MSNBC’s Maddow Calls On Military, Media & Millions Of Americans To Defy Trump Administration

Fearmongering to MSNBC viewers following Donald Trump’s presidential election landslide win, far-left talking head Rachel Maddow urged citizens, U.S. military leaders and media personalities to resist the incoming administration so that America doesn’t become “authoritarian.”

Speaking to Democrats feeling dismayed at the outcome of this week’s election, Maddow said, “History doesn’t end. Time doesn’t stop. Now we have the benefit of knowing how this has gone in every other country that has been through a democracy to authoritarian transition. And sadly, there are a lot of them. We have the benefit of seeing what’s happened in those other countries, though, and what we know is that the more ground the authoritarian takes, the harder it is to ever get that ground back.”

“And so the first order of business is to stop them from taking any uncontested ground right from the outset. When it comes to what our system of government is and what our democracy is, right, we know from other countries experiences that quickly– I mean now in the next few weeks if not the next few days –they are going to start pushing to see how far the country is going to let them go, without pushback, without protest.”

Next, the mainstream media anchor tried to mobilize Harris supporters, saying, “They’re counting on all those tens of millions of Americans to be despondent, to feel powerless, to check out, which, of course, would mean letting them do what they want, letting them run the table. What they really don’t want is for the half the country that voted against them– the half the country that wants to keep our democracy –what they really don’t want is for those tens of millions of Americans to wake up tomorrow feeling scrappy as hell.”

“Now we can work full time on being freaking pirates. On being a thorn in the side to anyone who now intends to try to turn this country into some pin pot tyranny. What they want, least of all, is to realize that half the country went to bed sad tonight, but then woke up tomorrow fired up with a new sense of purpose, knowing that, apparently, this is what we are on this earth to do with American citizens in this generation,” she added.

Maddow claimed protest “has to be done now” and “has to happen in sort of every aspect, every corner of our society.”

“The U.S. military needs to give the American people binding assurances that they will not deploy U.S. military force against the civilian population in this country. They can give those assurances, and now they should,” she stated.

“The free press needs to give the people of this country assurances that they will not become state TV,” the Democrat newswoman continued.

The View Hosts Cope and Seethe After Trump’s Victory

The View hosts coped and seethed after Donald Trump’s victory, calling for mandatory ‘fake news’ indoctrination for infants in nursery school and government censorship of social media.

The ABC show has spent months hysterically bashing Trump, meaning many people were eager to tune in and enjoy their meltdown after he crushed Kamala Harris in the election.

They really weren’t happy.

After complaining that right-wing news outlets like Fox News and Newsmax were to blame (presumably because they didn’t fall in line with leftist networks and give Trump 85% negative coverage), Joy Behar demanded action.

“One of the things that we need to do…in Finland, kids in nursery school, are learning to discern between fake news and real news, they should be teaching that in this country, teach children tolerance! Teach them to think critically,” she asserted.

This is somewhat ironic given that the legacy media ran with a seemingly endless number of fake news stories to bash Trump, such as the hoax that he called for a physical “bloodbath” in America and the fabricated claim that he called for Liz Cheney to be executed by a firing squad.

Another one of the hosts then chimed in with the insistence that Trump won because the government didn’t impose enough censorship.

“Well, it would help if we could regulate social media, because one of the biggest defenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations of social media,” she said.

Another blathered about “Elon Musk” as the panel had a collective hissy fit over Americans being allowed to access a social media platform that doesn’t heavily censor and ban conservative content.

As we highlighted yesterday, the tears are already flooding but leftists are still struggling to grasp why Trump won – because the majority of Americans don’t share their demented world view and warped “values”.

2024’s Biggest Loser Is The Corporate Media Industrial Complex

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her.

The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they’ve only ramped up their efforts since then.

The problem they’re reckoning with tonight is this: those efforts didn’t work. They’re no longer able to control Americans by controlling their information intake, because their credibility is farther deep-sixed than the Clinton family’s enemies list.

A TV executive anonymously fretted last week that “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form.”

Even before the election results were in, that was true of the corporate press. Jeff Bezos knew it when he reportedly ordered The Washington Post to withhold an endorsement of Harris. But now, they can’t avoid it.

Since the last presidential election, the media have screeched incessantly about Trump “inciting an insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They made documentaries comparing Trump to the Ku Klux Klan. They portrayed Trump as the ringleader of a terrorist attack and not as a president who gave a speech and urged his supporters to protest peacefully.

Tuesday night’s results are a resounding indication that Americans didn’t buy it.

With help from a debunked story planted in The Atlantic, the media made Trump out to be a “fascist” and routinely compared him to Hitler. When Trump held a gangbusters rally at Madison Square Garden, they screeched that he and his supporters were obviously Nazis because they gathered at the same venue that Nazi sympathizers once rented — along with Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, Beyoncé, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.

They called him a threat to democracy and said he would be a dictator. That didn’t work either.

Russia Hoax Begins! Left Already Pointing to Moscow amid Harris Election Prospects

As Vice President Kamala Harris faces increasingly challenging odds in the current election, left-wing voices are reviving familiar claims of Russian interference to explain a potential defeat.

In an attempt to deflect responsibility and shield the administration from blame, left wing personalities are already turning to a narrative that blames Russian interference for the election outcome

Russia “wants Vice President Kamala Harris to lose,” largely because of the Biden administration’s policy in support of Ukraine, but also to instill and exploit division in the United States, reported CBS News host Margaret Brennan.

By “trying to be agents of chaos,” the Russian threat “doesn’t stop with Election Day — it continues well after,” she added. “It is making us doubt ourselves, our systems, each other, and possibly stoke violence.”

And the Meltdown Begins: Dangerous MSNBC Wacko Joy Reid Calls Florida an “Extreme Right-Wing Fascist State” and Attacks Half of the Country for Supporting Trump

The leftist media is having a meltdown as President Trump’s popularity surges across the nation. Now, Joy Reid, the famously radical MSNBC host, is throwing a tantrum on live television, calling Florida a “fascist state” and attacking half the country for supporting Trump.

Reid’s comments come on the heels of Trump’s record-breaking rise on prediction platforms like Polymarket, where he has seen his largest gain yet. Even The New York Times grudgingly acknowledges that Trump holds an 83% chance of winning.

As usual, Reid couldn’t hold back her disdain for conservatives and for Trump supporters for aligning with Trump’s vision to make America great again.

“You just think about just the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said into, into the TV that people could hear him say and do. The vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats to do mass deportation and a violent start, violent start to his dictatorship on day one. And you name it. If all of that gets you half of the votes, what does it tell you? I mean, we need to really take a step back and think about what does that say about us?”

CNN’s Acosta On Nevada Mail-In Ballot Issues: ‘Young People Don’t Know How To Sign Their Name’

CNN anchor Jim Acosta discussed an election issue in Las Vegas, Nevada, where over 13,000 people across the state who voted by mail will have to verify their identities in order for their votes to count.

According to the news anchor, “a lot of young voters don’t know how to sign their names,” saying state officials are texting the individuals for verification or else their votes won’t be counted.

The issue is strange, as even young people surely know how to sign their own names, but it’s also suspicious that AP News says “younger voters” have slightly shifted towards Trump in the 2024 election.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid Asserts Media Has “Said All They Can” To Help Kamala Win

Illustrating how the fourth estate is now brazenly a branch of the political establishment, MSNBC’s Joy Reid asserted that the media has “said all they can” to help Kamala Harris win the election.

Reid made the revealing comments during her show last night.

“We begin our final sprint having arrived at that point in the election season where basically we, on this side of the TV screen have said, all we can, we’ve laid out the stakes in this crucial election,” she said.

The talk show host went on to engage in her usual blathering word salad of implying all Trump supporters were fascists and that Trump himself was Hitler and Mussolini combined.

NBC strategically timed Harris’ promo on ‘SNL’ to get around federal law: FCC commissioner

NBC’s apparent attempt to give Kamala Harris a last-minute boost with a cringey spot on “Saturday Night Live” — which some critics have called an “in-kind donation” — appears to have been strategically timed in order to “evade” Federal Communications Commission rules, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said ahead of the Nov. 2 broadcast.

Carr, in the Republican minority on the commission, noted on X ahead of Harris’ appearance, “This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule. The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election.”

While the FCC’s equal opportunities rule established by the Communications Act of 1934 does not require that networks like NBC “provide opposing candidates with programs identical to the initiating candidate,” networks generally must provide “comparable time and placement.”

Carr indicated that in recent elections, NBC at least made an effort to follow the equal time rule.

The Hollywood Reporter noted, for instance, that in 2015, then-candidate Trump appeared on “Saturday Night Live” during the Republican primary for a total of 12 minutes and five seconds. NBC subsequently offered the same amount of airtime to his opponents.

“NBC stations publicly filed Equal Opportunity notices to ensure that all other qualifying candidates could obtain Equal Time if they sought it,” wrote the commissioner. “Stations did the same thing when Clinton appeared on SNL.”

The equal time rule did not require NBC to seek out President Donald Trump and ask him if he similarly wanted to appear on “Saturday Night Live” but requires that the network entertain requests by the Republican president.

Carr suggested that the last-minute nature of Harris’ “Saturday Night Live” spot was ostensibly the liberal outlet’s way of flouting the FCC’s rule.

Israel’s oldest and most influential newspaper calls for an end to ethnic cleansing and asks other nations to sanction Israel to end hostilities

Amos Shocken, editor (and owner) of the most influential, Israeli daily conservative newspaper, Ha’aretz (equivalent to the NY Times) called upon other countries to take action by imposing sanctions on Israel for its implementation of ethnic cleansing and a second NAKBA (the 1948 forced evacuation and massacres of Palestinians. For Palestinians, Nakba is akin to the Holocaust).

Shocken urged the countries of the world force Israel to recognize Palestinian statehood.

In response, Israel’s “justice minister” Yariv Levin demanded that a law be passed imposing  20-year prison sentences for any Israeli who calls for sanctions…

Newsweek Corrected False Perceptions Of Russian Policy Towards Israel

This facilitates Russia’s involvement in any potentially forthcoming multilateral talks on resolving the latest regional war, which could in turn facilitate Russian-US talks for resolving the Ukrainian Conflict.

The Mainstream Media (MSM) and the Alt-Media Community (AMC) have hitherto pushed the same narrative about Russian policy in West Asia by misportraying it as anti-Israeli, each in advance of their own ideological interests, the first because Israel is the US’ ally and the second because it’s Iran’s enemy. That’s why it’s so surprising that Newsweek, which is one of the most globally known MSM outlets, just published a piece that corrects false perceptions of Russian policy towards Israel.

Titled “At War in Ukraine, Putin Emerges as Potential Peace Broker in Middle East”, the most important part is the first third where they quote former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor Orna Mizrahi. She now serves as a senior researcher at the Institute of National Security Studies and can be considered an authoritative source on this subject given her impressive professional experience. Here’s what she told Newsweek regarding reported plans for a new UNSC Resolution to reduce arms flows to Hezbollah:

“We always prefer the Americans, but we understand that, because of [the Russians’] really good relations nowadays with the Iranians, maybe they can provide something that will contribute to this for the stability of any arrangement in the future.

Another point is the fact that they are part of the United Nations Security Council five and if we get to the point that we have some kind of a new resolution about the ceasefire in the United Nations Security Council, we would like that the Russians will approve it.
