[@davidbalducci4312]

I see that this video is dated 2014. I wonder what these fellows would have to say, if anything, about the recent revelations about the Steele Dossier.

[@tiaturnbullchampionscoachi9587]

The rule of law reassert itself right after we break it until we want to break it again and then we reasserted for everybody else. Now that I violated you the law goes back into place and no one is allowed to violate anybody until I decide to violate someone else again. It's kind of like I can call myself a holy person as long as I go and say forgive me for I have sinned that I let it go until the next time I feel like sending again and then I send and go say I forgive me because I have sinned until I feel like doing it again. So basically when I bring fear I can break the laws and do whatever I want because I'm in fear but then as soon as I'm no longer and fair the law goes back into place for everybody else. Another words do what I say not what I do.

congress / senate has responsibility to conduct foreign policy through constitutional power to declare war and approve treaties, which is in line with republican principles; rather than president which has constitutional power to appoint and receive ambassadors and diplomats for enforcing treaties, and as commander in chief power of making war to enforce constitution for federal government

[@snowflakeca2079]

"We the people" are ultimately in charge, and like a parent, we have to tell our children (government agencies) what they can and can't do. The vacuum of our laziness is currently filled by corporations. And that's why we are where we are. Laziness...

Democracy DOES have power! But only if u believe in it. Just like money. The day people lost faith it becomes worthless.

[@perkinsvalentine]

These guys talk about capitalism outliving communism, but achieving that goal turns democracy into authoritarianism.

@suny123boy1 Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..." Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives." Sounds pretty similar.

[@melaniecotterell9972]

If all votes were tallied together the chances of fraud increase 50x. And a close election would be a nightmare. There are many other good reasons for the EC. Like inner city democratic districts that vote 99% democratic. That is bullying, there re no republican districts that are 90%+ republican..

[@mftoeless1687]

@@melaniecotterell9972 disagree remove the electoral college system and the two party system and replace it with a ranked voting system and have long form debates so that candidates can tell their nuanced opinions to the public instead of two minute talking points and snake like attacks

[@deang7097]

Overall, a good presentation. But to call this presentation a "trail" from Eisenhower to Obama, that a misnomer. Highly respected scholars discussed the issue of spying to different degrees, but I never heard any lineage of spying.

[@claudettediggs9627]

This issue being discussed is so necessary in order to make sense of why we as a people in the United States need to be on 1 according with the Almighty God in protecting the world. Fear is never a solution to power

Great information. I’d like these four to appear again, given the damage done to US relationships and alliances by the mentally deranged person that occupies the Oval Office in 2018. As a side note, why is their never a director in control of these little films? The shots are unflattering and poorly lit, the set looks like the Tyvek paper that covers houses under construction, and someone should have instructed Mr Kinzer on how to sit when facing a camera.

The retelling of Clapper lying to the Senate at 47 minutes bothers me. Clapper got asked that question on live TV. If the same Senator had asked the same question in a committee would Clapper have given the same answer? Probably. But Senator Wyden created a situation where he had the choice but to lie or divulge information about NSA's capabilities. Expecting intelligence services to be transparent with leadership is reasonable. Expecting them to have complete transparency to the public is moronic for obvious reasons.

Diem was autocratic, refused land reform, opposed Buddhism the predominant religion of the land and was a kind of French urban bureaucrat that lived in denial of the insurgency that was enveloping the countryside. The US felt he was driving the population into the arms of the Communist insurgency, SO a coup by military men seemed reasonable. His execution was a local thing; the US agreed to the Coup on the explicit understanding he and his family would not be harmed. So NO mystery there.

[@terryhobbs335]

Kennedy did not want Diem killed and when Kennedy found out, he was angry and felt betrayed.
