Remember when we used to make fun of the communists for putting unqualified political commissars in charge of random stuff they knew nothing about and dragging their entire system's ethics, efficiency, and efficacy down with it? Looks like the commissars are going to get the last laugh after all...
The moment people voted for Trump was the end of America. Yall thought this was a joke. This is how autocratic banana republics are created. Buckle up!
Yeah, and not Biden authorizing deep strikes with Western missiles and kill chains into Russia and now talk of giving Ukraine back the nukes it lost. You peole are out of your fucking minds.
And to he already started the process during his first term! He is a Destroyer and goes everywhere with the South African jumping Jellybean Musk. The US government subsidized this freak to the guy billions! He is not a smart guy just born with Silver spoon and totally subsidized by the US government!
I would love to see Biden pass the torch to Kamala for the remainder of his term,and make her the first female president. She would be able to do some critical things that would enhance Democracy. Pardon some people and take the heat off Biden. She would become 47, making a lot of tRump hats useless. This would also have the extra benefit of very good security for her and her family.
On Jan 6th instead of validation of votes our full congress seating should be made, and a silent/ blind ballot to refuse seating of the insurrectionist.
Yes, it would be nice, but Biden is not ingenious enough for such a good idea. Not to mention he probably won't even pardon his son out of a false sense of duty.
Starting with Ronald Reagan, the conservative wingnuts started f*cking with the American education system. This is what we've got to deal with... dammit.
It's always been an issue that most Americans neither care for what's happening abroad nor (are able to?) learn from history and/or other countries mistakes.
People will look back nostalgically at the calm and tranquillity and prosperity of the Biden years as they live through the chaos and turmoil of the Trump years.
That is delusional thinking. It’s exactly what you said in 2016 and here we are in 2024 where much of the country looks back on the first term of Trump as a more prosperous time for them than under Biden. If you spend the next 4 years doing no introspection and just relying on the hope that everything crashes and burns, then be prepared to do another 4 years of that afterwards.
I have all the votes I need’ and ‘you’ll never have to vote again’ So so many repubs created groups saying they’d Never vote for the loser ever again The red mirage didn’t happen - definitely Should have, what with chumps voters just Dying to get their vote in First on election day. Zero valid reason to vote for the clown beyond his base supports So many many valid Reasons Not to vote for him. Yet, somehow he won All swing States + popular vote. Whole thing utterly makes Zero Sense. Logic says it Stinks frankly So yeah, an investigation would be great
My husband served in the marines and the national guard. He assures me that the military will continue to obey the oath to the constitution. He served in the 70s and 80s. I want to have the faith he has.
I have seen the level of intelligence of the common American. To believe they have the mental capacity to know right from wrong, to know to disobey an order, is like trusting a broken reed to hold ones own weight. It is folly.
Trump said he would replace the Army generals with his loyalists. America is slowly heading as an authoritarian Republic with Trump, president for life. Not to forget that Trump is well above the law, with his court cases about to be dismissed and immune by his SCOTUS. Well done ,Donald.
Will Republicans realize that Trump is a lame duck. They have four years to turn the party into something besides MAGA. Because MAGA without Trump will lose.
@@garybryson1900 You truly don't understand what is happening do you? You really think this just about Liberals/ democrats losing a election and now your groceries are going to get cheaper.
MAGA and Trump are not traditional Republicans nor constitutional conservatives. They do not represent American values, Christian values or familly values. They aren't fiscal conservatives and certainly not for the working class.
@@garybryson1900 as an independent voter, I want MAGA to lose too. There is not a patriotic bone in the MAGA party. They have not held accountable a man that tried to overthrow a free and fair election which is a disqualification in our Constitution.
Just a long post by a concerned/angry/appalled Norwegian onlooker who wishes you, and us all, the best. (Now you've been warned that it's long, and nope, nobody is forcing you to read it). Dear US citizens. There are a great number of you who have been/still are discovering disagreeable irregularities with your votes (they haven't been registered, or processed, or counted, and/or your entire voting history has been deleted). I've seen plenty of you complaining about/commenting on this, and some of you have replied to posts where I've mentioned the ugly issue, and you have told about your experiences. To you and innumerable more, including billions of your fellow World citizens across the globe, there is just too much about this election that has the results seem off, if not downright suspect as heck. No one should forget that trump (on various occasions) told his supporters that they didn't need to vote, that they had enough votes. Neither should anyone forget when (at his Madison Square rally) trump smugly blurted out that they have a little secret that will have them doing really well with the House, a little secret that is having a big impact. Nor should anyone ignore the fact that *TECH* billionaire Musk has had regular, direct contact with none other than Pootin. (trump himself has allegedly had direct contact with this despot on 7 occasions). Nor should the fact that there were numerous Russian originated bomb threats against polling places in swing states be ignored. Don't let yourself be too distracted (trump is no doubt aware that distracting people is exactly what he's doing now. Btw; does anyone else find it slightly odd that trump has hardly even been boasting/gloating about his supposed 'Sweeping Win?' Why has he been so uncharacteristically silent/modest?) by the current ongoing circus of trump's horrible appointees.... He has not yet been sworn in, and the fight can, and _needs to_ go on towards stopping that from happening. If you haven't already, you might like to look into some of the below-listed; On youtube : - Thom Hartmann, "Data scientist's shocking call for election recount raises scary questions" w/Stephen Spoonamore - Mark Thompson, "Did donald trump actually win? 2,7 provisional ballots were rejected" w/Greg Palast - Mark Thompson, "The election ain't over, Greg Palast: new details on ballots thrown out" - Secular talk, "Liberals say maga stole the election" - Mark Thompson, "Election Interference vs misinformation" w/Anthony Davis - Mark Thompson, "Did Elon Musk hack the election using his Starlink satellites?" - MeidasTouch, "trump-Biden meeting raises red flag for America" - Keith Olbermann, "Russia has committed an act of war against us" Movie : - "Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppresion Hitmen" Articles : - "America needs an official forensic audit into the US presidential election to save its democracy" , The Canary - "Cyber-security experts warn election was hacked" , Planet Critical Those who have stories of voting suppression/irregularities to tell; contact your local election offices, notify TV stations as well. And everyone who can needs to call/email their representatives and Senators, and, why not?; the White House. Use your voice, be many and loud, _insist._ *YOU* are the tens and tens of thousands who showed up for Harris and democracy at her rallies, *YOU* are the over 70 million who voted for her and democracy! Make them know you find this election highly suspect (there are reasons enough to pick from), and ask/urge them to have Kamala Harris know that *YOU,* the people/voters demand of her to request a recount! And demand a full and thorough investigation into this election! Again, reasons for this demand abounds. The time to fight back in this way is limited, so don't wait. But what we also have to remember is that Biden is still President, and he has been invested with great power... (The so-called Supreme Court's insane immunity ruling). While you are calling and emailing, don't hesitate to remind them/him about this. Implore of Biden to do what's necessary to at the _very least_ get out the real facts of this election before "graciously, peacefully, and honorably" handing over a perverse amount of power to the one who couldn't care less about grace, peacefulness, and honor, even much less about the Constitution, law and order, and the life and rights of _every single one_ (this includes his supporters) of *YOU,* the people. After all, basically the whole world, our planet, and our future are at stake now. Bless & Thank You

What an amazing fantastic post. I totally agree with you. But I fear this is a done deal as watching Biden welcome trump back just told me that nothing can stop this train wreck coming down the tracks. Your comment was so full of vital facts. Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@sandymcpartlon9972 I haven't heard of any investigations into possible election interference. I hope you are right!! I'll never forgive Biden/Harris if they just meekly turns our government over to trump/MAGA.
I wouldn’t count on that! His father lived to a ripe old age and had dementia in his later years. Besides, Vance isn’t exactly a better alternative, in my opinion!
I just can’t believe this is happening to us all. Did you guys see this morning in ABC morning news that a lot of chickens have the H1N1 bird flu and have to be put down so they said brace yourself if real high egg prices🙄…figures.

can you even believe so many voted for him? I don't get it. Look I get not liking what the Dems did this year but ....... to vote for Trump seems bonkers
@@dizzolveElon Musk made a statement saying anything can be hacked. And I think the richest man in the world with his Starlight satellite link and everything else it is disposal figured out a way to hack the boats in the swing States. When is the presidential election in the last decade or two been called in 4 to 6 hours? Especially since it's taking so long to count all the votes for all the congressional districts? It's computerized so every single race and should be available to call at the same time. I believe there's definitely something fishy done in this election because Trump kept saying you don't even need to vote I have all the boats I need we should have believed him and they should have started investigating back when he first said that
I think the Democratic Party should keep the same message and hold strong to its current values. We will see how we do and what ppl believe under a dictatorship. I appreciate the panel’s insights but this is a totally different time and era.
His cabinet selection is, indeed, a deliberate statement of breaking everything apart and was completely to be expected with a malignant narcissist because these cabinet leaders are completely cult-icized and are loyal.
Anyone remember Sherman Adams? He was chief of staff to President Eisenhower, and former governor of New Hampshire. His political career ended when he accepted the gift of a vicuña overcoat I think from a lobbyist. All it took was one coat to torpedo an otherwise illustrious career.
47:00 everyone is underestimating the dying of TV and the rapid growth of Internet ... and the fact that it carries the news of today. It's about media. That's what's different
I really appreciated this conversation between all of you today. I’m a very logical and pragmatic person and I prefer listening to people discuss topics without a ton of emotion and attacking of other people. I despise the kind of person that Trump is and also the rest of them who think that that is a great way to be. I can’t understand how that would ever be sustainable. so I’m hoping that he does what he always does and doubles down when he’s not supposed to and my hope is that it only screws those who have gone all in with him, regardless of the lawsuits and the past history versus harming other people such as immigrants and women and Transgender folks. I have had a personal experience with Trump back in the early 2000s at his Malibu golf course. It was not pretty and he is a major predator of women. I’m proud that I was able to tell him off immediately and then I was a nasty woman after that.he’s disgusting.
Not buying any of these theories his cabinet picks are calculated. He’s an incompetent boob fumbling through this process. Be aware of the facist tendencies but fear the incompetence.
Very interesting conversation on the post election results & different perspectives….. as a Democratic we do have some introspection on what happened!!! Personally economically or socially I didn’t have a problem with the Biden Years but I did dislike Trump interference in MSM & MAGA Congress…..

If I believed just 25% of what these folks say & believe one would have to stop Trump by any means necessary? No? these guys are truely insane. This is very sad😢
Interesting distinction on progressivism versus liberalism. I actually really like how both terms were stated - a simple and easy way to clarify how you’re using the two terms if you’re conversing with someone. By those definitions I’m firmly in the liberal camp. I always learn something interesting on this podcast.
[58:06] glad bill interjected here..and yes we have heard this before :( edit : no scrub that ,he just disagrees about the point that the dems should not run as trump light..he wants to move to centre again....[shrugs] a ex-republican thinks the dems should run as republican light...again...[sighs]..which is basically a repeat of kamala campaign.....and we all know how that went...ah well lessons not learnt as usual...but then again coming from republicans who helped the trump ascendency in their own party....what else can we expect? :(
i always laugh out lough when damon ascribes himself and bill as "centre-left"......its quiet a satisfing laugh, of knowing that he is talking bollocks, and doesnt understand political positioning at all :(
Bill Galston has a different recollection of China trade liberalization that I do. China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, during a Republican administration. NAFTA was Reagan/Bush era. So it seems to me that retaliating against Democrats is backwards. The pain of NAFTA was felt mostly under Clinton, since it takes a while for factories to come on line.
This podcast has been one of the most insightful ones I've ever heard about Trump's leadership style (that is scarily effective which makes it worse!) and motivation for his presidency. Like even his supporters and even democrats sre often humiliated into submission to the point of feeling powerless to stop it, and thus, apathetic. 😬 You've gotta have some very strong moral character to remain resistant to that.
Here is the test, 1) How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb? 2)They don’t have the concept of light. 3) therefore, all they know how to do is to curse the darkness ‼️ WOKE -> An evolved sense of Being refers to a person who is at peace with him/herself, grateful for blessings, aware of frailties, and . . . “no wonder the Republican are against it😂
Okay seriously, DO NOT PUT AN AD immediately after a huge world changing statement, it REALLY adds to the uncanny matrix feeling of DYSTOPIA. Please don't do that. :( We have enough already.
I'm open to strategic political realignment by Democrats in order to win, but the reality is that there is only about a 1.5% vote difference in the national popular vote and in the swing states which means you only need about a 0.76% change in voter preference to get a different winning result next time, and that wouldn't necessarily require drastic strategic change.
Bill Galston may be a very accomplished academic, yo, but he thinks far too highly of his own opinions, yo, and his presence makes these panels worse, yo.
i see bill and damon as centre right..considering i am from england [where corbin was far left and bernie sanders would be considered middle left]....many on the left wing see a celebtary candidant of good standing with sensible policiy[satisfying those that delve] and a the celebraty to cover the "vibes,equally he is honest, he cares, he does charity work,people both laugh with him and are entertained"..many suggest jon stewart as that centre left candidant....wether he would actually do it , thou, is another matter...as he seems a rather sensible fellow..and sensible fellows dont want to be president :(

Our system is set up to withstand this crap. Plus I really don't think these clowns know enough to get anything done.
The guardrail are gone.
I wouldn’t be too sure they are working on threats and fear ! Nobody so far has shown a spine .
not supposed to get anything done but be part of the problem
The system is only as good as the people running it. Clowns are coming.
@karinwallace3031 no one in the spotlight. But I have to believe there are a lot of people working in these departments..people that we don't know.
I keep hearing peahead Seth when you say Pete Hegseth
🤣
We could have won if more people had not been deniers.💙💙💙❄️
Can we start a Elon dashboard tracking his wealth etc by quarter under Trump?
Kakistocracy
Please stop this mess!!!
We had a chance, but too many voted for the Bastard and against their fellow citizens and their own self-interests.
They do this program every week. They don't want to stop.
You sound as desperate as I feel.
Please? To whom do you plead? The American public?
What’s the deal with the ambulance and Secret Service leaving from Miralago?
Apparently false
Bummer, it's a false story.
Wouldn't that be grand.
The best dream from which you wake.
DOGE has one head now MTG. 🎉 Her idiocy will ensure it fails.
I really appreciated this conversation between all of you today. I’m a very logical and pragmatic person and I prefer listening to people discuss topics without a ton of emotion and attacking of other people. I despise the kind of person that Trump is and also the rest of them who think that that is a great way to be. I can’t understand how that would ever be sustainable. so I’m hoping that he does what he always does and doubles down when he’s not supposed to and my hope is that it only screws those who have gone all in with him, regardless of the lawsuits and the past history versus harming other people such as immigrants and women and Transgender folks. I have had a personal experience with Trump back in the early 2000s at his Malibu golf course. It was not pretty and he is a major predator of women. I’m proud that I was able to tell him off immediately and then I was a nasty woman after that.he’s disgusting.
Not buying any of these theories his cabinet picks are calculated. He’s an incompetent boob fumbling through this process. Be aware of the facist tendencies but fear the incompetence.
Very interesting conversation on the post election results & different perspectives….. as a Democratic we do have some introspection on what happened!!! Personally economically or socially I didn’t have a problem with the Biden Years but I did dislike Trump interference in MSM & MAGA Congress…..

Rfk in charge of conspiries
Question is what can we do about it
This is nothing new. Look at Trump's picks last time. He looks for the grenades to toss into these key posts.
If I believed just 25% of what these folks say & believe one would have to stop Trump by any means necessary? No? these guys are truely insane. This is very sad😢
So is this your life now? Trolling anti-trump podcasts? I feel very sorry for you and I will pray for you.
He is a lame duck President which every politician in Congress understands.
But if republicans want to get re-election, they have to bow to this lame duck.
Ship had been sailed!
Pete Hegseth will never get Senate approval
never say never trump can fire whoever gets confirmed and install him
Trump is trying to use a loophole to bypass an approval
Trump was never going to win. Trump was going to jail.
Trump was never going to win. Trump was going to jail.
Wanna bet on that? You liberals and your predictions....
AZ is happy!❤
How is this possible???
Interesting distinction on progressivism versus liberalism. I actually really like how both terms were stated - a simple and easy way to clarify how you’re using the two terms if you’re conversing with someone. By those definitions I’m firmly in the liberal camp. I always learn something interesting on this podcast.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride! Good luck
He's stirring up sh!t until he finally gets a pick through.
The moment trump purge the military from constitution-abiding people, everything is loss😢
That won’t happen
He did this before, in his first term.
1:02:00 totally agree
Go time. Have a great day.
America has a deep protection of our oath takers
[58:06] glad bill interjected here..and yes we have heard this before :( edit : no scrub that ,he just disagrees about the point that the dems should not run as trump light..he wants to move to centre again....[shrugs] a ex-republican thinks the dems should run as republican light...again...[sighs]..which is basically a repeat of kamala campaign.....and we all know how that went...ah well lessons not learnt as usual...but then again coming from republicans who helped the trump ascendency in their own party....what else can we expect? :(
The whole panel could use some therapy. Their anti-woke paranoia is unsettling
He is a thiev ,with a facade....then the devil appears
Rump used cocaine!
Who’s next? The mypillow guy as head of the DEA?
It's ok he can do whatever he wants, right MG?
The Devil wears a red MAGA hat.
i always laugh out lough when damon ascribes himself and bill as "centre-left"......its quiet a satisfing laugh, of knowing that he is talking bollocks, and doesnt understand political positioning at all :(
Bill Galston has a different recollection of China trade liberalization that I do. China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, during a Republican administration. NAFTA was Reagan/Bush era. So it seems to me that retaliating against Democrats is backwards. The pain of NAFTA was felt mostly under Clinton, since it takes a while for factories to come on line.
This podcast has been one of the most insightful ones I've ever heard about Trump's leadership style (that is scarily effective which makes it worse!) and motivation for his presidency.
Like even his supporters and even democrats sre often humiliated into submission to the point of feeling powerless to stop it, and thus, apathetic. 😬
You've gotta have some very strong moral character to remain resistant to that.
If little Marco leaves can Matt be appointed to fill the position,
What a way to start the weekend.... LOL
53:40 Agreed. Just wait for the overreach
Democracy or else ?please tell me what this is?
cut defense by 40%
Here is the test,
1) How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?
2)They don’t have the concept of light.
3) therefore, all they know how to do is to curse the darkness ‼️
WOKE -> An evolved sense of Being refers to a person who is at peace with him/herself, grateful for blessings, aware of frailties, and . . . “no wonder the Republican are against it😂
1:00:03 don’t need to move away from the progressives
Everyone everywhere: Good 🐈
As someone on the right who has watched a fair amount of The Bulwark recently: ... Gee... I wonder why y'all lost?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Just ridiculous.
Okay seriously, DO NOT PUT AN AD immediately after a huge world changing statement, it REALLY adds to the uncanny matrix feeling of DYSTOPIA. Please don't do that. :( We have enough already.
I'm open to strategic political realignment by Democrats in order to win, but the reality is that there is only about a 1.5% vote difference in the national popular vote and in the swing states which means you only need about a 0.76% change in voter preference to get a different winning result next time, and that wouldn't necessarily require drastic strategic change.
Trump neither too far left or right??? Geeeezzzz!! Fido's butt would've had my vote before Trump. I genuinely liked Kamala though.
Bill Galston may be a very accomplished academic, yo, but he thinks far too highly of his own opinions, yo, and his presence makes these panels worse, yo.
I think any rural American can tell you, ranting about chemtrails and microchip tracking is a side effect of meth
Would be really good with pinto beans and ham
36:30 Do we really think there are going to be elections in the future. Legitimate elections.
He copied/ paid shit in his Military reform school...duh...but now we see the "issues"
Yeah... So what's the problem. We elected Trump to be a bull on a China shop. Sounds like he's well on the way
wasn’t the military already pretty MAGA?
I just saw those pictures again that came out by Don The Con, pre-election,of Donald Trump as Superman HAHA He's Sooo Full Of Bull !!
26:48 wait… is Mona claiming JFK was NOT killed by the CIA?
i see bill and damon as centre right..considering i am from england [where corbin was far left and bernie sanders would be considered middle left]....many on the left wing see a celebtary candidant of good standing with sensible policiy[satisfying those that delve] and a the celebraty to cover the "vibes,equally he is honest, he cares, he does charity work,people both laugh with him and are entertained"..many suggest jon stewart as that centre left candidant....wether he would actually do it , thou, is another matter...as he seems a rather sensible fellow..and sensible fellows dont want to be president :(
Trump failing his test of senate
55:40 being wrong your entire life… there’s a lot of that going around
That's the pic of his body double.
1:07:20 sounds like Trump is a progressive after all
Trump testing senators and T failed his own test
