You need to let this go...
great episode. so sad - changing up the show in light of the circumstances was the right way to go.
The sound on this edition is subpar.
My respect for MBD, already low, fell dramatically in this episode. He just says stuff.
With just a brief shrug when talking about Trump’s comments on Cheney, I no longer consider these guys to have moral, civic, or even intellectual credibility. If Trump wins and the next four years are a disaster, some small part will be on them.
Jim is a pathetic pussy.
Phil Kline talks too much
You lose all credibility when you can't even pronounce her name correctly
Little disappointed to hear the panel repeat MAGA talking points regarding Trump conviction.
Where are the complete show notes? Editors picks and the light item picks are missing.
but what's the band's name?
Give me a break. I'm six minutes into this and you haven't mentioned guns. fatherless, no religion, too much time in his room. you guys make me sick. Will never listen again.
expressed written permission of MLB??? Lol
This is an anti Canada, anti vaccination broadcast, contemptuous and sneering. I was disappointed.
rambling nonsense from across the pond alcoholic
Why can't you guys get anyone on your team with even a slightly different view?
The predictable straw-man arguments from National Review. Does anyone believe that these guys are not all vaccinated? No one said that the vaccinated have reason to be afraid of the unvaccinated, Biden made it clear---again---that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, unlike what these hacks and grifters are saying. It's absolute dishonest propaganda.
None of these people has to worry about being evicted. The complete lack of empathy for their fellow Americans that do have to worry about it is shocking and despicable. If we are not willing to apply the same standards of basic morality on ourselves that we apply to others then we have no right to talk. None!
Charlie is so full of crap when it comes to ranked choice voting... To make his argument that we should stick with what is simpler and doesn't use computers.... computers are used now without ranked choice and it is the incompetent people in the board of elections that is messing up.
Maddy is a useless pundit.
