Yeah. I don't blame the host. She's doing a good job. Just doesn't have much to work with here.

I literally yelled at the television when the host was making a cogent point about Trump pardoning Jan 6th rioters and Cornell West jumped in to meander into a parable about loving people. Give it a minute, dude!!!!!

I don't want to downplay how much social media has cooked people's brains, but this stuff really doesn't help. The posse of guests is clearly geared more towards entertainment than information. Cornell West yelling at some MAGA guy isn't adding anything to this coverage!

America is a great country. It's an infinitely better country than it was in the good ol days. If you're not willing to defend it, you're going to lose it.
Yes, sure. America has problems. So does Canada! But if you can't make a positive case for real life America, the dark fantasies will prevail

If one side is like, man, we need a cleansing fire to purge this den of iniquity, and the other side is like, well, maybe a few technocratic fixes will make things less bad, I have bad news about which side is going to win.

Also probably need the White House to stop pushing up interest rates to onshore textile jobs.

MAGA cosplays hyper-masculinity because they are the least manly people on earth. Afraid of their own shadows.

I moved on philosophically from libertarianism a long time ago. But it's refreshing some people who stuck around actually believe in civil liberties.
