Elon Musk is a supervillain for preventing ww3? you guys are fucking american idiots. just goes to show that even a "liberal" in america is a warmongering scumbag. you guys let me fown for the last time with your pro-Nato (the obvious real supervillain, based on statistics, not cold war mentalities) bullshit.
Trump said that Pence was too honest when he wouldn't help with the election fraud.
"why is this rhetoric working?" because southerners are stupid and easy to influence. Look at GA with Herschel Walker...repubs dont care about how much of a p.o.s. someone is as long as they were once famous. like a bunch of redneck moths to a bigoted hypocritical flame
It pains me to listen to this show. Instead of talking about solutions or the systematic issues - they're having uncle corner, complaining and saying "both sides" And not the good both sides like "Republicans and Democrats are elitists assholes horading their wealth" But the bad both sides. The people who say "Republicans ped0s are bad especiallywhen their making laws, but those Democrats are bad too!" I get neoliberals are still conservative, but please talk about white supremacy, capitalism, and the forced indoctrination of religion. Instead of complaining - mobilize your base into action. Thank you
Spotify? Hard pass.
Travel ban has also been extended to Narnia
Sounds like he says "The NRAcists" 26:05
just boring as all hell
Okay, don't bring The Expanse into this.
Ben nailed the "Bernie Bro" definition. Even though I like Elizabeth Warren - I'm for Bernie all the way, he inspires real economic change. You're wasting time when you cant imagine Bernie and vice Elizabeth Warren.
im with travis on the kurd issue, small troop commitment saving lives by being there is most important
who do you guys really work for? first you tried to out Cory Booker then you said Cheney shot down an airliner as if it was fact
can't wait to see Hail Yourself. looking forward to it here in Nashville
The crime Trump can be accused of is extortion. A high crime if ever there was one.
This past year the podcast has really dipped. Hardly able to listen to it. wonder of its Markuses fault for not being as into these podcasts as he used to be. Or that liberal cuck they have on here now adays
Travis is an incel
obama and netflix, Reagan and politics.

Where's Markus.
can I just say the prisons are not over staffed, that shouldn't even come into question when we know we have over incarceration for little things such as weed.
