Through a constitutional amendment. Our generation is the only one that has never overturned an amendment. Go to wolf-pac.com for more information. It CAN be done, but people have to get off their asses and push for it.
Victor Droid You "Earn" your money, but Bernie supports don't? The FDR "New Deal" made the Country that is held as a gold standard. My parents would tell me that they could quit one job and find another one on the same day. I have never seen that in my life thanks to Reagan..
apropo0 I was talkinn about best selling author Naomi Klein. Does she even know the meaning of Coup d' etat? My guess is that, she being a member of a liberal democracy, has no point of comparison.
HEhe... perhaps not a coup in the literal sense. Certainly nothing like what happened to the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. Perhaps Klein used the term figuratively or metaphorically. What would her party affiliation or political bent have to do with frame of reference w/r/t a coup? Are you familiar with any of Klein's writing?
apropo0 Im familiar with the biased and incomplete writings of The Shock Doctrine, and realize ahe is just part of a huge industry of academic/entertainment industry. Just like Mike Moore is.
Put on your seat belts people. Get ready to fight to the best of your ability. As for those who voted for this mess.....well, I can only hope you learn something quickly. I don't see how you can't.
Correction - Trump didn't win, Hillary didn't lose, The American People have lost. It is important to note that the American People would have lost regardless of whether Hillary or Trump took office. As it was once said, " I don't care who gets to vote, as long as I get to pick the candidates"
I'm happy Lee Fang is so young. In the coming months and years, he will have a great impact in journalism. Naomi Klein already reached the top of that mountain a long time ago. And may Amy Goodman get millions of new subscribers. We're going to need all of them to help us wade through the swamp and keep sane.
They mention new rules that would impede workers from organizing, environmental protections, etc., etc. You do realize people, that you don't have to follow those rules. The founders of this nation ignored the rules of their government at the time (as a colony of England). We can do the same.
austinbeige exactly they are tired of the nicety of bribery etc....it is a gasp last breath of the oligarghs to seize control from the educated masses sick of the capitalist stanglehold on our society ... we lower their taxes and deregulate as they say they need to create jobs ... then they rape the economy ...

and the GOP has proven for decades that they know how to FUCK America in the ass and still get enough idiots to keep voting for them. These MORONS continue to fail to notice that the GOP basically shut down Obama's last 6 years and that all the GOPtards who think things are bad are the ones who made it bad: the GOP had the house for 18 of the past 22 years, the senate 14 of those years and held both and the presidency all at once 6 of those years (the Dems only for 2 measly years) and need I mention that before the most recent generation of screwing over America, that they had Reagan & Bush #1 for 12 years in a row. The GOP voter couldn't be any stupider!
Cooperate coup d'etat happened many years ago, sorry. The argument she brings to the table is really nothing which describes this administration in particular.
Basically, yes. Got rid of the politicians, the middle men, the buffer, that were owned by special interests, and just put those special interests directly in power.
Those young people are pushing back with all the have inciting violence, breaking windows of businesses, starting fires and burning cars, throwing bricks and rocks and bottles at cops. Did you tell them to give up their lives for this fight, that you know they can't win?
Blaming anybody for fascism who is NOT a fascist is ridiculous. Neither Sanders, Clinton or Obama is responsible for Trump. Trump supporters are responsible for Trump.
On a side note from listening to a young lad who is a dweeb . My dog had puppies today . She is doing well and 8 wiskery woofers are doing fine . Thats the news folks .
As Trump himself said about Tillerson, "...he goes in and takes a countries oil, then moves onto the next one.", proud and excited, "What a great guy."
Dream on. Trump is the most distrusted disliked president in history. The only reason he ever stood a chance was because his opponent was so awful. If the Democrats run any sort of competent scandal free candidate he's done. If they run Sanders or a similar candidate he is well and truly fucked.
Well guess what? Sanders didn't win and neither did Clinton. Trump won, and he will win again in 2020. Sorry crybabies. You lost. Speculating about who might have won or any other bullshit is pointless and stupid. There is only one winner and that is Trump. Sorrrrrrrry!
If We as Democrats are not mobilized and motivated NOW for 2018 midterms, then I'm afraid we might deserve what we get...there's a lot of seats up and everything CAN CHANGE
I'd seen this on the site but watched it for the second time and leraned more! Very deep and informative as a piece of good journalism should be. Thanks Amy Goodman and all good fells in democracynow!
Trump's upset now about his crowd at the inauguration-- meager attendance as compared with Obama's. Why is Trump worried about that? And... as Amy said here: Trump's inauguration balls/ celebration concert that night--- total of approx. 10K attended, as contrasted with Obama's 400+K attendees at his first inauguration celebrations, galas, balls.
I live in England, I wish that the POTUS had no affect on me, but it does. I hope you americans realise you have unleashed a megolomanic on the rest of the world, its like WTF. Brexit pfffff hold my beer and watch this.
This energy *must* be channeled to form alliances on the local level, that formulate policies and win elections on the local and state level. By focusing on the presidency we forget what got him there - voter dissatisfaction on the local level.
Naomi Klein is one of my heroes. I have said for years that we are experiencing a slow, insidious, bloodless coup on the part of oligarchs and their minions in government. I stand by all of that except for the slow part!
PS: NOT a Trump fan here. Not by a loooong shot. Trump as POTUS is frightening, perhaps even more frightening than Hillary as POTUS. But there's also complexity here. The mainstream anti-Trump narrative does not cut it.
The Democratic party need to get their acts together, every time I heard them diagnose the situation, they fail measurable. We tend to be reactionaries at time. Republicans have a strategy, which is divide and concur, and financial gain- it works for them. But that won't work for us, because democrats are intelligent, we analyze everything, we care about issues confronted the entire world, while worry about the other side understand us, that's difficult stuff to Juggle. But we need to maintain focus, not so easily derailed , I can't believe we buy into the idea of Hillary's crookedness, preferred Bernie over Hillary, and that democrats voted for Trump instead of Hillary, to me that's crazy. Many of the Bernie's fans were republicans skimming to change the outcome, republicans are good car salesmen, they know how to skim to get at what they want.
The middle class abandoned the working class so we working class returned the favor. As for the popular vote, Hillary spending $350 million more than Trump in attack ads is the explanation. The votes were bought by corporate donations. Naomi and her crowd should advocate for white working class. She might gain credibility.
The point in question is: are everything very democratic in this country so far, and every intelligent and well informed people very happy and proud with the way ^democracy` is evolving so far? Listening to the protesters speeches, it is like listening to someone complaining that Donald Trump is already destroying a beautiful nation of peace and justice and high values of democracy existing. He even took place in his charge as president yet! And let me point out that this country is far far away from something that a intelligent and well informed human can be proud of, based in almost all humanitarian and cultural subjects. Be more real, please!
Trump is the greatest President of the millennium thus far. jobs are coming back soon we will be fracking all over for our energy independence and welfare will end as we know it...Liberalism lost on November 9, 2016 Obama killed the party of the KKK the Democrats.....Lost the House, lost the Senate 36 Republican Governors and lost over 1,000 state level house & senate seats..Obama killed the Democrat Party, no wonder I always liked Obama....
You are representative of college leadership at Howard and you start off with popular vote nonsense . How much time have you spent educating with respect to the electoral college ?
I know. How scared could they be? It's not like one of Puzder's workers being scared that they won't make rent or worried that they'll be able to start a family or whatever dire situation they could get into. He'll still be rich! What a pussy!
Isn't Tillerson one of the more pragmatic--and less ideological--candidates for Sec State? I am under the impression that if it's not him, it'll be someone much worse.
Trump and the Heritage Foundation. Trudeau and the C.D. Howe Institute. Same thing. I can't listening to Amy Goodman et al anymore. The White Helmets propaganda piece was just beyond the pale, no pun intended. As for Naom Klein's anti God, anti Christian book (which is otherwise good), "This Changes Everything," it did change everything for me in regard to my feelings about Naomi Klein. What a toilet the world is. That's Left and Right. That's neoconservative/ neoliberal politicians and business people and their victims. Good riddance to the lot of you.
We were so focused on stopping TPP- the global corporate coup- but they had Plan B. I agree with Naomi though- this is a panicked last gasp (I'd add, of patriarchy) and we will fight it with everything we have.
Every one of these panelists was exactly right about what was about to happen - every single point. It was right there in front of us, laid out Like a roadmap. Amazing that so many working class Americans STILL fell for this long con game - and continue to back this president.

How important, to this election, was gerrymandering, and voters' registration rules?
I dislike this, not because I'm an astroturfer working for Donald Drumpf, but because I'm an American who has been fooled by an astroturfer working for Donald Drumpf.
I just got a scary prediction of Trumps "advisers" whispering him to go full military complex and when eventually most of US's allies turn against them and their enemies get closer he goes ape shit on the red button and then goodbye world. ugh
It's worth noting that a teensy tinesy minuscule amount of people have the absolutely final say on who becomes POTUS. But we shouldn't hold those people accountable, right? It's a lot easier to just pin it ALL on one person.
Corporate coup d'Etat pretty much sums it up, all right. The question now is whether the 99% can ever turn things back around. Maybe this is where capitalism goes. I just regret that I wasn't born in a Scandinavian country. Do I sound "unpatriotic?" Tough shit.
ONE GOOD IDEA. ONE POWERFUL TACTIC. Here's the major problem why political reforms don't happen in USA, the core reason 3rd parties fail in the USA, is our 'winner take all' voting vs. proportional representation. Alternative Voting is a good 'keyword' to find out more about this. We need to change to election process so alternative voice, smaller voices can start to get a share of political power. Winner-take-all voting is like a gambler thinking he can beat the odds in Las Vegas; but the only steady winner in Las Vegas is the casinos. --- NEITHER DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO ‘SAVE US,’ FROM THEIR OWN MANIPULATIONS AND MALFEASANCE --- So the tactic I recommend is Radical*Voting, meaning Vote out all incumbents, repeatedly, again and again until news laws passed, laws passed that reduce the influence of cash, term limits, limits on length of campaigns, and some method of ALTERNATIVE VOTING that does give all the power only to those who can get 51%. In some ways no more radical that voter enforced term limits, but in another way a mist dramatic challenge to business as usual. We've had no success in changing our politics by waving signs, by large crowds, nor by breaking windows. Change comes, as it's been often repeated, "by the bullet or the ballot." (And revolution or civil war doomed to destroy more than it saves)
Trump will do the opposite. Empty at inauguration, and ball too. Looks like rooms in Washington for protesters is needed. Somebody contribute to pay for their rooms. please.thanks.
When both sides realize that Goldman Sachs does not care which side is in and the people then decide to act together against the real problem we will continue to be at each other's throats, and letting the real culprits off the hook. We need a people's party, neither party is in truth that entity. Both sides have weakness and both sides have strength, the most glaring weakness common to both sides is the willingness to waste so much energy denigrating the other side and ignoring the true problem.
I suspect it would have happened with any corporate funded candidate. Any non corporate candidate may well have been in danger or used as a figurehead but held powerless. This has probably been a long time in the making.
Well, Wall Street financially backed Hillary almost exclusively. So, I think that speaks volumes.
Igaluit And Trump fills his cabinet with billionaires, Goldman Sachs boys and the head of Exxon Mobile.
John Moran That we first overturn Citizens United and elect Bernie or someone like him that actually represents Americans.
Through a constitutional amendment. Our generation is the only one that has never overturned an amendment. Go to wolf-pac.com for more information. It CAN be done, but people have to get off their asses and push for it.
Victor Droid You "Earn" your money, but Bernie supports don't? The FDR "New Deal" made the Country that is held as a gold standard. My parents would tell me that they could quit one job and find another one on the same day. I have never seen that in my life thanks to Reagan..
Which socialist country did you grow up in?
Corporations have been writing legislation for most of my 38 years of life, and THIS is the coup? At least the title is worth a good laugh.
Does anyone else feel that Amy Goodman's eyes show not just kindness, but wisdom as well? Seriously, that's my immediate impression.
Progressives stay strong.
O gee.....let's break out the harps and violins on that one.
Trump implemented their plan.
The merging of corporate interests with a government is one of the definitions of Fascism
And if Clinton had won! Do you think the corporations would be out? Give me a break.
Press dropped the ball by not focussing on Trump's shortcomings.
yes, and by focussing on made-up stuff like him being racist.
Are you serious? The press that ignored Obama's Marxist connections, gave Hillary a free pass for a year, Colluded to rig the debates.... Wow.
Democracy Now is Soros funded, who also funded $hillarys campaign.
mr magoo Source?
Mette C5, it's listed on the democracy now's home page. Just scroll to the bottom of the page.
This woman would come up with the most ridiculous interpretations of phenoma just to sell books.
Which specific interpretation(s)? Were her Tillerson comments unfounded?
apropo0 I was talkinn about best selling author Naomi Klein. Does she even know the meaning of Coup d' etat? My guess is that, she being a member of a liberal democracy, has no point of comparison.

I grok it.
like an elder told me once, the fool always reveals him/her self in the end.
No Logo by Naomi Klein changed my life. It's old now but gold.
How totally true it sounds after 5 years!
Put on your seat belts people. Get ready to fight to the best of your ability. As for those who voted for this mess.....well, I can only hope you learn something quickly. I don't see how you can't.
Correction - Trump didn't win, Hillary didn't lose, The American People have lost. It is important to note that the American People would have lost regardless of whether Hillary or Trump took office. As it was once said, " I don't care who gets to vote, as long as I get to pick the candidates"
It was the polls saying Hillery had the win,so people said good and stayed home in key states.

Could ve said that about the bank bailout in 2008..
Those young people are pushing back with all the have inciting violence, breaking windows of businesses, starting fires and burning cars, throwing bricks and rocks and bottles at cops. Did you tell them to give up their lives for this fight, that you know they can't win?
Blaming anybody for fascism who is NOT a fascist is ridiculous. Neither Sanders, Clinton or Obama is responsible for Trump. Trump supporters are responsible for Trump.
Trust me it's just a question on time.Trump will FAIL and FALL.
"The harder they come the harder they fall"! (Jimmy Cliff)
On a side note from listening to a young lad who is a dweeb .
My dog had puppies today .
She is doing well and 8 wiskery woofers are doing fine .
Thats the news folks .
As Trump himself said about Tillerson, "...he goes in and takes a countries oil, then moves onto the next one.", proud and excited, "What a great guy."
*PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR 8 YEARS ! ! !*
#putinspissbitch
The second amendment people might want to take care of Tchump. 30.06 with a scope.
Dream on. Trump is the most distrusted disliked president in history. The only reason he ever stood a chance was because his opponent was so awful. If the Democrats run any sort of competent scandal free candidate he's done. If they run Sanders or a similar candidate he is well and truly fucked.
Bernie needs the whole Democrat Party behind him otherwise they will continue to use him for their own benefit of money in politics.
Well guess what? Sanders didn't win and neither did Clinton. Trump won, and he will win again in 2020. Sorry crybabies. You lost. Speculating about who might have won or any other bullshit is pointless and stupid. There is only one winner and that is Trump. Sorrrrrrrry!
Get him Ladies.
She's still get it.
She's talking like this is a new issue... The Coup d'etat has been active for at least the last 4 Presidents.
If We as Democrats are not mobilized and motivated NOW for 2018 midterms, then I'm afraid we might deserve what we get...there's a lot of seats up and everything CAN CHANGE
Naomi, I hope you are well and stay well- we need YOU! Take care of yourself.
RESIST AND PROTEST...........RESIST AND PROTEST.......................RESIST AND PROTEST...........RESIST AND PROTEST....
You damn right, Naomi.
WHO paid for Pres. Obama's Inauguration and all previous Presidents?
I'd seen this on the site but watched it for the second time and leraned more!
Very deep and informative as a piece of good journalism should be.
Thanks Amy Goodman and all good fells in democracynow!
She hit the nail on the head with her 'cutting out the middlemen' remark.
Trump's upset now about his crowd at the inauguration-- meager attendance as compared with Obama's. Why is Trump worried about that? And... as Amy said here:
Trump's inauguration balls/ celebration concert that night--- total of approx. 10K attended, as contrasted with Obama's 400+K attendees at his first inauguration celebrations, galas, balls.
I saw the Right Wing power grab 26 years ago!
Great report - thanks again for posting
I live in England, I wish that the POTUS had no affect on me, but it does. I hope you americans realise you have unleashed a megolomanic on the rest of the world, its like WTF. Brexit pfffff hold my beer and watch this.
I love Naomi Klein
This energy *must* be channeled to form alliances on the local level, that formulate policies and win elections on the local and state level. By focusing on the presidency we forget what got him there - voter dissatisfaction on the local level.
Seizing power on the local level is the best way, perhaps the only way, to neutralize corporate power.
+1 Democracy Now ...
Naomi Klein is one of my heroes. I have said for years that we are experiencing a slow, insidious, bloodless coup on the part of oligarchs and their minions in government. I stand by all of that except for the slow part!
Well,I'm just going to have to agree with everybody and with everything everybody said. I'm with you all the way,folks,count me in.
Communism Now!
This changes everything: Trump abandons TPP by executive order. Most important progressive victory against global corporatism in many years.
PS: NOT a Trump fan here. Not by a loooong shot. Trump as POTUS is frightening, perhaps even more frightening than Hillary as POTUS. But there's also complexity here. The mainstream anti-Trump narrative does not cut it.
and the first opportunity we have to manifest our unconformity we separate people by gender...sad!
We are currently at 1.6° with 2° locked in. Time people wake up to the climate crises
this young fellow Lee Fang sure nailed it 100% too
The Democratic party need to get their acts together, every time I heard them diagnose the situation, they fail measurable. We tend to be reactionaries at time. Republicans have a strategy, which is divide and concur, and financial gain- it works for them.

Wow, Lee Fang! What an impressive young man. Great job, keep it up!!
Klein: "cutting out the middle men", ie government, so big business can basically control the world. ARE YOU AWAKE?
To quote a favorite saying..."Come the revolution..."
if you didn't think globalisation was a corporate take-over you haven't been paying attention
The middle class abandoned the working class so we working class returned the favor. As for the popular vote, Hillary spending $350 million more than Trump in attack ads is the explanation. The votes were bought by corporate donations. Naomi and her crowd should advocate for white working class. She might gain credibility.

You are representative of college leadership at Howard and you start off with popular vote nonsense . How much time have you spent educating with respect to the electoral college ?
The next 100 days will be very interesting and revealing. I mean the 100 days starting on Monday because Trump doesn't work on Weekends.
A panic against Bernie Sanders. It really made them scared that Bernie would make them pay taxes.
I know. How scared could they be? It's not like one of Puzder's workers being scared that they won't make rent or worried that they'll be able to start a family or whatever dire situation they could get into. He'll still be rich! What a pussy!
Isn't Tillerson one of the more pragmatic--and less ideological--candidates for Sec State? I am under the impression that if it's not him, it'll be someone much worse.
Love Lee. Please have him on your show more often!!
Trump and the Heritage Foundation. Trudeau and the C.D. Howe Institute. Same thing.

great to see the Intercept and DN hooking up
Aligators don't want to see the swamp dried! ....obviously
Naomi Klein for president.
*****
Ahh. Too bad. She is very bright.
I like Klein . A lot.
America only has 1 political party - the property party - and it has 2 right wings.
Gore Vidal
" No Logo" became an international bestseller, selling over one million copies in over 28 languages"
lets talk corporate and hypocrisy.
Go Naomi!
We were so focused on stopping TPP- the global corporate coup- but they had Plan B. I agree with Naomi though- this is a panicked last gasp (I'd add, of patriarchy) and we will fight it with everything we have.
Very good info, balls sponsors should be reported, and also private meeting, who are the swamp rats?
accept it and go on
The USA is a corporation. Look at the gold fringe around flags at any political broadcast.
Every one of these panelists was exactly right about what was about to happen - every single point. It was right there in front of us, laid out Like a roadmap. Amazing that so many working class Americans STILL fell for this long con game - and continue to back this president.
How important, to this election, was gerrymandering, and voters' registration rules?
I dislike this, not because I'm an astroturfer working for Donald Drumpf, but because I'm an American who has been fooled by an astroturfer working for Donald Drumpf.
spot on, the low turnout started in 2012 after the lousy obombercare
One day Lee Fang will just be another corporatist, unlike Naomi.
shock and awe budget ... they will cut everything that doesnt line their pockets
...hence pass a law that makes voting mandatory like taxes not voluntary...
I just got a scary prediction of Trumps "advisers" whispering him to go full military complex and when eventually most of US's allies turn against them and their enemies get closer he goes ape shit on the red button and then goodbye world. ugh
I get that Bernie would have been better, but if Klein stumps for Jill Stein in 2020 this will happen all over again.
It's worth noting that a teensy tinesy minuscule amount of people have the absolutely final say on who becomes POTUS. But we shouldn't hold those people accountable, right? It's a lot easier to just pin it ALL on one person.
Corporate coup d'Etat pretty much sums it up, all right. The question now is whether the 99% can ever turn things back around. Maybe this is where capitalism goes. I just regret that I wasn't born in a Scandinavian country. Do I sound "unpatriotic?" Tough shit.
Amy Goodman fails the 9/11 litmus test. Therefore, controlled opposition.
I knew that the Donald was going to be a TRILLIONAIRE x 10! lol
Mr Trump is great person to be president.
And in just about 16:24 minutes of news story and interview and this/was uploaded on January 20,2017.
it is hard to take this kid seriously, since he hasn't gone through puberty.
Omg. Can this women just talk .. ummm ummmm .. aaaaa. Great discussion on what's really happening
