Watching Rachael. I am officially scared shitless now

[demtenjeep]

I wasn't before, just angry

now I am terrified

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Pretty disturbing, isn't it?

Trump is spewing disinformation and hiding facts. We're being sold down the river and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it.

[The Conductor]

36. Do This...

Don't be afraid - vote! Get all your friends and family registered, and make sure they vote, too. The way to stop this is to quit listening to Trump's ignorant and desperate distractions. Vote! Vote as if the country depends on your actions - because it does.

[SusanaMontana41]

60. Kick n/t

[uponit7771]

84. +1

[skylucy]

2. demtenjeep....I am also sitting here watching Rachel ... and YES

I am terrified too. Absolutely terrified and furious.

[nolabear]

3. They've been handed the country. Buckle up.

The stuff about the grid scares me shitless. We should be doing the EXACT opposite of what we are.


Shit.

[smirkymonkey]

4. I don't get Rachel on my TV.

What is going on?

[shraby]

11. She's showing the disinformation that's going on.

The question that was asked at the meeting of trump and putin about if putin helped and wanted trump to win has been cut out of the video by our government. The question is gone.

The Russians is using the meeting to say we are going to work with them in Syria. Our head man there said he knows of no such order.
Russia is saying he is disobeying our supreme commander (trump)

See it later if you can.

[demtenjeep]

22. even more scary than the disappearing evidence is that russia has the us by the balls

and can really create a horrible situation for the USA

[smirkymonkey]

23. Thanks for filling me in.

I am at work all day and often can't check in. I don't get home until about 6:30 or so and I only have basic local channels so I miss a lot during the day. I appreciate the background!

[Amaryllis]

32. I dont have TV but you can watch Rachel here on your computer for free:

http://www.livenewschat.eu/politics/

[smirkymonkey]

37. Thank you!

Just bookmarked on my browser for future use.

[lostnfound]

19. Inconvenient question not just cut from transcript, but from VIDEO.

They cut HALF of a question out — “did you want Mr. Trump to win,and did you direct...” to which Putin answered “yes I did.” — became “did you direct...”

The part about wanting trump to win is GONE from the video, and Trump is out there tweeting about Putin wanting the democrats to win.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Thank you!

Appreciate it!

[appalachiablue]

58. 7/24, Tonight's TRMS show, also posted in 'Video' on the Front Page.

[Pachamama]

71. You can always go to MSNBC.com after the fact and watch the video clips....

This show tonight is shocking - both her showing the edited tapes off the official record and her conversations with her experts.

We aren't just moving towards Fascism in America.....we are already there....

Classic Russian Disinformation....

[smirkymonkey]

73. So depressing.

It's so hard to keep one's hopes up in this atmosphere. I want to stay informed, yet the reality of all that is going on is just crushing me.

[magicarpet]

78. SM - Google - You Tube + Rachel Maddow + 7/24/18 - ....

Find that date in the listing - usually listed 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after the end of her show (10pm)on that same day. There you can watch TRMS.

[smirkymonkey]

80. Thank you!

I will do that. I really like her when I see embedded clips of her elsewhere.

[barbtries]

82. you can get her on your computer

msnbc.com

not in real time, but the next day or later in the day.

are you unable to hear the posted podcast? i listened to it because i'm at work.

the administration is editing video and transcripts of press conferences etc. Helsinki in particular.

[shraby]

5. HOLY SHIT! Drop everything and watch her next segment.

This is serious stuff!

[spanone]

6. altering the video of helsinki should be against some goddamn law

[oasis]

9. Official Goverment records tampering.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

62. And no coincidence that stephographers gone day one!

[ooky]

65. But...

a lot of people watched that live. We heard the reporter's question and we heard Putin's answer. They can't make what so many people saw go away in our minds. So I'm not sure why Trump thinks taking this information out really helps him.

[malaise]

75. Not true - the vast majority of people would have been at work n/t

[ooky]

83. I don't disagree they will just lie through it.

But we have to stick this lie in their faces, i.e. run our own ads revealing and countering this blatant lie. (n/t)

[lapfog_1]

7. yeah... it is more than idiotic tweets from deranged Trump

Changing the transcript and the video of the Helsinki news conference to edit out the question that was asked of Putin about whether or not Putin wished Trump to win and if he did anything to help that.

Changed the transcript and then edited the video...

Russia simply edited it all out... the White House edited it to change the nature of the question asked.

disinformation warfare against the American citizen practiced by both the US and Russian governments.

Then she went on to discuss Centcom commander's response to Russian news stories about "alignment of Russian and US military goals in Syria".

This is, in fact, really scary.

[wasupaloopa]

16. News agencies must have an unedited copy

[lapfog_1]

17. They are preparing the public for the inevitable

charge of "fake news" and are going to tell the Trump base (and the world in general) that we didn't see what we saw. That their version is the "correct official version" and everything else is fake

[backtoblue]

25. And it's frightening shit!

Seems to all be coming together with the fake news, blame Democrats, disregard for Constitution.

All hail shitler....

[RestoreAmerica2020]

48. At VFW, odious traitor said "What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening,"

Exerpt
[NYT; Emily Cochrane
July 24, 2018]

Stick with us. Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news,” Mr. Trump said at the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, as part of the crowd booed and hissed in the direction of the press corps.


...“What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening,” added the president.

[Staph]

20. Rachel is showing the unedited copy

to demonstrate exactly what the White House and the Russians have removed from their official transcripts and video.

And all of the other networks (excepting Fox, of course) also have the unedited video!

[lapfog_1]

33. and when all Fox had was what the rest of us saw and heard

they were doing a WTF did Trump just do... and the base was wondering WTF... and Comrade Donny couldn't have that... hence the doctored version so that Fox can "correct the record" (although they will never state that) and the base will be mollified.

[BruceWane]

70. No, not excepting Fox.....

My guess is Fox not only has the original, they helped with the editing.

Bill Shine, Trump's new deputy chief of staff overseeing communications, was #2 behind Roger Ailes at Fox news for 20+ years.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. They do; Rachel was showing it and comparing it with the WH's redacted version.

The problem is that the Trumpers are likely to claim that the real version has been faked.

[FM123]

55. I saw the segment, I agree - this is about more than idiotic tweets, it is really scary!

[oasis]

8. Heavy duty stuff. Repeats at 9:00 pacific. DO NOT MISS.

Your worst fears are knocking at the door.

[Amaryllis]

10. It is freaky but i am sure glad she is calling it like it is. Dont know how many really see what she

does. She can connect the dots better than anyone.

[ReformedGOPer]

12. Chris Cuomo on CNN playing the Cohen tape.

[procon]

13. When she said that the Russians were undermining one of our top generals

and accusing him of defying his commander in chief, their goal was very obvious. They are playing on Trump's ego, his pettiness and stupidity, laying the way for him to squash the general, and taking Russia's side over America.

Traitor!

[Silver Gaia]

14. I am not afraid. I am ANGRY.

I am not afraid because we are still a free people, free enough that we can see and hear this being exposed on nationwide television. I am fucking PISSED, LIVID. But not scared. Don't be scared because that is what they want. They want you demoralized and cowering in fear. Scream "NO!" to that! Scream "ENOUGH!" And call your Representatives and Senators! Hit the fucking streets! But DO NOT let them make you afraid. "Fear is the mind killer."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. We have to be angry and stay angry.

All this disinformation is intend to confuse, discourage and dishearten. We can't let them do that to us.

[wasupaloopa]

15. If something was left out and you know

what it is, then let everyone in the country in on it. Then it is no secret.

[oasis]

18. Remember what Trump said today at VFW gathering?

Trump boldly stated "Don't believe what you read or see". He's got his Deplorable cultists in his pocket and the GOP congress won't do jack.

[badhair77]

39. This.

The part that scares me and angers me is that his followers will believe whatever he says, despite the video or corrected transcript. They’ve been totally indoctrinated.

[Grammy23]

61. The part that angers me is that Congress knows exactly what he is doing...and yet....

They do nothing. Obviously, we ask, “WHY?” Because their agenda is not done yet. They want to give tRump a little more time to finish everything on their wish list. And they are implicated in the whole shebang. So they cannot stop him yet. Maybe they will never do a thing because they all have something on each other. They are in a strangle hold, not knowing how it will all end.

Our only hope is to get as many Dems in the Congress as we can. However, with the Russians doing their dirty work and the Republicans using their tricks, we may be in for a battle royal. Mueller needs to spill the beans ASAP to bring this out in the open.

Buckle up, fellow DUers. I think we have some rough and tumble historic times ahead.

[luvallpeeps]

69. there are none so blind

as those who WILL NOT SEE.

[GulfCoast66]

21. These motherfuckers don't scare me.

And he’s talking to a shrinking percentage of the population.

For the first time in quite a while I’m glad we live in a federalist system. Half or more of the governors in this country are willing to tell him to fuck off. And after the elections it will be a higher percentage than that.

And what are his supporters going to do? Can’t raise too much hell on a hover round with an oxygen tank. Even those idiots from Charlottesville are either fighting each other or on trial.

If every Democratic leader would start laughing at him, and called him Putins apprentice every time they are on TV, it would be over in five months.

They thrive on out rage. Humiliation destroys them.

[BigmanPigman]

44. That is what people in Scotland learned

when he was building his golf courses and they resisted. They found that the best weapon was humiliation and it worked really, really well.

[Silver Gaia]

49. Right on.

[Sneederbunk]

24. The White House falsely recording history in tandem with Russia.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

26. remember

Only 105 days til the midterms.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

[left-of-center2012]

27. Not everyone on DU gets cable.

More informative opening posts are appreciated.

thank you

[SCVDem]

29. After watching Rachel and Lawrence

I see the counter-dump strategy put forth with facts and precedent.

I am still shaken, but I also have hope.

Hope!

[FloridaBlues]

30. Have to agree bots are bcak biglythis election

["]

[Roland99]

31. ????

[Turbineguy]

34. Actually, there are a lot of good things happening.

People who are way smarter and way more honest than trump are on the move against him.

[Hekate]

35. Same here. Tomorrow: equilibrium.

Tonight: we are so fcking fckd.

[FirstLight]

40. me too, man...me too

I cannot believe we have 1984 in our fucking FACE right now and are still sheeple enough to just keep on going...myself included.
Terrifying indeed

[triron]

43. Sheeple cannot save democracy.

At least you are conscious of it. I am the same way.

[FirstLight]

47. It's fucking scary...

live in a rural mtn hippie town...when I go to the "city" or travel around "infrastructure" I am horrified at the amount to which our fellow humans are "asleep" they are worker bees/consumers...with NO care of the greenhouse gasses or toxic shit created to make their toothbrush in China and then having the shit SHIPPED everywhere...

The machine is always running

and how lucky am I to be able to get a tomato at the store in rural sierras....

our lives are fragile
our allies matter

and in the face of this crazy, we need to work more closely with actual neighbors

[VOX]

41. Just say Nyet!

Christ almighty, 45 really IS a Russian tool (heavy on the tool part).

Vote against Putin in November!! Vote Democratic!

[triron]

42. She is warning us.

Will we heed it?

[nycbos]

45. Can someone please elaborate.

That's the problem with these posts. Not everyone is glued to the TV. Some context would be helpful.

[Control-Z]

53. If you read the entire thread you'll be

filled in, pretty much.

ETA: Here is a link to a free MSNBC stream (in real time). I use it when I'm driving and unable watch at home:

http://www.livenewson.com/american/msnbc.html

[Upthevibe]

56. Here you go....This is tonight's show....

[CozyMystery]

59. Thank you for posting this!

[YOHABLO]

77. It's important to know what the interpreter was saying to Putin on his ear phone.

How do we know he was answering the first but not the second part of the question: ''and did you direct any of your officials to help him?" I think that is the most important part of the question.

[triron]

46. kick for visibility

[SleeplessinSoCal]

50. thanks for the warning. we will skip the repeat broadcast.

Enough angst for today.

[oasis]

51. Rachel's show repeats at 9:00 pacific. 1st 20 min. A MUST SEE.

[dalton99a]

54. This is a must watch

[woodsprite]

57. Also, on the tape, Trump doesn't sound nuts, like he does at his rallies.

He sounds cold and calculating.

[roamer65]

72. He is a bullshit artist.

[Upthevibe]

63. I feel like I'm watching a horror movie and

I'm watching alone..... I picked the wrong week to:

[UCmeNdc]

64. Vote the GOP bums out of office!

[Honeycombe8]

66. I got terrified when I heard Kennedy was retiring.

And that Kennedy has ties to Trump.

I view the mid-terms as our last stand. Well, the Mueller report and the mid-terms combined. This is it. When the country's democracy can be saved.

[Glimmer of Hope]

67. Yes it was very disturbing.

I will probably try to process everything when I wake up in the middle of the night.

[UCmeNdc]

68. Trump is a great propagandist leader. He uses propaganda to prop up his regime.

Trump is a dictator in the making.

[murielm99]

74. I think he is too stupid to be a dictator.

He is a dupe, being used by others.

When the repiggie congress has used him as much as they can, they will discard him. Putin can only prop him up for so long.

We will have a huge mess to clean up. It will take more years than I have left on this earth.

[Vinca]

76. I hope a journalist will confront Lyin' Sarah about this at the next press conference.

This is intentional doctoring of official records, not a mistake.

[oasis]

79. "Let me get back to you on that". Sarah's standard line.

[barbtries]

81. volunteer

call, write, march, get engaged. Put your fear to good use.

#GOTV #BlueWave2018

we still have Rachel after all. it's scary i agree but fear cannot paralyze us at all. it should only motivate us to take back the power.

[Bonx]

85. I'm always scared and don't even have a tv!

[demtenjeep]

86. My other half and I vote by mail. We sent in our ballots today

One thing I noticed was that many judgeship's races were blank because we have the D primary ballot.
