Segment 1

Ana joins Cenk, Ben, and Wes for SCS. Billionaire Bruce Rauner is running for Governor of Illinois and after catching heat for being out of touch with regular people, he’s fought back by calling out Mitt Romney, distancing himself from being another Mitt.  The Romney camp responded with insults of their own.  Video of Rauner’s ad, claiming to drive a 20 year old van with 200,000 miles. Wes speculates on political and influential reasons someone like Rauner would have 9 homes. The NYPD has settled a $33,000 case after wrongfully arresting 3 men for possessing meth, when it was actually, and obviously Jolly Ranchers. The officers originally claimed they performed a field test that positively identified the candy as meth, but that was untrue.

Segment 2

Floyd Mayweather is facing a civil lawsuit based on abuse of his ex.  Anti-virus company Avast surveyed people to see how often people snoop through their partner’s smartphone.  20% of men and 25% of women admitted to snooping and their reasons slightly differed.  Ben predicted that 75% of the panel has done it, so he tells his story of doing it. A man in Mumbai has filed for divorce partially due to his wife’s insatiable desire for sex, harassing him for it all of the time.  Ana is the only one of the 4 panelists that think the man has a case.

  1. I feel strange that I am the only person who saw the narrative in this story.

    The woman may have been a nymphomanic but the mans lawyer just used that as a weapon.

    Only one side of the story was told because she was shamed into not going.

    She had to either hide in shame or debate how much she wanted to get her ass fucked by her husband.

    Was it all the time like he said on only on several occasions?
    It doesn’t matter she is a whore either way.

    Very foul, dirty fighting and he won. He was still beating down after she gave up.

    She couldn’t win. I don’t see any humor in this story.

    It is sad that people’s bullshit detector is so out of whack.

  2. Come on Cenk be serious it’s not a power panel unless Jimmy Dore, Wes Clark Jr, Ben, or Brian Unger are on. I won’t watch the full recorded shows other wise.

  3. Lincoln would kick the shit out of Washington.

    FACT about Lincoln: He would get into fights with people, and did have a few famous fights in his career, politically. How did he win them?

    He would pick up FULL GROWN men by the throat (often with one hand) and THROW them across the room. He literally beat the shit out of 3 grown men by just hurling them around him.

    That isn’t an exaggeration. Lincoln would kick the shit out of him. The only equally vicious president would likely be Teddy. Maybe Reagen.

  4. Any guy who thinks there’s no such thing as too much sex, has not tried it. It is excruciating.

    Because not only is it physically exhausting and an endurance trial to keep fucking when you’re not really horny, but you feel like a complete asshole that you’re not satisfying her.

    1. Because they paid extra to be embedded in the content of the show. See every other news and commentary show out there, like Morning Joe (brought to you by Starbucks).

  5. A coworker’s husband in Boston was going into an apartment building to pick up his 2 little boys who were playing with friends. On his way up the walk, police came out of nowhere and threw him to the ground, handcuffed him and took him downtown to a holding cell. It turned out the police were staking out the building for a drug-related situation. The poor guy had diabetes and this caused serious health problems. His wife was able to get him released, because they knew a black officer who was high up in rank. They sued the BPD and the court awarded them $57,000 — $40,000 of it went to the lawyer and this couple got $17,000. They redid their kitchen and took their children to Disney World for a week. Weren’t they lucky!!

  6. yes, they have field testing for drugs, at least they have little plastic packs, about 1.5 by 3 inches, about 1/8 inch thick, that can detect most drugs in urine, a few drops are placed in the input to a channel running into the device, they must have ones that can detect drugs directly. Parole offices go through these things by the thousands a month.

  7. OMG–now you’re saying G Washington would kick Lincolns ass? Are you shitting me? Washington, the richest man in America, huge land and slave holder, is going to kick the working class ass of Lincoln? One half-effort punch to Washington in the mouth and he’s down for good, his teeth were so bad as to be debilitating. Lincoln was almost as tall, and known for his strength. I’m starting to worry about you guys, y’all get dumb when Clark is on, really.

    1. 100% agreed. They get dumb when when Wes Clarke is on. They’re like fanboys or something. They start changing their entire message against war, because they’re so fucking giddy about having a real military guy in the room. It’s disgusting to watch. Especially ben mankiewicz, with his ADHD, can’t ever stick with the story he’s talking about, jumping all over the map, turns into a puddle of goo around Wes. I don’t know what that’s about. There’s some kind of testosterone thing involved, I think, like their fucking annoying discussion about sex and all the times Wes likes to fuck. Ugh.

      Being in the military doesn’t make you a military expert. Having a father who ran NATO doesn’t make you a NATO expert. NATO was formed as an antagonist against the Soviet Empire. Once the Soviets were gone, it should have been destroyed. The fact that it wasn’t shows that it is a tool of Empire, and not a defensive weapon. If the US (which totally controls NATO) is using it to expand into the Russian sphere of influence, even if you support that action, you have to talk about it. You can’t just talk about Russia’s actions as if they occur out of nowhere and have no cause or reason behind them.
