I keep coming back to this. Keith had it right, but it's so much worse than even he thought it would be. I still listen to him every day on his podcast and he's still out there fighting.Thank you Keith
I am German and I can't agree more. But the US has to reform the constitution to separate powers more because you get lucky the orangutan is not as smart as his boss Putin. Putin would have been more sensitive in his grab to power as a dictator in the US. But the orangutan showed open and clear the weak point of the system an led they are everywhere.
Be real, it ended with Reparations and then buried six feet under with the end of the Civil Rights movement and the New Deal. Those were our last chances, but the people chose slavery and oligarchs.
July 1st, 2024: The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 along party lines that the President has presumptive immunity against prosecution after leaving office for all "Official acts". "Official acts" is extremely vaguely defined, leaving it up to the lower courts, of which the decision can be appealed....Straight back to the 6-3 Regressive Supreme Court.
@@zenivinez 2024 and it's done. A president is king, all executive agencies are to be gutted and remade if Trump is reelected. SCOTUS made bribery legal. At least one justice had accepted millions, thus they legalized their own corruption. There are no remaining checks left. Impeachment is a farce. Citizens United let the foxes into the hen house. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the swing vote in Citizens United, doomed America.
This was the turning point in American society. Now we are listening to you Olbermann. This was the apex of American society. Now we are reaping the fruits of our failures.
The real turning point was the end of Reparations and Reconstruction, and then our last chance to salvage anything was The New Deal. After that, we'd already lost, and the oligarchs were taking their victory laps and partying at our expense. The real collapse is about to happen.
6/30/2022 SCOTUS this week: - Only states can regulate abortion - States can’t regulate firearms - The EPA can’t protect the environment - States have power over Native Lands - Miranda rights aren’t really necessary What an unmitigated disaster, that Olbermann predicted 12 years before it happened.
Coming back to this in 2024 and hearing Olbermann talk about chubb group after them paying Trump's bond 🤯 We literally have a presidential nominee bought openly by multiple corporations.
Keith is unbelievable. I'm Australian, but when he started his "be prepared" speech, I got genuinely scared as I began to picture a dystopia in my mind. This needs to be overturned, and Keith needs to come back.
"...that is if the corporations who now buy the school boards which decide which history books get printed approve. If there ARE still history books." I'm from the future and I have some bad news.
Only because you haven't been paying attention. I bet you would have called me a conspriacy theorist back then, too, just like so many people did. All to quiet dissent and sleepwalk us into oligarchy.
Corporations are not people They are a legal entity that protects criminal owners / managers from being sued for crimes and put in prison. Lawsuits are against corporations and they pay a fine, because a corporation can't be put in prison.
As a German with a very bad history of the grandparent generation in the back I can not agree more. The problem is before that decision also the attack on the healthcare and the education system by the republicans. Both seen as human rights Europe no one is thinking about how much the ride of the ambulance to the hospital will cost in an emergency because it's part of the universal healthcare system and yes we pay more taxes but our kids do not have to pay back decades on the university loan. I was shocked when I heard even Obame had his student loan only payed back about for years he came into office. And every continent European will shake his head about this.
You know, I remember watching this the night it originally aired, and thinking "no...ok, I know it's BAD, but could it really be *THAT* bad???" I keep rewatching this video every few months or so, because every time I do I'm always stunned at JUST HOW ACCURATE these predictions were.
I totally agree as a German now that the orangutan destroyed all values and acts like a neonazi dictator. Putin has won this round well played, but the orangutan is not housebroken and a embarrassment on the field. It is time to change that . And then change the rules to get your country back. My tip as a European universal healthcare and free education even to the first college degree is a human right and not communism just look at western Europe. And you need a third or fourth party and the finance of the parties should be made by the state and not big diners. Parties are financed here in Germany so they every vote for one party gives money for a party to be able to compete for the next election. That's the reason why the election campaign for biggest election only takes about 6-8 weeks. So the time before they try to do their job and they have to make compromises just because we have right now 6 different parties in parliament.
he's saying he predicted it in this video, which was in January of 2010. Ann did it in June of 2015, almost 5 and half years later well after Trump had been a declared .candidate.
This was absoulutely the greatest speech/critique, ever given by any journalist. Olbermann speaks to every point with insight and intelligence that cannot be impoved or expanded upon. Its disparaging to know that most Americans are too subliterate to comprehend what he is eloquently conveying. If he had used pictures and crayons, they might have watched him for more than 15 seconds. Good luck to any intelligent life out there. Free Bradley Manning! Free Palastine!
Posting this comment exactly 9 Years Later and look at the carnage! The social fabric of the United States is disintegrating. What an absolutely disastrous ruling.
@soakupthesunmanYeah, olbermann was wrong when he said climate change would be ignored, net neutrality destroyed, internet privacy obliterated, and that corporations would buy elections.Oh wait. Climate change is being ignored, net neutrality is gone, internet privacy has been dead for quite some time thanks to the NSA, and superpacs (corporations) have gone from spending a few million on elections to multiple billions.
What am I doing? I’m talking to all of my friends about Bernie, about corporate spending in politics, about Citizens United, and about how we have to vote before it’s too late. It may already be.
What scares me almost as much as corporations/the wealth spending ungodly amounts of money on politicians, is the fact that so many people seem to support it. I fear for the next few generations.
Excellent !! But....it applies on both sides of the aisle....LEFT & RIGHT; Democrats & Republicans......They ALL vie for that almighty Dollar to run their campaigns. Individual citizens do not have a voice any more.

You forgot that the court is about to rule on state legislators overturning elections
And in 2024, Presidents can commit no crimes.
It's gotten so much worse since you made this comment just two short years ago
And it was Roberts the whole time…

it is disturbing how right he was...
Not at all, this was obvious to anybody paying attention at all in the last 100 years. Wake the fuck up.
