threat To Liberal Democracy" | All In | MSNBC

[raging moderate]

1. It was not a fluke; the GOP did it on purpose.

This was very carefully orchestrated, and Mitch McConnell clearly knew for sure, a year beforehand, that the fix was in.

3. +1

[CentralMass]

2. K&R

[spooky3]

4. And kudos to Scarborough for starting the clip with #s

Call out Trump’s lies about the economy and immigration under Obama.

[guillaumeb]

5. A fluke?

The GOP has been electing racists since 1968. Thousands of flukes are not flukes, they are evidence that the GOP is the party for racists.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. He is referencing the 78,000 votes in PA MI MN as the fluke, I think

[guillaumeb]

13. My point remains. eom

[amywalk]

15. And that's not a fluke. The Russians knew how to hack our machines. They had them delivered on

A silver platter from the GOP. They changed just enough votes so as not to trigger an automatic recount. They’ve been planning this for years. They even planned this Supreme Court take over. It’s a coup.

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Aside from an inaccuracy, I completely agree.

There is published evidence of Russian saturation of social media through micro targeting, but no published evidence of changing the voting machine numbers by Russians, although I think that a lot of evidence is still secretly held.

7. And where did DT get all of his anti-American ideas?

From the Russian oligarchs, of course!

11. He's very diplomatic

Given the chance to use the word 'traitor' or 'treason', he won't go there, and uses the example of the last charge of treason against the Rosenbergs in 1950. He dismisses the present as inappropriate for a charge of treason because we are not at war. But we are at war. We are under cyberattack, our institutions are under full throttle assault by a hostile foreign power, and our government is, basically, standing down. And Nance admits this.

[ginnyinWI]

24. Well technically it isn't treason, but

there are plenty of other names you can give behavior like this.

Anti-American, for one.

[bucolic_frolic]

25. You're right, that is a legal term, here's the origin of the idea as a current concept

Link to tweet

Back in 1950, the bombshell arrest of Julius & Ethel Rosenberg as traitors & Kremlin spies would have appeared troubling & out of absolutely nowhere -- a sinister FBI plot, even -- unless you were one of the very, very few Americans cleared for VENONA. Consider that a #HINT.

Link to tweet

Sure are. Ditto with Hayden. They're both leaning forward, dropping easy-to-read hints of TS/SCI behind Mueller's green door. You know why? BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING.

I'm sure some people on here don't like that I post Schindler. Because he's a middle-right intelligence community type. But he's also a heavyweight in the arena, it's his whole life.

TS/SCI btw is Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmental Information

Don't blame me, I just see and post what makes sense to me.

8. Dotard Flukeman! Should have left him in sewer!

[TrollBuster9090]

9. Unfortunately, all the GOP base will hear is the word 'liberal,' and say "GOOD!" nt

[pangaia]

16. That is so true..."Liberal" and 'socialist' now. They have no idea what they are talking about..

(about which they talk... )

[Sprite]

10. I am sorry but

Steve Schmidt gave us Sarah Palin. He also put John Roberts on the court. He needs to apologize. I know he is given up the Republican party but I am still a little mad at him. I guess I need to forgive.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Don't fight old fights

and realize we have bigger fish to fry at the present that threatens our very survival as a democracy. Get your priorities in order.

[Sprite]

20. You are right. Thanks.

[nycbos]

14. There is a Churchill quote that gives me hope for the future.

"Americans will always do the right thing after the've tried everything else"

[Sprite]

19. Got it. Thanks. I needed that.

[calimary]

18. Just Plain Horriying.

I am more horrified now, about current events and what's going on in Washington DC, than I've ever been. Ever in my life. And I'm 65 this year.

[bucolic_frolic]

26. It is difficult to compare to Watergate

because the public was being told so little back then. Now we know everything, and these are more extreme political times. On Twitter, leaders in the neverTrumpers continue to reassure. We'll get through this. They know more than us, but I can relate to your horror and fear. I have doubts. Get a grip. We're useless if frightened into inaction.

[RandomAccess]

21. I just bet there are

more people who'd like to see this.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. You mean

more people who'd like to see the video, or more Republicans who'd like to see the collapse of our Democracy?

In the former case, have at it! Post the link to any site or email list you have time for and knowledge of.

If the latter, you're right. That's why we have to fight hard and post links such as these. Everywhere.

[RandomAccess]

23. Just a fancy -- and apparently oblique - way of saying K&R
