The entire panel of MSNBC's "The Weekend" was left speechless before dissolving into nervous laughter after a noted expert on authoritarianism detailed how Donald Trump managed to get himself re-elected and what to expect now that voters have handed him another four years in office.Co-host Michael Steele prompted historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat with, "I want to get your thoughts of what we can now say is the emerged, the realized form of American fascism that the American people, by some 50-plus percent decided, 'Yes, let's do that.'""I mean there is much to say," she began. "We are here now, you know, Donald Trump was very skilled at conditioning Americans to think that democracy and American democracy in particular was failing.""He called America a garbage can. He spread with his allies disinformation about the economy, said that America was failing and praised foreign dictators so he could bolster his own idea of leadership, which is 'I alone can fix it,'" she elaborated.ALSO READ:Ecstatic J6 offenders look forward to pardons from 'Daddy Trump' — and retribution"And all the slogans we have seen for years from him add up to this kind of strong men model of leadership which depends on having an enemy and an internal enemy, the enemy within," she continued."So you can justify these kind of crackdowns on the vulnerable, these repressions," she predicted. " An so this is all very unfortunate but he did a good job of conditioning over and over. We've have had eight years of this, Americans to see democracy is inferior to something else. That something else would be strong men ruled by him."After she concluded, there was a long pause before Steele and co-host Symone Sanders Townsend simultaneously uttered, "Hmmm," which then. led to a smattering of nervous laughter before turning to guest George Conway.You can watch below or at the link- YouTubeyoutu.be

She's the greatest cook that we've ever had near the Oval Office. She knows more about wine than anybody other than maybe Thomas Jefferson. Everything she does is amazing.'“So we should just cancel the election because clearly she's going to win by 25 points?”He then tried to bring the CNN panel back from what he saw as rose-colored adoration.ALSO READ: ‘Creepy weirdos’: Senator fears Trump WH staff would destroy government from ‘inside’“The reality is, i'm not going to get in Donald Trump's head, don't want to be there, don't know what's in there.

Maybe that changes in a week or two, or six or eight, but at this point, Donald Trump is still winning despite this barrage of nothing but positive press for Kamala Harris and has been marinated in the public's mind.”Cardona had set him off by suggesting that Trump was “going through a mental meltdown” because of his opponent's popularity.“Not just that she is incredibly accomplished as DA, AG, senator, VP,” she said, “but the fact that she is also very attractive. I mean, I have to say it.“...In addition to that, she's not only a woman, she's a woman of African American Asian descent, daughter of immigrants, Jamaican descent.I mean, it's it's this sort of cauldron of all of the things that Trump has nightmares about every single night.”Watch the video below or click the link here.

A half dozen guests at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress were arrested and charged after "disrupting" the speech from inside the House chamber, the Capitol Police said Wednesday.Why it matters: During standing ovations, several of the protesters were displaying "SEAL THE DEAL NOW" t-shirts urging the Israeli prime minister to broker a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.What they're saying: "Five people in the House Gallery just disrupted the Address during the Joint Meeting," Capitol Police spokesperson Brianna Burch said of the first five arrests in a statement. "All of them were immediately removed from the Gallery and arrested. Disrupting the Congress and demonstrating in the Congressional Buildings is against the law."Burch told Axios that those five and one additional guest were charged under a Washington, D.C. statute that makes it a crime to "parade, demonstrate, or picket within any of the Capitol Buildings."Zoom in: Among those arrested was Carmit Palty Katzir, an Israeli whose father and brother were both hostages killed in Hamas captivity, according to a photo shared with Axios.Others include hostage family members Alon Gat, Michael Levy and Gil Dickmann, according to the Hostage Families Forum.The other side: "After nine long months of waiting for a deal to bring all of our hostages home, we came to the United States along with 40 other hostage families to advocate for a deal that will return all hostages home now," the arrestees said in a statement."Some of us wore a t-shirt calling on our Prime Minister to finally seal that deal, because this is his responsibility. And for that perceived offense, we were removed from the visitors gallery."Go deeper...
