Money has power whether we do or not. We either control them, or they will control us…for nature abhors a vacuum. And no, Putin is reallyu trying to destabalize western civilization. These guys make a couple of good points…but then they say other stuff about Russian collusion is nonsense. OMG. Frump is a sociopath…that's what the KGB looks for. Ego maniacs, those desparte for money….and sociopaths… Frump qualifies on all counts. He's a idiot egomaniacal sociopath that's always been losing money while he pretends to be a "billionaire". Went through daddies money in nothing flat and is in hock up to his keester. 136 million in "golf outings" so far…all but two to his own courses with the money going into his own pockets. NO wonder he likes to go to Moralogo so much…five times as much as Obama who mostly went to military courses…for free save for gas. But get to the GOP lies about trickle down and the fascist takeover…instead of wallowing around in manufactured reality buying the disingenuous premises sold by the GOP. Get a clue…this is a fascist coup in slow motion though the back door of democracy as they call it "evil" and pretend super rich anti tax one trick ponies are going to save us with their patriotism….uhhu. See the book "Winners Take All" for a the real perspective….amongst many others.
OMG, this guy has no clue about how Putin works in his kleptocracy. But moreover, to not recognize the GOP trope of "trickle down" while calling democracy evil government for getting in the way of crooked capitalist pretending trickle down is a real thing is been the real GOP/corporatocracy coup. For GOP, while fronting for the elite, to keep that ball in the air has floated a false ideology that is now complete with articles of faith by low information "useful idiots" as created by the paid hacks of big money such as Limbaaa and Faux news, who use specific propaganda techiques to divide and conquer democracy. Time to throw out the Koch bros. version of reality in favor of we the people democracy.
Dumb democrats.
Neocons are Zionists and Marxism was originally implemented by Zionists in Russia. Everyone needs to toss out their notions of left vs right. Both sides serve to further the Zionist agenda. It doesnt matter if you choose Bernie Sanders or Ben Shapiro to be your political compass, both paths lead to the same place.
This episode is great because it finally demonstrates the essential difference between the two 'great American political parties!' The Tweedle-dee-dee-licans want war with Russia, and the Tweedle-dee-dum-licans want war with China! That's is very important for party loyalists to understand in upcoming elections! God Bless Democracy and free choice!
Gerald Horne is awesome! Nails the issue perfectly!
The fact that Seth Rich murder isn't being investigated and solved screams collusion between the 2 parties, each covering up fr the other.
Don't blame the party on this one. Blame the Media. It shouldn't of matter wheather there was a witch hunt or not.
This guy gerald's attitude is just disturbing.
The AG is dissembling. The Mueller findings are worse than he lets on. The next fight is for Congress to obtain the full report.
I must say I admire RNN's delusional honesty, your political naivete very Tel-E-Sur(ean) in it's approach, plus you're located in Baltimore a city that idolized a drug dealer after he was man-handled by Police. It's enduring and charming to watch you guys go out of your way to indict President Trump and the very Country that affords you your first amendment right to do so. Too bad you guys wouldn't MOVE to, say, Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Sudan with there anti-Christian Bans or any of those wonderful, wonderful South American Countries that treat their citizens with dignity and respect so much so that they go for long walks in caravans through Mexico, which in turn is falsely reported as seeking a better life. You guys are so truth………..full………..
Thank you RNN, your integrity as broadcasters is palpable. Loving the honesty.
Trump said it : 'It's one hundred procent the way it should have been.' Russiagate is a deflection of israelgate. It worked perfectly. The real news network, jimmy dore, redacted tonight, stephane molyneux, we are change, fox, msnbc, cnn and many others are just there to capture a part of the narrative and deflect it away from the real treason which you can see on tv. Good catch maher.
collusion isn't illegal. many countries call it diplomacy.
JEFF IS RIGHT ON
I want someone to ask why FBI alowedhim to Evan run knowing who he is the WHOLE TIME
We dont have a president.make me King,ill fix everything.ask me anything.ps,i dont give a fk about the guidelines of what a king is,ill make it my way.
Aaron Matté, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Tiabbi and Caitlin Johnstone were the only ppl getting it right FOR THREE YEARS.
Any more Russiagate horseshit will just get you ignored by me and 99% of Americans.
WHAT ABOUT URANIUM ONE????
There is no news from the Mueller report. We have no idea what it says. We only know what one of Trump's cronies says that it says. Why should we trust him?
There is no two parties. Don't let yourself be manipulated.

Democrats are intentional failures, directed by big money intent on destroying government effectiveness.
the relationship between the democratic party and the republican party is not rivalry but instead convert partnerships like good cop bad cop relationship. They both have the same goal and objective but different strategy.
To quell empathetic to Palestine progressives APAIC is playing along the narrative of progressive socialists are Putin red puppets. Eschatological evangelicals fully buy into that for Zion Triumphal, and Imperial Jesus, in their pre-settled, and fenced, animal farm, by and by.

6:20 I was very frustrated with this. I've never watched mainstream media with any regularity but my partner was OBSESSED with Rachael Maddow UNTIL she flipped on Bernie after getting a $3 million pay raise. I had been warning my partner for some time about mainstream media, how even the so-called "left" media is actually more centrist because of their corporate interests (left leaning only on certain issues like gay rights – they don't even care about the environment!). For example – One of the ads that was airing regularly during her show was a BP ad where they are bragging about how beautifully they cleaned the hole they left in the Gulf. In REALITY, the hole is still there and it's still leaking almost 20 years later!!!During the 2016 election cycle Rachael Maddow talked about Trump SO MUCH and aired him so continuously that I had to actually leave the apartment when my partner was watching the show… I couldn't stand it. I think Rachael showed more clips of trump than Friends Of Xenophobia.
Real News is RT
so, can we have an investigation into the cia's role in the election, now?
Listen Liberal by Thomas Frank has a good explanation. Still very valid.
Russiagate has obscured the valid Trump news: climate change denial, tax breaks for the rich, no infrastructure spending, no good plan for the health care system
people are interested in the details of Medicare for All
Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.
. Pseudo-events, dramatic productions orchestrated by publicists, political machines, television, Hollywood, or advertisers…..have the capacity to appear real, even though we know they are staged….[they] can evoke a powerful emotional response of overwhelming reality and replacing it with a fictional narrative that often becomes accepted as truth…The unmasking of a stereotype damages and often destroys its credibility. But pseudo-events are immune to this deflation. The exposure of the elaborate mechanisms behind the pseudo-event only adds to its fascination and its power. This is the basis of the convoluted television reporting on how effectively political campaigns and candidates have been stage-managed. Reporters, especially those on television, no longer ask whether the message is true but rather whether the pseudo-event worked or did not work as political theater. Pseudo-events are judged on how effectively we have been manipulated by illusion. Those events that appear real are relished and lauded. Those that fail to create a believable illusion are deemed failures. Truth is irrelevant
"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists."
Hannah Arendt
Antagonist? USA is antagonistic towards Russia and PRC, both left and right. Initially trump was not.
The idea behind Russiagate was perhaps more importantly to distract rank and file Democrats from focusing on their own lack of control over the direction of the Party, that Hillary cheated Bernie Sanders out of the candidacy, that the Democrat leadership is Meritocratic, not Democratic.
Is there any 'NON' Israeli Zionist dual citizens warmongers in Trumps inner circle – ANY . The swamp has never looked deeper..911 is the Biggie.. Mueller = 911 traitor.
The Democrat party has been infiltrated and it is actually another Republican Party in hiding. The purpose is to keep progressive from being elected to important positions of power.
Mr. Jay, you look better with the beard you had last month.
