Trump Deploying More Federal Forces To 3 Cities | The ReidOut | MSNBC
James Madison, a real patriot to educate all the fake ones supporting Trump –
“The censorial power is in the people over the government, and not in the government over the people.”
“Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.”
“As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn.”
“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations; but, on a candid examination of history, we shall find that turbulence, violence, and abuse of power, by the majority trampling on the rights of the minority, have produced factions and commotions, which, in republics, have, more frequently than any other cause, produced despotism. If we go over the whole history of ancient and modern republics, we shall find their destruction to have generally resulted from those causes.”
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce. … The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State.”
“Who are to be the electors of the federal representatives? Not the rich, more than the poor; not the learned, more than the ignorant; not the haughty heirs of distinguished names, more than the humble sons of obscurity and unpropitious fortune. The electors are to be the great body of the people of the United States. They are to be the same who exercise the right in every State of electing the corresponding branch of the legislature of the State.”
“Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression. In our Government, the real power lies in the majority of the Community, and the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from the acts of Government contrary to the sense of its constituents, but from acts in which the Government is the mere instrument of the major number of the constituents.”
“It is essential to such a government, that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans, and claim for their government the honorable title of republic.”
“The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust.”
“I entirely concur in the propriety of restoring to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. In that sense alone it is a legitimate constitution. And, if that be not the guide in expounding it, there can be no security for consistent and stable government.”
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
“I have observed that gentlemen suppose that the general legislature will do every thing mischievous they possibly can, and that they will omit to do every thing good which they are authorized to do. If this were a reasonable supposition, their objections would be good. I consider it reasonable to conclude that they will as readily do their duty as deviate from it; nor do I go on the grounds mentioned by gentlemen on the other side — that we are to place unlimited confidence in them, and expect nothing but the most exalted integrity and sublime virtue. But I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks, no form of government, can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men; so that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.”
“What influence, in fact, have ecclesiastical establishments had on society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the civil authority; on many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate it, needs them not.”
“The smaller the society, the fewer probably will be the distinct parties and interests composing it; the fewer the distinct parties and interests, the more frequently will a majority be found of the same party; and the smaller the number of individuals composing a majority, and the smaller the compass within which they are placed, the more easily will they concert and execute their plans of oppression. Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens; or if such a common motive exists, it will be more difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act in unison with each other.”
“And if novelties are to be shunned, believe me, the most alarming of all novelties, the most wild of all projects, the most rash of all attempts, is that of rending us in pieces, in order to preserve our liberties, and promote our happiness.”
“The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.”….”The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
’nuff said.
Stunning. The last sentence is so prophetic it gave me chills. Everything, religion, virtue, the “silent encroachment of those in power”… It is our right, & our duty “to throw off such a government and provide new guards for future security.” We have a despot sending troops to quell and destroy freedom of speech, freedom to protest the encroachments of a government gone rogue. This is proving to be an epic test of our very foundation, our Constitution, and whether it can withstand this assault. I fear that the tyrant will not yield to the voice of the people. And then… what?
That has been he and his Criminal Enterprise of GOPs, Bill Barr, NRA Making Money off Gun Sales Going Up, RNC keeping their Power and Dark Money Self Interest Groups hiding In the Dark and Pence along with his False Prophet Bible Hugging Conartist Hypocrites who believe they are Especially Entitled to White Power, Judges and to Rule Above True Biblically Ordained Gospel Institutions. They are Devil Worshipping Cultists And the Good News they have been Exposed for the HERESY they Stand For.
He’s trying to instigate a violent response, he wants to escalate so he can declare martial law. The man is sick and desperate.
Bubba Smollett good talk bot goodbye
Bubba Smollett and only estupidos for Trump!
@sal been Hahaha, watch much fox? Sad talking points slick, try again.
@Jon Thomas I’m not, the violence is being presented by the criminal’s des[perate attempt to solicit violence, keep up.
An Orange jumpsuit is Trump’s camouflage
Can’t wait to see what Chicagoans do to trump’s rent-a-troopers…lol…
@Kim Sears maybe you should study up on the Vietnam war ,
The Democrats defunded America’s support to the south vietnamese,
Which was promised to them,
@Gonzalo Hernandez waste of water in my opinion. But it is funny to watch.
@William Bailey lmao i know right totally agree with u
@Joe Biden And?
Trump is attempting to incite violence and the first casualties will be innocents.
Where are all the conservatives?!?!? This is one of the issues they’re terrified of happening in the US. They should be losing their collective minds right now.
@Logan McLean federal intervention in what exactly? There is nothing they’ll be able to do in places like Chicago or NYC that will amount to anything sustainable outside of reinforcing the idea of a police state in America.
@William Bailey actually a lot of people do, not sure why you’re so offended as most people just ignore them. Triggered much?😘
As long as the boot is on someone else’s neck, they will have no problem with it, even though they railed against federal overreach forever. They just have no principles, what do you expect?
@William Bailey you said “we”, generalizing conservatives and making a response on their behalf so I generalized as well thus the “y’all”
@Tom Vana your funny, liberals are conservative as well. Were just not Catheys.
Trump acts like a dictator what man againts hes own people
2nd Amendment remedy…don’t fall into Twitlers trap. Fight the common enemy.
@Gonzalo Hernandez Look at the view count on the video and most MSNBC videos. COVID has made you a cult. Which, I might add, you always were.
@Mox Avenger People have a right to show their disgust for Government. Beware of agents stirring the pot ‘to be needed’. Street Theater is a method to show that force is necessary. Thugs do it.
@Crom the Wise lmao oh wow the one in a cult by the way theu think IS YOU . Be safe and god bless u
@Gonzalo Hernandez Yah, whatever.
This is scary to think this is happening in the US.
@Tom Vana what is liberalism? Do you know?
@Justice Boofer He only knows what FOX news tells him liberalism means.
*TRUMP FOR PRISON 2021*
“Democrat run cities”. Ookay. So, if the mayor is a Democrat it’s a “Democrat run city”? What about a Democratic Mayor in a city in a Republican Congressional distict? What if the mayor is Republican, but the Governor, Congressman, and one Senator are Democrats? What if the Mayor is a Democrat in a city that had a Republican Mayor for the past 30 years until recently? What about a Democrat for a governor, a Republican Congressman, a Democrat city Alderman, and a Republican President…It’s such a ridiculous talking point.
@J Groovy Five Trump supporters just fainted from trying to understand your comment. 🤣
Those governors should call the national guard to keep out Trump’s Gestapo.
@northerniltree Compare the viewer count on MSNBC videos to the number of protestors in some of these zones. I think you’ll find a parity. You’re talking to a brick wall of brainwashing.
@Tanner Shortnacy Well said. Very well said. Oh, Tanner, we’re both wasting our time here, though. These people are fanatics. I’m actually at a point where I just want to stay away from them – like the jabbering lunatic on the street corner. Let’s go get a beer.
Crom the Wise Finally someone I agree with. 😀🇺🇸
@Tanner Shortnacy Whatup. We’ll get through this. We’re dealing with a weird cult. Probably about 12% of the population (and no, I don’t mean the black population.) I think about 12% are just lost. Why that is, is anybody’s guess. I’m gonna watch some Deep Space 9 now. Turn in early. I’ve got a conference call in the morning.
@Tanner Shortnacy No…We certainly don’t.
So this is what authoritarianism looks like!
trump is a scared little man, keep up the peaceful protests. he has only about 150 days in office
@John Moh Blaxta Yup!
The man is a Clown. Throw the Orange Clown in the Juicer.
He’s more like Agent Orange and as toxic.
History has shown us that this is how all dictatorships start.
Forrest Trump my aren’t you witty !
No , you’re a loud mouth fool spewing hate
trump is a scared little man, keep up the peaceful protests. he has only about 150 days in office
J Groovy , Nazis fool
L. J. , please point out where republicans tried to impeach barry with opinion and hearsay. How about pointing out where republicans started a investigation using evidence they knew was a fabrication meaning the mueller investigation.
Divide and Conquer.
Trump is helping America’s Enemy – Putin
Most people have read the Art of War .
When will America wake up and get rid of Trump?
“Art of War”? Read? What’s that?
Americans don’t read they watch tv cop shows and action hero comic movies.
Land of the “entitled lowly educated”
Tom Vana is one more proof of it.
@erod, says the soy boy waiting at his mailbox for the mailman to deliver his government assistance
That’s a trick question. Nov & January.
@I hate Hipsters tru. Ive yet to meet a MAGAt capable of passing a 5th grade civics test.
@JVS 3 lol
If the head guy of homeland security troops says this is illegal, why are his troops dressed up in fatigues and marching on cities? Who is in charge here???”
He doesn’t lead the agency anymore. The guy in charge now has zero experience and is only there because he pledged loyalty to Donny
The guy, Tom Ridge, was the first head of DHS.
And people said that FASCISM would never happen here under Trump. Never thought I would see this in America-until Trump and his cronies slithered in.
This should scare the crap out of every American citizen. We are becoming like Russia, North Korea or Venezuela. Trump needs to be stopped.
By ANY Means Necessary.
He needs to be arrested for blatant crimes against American citizens and violations of the Constitution.
who’s gonna do that? he has secret police rounding up dissidents. who’s gonna arrest trump? the people who’d arrest him are fascists. they like what’s going on.
Paula, who is upvoting your idiocy? Go and read a book. Do something useful.
@Rob Perry I think the real question is what that down thumb is for. Funny how Youtube doesn’t show it’s count. Positive reinforcement lol.
Someone really needs take him out, why isn’t anyone protecting American citizens and their rights
That’s really hard to understand…
This is how democracy dies. Applauded by republicans.
no. trump is just a scared little man
@Tessmage Tessera What and allow it to be spun into Trumps Reichstag moment?
@Mad Hatman Then go out on your belly, if that’s your preference. I choose to honor my ancestors and fight to preserve our Republic. Live Free or Die.
Drumpf trying to incite because dividing us is all he has. Don’t fall into his trap. Fight the common enemy.
@Tessmage Tessera That’s what he wants is for violence to occur and them he can claim martial law and suspend the election. It’s not fair to accuse me of cowardice when you don’t even know me. I am simply stating what I think his tactic will be. The guy is desperate and he is trying to find any way he can to keep power. If you have to do violence at least wait until after the election. That will also give you time to organize and prepare. If you just act out now alone it will be ineffectual.
This is voter intimidation! He is sending the message that if you vote in Democrats I will occupy your city or state!!
Never underestimate the actions of a stupid, desperate man.
Why can’t anyone stop this?
More chaos in a world filled with chaos.
Its unbelievable…how is this America?
Catherine ….VOTE
Leftist are pushing for violence and chaos in a gross attempt at upsetting the election. It’s gonna put us into another civil war as real Americans have had it
… because they’re all waiting to see how it plays out in their favor. The Cabinet and The Senate have the authority to act.
Lol, like the Patriot Act was never going to lead to this. Bin Laden is laughing in his grave.
Oh yeah, we knew this was coming 20 years ago. A decade ago, on my own web site, I told people to “Buy guns and learn how to use them. Then wait.” When others asked me why, I said “Because in the next 10 to 15 years, there’s going to be fighting in the streets of America.” And this was long before Trump showed up. It’s been building for a long time.
