      This is outright bullshit and full of nonsense. Flynn did nothing wrong? He was being paid by Turkey to influence policy, didn't disclose it, lied to the VP, and plead guilty to it in open court not once but twice. This is propaganda. And that's just the first 3 or 4 minutes.

    For me, the saddest thing about Russiagate is seeing how many artists (musicians, writers, actors) I respect bought into it. I'd thought they had some real insight into the human condition, but it turns out their understanding of politics goes no further than "whatever I just saw on MSNBC must be the truth."

      But the problem is that it wasn't only NBC, it was *all* news outlets (sometimes even Fox) who pushed this. Eventually one has to "believe" or one goes crazy.
      Imho I think that the opposing voices just weren't there - like Aaron says: The Intercept, Democracy Now, et al joined in on the cacophony. Had they pushed another narrative it would've been easier to "resist" (or so I think)

Mostly because of his paradigm changing repulsive style, personality and limited intelligence which the Deniers see as being forthright.
      Never assume that artists or progressives are actually smart just because they're not balls out tea party ignorant.

      The American public are probably the most propagandized population on Earth. We are conditioned from birth to be low information consumers who lack critical thinking skills. It's a systematic problem that especially impacts the educational system, including (and especially) higher education. Pavlovian conditioning using grades, degrees, and other professional rewards and accolades, is how we end up with impressively stupid thought leaders.

Resulting in a whole generation full of misery. Untill tge next new generation stood up and put all the independent press rules back in place. There is no democracy without free independent press.

    It's hard to hear excuses for Chris Hayes. It would be so impactful if he or all other journalists spoke the truth, like a strike. Most people dont believe a story is real unless the mainstream media talks about it. As far as I'm concerned, pushing narratives as fact with no real evidence or examination is the exact opposite of integrity.

      No, this guy is all wrong,. His facts are wrong .Fact check. Don't be like a Fox nit wit and believe this guy.
      I hope the hell they never publish anything based upon this incredibly misinformed video.
      Henry did not say in the transcript that there was no evidence of the Russians taking emails off the DNC servers. He said that they did not have a certain kind of proof. Henry did say that they did have proof and other evidence that it was the Russians took the emails from the DNC server..
      This guy doesn't even know the difference between collusion and colluding. He is as ill informed as any delusional Trump fan.
      Colluding with the enemy is a crime. Collusion means you use information that someone else obtained. Schiff never said colluding. He said collusion and there certainly was collusion. That is what the Trump Tower meeting was all about. It was collusion when Trump told
      Roger Stone to try and get the stolen emails from the Russians.
      Also, Mate keeps referring to the Flynn transcript with Kislyak. No one has had access to the transcript.There is a fight going on right now about getting that transcript released.

    So much respect for these three. Honest question here - how can anyone who understands what has taken place over the last three years trust the DNC over Trump at this point? I don't like the corner I've been forced into but I know what the DNC is willing to do and what Trump actually has done and I just can't vote for anybody associated with the DNC. Not even necessarily voting for Trump but I'm starting to believe more may be at stake than my ideal integrity in the voting booth. Have written in votes many times but this one honestly feels like it has serious implications. Is anybody else in my shoes?

    • @rainedyani8505
      @rainedyani8505 4 года назад +3

      You can't trust the DNC, period. A vote for them is a vote for the continuation of the charades and corruption, and you being played. It won't stop until we the ppl refuse to play. Continue voting 3rd party.

    • @IMSiegfried
      @IMSiegfried 4 года назад +3

      Yes, I am. Some people think if they vote for trump it will somehow punish the DNC but the DNC doesn't care if everyone votes for trump because they'll still get what they want. I had planned on voting for Bernie but sadly he's too far ahead of his time. I don't have the answer but I will not vote for trump and only Tulsi Gabbard talked about taking back the corrupt DNC party.

At the lower levels, the reduction was 3%, and at the lowest levels it was 30%! If your family earns $20,000 per year and you file with the standard deduction, your taxes went down 30%! Stop arguing for higher taxes!
