We should all remember that more people did not vote in the presidential election than the number of votes for either party. We need to figure out why that number is so large and what can be done to educate Americans. Meanwhile, we're all going to suffer the next four years, and more from the after effects, due to more than one third of our eligibile voters failing to vote!!
I have some sympathy for those who feel that they cannot afford the time to wait at the polling place (and possibly endure crazy people accosting them while they do so), potentially for hours, in order to cast their ballot. It's actually sickening that voting is deliberately made more onorous by the people responsible for running it because they directly politically benefit by doing so. That sort of corruption (or at the very least, mismanagement) is the sort of thing that an engaged populace would be outraged by and take action against. Unfortunately, most Americans are either passive (so much for the self-image the US tries to paint) or so nakedly biased they have no problem with corruption as long as 'their' side benefits.
voting in the USA is broken, and has been for a long time - "popular" vote should be the only way, and need to dissolve the Electoral College system that literally censors millions of voters. Voting was made harder by the GOP in every way they could - and the US needs to get rid of "parties" = that is a scam system to keep the public busy bickering amongst each other picking sides, while nothing gets done... a one-body parliament that works for the people is required, NOT a Dictator wanna-be in office. ...Personally, I don't think the USA will survive the next 4 years with that dangerous psychopath at the helm, and all of his enabler lackys grasping for favor and power will bring the USA to its knees as they spend this nation into the ground.

Senator Thune, being from a MAGA domain like South Dakota, will not stand in Trump's way at any time.

It may be difficult to create a worse presidential transition than the last one, but I'm sure that trump will do his best to surpass his last performance... he'll have "only the best people", I would imagine.
These national security appointments are not only strikingly unqualified, but I also believe they lack the integrity required for high office, carrying an excessive amount of baggage.

Because the oligarchs have paid for him to be there and do his bidding. If they get rid of Trump, the person who won the forward to Project 2025 takes office with immunity. It’s Oligarchs vs Project 2025 all hiding behind a “banner” of MAGA. This is what was voted for.

The debt issue is less a spending issue than an income issue. Just think how much the Reagan, Bush and Trump tax cuts + the SS taxes cap have shortened the US finances. This is more than the current debt. Working people did not profit from these tax loopholes, only passive income earners did.

Not half. 80 out of 340 million is roughly 1/4 of the population. Too many stayed home so there isn’t a true picture of what the population wanted. But ya got what ya got
That's MAGA's response to what was an intelligent and competent black president. "Give us the best, smartest black man you can find and we'll prove where the power is and always has been by responding with the stupidest and most incompetent white man in the country."
Gavin Newsom and his DEI hired Mayor and Fire chef just cost 250 billion dollars in California!!! Trump won because people are tired of the lefts attack on humanity! Gavin cut the Fire fighters funding by 101 million dollars and opened the dams to the reservoirs that fed the Pacific Palisades!!! STF up about Trump stupid!

Conservative- Democrat- WHOEVER! The whole point of your local and state elected officials is to make sure that the most fundamental / functional safety needs of the community are met before any pet projects. Tax paying citizens are the bill payers for the community they live in, they have a right to demand that their elected officials are taking care of these most fundamental aspects of public safety, water - fire management , community management growth needs are addressed and met before anything else. Especially if the state has had repeated disastrous and devastating fires, and not taking action to mitigate to the fullest extent with forestry/ fire management- water appropriation- is completely reprehensible. This is devastating and heartbreaking for the people who lost everything... Imagine, your insurance was cancelled because your elected officials didn't do fire control due diligence and now you can't rebuild because you are a regular everyday hardworking tax payer who now can't afford to rebuild and has lost everything. CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.. Beyond unacceptable!!! Think about the who you vote for and their priorities.
This is top notch reporting , an indepth analysis of the issue at stake . Every detail opens the eyes and minds of us the listeners and we are well educated of the nefarious and criminal activities of the would be leaders of the forthcoming administration . So sad that American can degenerate to this lowest status , where men and women of lowest esteem are gearing to occupy exalted positions of authority . What happens to the old glory ?
Why has Trump not used the Proudboys to stand over the members of Congress to get his picks through? He did this for the J6 session in 2021 to try to retain powef! 🤣
Some people choose evil to gain self- esteem, to live up to a grandiose self-image. Trump, supporter are not going to gain a dime off of his term in office. It won't be long before they realize we were right all along, their maga media played them.
What would you expect from a Reality TV Show host? Your Country has less than 4 years to sort out this crap or be disowned by the rest of the free World.
I am old enough to bear witness that Donald Trump has been classless and tacky for his entire life. Also, I find it ironic that being extremely wealthy gives one the ability to buy etiquette lessons - to remedy the classlessness and tackiness - but Donald has never been intelligent or wise enough to reach that level of self-awareness. In any case, now I understand his MAGA followers and loyalists much better. Because they often seem to agree with the notion that "He is like me", which tends to confuse rational people. The reason that they say this because they relate strongly to someone who is as classless and tacky as they are, regardless of the wealth disparity that separates them.
Glad you're back for the first 100 days to keep us informed! Sounds like he's pulling grift 2.0- he'll put them in as temporary, bypassing the need for confirmation & we'll have the same mess as before. God help us....
Do people not realise that Trump was just asked to make a speech on Jan 6th ? He was just in the Whitehouse eating a burger when someone said 'Donald there is a crowd outside, for some reason, and they want you to make a speech. ' 'A speech? About what? What is that crowd there for? Oh well, let me finish this burger and I suppose I will make some kind of a speech or something. I wish people would like give me some warning about these things. ' Anyhoo Don generously just went down and made some kind of speech about something (and equally generously his son's girlfriend made a speech too, and only asked for a mere $60,000 in return). Don then said he would go to the Capital , he was not sure why of course, but realised he could do with another burger and a coke so he returned to the oval office. Anyway he needed to sort through top secret documents to steal.
You mean like how she and the other Democratic Party propagandists at her network completely ignored or called a "right-wing conspiracy" any suggestion that the president has been in obvious mental decline these last four years?
What ever happens to our next 4 years it will bo on the hands just knowing you all let trump and his clowns hurt and destroy but one woman couldve stopped it judge cannon needs to be removed from the bench she doesn't know how to do her job unless its giving trump a big pass to everything our country holds dear!!

And Mitch McConnell, who claimed that his no longer being in leadership will free him to speak his mind and be independent and candid, will simply sit in his place in the Senate chamber and finish growing old.
Both are bought and paid for,
GO RACHEL!!!! Maddow has continued to be solid reliable must see (as TV "news" goes these days.)
Is that why his ratings are in the toilet? Nobody is watching this obvious propaganda and blatant lies.
She's spoonfed you complete BS and you keep eating it!!! Gavin Newsom costed California 250 billion dollars for his complete negligence. Thank God for America saving Democracy 312 to 226 landslide victory.
hahahahahaha !!!
You mean so TH-camrs can make fun of her?
There is no bigger disseminator of disinformation and lies in corporate media than Rachel Maddow although her colleague Morning Joke is a close second.
I love your bluntness and honesty. Please keep it coming!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.

As a Canadian, we do as a majority consider USA as a 3rd world country when trump is in power. So no, we are better than to be a state. Best of luck to you.
Meanwhile your truly awesome PM crashes out of politics leaving behind a depleted treasury, bloated bureaucracy and sky-high living costs. Nice of you to turn up your nose at American politics when your own country has turned into a stinking pile of refuse.
I cry for my country. . .
So for the record, the US was in worse shape from 2016 to 2020 than 2021 to present? Is that correct?

What a sad embarrassing time for decent Americans.
Let’s hope we all survive his criminality and ineptitude!
@@OchannelUSA By some measures,yes.For instance,Trump’s bungled response to the pandemic or the consequences of his support of the dictators Putin,Xi,Kim,Orban and bin Salman.
It may be difficult to create a worse presidential transition than the last one, but I'm sure that trump will do his best to surpass his last performance... he'll have "only the best people", I would imagine.
These people are not qualified in the least. They have no experience or expertise in these areas therefore cannot be confirmed.
That’s why he wants them.
In Trump's mind loyalty overrides any qualification for any position within America's highest office.🙄
These national security appointments are not only strikingly unqualified, but I also believe they lack the integrity required for high office, carrying an excessive amount of baggage.
@@sunlion8866 You are too kind, they are nothing but criminals.

Shocking, and shameful. Shows you that having money does not automatically impart class, or common sense.
Rest assured, there won't be any so-called DEI highers in the second Trump administration! 😕😕😕🇺🇲
And this just the start of the Chaos!!
Totally agreed!
What a nightmare.
Trump is a nightmare. Our country dignity will never come back after this trump fella. America is nothing these days. Or should I say it's people are nothing these days.
Question. Could the US Military replace Trump and his maggots if they indeed put America in harms way. I for one certainly hope so.
Not according to the Constitution.
@@marcilk7534 Well trump and friends ignore the constitution when it suits their purpose. Its time for true patriots to rise up and put a stop to this nonsense. But that wont happen, America is finished, the fat lady is singing at the inauguration.

Why isn’t something happening to stop all this! Obviously the guy is not fit to lead anything!
its called a march and dems hav done nothing to arrange a march or protest or pressure on politicians in the way that maga always manages to pressure everyone and win. WE ARE FAILING and you are failing because youre asking instead of doing. If we dont mobilize asap we will have nothing to join together for because they are coming for us all 1 by 1 individually.
What you are seeing is the result of America's unwillingness to tell the truth.
Because the oligarchs have paid for him to be there and do his bidding. If they get rid of Trump, the person who won the forward to Project 2025 takes office with immunity.
It’s Oligarchs vs Project 2025 all hiding behind a “banner” of MAGA. This is what was voted for.
Nothing!!!
What exactly do you think that something would be? The time to do that was back in November.
Citizens and Officers died and 140 Police officers were beaten and brutalized because of his ego and inability to say he lost ! All this happened and people lost their lives because he couldn't shake his opponents hand and admit that he lost.
Thanks Rachel Maddow for speaking the truth :D
Thank you Rachael for being here to tell the truth… again! 💔Sometimes we do what we do because it is where we just have to be to bear whiteness…. And hope that the community comes in to do something.
Here's the truth, woke policies and DEI hires just costed 250 billion dollars in California!!! Gavin Newsom draining the reservoirs leaves no water in the hydrants, cut the Fire fighters funding last budget by 100 million dollars, and buys a 9 million dollar home on 180 grand a year salary!! DEI hired Mayor and Fire chef won't be fired! Where's the Epstein list of Laptops??? 10% for the big guy Burisma
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
The debt issue is less a spending issue than an income issue. Just think how much the Reagan, Bush and Trump tax cuts + the SS taxes cap have shortened the US finances. This is more than the current debt. Working people did not profit from these tax loopholes, only passive income earners did.
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for six months to raise about $30k to start investing with Tracy Britt Cool. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here
How can i reach this Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, if you don't mind me asking? I've known her by her reputation at Berkshire Hathaway
Well her name is 'Tracy Britt Cool Consulting'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
Out of curiosity i looked up Tracy Britt Cool Consulting and she's known for her impressive career. She has served as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway-owned Pampered Chef and has been recognized as one of Warren Buffett's protégés.
Sorry Rachel. His behaviour, values and lack of competence are appealing to almost half of the American population.
Not half. 80 out of 340 million is roughly 1/4 of the population. Too many stayed home so there isn’t a true picture of what the population wanted. But ya got what ya got
That's MAGA's response to what was an intelligent and competent black president.
"Give us the best, smartest black man you can find and we'll prove where the power is and always has been by responding with the stupidest and most incompetent white man in the country."
ARE THEY CRIMINALS
IF YES THEY ARE QUALIFIED
CRIMINALS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
Just like the mafia.
Another way to look at his picks: a group of crows is called a murder of crows! REALLY!
They are potential criminals and may soon be the real thing.
Only if they look good on TV
When Trump hits the bottom he just grabs a bigger shovel...
Gavin Newsom and his DEI hired Mayor and Fire chef just cost 250 billion dollars in California!!! Trump won because people are tired of the lefts attack on humanity! Gavin cut the Fire fighters funding by 101 million dollars and opened the dams to the reservoirs that fed the Pacific Palisades!!! STF up about Trump stupid!

Give him a chance to be worse, because I'd bet money he's going to hock junk the whole time he's in office.

Interesting that Rupert Murdoch and E Musk are American Citizens by investments. They are Americans because of favourable business policy not because of American ideals. Another two people that are transactional.
They hold more than one passport. Can never run for Office but are puppet masters.

The only hope is that, because the transition is so shambolic nothing will actually get done in govrrnment.

Did Donald sign the Ethics MOU yet??! They were due by October 1, 2024. (Memoranda Of Understanding)

Conservative- Democrat- WHOEVER! The whole point of your local and state elected officials is to make sure that the most fundamental / functional safety needs of the community are met before any pet projects. Tax paying citizens are the bill payers for the community they live in, they have a right to demand that their elected officials are taking care of these most fundamental aspects of public safety, water - fire management , community management growth needs are addressed and met before anything else. Especially if the state has had repeated disastrous and devastating fires, and not taking action to mitigate to the fullest extent with forestry/ fire management- water appropriation- is completely reprehensible. This is devastating and heartbreaking for the people who lost everything... Imagine, your insurance was cancelled because your elected officials didn't do fire control due diligence and now you can't rebuild because you are a regular everyday hardworking tax payer who now can't afford to rebuild and has lost everything. CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.. Beyond unacceptable!!! Think about the who you vote for and their priorities.
Now if we can get rid of either RFK, Jr. or Hegseth. Or both!
Both will be confirmed

I think theyre stalling so trump can call for a national emergency and push all his picks through.
The unserious cabinet picks show how quickly they step over competence to bang the Trump drum.
“Classless and tacky.” And the people eat it up 😞

This is top notch reporting , an indepth analysis of the issue at stake . Every detail opens the eyes and minds of us the listeners and we are well educated of the nefarious and criminal activities of the would be leaders of the forthcoming administration . So sad that American can degenerate to this lowest status , where men and women of lowest esteem are gearing to occupy exalted positions of authority . What happens to the old glory ?
We survived a non binary man that steals women's clothing holding the nuclear codes. I think we'll be ok with patriots
Why has Trump not used the Proudboys to stand over the members of Congress to get his picks through? He did this for the J6 session in 2021 to try to retain powef! 🤣

What would you expect from a Reality TV Show host? Your Country has less than 4 years to sort out this crap or be disowned by the rest of the free World.
Trump can't stoop much lower.
I am surprised he has not sold a T-shirt with the word: Convicted President with his picture in orange suit 😮
What happened to the axe throwing TV weekend newsman who has a drinking problem?? Don't tell he's still on the list.
You all KNOW what he's going to do. You all KNOW what usa is going to go through. Get out, Rachel, while you still can!!!
I know what he's said. I also know that none of that is all that easy to accomplish. Confer "I will repeal Obamacare."

You think Don wants his own Ukraine? Sure acts like it.
He thinks it's spelled C-A-N-A-D-A
Our military will not listen to him...he is insane!
I am old enough to bear witness that Donald Trump has been classless and tacky for his entire life. Also, I find it ironic that being extremely wealthy gives one the ability to buy etiquette lessons - to remedy the classlessness and tackiness - but Donald has never been intelligent or wise enough to reach that level of self-awareness.
In any case, now I understand his MAGA followers and loyalists much better. Because they often seem to agree with the notion that "He is like me", which tends to confuse rational people. The reason that they say this because they relate strongly to someone who is as classless and tacky as they are, regardless of the wealth disparity that separates them.
Unvetted candidate worked SO well with Sarah Palin. Let's do all of them that way...

She is back because she has to be. Not because she wants to. Plus a 5 million dollar pay cut to boot.
Do people not realise that Trump was just asked to make a speech on Jan 6th ? He was just in the Whitehouse eating a burger when someone said
'Donald there is a crowd outside, for some reason, and they want you to make a speech. '
'A speech? About what? What is that crowd there for? Oh well, let me finish this burger and I suppose I will make some kind of a speech or something. I wish people would like give me some warning about these things. '
Anyhoo Don generously just went down and made some kind of speech about something (and equally generously his son's girlfriend made a speech too, and only asked for a mere $60,000 in return). Don then said he would go to the Capital , he was not sure why of course, but realised he could do with another burger and a coke so he returned to the oval office. Anyway he needed to sort through top secret documents to steal.
My guess - there won't be hearings - trump will just appoint by executive order
We need your voice !!!
Send this to every trump supporters you know , see what they say now !
Thank you Rachel🙏for keeping us informed of the inane shenanigans happening in our government💙🙏🇺🇸
You mean like how she and the other Democratic Party propagandists at her network completely ignored or called a "right-wing conspiracy" any suggestion that the president has been in obvious mental decline these last four years?
